Hellooo helloooooo long time no see, how are you???!!! T_T Sorry for the late response, but I'm happy to see you back here!

First off, congratulations on seeing the movie! I'm envious xD Everyone who's watched it says it was a fantastic experience - I hope you had a good time too :3

As for your question... hmm, thinking about it, whether or not Aruani get together immediately after the rumbling, Mr. Leonhardt would figure it out on Fort Salta lol xD Those sad, longing gazes aren't fooling anybody.

I have a love-hate relationship with... Mr. Leonhardt's relationship with Aruani tbh. I don't believe he's the type to interfere outright. I don't think he'd "dislike" it per se. But I also don't think he'd like it, y'know? He hasn't seen his daughter in years and the person he thinks she is, she now very much isn't. For all of Armin's brave show of stopping Muller from shooting at the Eldians on Fort Salta, I can't somehow see Mr. Leonhardt as being convinced with Armin's outlook of the world. There's a reason Annie's very harshly realistic with her worldviews and while she may have softened up in the company of people who care about her, Mr. Leonhardt isn't an easy nut to crack.

I like to think he worries Annie will be letting her guard down around Armin and the others (RIP he doesn't know she already has) and for this reason he sometimes talks derogatorily of the Paradisian boys. There's some fear here, of potentially losing his daughter to strangers he doesn't want to trust, and all the more so because she's still the only one he has. There's some fear also, in watching his daughter smile and laugh and play with the others, displaying parts of her he wasn't aware even existed - and so coming to terms with the fact that the tough girl he raised is not who Annie is, is going to be a hard thing to accept, if ever.

TLDR, it's very complicated, but from a VBEOW perspective I am quite enjoying exploring Annie's relationship with her father!

My brain can finally compute something other than shitposting so here’s a still slightly incoherent collection of theories I’ve seen/come up with and my personal thoughts on them. I literally just woke up so expect this to be all over the place.

Shinki theory-

Hiyori becomes Yato’s shinki… personally I do not like this idea. There’s too many dangers with the gods secret. Too many people from the far shore know her living name and it would bring up too many thoughts amongst the other shinki about how they died. For me it just doesn’t make sense and feels like the worst case scenario

Soul call theory-

This is actually my own personal theory that I’ve had for months cause I suspected something like this might happen. Like Trashdad Hiyoris soul ends up in Yomi and she has to be soul called out. Trashdad returned to his physical body the first time he was soul called out of Yomi so we know it’s possible.

Down sides of this is 1. Only a human with ties can perform a soul call 2. Amaterasu would not approve

First ones pretty easy to fix, Yuka now has ties to Hiyori so she would probably be the closest person that could do it or if they wanted someone already aware of the far shore there’s Masaomi

As for Amaterasu the only way I see her being dealt with is with the trial by pledge which frankly I kinda see that being brought up again regardless of what happens with Hiyori. For me soul call theory is the second best case scenario.

Illusion theory-

This is the theory that I am choosing to believe and is the best case scenario for me. First pointed out by some folks over on discord and I’ve seen a few people in the tag’s talking about it.

It’s all part of Trashdads illusion. The same way Yato being a child and Yukine being a dog is an illusion. Trashdad just manifested an illusion of her dying to try and break Yato’s spirit.

Hiyori seemed way too helpless and damsel in distress like. She’s a fighter through and through and yeah I know she’s worn down and tired but it just didn’t feel like her. Plus she didn’t even question that Yato was a child. The vibes were off.

I also saw pointed out that when Trashdad grabbed Hiyoris tail it wasn’t torn until he ripped it

It’s possible he just grabbed it higher up than where the original tear was but it’s still worth noting. Also her tail was standing up on its own instead of hanging limp like it was before.

Once Yato kills Trashdad the illusion will be broken and Hiyori will be fine and they all will go and live happily ever after together forever and nothing bad will ever happen again :) :) :)

Anyway these are my vibing in denial theories cause I refuse to believe Adachitoka would do my girl dirty like that :)

there was something about how Father framed the narrative, he portrays himself as a victim who suffered from heaven but when you look closely he was also the perpetrator. when he speaks he portrays himself as a victim of heaven we see him crying over Kaya's body but when we get the father's flashback we get the truth.

this panel demonstrated father's main flaw in how his own actions drove Kaya away which led to her death something he had a part in but doesn’t admit. He shifts the blame on the gods for killing her when he himself shares the same blame as driving her away. As someone once pointed out he's unrepentant of his own actions and that is what pushed Kaya away.

so I saw this on twitter but I wanted to make a post about it

people who are saying it was dumb/not well written/etc that trash dad died off 'so quickly'

um

did we read the same manga???

Yato has only been fighting him for the past how many chapters??? and how many pages???? this arc has literally been almost ENTIRELY a physical battle against him
