^ OMG. If that did happen, Yukio would probably unload a clip into the laptop screen.
Whatever Lightning does, it is not for Yukio's or Bon's benefit. Yukio's actions and closed-off demeanor have told Lightning that Yukio is concealing something big. That's when Lightning gave Renzou instructions and Yukio the flashdrive.
Lightning will probably continue his investigation via proxy using Bon. However, he can't drag information out of Yukio when he's in custody. So he'll give Yukio what he has and can use Renzou to provoke a disclosure of what Yukio's hiding. After all, the drive won't tell Yukio what he really wants. Nothing we've learned in following Bon and Lightning has explained the blue eye incidents. All we've learned is that Yukio and Rin have extra heritage from the Azazel host clones.
Its so odd after so many years (well, maybe just 3 or 4...) of saying," This'll be the chapter Yukio finally snaps!" And now, here we are!
It's been 6-7 years. I've been talking about Yukio snapping since chapter 16. The moment Toudou showed up was the moment I knew I was into this manga for the long haul. Ah, those were the days. I used to have big arguments with Anya back then. I insisted Yukio would snap big time in the Kyoto arc, while she insisted that Yukio wouldn't break and that whole trope would never come to pass. I'm happy to report that both of us were wrong.
Like I'm not sure how to say it properly but from the start there was this layer to him that was artificial and fake and you knew that over time it'd all come undone sorta? Anyway, I originally thought Toudou would be more involved in the process of Yukio snapping, and I miss him. now lightning is responsible for the rlly gay rlly awkward scenes i love
I love it. Yukio is every bit the aggressive asshole that I thought he was. Usually the smart glasses character archetype is supposed to be the cool calm one, more prone to acting creepy, cold or distant. Instead Yukio's full of rage and aggression.
Toudou will show up, and he brings the rly gay all-but-subtext wherever he goes. Hell, he did it in his two-minute appearance at the end of Aomori, with just saying "I like/love Yukio". Viz kinda de-gayed that translation.
i swear to god i'm not a toukio fan... *quietly sweeps one of her favorite fanfics under a table*[size]
Then that's stupid. Yukio is very lucky that Lightning seems trying to get him cooperate for some reason. (I wonder if Lightning has this idea for a while or just after Bon told him Yukio's behavior) Otherwise Yukio might be questioned and the blue eye might be discovered. I thought Yukio would at least put on his famous fake smile to act like everything is normal, unless Yukio doesn't care if he will be in trouble anymore.
Yukio doesn't even understand how he threatened Bon. He was just as shocked as Bon when he realized what he was doing. So Yukio's in denial about that even happening. Thus, his insane/angry expression when Lightning went "yo, so you threatened my apprentice with a gun?" He couldn't even muster the discipline to do his fake smile.
