So we know that Aqua is Gorou's reincarnation (known from episode 1).

We know that Ruby is Sarina's reincarnation (known from episode 1).

We know that Sarina loves Gorou to the point of wanting to marry him (also known from episode 1).

And we know that Ruby still loves Gorou romantically even after all this time in her life as Ruby Hoshino (as hinted in previous episodes and made clear to us this episode).

I wonder, what does that mean? 🤔

I don't think the reveal will come soon.
(Don't spoil me manga readers I don't want to know when it happens)
Judging from last episode author will make Ruby suffer a LOT like Aqua.

But yeah Wincest is coming. As it was hinted from ep1.

People are saying what is going to happen is incest. That's only half true. It would've been incest if Aqua loved Ruby back. Ruby likes Gorou (who is Aqua), the love is onesided. This upcoming arc is all about Ruby's character development to get her over her past life.

@DrFlamingLeaf If someone didn't understand that, then they only have to blame themselves, and thank me for pointing out the obvious.

This’ll be so weird. Absolute cringe from this episode with the grooming nonsense. It doesn’t feel like it’s played off as a gag or fanservice though. Like this is genuinely just showing it. If they play it off as a twisted horror outcome, it’ll be pretty good! Might be difficult to watch tho

Amount of people who actually want incest in this show is kinda ridiculous.

How does one ruin a show instantly?

By doing something as dumb and as controversial as incest between blood siblings. So dumb 😂

I don't think they'll go the incest route (and really hope they don't). The show has done a good job of handling mature themes pretty realistically, so I kind of think Ruby's arc will be essentially fully letting her past life go and getting over her first, impractical childhood puppy love. Something that, had she gotten better in her original life, she would have had to do eventually.

Buuuut it'll be a lot to process for her for suuuure.

@ghier So apparently we shouldnt be kind to kids, especially terminally ill kids, because they MIGHT confuse affection for romantic feelings and start an one sided love.

Damn, the world is becoming a dark place because mfs think any interaction with minors is grooming now.

Idk man, saying “maybe when you’re 16” gives that glimmer of hope they needed to latch on to. It’s not even subtle. The dude would genuinely consider it. It’s pretty evident from the scene with the nurse in episode one.

Now she’s what, age 16 (27 or so mentally) and still hung up on him. He totally chained her to him.

You can be nice to her in shutting it down. Not like you have to say “ew, why would I consider it?” Kind of deal. Just don’t feed it by saying “maybe when you’re older.”

@ghier
He told a dying child a white lie, not to give her hope but to make her feel better and from her response we, or at least everyone except you,saw she understood why he said it like that.

And sorry but do you blame him for not thinking she would get reborn? Like that's the obvious thing that would happen?

The scene with the nurse is after he got brainrot from idol culture. He didn't even know shit about Ai when he made the promise.


Holy fuck Twitter and TikTok has made you all brainddead.

The Sarina -> Gorou love is hinted since episode 1. We all knew this was coming, we all knew this was an open question that needed to be resolved at some point.

And it's not entirely resolved till Ruby learn about Aqua's past life. That much is obvious

(This is not spoil, this is educated guess. Anime only people can guess just as much. I put behind spoiler, but only because I'm also a manga reader who can guess slightly better than anime watchers)



And manga readers cannot spoil you. At the moment no relationship is set in stone, manga readers know a thing or two but everyone screaming "wincest" is just a troll.

Are you sure you aren’t on copious amounts of copium?

I don’t really think her being fatally ill makes it okay … it’s still grooming

I mean, whatever you wanna think man. So long as you don’t treat a kid that way yourself

@ghier are you sure you didn't inhale too many fumes?

There is no way you call being nice to a dying kid grooming because the adult didn't account for the possibility of reincarnation.


You don't know what grooming is. You just saw people using that word.

@ssjokg okay … I guess I’ll stay on my toes lol

But really, I don’t know what to tell you man. That last episode made it pretty clear what happened to Ruby. Try asking some friends … see what they think. Prolly avoid asking family.

And if I may offer some advice for how to do so … ask as if you believe it is grooming just in case they don’t side with you. I wouldn’t want to be the cause of a fractured relationship.

@ghier Again, until your single cell brain gets it, being nice to kids isnt grooming.

Being nice to DYING kids isnt grooming.

Just because Ruby is a fictional character that REINCARNATED and still has the same feelings, doesnt make it grooming.

Unless you can prove that Gorou actually was a pedo and knew she would reincarnate and that was his intent.

No shame in admitting if you’re scared to ask.

I’m an anime fan too, you know. I can’t tell you how self-conscious I am about people rejecting me because of the entertainment I like. Like I don’t tell my family anything because I know they would think very poorly of me. It’s not just one guilty pleasure show that gives me that anxiety either. It’s several dozen probably.

Not your enemy here, I promise. Just trying to get you to gauge how other people feel before closing yourself off.

I also think that Ruby will suffer like Aqua, maybe even will see more twists and plots in that direction.
Also it was shown that Ruby called to hospital and asked for Gorou, ot sure if Aqua really heard that, maybe he did but for some reason left it alone.

@WaterMage He was in the next room, but maybe he was sleeping not sure, i didn't read anything, so he might be pretending. He doesn't know who Ruby is, so either he didn't hear or chose not to be involved since he didnt know the reason. He might have thought that Ruby will eventually leave things as they stand, he never really asked who she really was.
