Stop that, it hurts. She really doesn't like this.

I just can't see Mirage Lynx being Ikuto. Wasn't Mirage Lynx wandering around the academy before Ikuto even came back to Japan? And so far the only people who know that he's back in Japan are Utau and Kuukai. And of course there's also the fact that Yoru went back into Ikuto's heart. There's no way for him to even transform with Yoru anymore. I have some theories about that I'd like to put in another post...

It's possible Rima or Nagihiko reached out to Ikuto to tell him about losing contact with Amu and Tadase. Or maybe Ikuto reached out to Tsukasa himself to figure out what was going on. He knew what the school was called, so someone told him.

Kiriomi is convinced Mirage Lynx is Niya. But how? In chapter 4 Kiriomi claimed Niya could character transform. What if his character transformation gives him the ability to change his appearance? Since he likes fashion and makeup.

But then that just leads to more questions - if he can change his appearance, how did he know what Black Lynx looked like? Why did he choose to look like Ikuto? He coincidentally chose someone Amu and Tadase both knew, before they even came to the academy? What are the chances of that?

One theory I've been tossing around in my head is that perhaps Niya is connected to the Hoshina family in some way. Perhaps a branch family? Souko, Ikuto, and Utau were pretty much abandoned by the Hoshinas when Aruto disappeared and her father died so I wouldn't be surprised if other relatives refused to help them, which is why they could only turn to the Hotoris for help. Or is Niya from Aruto's side of the family? We never heard anything about the other Tsukiyomis either.

Here's my hikaru's shugo chara fan design! (inspired by anime hikaru)

Lil guy's name is Hoshii, he's genie chara inspired by the embryo and it's supposed wish granting abilities. 

chara notes:

I think the Arc Eggs may honestly not be far from that idea on a far larger scale.

This is a middle school. Young children are encouraged to express themselves and chase dreams and believe in themselves, but middle grades are when a LOT of the pressures- both internal and external- really start to ramp up.

All of the other kinds of eggs in this series* have been a metaphorical representation, and the Arc Eggs most definitely follow suit.

The students at Arcana Academy are HANDED eggs because they’ve been GIVEN someone else’s dreams- as starts being apparent in middle grade kids. They are disheartened when they can’t live up to the potential that parents or teachers or otherwise influential figures placed on them, and the dream goes sour.

No wonder there are so many X-Egg reports, and no wonder Amu couldn't cleanse that X-Egg. Her method relies on reminding people what their dreams are in the first place, but if these AREN’T their real dreams and if they don’t know who they’re supposed to be WITHOUT the dream that has been given to them, what is she meant to be convincing them?

This whole storyline of gamifying the act of living out artificial dreams is so bleak, and I'm so excited to see how things play out!

Day 3 : space

Day 3 : space

At first I thought it could be Niya, but after the last chapter, I saw that his silhouette is a little different and looks more like the silhouette of Ikuto and Black Lynx on the cover of the first chapter.

Also, that glow reminds me of the Humpty Lock. I wonder if Ikuto is still in contact with Yoru using the power of the Dumpty Key (or as Tadase in the Future with Kiseki) and can travel among the star as Amu did. If so, I wonder what they will do with that and what the hell is doing here.
