Why does Amane choose his name hanako, I understand yako choosing misaki but why hanako of all things, why the specific spelling in kanji that means flower kid

Ooh, you know, incidentally, I've been dwelling on the name "Hanako" lately...

The kanji (花子) is actually pretty typical, for "Hanako"... Let's say, it's one of the most classic spelling of this name? Building off of that, the myth of "Hanako-san of the bathroom" (トイレの花子さん) is actually one that has existed in Japan for years, and in it, the name is commonly spelled like that. From a writing perspective, Iro-sensei is just maintaining the ah, iconography of the name, I suppose?

I've talked before in a previous ask about how the "Jibaku" in the title is evoking several things at once. Well, I think Iro-sensei is the sort that likes everything to feel multilayered, so even the usage of "Hanako-kun" is conveying something very particular. Hanako is a very feminine name (as flower names commonly are; think of names like Daisy or Rose) — so appending -kun to it is a little bit strange... My wife and I have joked, it's sort of like, if the story was starring Bloody Mary… but the twist is that Mary is a boy, and we call him, Little Lad Mary, or something… Lol. This is one of those things western fandom might be missing out on, due to culture discrepancies. We read Hanako, and it perhaps doesn't stand out next to Natsuhiko as a very girly name. To the point where I don't really blame anyone for not keying into it; it's not so intuitive for us.

I mean, I myself have had to really internalize what the experience of reading the title could be like, for a native speaker. You're looking at Hanako-kun on the title, and then seeing this spooky cursed boy sitting on a toilet. And you're like "-? ? .. ?? Hanako... toilet ghost, but boy-? And, self bondage???" (lol) There's just ah, a different first impression when picking up volume 1, I think.

Now, to get into the in-world reasons for why Amane uses Hanako... Well. The thing is, we haven't actually gotten a very direct explanation on what Amane feels about the name. Feels quite shrouded in mystery still... perhaps, it's not something we'll know the truth of until we are able to learn about what Amane went through that made him become a mystery in the first place. For now, all we can do is infer...

Logically, we can say the name Hanako comes from the rumor of "Hanako-san", which is something that could have existed before Amane even died. The mysteries can be swapped out by other individuals, as we see with Mitsuba, who becomes the new "Hell of Mirrors". It seems the rumor itself doesn't suddenly change, despite Mitsuba being a wholly different person. And, beyond that, perhaps there was a different entity before that tengu that was the Hell of Mirrors... etc. So, a possible explanation is that the name Hanako was one that Amane inherited once he became No. 7.

Though, we do have examples of mysteries with titles that allude to their specific circumstance... such as the Misaki Stairs and Shijima-san of the Art Room. Questions that arise from this are: If a kaii replaced Yako or Shijima, would the rumor stay the same? What were the rumors for No. 2 and No. 4 before theirs existed? Were there any at all...? I suppose, we don't know how long there have been 7 mysteries guarding the school. In any case... I wouldn't totally rule out the possibility that Amane himself is the origin of the Hanako-san rumor. For whatever reason, his actions in the past might have created Hanako-san. Shijima-san's rumor is a product of misinformation about Mei's death, so it might not have been Amane's choice how people perceived certain events.

I try and keep my mind open to the possibility, at least... though, if you want my personal opinion, I'm leaning more towards the former. I assume that Amane just inherited the role of No. 7, and the rumor associated with it was Hanako-san. The reason is... before meeting Nene, I'm not sure who else would even be calling him Hanako-? The mysteries are relatively distant from one another, and typically refer to one another by their numbers. I would say Tscuhigomori is the mystery that knows Amane the most personally, and deep down, I think Tsuchigomori simply sees Amane as... Yugi Amane. To Tsuchigomori, Amane is the same as when he knew him in life; he's been frozen in place here, never moving on. Tsukasa meanwhile knew Amane best, ostensibly, and was close with him through most of his life... and only ever calls him Amane.

I'm of the belief that Amane himself, does not closely identify with the name Hanako, before meeting Nene. I think it was a business name... I think it was even, kinda funny, like, Lol, girl's name... sure. He's amicable to wearing thigh highs and letting Nene dress up his hair, nor does he really fret about being gender-swapped, so it's not like having a "girl's name" would bother him much. It must feel very inconsequential...? He's only being regarded as Hanako-san on the rare occasion a soon-to-be-dead student summons him. Otherwise, he's Nanaban-sama to his co-workers... and internally, I think he's Amane... er, in a compulsive way-? Like, he can't control this remnant of his past life... Tricky, since there is a bit of compartmentalization happening; I do think Amane thinks of "Yugi Amane" as having died and no longer "really" existing beyond that death... What he is now, is something different and unrecognizable (... or, so he thinks.) At that point of dehumanization, he probably doesn't regard his current self with any name. Maybe he is just, a kaii, a mononoke, a murderer... etc.

Upon befriending Nene... I think that Amane wasn't taking their relationship so seriously. Her referring to him as Hanako-kun was kind of cute, funny, novel. He WAS obfuscating his identity, after all, so maybe it was ideal for her to see him this way. (Amane himself wouldn't have even let Nene know he killed someone in the past, let alone his real name...) So, performing as Hanako became something he does specifically for Nene's sake. This comes packaged with representing the mysteries as more close than they are, his job as more heroic than it really is, etc. I would say at this point, Amane starts to imagine a divide between Amane, living boy, and Hanako, the ghost that came after.

However, over time, the identity of Hanako-kun became more sentimental than Amane would ever have chosen. This was never supposed to be... more than, a flimsy front, a mask he wears, your silly bathroom ghost friend. That's why he's confused in Picture Perfect, with Nene's insistence that Amane-kun is the same as Hanako-kun. These should be separate things — Amane shouldn't be the same as Hanako! But... of course, they are, because he's the same as ever...

Haha, it's all kind of convoluted, but I like how much it makes one reflect on identity... Whether you personally identify with something or not, the urge to split yourself up, but also the way that you're always... yourself, even after things change... *wiggles fingers* Pretty cool, right? Often in posts, I'm kind of wrestling with how to refer to Amane, and how to keep things consistent enough to not be suuuper confusing... but it's hard! The names Amane and Hanako can be useful in tandem. It's such a Vibes thing, at times.

I typically default to Amane when referring to him as... the character, the entity of Amane, across many worlds/timelines. The entire history of the character, is "Amane" to me. Whereas I think of Hanako as more specifically encompassing the time he's spent with Nene! It's really Nene that has made Hanako more than just a title... though deep down, ig the real endgame of this would be regarding him as Amane...? [personal blatherings here...] Anyhoo...

We're surely due for more information on this topic someday. My wife has even mused on why the name Hanako is used for him... It's something to really contemplate-!!

Ok so In mitsu condition to be a artificial pure supernatural he has to continuously prey on other supernaturals (just their heart I guess) eating a mystery gives him the power of that mystery but it still a temporary thing to stable his body so he still needs to consume though not just supernaturals but also humans ( doesn’t seem he actually did it thank goodness) mitsu feels ashamed i think 🤔, the kou just straight up state on of those questions of morals the “eating is apart of life, wild animals prey on each other so what’s the difference if we do it”

In the end I love the latest chapter and I guess we still need to wait on kou’s actual resolve

I'll break your question down into parts so I can answer it better.

Ok so In mitsu condition to be a artificial pure supernatural he has to continuously prey on other supernaturals (just their heart I guess) eating a mystery gives him the power of that mystery but it still a temporary thing to stable his body so he still needs to consume though not just supernaturals but also humans ( doesn’t seem he actually did it thank goodness)

Yes, Mitsuba must eat their hearts. The fact that he can eat people is really scary and it's a miracle that he holds back and manages, only because of Kou he was at the limit. He hasn't hurt any humans, apparently, but he can do it, and he's a very dangerous supernatural. He's also dangerous because he can skip school, which puts him at greater risk of attacking a human (I'm glad he didn't, okay?). It cannot be trivialized.

mitsu feels ashamed i think 🤔, the kou just straight up state on of those questions of morals the “eating is apart of life, wild animals prey on each other so what’s the difference if we do it” In the end I love the latest chapter and I guess we still need to wait on kou’s actual resolve

Mitsuba may be ashamed, and he certainly is, but it's not only this, Mitsuba is unhappy. He went to Teru to get rid of him, it's a sign that he's unhappy and he doesn't want to live like this and it's a torment for him. I feel very sorry for Mitsuba.

Kou on the other hand acted really desperate… Kou found himself in the same situation as Amane, and his behavior confirmed two things one that he is gay and he finally understood it, I guess… at the very end… the other… sure I can't judge him fully, but I can say one thing.... he's a hypocrite, and that's confirmed in this chapter. You know.. Kou has no right to moralize Amane for what he did to Aoi. Amane at least granted Yashiro's wish, so it's largely her fault, and Kou doesn't mind if Mitsuba ate a human's heart, he'll do anything to save him no matter the cost, as he's shown in this chapter, so he's a hypocrite. But at least I hope he understood how Amane felt facing all of them when they tried to stop him.

I know Kotu is a smart boy and I think he understood, but he is lost.

Have you thought of making fanfics on the other yugioh series other than dm or you just didn’t watch much of them

I've thought about it but that's usually as far as it's gone.

I'm most familiar with DM because that's what I grew up with, what I avidly enjoyed; much like pokemon it was a very big part of my childhood and still is now.

In saying that I did watch and enjoy GX when it first aired and I've watched probably half(??) of 5Ds when that first aired too. Enjoyed that too but there hasn't been a drive for me to write for them as I get with DM.

Hypothetically tho, if I was to write something other than DM it would still include it because I loved the ridiculous shenanigans that Bonds Beyond Time brought in with Yugi, Judai, and Yusei all meeting.

I do want to watch more of the Yugioh series, duel links is making me want to know more about Arc-V and Yuya especially now I do have a pendulum deck lmao and kinda want to retry Sevens at some point if only so I can teach my dueling group rush duels more effectively.

But yeah, it's hard to find a work/life balance that lets me do more in general so hyperfixating on stuff I already know/enjoy is easier.

Although its not largely delved into, there are some GX and 5Ds references in Divine Dragon AU but I don't think we've reached those chapters yet which make mention of it.

It might seem an annoy question but can you pls explain the end chapter of the red house arc I mean did tsukasa befriended IT( that what I call the black void) and he wasn’t able to leave the house so how does he know about the life his sorta clone or was that IT unless I keep reading it but still confused me 😞

This question is not annoying, just very exciting, and I really couldn't wait to answer it for you, but I had to postpone it due to personal matters, so I'm happy to finally be able to do it😆

I see. I think everything about the red house is so weird… and genuinely interesting.

Maybe I'll start with Nene calling it "fake" which I personally don't think Tsukasa with read house is fake. I think Tsukasa from the red house and 13-year-old Tsukasa are the same person.

I don't know where you are with the chapters but I have to give you spoilers. It has been confirmed that Tsukasa is the yroshiro Amane and is its most precious moon. that's why, I think that Tsukasa small and big are the same person, because it is not possible that this "fake Tsukasa" is the most precious moon and the person Amane wants to protect so much. That's why, I also believe that by Kou's words,little Tsukasa returned to his family burning down that red house. He's back, but he's not the same person he was before he disappeared…and he grew up with that thing inside and he died again and he's got that thing inside all the time, but we don't see it in his older version. That's why I don't consider the older Tsukasa a clone

I don't think he's made friends with that weird black hole in him. Tsukasa became more like a carrier of this thing. But it's also possible that it was the only thing he could talk to…Friendship is too strong a word, more like comrades… this thing probably uses Tsukasa. That's why I think don't make friends and after such a short interaction they don't look like they are friends. The red house knows people's desires, so this thing didn't tell him about his life. He just decided to come back after Kou's words to know what would happen and why. This black hole doesn't read the future, but human desires, it knows what someone wants to manipulate. I think so.. he knew that Tsukasa wanted to go home, that it became his desire, it makes sense. This thing… this house can read people's desires. Even as a ghost, Tsukasa is no exception.The second option could be that they got to know each other enough that he knows what Tsukasa wants to do, but they are not friends, that's too strong a word for me.

Tsukasa knew nothing.. nothing… he thought Amane had a great life without him..

It wasn't until Kou tells him how it really is and he was really shocked.Tsukasa was saying what he thought… not what the reality was. He didn't know the reality.

I find this whole arc interesting and confusing too. Unfortunately I don't have any other explanations at this time.. AidaIro can surprise :), so I know that they will surprise us more than once.I'm waiting for more tips :)

I'm honestly not sure if this thing can see the future or not. AidaIro can invent literally anything.

Edit:

In short. I believe that Tsukasa 13 years old and Tsukasa from the red house are the same person. The thing…. in him I don't think they're friends, more like comrades… Tsukasa is the bearer of this thing… for me… As for the future. Tsukasa sees what the human heart desires and uses it, he even knows exactly when that wish will come true, that means he knows the future of the wish when it is supposed to come true. This thing is too mysterious to say anything… It's possible that this thing knows the future, but Tsukasa isn't talking about it… I have no idea… well… let's see what AidaIro will do. I'm not sure of anything :)

Thanks for the ask
