Comment on [Episode] Sparks of Tomorrow • Nijusseiki Denki Mokuroku: Eureka・Evrika - Episode 4 discussion
wietach@ani.social 6 days agoNo, but it looked like some kind of puppet to me. He wouldn’t have Seiroku’s actual corpse??? Or parts of it? That would be too unhinged, plus, how would he preserve it? However, according to Yosuke’s reactions in this episode it seems like he wants to revive Seiroku (or Seiroku’s puppet) with electricity or something. What do you make of it so far?

I mean it would be wild but this show has been…
maybe. I think a theme of the show has been people focusing on an item to some ends, but the actual solution to their problems being something else, and that item itself only catalyzing/motivating/facilitating them. Kihachi was focused on the catalog, but the best it had was hints, and he had to piece things together himself (this is the most blatant, since the catalog is literally his own dreams). This episode was supposedly about the device to talk to the dead, but we’re clearly shown that it was Inako’s efforts that really convinced the proprietress to be open to moving on. I would guess that Seiroku plays a similar role for Yosuke somehow.
