Hello, Anon! Yes, general students are allowed to wield special artifacts! In fact, it's encouraged that they do.

There are two types of artifacts known to us: special artifacts and common artifacts.

The Man Who Grants Wishes - Chapter 5

Cosmic Connection - Chapter 39

Special artifacts are powerful artifacts that's heavily regulated via a strict licensing system. License lasts for a year and you can choose to either renew it or apply for a different one at the start of every academic year. This licensing system only allow a student to possess one special artifact at a time.

Special artifacts are unique in a way that they kind of choose who gets go wield them. As such, they only functions properly on the hands of their wielder. There are tons of special artifacts in Darkwick's possession so by lending them to students via this licensing system, it's a way for Darkwick to ensure that the special artifacts are maintained regularly in other words they want free labour. 

The Man Who Grants Wishes - Chapter 40

Common artifacts are, as their name suggest, common artifacts that students can bring into their missions in addition to their special artifacts. Unlike special artifacts, common artifacts can be handled by anyone who wields them. Examples include the Skeleton Key and Mesmer Matches.

Do you think it may be related to his stigma, and the specific death he dreamed about is a possible future?

Hello, Anon! Well, the possibility is never zero! After all, some of the possible endings of Deadly in Love (which pretty obviously an allegory for Tokyo Debunker's narrative) involved the Goddess dying.

I think it will be good if she gets one :b, but honestly I expect nothing from the writer..

Hello, Anon! I'll 1000% support it, there's no reason for me to not to? I've always seen MC as her own character instead of simply a vessel players can project themself into so of course I'll be happy if she got treated as such and has moments where she can shine.

I can understand your pessimism, though. Being a joseimuke game in nature, Tokyo Debunker kind of have to balance things if they want to achieve as much profit as possible. They have to balance pandering to people who see MC as her own character VS people who see MC as self insert or people who likes ghoul x MC interactions VS people who likes ghoul x ghoul interactions. They also need to decide on how much screentime she gets because there are fans who think more screentime for MC = less screentime for their favorite boys.

I feel like each ghoul cares about her in their own way, some more obvious than others, so I'd like your opinion on it since I love the way you interpret thing and how you can read their interactions (if that makes any sense lol).

I just love to read anything Toku-centered tbh !

Hello, Anon! Don't worry, your English is fine! If it makes you feel better, English isn't my native language either so there's nothing to feel insecure about. ^^

I'd say I love the interpretation that MC is meant to be the bridge between human and anomalies. She's a human but due to her conditions, she's much closer to anomalies than a regular human. This sense of kinship is probably what makes the ghouls have easier time opening their hearts to her. MC being empathetic and a natural anomaly charmer is also a boost, heheh.

Ghouls are feared for the reason that they hold immense power and they got ostracized further after the events leading to the Clash. This is where MC will play a big role. Remember how back in the immortal anomaly case MC was the one who begged the general students to listen to Yuri and plead Yuri to humble himself to ask for their help? I feel like that's supposed to be her "real task" at Darkwick. MC understands humans' fear for anomalies but she also know just how unfair ghouls are treated for simply being an anomaly. It's a bit unfortunate we don't get more scenes like that later. 😔

idk if its a side effect of the sage ring, or if our toku is just that special <3

Hello, Anon! Well, Towa said MC is special so I guess that's how it is!

Joking aside, it might be that the tree can choose who is allowed to see it and they just happened to pick Towa and MC. Why? No one knows for sure, for now.

It's when Elias tells Toku "To avoid this fate (referring to the tragedy, i think), you needed to know the truth". Do you think that it implies that Toku is the champion, since she is kind of "linked" to the prophecy, in a way (since her knowing the truth could prevent the tragedy from happening according to Elias)?

I've been thinking, but I feel like the "truth" is so broad. Do you think it refers to her curse, the clash, the prophecy?

Hello, Anon! Honestly, I'm just as lost as you are. Elias's words were so ominous and as we are now, we don't have much on our hands to go by.

Yeah, a lot of things hint that the "Champion" in the kudan prophecy isn't necessarily the ghouls but can also refer to MC. Maybe it's both. There are many possible interpretations.

For me, I feel like it shows that Toku wasn't cursed at random, and that it was intentionnal for the victim to be her specifically.

Sorry for my english, and thanks!

Hello, Anon! Honestly it's quite hard to say for now. I'm with you on thinking that MC wasn't just an unlucky victim and that she was specifically targeted but, "Why?" is still a big mystery. There are too many unknown variables. For now we only had to be patient and step forward little by little.

What if Shion dislikes being shown concern because it reminds him of Haru?

You know how Haru can be fussy... And I can imagine that being a big factor on why Towa is so attached to him (Shion too in the past).

Sympathizers: Frostheim (Leader), Clementia

Dissidents: Ultio (Leader), Vagastrom, Hotarubi, Mortkranken

Neutral: Obscuary

Too lazy to check on Episode 2 again to confirm but here's from Leo's Affinity 6 chats:

In Season 2, we found out that Frostheimers aren't allowed to be buddy-buddy with Dionysia either which implies that Dionysia might be more Dissident-aligned?

Or is this ban is less about Sympathizer-Dissident and more about not allowing Frostheimers from interacting with people from houses that might threaten Frostheim's position in Darkwick? Because we all know how big of a difference it is when Dionysia is reinstated VS when it's not.
