Sure, in some cases, talking alone is really not enough to solve some things. However, talking no jutsu did solve many relationship problems and yes, it can be just like that.
…..
You lots need to realize that yes in some cases, people need more than just talking to overcome their own hurdles. But honestly, for the majority of cases, they just need someone to talk to or hell, someone who cares.
I think these two points are woefully undersold by a lot of commenters here. I genuinely don’t feel like this conclusion was rushed because I feel like this is all a long time coming.
Talk-no-Jutsu didn’t just work. It’s super important to understand at this point that the only person Fu-chan believes in and trusts is her dad. So when they come to her with evidence supporting her dad’s ideas and theories, proving his concept is true, she has every single reason to trust it. Because it’s not them she’s trusting, it’s her dad.
The same is true in the reverse. The adults have no reason to believe a bunch of kids suddenly prove time leaping is possible. But he can trust two things: Fu-chan to never lie to him and evidence. His affair child is right there in front of them, they know every dirty detail, they even know the intimate knowledge of what he would put in his suicide note, his filthiest, most honest feelings. Him verifying all of that and Fu actually standing behind two children her age leaves no room for either parent not to believe them.
The MO for development in this story has always been information. Cycling back through days to find out how people tick to get the perfect outcome, edging out hints and clues to the mastermind to draw closer to them, manipulating pieces and people to be working to progress towards this end goal. Clover’s gone. They have all the information. They have all the motives and events that should occur. There’s only the one shot now and they just need to pull the trigger.
Thanks for coming to my TIM talk.
