[@ma.2089]

I don’t think she’s lying. I think she genuinely has no clue that Mafuyu is so depressed. She doesn’t even have a before and after comparison with who she was when she was actually happy, vs how she is when she’s just masking. I’m so curious how she’ll react when she learns the truth. That her child has been masking her entire life, all cuz of her. Will she be in denial then? Or maybe she already knows and is already deep in denial…

The actual dialogue and plot of this event are so interesting but let's also talk about the fact that Kanade's clothes in the card image look significantly nicer than what she usually wears. It's just one of those little things that adds so much: she's trying so hard to convince Mafumom that Mafuyu can be around N25 -- that they're not going to be a negative influence on her -- so she dresses up despite being a recluse in the hopes of changing Mafumom's mind

[@munchkinchalateo]

the most disturbing part is that mafayu’s mom doesn’t even realize how horrible she treats mafu. it’s so creepily “natural” and scary

[@ma.2089]

Considering Mafumom has lifeless eyes like Mafuyu when she’s depressed and sees no hope, I wonder if she’s trying to live vicariously through her daughter because she’s depressed with where her life is. Perhaps she wanted to be a doctor, and for some reason she couldn’t do it. Now she’s relying on Mafuyu to give her that satisfaction, since she wants to feel better and doesn’t care how Mafuyu feels about being used

[@asusera]

that’s what i’m thinking too. her obsession with steering mafuyu’s life in the direction she wants makes it seem like she’s making up for her past mistakes using her child, under the guise of “giving you a good life”

[@robonene7611]

nah most asian parents expect from their children to be a doctor, so that's not it ig. bit from what we can actually see, asahina family isn't the richest so maybe thats why mafuyu's parents want her to get well paid job.

[@arop2323]

@@alodiaavaa I agree with you. From my example. I can say that my mom is also an "Asian mother",(although we are Asians) she expects too much, she often chooses difficult and high-paying jobs and criticizes professions that in her opinion are "poor", she reacts for good grades as if this is the order of things, and bullies and mocks verbally for bad grades. In speech, it is toxic, which denies it and so on. She always tells me how she achieved her goal, how she suffered as a child and that I undeservedly live in comfort, of course she does not say so directly, but according to her hints, I understand it that way, they are not happy just because their child is happy. Sometimes I feel like a Mafuyu because of this

The difference between Kanade's reason and Mrs. Asahina's reason as to not letting mafuyu know is wildly different. Kanade doesn't let her know as to not worry her while Mrs. Asahina does it to prevent interfering with Mafuyu's studies. It really shows what they value more

[@uhhahaha]

The way mafuyu's mother speaks makes me think that she actually believes what she does is right, so perhaps she herself was treated the same way by her parents. Mayhaps generational trauma opening...

[@ilikeyourcutg5597]

That and that she’s insanely good at manipulation lol. It’s like she genuinely believes what she’s doing is right and she manipulates anyone who is disagrees with her (in this case, kanade) makes perfect sense taking in count how Mafuyu has yet realized how badly shes being treated

[@enanan4]

​@@ilikeyourcutg5597 yh, her manipulation is so good that even i started to think she was being nice to Kanade at the end

[@chrystalmaniac]

I think you're sort of onto something there! Personally, I agree with you in regards to Mafuyu's mom believing she's right, but not in the "this is what i was taught and what is supposed to make everyone happy" way but more in the "i need to invest in Mafuyu's future because that will have the most beneficial outcome". Mafuyu's mother doesn't see her as a person, an individual, but as an asset. Not just a trophy to show off, but something to invest in that will generate profit and social status. Re: the generational trauma, i think Niigo's story as a whole can also be viewed as an attempt to bring the detrimental flaws of Japan's "work till you literally die" culture to light and criticize it from the perspective of the people that suffer under it the most: future workers, aka children. I believe that besides being literally the scum of the Earth, Mafuyu's mother can also stand for the system as a whole to try and make the whole concept less abstract. Mafuyu's mom's generational trauma in this case would then just be the accumulation of decades of these torturous working conditions condensed into a single character, which conveniently brings me back to my headcanon that she represents a much larger thing.

[@tuunaa]

That's what I thought too. Generational trauma train baby, it's passed all the way down and mafuyu's holding the baton

[@Error-gz3pp]

The way she’s written, it’s genuinely difficult to tell. A lot of her dialogues with Mafuyu are incredibly manipulative and the words are so cherry-picked that it’s difficult to think of it as anything other than deliberate. At the same time, when she has dialogue with non-Mafuyu characters it’s like she’s convincing them (and the audience by proxy) that she really does want only the best for Mafuyu. It’s difficult to tell whether she’s convincing us or she genuinely thinks she’s in the right at that point.

[@corn4118]

you know what? i’m starting to think that her mom not only wants mafuyu to be the “happiest child in the world,” but i think she wants mafuyu to achieve great accomplishments and be a perfect child so that SHE can congratulate herself as a parent. like in a matter of “my child is sooo smart and perfect, i’m such a great mom to have raised her like this.” but i also like to think that it’s something about generational trauma

[@HA1SH0]

As much as I’m not used to commenting on videos, this WHOLE clip of Kanade confronting Mafuyu's Mother is SO SHOWING of her character. Even when saying goodbye to each other, she says: "Let's keep it a secret between us that we met today, we shouldn't let Mafuyu know." Which, her reasoning for that is "Interfere with Mafuyu's studies" once again, while Kanade's is "I don't want to worry her more than enough." That is a nice detail, but also such a fucked up one. Another one is how she manipulates niigo members (not just her daughter). With Kanade, for her it's really tough to be interacting with Mafuyu's Mother since her own passed away long time ago, and yet she can tell that it's different. And her saying of: " you should think carefully about your future, so that you won’t regret it." She said the EXACT same thing to Mafuyu, but in her context its cuz her mother is overworking her while saying it's for her own "good", and she made Mafuyu believe that if she'll "fail" the future that her mother prepared she will "regret that". And since it's her friend she might have thought that it would work the same for Kanade. And just as I said before, the fact that for the sake of Mafuyu's protection niigo members (those who communicated with her) had to do things that could be considered selfless and the ones they are uncomfortable with. As I said, with Kanade it's the fact that she has to look at how her mother treating Mafuyu, while her mother is long gone, and understanding how different both of them are. In one other event (I forgot which one it was) Ena had to talk to her through the phone. And for the sake of Mafuyu's protection she brought up her father's name, which she is fairly uncomfortable with, because of his words she began being unconfident with herself and started to seek approval on the unhealthy amount. And she did all that, just so her mother wouldn't bother her for just a NIGHT. It makes me wonder, how would things be for Mizuki and what would happen then? Either way, KANADE LETS GO. The way she just without almost any hesitation said "I just cannot believe you" and "You're not really thinking about Mafuyu." YES CONFRONT HER, BEAT THAT ASS. (Sorry for a whole rant, but MAN this event is such a gem, i adore Kanade!)

[@HA1SH0]

forgot to add up to this, but i just thought about one another thing from this clip. The moment when she says "I thought that you truly cared about Mafuyu" Not just in general it is a very horrible thing to say, but is super manipulative, because in the main story Kanade was saying about how she doesn't want Mafuyu to disappear (which is true, but it could have easily considered selfish from Mafuyu's point of view), then in Carnation event she confronted herself on this. I don't recall the exact phrase, but it was something along the lines: "How do I want Mafuyu to feel? I don’t want her to disappear? That is just my ego talking, because it would hurt me if that were to happen to her "…I want her to smile" She is genuinely cares about her and doesn't want to come across as selfish or manipulative, and Mafuyu's mother uses this phrase to her advantage, to make her feel unsure of it. Damn this woman is messed up.

This reminds me of a play that I read recently: A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen. Although the story is different (it's about a housewife who slowly realizes her husband does not love her as a person, but rather as a doll that he owns and can dress up), the themes are very similar. I realized this from the line that Mafuyu's mom said to Kanade near the end, when she tells her she should think carefully about her future so that she doesn't regret it. It reminded me of when, in A Doll's House, the husband saw his wife's friend knitting and told her that she should take up embroidery as a hobby instead. He said this because he believes embroidery is a much more graceful hobby than knitting, and he tries to influence her into being a "pretty perfect woman" like his wife. Maybe that's what Mafuyu's mom was doing as well, trying to influence Kanade into being a girl who values studying like Mafuyu does because she thinks music won't be beneficial in the long run. Perhaps it's also an effort to make Kanade rethink and tell Mafuyu to focus on her studies? Idk lol. This doesn't really reveal much about the story, I just wanted to say what was on my mind. I love how much was revealed here, and I can't wait for the next key event. Thank you so much for the translation!

something i kinda like here is how in the scene with kanade's card, the lighting and overall mood feels incredibly cold. and the default background is filled with warm earth tones. i know it's unlikely to have been a conscious decision (at least on the end of the non-card), but i think it reflects how the asahina household is pretty well. in the background used for the scene, as well as in how mafuyu's mom is in general, you can see how it all puts on a warm exterior, yet when you actually listen to what is being said, you can understand just how messed up the situation really is. kanade's card is incredibly cold and filled with blues and grays. the lighting falls from behind her and the perspective makes everything feel incredibly uncomfortable. it fits with the dialogue. kanade is esentially telling mafuyu's mother that she doesn't care for her child's needs. but well. it is true. it was needed to be said. the thoughts behind those words, however, are nothing but full of selflessness and care for mafuyu's well being. just food for thought i suppose this event looks really good tho im so excited to read it when i finally have the time and a full translation comes out

[@ferryrichard2739]

"it is my wish to make her the happiest child in the world" gotta be the biggest lie i've ever heard in my entire life

[@yourlocalbuddyhere289]

Why does Mafuyu mom’s sprite always dislocating her shoulder while she was speaking??? (I hope her shoulders actually dislocate) Also, this witch is even creepier with voice and 2d model than I thought…

[@_eiilise]

I love how kanade confronts mafuyu's mom but one day I really wanna see how would it be if the whole niigo confronts her

[@ruikasasfixer]

W kanade for standing up to mafuyus mom

[@2DKAPS]

GOD this writing does an incredible job at making me super pissed off at mafuyu's mom all the sarcasm in her dialogue to try and pass it off to kanade as "mother knows best", only referring to mafuyu as "my child" to treat her as some sort of trophy after controlling her future, and then shooting at kanade with the ultra-sarcastic "you should think more about your future" to try and rub it in/bring her down, it's such amazing writing it makes me want to strangle mafumom

[@shinisnotonfire]

god that woman genuinely gives me the creeps. there's something about her expressions and the way she speaks... welp, they sure did an amazing job conveying the atmosphere

[@PrismaticSekai]

“It’s my wish to make her the happiest child in the world” SHE WANTS TO DIE BECAUSE OF YOU

Srsly though didn't think this event would make me hate her more than I already do I hope in the future the witch doesn't get redemption or atonement with how much damage she caused to her daughter GO KANADE ROOTING FOR YOU QUEEN!!!

[@AnneNicole-eo9vp]

I mean she's a manipulative character, is that really surprising? Why does everybody act dumb and stupid when it's already obvious 💀 also am I the only one who likes mafuyus mom- I typically just like evil characters/villains more bec there cool there merciful they don't give a shit about mercy and etc not some goody too shoes 😒

"It's my wish to make her the happiest child in the world" Funniest joke I have heard ALL week

[@thefarawayfriend5504]

kanade knows what she did to mafuyu and what she’s very clearly trying to do to her as well.

[@someoneelseee_]

Damn Mafuyu's Mom looks intimidating

[@monsoiire]

and this ladies and gentlemen, is why kanade is my favorite 25-ji member.

[@xiuna6916]

"it's my wish to make her the happiest child in the world" **kimi wa dekinai ko by kikuo blasts on the background**

[@NaviNeku24]

Can we talk about how kind Kanade is???? She looked after Mafuyu’s true feelings, caused Ena’s change in perspective towards her art, is a dear friend to Mizuki, and she actively tries to better herself for the sake of others (exercising to be in better shape to make music, tries to help Honami when she is able). This moment was the first time we’ve seen Kanade genuinely angry about something, which speaks volumes about her character. That’s why I love this event. Kanade’s anger, while quiet, is huge. It’s always the quiet ones you have to look out for.

[@AnneNicole-eo9vp]

Kind? That's the only thing u can come up with 💀 also kanade is being selfish, she wants to change enas perspective, trys to help mafuyu like girl mafuyu already is depressed and emotionless how the hell do u think u can convince mafuyu 💀💀 I just find it funny people like someone that changes a person even when that person doesn't wanna change nor they keep saying leave me alone and proceeds to annoy her 💀

[@user104oeueiw]

bruh i hate how i heard these words before (mafuyus moms words)

[@conyugederiki]

kakande is a cutie i love her so so much😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@madamadadane7989]

It takes a lot of bravery to do what Kanade did and she did it without hesitation for Mafuyu’s sake. Their relationship is so sweet and unconditional it makes me emotional.

[@nakimushi11]

I'm liking this slow development of freeing Mafuyu from her prison. Her mom is the final boss of Project Sekai confirmed

[@AnneNicole-eo9vp]

Wdym freeing- u think there ganna help mafuyu how the hell are they ganna do that 💀💀

[@PurrloinQueen]

GOD I LOVE KANADE SHE HAS SO MUCH COMPASSION FOR MAFUYU

[@wongxinyenmoe3909]

the fact that mafuyu's mom said: those at home would be worried BRO.

[@giornogiovanna6858]

that woman's every single word feel like gaslight

[@Madtackron]

5:05 I love kanade looking at her like “tf do you mean by that”

[@Ema-no9bx]

I sensed so much darkness☻ from that woman and I rooting for Kanade and rest of the 25-ji to be Mafuyu's light🌟.

[@AnneNicole-eo9vp]

Ofc u would root for the goody too shoes

[@nothing3636]

Ma'am wants to make Mafuyu happy by manipulating her into studying nonstop and throwing away her hobbies and even emotions 😭 Leave this job to the rest of N25 rn you ain't needed Also, thank you so much for the translations

[@nothing3636]

Also also, Mafuyu's mom tries her best to manipulated Kanade by saying she will regret making music. Ma'am didn't know even Kanade's parents encourage her taking that path and composing music to save people's live. And it's the purpose why Kanade making music at the first place. Her words of manipulating might work for Mafuyu as she's her child, but not for Kanade. And I love Kanade's parents a lot more rn 😭 so sad that her mom died and her dad went to coma, they deserved to be alive more than the old purple bitch

[@Senaige]

SLAYYYY KANADEEE

[@clovest3rz]

I love this event so much. It’s where most characters stand up for Mafuyu finally. Especially Kaito, he gets to the point, and he might shocked everyone for it, but I love Kaito for that.

[@flapflapflapflap]

Ms Asahina reminds me of Rapunzel's so-called mother ngl

[@VickyMC3]

MAFUYUS MOM LOOKS SCARY 😭😭😭 and I think this event is going to make me cry 😭😭😭

[@Mandarinanan]

"It's my wish to make her the happiest child in the world" It may seem crazy what i'm 'bout to say…

[@sugar42380]

KANADE YESSS!!!!!!!!!!‼️‼️‼️

[@kanned-mei]

Imma rant real quick as someone with a similar familial relationship as Mafuyu, so uhhhhhh I dunno if many other people have experienced this kind of relationship- where empty 'wishes' from the guardian figures are obviously contradicted by their actions. Sometimes, parents/guardian figures get so wrapped into doing something (like working or getting grades for the betterment of the child's future/life) that they forget why they're doing it. Or even when they're just lowkey manipulative and do a lot of terrible things while ultimately still caring a little bit (although to a questionable degree) about their child. It's confusing, and I still try to understand the opposing party since they can't be all bad, but media like this makes it so clear-cut that- regardless of intent- the impact and influence is important and notable. As someone with experience with a nearly entire family relationship like this, it's so hard for me to just say that my feelings matter when I'm always put down and told that they're doing what's 'best for me', even by people watching from an outside perspective. I get Mafuyu's struggle, just in a different way where I recognize it as an issue but don't do too much about it because of the power my family has over me & the low self-esteem I have that makes it difficult to fight for myself without seeming narcissistic or incorrect. I don't even got many friends to tell me "She seemed so different from what you've told me!" since I just don't have friends anymore (let alone anyone to reassure me). I hope Mafuyu's story helps a lot of people, not just minors, tackle this issue. Even if it's hard due to the power and control the opposing party has over you, even if you don't have anyone to reassure your feelings are 'valid', it's worth fighting for the possibility of a happier life.

[@dumdumjhansen]

off topic:i think the reason mafuyu's mom has no 2d sprite until now is because of point of view maybe mafuyu wants to avoid looking at her mom since it pains her
