i finished 25th ward
i really loved it, i loved tsuki and osatos friendship, tokio morishimas story and shiroyabu + kuroyanagi
i still have some questions left, but i think this is normal since everyone considers this game to be confusing:
is the ending basically a sign that the past got “killed”, as in the whole cycle with kamui is finished and yuki is not getting used by the government for criminal power or doubles, if not what was the message of the ending
shiroyabu was kamuis son, which im kinda sad i got spoiled about since that ruined the experience but is the joker basically a double of shiroyabu, like the original shiroyabu being the “format” and acting as a mould for his other doubles? basically getting used by the government just like kamui, as in the whole shelter kid thing happened again. and also is he format kamuis son, basically the original kamui or do they mean any other kamui double?
the most confusing thing was “what is kurumizawa”, he was an observer (?) but there are a lot of different explanations for that term so it had me confused. at the end i reached the conclusion that the observers are us, the players since we observe 3 different stories and switch between tsuki, tokio and shiroyabu / uehara.
so does kurumizawa basically observe the whole kamui virus? but then what did he try to achieve?the whole point of the mayor was to make someone with the power to save the life and to kill to life meet, so basically tsuki and osato, since tsuki kept doing his job (upholding the order) and osato had criminal powers (going against the order)? osato being sundance shots child was actually pretty weird too and suddenly having silver eyes, wasn’t sundance shot a sumio clone?
"Do you know the phrase "Flower, Sun and Rain"?
The answer is inside Kamui, don't let him get to you, he's not here, he's next door, he's just peeking in" before we loose him. Kamui goes missing.”
After finishing the whole trilogy, i think i understand this sentence from silver case. does it mean that everybody has this murderous intent inside of them? and that they can awaken it any time? kamui is always next door, he is always near us, he is our neighbour and i think in this context its referring to the kamui virus, the need to killtokio was being used as a tape, basically as a data holder for the fso? or was it the 2 other fractions? and what did he do in the end after deciding not to do the deal? and who even is tokios sister? i pretty much understood it all till this happened, we never got mentions about his sister aswell
what is happening with sumio, why does he “barely exist” and why did he have to come in contact with kurumizawa
he was getting observed aswell and was existing in 2 places for some reasonwhat happened between shiroyabu and kurumizawa, shiroyabu was tweaking for one whole chapter, why did kurumizawa suddenly “remove” or “kill” himself (the scene with kuroyanagi had me so sad, and jabroni saying hes tired)
very important: did ichigaya or kiryu die
this is a lot, but i would appreciate it if someone would even answer one question.
