CATDOLL: The plot of the animation "Osomatsu-kun" prompts the audience to imagine that the story takes place in the afterlife?

The new October anime "Osomatsu" was remade to commemorate the 80th birthday of Japanese manga master Akatsuka Fujio. It is very popular with its nonsensical jokes and unlimited spoofs. However, this funny work that brings joy to everyone has caused Japanese netizens to research it after the latest episode was broadcast. Some even suspected that the setting of the story is very heavy...

The secret is hidden in the details of the latest episode of the animation "Jiusumatsu is in love" (戀する十宿松) broadcast in Japan in the early morning of December 1. In this episode, Juisumatsu, who loves baseball very much, suddenly stopped playing baseball, but even so, he still runs out every day, which makes the brothers very worried. After secretly following him, the brothers were surprised to find that Juisumatsu was dating a super cute girl!

Although they didn't know what was going on, seeing that Shishimatsu was so happy, the brothers also silently protected Shishimatsu's love. Unexpectedly, one day Shishimatsu was dumped... After being dumped, Shishimatsu revealed that the opportunity for him to meet the girl was because the girl happened to save Shishimatsu who was drowning at the beach when she wanted to commit suicide. Although it seems that the girl saved Shishimatsu, the girl was also saved by Shishimatsu at the same time. Just when the grand pure love story was about to unfold, the girl decided to return to her hometown and had to say goodbye to Shishimatsu.

This seemingly everyday, sweet and sour touching story made the audience exclaim "Why does watching Ah Song make me want to cry?" However, sharp-eyed netizens discovered that some details were not right!

First, the seaside cliff where Jushimatsu met the girl, netizens found the words "self-determination (suicide)" faintly on the cliff. At that time, the girl's left wrist was already bandaged, and she might have tried to cut her wrist.

When Jushisong rushed to the station to say goodbye to the girl, netizens found that the name of the station was also strange:

Station sign with "さいはて"

The train's destination is written in katakana as "さいはて", which means "last" or "end". Even for the terminal, it is really incredible to use such a straightforward name. After careful consideration, netizens came to a surprising conclusion - in fact, "Osomatsu" is a story that takes place in the afterlife!

The story would then become about a girl who attempted suicide and fell into an unconscious state, and her soul came to this world between life and death and met Jushimatsu...If this is true, then where would "Saihate" be that the girl took the car to at the end of the story?

Netizens have different opinions on this point. Some believe that the girl decided to die and took a train from this world where souls stay to the real afterlife. The girl's color turned green when she was seen off at the station, which made them more convinced of this argument. Others think that the girl must have ignited hope after meeting Jushimatsu, so she took the train back to the "real world" to continue living. Moreover, after getting on the train, the girl's color turned into a more stable brown, which is evidence that the girl survived in the end.

Of course, some people think that all this is just overthinking, but netizens firmly believe that there is another piece of evidence to support the claim that "the girl is dead." That is -- the girl's voice actor is the bento professional "Kuajima Houko"!

Regardless of whether the story setting of "Osomatsu" is as netizens speculate, what is certain is that the second season of the animation will also accompany the audience through countless happy hours. As for this mysterious setting in this episode, will the production team provide more evidence to support it later? Let's wait and see.
