Breaking Houseki no Kuni Apart - The Sum of All Scars 

While rereading the manga, I realized that padparadscha IS one of the few gems who cares about phos unlike the other gem. Gonna miss padpa so much.

The moral of Houseki no Kuni: Suffer, but productively.

Just read the latest chapters. *laughs in depression*

I guess you can say...Phos is becoming more human.

13:08 When Dia gets tired of living under Bort's shade and comes back from the moon to fight him, he's wearing a dress shaped like a lotus, which could also signify the brand new confidence she got up there, and how he's not afraid of Bort anymore

Fuckin' moon unions. I loved that reveal. Phos now being aware of time passed is really interesting. During the rest of the story I got the feeling that there could easily be weeks or months passing between events. The Gems are hundreds or thousands of years old and immortal so the passage of time itself has no meaning. What a Gem did today a Gem will do tomorrow. When the status quo is rammed by the semi-truck of Phos' lunar escapades each day could drastically change the next. I agree with your conclusion at the end. I believe that no matter how much I've changed I'm still me. Phos challenges the hell out of that for me. If you're familiar with the Ship of Theses, I'm of the belief that something that is changed over time retains its identity. I want to apply that to them as well. That's difficult when the parts that Phos had replaced also carried with them the very things that define who they are. Especially when someone else's head is put into the mix. That 100 year time skip was one of the saddest parts of the story for me for that very reason. In the end the Gem we're following is still Phos and only Phos.

Alrighty folks, sorry for the re-upload. Had to get the HD options working. Don't worry, I read all your comments before the re-upload. Much appreciated!

Finally i found someone who is covering this series plus the manga. I have searched so many times and all ive found was videos on how good the cg was. The first video popped up in my recommendations and thank goodness it did. I can relate so much to this story. Excellent review. i promise this channel will grow and when it does, its going to grow fast. Something just going to have to spark the flame.

Probably the best analysis i've found on yt, hoping to see more hnk related content from this channel!

Man.... Phos deserves to be at peace. He cashed in lots of those trauma tokens so now it's time for Phos to rest

Would love to see more from you. Funny, not forced. Informative commentary, not just retelling the plot. If you keep up the quality writing I don’t care if it’s houseki or not.

Omg, I don't remember the first time when I see a new RU-vidr so dedicated for something. I can't wait for the new video :D

I will come back when either anime catches up or when I get around to reading the manga This is just about the only show I actually don’t want spoiled

Mmmm now we have that clean, crisp HD to match the clean, crisp, and very entertaining analysis! =)

First video blew me away. Second video earned you a subscriber. Amazing analysis, ingenious bits of humor, and explanations. Love how you will go in depth with subtle things but at the same time completely blow off something else that's a huge plot point. I'm so looking forward to more of these videos! Especially the one about Cinnabar fighting Pho and that whole irony.

Oh, Zoid. If only you knew the Gravity of the Situation of the future.

I've often wondered how much influence Lapis may have on Phos, and yet the analogy with Ghost/Cairn never registered with me. I feel so dumb now. This is great analysis, you've got good insight. Your videos deserves way more views. Have you posted it on reddit?

"Change some more...into a better you. " phos: i wanna be a venus fly trap. Phos: i wanna be GOD.

So glad you took the time to catch up to the manga, really nice analysis as last time, keep up the good work!

Houseki no kuni is One of those in witch i fall on love and at the same time my heart breaks to pieces... Its quite a unique feeling that is very rare to experience

Your first video was amazing but boy was this a treat to watch too! I love HnK and you revealed to me a bit more why it's so good. Watching this made me think about some recent issues I've had with myself recently and actually really helped me out. I really hope you stick with making videos because so far they've been amazing!

I searched 'houseki no kuni manga analysis' 'houseki no kuni deep analysis' 'houseki no kuni analysis' etc and i watched every video until i got to this one, took a while but oh it was worth it. i feel like nobody else got the message as good as you, and man, the way you tell it is the *lustrous* cherry on the top

Oh wow a channel dedicated solely to analice houseki no kuni, this is great XD Good job mr Schoolar there is so many things to be commented about this, i cannot even conceive how the mangaka tought on such a big universe and how is this story so symbolic and I miss many stuff if i dont get help from people knowdeable on the budhist lor asian lore overall

These two videos were so great. It's a hard subject to describe why it's so special and you knocked it out of the park! Would definitely love to see more

An upload on Thanksgiving!? You absolute madlad. So hyped you caught up on the manga tho! There's so much stuff to speculate about and I can't wait for any future videos you make, especially on Phos's "decision" and the Aechmea's character! Keep up the good work!

The ending of the video and the title were so beautiful i bawled my eyes out... Thank you

I'm dyin' for the next video. Great stuff as usual! : }

I love your video, it share many of my views and pains when reading this manga. I think this is the most positive way someone categorizes Phos's transformation. Most are either simply putting it into Black and White matter and who's right and wrong.

Your "what can we learn" segment was extremely relevant to personal life events for me today. Can't believe I happened upon your chanel by coincidence today. Anyways it was just what I needed to hear, thank you!

Oh my god, I loved this video so much. I'd love to see more of this from you.

How is that i haven´t found your channel before, pls keep going. The way you explain everything makes me notice more about houseki no kuni.

your video turn me in tears, and also makes me laugh

I kinda late watching this video! Thank you very much of the wonderful review!

I kept coming back in your vids and throw random nier stuffs here. I still love this series because it still hidden so deep in veils of deciet.

Awesome work. Look forward to seeing more analysis of other thought provoking series. I also suggest Made in Abyss whenever you have a moment.

14:44 to 15:30 is amazing , oh my god this vid is so good

just found your channel and boy, definitely the best analysis of Houseki no Kuni I've watched!!! really opened my eyes as to why I loved the show so much! The conclusion at the end really hit home for me. Wonderful video overall!!! I look forward to following your channel, and I hope to be here when you get big.

Anime: "She" Manga: "He or it" Me: Clearly it is a she, I mean, those hips.....

I haven't even seen this manga/anime but I love listening to this guy's breakdown of the story and its deeper meanings.

Your voice is like butter 😩👌 Also amazing analysis. This is such an underrated series and it’s hard to find videos that go as in depth as you do, thanks for the vids!

Just saw both videos,Can't wait for the next one, really good work

Holy shit I just watched both of your videos and it was such a good analysis of the entire series it's so far one of my favorite series. How it deals with Phos' internal issues as well as touching other gems' issues in a good pace is something i love about the series. The worlds It built and the characters is all in a good way. This video was one of the best hnk videos I've seen by far and i applaud you for it. Keep up the great work!

Really great analisis, im curious on how much longer this series is gonna go on, I can sorta see it going both ways, either ending real soon or going on for quite some time, regardless of how much longer it goers on, i just want my little rock friend to be happy again.

i'm so glad i could find this video. i love hnk so much but i have so many emotions about the manga that i couldn't really sort out, and i'm glad you analyzed the entire thing. a lot of my conflicting thoughts on the series has to do with phos' ever changing "self". i keep thinking about things like "is this phos?" or "how much does phos really remmeber" and things like that. the story is a bit unclear on that aspect and you can make all kinds of theories, but maybe a rigid definition of phos' identity isn't really that important here. idk. you brought up a good point when you said identity is pretty fluid. [spoilers up to ch 93 in the next section] another interesting thing in the manga was achmea's plans for phos, regarding creating a human. i just find it so interesting that, keeping in mind everything they went though, it was phos who he targeted to turn into a human. the art in 93 was especially strong in that regard haha you also brought up an interesting point with caingorm/achmea's relationship and how it was basically her switching one dependent identity for another. it reminds me of ichikawa's "star lover" in her short story work, which features a pedophilic relationship (her short stories are incredible. if you like hnk absolutely give them a try. they're called sakuhinshuu). it's hard not to see how manipulative achmea and caingorm's relationship can be. overall, this was a really good analysis of hnk's manga. you brought up a lot of things i didn't consider, and i'm really interested in your thoughts on the latter chapters. i wanna go reread it now too haha. keep up the good work!

Omg，though you joke and mees around in your video from to time, your overall presentation was beautiful. Astounded, thank you for sharing. Really appreciate your work.

Love the pairing of the Lunarians with the Paprika soundtrack! Thats exactly what they feel like to me, when they appear on Earth

You really opened my eyes on the "nature vs nurture" stuff, if i get that sort subject , i remember the words,you

Both videos are among the best analyses I’ve watched. I know how it can be with RU-vid and making videos, especially when just starting your channel, I’m in a similar position myself. Whatever the case may be, I hope you do come back and upload more videos. Until then I’ll be waiting for that notification.

73 chapter has come out today!!!

Hey man, loved your video! You're really well spoken, funny, and make a really good analysis of the source material! Would love if you kept making these for the later chapters in the manga as well as some other series! You deserve waaaayyy more subscribers for the quality you put out. Keep it up :)

Padparadscha THE PIRATE

Just read the whole manga and is waiting for the Hiatus to end. But damn. I could imagine Phos after this becoming somesort of Godlike being who will once more turn the clock of life but... Not before going back to the Moon to see his friends, the lunarians, and Sensei to surprise them of his accomplishment. He would appear on the Moon in his old-self only, fleshy, I would say. Wearing the same expression that he had way back in the day. He would then both apologize and thank his family for the wonderful adventures that he had during his time before announcing that he will be turning them back into humans as he will turn the clock of life once more on the planet. Thus, all of them being reincarnated into humans in the future. In the future: Reincarnation of Phos' friends(Gems and lunarians) would be chattering about, walking in the flourishing city and taking selfies. One by one, we would see glimpse of other gems reincarnates (and the lunarian prince as well as Adamant) walking past them or them waking by them. As they arrive in a Plaza where the Statue of Phos is placed for religious purposes (Although, at this time. They think of Phos as this God like Jesus.) As the reincarnates starts taking selfies around the area and praying on Phos' statues, they bump into what we would see as person sporting a hairstyle that we are all too familiar with. This would then cause a chain reaction inside the reincarnates and tears would then come down from their eyes. This person would then ask as to what was wrong, worried what she might have done to cause this. The reincarnate would then say the name "Phosphophyllite" to which the person would then answer, "Yes?" Hearing that would make the reincarnates jump unto her hugging her like there was no tomorrow. And that person would then end up crying too as she too would get that feeling of connection crying, "Idk what I did but, I'm sorry. I feel like I did something bad." Although they wouldn't have most of their past memories, they will still retain their identity.

amazing analysis I fucking loved this video holy shit

Cairngorm's relationship with Aechmea makes me super uncomfortable tbh...wonder if it's supposed to be uncomfortable

I like how your analysis end on such a positive note yet the manga just gets more and more depressing

Its Pretty Sad when an immortal starts staring at the clock. JUST WOW.

Tumbling down tumbling down

Yo this is fucking amazing, thanks for making this! You've got another subscriber :)

when it started out with wanting to make a wikipedia

“Maybe that’s not such a bad thing.” *sobbing* no. It is.

Hey, It's been a month since I watched the previous video. And it's kinda crazy to say, but I've been waiting(and thinking) for a time when I feel like it's right to watch the rest of your videos on Houseki no Kuni. Tonight though, on the dawn of a new year, I think is perfect. Kinda weird huh?

For a moment there I thought you had been hit by youtube's copyright! And damn was this a great review, this manga about gem people truly has no reason of being this good.

loved this

The way I see it sensei left antarc to die and all over gems. He could’ve prayed for that single group of lunarians (and yes he can do that remember shiro) and just wanted some change or maybe those gems started to rebel (remember antarc one sensei was hiding something and he’s lonely) he could’ve saved them but doesn’t. And adamant’s (Adamant) behavior needs to end he’s lied to everyone to preserve what? False hope the lunarians would hunt down every gem anyway he was just prolonging the inevitable

Phos is my favorite trauma collector !

this is beautiful TwT

hey just here to say i'll come watch this in a few years when season 2 and 3 are out in the world for us to watch see you then

Very good video, thank you! There's some minor inaccuracies, but all in all it's a good video :) You should also look into the Seven Treasures theory if you don't already know about it (unless its what you mean by Phos metamorphosis)

You remind me of demo senpai so much for some reason ❤️

7:43 just realized... cicada THICC

Yeah, subscribed

Sure hope he'll post again

can't wait for more, do you plan on doing more Houseki videos or branching off into other stuff?

I need that Kenshiro Phos pic now, like right fucking now

Please wake up now hoseki has progressed so much please make another review

It seems a few tears have showed up. 😢 Time to wipe them! 😞

I feel like this story is about how mortality effects morality aswell

Still not there...

Where did you get that phosphophylite jostar from, I NEED IT

The manga is going deep and deep for Phos

Idk if u still read the manga but i would encourage you to possibly do another one if you are up to date. That shit is crazy

Chanel ded? waiting for episode 80 of the manga, i remmebered this channel, no videos in months :(

Oh man this series has gone dark ( also buff Phos is so cursed 🤣)

Why nothing was said about Lapis? Or it was just about Phos?

i feel so bad for phos. the latest chapters are so sad

Wow the ending hit deep

what is the song you used throughout this

Oh yeah, the manga is something else but its so good!

PLEASEEEE upload a new video 😫😫

8:45 Manga: "She is too wise and too kind" SHE Ok sorry, just wanted to point that up.

Please do more

Me, literallt drunk, in June 2020 at Phos: OOF

Please do an analysis on chapter 77 when it it's up ( Real crap gonna happen )

Poor Phos.

Where I can get the manga?

I don't know if you read comments but are you gonna make another video on houseki?

Please talk about phos giving cinnabor purpose of fighting him

I saw some people, uhhh...cheering on Pho's most recent terrifying developments in the manga (??? will only write the full spoilers in the replies to this). I don't get it. But regardless I really have to hand it to the author for pushing the concept of the manga (immortal gems, etc.) to the...breaking point. 😎 It's breathtaking to watch unfold.

what da song at 2:51?
