its almost time folks. in anticipation for pho's suffering, us hedgefunds are suffering :D . anyways saturday is the next chapter i believe. we'll see how phos has done....i think we all know the answer.....
The part where phos sees himself (his old self) running in front of him and asks "Who's that? Adorable." Is just like how ventricosus described what death is to phos in the early chapters. Phosphophyllite died a long time ago.
@@thomasyip1925 cept for antarc he didnt forgot who phos was and cared for him by asking adamant where is phos and how phos condition is Only phos and antarc that i hope will get a happy ending rest of the gems including cinnabar could f off and die somewhere on the space
@@haze9283 its really hard to explain it because i just gonna explode and make a long rant about it in other person comment and it will be a bother the op cus they will have notifications that arent belong to them, you could just read it online on mangakatana or mangafreak
It's the fact that Phos' original goal by going to the moon was to find a way to destroy the lunarinans so all of them could live in peace...that's why they want Sensei to pray, but now phos wants to kill em all ;-; I'm just really sad man ;-;
I don't think she wants to kill them all. I think she doesn't know that the gems would possibly disappear too. She does want some sort of violent revenge, but she would never permanently crush a gem to dust.
No... not all. And that's the secret. Phos made her a promise... ...a P R O M I S E. To give Cinnabar purpose. Remember that as the story continues to unfold... remember that. Think... What is it that makes a mineral a gem... growth? Or Pressure...
No, he wanted adamant to pray for the lunarians so the other gems could live peacefully. But the gems on earth didn’t understand that and tried to stop him…and because of phos’s desperation he wanted all to shatter so he could reach his goal
In the end they actually do want everyone to come back. But when they reenter the school to rebuild their friends everyone is gone. That hit hard. Finding out phos never abandoned their goal and was just caught in a rage bc of all the rejection they faced. I think in the end phos will pray for everyone because that's what they always wanted. Peace for everyone even if they themself can't have it. None of what they did was meant to harm anybody they only wanted the best for the gems who only showed them little kindness.
In hindsight , Phos was manipulated from the very beginning . He was banished from the hills and he didn't fit in with the lunarians . He was pressured to take action and the struggle made him hate Sensei. I was shocked from the realization that no one actually cared for him except those inactive gems ( Antarc , Padrasch , Lapiz Lazuli?) They were the ones who truly understood what he was fighting for. Phos loved the other gems too much and it led to his downfall. He achieved peace but at what cost?
I think Dia also sincerely cared for phos and maybe cinnabar as well. They were far from showing it but they observed phos closely and never forgot who they were.
And Sensei must have cared for phos. His love for all the gems and his desire for them to be happy is what made him develop an ego and therefore become unable to pray. It wouldn't make sense for him to just somehow dislike this one gem when one of the key parts about his character is that unconditional love for every gem.
Destroyer of worlds phosphophyllite Lost your shine to learn to fight Now lapis and gold control your body I miss the phos who was nobody Achemeas mind games led you astray To crush your friends so adam would pray In the end was it worth it all? To become human and take a mortal fall Your demise started in the winter Antarcticite stolen, shattered, and splintered Lost your head and went to bed Your alloy shimmered, sweat, and bled Woke up anew your hair now blue to see if what adam spoke was true So many ghosts in your mind It would have been easier just to die Your journey ends with what you wanted Cursed to remain alone, desperate, and haunted Antarcticite on the moon shines so bright platinum tears at night comfort this little gem called Phosphophyllite
@@alguemaleatorio8713 well, the protag turned in a villain, she killed all of her friends, and she is all alone now, no one knows what will happen with her. This is sad as fak
Wait. What happen to cinabar? I'm too scared to countinue reading the manga since it too heart breking every time i finish reading it and the after pain is always give me such a damage to my mind and my heart. So can you please tell me? also, sorry if my grammar is bad. I'm still learning
@@faizamaliahhabibah7115 Cinnabar is fine, it's phos who's in pain. Memelord just meant that if Phos had never met Cinnabar, she never would have gone to the moon.
@@welcomecoffin2124 phew...ugh i was terrifyed. Shinsha is one of my favorite character... i don't know anymore and i'll lost all of my courage to read the manga if that really happen, even more i might end up having a nightmare because of it. thankyou so much for fixing my misunderstanding
@Gacha AndStuff Spoilers: They're making phos suffer to become human, in order to create another prayer machine. So, It's more than wanting to die, it's their desire to pray away their own existence.
At first, I thought I wanted a happy ending, but now, I kinda don’t. Sometimes things have to end horribly, and sometimes things don’t stay the same. There will always be problems in the world, and world peace will only happen once we all die. Sometimes things have to be sad , and that’s okay. That just means the happy things will be happier.
I never thought I would say this, but I just want it to end now. My mind and heart have become soo attached to the characters, especially Phos, that it emotionally and spiritually hurts to think about the predicament they're in and everything that has unfolded. I used to be like, "no way! The story is too good I never want it to end!" Well Ichikawa, it finally broke me, and now I just want it to end. Edit: Also great job on the video!
Woah~ really? intresting to see how some people see the manga, you and another user say its breaking your heart, and it breaks mine too, lol, poor baby, phos, but also, the manga is legit keeping me sane. I love to see feelings i've felt to be illustrated and say 'YES!! EXACTLY', like you know, the manga understands me heh. Dang. I probably come off as selfish now, 'yeah interesting.. but about me' 'hush, nobody cares~' so maybe i'll delete this? but no, i'll post it. maybe someone finds this dilemma relatable idk. k bye. have a good day~
@@temporarydye3648 oh hush! You're comment is important and didn't come across as selfish at all! It's really interesting to see different sides of the spectrum, and I'm glad this manga has been able to resonate with you. Have a great day💜💎
when i started with the anime and on the 2nd episode or 3rd i wondered everyone seemed so nice at first but nobody gave a single shit about phos turning into a snail aside from dia and cinnabar slightly, dia was the only one who wanted him back nobody else even tried to care and now i look back at that scene and phos's words that he has truly been alone from the very very beginning hit so damn hard
sometimes I think about this series as a whole, the amount of pain and loss that Phos has suffered, how despite everything they've sacrificed and how much they've given up, the only thing the other gems have to say to them is "thank you" "thanks for bringing me to the moon" "thanks for your promise" it isn't fair to them. it isn't fair that Phos has had to give up so much and the other gems just see it as them doing a favor. the way their life has been completely planned from the start by aechmea is not fair, they were doomed to fall. there was nothing that could have saved them and it makes me so upset because they were such an innocent spirit who just wanted to help their family and have a purpose and og my god ichikawa you are evil why would you do this
This story is a true tragedy, because it’s not just sad, it’s not trying to hurt the reader just for the sake of hurting them. The happy moments mattered just as much as the heartbreaking moments. Phos and their journey mattered no matter how badly it ended and that’s cathartic, that’s a true tragedy.
I hate how dia is now. They never even tried to change, and when they went to the moon to finally find themselves, Dia's only goal was to "destroy the competition". Dia didn't even win in the end, and instead of my sympathising for dia I can't help but feel sorry for everyone BUT dia.
I can understand how you feel, but you have to understand that Dia was poisoned from the start. She had always suffered from a massive inferiority complex, and the gems simply do not have the perspective to even understand what that is. There are only what, thirty odd of them? Hardly a sample size for psychological study. Besides that, as evidenced by their lack of an encyclopedia, their collection of knowledge is haphazard at best. I see a lot of hate for the gems in general for what they did to Phos, but more than anything I pity them. They didn't even understand that their actions would lead to Phos' alienation, they couldn't have even known they were destroying themselves. If anything, the lunarians are to blame. They have tens of thousands of years of experience to draw from and their best solution to their problem was to be massive dickheads until Adamant gave them what they wanted. An incredibly human solution.
You mean one depressed *gem,* with a *HUGE* flying army made by all the moon people? Hmmm..yea. Im sure one depressed *gem* would win This is a joke btw i'm not trying to fight ower the gender
@@anastasia_852 ... Dude, does it really matter what they are? For them, boy, girl, rock, its all the same lol Its valid to call them a boy as much as it is valid to call them a They (In Japanese version they even use Boku to make it easier). Tbh, for me Phos starts as a girl, becomes a boy, and then just, huge depressed mess. Let people have fun, its not like they said Phos was EXPLICITLY a boy
I really hate the gems that stayed at the earth and blamed on Phos. He only tried to help everyone the whole time, everyone manipulated him and tho only one who didn’t do it was the master, but instead he lied him and was selfish. And even after that Phos still felt guilty , nobody except for Artactite (i don ‘t remembre the name perfectly) cared about him. Jade worried about him, but didn’t care. I want to hug him, he needs a real hug.
I used to want peace for them. Now I cry for salvation, that their voices may be heard. That phos may finally rest undisturbed. That everyone can forget and pass on gently. I just want them to gently go into that dark night and be free from this endless eternal cycle of fighting, pain, and damnation. Let it end, let them rest... let them die
Its amazing to see how many people (like me) read the entire manga in one day. That goes to show how powerful the manga is and how good it must be to captivate such a large number of peoples interests for such a long period of time.
I heard cinnabar's ost and it just pulls at my heartstrings making me overwhelmed. I don't exactly feel sad but the emotion is so great I cried the first time I heard it and still get teary. I haven't watched this anime nor read the manga. From every comment I have read on any video about this story I know it will batter my heart but I'm still drawn to it like moth to fire. I'm barely resisting now. If I come upon this anime or manga once more I'll surely resign then and read the manga.
*Spoiler* To me I think the worst of it is Adamant still loves Phos, even after all they've done. He never harbored any ill will towards Phos and even encouraged the earth gems to join them. Even when Phos destroyed Adamant he thanked Phos for relieving him of his duty.
Houseki no Kuni is my favourite manga of all time. It may not be the best, Berserk, 20th century boys, vagabond and some other mangas from the 90's may be objectively better, but no other story made me feel emotions as deep as the ones i felt while reading this story. It is forever inside my heart as the most beautiful, heartbreaking and meaningfull manga i've ever read. Edit: i legit cried watching this video, it caught me off guard.
i still can't forgive any of the gems. the lunarians were already the dregs of humanity, driven mad by immortality. But the gems were raised with love and care, and were still so thoughtlessly cruel and self-serving. I guess that's what's "inhuman" about them: their perpetual childishness, being innocent and still so hurtful at the same time.
i read the manga and then quit it was too much for my heart and now im getting recommendations everywhere i go like-- have you seen this but uH oH MaNGA SPOILERS TEE HEE like i havent even read up to that point but i know it's nothing but suffering
I think original phos is barely there anymore since everytime you they lose a part they lose memories and phos has like barely any of their original parts still.
At this point only the trunk is Phos and it's all broken, so it's less than a third probably. The rest is Lapis' head, alloy, agate, a Lunarian eye, and Kongou-sensei's other eye
The moment Phos returns to earth with the gang and the fucktons of Lunarian army and then massacred everyone's reminds me of the eclipse scene in Berserk
That is my cousin’s music in the background! I knew he was a decently known musician but I never thought I’d hear his music here of all places- Holy crap this is so cool!
I see those those eyes. They're trying their hardest down the path they've thrown themself down. I can pity and admire and hate you, but inevitably you remind me of myself, and of an honest human.
I try not to think about it now, but looking back I try to see what good there was to witness, and moving forward to the present I, only start to get a saddening feeling to see it end
The only series I can compare to Hnk is probably To your Eternity. Eternity is about learning to accept immortality, *Whereas Hnk is about escaping it.*
@@welcomecoffin2124 I've gotten to chap 95 and boy it was brutal. Also feel like a lot of people misunderstand these characters just as much as they misunderstand each other lmao. It's all a tragic mismash of ideals, perceptions and goals clashing. Phos is the ultimate sacrificial pawn in all of this. Only a few understood him and loved him. You wish everyone else could as well. No good deed goes unpunished. That Pray scene was incredibly powerful and sad
The first manga where I wanted all characters die so much , not because I hate them or anything is just living is basically suffering for her,please just let her rest in peace.
Reading the latest manga... Bruh. There's both happy and terribly sad things. LIKE GODDAMN CAN U CHILL. And now theyre going on hiatus. Like WHY WOULD U DO THAT AFTER THAT LAST TWO CHAPTERS!?
