yipee more kurosagi!!!

The outlook on the universe on this is so dark, like almost no one has a happy ending in kurosagi

I appreciate that the lighthouse joke was untranslateable, but I'd love if someone could try to explain it

There's a saying that "it's dark under the lighthouse", meaning that you missed something that was right under your nose. In Japanese, this is 灯台下暗し (toudai moto kurashi). That's what Numata meant to say, but he got it wrong and instead he said 東大デモクラシー (toudai demokurashii), or "Tokyo U is a democracy". And Makino corrected him. It's basically just Numata not knowing what he's talking about again.

You could have had him butcher an equivalent English saying or expression, like:

"It's like hiding in hindsight!"
"It's "hiding in plain sight"!"

That's amazing, thanks! I can edit that in if people would prefer it?
