Kimi wa Yotsuba no Clover - Ch. 57 - Like a dream!

[ItsThatBriGuy]

Guys! It's probably because that dude knows her brother and was referring to him. The previous panel literally closed in on Yotsuha while leaving Uichi out.

If there were any plot twist, I will bet on Clover looking like Yotsuha, or even a wilder guess, clover being her brother

Or an older version of her trying to stop her for reasons unknown.

 

[neozeed]

The foreshadowing that Clover is Yotsuha from the future is getting blatant.

 

[Graywing]

Maybe she has an older sister? Thanks for the chapter!!!

 

[ShadowSilence]

Y'know what. The shoe already dropped. The curtains are raised and Yotsuba came out standing on a mountain of the vanquished. I really think we're past the worst of it and this guy is just gonna be a fairly weak "final boss". I mean, the whole conflict right now is just for Yotsuba to FIND the guy.

Oh dammit you might be onto something here, and I just posted some copium shit too. I guess we'll see, but this one would really be the other shoe.

At so he’s met the clover and it’s 100% her dad the question is why does he hate uichi so

 

[SpecialProjectY]

Sorry had to censor this is a christian server.

But seriously, now someone looks related, Yotsuha dad really might be The Clover...

Thanks for the scanlation!

 

[Nezzo]

Wait, did they just reveal who clover is? Like the one behind everything?

he might just be a messenger tbh instead of the actual clover person itself.

 

[mangagon]

Thank you for translation! So clover are either her brother or mother or father.

Am i the only one thinking that

clover is just another Yotsuha?

Probably an older corrupted version that time traveled, thus the whole clover thing

Don't think it's very likely but I theorize the original timeline has Uichi have a satisfying and successful life without Yotsuha. Specifically one where he forgot about her or friend-zoned her and left her alone. In the original timeline I would guess she suffered a lot but in return she gets the watch to go back in time. She then uses it to torment Uichi to his death for breaking his promise. This then causes the Yotsuha in the second timeline to suffer and also get the watch. She then goes back in time to stop Uichi's suffering, not knowing it's her that is the root cause.

 

[MrScruff]

brother or dad eh hmm

 

[arimareiji]

To me, the big reveal of this chapter is that "dude who somehow resents Uichi for saving him from bullies" has actually met Clover (whereas Clover has kept a careful distance from his other pawns).

There have been too many hints that Clover is her brother, and this locks it down. (Remember how strikingly similar Yotsuha's face and her brother's face were, when we saw them together?)

Editing to add:

I 'm fairly sure I have it figured out. I haven't read ahead, but the pieces fit together too well, so please don't read if you don't want to risk reading what's very likely a series of big spoilers. (Also, minor spoilage for Higurashi.)

Spoiler: seriously, don't read this if you'd rather wait and figure things out as they unfold. also, *please* spoiler-tag if you decide to respond to it.

Yotsuha does push herself too far and dies in one timeline… that she doesn't know about, because she didn't restart it. Notice how easily her older brother believes the premise of time travel? And how quickly he points out not to kill anyone for Uichi's sake, because Uichi would hate it?

He's speaking from experience. He blamed Uichi for her death, so he rewound (or whatever mechanism he used) back to farther than when she put the clover in the watch (chapter 41). He probably also caused their mother's death, but ain't no one gonna blame him for that. (He may have felt guilty because he's the one who went back in time to push their mother to go rescue Yotsuha.)

It might be a family ability, from their mother? Her reactions are often incomprehensible (e.g. how she treats Yotsuha, how she hears someone killed himself then says she guesses she doesn't need him anymore in chapter 40) — unless she's been trying to fix multiple time loops and her sanity broke under the strain.

I used to think this was straight-up "manic pixie dream girl tries to fix Higurashi"… but now I would bet the author first saw The Butterfly Effect and loved the idea of a family ability that breaks its users' sanity the more they use it (because accumulated trauma adds up fast).

I just hope her brother realized she's fighting him and is standing back to give her a chance to fix things, rather than that he's fighting her right up to the end like in Higurashi. But regardless, I get the feeling he loves her deeply… which is what twisted him far enough to do this, and why all his emotions and reactions to her are strangely blunted.

Place your bets now: mom, brother or dad

yeah i could see this being possible, because at the end i don't get why the mom or brother would use the clover identity, and above all why clover doesn't want yotsuha harmed when the mom never really cared about her like that

 

[MrTurtleMan]

So I don't think he is Clover, I think he's 1 of clover's minions based on what happened in the previous chapter when he told Uichi to kill himself, the wording and everything just felt off for him to actually be Clover. I think it is probably either:

• Clover is her dad
• Clover hates her dad and using Uichi to get to her to get to him

Either way I think this chapter confirms my theory that Uichi wasn't the main target but just a way to get to Yotsuha

No you aren't the only 1 thinking that, people have been regularly commenting it for a while now. It would be stupid if it was true as she time travels via regression, there aren't 2 of her, if she got old and bitter to do this then her time travelling would just overwrite her current self. I'm not saying it isn't the case but it would be stupid if it was the case.

 

[Statyc]

You mean the guy dropping the envelope? He's likely not Clover, given he seems surprised at the similarity in appearance.

But, it's also possible that it's Yosuha's father. I'm not buying her brother being Clover.

 

[Arkuses]

Man that means it's either the brother or the elusive dad

 

[Doodert]

Maaan, I just found this today and caught up... what a hell of a cliffhanger to leave off on after just finding it..
