Tonikaku Kawaii - Vol. 25 Ch. 232 - The power to reach beyond all else

I think Kaguya is really Kaguya.

Ok back to the main topic, I can't chalk this up to anything but supernatural.
Especially as a biology nerd (unfortunately).

The IR spec analysis in result #2 is actually legitimate, I guess maybe of a fingerprint.
I think result #1 is self-explanatory.
The differential comparison I suppose makes sense. But the barrette chemicals threw me off, I think they're:
top middle isn't in the Chemspider database? I don't feel like typing out the IUPAC name
bottom left is a manufacturing chemical for textiles, sec-butyl-H2PO4
bottom middle is some kind of 1,2,3,4 methyl furan but not sure if it exists
The bottom right appears to be a metabolite, not sure why it would be there

All of these (even the Barrett!) being absolutely normal and yet regenerative (breaking the 2nd law of thermodynamics?) point to ridiculousness. I can't find a reasonable explanation with current scientific knowledge.

Therefore, we ought to adopt a stance of meek acceptance and revere kami-sama 😂

Couldn't Tsukasa's apparent absolute immortality just be externally created? We know there are those so called Moon folks. It's possible that civilisation, wherever they are, possibly some parallel universe Moon, had added Tsukasa to their database, and their unimaginable system will keep Tsukasa existing, even rebuilding her her whole body and memories, if needed. Perhaps they will update their copy of Tsukasa's brain contents every second so that even if Tsukasa's brain was destroyed, they could just rebuild it.

This way no matter how much you studied Tsukasa herself, her body down to the atom level, you'd never find anything non-human about it. Because it's all about an external power. This external power would, in the end, only be somewhat more advanced than the Star Trek level. If in Star Trek you could store the transporter buffer, you could recreate a person as many times as you wanted. You'd just need to keep updating it to make sure no experiences are lost. And by studying the person themselves, you wouldn't find any clues to the "immortality".

I considered that thought when I read this chapter but kinda settled on the hypothesis of Tsukasa's existence itself becoming a "constant" after the events of Kaguya-hime's return to the moon. Whatever her father gave her during her final hours, completely changed her from a "variable" to "constant".

Thanks for the chapter.

What do you mean dying for the experiment.

How can Tokiko proves Tsukasa Immortality and study them to fine details as in the confidential papers. It probably involving "testing the waters" on Tsukasa (probably with her consent).

Just A Speculation though.

From the research I guess Tsukasa was voluntarily engaged in experiments that were, to put lightly, considered crimes against humanity. Damn, 100% obliteration of the brain...

Nanomachines son and quantum physics, hope I've cleared all your doubts

But they didn't find presence of nano machines in her. Maybe we will know eventually.

Ah yes I can see it now. Tsukasa will be kidnapped by moon people because reasons, then Asimo will build a Gundam for Nasa to pilot to save his wife.

To be honest, I think this isn't going to be part of it. Going 'to the moon' is already part of the plan regardless of if Tsukasa is taken away or not, and has been since we got most of the huge lore dumps around when Nasa recovered the remainder of his memories from when he first met Tsukasa (the 'fake end' of the manga). Yes, Asimo might build a Gundam for them to use, but I feel like it won't be to rescue Tsukasa.

In fact, based on what's been revealed so far, an individual being 'taken' by these entities disintegrates and gets absorbed or whatever into whatever the hell the system is, like what happened to the first incarnation of Kaguya. It would basically be a 'bad end' the moment that happened, in my opinion.

The hair band is absolutely nonsense to preserve from any physically practical angle. It has no physically functional use to her, it's not a part of her body and it's also not even the same hairband she's always had, meaning she regenerates whichever one she's currently wearing.

It's been all but outright stated the hair barrette is the same one she was gifted by the Emperor every time we've seen her with it on (she has referred to it as a gift from a dear friend or something to that effect in modern times or the Q&A sessions, so she considers the one she is wearing right now the same one she was given over 1400 years ago by the first Kaguya incarnation's lover). It is not a new barrette, it is the same one, or a recreation by the immortality effect. If she takes it off to have her hair another way, she puts it back on later and it remains part of her.

I do wonder if part of why it is preserved is because it is made out of animal flesh- it has been described as made of deerskin, specifically. It probably doesn't really matter that much, though. Just wondering why it is counted but not the clothes she wore when she transformed, so I jumped to plant vs animal material.

I'll also note that somebody talked about her hair, and yeah, apparently she can't grow out or cut her hair, from what I've understood even before this chapter. Nothing about her physical form can seem to be changed. This includes muscle mass, body fat... And I highly suspect her ovaries are frozen and immutable, as well. In fact, her entire genital situation might be immutable, which could be very unpleasant for Tsukasa, for sure, and potentially bad news for Nasa, depending on how forceful the re-building process would be, regardless of any foreign matter in the way (can you say 'emasculation'?), and, in either case, there would be a lot of blood, constantly flowing if they tried to push through as the hymen regrows within moments and is then torn through again, over and over. This is not a happy thought and reinforces the idea that they cannot have had sex, and should not, until her immortality is taken away.

If Hata has seriously thought this whole situation through, that is. There's some seriously bad consequences in there when the situation is taken to its fullest conclusion.

...or a recreation by the immortality effect.

Maybe you didn't read the rest of what I posted but that and the rest of your post is pretty much what I said? The chapter confirms this is not the same headband, but its regenerated by the power. Or it's the same one, from a certain pov. The whole point of discussion is why does the immortality power regenerate said band. And that's because she values it and considers it part of her identity.

I did not expect such a necro post.
