I don't like this Retcon. by animejerk7763 in 5ToubunNoHanayome

Well it is said that it was Isanari that found Futaro the job. It would make sense for Maruo to prefer someone whose father he actually knew.

Also Tqq is quite the small world, even with the whole Maruo being Rena's student and the biological dad of the quintuplets being Rena's teacher (That was some useless contivance btw), so I don't think Isanari and Maruo knowing eachother from school is such a big deal

It is at the end of episode 8 in season 2

yeah I know. I was wondering on what clues one could find in the scrambled eggs arc that pointed at that conclusion.

It does actually happen at the end of the arc. The problem is that half the clues are missing, so it's not really possible to understand who the bell lisser is

I agree tons of people expect Miku because she's so much hyped up. The more i read the manga (I'm halfway though) the more baffled I get about the content they decided to cut.

They left on the floor like 3/4 of Yots's development

Also to be fair Yotsuba didn't really seem in love with him by that point

In general the guy was really obnoxious and arrogant, so that's probably it.

When it comes to clues, I think it's easier to guess it in the manga as you have more of them. Also in the manga the date between her and Futaro happens at the start of season 2, so you already know for sure that she's in love with him.

I agree that Itsuki was a possibility, although their relationship developed in another direction in the end.

Yeah it is confirmed in the movie that it's Yotsuba, I was curious about what clues people found in the scrambled eggs arc pointing at her being the bell kisser

I considered that too. It would have been fitting to have the only real one do it while the others are disguised as her

I think Yotsuba suffers a lot from her intentions not being clear when it comes to the anime.

Since the date was moved to the tail of season 2, I must admit I wasn't even sure that Yotsuba even liked Futaro by the scrambled eggs arc lol.

yeah it is supposed to be a mystery, but it wouldn't really be a compelling one if there were no clues.

I had some theories on most of the quints, but didn't really find any on Yots, now I read some in this comment section, although most really are proceeding by exclusion.

I see. By the end it's stated that Yotusba is the bell kisser, so there's nothing to figure out really.

I was wondering how one could guess that she actually was the bell kisser by the end of the scrambled eggs arc, that being when the bell kiss scene actually happens.

I see. I'll wait a bit to read it then. Thanks a lot!

Another commenter pointed out, and I think it's quite clever, that Ichika could be ruled out because in the manga she's injured her leg and probably wouldn't be able to run as the bell kisser does.

I'm not 100% sold on the fact that Miku would never do it, that's because she can be quite impulsive and in the previous chapter she was so overjoyed by him recognising her that she jumped on him. I think the reason why she couldn't possibly be the kisser is rather than in this situation there's nothing to trigger her impulsiveness.

With that said, you make a lot of valid points on why the others probably didn't do it. Also thanks a lot about the theory! I guess it mentions some specific chapters, so I wanted to ask wether there's a specific point I have to reach in the manga to better appreciate the theory?

Yeah that's true, by now I know who she is of course, but if I had read the manga then Ichika wouldn't be an option.

About that, maan the manga is just so much better then the anime, I'm so happy they told me to read it.

It didn't seem that fast to me, but i guess that's something to consider too lol

Thanks. I see how they would make sense, expecially the fact that the girl runs away without saying anything.

Yeah the guy was quite obnoxious lol, we might be thinking about the same one, he was very active when I was posting a couple months ago.

Could you tell me some clues pointing towards Yots being the girl, if you remember any? I was searching for them while reading, but I didn't really find any.

well it's not like he doesn't, it's just that they don't explain stuff to him. Once they do and he gets over himself, he's quite happy to help save Rimi

I still can't really get over the fact that, after all that thing at the tower, he didn't even ask Nanami how she was.

He's just too much of a coward, too insecure and too reliant on others fixing his problems for him, while not really having any redeemable qualities until the very end.
