Tengoku Daimakyou - Vol. 12 Ch. 69 - Izukunoeshima II 1

[tototototoo]

Ooh that makes sense now. You’d think robobro here would feel a little vengeful towards the director, assuming they ever made contact with one another. Though knowing that the old elites didn’t plan to just toss out the kids’ brains after stealing their bodies makes them all somewhat less evil. Learning what happened to Mikura between the two timelines will be very interesting, because closer to the present with Maru she seemed more of a good character than a bad one.

She doesn’t know what really happened to her body as far as we can tell. She seems to have been told that her body wasn’t usable anymore and that transplanting her brain into a robot was the best option. In reality, she passed out after shit hit the fan by being hit by rubble. The director who was about to die herself due to Tokio’s ability, overheard from the system that Nata was injured and then forced the doctor to do a brain transplant. Now I’m pretty sure she assumed Nata was brain dead, but it’s still a monstrous thing of her to have done.

What is even happening anymore with these constant cutaways to what some kids are doing
This is dragging serious as at this point
I pray this ends before ch100

 

[tototototoo]

Wait now that I think about it did mikura manaka got cremated when she died? If not then did she transformed?

Pretty sure we don’t know. We know she died as Kiruko witnessed her passing, but what the other people did with her body I’m pretty sure we haven’t been told.

Some kids? That’s the director with two hiruko kids, well now just one. It’s actually really important to the plot. We literally get told in the last few pages that they are off to the island to see if they can restart Meena and/or at least find out what research said about the hiruko monster disease. We know they must’ve found out something because there is of course the ‘vaccine’ that Maru has. And don’t forget that the hiruko seem much, much older than they are remember the dried up hiruko underground at that incest family’s home? And Meena is one sketchy AF A.I who’s origins aren’t actually all that well known. How did she predict the disaster? Is she influenced by something outside of humans? Is she responsible for the hiruko disease? And if so, why? And if not, who or what is?

I think the fact there are others out there capable of brain transplantation is more significant than it may seem. Could this potentially be related to Robin

Damn, forced to slave away for even longer than your lifetime sure doesn't sound better than death.
Not that I'm a supporter of the death penalty but I think working a normal human's lifespan should suffice.
Additionally, brain transplantation probably wouldn't be cheap and since the robots would be quite limited in their ability for safety reasons, this might not even be worth it from an economical point of view.

---

Nata wondering what she did to deserve a punishment such as being turned into a robot is quite sad, considering it actually saved her from the hiruko disease.

---

Seeing the disease transform a friend with your own eyes must be horrible

This is like resident evil

runs straight to the zombie

Not sure if revealing (almost) all mysteries in the next chapter is something positive, but I'm looking forward to it.

All that was left over was some kinda ball/core.

Wait now that I think about it did mikura manaka got cremated when she died? If not then did she transformed?

Was it ever established that the core remaining after cremation is any less dangerous? I wouldn't be surprised if that simply slows down the transformation/results in some something similar to the suspended animation state we've seen before.
Cremation would be too easy of a solution.

Not that I can remember, but I believe it hasn’t. I think it would be possible that it enters something akin to a suspended animation state, yes. Maybe it does delay the transformation, but I feel like we should’ve heard something about that already. However, maybe next chapter will tell us. I think it’s safe to say that if there aren’t any monsters (at least not the ones made from hiruko children but the weird ‘baby’ soldiers are a different case) on the island that the core probably either can’t transform or is in suspended animation. I’ll say, I believe it’s the latter.

 

[Valle_reading_manga]

And Meena is one sketchy AF A.I who’s origins aren’t actually all that well known.

It was an AI built by their weeb/outcasts of society organisation. (forgot the name lol)

How did she predict the disaster?

Iirc they spotted an asteroid and figured out it was on collision course with earth (early, thanks to their AI?). When governments later caught on to the impending disaster, they sabotaged the distraction mission aimed to prevent the collision.

Is she influenced by something outside of humans? Is she responsible for the hiruko disease? And if so, why? And if not, who or what is?

From my impression so far, the hiruko disease is simply an unfortunate side effect of their genetic experiments.
There could be a twist where Meena became sentient to the point where she followed her own agenda or was influenced/controlled by a third party (/aliens/whatever) but I don't think so: There's no real motive (that I can think of) nor has the story hinted at anything in that regard up until now, from what I can tell.

At the absolute minimum Robin is interested in somehow mixing humans with hiruko monsters. He kept a woman alive by hooking her up to a hiruko, so I’m starting to think he is trying to find a way to get his little sister back. Maybe he kept her head/brain in a jar… That could also explain creepy robo baby from last chapter. That could’ve been another one of Robin’s little ‘projects’ to get his sister back. Fuck maybe he wants to find Meena too so he can hand her some DNA of his sister so Meena can clone her or something.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Meena is actually influenced by aliens. There was the hiruko found in that cave that was way older than the kids, hinting at an ‘ancient’ origin of the hiruko. The motive than could be to use the hiruko children to bring back the hiruko aliens.

I remembered vaguely that the neets made her, but I wouldn’t be surprised if either a hiruko cult exists that influenced her or something.

The hiruko disease was definitely not an accident. Or at least that’s what I believe due to the much older cave hiruko.

 

[Doomroar]

The girl who’s body the director took over, Nata. So her body is the one with the short black hair in this chapter, Mikura Manaka. Mikura was also the one that used to travel with Maru before dying due to the same hiruko disease.

This is the reason why when the director said that she sees all of them as her own children, i couldn't help but smirk in disbelief

She also dated one of said children...

Then again, maybe she does, and she is just an abusive parent

yeah great maybe this time they are actually going to do something
but we have had cutaways to people nobody cares about this entire time
at this rate this shit wont be over by chapter 200

Meena has been clearly shown to have its own agenda, teaching the kids about sexuality, the outside, and talking about a final test for them.

 

[Snuffsaid]

Who turned into da bird at the end

 

[cromat]

Seems kind of weird if the director ends up learning all the mysteries from the island and then not bother telling anybody any of it afterwards.

You'd think thatd be super useful information for everyone involved lol

 

[xyzzy]

I appreciate the comments here, because I am absolutely horrible at remembering everything going on

"We need a more ethical alternative to the death penalty. Any ideas?"

Guy putting down a dog-eared copy of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream: Okay this is gonna sound crazy, but hear me out...

It’s a good thing that nobody would recommend such a reckless and heartless solution in the real world, right?

 

[Turkeyjerkey]

Who turned into da bird at the end

No one. That's just the power of the girl with the director. Lets her see stuff. But she'll turn into a hiruko later, maybe that one from early on idk.

Quick summary: two kids and their group are leftovers of that organization. They are in the past. Black haired girl is the director with her brain transplanted. She's going to an island to figure out what the deal with the monsters is.

She is the one who later showed up with male mc maru and then died early on.

The robot is definitely the work of robin, who is going around searching for various sociopathic ways to revive his sister, like hiruko or brain transplants. It will probably end with him turning her into a hiruko and her killing him.

Also the male mc is definitely going to get the female mc pregnant, then die in the end. She might die after giving birth too and it'll just be their kid left and that's what the story will close out on.

I don't think Meena's existence is known to basically anyone but yeah, he's definitely doing some stuff related to his sister.

Meena has been clearly shown to have its own agenda, teaching the kids about sexuality, the outside, and talking about a final test for them.

I mean, you don't really know what their aim for the AI was, but with their idea of creating a new world order along with their genetically modified humans, those are steps I'd deem in line with that goal.
When I said own agenda I meant Meena "betraying" Takehara academy's intentions. I'm not saying that didn't happen nonetheless, since their plan didn't go as expected nor has the past been fully explored yet, but I don't think the examples stated are indicative of anything in that regard.
