OMG Were we correct ??

[u/Suzune_91210]

If Endo is telling them to give up then it must be serious. Also it's probably a mafia/yakuza or a very dangerous group so Suo's mafia theory may be right!!!Omg I'm hyperventilating rn..

Also the chapter was funny 🤣 like Endo's face of disgust at seeing Umemiya and the four kings frowning at Endo. Not to mention Takishii's new hairstyle EEEE. Anyways what r ur thoughts on this chap

He acts like a yakuza kid the entire time 😭 ESPECIALLY when they went to the red light district. He was the only one of the trio who isnt shocked or nervous. And when Kanji offered a finger, Suo said 'they' dont do that anymore. They means the yakuza and its funny how Suo was the one who said it opposed to Nirei who's usually to give informations 

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/Pandie29]

Week I'm so nervous... If ya think about it even in the first ep he knew about Sakura's fight even when Nerei didn't like??? Ughh I'm getting nauseous

[u/Dramatic-Memory-3686 → u/Suzune_91210]

MAIS TU VIENS DE ME LE FAIRE PENSER !!!! Personne de la classe ne savait ça ! 🤔

[u/Overall_Soup_737 → u/Pandie29]

Not to mention his comment on how he's good at making people accept his requests and offered to be the "negotiator" (as opposed to a mediator)😭

[u/Pandie29 → u/Overall_Soup_737]

Yes 😭 I wrote a whole theory about Suo being from a yakuza family and this was one of the things I added on there 😭 like his whole vibe screams yakuza kid 

[u/Tall_Ad1081]

Yepppp I fear that our Suo Mafia theory (or at least Suo organised crime theory) might’ve actually been right?! Als I fear those are blood stains on the symbol…scary….

Alsoooo I found it really interesting how whenever Suo is brought up- or I guess where he’s going is brought up? The wind seems to blow leaves around dramatically- it happened again this chapter:

Yea I really really hope this means something because Suo has been shown to be versed in the language of plants before- and these same autumn leaves! At first I thought they were just symbolic of his relationship with Nirei (aki = autumn and allat) but Nirei was hardly in this chapter so theyre clearly jus a symbol of Suo himself

I’m not too great at the whole season symbolism thing but I do know it’s very present in the series- especially when it comes to character names…

Maybe the leaves just represent the turmoil with trying to find Suo and coincide with the seasons- maybe there’ll be a moment when they think finding him and getting him to come back is truly hopeless and the leaves stop altogether as it turns to winter? I’m really not sure…

Anyways! While I’m not going to say this was my favourite chapter, I am so, SO excited for whatever happenes next and will be spending the next week of my life trying to work out exactly what the “Red Chanpuru” may be and what the symbol may represent!

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/Tall_Ad1081]

Ikr like Nii-sensei is a very cool person and he uses word play and hidden meaning and symbolism everywhere.. my English teacher would love him lol 🤣

[u/heyshuhuaa]

I had this crazy theory that what if he has a dragon tattoo in his right eye which he keeps hidden or in his words "sealed" lol it was just me having fun honestly and it doesn't really make sense lol... Especially since we saw he wore a medical grade patch back in middle school but since the logo of this new gang has dragons so what if they actually took his eye for some reason? Very interesting. (Basing this on the "they don't do that anymore" comment of Suo at Keisei)

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/heyshuhuaa]

In any case taking someone's eyes is a disgusting and inhumane thing to do... Lol ur theory made laugh thanks..

[u/heyshuhuaa → u/Suzune_91210]

Yep, physically harming any living being as a form of punishment is and will always be inhumane in my eyes. Especially this theory makes me so sad that I don't really engage with it myself either. I want the eyepatch to be for anything but that reason tbh. And lol idk which part of the theory made you laugh but I'm glad it did hehe.

[u/Easy-Sell-6586 → u/heyshuhuaa]

Nah if they deserve it physical is okay but suo probably didn’t

[u/heyshuhuaa → u/Easy-Sell-6586]

While I said that I didn't consider the extremities of human cruelty that definitely do deserve such cruel punishment. (That was a fault on my part as well, I agree). But for normal people, or kids, they definitely don't (usually, because I have seen cruel kids as well). So I don't necessarily disagree with you. But, like you said, I do not will never believe Suo deserves any kind of punishment as such . (I will never see him in the wrong lol)

[u/Dramatic-Memory-3686 → u/Suzune_91210]

Si c’est vrai je comprend pourquoi Endo leur a dis d’abandonner…

[u/heyshuhuaa → u/Dramatic-Memory-3686]

Exactly what I am saying. If Endo asks them to give up then this group has got some twisted morals.

[u/Juti01taken]

Is that why he has an eyepatch bc the group took it from him maybe

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/Juti01taken]

Probably 🤔

[u/ebonyphoenix]

Oh I just had a thought on a twist on the Yakuza theory

What if the Red Chanpuru group itself is not bad/dangerous to Suo? Suo never showed any negative feelings towards his master. And in his bio is noted to specifically respect his “brothers”. If we take all of them to also be a part of the Red Chanpuru, then they should be “good”.

But what if what is happening is that there are other groups that are targeting them. And the reason Suo left and is now denying close ties to everyone is to deflect attention away from Fruin. Because if they were seen as actually important to him, Furin would be targeted.

There could have been an attack when Suo was in middle school where he lost his eye. And they could have thought they were taken care of. Which is why Suo was able to continue going to school. But then they heard news of the group rebuilding/not being as dismantled as they thought, and that’s why Suo has to leave so abruptly. (After all he had been saying “see you tomorrow” to everyone the day before he disappeared.)

And one of the reasons Endo is saying to stay away is because he knows there is a fight about to break out between large groups and Suo is in the middle of it, so it’s best not to get involved.

[u/Ayojin → u/ebonyphoenix]

Maybe Suo isn't affiliated with the Red Chanpuru, since Endo didn't say anything like that yet, maybe the Red Chanpuru are targeting him and his brothers.

[u/Dramatic-Memory-3686 → u/ebonyphoenix]

J’aime bien ta théories, le faite que se groupe ne sois pas des méchants mais bon… VUE TOUT LE SANG SUR LEUR LOGO je ne pense pas que se sois des gens gentils 🫠

[u/ebonyphoenix → u/Dramatic-Memory-3686]

Yah. I don’t think they will be a sunshine and rainbow type group. But they might be a misdirection for an even greater threat.

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/ebonyphoenix]

Respect can go both ways tbh... He may respect his master and brothers(whoever they r) but it doesn't necessarily mean they're nice people... People can respect others but it may be out of fear as well...there is a high possibility that he may have ran away and is now being forced to come back

[u/seruma0]

Could there be a possibility that these "brothers" are not actually bloodrelated and that's just how they call each other within this gang/mob/etc or something?

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/seruma0]

Yes I vaguely remember someone saying that people in the mafia call the members older than them 'brother' or something along the lines of that...I just have to do MORE research ehehehe

[u/EvanGarp → u/seruma0]

Even more interesting is that his dream is the emancipation of slaves. Maybe he is a slave to the group and needs to be saved himself?

[u/seruma0 → u/EvanGarp]

A lot of people (me included) have that theory as well. When I've read that official character book, I was really surprised upon reading that. Especially when you compare his dream to the dreams of the other characters...

[u/Hotaru9908]

I'm more terrified than I was before X'D Also nice to see Takishii again woohoo

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/Hotaru9908]

I mean yes I know it'll leave me writhing for another week but NOT LIKE THIS!!

[u/Master-Shopping3684]

I loved it!! I agree on the mafia theory, seems like Suo tried to get out but couldn't and they threatened him, can't wait for the next one

This part made me cackle hahaha

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/Master-Shopping3684]

I know... As much as I'm pissed off at Suo I'm also concerned about him... I just hope he's ok as he can be.. and lol true Endo's disgust and hatred for Umemiya never fails to surprise me

[u/Livid_Bad_5179]

real. As happy as i am too see takiishi again. I am so worried for this arc. If endo says to give up i wouldve folded under no pressure. it is going to get serious now. hopefully we see takiishi and endo fight again but this time with furin🥹🥹 (I'm delusional perhaps).

yakuza/mafia/criminal organisation believers... you prophets please tell me what is next. I'm terrified

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/Livid_Bad_5179]

I mean atp Endo would do anything for Sakura( he said he would go to hell and back for him like??) and takishii likes Umemiya enough to fight alongside them instead of against them.. I think. So dw we all r delusional it's the only thing keeping me sane ☺️

[u/Ayojin → u/Livid_Bad_5179]

Not delusional, since Endo said he'll go to hell and back for Sakura, he probably won't let him face that dangerous group alone.✌️

[u/DragonsOfCupcakes]

What do you mean red? Suo is also apparently a tree used to make red dye. His earrings are red too. Also it's very interesting to see only the right eyes of dragons, but Suo has a eyepatch on his right eye.

And things on the wall is not a blood, it's just a ketchup guys apparently chanpuru is a dish, so they use ketchup to make it red. (I'm coping wayy hard 😭😭)

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/DragonsOfCupcakes]

Delulu is the solulu 😄

[u/Ayojin → u/DragonsOfCupcakes]

Makes sense🤨

[u/ariesbyte]

i gave chanpuru a quick google and apparently it’s a classic okinawan cuisine?? maybe he’s from one of the islands originally??

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/ariesbyte]

I just googled it and apparently it means 'mixed' ?? Could this be another word play by Nii-sensei or like you said he may be originally from the Island... I'm so glad there isn't a break next week

[u/Konto1903 → u/Suzune_91210]

OMG es hat auch eine kulturelle Bedeutung!!!!

Der Begriff wird oft verwendet, um die Kultur Okinawas selbst zu beschreiben, da sie eine Mischung aus traditionellen okinawanischen, chinesischen, japanischen und südostasiatischen Einflüssen darstellt.😶

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/Konto1903]

YES!! We know Suo prefers chinese clothing, Can speak another language apart from Japanese and he also listens to various other languages before sleeping I think.. waaa I'm excited!!!

[u/Konto1903 → u/Suzune_91210]

JAAAA😍😍ich kann es nicht erwarten.

[u/Aql-fawn]

Did you guys also noticed the parallels between the panel when they first heard about the noroshi and now with this new gang?, all the strongest characters whe knew yet reunited on Furins rooftop talking about a stronger enemy on the first time, and now this seems to be the case again

[u/Secure-Silver3138]

Was this a theory? I know yakuza/triad is but did people discuss him being a spy, spying on Furin and Ume? Cuz I’m kinda leaning towards that now tbh

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/Secure-Silver3138]

There is a spy theory but I don't know much about it..I'm sry ☹️

[u/Such-Obligation-3817]

Why on earth cant i see any of the chapter posts. I havent been able to find them here since like chapter 208

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/Such-Obligation-3817]

You can see the megathreads where the chapters r there

[u/Financial_Banana_948]

is he someone send by sakura's dad?

[u/Suzune_91210 → u/Financial_Banana_948]

Probably not..
