The Truth Behind Satoshi - Hyouka Episode 21 Analysis

[@quincxy7874]

My favorite moment is at the end when Houtarou decides to eat the chocolate his sister gave him after kicking it previously during the beginning of the episode. It shows he learned from the experience that your own actions can hurt the people you care about. Edit: A little late but I didn’t expect this to get so many likes lmao. Shoutout to anyone that liked this comment as well as watched this video. Hyouka is my favorite anime of all time and it’s nice to see so many people giving it love. Thank you Replay Value for this wonderful series.

[@vinsincere]

Out of all the episodes of Hyouka I love to rewatch, Episode 21 was always a painful, frustrating re-experience but now thanks to you I think I know why. I always loved Satoshi as a character. He just felt so perfect as Oreki's foil, and much like the other characters in Hyouka, he too, is deeply flawed. This episode was indeed the culmination of all the little hints previously teased by the show's last 20 episodes, and the structure of how it all breaks down is simply poetic in nature. That exact reason was why it was so heartwrenching to see him on full display. His uppity facade completely pulled back and see him actively and consciously hurt those close to him is almost unbearable at times, and to top it off, he's aware of the pain he's putting unto others. The mystery is painfully obvious, but we all keep hoping that the assumption we have in our heads is wrong, and simply avert our eyes from the truth, searching for some other reason and putting it off. This episode serves to remind us that maturity is an ongoing process, and seeing that immaturity rise to the surface and hurt those close to us really makes me remember the moral of the episode. I think the reason why it was so difficult to rewatch is because the first time I saw Episode 21, I was painfully, and bitterfully reminded of myself, and how I used to be. Perhaps one viewing was enough for me to understand, but I couldn't put it into words. Replay Value, I can't tell you just how much I love your work. Thank you

[@texposeidon1256]

I loved your comment ❣️ it was so well put 👍

[@MrGabriel1357]

Watching Satoshi struggle after "losing" to Houtaro in the Jumonji quest, watching all of his flaws, is a great reminder of some of the bad points I have in me. I guess, to most people, it reminded of themselves too.

[@saptakthakur2737]

But no 2nd season🙃🙃

[@JustAWellwisher]

I think you've done a good job at detailing everything relevant about this episode that won't need to be brought up later, but one aspect I want to talk about is that Mayaka has been in love with Satoshi since middle school, which means before he's changed his attitude to be less committal towards his interests and be more committal to his interest of being a man of many interests, before he was the database that 'couldn't come to conclusions'. They are childhood friends. She knows who he was, loved who he was and still does love him now... For Mayaka, a classic is a classic when it's written. She knows it exists in the experience of the thing itself. That is the conviction she brings to her feelings about Satoshi. Satoshi on the other hand, has no such convictions about himself. He's worried about what will happen if he proves not to be a 'classic', if he proves not to be the best for her. He's suffering from a type of learned helplessness. That's why Mayaka is great for him. To her he is already a classic and all he has to do is actualize his feelings and tell her his decision. But for now they're stuck in the long winter of their romance.

[@weavorjjohanna5619]

i watched Hyouka when i was like 15, and i was only interested in the art and the episode mystery, but now rewatched it, i realised that, the biggest mystery in Hyouka is the character motive, development, and growth, and the author trying to make us solve that mystery. Not Oreki Hotarou

[@journeymaker4629]

Finally, I get to comprehend Satoshi's mind and action. I've always try to put myself in his shoes of why would he break the 'hearts' of Mayaka. But then I realize it's always not easy to look from other person perspective, because you don't know their full story. He is stagnate in his action, not wanted to say Yes or No, for it may hurt Mayaka in the moment or later. But doing nothing is by itself is also an action which hurt Mayaka, with Chitanda also hit by the collateral damage. My conclusion is, as long we exist in this world, we will hurt others, willingly or not. There is even people who fell disturbed when see us from a distance. But that is what humanity about, a being so complex that can go through any circumstance in front of them, or willing to take a detour just to avoid stepping an ant. This is my second most favorite Hyouka episode in terms of character development. I'm looking forward to my most favorite episode, the final episode.

[@mer9185]

This is easily my favourite episode of the series, and you did it justice like I wouldn't have dreamed of having. Thank you!!!

[@kanajoshi6208]

I've seen Hyouka 5 years ago but I never understood Satoshi's reasoning regarding Mayaka's feelings for him and it frustrated me the entire week. That episode was really painful yet the best lesson I can get from the entire anime itself. I now understand why and I want to cry. I can see myself in Satoshi, happy-go-lucky but is struggling and afraid to take a step even though we have someone who recognize our worth. I love his character so much. I love your analysis, it brings nostalgia from my past self. It may be too late to know the answer but yeah, at least I found it. Gosh I want to rewatch it again 😭

[@adithyadanaj9768]

So di u rewatch it, I am asking cuz I want to rewatch it too now that I have seen this.But I don't know if it would be a good idea since I am similar to both him and oreki in lot of ways and it may make me sad and cry.

[@adamyasingh3713]

But why doesnt Satoshi want to be not obsessed with anything?

[@XAQted17]

Yeah Satoshi is relatable in scary ways..

[@uooo-w4f]

With school papers and requirements piling up, final exams drawing near, I read the title from my notifications and found myself saving this video for later, but somehow ended up watching the whole thing _(twice actually)_ . And again, I'm reminded of how Hyouka can make me feel so much - happy, frustrated, hurt, speechless... a massive unexplainable feeling that manages to creep up on me every single time. Satoshi is my favorite character and that explains why - despite my reason - I went for the play button. And I hate myself for not knowing most of what you've told about him - the imperfect snowball, him and Tani, his immature side showing when he's with Mayaka - and a lot more of the subtleties in this episode. I like him so much but I know I can never explain all these as much as you did. Thank you so much _"He's at a standstill - he doesn't want to go back but he's hesitating about moving forward."_ - probably my favorite line in this video

[@27serser]

Brilliant analysis as always! It was great of you to remind us of Tani and Satoshi's attitude toward him. viewers might ask themselves "so what? what is the big deal if Satoshi becomes a little obsessive?", but since we already know how would Satoshi react to his old self (not interested at all, can barley even remember who he is) we understand why this is a big deal. In the same way Houtarou kicking the chocolate is a big reaction because we know his motto, we understand how not being obsessive is a big deal for Satoshi and how his growth isn't something little or trivial. I waiting for the last episode analysis to rewatch the series with your analysis after each episode, it is amazing how good your videos are.

[@habitablefiction7090]

Loved the Blaze it text at 4:53. That's a nice touch to an already amazing video.

[@CaseNumber00]

During this episode I had to remember throughout the actions of Satoshi, and others as well to some regard, that these characters are freshmen in high school. For a lot of Hyouka, in fact a lot of anime as well, has that perspective that the characters are as smart as adults and have wisdom to match but this episode reminds us, the viewer, that they are not always the smartest and/or are not wise, they are high school students. They are still relatively kids with relatively simple problems but those problem still mean worlds to them. This episode removed us from the fabled rose colored lense we got use to and now on the dark but ever present side of high school life. This whole episode is the trouble of adolescence: Satoshi making hurtful decisions while trying to actualize himself (the entire video), Chitanda and her tunnel vision anger, Miyaka a young women wanting love, and Hotarou being that best friend giving the guided push. I love how the episode calibrated us this episode and showed they are young people still trying to sort out themselves and take a moment away to remove the rose colored lense we often see in anime. That seemed rough but had to write quick, on my way to see Avengers.

[@anurag4813]

I'm at a loss of words and I can't thank you enough for making the whole series about the detailed analysis of Hyouka, considering the fact that Hyouka is one of my favourite shows ever and I connect to it on a personal level. I didn't understand Satoshi's point of view the first time I watched this episode but thanks to your analysis, it's really clear to me now. We all need others to give us a push to the final stage of maturity, and for Satoshi, it was Houtarou. Satoshi's mindset and actions are very much realistic and human, even if we hate what he does. And the beautiful symbolism and execution of Hyouka just magnifies it. Amazing work KyoAni and Replay Value! Love you guys forever!

[@jensashrestha7738]

As frustrated as i was at first knowing what Satoshi did to Mayaka , he turned out to be one of my favorite character in Hyouka by the end of the episode when he gave his reasoning to Oreki. I felt him and connected to him on whole different level as a person who is trying her best to become the best version of herself emotionally and mentally!

[@slvyc]

Hotaru can be very intimidating when he gets mad

[@RaysGaming1]

I just finished Hyouka. Sometimes, I see shows which make me wonder how much a story should make a reader work to understands its meaning. Some great shows shamelessly throw their themes in your face and dare you to think about them, like Gurren Lagann. Some use wordplay and double-meaning to hide it right under the surface, like Monogatari. I used to think that there was no surefire way to bury a meaning in subtext without demanding sheer speculation out of an audience, but Hyouka proved me wrong. The characters in Hyouka are introduced almost as archetypes, a high school club cast we can easily imagine in any other slice of life show. Detail by detail, Hyouka proves our assumptions wrong, our character stereotypes misguided. The Hyouka cast are still funny, interesting, surprising, and lovable-- but by the end of the show, we've found their flaws in those details. They're characters as deep and as flawed as we were willing to notice and deduce. Fitting for a mystery story, isn't it? I love Hyouka, and I think you're doing the world a great service with this video series. Helps all of us detectives unravel everything that this show has to offer.

[@patrickhumphrey3076]

Firstly, this video nearly brought me to tears more than once. Thank you for your beautiful insight. Secondly, I thought I'd share some interesting facts from the short story this episode is adapted from. On the bridge, Satoshi reveals that Mayaka not only realized the truth, but knew it the entire time, even aiding in his conspiracy. Adding to this, the novel is told completely first person, meaning we never get a scene of Mayaka clueing Chitanda in. There is also never a phone conversation between Chitanda and Hotaro, with him even saying at one point that she will probably have a lifelong dislike of the girl from the Astronomy Club. Overall, this is a much darker version of the story. One the other hand, some fun differences are included, such as a very amusing extended interaction with the Astronomy Club. I always personally enjoy seeing the changes that an adaptation makes, especially when it comes to my all time favorite anime. As a side note to this, I hold the unpopular opinion that the dub of Hyouka is vastly superior. One stand out translation is of the "You're good at what you" line. In the dub, Hotaro, brilliantly portrayed by Adam Gibbs, tells Satoshi, "For all your deftness, you're still sloppy." I feel that this version conveys much better the meaning of the statement and the friendship of the two, all in my best boy's signature laid-back style.

[@ppppp754]

This is analysis is so beautiful, it made me go through an array of emotions I experienced watching anime all over again. Satoshi is definitely one of the most human characters in the show and is involved in the most poignant scenes of the show and this analysis articulates his character in the best way I have ever seen. This is honestly incredible, your ability to state the nuances of themes and characters is craaazy. Please keep making these videos!!

[@theannualantagonist5930]

This actually keeps me up at night bro..

[@johnlindsay7301]

Oh man can I relate to this fear of obsession. I have avoided many things that bring joy to me to keep myself at arms length from this unhealthy flaw. I used to write a lot of fiction, short stories, screen plays, even a novel. And I was getting pretty good at it. But I found I’d trap myself with my thoughts of what I was going to write, what my story was about, how to make connections, themes, plots, characterizations, I stewed in my mind all day and shut out the outside world. It was obsessive thought to a damaging degree. And I’ve had this issue with relationships, hobbies, sports and exercise, social media, pretty much anything that’s worth putting time into, I’ll end up obsessing about. And I’ve found the only way to combat it is to avoid these things all together. And I wouldn’t trade it back. As unfortunate as it is, I’m happier being a high school Satoshi than a middle school one. So yeah, this episode hits home. And I fully understand.

[@vikramdelacruz4255]

Thank you for clarifying this even more. Not only that you always comes up with answers that satisfies your viewers but your voice is so satisfying to hear as well.

[@AMXM-do5kw]

1-To my understanding episode 21, Satoshi pretty much say no to Mayaka. 2-To my understanding episode 22, Eroki mysteriously say yes to Rose coloured life. That does mean that he want a future with chitanda. This is confirmed by last phrase in hyouka said by chitanda, "no it is spring" and eroki smile in the end indicate a big #Yes you are right Chitanda I don't want grey life anymore I want to be with you.

Going off of what you said about dyes in people, I think there is more on that in the scene with Oreki and Chitanda walking. Oreki's white jacket represents his grey or colorless life and having that scarf shows that Chitanda is making an impact on him giving him color.

[@animeforlife9741]

I had lived my high school life as rose coloured.I fell in love and got heart break during my university.I again fell in love in university and got heart broken but i am grateful for whatever happened. I gave my time for myself, i began to love myself and i am in the process of self love.Everyday is a happy day in that context as Satoshi said.I am so much into myself now that i donot want to go into past where i should compromise on every little things. Now i am afraid that if i live in relationship, i will become the past me for sure and i dont believe that i can move forward or remain as now.in this process, some time i want to have someone so badly but tge desire lasts only short time. I have hurt many people out there..I have made a barrier infront of me, so that noone can enter. Thats why i can understand how satoshi feels and it resonates with me so much. Lets see what happens in future. Even satoshi can take his own time to build confidence and accept someone(may or may not be ibara is moving forward with other)by accepting himself( not losing to present him).Maybe I can do the same in future, can turn grey colured life into interesting one without losing myself. And I am happy that satoshi and hotarou feels the same way probably.and This anime lies inside my heart as it speaks reality not fairy tail.

[@IvanOrdinary]

I know satoshi is the culprit but i don't know why he did it, it's hard to understand at first and get even more confusing for me thank you because a moment in my life i felt what satoshi's feeling in a situation like that, silently and doing noting but i forget that my action affects people surrounds me. I sympathize with and felt his feeling even more for me that a great thing, knowing what characters feels is my favorite while watching.

This episode was just way too hard to watch, Satoshi was the one that made me watch all of Hyouka, watched it all to see his development and boy im glad in this episode. Hurts me how he got so down when he lost against Oreki on that school festival arc. Can see myself on him saying he wont be best at anything which also hurts so bad man. If only he could've realised that loving someone doesnt mean you have to get obsessed with them. Honestly, his personality is what actually I want to be like, active, has tons of useful hobbies and socially active. He's way too underrated to be honest like people watch this and expect a romcom on oreki and chitanda and actually hate satoshi just cause he made chitanda cry, bro, he did wrong but dont we all? He's so imperfect and also perfect at the same time. People probably didnt understand him till this vid came up.... This episode was lit and so is this video, hoping he gets more love that he deserves and screentime too if season 2 is ever gonna happen

[@signaltome]

I got so angry with Satoshi in this episode when I realized what he had done, I though for sure that Mayaka wastes her time with him. The ending phone call mitigate that SOMEWHAT but it was the realization as I pulled back and knew that it has been a while since I myself went to high school.(or the Norwegian equivalent) that made me give them a second chance. They are NOT grown ups with years of experience, however much they appear that way sometimes. They are all trying to lock in the person they want to be battling with the prerson they currently are. Still, he'd better apologize and lay himself flat, otherwise I can't really respect Satoshi anymore.

[@msjo7513]

Ten years have passed and Hyouka is still one of the best creations ever produced for me personally. Some points I would like to highlight briefly from episode 21 : I really admire the level of trust between Chi and Oreki when he reassures her to leave out the rest of the matter to him so she could calm herself down and go home without getting more entangled in false accusations. It seems one of the reasons Satoshi has been afraid to accept Mayaka's feelings for him is that he realises failure is not an option in case both of them do pursue a more serious relationship as their long friendship would be ruined in case the worst happened. I agree with the comment here that states Oreki can be intimidating when he is furious and I'm sure even Chi would be frightened too if she saw him threatening Satoshi or him raising his voice against Irisu back then channeling his rage. I would assume if Oreki had a child or children, he/she/they would not dare to infuriate him no matter how quiet/calm/peaceful he appears from the outside cause once he snaps, he really means what he says and what he does, not just a bluff. However, I guess Oreki wouldn't want to intimidate or frighten Chi if he were to get angry at her so he would probably disappear somewhere for a while to cool down his nerves in isolation. Chi's heart is way too precious for him to be shattered just because he fails to control his temper at her and it's so obvious that Chi has become his weakness. That's all for now.

[@darklightimages]

Ive re watched this again and again and something that bothers me is that Yeah Mayaka knows what she wants and is going for it but she never once considers Satoshi's feelings? I remember a girl in high school who was the same way as Mayaka with me. She was so pushy with her feelings towards me. It was suffocating I was trying to figure myself out I had a lot going on behind closed doors and someone trying to basically force themselves into my life was. . . Too much. Unlike Satoshi I wasn't good at delaying the answer and I go into the relationship. . . It did a lot of emotional and mental damage to me. I had to pretend to care about a person that I truly didn't know if I even cared about. Yeah Satoshi made a bad choice as well. He is a teenage boy the fact that he is as skilled with his words as he is now is great. This is a great learning point for him. Satoshi needed to learn that his exaction is terrible for emotionally challenging things. I like this episode a lot. Because of how real it is. Now he will mature even further because of it. I just wish Mayaka would learn that while liking someone and being upfront with them is okay. Some thimes you need to think about the other person. The episode shows that both Mayaka and Satoshi are selfish in there own ways, Satoshi can hurt people and Mayaka can be so pushy that she corners people into uncomfortable positions that can lead them to hurt others by "lashing out".
