Stupid Kanade

I would love to see what your hypothetical Kanade crash out would look like ngl (you don't need to draw for this if you don't want to a text explanation would still be awesome)

ok soooo this isn't exactly the crashout but rather building up to it i guess :P

the rest of this post is gonna be rambling and predictions ⬇️

alright this ask enabled me, im gonna just dump all my thoughts as of now on what's to come for kanade's story :) i could end up being completely wrong, but hey im just theorizing and having fun here while i wait very impatiently lol

To start, I don't think kana5 will be on the scale of mizu5 (i mean i might be biased but idk if anything will come close to that level of insanity again), mainly because there hasn't been as much build-up to a breaking point. Kanade's issues have been pushed aside (by herself especially) and not heavily focused on up to this point in the story. There hasn't been any increasing tension for things to reach a climax yet. Having her big break be in this next event would be too sudden and sort of unprecedented. For this event at least, I highly doubt that'll be the case. Instead, I think this event will start to touch on Kanade's buried issues more, and begin building that tension for something bigger. I can see this being a multiple event arc, similar to the events leading up to the climax of Mafuyu's story. Summarizing that, yes I think Kanade's got some real tough shit ahead of her, but that's why this won't be a one-off event story. I think it'll just be the beginning.

That being said, to touch more on my predictions for kana5 itself, I think Kanade will start to slip, and the others, Mafuyu especially, will take notice. I can't really predict anything specific, but I think something will happen that will make her question her ability to save people, or cause her to be harder on herself, as she has in the past, to keep composing persistently, neglecting her own needs and health. However, things are different now than they were before niigo. She has more people around her that will be able to see the damage she's doing to herself. But she also knows they all look up to her, and that her music lifts them up. She knows they all have a lot they're dealing with, and she needs to be there for them. She can't let them down.

Then, when Kanade pushes herself past her limits at the cost of her well-being, what will she do then? She meets with the others on nightcord every night, and Mafuyu is living at her place. She won't be able to rot away by herself anymore without people noticing. But she still feels this need to be the group's rock and to be the one to save everyone, so she'll try her damn hardest to prevent the others from worrying about her. She'll shoot down their attempts at trying to talk about it. I think she might be especially stubborn this time around, and it might cause niigo to have to figure out a way to help Kanade, since they won't be able to get through to her at first.

Kanade has shown in the past to get uncharacteristically aggressive when she's pushing herself too hard, as shown above. She starts to take on everything herself, and snaps at anyone who tries to stop her. I think this side of her will be shown more going forward, as she begins to go down this kind of self-destructive path yet again. At least, that's where I think her story will go. Her tendency to work herself to the bone hasn't really been resolved, and she's gone so far with it before to end up in the hospital after passing out. She doesn't care what happens to her, as long as she can save people. The only reason she has ((slightly)) gotten better at taking care of herself is so that she can be able to keep composing without ending up in the hospital again. Not because she cares about her health. Because she must keep composing. She still only does the bare minimum for herself. If it's her cooking, she's only having instant ramen, and most days she's probably not going to see the sun. She still doesn't sleep much, and Mafuyu has said that she's often falling asleep at her computer.

This might be getting a little rambley atp, but my point is that Kanade neglects her own needs in her determination to save others. I mentioned how she neglects her physical health in the last paragraph, but she also neglects her own feelings as well.

She minimizes her own problems or just doesn't even talk about them. I think she truly believes that her problems don't matter, that they only distract her from her goals. The reason she doesn't open up is likely because she herself doesn't believe her feelings are important at all. She doesn't pay them any mind, and she doesn't want anyone else to either.

Of course, I have to bring this card up. I think this is just a perfect visual representation of Kanade's feelings, and it's great foreshadowing for what's to come. Those feelings are buried deep within Kanade, yet to be addressed or solved. THIS is what we're getting into. Kanade, depicted as an angel, surrounded by death. I think this is related to her guilt surrounding what happened to her father, believing it was her fault. That she destroyed everything. But because of that incident, she told herself she has to keep composing, and never stop, in order to save people. She feels like she owes that much, and that that's her sole purpose. She won't allow herself to think otherwise. No matter how much it destroys her, she must be a savior for others.

Last thing I wanted to add, because I saw this reblog under a prev kanade analysis post, and they brought up great points. Especially how dangerous Kanade's composing grind can get. We wouldn't even have a story if Honami hadn't found Kanade unconscious!!! I think she might get to a really low point again like this, but having Mafuyu there especially, it won't be able to go unnoticed. I don't have much else to add to those tags though cus they speak for themselves 🙏

Finally, just real quickly going back to the little comic I drew, this is just a rough idea of how I think Kanade could act. She'll get noticeably worse, but will try to hide that fact from the others and deny any help from them. I also mentioned that I think we could see more aggression from her again, so I included that, as she feels threatened in a way by Mafuyu worrying about her. She can't let that happen. Also, Kanade's impending doom aside, I think this progression in the story may also spark some change in Mafuyu. She might show some more emotion in this or future events, and she may realize how much Kanade means to her, motivating her to do more for her. I think it'll be a full group effort to save Kanade, but I wanna see Mafuyu taking a bigger role in this. I just think this also has the potential to grow Mafuyu's character more.

Also, as for the Kanade crashout, I really don't know how they'll handle that. I can't really predict what they're gonna do with her climax. But I want her screaming yelling and crying !!! like she better go insaneeee 🙏 and I also feel like they have a lot of potential with her seiyuu/VA and stepping out of the soft quiet voice to do some crazy shit, maybe in the songs too pls pls pls give us loud kanadeeee

OKAY THATS ENOUGH YAPPING its 5 am i havent slept....

AHH!! Thank you so much to everyone who has reblogged and sent me asks since my last few posts! And especially to those who chose to follow me?!?? I really loved reading all of your sweet messages. I will try to get through all of these requests as soon as possible so thank you for being patient with me!

What's your opinion on MizuToya?

I’m a huge multishipper so that one is actually on my list! They’re already some of my favorite characters, plus I think they’re super cute and I already love their dynamic romantic or otherwise. Also it would be super awkward for akito which I think is hilarious. I imagine under mizuki’s influence, Toya would learn to loosen up a little and explore his identity beyond what his family wants for him, and I think with Toya, Mizuki would find a lot of warmth and care, and probably start coming to school more arvjesgkrh

I would love to hear what you like about mizutoya‼️‼️‼️

OMG amazing??? the most I’ve managed to save up is 145K and then I sunk 200 pulls into wedding kanade just for no card to come home :(

＼( ° ∇ ° )／

i need to talk about this card or else i'm going to explode

Kanade is totally giving Angel of Death vibes with this one. All of the white tones and gentle pose/expression representing the purity of it all, her desire and will to live to save everyone, which is also something that leads to her downfall.

We can see that the entire atmosphere gives the shivers, the landscape around her is destroyed, full of bones. Kanade has a sycthe in her hand and is crying, representing how despite her wanting to save people, this leads to her destroying things around her, since herself doesn't know if her methods of saving others actually works or not, which can lead them to despair. Kanade cries seeing the sight that she never wanted to hurt others, but her saviour complex hurts more than helps.

She feels like she NEEDS to save others to continue in life, to be alive, this is her duty in life, and she can't change this hurtful mindset alone. That is why she is far away from our view, because she doesn't want to be helped, she wants to be far away from others and let herself do her job, even though eventually this will only harm others, especially herself.

I really hope we can touch more on her saviour complex and the way this can be harmful to herself + other characters in long term (both in the story and in the fandom). I'm not saying that Kanade is some sort of villain that wants to hurt others, FAR from it, her entire thing is that she wants to save others, but her way of doing so isn't the best. She always haves the best intentions but she can't think the way she does forever.

I love her character SO SO much and this card is SO beautiful and portrays her struggles and view of herself SO WELL. Colopale is ROCKING with their new cards these days and I'm LOVING IT

some kanaena from a few days ago i forgot to post here

(og image by pomssum on twitter. Here)

I see what you’re getting at but to be honest, most people not listed (besides Kanade, who holds a special place in Ena’s heart) just don’t know her that well. So I feel like she’s just being polite. Ena banters with everyone she is close to, including Airi. So I do think she is just Like That

That being said,,, I do agree that her reputation is thrown off by those three because they mess with her on purpose unlike the rest of her friends. So she isn’t a tsundere, but I wouldn’t say she’s a total sweetheart

so funny how ena comes across as this angry tsundere but she's actually a total sweetheart to everyone who isn't mafuyu, mizuki, or akito. it just so happens that those are 3/4 of the people she interacts with the most.

I have such a funny picture in my head of Toya putting together his original vbs outfit. I imagine he saved up his money to buy his one cool shirt and jacket, very nervously ripped his jeans himself, and grabbed his little necklace out of a random junk drawer to make sure his outfit was cool enough

(The sequel)

How did you capture this energy so perfectly

What do yall think of my shipping chart
