No but in the arc where we find out about the clock keepers and nene’s lifespan(I forgot what it was called) it is stated that the clock keepers abilities do not work as effectively on supernaturals. What does this mean. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN.
I feel that it would be dissappointing if shijima/mitsuba was actually alive and their mystery selves don’t exist at all in this present, period. With no memories coming back to them. Or anything, really.
Aidalro what are the ramifications of this I am in your walls
Aidalro tell me
I'd like to add that maybe tsukasa merged with the house like mitsuba merging with the 3rd mystery— we've seen tsukasa ya know.. Cause mitsuba to uhh replace the 3rd mystery by devouring it technically, so maybe the same happened or fake tsukasa knows how to merge them
So, theory time. This focuses a lot on events that have been animated, a.k.a season 1, if more information for it, either to confirm or deny it, appear I might expand it but honestly, it's not that big of a theory and most likely not accurate but it has been occupying my mind. Plus, I don't think it'll ever get touched upon. Also, if someone has said this, I have not seen it anywhere.
So, let me start!

A Yugi twins plus Minamoto family theory, I call it "Trapped". And it's based on three panels.

Chapter 3 in the manga, when Kou was first introduced...

Chapter 17 in the manga, right after Tsukasa was introduced...
How do these two fit? Well, it's what they say in these panels that made me think.
You see, when Kou was introduced and said his grandma trapped Hanako. At first I thought "oh, so like trapped him to the toilet?" But then this little extra panel exists...

Yes, Yashiro asks why he's called 'Hanako-san' but it's still referring to him being to the girl's bathrooms. So, with this, he's not trapped to the toilet, maybe he is by the rumors but he was not trapped by the Minamoto grandma.
But where does Tsukasa fit? Well, he said, after being introduced, for the first time on the roof, "I can't move too well".
Why can't he move well? Was he, perhaps, trapped? Trapped by the Minamoto grandma? But then, Kou described Hanako, so why would it be Tsukasa?
They look extremely alike. Except for the sticker (and maybe the teeth), they look the same. You can say the clothes are different but it's not like Tsukasa hasn't dressed like his brother before. Literally was introduced with Hanako's clothing.
So, what if, somehow, he learned that Hanako was being "hunted" and took his place? He wouldn't even need to do much, just dress like him, maybe have a kitchen knife with him, though not necessary, and pretend to be him.
The Minamoto family could have just heard of Hanako-san rumors or bc of who they are, they did their research, bases like name, weapon, maybe abilities. Since the wonders are supposed to be murders, it would be assumed, right off the bat that they have killed.
Everything could be said and be accurate about Hanako and yet the one that got trapped could have been Tsukasa.
Another and final panel would be this...

Chapter 20 in the manga, second time Tsukasa and Hanako see each other...
Hanako could have very well avoided Tsukasa for 10, 20, maybe even 30 years. Meaning, it could be 100% possible that Tsukasa was the one trapped but of course, it's not like he would say it.
Or Hanako was simply trapped for a bit and that was it. I don't know. My brain likes to think things that might not make any sense or be true.
I'll take my leave...
Bye! 🙈
What a fascinating thing it is to re-read something.
A while back, I had a theory about Kou and Yashiro messing with the timeline. More specifically, putting in motion the events of the yugi twins lives. That was back in December 2021, and I never ended up posting that theory. (it's still in my drafts)

The reason I'm bringing it up is because of recent events in the manga and a little theory of what the clock keepers changed.
Spoilers
It's fairly obvious that Hanako or Amane, more precisely, never killed Tsukasa, meaning that the 4 years old Tsukasa that Kou and Yashiro met in the red house never went back.
If it hasn't clicked yet...
I think the clock keepers changed a present type of event rather than a past one. Since Tsukasa in the new present still seems to be possessed and Amane lived beyond his 13 years old self (and got possessed as well wtf), it means that they never changed the event of Amane killing Tsukasa because it never happened. No, they changed Kou and Yashiro ever meeting toddler Tsukasa in the red house.

Tsukasa returned because Kou told him that Amane died at 13 and killed him as well. If the event of Yashiro and Kou going in the house had never happened in the first place, then the young boy would never go back. And in the new present, he didn't. Something else is going on with the both of them [Tsukasa, Amane] this time around, sure, but I do believe that at least one of the core things the clock keepers changed was that meeting in the red house.


Don't think I'm the first one to point this out. I just have a wack timing for it since I keep these things to myself.
