i just really like him

Idk why this frame made me laugh so bad.

the original audience reaction:

well 1. i love these two SOOOOO MUCH AGH but 2. I love that the series relies on information/lackthereof to keep building suspense and tension, rather than like, powering up its characters nonstop. This exchange is so funny but so appropriate considering that they JUST learned what bochu jutsu is (vaguely), they're asking each other because they have no idea if the other group has even heard of it before, and they don't know if this is bochu jutsu bc Toma (and Chobe) are the only people that have actually SEEN it... and even if they asked Toma, he wouldn't know bc he probably has no idea that banging in the woods has a name on this island. also he wouldn't say anything because he's in his vow of silence era. THE GIRLS NEED TO START COMMUNICATING. REAL BAD !

original:

The last image was the first image and only one I meant to make. starting thought (that I don't think I communicated well tbh): "A shot looking up the walls of Troy where Odysseus is dangling Astyanax from the top by his heel, reminiscent of Thetis dipping Achilles, ready to plunge him into his namesake, the river Scamander, brimming with Trojan blood below, while the Achaeans watch in expectation. And the walls are cyclopean, of course!"

you know. standard classicist mental illinois.
