• 0:02
  What's up, y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
• 0:05
  talk, I'm your host, Robert. And today, we're going to talk
• 0:10
  through our feelings, my feelings on blood and blood on
• 0:17
  the tracks. So I just read through basically
• 0:22
  volumes over to be a nine through eleven, which would have
• 0:26
  ended on chapter 98. So, Why mr.
• 0:33
  Hiroshi me was. Was this face not enough for
• 0:39
  you? Was this one out of there for
• 0:41
  you. Many of y'all.
• 0:42
  Remember when I did my my first review, but on the tracks back
• 0:46
  on Mother's Day. And I read through volumes 1
• 0:50
  through a, I had mentioned how this face just kind of always
• 0:57
  stuck with me back when I first picked up the manga months and
• 1:00
  months before I even read it as so I find I've done or whatever
• 1:06
  and as I read through these chapters, especially in like the
• 1:10
  back half of of Of this stretch, whatever.
• 1:17
  Lots of awesome panels loss of one that just was just like,
• 1:20
  wow, that looks really cool, but Mr. O'Shea me.
• 1:26
  Did you really have to do this? Did you really have to give us
• 1:30
  the same face? Of mother and son.
• 1:38
  Why? Why why, why did you do this?
• 1:42
  But so, the lead up to that face and everything that happened
• 1:49
  afterwards was very interesting because, as you, all may
• 1:54
  remember, you know, at the end of Y, where I last left off, The
• 2:01
  mom pretty much had confessed to pushing the nephew off of the
• 2:05
  cliff and almost killing him. And so we pick up where they
• 2:09
  left off and you know she confesses to it pretty much has
• 2:15
  little too little to no remorse. Not not little No Remorse.
• 2:19
  She's like yeah, I did it and get carted off to the police,
• 2:24
  and she is, she's in jail / going through a psych
• 2:28
  evaluation. So this is our boy, I was get
• 2:32
  his name wrong, I say G of course with lots of mixed
• 2:36
  feelings, but eventually kind of kind of comes to realize that
• 2:40
  like he's his own person makes his own decisions and stuff.
• 2:43
  And so, just saying that batch of that stretch to where he's
• 2:48
  kind of like mentally trying to overcome Just all the trauma
• 2:55
  from his whole life and also kind of like reflecting and kind
• 3:01
  of piecing together some memories that he kind of like
• 3:03
  locked away of like hey when he was three years old and his mom
• 3:06
  freaking toss them off a cliff or down a hill, I guess
• 3:10
  whatever. But still you know you're just
• 3:12
  like wow you know his memory that kind of like lock that
• 3:15
  away. And so just saying go through
• 3:18
  that and then like him reconnecting with with this
• 3:23
  girl. Friend, I'll call his
• 3:25
  girlfriend, but the girl he likes and then of course the
• 3:28
  dad, you know, he's kind of in a tough spot or whatever.
• 3:34
  But, you know, he's still just going to work and stuff and just
• 3:36
  can't just leaving. Say chi by himself, just gonna,
• 3:39
  hey, you know what, you don't have to go to school, you can
• 3:41
  kind of just do just chill. Do what you need to do to get
• 3:44
  yourself together. So we go through all that stuff,
• 3:47
  whatever. And of course, there's lots of
• 3:49
  police interrogation stuff in between but Things kind of sort
• 3:55
  of the wrap up again. One, of course, the police come,
• 3:58
  they take him to the scene of the crime and they kind of get
• 4:00
  him to, like, recreate and go through the moments and motions,
• 4:04
  and all that stuff forever. And then little bit later on, we
• 4:10
  have a moment where, you know, some some, some days of past
• 4:16
  whatever. And it's starting to snow said,
• 4:21
  she works up middle of the night like 3 4 a.m. or And walks
• 4:26
  outside just enjoying the snow smile on his face and his cousin
• 4:31
  shows up kind of not all the way there, mentally, whatever
• 4:35
  talking about. Hey, let's go back up to the
• 4:37
  mountain and so of course I just like, no, it's not safe.
• 4:41
  We needed. Let's Get You Inside by his
• 4:43
  cousin. Didn't want to do that.
• 4:45
  His cousin just kept on walking, so he went and followed his
• 4:48
  cousin. And thus, he sort of said she
• 4:52
  started to have basically like a hater.
• 4:54
  Little struggle where he started to see things from his mother's
• 4:59
  perspective where he started to replay the situation.
• 5:06
  The cousin can push off the cliff from his mother's
• 5:08
  perspective. And I've got too much on others
• 5:10
  was triggered because the lawyer or somebody had mentioned that,
• 5:14
  how the mother said that she pushed the cousin because she
• 5:17
  thought that it was her son. And so that's what kind of got
• 5:20
  the wheels turning and say, geez mind a little bit and so bad are
• 5:24
  you? So we end up leading to and
• 5:28
  pushing the cousin off the side of the cliff.
• 5:32
  And giving us that legendary face.
• 5:37
  This one. And and so after that we better
• 5:43
  kind of like cutaway to him waking up and he's thinking like
• 5:48
  man. Wow.
• 5:51
  Luckily that was a dream and he walking through his room and he
• 5:54
  passes by the jacket. And this is the jacket is wet
• 5:58
  and all of a sudden, there's a knock on the door police and
• 6:00
  detectives, they're like, hey so your aunt says, your cousin's
• 6:04
  Gone Missing. Do you know anything and he's
• 6:09
  kind of like a and they look down.
• 6:11
  They see some boots that are wearing like boots are wet.
• 6:16
  You been outside. and like, maybe and they're like, what do
• 6:26
  you mean? Maybe he says, I'm about like he
• 6:28
  had a dream and that it'll die than one of the detectives that
• 6:31
  went to his room and was like, hey, there's also a really wet
• 6:36
  jacket in your room which means that you were outside for a
• 6:38
  while. We need to talk, he basket tells
• 6:41
  him like what happened or whatever, and long story short,
• 6:45
  he ends up being like okay? Yep here and they go to the
• 6:49
  location, he's like yeah, up and this is where I pushed them and
• 6:52
  they've been Find him find the cousin buried in the snow.
• 6:55
  And that's right for our boys because they're like, huh.
• 7:00
  All right, so you need to come with us and we're going to talk
• 7:05
  and then you're gonna go to juvenile for a while until you
• 7:09
  know, some stuff gets figured out or whatever.
• 7:11
  So now our boy is in juvie which like I said, I did, I did not
• 7:15
  expect that, you know, of course I knew they were going to be
• 7:18
  obviously some twists and turns as it has been so far with this
• 7:21
  series, but him going to juvie All righty man and he's only
• 7:29
  wear like 10 11. No.
• 7:32
  Still pretty young. At least.
• 7:33
  Like if if if I remember his age right?
• 7:35
  I think he's by like 10:00 or 11:00.
• 7:38
  Let me double-check. Okay, my bad, he's 14 or know
• 7:43
  he's about his 13 by 314 because I just looked in his birthday is
• 7:47
  March 19th. 1981, and the event happened on February 10th, 1995.
• 7:54
  So, yeah. So, he's 13 about to be 14 in a
• 7:56
  month, so, but yeah, but still it's like, you know, I might see
• 8:03
  my stuff for me to say this, but it's like it's like I had a
• 8:05
  feeling she was like, with her wildest stories were there like
• 8:07
  probably at some point in time he might end up going to jail.
• 8:10
  Because Eve started or stuff whatever, but I didn't think was
• 8:12
  gonna be like right now, like right?
• 8:14
  After his mom goes to jail, they just lie, all right.
• 8:17
  Yeah. Oh so you finish your mom's job,
• 8:19
  alright? So you don't get locked up to,
• 8:21
  but so, yeah. So that was just wild to see in
• 8:26
  a while spot for for these volumes kind of wrap up on.
• 8:31
  I'm especially because like, as you see that reality of the
• 8:33
  situation sort of sit down he's arriving at the Detention Center
• 8:37
  in the guys basically like all right, strip down naked.
• 8:40
  All right, lift your issues up. All right, bend over.
• 8:43
  We need to inspect you all this. Let me just like, whoa.
• 8:46
  And then, as I write it yourself, here's your schedule.
• 8:49
  Here's what you can and can't do.
• 8:51
  Here's your lawyer. All right?
• 8:53
  We'll be back to check on you and it's just like, man.
• 8:57
  So, yes, I'm very curious to see, like, where things are
• 9:00
  going to go from here. But, but yeah, this was a, a,
• 9:05
  once again, nice and unpredictable stretch of
• 9:09
  chapters, which you I'm kind of enjoying doing bench, reading of
• 9:13
