For those interested in reading along with the manga, Episode 11 adapted all of chapter 30, the first seven pages of chapter 31 (7/32 pages), pages five-through-fifteen of chapter 34 (11/34 pages), and minus the last five pages, nearly all of chapter 35 (23/28 pages). This is equivalent to about 2.36 chapters of manga. For those curious why chapters 32-33 and the remaining parts of chapters 31 and 34 have been skipped, it is because those were all parts of the manga focusing solely on Kiruko and Maru’s side of the narrative (meaning those parts of the manga are going to be adapted over the course of episodes 12 and 13). In case anyone was confused by what Kona meant that he had “synchronized” with Tokio, we’re meant to understand that he basically psychically experienced Tokio’s pain of childbirth labor along with her. Ishiguro, the mangaka, has also noted in interviews that Kona being debilitated in the aftermath of said pain while Tokio wasn’t, was intentional commentary on his part on how most women are expected to and do deal with much greater physical pain (specifically noting the regular pain of menstruation and childbirth) in their lives than most cis men do. If anyone had trouble following what The Director’s plans were, to put it simply it was this: The director plans on eventually transplanting her brain into the child of Tokio and Kona. However, as Dr. Sawatari states, in order for the brain transplant surgery to work, the body the new brain is being transplanted into needs to be at least 13-15 years old. But as The Director herself notes, due to her old age, she may not have another 13-15 years to live. Thus in order to deal with the issue of 13-15 year wait, The Director plans to first transplant (non-consensually) her brain into Aoshima’s body (the recently appointed vice-director). Dr. Sawatari obviously has some reservations about The Director’s plans, so it should be little surprise to see later in the episode that he has apparently been plotting something with Aoshima behind The Director’s back. Also during the conversation between The Director and Dr. Sawatari, the initial part of the conversation (where they discussed the proto-type of what is obviously the Kiru-Beam and 8 “soldiers” that will wield them) was an anime pseudo-original addition. As the information that was discussed said scene was originally depicted in chapter 24 of the manga (which would have been around episode 9 of the anime). And for those curious, the large painting hanging in the background of The Director’s office is meant to resemble (or be) an iconic painting (“Searching the Seas with the Tenkei”) by Kobayashi Eitaku that depicts a pair of well known Shinto creator-Gods, Izanagi and Izanami, who are perhaps most well-known for creating the Japanese islands in Shinto mythology. The Heavenly Delusion series in general has actually included many Shinto mythology references in it. Most notably, many of the Takahara Academy students’ names are references to various Shinto mythological figures. And the name “Hiruko” (the term Maru uses to refer to Man-Eaters) in Shinto mythology is one of the names of a Japanese god (also known as a “Kami”) called “Ebisu”. The god Hiruko/Ebisu in Shinto mythology is known for being one of the children of Izanagi and Izanami (specifically their first one), and that Hiruko/Ebisu’s birth was considered “cursed” in a sense, noted in myths for being born without bones (apparently due to some transgression of his parents). Mīna’s (the pregnant robot A.I.) main body head/helmet also has the number-letter code i373 printed on it, which apparently is some sort of reference in Japanese to the name Izanami (the female creator-god of the pair), which is fitting since Mīna apparently “birthed” all the Takara Academy students (i.e. the Hiruko). Ohma, the 5th year girl who traumatized Mimihime this episode, her powers are indeed meant to be the same as the Man-Eater that hypnotized Kiruko in the car-basement of the Immortal Order’s building during episode 7. The implications that can be drawn from that should be relatively obvious (same with the significance of the images that flashed through Mimihime’s mind before she passed out). When Mimihime explained her powers in the manga, she also mentioned that she would get premonitions and psychic impressions of the past as well in addition to the future. And for anyone curious and/or with a fuzzy memory, we have not seen Kona’s Man-Eater form prior in the series (yes it has some similarities to the Man-Eater that half-ate Haruki in episode 3, but the design of Kona’s Man-Eater is still distinctly different from that one). And finally, at the beginning of the episode, immediately after Tokio gives birth, we are shown a scene with Dr. Sawatari and her (single) baby. Later in the episode Dr. Sawatari is shown with two (apparently identical) babies. Those with keen-eyes may have noticed that the cribs the two babies are sleeping in are labeled with the names “Tokio Jr.” and “Jr. C” respectively. I will leave anyone familiar enough with science-fiction genre stories to figure out what that likely means. For anyone curious in regards to how much specific time has passed during the Takahara Academy storyline, Tokio and Kuku snuck-out to see the “faceless babies” on July 1st, Ten’ei 17; and as stated in episode 11 the date of meeting Mīna had with all the Takahara Academy students gathered at the pool occurred on July 20th, Ten’ei 18. So a little more than a year has passed between those two events. Also in regards to the biological/wet squelching sounds heard when Mīna (seemingly) shuts-down/off at the end of episode 11, even current caught-up manga-readers still don’t know what those sounds were and/or meant. And a content warning for the next episode of Heavenly Delusion. Episode 12 will contain some intense scenes of graphic content, so anyone sensitive to that sort of material should prepare themselves before watching it. And if anyone is interested in starting the manga after this season is finished (it is currently planned to adapt the majority or all of tankōbon Volume 6 of the manga, likely somewhere in the range of chapters 36-37), I personally would still recommend starting the manga from the beginning regardless, as in addition to the standard cutting of extra dialogue and scenes from the anime for run-time and cinematic pacing, the chapter titles and cover pages of the manga also play a role in experiencing the foreshadowing of the story that the anime can’t quite replicate (due to the inherent difference in mediums). The mangaka of Heavenly Delusion, Masakazu Ishiguro (who is active on Twitter), their most well known previous work is “And Yet the Town Moves” (also known as Soremachi), which was serialized from 2005-2016. They have also done a number of other single volume manga and short stories collections. Ishiguro's has also stated that the major influences for the Heavenly Delusion series, include the works Akira, Armored Trooper Votoms, and an old Japanese science-fiction novel titled "Dogra Magra" that was written Kyūsaku Yumeno (who appears as a character in Bungo Stray Dogs) and published in 1935.
I don't know who you are, but your comments are always a joy to read. You manage to put so much information and details that the rest might have missed and also add content to understand better the meaning of some aspects of the series, all the while carefully avoiding any spoiler and or giving too much information. It shows that you really like Heavenly Delusion and makes me more invested in the series. Honestly I was taken by surprise by the anime. After the first trailer and/or announcement (I don't remember well), I was really excited about what I thought this would be about: two people exploring a post-apocalyptic world. The idea really hooked me and I was eagerly waiting for more info. Then the rest of the trailers came out and I have to admit I was a bit disappointed with the whole monsters and AI overlord thing, I wasn't expecting a story like that at all. And then again, as the episodes started coming out, I was proven wrong again. After being amazed and then disappointed, everything about the anime started luring me in. The production quality is insane, Kensuke Ushio in the soundtrack delivers and as the story slowly unravels you can only count the seconds before the next episode comes out. A big part of what makes Heavenly Delusion so special to me so far is the mystery of everything that happened and how things ended like this, so I really hope that as the story progresses there will still be some questions left unanswered so we can be left to wonder. That is what happens to me after every episode, I scratch my head for a while trying to process everything that happened and connecting the dots so things start to make sense. Anyways, I can say that Heavenly Delusion has slowly risen to be one of my favorite anime. There are some that have a special place in my heart and can't be moved easily, but this one could give some a run for their money if it keeps delivering such an amazing story. I'm probably going to check out the manga once the season ends. Once again, thank you stranger for making this experience better, and I'll be waiting for your comment in the next two episodes. Also, I can't forget to thank Allied Anime for uploading the best reactions to Heavenly Delusion, I really like this group of reactors. I will pray to the gods of UA-cam so that these videos never get taken down
Next 2 episodes gonna be crazy. Spoiler!! I still hate how Hiruko stopped Maru form beaing up or killing Robin in the manga that shit pissed me off seeing it. Like one hit is not enough at all. Why defend him. Idgaf how long you've known him he deserves no mercy. And he used to sleep with his sister when she was like 15 and they grew up together thats why he went after her now. Which is statutory rape and his sister no matter how much she looked up to him shouldve never done that shit with Robin. Obviously Robin went with it cuz hes a piece of shit and hes also the one who shot her im pretty sure.
