I mean, it's quite obvious he caught a glimpse of the card (pass) which is clearly not Umemiya, I wonder how he'll react, based on the few panels..Rakta seems quite chill..? But he's very strict on integrity and order from how I see it.. UGHHH I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEWEST CHAPTER OGHMDMSOSXGIO

I get the basics of numbers can’t repeat in a box, a row, or column…
and that’s about it..
I can’t even fathom how I’m suppose to know if this move will block a future move, and I don’t get the online sudoku since it doesn’t tell me how it doesn’t work..
PLEASE HELP ME
YES I’m a loser.. YES.. this is easy mode and I’m still sucking balls, this half the time playing is just guessing,

Based on all the theories I read (a lot…) everyone’s ideas are so incredibly written, and I love this fandoms critical thinking sooooo much!! I gathered some ideas and a theory I find rather solid.

What many people are thinking of is why suo did all of that to nireri and left bofurin! and honestly so do I, but I think we shouldn’t just only figure out the reason he left solely , some find he has to have a reason but I beg to differ, that which I’ll get to. I’ll mainly focus on the theme of the arc, and how I’ll describe Suo.

First,
What I see is that he obviously loves his home town, or which we believe to be his birth place, the recent chapters shown us his relations with the people and his important role in this system, we know that the town he’s supporting seems to be struggling, adding to his shoulders as officer—and supposedly only getting worse… we don’t even know fully what the Red Chanpuru is! (Basing this just on the few panels)

On the other hand, his time in Furin was much more carefree, Suo here had a playful demeanor, (even with a few unrelenting personality changes) The “Suo we knew” would never do this! But I find that “Suo” wasn’t being fully truthful in the whole manga, even if some fragments were true—that isn’t to say Suo is relentless or cruel! (And far from a pathological liar..)) Because when he was in his city he also was kind! The key difference I would like to add is his face and burdens added onto him!. He feels—how do I say it—rather empty recently ?? I found when he was talking to the children the most odd because he completely deflects what they said! With only a bitter ending of chapter 217 when he finds telling the foster place (or whatever it is) about the situation futile, and his two acquaintances agreeing, that it won’t be as lively as the man working in the kitchen makes it seem.
It’s odd to see suo like this.. suddenly with to much responsibility for a 16 year old!! which is why I find this arc is going to be rather complex, and change our view on suo as a whole!

mainly, the biggest metaphor and evidence I find for his differences in the environments of the city compared to bofurin is the moon phases.

On the first intro to the suo arc we see him looking peaceful as he stares at a glowing full moon, this is meant to represent his happiness at furin, and perhaps a much more tranquil moment than the recent chapters—which show him staring at a crescent moon a bit solemnly and tiredly.. this being further enlarged when it transitions to Sakura with the same moon.. whom we know is absolutely distraught at the sudden loss of suo.

The arc is of suo and his “code—switching,” and embracing a change despite a feeling of responsibility. He tends to change how he acts depending on where he’s at or the situation, the burden of not being able to be a kid, or left without burdens, in his city.
and the pain knowing that you have to leave behind a family that let you be a carefree version of you.
Stick with a family you’ve been with your whole life, (who I believe suo pays a great debt to) and not being able to leave without a pain lingering face of neglect, a group you lead your whole life for (red c).
Or going with what makes you feel at ease, a new relationship with people you cherish (furin) that makes you feel whole.

Changing for yourself or staying the same for others.. a growth and transition to letting yourself be rid of burden from a home you’ve known in order to better improve your own life.
This arc I can tell is going to tug at many peoples heart strings! Familiar family or found family..I think we’ll finally see his calm demeanor snap like a rope in a stressful situation as a last straw, truly what will break Suo is choosing between the two!!! (Can’t wait for a dramatic moment in thissss!!!)

A common trope of change taken into account uniquely, not to much of an interesting theory, but I find it plausible based on the chapters, tell me what you think please!!!!!!
