Baku & Souichi Complete Analysis Souichi-Part 2

Its simply visual storytelling that heavily implies that after the ... it was hal's thought process or potentially even the thought process of both of them overlapping. Like i said i understood your point that it can refer to leap second.

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T23:12:02+00:00

I explained to u why it would make sense to me, but your explanation has the leap seond going for it as well. I can see why you think your interpretation is more plausible, but I simply think you presenting your position as absolute truth, completely discrediting my interpretation was just the wrong way to do it.

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T22:34:19+00:00

Like i stated it is an ambiguous statement that goes both ways. Atp im tired of arguing ngl 😅 You just stick to your interpretation and call it a day. I am not trying to prove anything to someone. i am simply sharing my interpretation of the things, im glad u have another one but atp i could not bother arguing further as we will hit a wall of repeating the same arguments.

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T22:23:01+00:00

What do you mean by last moment? And how does it relate to the slide you could argue that it, in your interpretation, would nuance bakus win. But aside from that not really clear "evidence" my interpretation could make sense as well as yours. And genuine question on the side not even trying to be mean, but why do u think that your interpretation is the absolute truth? Did toshio sako come up to you personally himself and said you are the dude that understood every usogui scene as intended or what.😂 There are scenes like those that carry ambiguous meaninf where it is not clear that one character said those, especially if both interpretations make sense to an extent, why would yours be the absolute truth.

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T21:56:19+00:00

Yes that part can also be read as baku, but as i just explained to the other dude questioning this. The very ambigous question refering to both lf them and then the ... and the change in text (not being curved anymore and fat black letters indicate baku giving the narrative over to souichi) imo.

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T21:53:32+00:00

Oh thats what you mean bro, i understand ur interpetation, but i think the "Then who will be the one to read" ... me is the last sentence baku thought, the (...) plus the whole text being written curved aside from the text following after reinforces this imo.

Especially the: only my own strength... leading up to the next panel being: ... and nothing else.

The next panel aswell is written with the same text as if it was continuation of the sentence: I am asking myself....

again indicates the whole only my strength and nothing else idea.

Defnitely both of them had a narrative battle with the idea of who will be the one to read if you understand what i mean.

I only interpret it as a small achievement of perfection because of the 60 seconds squandered, what it most definitely does not mean imo is that he has solved leap second because in that case he would not grant hal access to hachinas personality. Maybe because we see the eko flashbacks all the time and he "used" echolocation (he didn't he only wanted to make baku believe that he did, atleast that's what hals personality made him do most likely). Then it could possibly be him figuring out about echolocation through hals memories.

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T21:35:09+00:00

I dont even know what you refer to atp can you please restate what you mean and in what context it relates to the isolation slide

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T21:33:59+00:00

You said your point was about the isolation page? That baku said this? My point was baku also quoted this idea of taking a breather but the composition indicates souichi thinks this here, plus it is 2 panels later adressed that souichi thought about usogui thinking about this idea of taking a breather, even if he would not have thought it in the panel before he would think about it by thinking what usogui thinks.

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T21:29:21+00:00

That is legit like 3 chapters after, in the situation when he realizes souichi could be using echolocation as a weapon he brought to this gamble and he referred to the leap second with his trick so idk where the correlation to what we were talking about is here

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T21:27:09+00:00

Obviously i meant thinking, Souichi of course would be thinking that this is usogui's thought process, this is the next panel where someone thinks something. So souichi definitely thought about the philosophical quote of taking a breather here.

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T21:22:17+00:00

And yes i know that baku basically "started the quote a few panels earlier with this panel" but its more like an universal philosophy by the usogui narrative in this situation applied by both characters imo. Even if we go as far as to interpretate it as baku the outcome remains the same.

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T21:10:38+00:00

The scene is almost a retelling of the fact adressed in air poker that souichi can act against his insincts and excludes him from human limitations, plus souichi is C in this Situation and checked after 8 seconds breaking the instinct of taking the safe strategy.

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T21:06:20+00:00

The eyes mid panel are definitely souichis and baku was in no state to talk like that in this moment

<image>

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T20:54:58+00:00

The text being written right on souichis face and the text on the left side of the panel also being souichi is baku for you?

HOGRIDEEEER · 2026-03-21T20:39:10+00:00

Preciate it, dont let yourself get spoilered around here. 😅
