Kinda yeah. Imposter Syndrome is more often the feeling you don't belong or are stupid when you're perfectly competent at your job.
Shinya goes the extra level of hating himself and thinking his real job is being wasted while his second job is a waste.
>>
>>275185228
Isn't that when you feel like you don't deserve the praise you're getting from what you did? Considering the show only got popular thanks to someone else's writing and not his, this isn't really the case.
Him being praised for his acting, and brushing it off to how writing is his main thing is just his ego trying not to fucking die.

I'm feeling foreshdowed
>>
>>275185303
I find it hard to relate to this guy as a character when he's just completely lost it and doesn't even know what he's doing
>>
>>275185157
Something tells me the divine dragons are also doing something to make Kiritani lose it. Like influencing events or maybe even his dissociation.
>>
>>275185228
Seems more like a split personality. Imposter syndrome is what >>275185284 said.
>>
>>275186017
I always thought Sousei was insane because of the whole clone thing but apparently not. It doesn't surprise me that much though, he's such a wild card that anything could happen. I'm more surprised about Shinya
>>
>>275186118
Yeah he just can't let go of how personally invested he is in his own writing. If he did he wouldn't feel split about reporting Sousei and would probably be happier about the show being a success and his married life. Real "you can't always get what you want" moment.

I wonder who ghostwrote the good parts of GoToubon for Negi.

Kek.

>>
>>275187160
Too much happened that doesn't make much sense without some sort of influence. Maybe too much becoming public gave them more power to do that, and since he was the one who wrote about it that made him more affected.
>>
>>275187160
I mean he went from being a writer to being able to clone humans, some divine intervention must be behind his capabilities.
>>
>>275186118
>>275187642
Yeah going back it's really just clear how full of himself Shinya is, and how incapable me is to accept he's just another mediocre fuck like the rest of us.
And realizing there are not only people better than him, but that has it all to just live a happy life. Yet he refuses from his unrelenting ego.

Love this shit, Shinya's such an interesting character. Relatable in a way, too.
>>
>>275188093
The only other explanation is he could always do anything he ever tried except write well.
>>
shouldn't he be grateful for being considered a great actor?
Who would want to be one of the shitty writing room slaves when you have a literal lead role in an acclaimed TV show?
>>
>>275185157
Bro cracked. In another world, he'd have been a harem protag enjoying quints.
>>
>>275188223
That'd be pretty cruel and funny.
>>
>>275188228
I'm sure there's a term or phrase for this kind of thing but Shinya just had too much ego to accept Sanae mogged him as a writer and acting was his true gig.
His obsession with wanting to be a beloved writer ruined him.
>>
>>275188074
Since the idea of the dragon keepers came from his wife I'm now thinking it was planned all along. Using the image and motifs of the divine dragons in the show gave them a way to spread their influence on the world instead of being confined to the priestesses. Unsure if the wife is in on it.
>>
>>275185303
So what magic thing is going to take his splitting self and make them into two people, one sealed away that D is interacting with and one that is off being Yellow, at the end of this part?
>>
>>275188375
We see that in the raw thread >>275185374
>>
>>275188228
Yes but that's not his passion. He wants so badly to be recognized for his writing and can't let go of it, to his own detriment.

If Sanae didn't exist no tragedies would have happened. It's all her fault.

Also this kind of implies he doesn't coordinate at all with Sanae on her changes which is prolly a both of them issue but its extremely funny.

>>275198451
To be honest, I'm half expecting it to be all a dream but on a crazy Magatia level that the Divine Dragons created.
So when it's all over, D and the other Dusters and Executives will cease to exist, and it'll just go back to "normal," possibly just before Yellow loses his mind.
>>
>>275198132
>An answer without someone to receive it ultimately means nothing
The people receiving it are society, currently D and lastly the reader. Most ultimately went on to accept the reality and glory as a writer that Shinya wanted. Others like Sanae and Chidori chose the opposite with Yellow now serving as another character in Green's master plan.
D is also now being forced to experience all of this thanks to Sakurama and who knows what path D will go down once he actually gets whatever mind shattering answer is at the end of this arc.

>>275198749
You know what, fuck it, I want to see my boy Shinya get the happy ending he was denied so I'd take it.

>>275198791
D is coming out of this revelation calling Shinya a hack writer who couldn't tell a good story to save his life.
>>
>>275198791
I'm looking forward to seeing D's reaction to all this. This is bound to shatter his reality even further.

Wouldnt surprise me, but I expect D to be a random person

She made so many basic mistakes that he lost track of who he was by the end of it.

He could have been recognized as purely a writer if he didn't try to be yellow ranger like Sanae said. And he would have written better scripts, but he spread himself too thin trying to be both, and therefore kinda sucking at both

He got what he wanted, but realized too late that what he wanted wasn't what he wanted each time. He didn't want fame or recognition like he thought, he hated that Sanae was right about him. He had plenty of chances to correct himself but ultimately kept focusing on the wrong thing.
>>
>>275199738
D was created from a young Yakushi. This is now foreshadowed >>275184980
>>
>>275185157
This feels like Negi talking about the quints and this manga, the more he whores out the quints the more attention he gets but the less people care about the manga he does

No, you can also see in this very same chapter that she goes to ask him to review it and he doesn't bother with it but instead changes the subject >>275184906
>>275199793
If anything, it looks like he was doing a good job as an actor and it made him feel even worse because it's not what he wanted.
>>
>>275200944
>If anything, it looks like he was doing a good job as an actor and it made him feel even worse because it's not what he wanted.
This is exactly what I think is being said. Shinya's passions are in screenwriting but he's mediocre at it. He has some real talent as an actor, but to him it's just a job and he has no desire for it, creating his spiral of being successful in what he doesn't want, but what he wants he's a failure in.
>>275200922
Sanae still doesn't seem like she was necessarily a bad person. If anything, she's vengeful to Shinya for whatever happened.
Considering Chidori's relationship with her (and I think this was already talked in the past), the Phantom Script ending is Sanae's way of ending the show and getting one final laugh at Shinya for what he did.

What I want to know is if Yamabuki is also related to all of this shitshow or if she was a means to just hint at Yellow's situation ahead of time.
>>
Yellow splits himself into two equal but opposite clones

One becomes a megalomanic intent on ruling the world, the other becomes a security worker who's content to work a meaningless dead end job. The current arc is making more sense

>i wanna be a writer
>wtf everyone hates my writing
>guess i'll kill myself in front of my son clones
brother just fucking move on
a lot of people had dreams and just learn to move on when they couldn't become an astronaut or a lawyer or doctor and shit
this man is a child

I think he fears becoming like his alt ego too much to break any rules.

>Yellow splits himself into two equal but opposite clones
God I hate you for making some sense.

But I don't see "split personality" clone, as a theme.
Red keep getting killed and come back, late clone was custom made
Suzukiri had mass produced clone for power
Blue had no clone
Unlikely Pink have one but hey, they might as well surprise us and reveal they made a clone to replace her broken self
And Yellow is the only one who had that split personality happening.

Cloning is probably the key of everything, that and whatever made reality the invaders.

Probably the divine dragons themselves

I feel like its different from split personality in this case.

Save Aizome
>>
>>275210390
nah, keep her as a cool villain
>>
>>275210390
Let her take over the body of a tall, voluptuous onee-san.
>>
>>275210390
Aizome will become a human again along with D and the dusters
>>
>>275212200
Let her take over a clone of her original body.
>>
>>275196656
It's kind of impressive how D has an entire Death messiah in his head that can make optimal decisions for him, just from spending a lot of time with him, yet he still doesn't listen to it and makes bad decisions.
>>
>>275213300
That's our D!

There are those creators who get butthurt when the adaptations of their works are totally different from the original but become so popular that nobody cares about the original.

I wonder how much Momiji knows
>>
>>275198139
That wont stop Akabane from killing Tasogare
>>
>>275216061
She's a Sanae clone and has an implanted adult Sanae personality that will activate upon Yellow's death so she becomes the main villain.
This too, was foreshadowed.
>>
lemme guess
somehow chidori is gonna be a clone too
>>
>>275217855
I wonder why he just didn't keep cloning everyone like Red
>>
>>275218193
For him Red was the only one that couldn't be replaced for some reason, the others weren't as important. Maybe it was guilt.
>>
wait why is red in the past called soushi?
>>
>>275218856
Soushi was the actor in the OG show, Sousei is Red Keeper
>>
chances of the original akabane being locked away in a dungeon for cloning purposes? clones of clones don't seem to last long
>>

>chances of the original akabane being locked away in a dungeon for cloning purposes
Very likely

>clones of clones don't seem to last long
Now that you say that, is interesting that Yumeko's clones are short lived
>>
>>275217855
If the surgery they are supposed to get is actually replacing them with an altered clone, it could be possible.
>>275218329
Maybe it was attempting to do something similar and make a better version since that red was so involved in what happened.
>>
>>275218856
og actor who's about as unhinged as the clones that came after
