PRAISE THE LORDT MY HUSBAND CAME HOME!!!! Good luck to everyone pulling for Taiga!! 😻🫶🏼

A continuation of my previous post with Taiga’s question to MC and also a reply to @themostlovelyandlonelyboy because I have a lot to say and I had the same thought!

——————————

If Taiga remembers previous loops/timelines, that would explain why he often acts like he knows more than he's willing (or able) to say. What I find interesting is that Taiga constantly asks MC questions instead of telling her things.

He asks if she wants to live, asks what she thinks, asks what he should do, and even asks if she has a man. If he really does remember previous loops/ timelines, those questions almost feel like he's checking whether this timeline is different from the last one. Is she making different choices? Does she remember anything? Has the future changed? That would also explain all of his pauses ("…"). It's like he's weighing how much he can say without changing something or because he already knows what happens if he says too much.

At the same time, I don't think Taiga is completely hopeless. He's cynical, yes, but he keeps trying. If he'd truly given up, I don't think he'd bother protecting MC over and over again or asking for her input. The fact that he continues to involve her tells me that, despite everything he's seen, some part of him still believes this timeline could be different. That's actually why his affinity 25 line stands out to me: "You're not getting away from me, kitten. You're here till death do us part."

If he has watched MC die countless times, that line becomes heartbreaking. It stops sounding like simple possessiveness and starts sounding like someone who's desperately clinging to the one person he keeps losing.

It would also make his earlier "It doesn't matter, everything's screwed anyway" make more sense. Maybe that's not him saying love is pointless, maybe it's someone who's seen tragedy happen so many times that he doesn't want to let himself hope. Yet despite saying that, he still grows attached to MC.

I also agree that the loop or timeline we play probably isn't the first one. There are too many moments where Taiga reacts as if he's expecting something before it happens, or already knows how certain events play out. Whether that's because of his foresight alone or because he remembers previous timelines is still a mystery, but both possibilities fit his behavior well. If the time-loop/different timelines is 100% confirmed, then MC is the one variable that finally changes the future.

It would fit Taiga's arc if, after countless failed timelines, this is the one where someone finally believes him and that's what breaks the cycle. If it turns out to be true... then his Affinity 25 line: "You're here till death do us part." becomes even more heartbreaking. It wouldn't just be a possessive line but it would be someone who's finally found a timeline where he refuses to let MC go.

It's a little long so brace yourself

First off whew this part! I TRULY DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN but let’s start here. Sho I love you, but listen to Taiga the GROWN UPS ARE SPEAKING 🤣 The way his voice dropped when he said shut your mouth brat… MY MOUTH IS SHUT TOO I am listening!!

That look in his eyes lawd jesus take the wheel cause 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Also let me point out Taiga was NOT playing this chapter and was calling everyone out!! SHOTS FIRED!

Some examples of Taiga not playing today🗣️🗣️ Also even without Taiga, I found a lot of things that Haku and Elias did SUS af. That is a whole bag of worms to dive into, but even stuff Elias was doing THIS chapter was sus. Like him telling Alan “Oh I accidentally looked at the eye tee hee” NO YOU DIDNT DAWG. You may look hot Elias, but you’re still the sus janitor… 👁️👁️

Also some snippets from the dinning room scene and yall the SCREAMMMM I MFN SCRUMPT when Taiga said you got a man like duh dummy it’s you *tucks hair behind ear* 😂💁🏻‍♀️ Which led up to

**SCREECHING & HYPERVENTILATING INTO A PAPER BAG**

- Here lies Usagi Hoshibami who died of a heart attack R.I.P 🕊️🪦

Also he’s so funny he ate the mfn spoon 🥄 BUT HOW DARE HE LOOK THIS MFN FINE *Calling 911 AGAIN to report a crime* 🫩🙄 I know they are so over me callin them…

Next I wanna get into the good LORE FINALLY

**STIGMA REVEAL**

Which I knew it! I was never crazy the devs just needed to confirm MY THOTS

Okay lots to unpack here cause Taiga has used “Malab” on these past accounts from what we have been shown.

1st time: When MC first encountered Kyklos and Taiga on the train. After he smashed his head on the window (crazy fucker I love him) he used the glass as ammo

2nd time: The second encounter with Kyklos during the Who Killed Robin Act II on the train.

3rd time: When Taiga and Ritsu were together in Romeo’s office. Taiga broke the mermaid statue and maybe he saw a future where Romi would be safer stuck down there versus the apocalypse that was unfolding outside lol😫

4th time: Boom bow this episode right here

P.S If i’m missing any let me know, but I think it was just these.

Present time. Darkwick said he had to keep it a secret, but when Taiga said he tried to tell someone they didn’t believe him. I’m guessing Romi, old captain, or maybe (it’s a stretch) Mio cause it did say they were friends. Also he said he can tell how far and how long depending on he’s feeling. He used it TWICE in this setting and he said his head was starting to fuck with him. MY POOR BABY😭🥺 Anyways he initially told MC 666 then used Maleb and stated that it changed which HELLO TIME LOOP THEORY confirmed for me. To me this means in a previous timeline it was 666 then used maleb and it changed to 616 this time.

Also since it fucks with his head why he’s always tired, hungry, forgetful his mind is literally a goldfish at times probably a side effect of using it to much? Just think of the SILENT BATTLE this man has been fighting on his own, nobody believing him, previous years of trying to stop bad endings…. *SOBBING* I’m hurting my own heart right now I’m sorry 😭

HELLO MVP OF THE CHAPTER RIGHT HEREEEEEE. When I tell yall in Taiga we trust🗣️🗣️🗣️ People are always like why is he always shooting stuff and laying around blah blah blah. HE HAD A PLAN he always does. This explains why Ritsu could never find him, Taiga was on straight DEMON TIME defeating the guard dogs. He kept his streak until he had over SIX BILLION POINTS. He destroyed the camera so the game master couldn’t see him racking up. Hello if he wanted to he would typa man😻

Also let me note Elias backing up Taiga without even having to communicate about it, I see you👏🏼 Ritsu thank you for always having your audio recording and tripping up the Game master. Alan thank for bashing and whooping all the anomalies butts. Haku… you helped Alan and Sho thanks for cooking you lil green flag husband😹 Everyone did different things to outsmart the game.

*PASSES THE FUCK OUT* I can’t breathe…..

His gaze, that look, THE LOOK, EVERYTHING!! I’m… I-

I’m sat.. in his lap.. I … 😫😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 I can’t even form sentences properly to even express…

*SOBS* 😭 my husband I’ll kill you for being this FINE XD

*Edit* okay i’m back with poor edits cause I couldn’t help myself I crashed tf out. Being silly goofy with my mans😭🥹🤣😂🤸🏻‍♀️ I made discord stickers outta them 🤧
