Hi!!~ i’m Bonski, but those close to me call me Bon, and i’ve been a TBHK fan for around 4 years! I’ve made Oc’s for the anime and even created my own story to go along with the plot. I thought i’d create an official tumblr account for me to use as a sort of diary for my TBHK theories and just to info dump about my TBHK au’s lore (contains OC X CANON pre-warning) , which is available to read on Wattpad. I’ve put my Wattpad users name in my socials so you should be able to find it on my account. c:

The theories I share may mostly be about the Yugi Twins or specifically Tsukasa, as I find him the most intriguing and complex character in the manga series (imo). Not only that but my 12 yr old self had a large crush on him. Although i’ve grown out of the crush now..he’s still a huge comfort character for me! ^^

Tsukasa's Mindset & Love

Tsukasa's Mindset

Tsukasa merged with the pit god at the very early age of 4. He lost part of his humanity after that, so he didn't fully develop that human side of him.

Also, the fact that he was in the Red House alone with the pit god that granted wishes, affected him because the pit god also gave him what he wanted without limits, as shown in this cover. There are donuts, pizza, desserts, sodas and lots of unhealthy foods scattered all around. It also displays an interesting text: "Disintegrated childhood".

Notice the difference in the state of his toys before and after he merged with the pit god. The most telling is his stuffed bear. Compare it to the state of his bear in the previous picture. It's also a clue of the change he suffered because of the pit god. He started to mutilate his toys. It may be a clue of "not holding back".

Tsukasa didn't feel the need to stick to human moral convictions and emotions because when he merged with the pit god, the nature of that god mixed with himself and he learned that no matter what, people should get what they want, no matter if that wish and the means of obtaining it, are wrong or right.

During the time he was in the Red House, Tsukasa didn't have restrictions to what he could get, in this case, food he liked. He also watched people sacrifice others, even loved ones, to obtain their wishes (because he even mentioned that there was an entire family that was trapped in the Red House). Tsukasa's mindset was deeply affected by it.

He didn't learn that even if someone had a wish, it didn't always mean that they were going to sacrifice others to obtain it. Only Kou was the one who taught him that by resisting what the Red House offered to him, and when he basically told Tsukasa that he didn't want any of his wishes granted and that he learned to live like that. He didn't want to sacrifice Nene even if it would give him what he desired the most.

Then Tsukasa called Kou weird because of that. So, of all the people who got in the Red House, Kou was the only one who resisted the desires of his heart.

On the other hand, Kou also taught Tsukasa that people don't just want their wishes granted, that there's also a moral and love aspect related to them, a human side of it. That even if it's human to wish for things, it's also human to "hold back" because of love and morals.

Kou also made him see that he didn't know everything about his brother, he made Tsukasa see the human complexity in emotions, thoughts and morals that Tsukasa didn't understand. Kou reinforced this when he told Tsukasa that Amane was going to kill him and kill himself.

Tsukasa didn't understand this complexity because he was innocent, he was always pure, transparent and straightforward, so he thought that when someone did something or say something, it was that way, with no hidden meanings. That's why he believed with all his heart that Amane hated him based on his words, actions and the jealousy Amane showed to him because Tsukasa had a healthier body.

We don't know very much about the way he was when he was 12-13 years old, but Tsukasa and Amane seemed to get along. They had a good relationship after Tsukasa returned to his family. I think that he believed in Kou's words through all those years, that he didn't know everything about his brother and watching Amane for many years, he learned more about human morals, thoughts and emotions. Also Tsukasa seemed to be popular at school and outgoing, contrary to Amane. It didn't seem that the entity affected his school life.

However, we still don’t know how the entity continued to shape his actions and thoughts after he returned to his family. But I think the entity kept on having a very strong influence on him in this aspect.

Now, taking into account all of the previous things about Tsukasa's set of morals and how the entity influenced them, let's talk about the way he thinks about supernaturals.

Tsukasa thinks that if a human becomes a supernatural, they're still themselves. No matter if their memories, humanity or part of their soul is lost. I believe he, experiencing the merge with the pit god, he knows he's still himself, despite not being fully human.

For example, in Mitsuba's case, Tsukasa said that he still had Mitsuba's soul at his core with the difference that he lost part of his soul and that he didn't have his human memories anymore. But Mitsuba is still Mitsuba.

To Tsukasa, a human or supernatural being, they just should be the way they are, without any kind of restrictions.

He thinks that every being should just follow their own nature without "holding back".

Tsukasa accepts the nature of all beings, whether their actions are morally correct or not and whether they're supernaturals or not. The most important thing for him is that everyone gets what they wish for regardless of consequences, if they're willing to pay the price.

In general, Tsukasa doesn't care about what's wrong or right. All beings, humans or supernaturals, "shouldn't hold back" in their morals and desires because all beings are "the way they are" and they just should follow their own nature. All beings should be "true to themselves".

Now, the story has led us to come to the conclusion that Tsukasa is still Tsukasa even if he lost part of his humanity after merging with the pit god, and even if he became a yorishiro.

For example, it was confirmed that when he was alive, Tsukasa wasn't possessed. And after dying and becoming a yorishiro, it also can be observed that Tsukasa is himself because he loves his brother despite everything, also in the way he reminisces about the past with a nostalgic face and like when he was 4 years old, before he merged with the pit god, he still thinks that Amane hates him.

We still don't have much information about the way he was when he was alive, but I have the theory that after becoming a yorishiro, he lost more of that human side of himself. For example, when he was about to crash Nene against the floor, he had to remind himself that "he's supposed to be nice to girls". He had to remind himself of the way he "should" act.

After dying, that "not holding back" mindset became stronger because of his supernatural side and also because of the conflict he has with Amane.

Tsukasa's Love

Tsukasa's love at it's peak, is shown with Amane. He wanted his brother to become healthy and have a normal life. His wish was selfless and in order to get that wish granted by the pit god, he sacrificed himself.

When he returned to his family, he still loved his brother very much, despite thinking that Amane hated him. He never cared about how Amane felt about him or if he had to sacrifice himself for Amane, he just wanted Amane's wellbeing because he loves his brother more than anyone.

Even when Amane killed him, gave up the life Tsukasa sacrificed for, it created a conflict between them and Tsukasa resents Amane because of his selfishness, this is what he said at the end of the day, it didn't affect the love he feels for his brother. He doesn't care if Amane's actions were wrong or right, he still loves his dark side:

Tsukasa's love is selfless and unconditional. A love that accepts all the good and bad sides of Amane. To Tsukasa, it doesn't matter if Amane loves him too, he even accepts that "Amane hates him". Tsukasa just loves Amane and accepts everything about him.

Even he feels closeness to people who loves Amane too (Nene). He was eager to share information about Amane with Nene (Maybe that’s why she sometimes travels to the past and he encouraged her to fix the clock so he can show her everything about Amane's past?). So, he likes to talk about his brother despite believing Amane hates him.

His love is so big, that even most of us believe that the reason behind the destruction of the yorishiros, is to grant his brother's true wish at the cost of himself. He doesn't care if he disappears so that his brother could get what he truly wishes for.

So, his love is unshakeable. Nothing has ever changed in this aspect, because even when Tsukasa was killed by his beloved brother, became his yorishiro, called for his brother without receiving an answer and still believes that he hates him, he's still willing to die, to sacrifice himself for Amane's wish.

Conclusion

Tsukasa's morals and his point of view on supernaturals don't depend on what's right or wrong. He believes that humans and supernaturals should follow their own nature and give into their own desires because to him, by doing so, they're staying true to themselves. He learned this since he was a little kid because of the pit god and the way people acted and it influenced his mindset. In spite of this, Kou's words also influenced him and helped Tsukasa see these things in a human way, regarding love and morals. Also the entity kept influencing his mindset as he grew up but there's no enough information about the way Tsukasa was when he was alive.

His love is selfless and self-sacrificial. He's someone who gives everything, his very existence, for his loved ones, and he doesn't care whether his love is reciprocated because his love is unconditional. He's not afraid to give up his very being for his loved ones if it means they're going to be happy.

I have such a strong connection with Tsukasas character. Something draws me to him completely. At first I didn’t know what it was. Maybe the mystery behind him and his character? But it’s actually the fact that he’s the most tragic and complex out of everyone in tbhk (imo).

Think of the feeing you get when you think of your childhood. Nostalgia. That empty, gnawing ache in your gut at the thought of never being a pure being again. Imagine that while going through what Tsukasa did at 4 years old.

I’m unsure if this is just my strong empathy talkinv.. but thats the best way i can describe how i feel when i dive into him as a character.

The thought he probably didnt really grasp the idea that Amane was too sick and near death due to his age until Amane lashed out at him. He wanted his brother to be happy.

He lost himself at a young age. He’s still him but not quite and it’s hard to tell if he knows that or not. And now that he’s seen what’s happened to his future, what Amane did to him, what Amane thinks of him. We never know how Tsukasa is feeling, but surely it’s not always positive.

The absolute tragedy of his character. A child. Practically a baby, discovering his brother that he’d wished so hard would live..ended up killing him in the future, along with himself. All of his hard work gone. All wasteful.
