I like the detail this episode on how Yamamotos fur gets more and more disheveled as time goes on. Guy just wanted his idol band to succeed so badly and life just sucker punched those plans hard

Kung Food posted:Original Yuki wears a teal top with a thin yellow collar, doesn't have bangs and one spike of fur on each cheek. New Yuki wears a green jacket with a puffy collar, has bangs and two spikes of fur on each cheek. Girl in the convivence store camera is pretty clearly the original. You're right about the clothing, good catch. Still think Wadagaki is the killer. I don't think Odokawa has been contacted by the police, excepting Big Daimon, Dobu said the Yuki wasn't in the dash cam footage and Odokawa's "It's not her." Odokawa drove Wadagaki that night, someone else drove Yuki and everyone's been getting thing's mixed up.

I'm wondering why everyone's so desperate to get at the dashcam footage. If it shows Yuki going to the building she was murdered in, that's extremely awkward for Yamamoto but the other yakuza would be more indifferent. If it shows Wadagaki going there, then the footage means nothing except to Yano and his gang (and Yamamoto) because it isn't generally known where Yuki was murdered. Do they perhaps want the footage so that they can identify the killer? Alternative possibility: Yuki didn't get the taxi alone, and someone else was with her. That someone else would be incredibly desperate to make sure the footage didn't get out.

Qwertycoatl posted:I'm wondering why everyone's so desperate to get at the dashcam footage. I imagine the reason why the yakuza wants the footage because is if it shows Yuki going to the building, then the police can tie her disappearance to Rui, since there is text proof that she called Yuki out there. From Rui, the police can tie in Yamamato, who is willing to sell out Yano to save his own neck. And while none of them killed Yuki, they would all be implicated because they did dispose of her body. And who would believe that they only hid the body, but didn't actually kill her? It's a very precarious thread that can ensnare all of them if they aren't careful. As for the identity of Yuki's killer, I don't think Yamamoto has a strong motive to do so. The most important thing for him is Mystery Kiss's success. Killing Yuki would do nothing besides putting him into debt with the Yakuza, which jeopardizes the idols' future. I don't think any of the characters we've seen so far have a good motive, either. The exception would be Sakura, so she could kill and replace the real Yuki. That seems like a stretch to me, but anything is possible.

I suspect there probably is one or two extra details related to the dashcam we aren't yet privy to, but I think the show made it clear why everyone wants the dashcam footage by now. It was suggested that the reason team Yano wants the dashcam footage so badly is essentially to tie up loose ends, and that's completely believable. If nobody knows that real Yuki was at the station that night that means it's less likely the finger will be pointed at Mystery Kiss or the people around it which is good for Yamamoto as it protects the group he cares about and good for Yano because he's getting a massive cut of their profits. Furthermore, if that was the fake Yuki that's also very valuable to know because it casts suspicion on her which both yakuza teams either want or should want. Remember that Donraku is old friends with the boss, and it would be a feather in the cap for whoever figures out who murdered his daughter. Dobu was specifically called on to find out what happened to her but didn't know she had been murdered at the time and therefore probably doesn't realize how valuable the camera footage actually is. Remember, the official story was just that she went missing. Aside from the four we knew were at the studio tonight, nobody else knew she was dead until they found her body. And while the show is being a little bit coy, on reflection it's pretty likely at this point that the girl he drove was the fake Yuki. Dobu says flat out that the girl Odokawa drove was NOT Yuki, just someone who looks like her. Meanwhile, Odokawa identifies her as the girl from Mystery Kiss, which makes sense since when he was later introduced to her it was as "Mitsuya Yuki", a member of Mystery Kiss. Likely his confusion when he saw Yuki on the news was because he genuinely thought Wadagaki was actually Yuki. And if that's the case, there probably aren't any good reasons why she would take a taxi presumably to the studio… The irony is that Dobu has something incredibly valuable and he doesn't even realize it, he is almost certainly sitting on decisive evidence of who killed Yuki which is evidence that his boss would love to have that might also lead to Yano getting caught up in something and humiliated. He already has just about everything he could ask for, he just doesn't realize it because it obsessed with going after more and more. And if that isn't just the show in a nutshell I don't know what is.

Omnicrom posted:You know, they still haven't explained how Shirakawa ended up with his eraser in the first place, unless ditch actually is Dobu like someone suggested. My theory: The eraser was never one-of-a-kind, the seller just only had one. And after it went for a massive amount, got more thinking they'd sell for the same. Young Shirakawa was the other bidder, and got it much cheaper than she was expecting when it 'went back up for sale'.

In the first episode of ODDTAXI the scene where Odokawa talks to his closet is directly followed by the scene where Shirakawa gives him the eraser, and it owns that the spooky impactful one is probably a red herring and the goofy side joke could be the linchpin of the entire series.

I love how many things are coming together in this last bit, the writing in this anime is so very good. After checking out the latest audio drama, there are some real interesting possibilities: Key is the issue of the movements of both cats. It looks like they've given us a few ways to tell the two apart: blue vs greenish eyes, - Yuki with 2 spikes by the ear and 1 by the cheek, and Sakura with only the 2 by the cheek, Yuki's piercing vs Sakura's styled fur. Clothes difference, etc. Dobu basically confirmed that it wasn't Yuki in the taxi. So Sakura took Odagawa's taxi from Nerima. BUT the convenience store footage does show Yuki, and the report in the first episode does have her leaving home around 10pm. I went back and forth but the ear spikes and the plain forehead seals it. And, Yuki, on the phone said she was in Nerima and explicitly would have needed to take a taxi. Does that mean that Sakura was in Nerima on purpose just to hail a taxi - it feels like this can't be a coincidence, and it begs the question of what was how Yuki made it into the office? Unless she was taken in a car while dead, she'd have to find another taxi or vehicle... Besides that though, in the audio dramas there's a one thats focueds on a '2 truths one lie' game between the members of the idol group. In the recent one they pointed out some of the lies. At this point 'I had plastic surgery ', 'i did couch casting' and "i murdered someone' are all potential truths. So I wondered....if Sakura really was a participant in the audition, it'd be pretty weird if she was the spitting image of Yuki - seems to be a thing that would come up. Wouldn't it make more sense if she made herself look like Yuki to be a convenient replacement for the time where Yuki is taken out of the picture? I guess she could be just lying about being part of it. https://imgur.com/a/4Nuq4Bh girl on the right could have been turned into Yuki, it would account for the cheeks and the tuft on the forehead. I have the feeling that Sakura was involved. It's clear she'd would do a lot to get famous because she doesn't think she has other redeeming qualities. Even so, I don't think she's the killer given the cause of death but I think she has something to hide for sure. I'm interested to see how she's connected with Tanaka. Yamamoto definitely knows more too. Also, Yuki has a shocked, scared look when the producer says she should be center, when the show has made it clear that she's otherwise a confident and fearless person. Given the ominous tone they give the pointing, I'm sure this has to be important. It seems like Rui is so worried about losing her spot that she doesn't even check to see if Yuki actually wants to be center, and misses the fact that Yuki clearly isn't happy with the prospect of being center either. Maybe someone worried that instead of hearing Rui's request, Yuki would admit some things of her own given the secret meeting, something that would trouble a 3rd party, and eliminated them.

Looks like I was right that ditch-11 was Dobu and he gave the eraser to Shirikawa. As the thread already knows the reason there was a bullet left is because someone else shot him at the dock. At this point I think it is probably little Daimon, because the other officers saying maybe he was MIA because he fired his side arm (Which unlike American cops is a huge deal and every bullet needs to be accounted for). Turns out that it was Tanaka that had the phone/bug planted in Odokawa's taxi after all, but what was his connection to Sakura and how did he know to meet her where she was being picked up? Still unexplained how Shirikawa knew to be in the construction yard to save Odokawa from the manager.

Speculation from most recent ep: I feel like Odokawa knew that there was still a bullet left in the gun. He was covering his ears when Dobu got shot. It might be possible that he covered his ears post-shot on reaction but at that point the sound would already be over so why bother? Does this also indicate that Odokawa expected little Daimon to shoot at the wharf as well? Regardless, this show has been a real gem so far.

^^^^I don't think Odakawa would have reacted to Dobu getting shot like that if he knew there was still a bullet in the gun. This was a series I took a flyer on just as the Spring started and HOOOOLY balls what a ride. If they stick the landing it'll be one of the year's best.

beyond being old friends with Kuroda (tapir yakuza boss) i don't think there's been any solid tie but maybe confusingly, Kuroda affectionately calls him Don-chan instead of Donraku. so you could think of a mafia don?

What I like about this show is that it is so rewatchable because so much pops out at you with stuff that hints at the future. From episode 1, when we are first introduced to Odokawa and his cab.  Same duck as what little Diamon showed to his brother. Watching more it shows up pretty often but I never noticed it until this episode rewatches. I always thought it was weird how the Diamons had a pre-established relationship with Odokawa but I guess that explains it.
