Kimi wa Yotsuba no Clover - Ch. 42 - Deathday

[hitohito1]

Honestly fuck that guy

 

[kiero13]

I doubt he's the culprit since the culprit has been controlling his sister since their 5th grade.

Its probably another pawn or but I feel like its more of him just literally extending his hand to help and make uichi not suffer anymore... in an unusual way.

This mf better have the best reason why he chose to drive Uichi to Suicide because this mf was helped by Uichi on not being alone as a kid, had attempts to save him from his bullying, and was just straight up kind to him

The thing that confuses me most is that at the end of chapter 36, he says he hates Uichi because he "killed ______" which from everything we've seen so far, I don't think Uichi could be even indirectly related to anyone else's death. So that along with his suspicion of Yotsuha's watch makes me think this guy can also time travel and is getting "revenge" on Uichi for something that happened in another timeline. But at the same time, when Yotsuha tried to ask Uichi about him in the next chapter, he had another panic attack, so that makes me think something really did go down on this timeline and this guy just deluded himself into thinking Uichi is responsible even when he isn't out of jealousy for Uichi's better circumstances at the time like Yae did.

Chapter 36, page 15, there's a panel where the middle school bullies tell Rei that Uichi was on their side the whole time.

Did I miss something why does he think it’s her telling him to die every night?

 

[Msaid08]

So
that's how it happened . ..

Oof, talk about the worst combination of Unfortunate circumstances...poor, POOR Uichi and Yotsuha.

And holy shit, it was the bullied guy??!! HE is the mastermind?!!

But, but why??!! Why would he ruin Uichi's life after he stood up for him against his tormentors??

Thanks for the translation!

I think someone mentioned before but bullying can get worse if there was 1 guy who stand up for you that cant shut them down for good.

Very first chapter, he starts to imagine that but stops quickly. Then Yotsuha herself appears on a time-traveling mission to make his life better, so it never happened again. I imagine in the timeline without Yotsuha, he stopped being able to fight the thoughts and it got to the point we see here, where he can't tell his delusion-Yotsuha from the real one.

I went back to look and I don’t think they meant they literally became friends with uichi I think there saying he’s the one there bullying now. And they don’t say it to rei, it’s something yotsuha over hears. But she does say rei is suspicious

Honestly, I don't think Rei's Clover. That face he made when he looked up Uichi's window, look more like sympathy, sort of? Like, he used to be bullied, so he probably planned to an hero himself before Uichi saved him. He's too scared/weak to help with bullying when it's Uichi's turn, but he could help Uichi end it all? At least that's the vibe I'm getting.

It's 100% meant to deceive readers, no way he's the actual mastermind

 

[Reqqles]

Okay Yotsuha's brother has been suspiciously absent from spreading misery. New prediction: he is the mastermind who wants to make Yotsuha suffer by taking away the person who made her happiest in life. Possibly because he blames her for their mom's death

Unless she saw yotsuha time traveling then there is no other way for to blame for the car accident.

Rational, but his motivation doesn't have to be rational. It could be as simple as Yotsuha moved in > stuff happened and now the mom is dead.

Alternatively maybe the mom was treating him well but started neglecting him after Yotsuha came because she was forcing so many expectations on her. I still think he is by now the most likely candidate to be the mastermind

Idk, going by how psychopathic the mother was i think he hated her.

Like, i don't think Yotsuha was the only one she treated like that.

Heck, we even got a hint of it by the news reporting someone commiting suicide, and her being disappointed that she "can't use him anymore".

Fair, if I'm wrong I'll have egg on my face.

Trying to kill the guy that saved you from being bullied has gotta be the dumbest shit I've ever seen... Is he a masochist?

 

[theblasblas]

Are we sure he’s the mastermind? Nothing here actually confirms that, just that he gave him a push here. Still think there is probably someone behind Rei as well.

Yeah, if he's using Rei as his name in contacts instead of Clover, then he's probably also just a pawn.

Clover probably convinced him something like "This guy took your place in society from you. Back when you were being bullied you were pitied, you could blame them for how shitty your life was, but what do you have now? Nothing."

 

[Sakuyadorf]

DAMN the fuck did Uchi do to you?

 

[WiseMansBlood]

well this introduction was kinda uhm direct... but I knew it wasn't the brother. It was kinda foreshadowed though. Now the question is the motive and how they gonna solve it. I personally want this guy to die like a dismembered pig
