[ENG SUB] Kanade confronts Mafuyu's Mother [Project Sekai] 

"It's my wish to make her the happiest child in the world" BRO U MADE HER DEPRESSED😭🔥🔥🔥

"It's my wish to make her the happiest child in the world" CONGRATULATIONS MS ASAHINA U JUST WON THE REWARD OF BEING THE WORST LIAR OF THE YEAR

i like how people can write how manipulative mafuyu mom is. She uses words carefully and the warm, sweet voice to manipulate mafuyu, especially with the sentences: "i want what good for you" and "im your parent".feels

You know how Emu freaks out whenever she sees Mafuyu’s happy facade? I genuinely want to know how she’d react to Mrs. Asahina’s sickeningly sweet, condescending smile. Would Emu be just as scared, or would she actually get angry seeing a smile weaponized?

4:03 "Im sure that those at home will be worried" girl there IS no one at home

The actual dialogue and plot of this event are so interesting but let's also talk about the fact that Kanade's clothes in the card image look significantly nicer than what she usually wears. It's just one of those little things that adds so much: she's trying so hard to convince Mafumom that Mafuyu can be around N25 -- that they're not going to be a negative influence on her -- so she dresses up despite being a recluse in the hopes of changing Mafumom's mind

the most disturbing part is that mafayu’s mom doesn’t even realize how horrible she treats mafu. it’s so creepily “natural” and scary

Considering Mafumom has lifeless eyes like Mafuyu when she’s depressed and sees no hope, I wonder if she’s trying to live vicariously through her daughter because she’s depressed with where her life is. Perhaps she wanted to be a doctor, and for some reason she couldn’t do it. Now she’s relying on Mafuyu to give her that satisfaction, since she wants to feel better and doesn’t care how Mafuyu feels about being used

Mafuyu's mom: "you should get going those at home will be worried" I giggled💀 She has no one at home

you know what? i’m starting to think that her mom not only wants mafuyu to be the “happiest child in the world,” but i think she wants mafuyu to achieve great accomplishments and be a perfect child so that SHE can congratulate herself as a parent. like in a matter of “my child is sooo smart and perfect, i’m such a great mom to have raised her like this.” but i also like to think that it’s something about generational trauma

Mafuyu's mom: My child is completely fine~ Kanade: Your child literally wanted to *disappear*.

The difference between Kanade's reason and Mrs. Asahina's reason as to not letting mafuyu know is wildly different. Kanade doesn't let her know as to not worry her while Mrs. Asahina does it to prevent interfering with Mafuyu's studies. It really shows what they value more

“It’s my wish to make her the happiest child in the world” Welp… that went… That backfired

Ms. Asahina, I can now officially say, you are the most careless woman I've ever known. Like careless as in, you don't care about what Mafuyu wants or needs, all you care is her future, not her mental health and well being Go Kanade! We're cheering for ya! Don't let this damn witch win! I don't even care if that woman doesn't realize the way she's raising Mafuyu is wrong, just don't let that witch win

As much as I’m not used to commenting on videos, this WHOLE clip of Kanade confronting Mafuyu's Mother is SO SHOWING of her character. Even when saying goodbye to each other, she says: "Let's keep it a secret between us that we met today, we shouldn't let Mafuyu know." Which, her reasoning for that is "Interfere with Mafuyu's studies" once again, while Kanade's is "I don't want to worry her more than enough." That is a nice detail, but also such a fucked up one. Another one is how she manipulates niigo members (not just her daughter). With Kanade, for her it's really tough to be interacting with Mafuyu's Mother since her own passed away long time ago, and yet she can tell that it's different. And her saying of: " you should think carefully about your future, so that you won’t regret it." She said the EXACT same thing to Mafuyu, but in her context its cuz her mother is overworking her while saying it's for her own "good", and she made Mafuyu believe that if she'll "fail" the future that her mother prepared she will "regret that". And since it's her friend she might have thought that it would work the same for Kanade. And just as I said before, the fact that for the sake of Mafuyu's protection niigo members (those who communicated with her) had to do things that could be considered selfless and the ones they are uncomfortable with. As I said, with Kanade it's the fact that she has to look at how her mother treating Mafuyu, while her mother is long gone, and understanding how different both of them are. In one other event (I forgot which one it was) Ena had to talk to her through the phone. And for the sake of Mafuyu's protection she brought up her father's name, which she is fairly uncomfortable with, because of his words she began being unconfident with herself and started to seek approval on the unhealthy amount. And she did all that, just so her mother wouldn't bother her for just a NIGHT. It makes me wonder, how would things be for Mizuki and what would happen then? Either way, KANADE LETS GO. The way she just without almost any hesitation said "I just cannot believe you" and "You're not really thinking about Mafuyu." YES CONFRONT HER, BEAT THAT ASS. (Sorry for a whole rant, but MAN this event is such a gem, i adore Kanade!)

The way mafuyu's mother speaks makes me think that she actually believes what she does is right, so perhaps she herself was treated the same way by her parents. Mayhaps generational trauma opening...

i feel like it's important to highlight that she said "mafuyu is the most important child to me" before she talked about her personality traits and how she wants to make her happy. it's subtle dialogue like this that sets in that her mom sees her as more of a trophy to show off then a person you can also tell she's slowly manipulating kanade the same way she does mafuyu, so it's very clear she's aware of what she's doing. she does not care about mafuyu's wants or needs and it shows even brighter now that we have a face and voice to see her body language

2:47 I think Kanade's ability to change clothes in a second is amazing

As someone who's had to have conversations with the parents of friends (and partners)... This feels very well written. The nonchalant and collected behaviour, the patronizing smile while they tell you straight to your face that you're some kind of danger to their child... It always feels extremely hurtful, specially when you're young. I don't know the rest of this event's story, but props to Kanade. She was very strong.

GO KANADE!!!🔥🔥i love how kanade refers to the woman as ‘this person’ or ‘that person’ instead of acknowledging that’s she’s mafuyu’s mother(bc she’s damn well definitely NOT a proper mom) also I had to resist the urge to curse loudly at the woman bc my family was with me

Kanade wanting to help her gf and hating her abusive mother is so incredible,we all believe in you Kanade!

WE'RE ROOTING FOR YOU KANADE YAYAYAAYYA

“it is my wish to make her the happiest child in the world” SHE CANT EVEN TASTE FOOD ANYMORE?? LIKE GET SERIOUS FOR A MOMENT

YAS KANADE WE SUPPORT YOU! BE THE FANDOMS VOICE IN GAME

“It’s my wish to make her the happiest child in the world” Ya no Mrs Asahina you made this much worse

Mafuyu’s mom is honestly the best representation on how a manipulative parent is, when u try to confront them they’ll gaslight n manipulate u with words like “I’m ur parent, as a parent ik what’s good for u ok?” “Yes I’m the bad guy n u r the good guy” and so on. And if we just try to “rebel” (cough stand up for ourselves) they’ll get extremely angry with us and start saying that we had changed for the worst when rlly no, we just grew up n we r tired of following ur strict rules. It’s even worse if it’s a mom tho, cuz they’ll always talk in this calm tone, n using words to make u sound like u r the bad one n sometimes, bc of this u don’t even know if u r actually good or bad anymore n u r left defenseless oOPSIES! srry for projecting there-

At this point Mafuyu mom is the worst parent in Proseka. I mean at least Toya's dad and Ena's dad still let their kid to di what they want. Although they have different understanding and perspective with their child. But at least because both of them understand what they're talking about from experience (Toya's dad in music and Ena's dad in art). And they don't twist their child's feeling around. Mafuyu's mom though, her of way talking is very manipulative. Also her last line to Kanade before they depart, she clearly try to shake Kanade's commitment to show Mafuyu that her friend is wrong. Props to Proseka story writer though.

Kanade has come so far, she’s become my hero. When she said that she took her parents’ love for granted, I choked up. Her parents let her pursue her dream. It is so easy to take that for granted. I’ve been there before.

Kanade is already a better mom than Mafuyu's mom

"Its my wish to make her the happiest child in the world" WOMAN, YOU'RE THE REASON SHE'S DEPRESSED

Everybody here hates Mafuyu's mom (deserved). But let's talk about how adorable and sweet Kanade is, I love her so much😭😭😭😭

"Think about your future so you won't regret it" That line's pretty significant, since "A Future Written with Regret" is the song that was born out of Mafuyu's own feelings; they're complete opposites.

I don't know if I'm the only one that noticed this, but Mafuyu's mom has the exact same eyes when Mafuyu becomes depressed. Pretty neat detail.

"because - im mafuyu's parent" nah miss,imma tell you one thing you're a literal demon

YOU GO GIRL!!!! im actually so happy that the whole niigo squad have developed so much already

this is extremely common for asian parents. Mafuyu’s mom is actually one of the better ones, because there are kids who are conditioned to think that they deserve to be abused because they are « hardworking » but not « genius » 😢

Many people really don't really know what is like to have real horrible parents. I just hope that in this story, Mafuyu's father can grow a backbone and do something- I'm not up to date with the story, but I know Mafuyu's father is a wimp who also do whatever Mafuyu's mom say, so it would be really cool if the writers made him grow out of it together with Mafuyu.

"It is my wish to make her the happiest kid in the world" biggest bullshit in the whole world

The fact that mafuyus mom isn't just slowly killing mafuyu, but she was clearly trying to get kanade to stop composing, is just insane. How can she be so evil?

Mafuyu: *struggling to find her happiness , tries to find her feelings safe zone* mafuyu's mom: "she's the most important person to me!!" "it's my wish to make her the happiest child in the world!!1!2!"❤️🍷

*”Ever since she was little, she’s been a very kind and sincere person.”* *- Mafuyus mother* *literally me: that MAY BE the case FOR YOU but for mafuyu HERSELF she HAS been gaslit OVER and OVER AGAIN to believe what YOURE PUSHING ON HER IS OKAY until HER TRUE SELF DETERIORATES which is WHY she’s having such a HARD time SPEAKING UP to someone SHE IS SUPPOSED TO TRUST.*

something i kinda like here is how in the scene with kanade's card, the lighting and overall mood feels incredibly cold. and the default background is filled with warm earth tones. i know it's unlikely to have been a conscious decision (at least on the end of the non-card), but i think it reflects how the asahina household is pretty well. in the background used for the scene, as well as in how mafuyu's mom is in general, you can see how it all puts on a warm exterior, yet when you actually listen to what is being said, you can understand just how messed up the situation really is. kanade's card is incredibly cold and filled with blues and grays. the lighting falls from behind her and the perspective makes everything feel incredibly uncomfortable. it fits with the dialogue. kanade is esentially telling mafuyu's mother that she doesn't care for her child's needs. but well. it is true. it was needed to be said. the thoughts behind those words, however, are nothing but full of selflessness and care for mafuyu's well being. just food for thought i suppose this event looks really good tho im so excited to read it when i finally have the time and a full translation comes out

Ms. Asahina can't stop the power of Kanade. Nor can she stop the power of the totally canon kanamafu I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF KANADE

I've never felt so much rage towards a fictional character holy shit

GOD this writing does an incredible job at making me super pissed off at mafuyu's mom all the sarcasm in her dialogue to try and pass it off to kanade as "mother knows best", only referring to mafuyu as "my child" to treat her as some sort of trophy after controlling her future, and then shooting at kanade with the ultra-sarcastic "you should think more about your future" to try and rub it in/bring her down, it's such amazing writing it makes me want to strangle mafumom

god that woman genuinely gives me the creeps. there's something about her expressions and the way she speaks... welp, they sure did an amazing job conveying the atmosphere

i actually almost slapped my phone when Mafu's mom appeared when i was reading the story earlier lol

"it is my wish to make her the happiest child in the world" gotta be the biggest lie i've ever heard in my entire life

This reminds me of a play that I read recently: A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen. Although the story is different (it's about a housewife who slowly realizes her husband does not love her as a person, but rather as a doll that he owns and can dress up), the themes are very similar. I realized this from the line that Mafuyu's mom said to Kanade near the end, when she tells her she should think carefully about her future so that she doesn't regret it. It reminded me of when, in A Doll's House, the husband saw his wife's friend knitting and told her that she should take up embroidery as a hobby instead. He said this because he believes embroidery is a much more graceful hobby than knitting, and he tries to influence her into being a "pretty perfect woman" like his wife. Maybe that's what Mafuyu's mom was doing as well, trying to influence Kanade into being a girl who values studying like Mafuyu does because she thinks music won't be beneficial in the long run. Perhaps it's also an effort to make Kanade rethink and tell Mafuyu to focus on her studies? Idk lol. This doesn't really reveal much about the story, I just wanted to say what was on my mind. I love how much was revealed here, and I can't wait for the next key event. Thank you so much for the translation!

*from Kanade's phone* 25ji Kaito: Uun,let's all write Mafuyuu's future......Together

I love how kanade confronts mafuyu's mom but one day I really wanna see how would it be if the whole niigo confronts her

“It’s my wish to make her the happiest child in the world” SHE WANTS TO DIE BECAUSE OF YOU

3:01 "You should go home soon, I'm sure those at home will be worried" 'those at home' u mean buncha cups of noodle maam? 💀💀

I love that everybody collectively hates Mafuyu's mother and is supporting Kanade. This is a good community lol

Мать Мафую говорит так весело и уверенно, и выражение её лица такое жуткое... Лучше бы ей не делали модельку, я испугалась до усрачки

Why does Mafuyu mom’s sprite always dislocating her shoulder while she was speaking??? (I hope her shoulders actually dislocate) Also, this witch is even creepier with voice and 2d model than I thought…

“its my wish to make her the happiest child in the world” stop the cap 💀 ALSO SHE USES THE “think carefully about your future so you dont regret it” CARD ON KANADE TOO, GIRL JUST STOP LIKE-

W kanade for standing up to mafuyus mom

"I want to make her the happiest child in the world." BRO MADE HER DEPRESSED‼️‼️‼️💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 AMERICA RAHHH🦅🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

the fact that mafuyu's mom said: those at home would be worried BRO.

Nah Mrs Asahina.. You are the one who doesn't care about Mafuyu..

Mafuyu's mum: I want her to be the happiest child in the world Mafuyu : *depressed 24/7* 0:20 STOP SMILING 0:58 THIS GIRLIE CANT STOP SMILING

Ngl Mafuyu's mother is scary!Go Kanade, save Mafuyu from this witch!Mafuyu's mom is so manipulative and suree she maybe cared about Mafuyu but she manipulate Mafuyu to keep studying everytime!

W KANADE Fr tho why is mafuyu’s mom the literal definition of a villain

LETS GO KANADE !!

The fact that Mrs Asahina is so much like my mother..is terrifying to say the least.

"Those at home will be worried" Kanade: Kanades Parents: 💀💀

Can we talk about how kind Kanade is???? She looked after Mafuyu’s true feelings, caused Ena’s change in perspective towards her art, is a dear friend to Mizuki, and she actively tries to better herself for the sake of others (exercising to be in better shape to make music, tries to help Honami when she is able). This moment was the first time we’ve seen Kanade genuinely angry about something, which speaks volumes about her character. That’s why I love this event. Kanade’s anger, while quiet, is huge. It’s always the quiet ones you have to look out for.

*screaming* "It's my wish to make her the happiest child in the world" "I thought that you truly cared about Mafuyu, I thought that, but…that doesn't seem to be the case at all" *screaming intensifes*

The fandom is going to end this woman omfg☠️☠️

LETS GO KANADE MY LOVE SHOW HER WHO'S BOSS

Congratulations Mafuyu's mother you just won the game "WHO'S GOING TO THE RETIREMENT HOME"!! Srsly though didn't think this event would make me hate her more than I already do I hope in the future the witch doesn't get redemption or atonement with how much damage she caused to her daughter GO KANADE ROOTING FOR YOU QUEEN!!!

GO KANADE YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE😭😭

KANADE UR NOW MY FAV CHARACTER OMGGGG

Ma'am wants to make Mafuyu happy by manipulating her into studying nonstop and throwing away her hobbies and even emotions 😭 Leave this job to the rest of N25 rn you ain't needed Also, thank you so much for the translations

It takes a lot of bravery to do what Kanade did and she did it without hesitation for Mafuyu’s sake. Their relationship is so sweet and unconditional it makes me emotional.

"It's my wish to make her the happiest child in the world" Funniest joke I have heard ALL week

"it's my wish to make her the happiest child in the world" 💀

and this ladies and gentlemen, is why kanade is my favorite 25-ji member.

kakande is a cutie i love her so so much😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

"it's my wish to make her the happiest child in the world" **kimi wa dekinai ko by kikuo blasts on the background**

まふゆ母立ち絵でたん？！？！

Damn Mafuyu's Mom looks intimidating

kanade knows what she did to mafuyu and what she’s very clearly trying to do to her as well.

MAFUYUS MOM LOOKS SCARY 😭😭😭 and I think this event is going to make me cry 😭😭😭

I'm liking this slow development of freeing Mafuyu from her prison. Her mom is the final boss of Project Sekai confirmed

GOD I LOVE KANADE SHE HAS SO MUCH COMPASSION FOR MAFUYU

I love this event so much. It’s where most characters stand up for Mafuyu finally. Especially Kaito, he gets to the point, and he might shocked everyone for it, but I love Kaito for that.

GO KANADEE!!!!!!!!!!

I sensed so much darkness☻ from that woman and I rooting for Kanade and rest of the 25-ji to be Mafuyu's light🌟.

bruh i hate how i heard these words before (mafuyus moms words)

Ms Asahina reminds me of Rapunzel's so-called mother ngl

Now she has (Mafuyu’s mum) a Live2d model huh… Ms Asahina I hope you realise you’re actually putting your child at risk to make yourself look good…. This event actually made me tear up, Kanade really did a brave thing for Mafuyu

"It's my wish to make her the happiest child in the world" It may seem crazy what i'm 'bout to say…

Omg Kanade slays even more now!! I always wanted to see this and it happend, finally! This is why she's my fav character :D

Imma rant real quick as someone with a similar familial relationship as Mafuyu, so uhhhhhh I dunno if many other people have experienced this kind of relationship- where empty 'wishes' from the guardian figures are obviously contradicted by their actions. Sometimes, parents/guardian figures get so wrapped into doing something (like working or getting grades for the betterment of the child's future/life) that they forget why they're doing it. Or even when they're just lowkey manipulative and do a lot of terrible things while ultimately still caring a little bit (although to a questionable degree) about their child. It's confusing, and I still try to understand the opposing party since they can't be all bad, but media like this makes it so clear-cut that- regardless of intent- the impact and influence is important and notable. As someone with experience with a nearly entire family relationship like this, it's so hard for me to just say that my feelings matter when I'm always put down and told that they're doing what's 'best for me', even by people watching from an outside perspective. I get Mafuyu's struggle, just in a different way where I recognize it as an issue but don't do too much about it because of the power my family has over me & the low self-esteem I have that makes it difficult to fight for myself without seeming narcissistic or incorrect. I don't even got many friends to tell me "She seemed so different from what you've told me!" since I just don't have friends anymore (let alone anyone to reassure me). I hope Mafuyu's story helps a lot of people, not just minors, tackle this issue. Even if it's hard due to the power and control the opposing party has over you, even if you don't have anyone to reassure your feelings are 'valid', it's worth fighting for the possibility of a happier life.

1:30 BJTCH YOU MADE HER DEPRESSED ASF AND SHE DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT HER TRUE FEELINGS ARE😭 EVER SINCE SHE WAS LITTLE, SHE WAS ONLY "KIND AND SINCERE" BECAUSE YOU GASLIGHTED HER WORST MOTHER OF THE CENTURY GOES TO MAFUMOM🙂👏

that woman's every single word feel like gaslight

I hate that witch… Kanade save Mafuyu. Please…

“It’s my wish to make her the happiest child in the world.” It’s my wish to make you suffer :3
