Can we make it to the end without leaks?

>>290664095
I think the leaker won't leak anymore about the plot until the end.

>>290664095
That'd be nice.

Luca will impregnate both Lara and Mari

What is Mari's family telling her in the PV that makes her so mad I wonder. I imagine just that they know going after Lara will be dangerous (somehow) but Mari wants to go.

>>290664129
Episode 12 leaks will still come out a week early.

>>290664335
>they know going after Lara will be dangerous (somehow)
If Mari only told them someone took her and they think she was kidnapped, that's a reasonable assumption to make. Maybe they want to leave the search to the police.

>>290664335
Probably complaining about her room getting damaged again.

>>290664493

She's literally me...

Mari and Luca will die from old age while Lara forever alone again.

The results of these "polls" are decided purely by the owner of the site.
He's not only faking the traffic his site gets, he's out right said before that he's edited results he claimed were "bots" and "suspicious".

The process of consuming a human spirit is what kept the lights on. Mermaids lured men by romancing them until their light was big enough, then they fed them to the big fish and powered up their kingdom for a while. Grace fell in love with a human and refused to feed it to the fish, fish still needs to be fed, hungry fish starts feeding on merfolk instead, Lara's mom decides to feed herself to the fish so Grace can be happy with her human, her light was so strong it powers up the fish for centuries. Eventually the fish gets hungry again, it needs to feed on new human in love or mermaid princess. Grace plan is to feed Lara's lover to the fish to prevent her family from feeding Lara to the fish. Grace tells all this to Lara and gives herself to the fish before it starts voring the remaining members of Lara's family. But Grace's light was tiny so the fish is still hungry and Lara must decide what to do.

Seems pretty interesting if true, and also since Luca's light is too small it wouldn't have been enough either.

>>290668006
Damn this is a pretty detailed and believable prediction desu

Apparently, you have to be completely incapable of understanding storytelling to be a Lucalara shipper.

Also, if Lucalara is really endgame, then why aren’t they getting any merch?

>>290668006
Told you this was a tragic lesbians story

>>290668006
Supposing this is close to the truth, it’s kinda weird for the mermaids to just make it custom to sacrifice their princesses and forbid human interaction. Why would they do that if things were going well before?

>>290668428
Because humans killed them mermaids a lot, it was an extremely risky process that needed to be constantly repeated, the alternative was more convenient

>>290666888
>>290667111

>yeah bro, so much stuff happened, I just can't even explain it like you just have to see it
Did our leaker just pretend he watched it? Or is that usual thing where leakers are always someone with a learning disability that makes them incapable of coherently summing up 23 minutes in 4 or 5 sentences?

>>290668006
So basically fishe needs to be fried and eaten.

I'd applaud the show for having a straightforward, happy ending. We get too much dark, subversive shit.

Not related to the ending but...

Kouta sacrificed himself by distracting the fish UFO using his light. Grace uses the last of her powers to transport the merfolk including Mari and Lisa away, using tremendous amounts of magic the condition of Grace is unknown as of the end of the episode.

>>290668006
>>290669445
Do you have leaks just from episode 10 anon?

>>290669395

>>290669445

You know what I'd be down for Mari becoming a mermaid and being with Lara that way in the end.

This is at least 60% because seeing mermaid Mari on screen would be hot.

What scares me is that eight-pointed stars, which in the poster at the top, are often called the Star of Regeneration or Rebirth, representing the eighth day of creation, symbolizing Christ's resurrection and new beginnings. And given Lara was also reborn once, it could be pointing to a tragic ending…

>>290669481
No_

>>290668006
>>290669445
Why one spoiler says Grace sacrifices herself and the other is unknown? lol

>>290669622

>>290669633
They are unrelated

>>290669633
order could be Grace explaining everything to Lara, then teleports all the mermaids away, then gets eaten by the fish

But these are probably not real leaks thus the inconsistency

Lara's Dad insisted in the first episode that humans would taint their light, so I don't think any ending that requires humans to power their light is a real leak.

I mean, couldn’t that be ‘propaganda’ spread by mermaid kind so no one falls in love with a human and causes problems again like Grace did?

>>290669131
But her soul will choose to go back in time, the time when she was happiest, and she will be at season 1 first episode. Luca who loves Lara wants to be with her too and wants to be in a time when Lara'd love him, but since she already loves Mari he'll go back in time before Lara is born, and become her mother.

>>290669866
Yea the first one makes way more sense. I think it’s more likely we lose Grace rather than losing Kota and have Grace be MIA

>>290669825
The "true love" light is untainted, hence the other only true alternative.

>>290669974
Which show did this pasta come from originally? I'm blanking now.

>>290669524
Going to Luca to ask him what was happened , Luca tells her Lisa has taken Lara. Then Leo suggest using the location finder feature on the dad's phone. Mari takes off after Lara by herself.

Two people will definitely die by the end of the series.

But without those they couldn't trick people into believing those are leaks.

>>290669633
She does not get eaten, the hunger doesn't want her since she was just a husk. First 7 minutes of episode 11 will be her backstory. After expelling her last magical essence she will turn into foam.

>>290670459
Mari's clit is huge is almost like a small penis

>>290670498
Wait that would be pretty sick if the next time we see it happen is if it coincides Mari realizing something about Lara

>>290670583
The dagger is Lara's heart, the show has established that. It needs to go back inside her.

>>290670583
that’s my question, it’s supposed to be a representation of the person’s heart and randomly eating the person seems odd especially since it only seems to do that when the person is ‘rejected’

>>290670583
The fish obeys Lara to an extent

The dagger functions like a dildo and needs to be inserted into Lara vaginally

>>290670606
I mean it makes zero sense unless there's some shattering revelation that humans are also beings of light, but it's fun to think about!
What they COULD do, however is just have a black screen with a heartbeat sound instead. No light. We're used to the sequence meaning a heart is stirring, so it could be just as effective that way.

>>290670723
I like that even more, then if theyre building up to a confession, you could have the heartbeat and the light both grow bigger and bigger in tandem or something

Just a reminder that the fish tried to eat the Prince and Luca when they turned out to be NOT Lara's true love.

>>290667360

True love is Lara learning to love herself.

>>290671241
KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

There will be a kiss between Grace and her sister. After having a mommy daughter chat with Lara, Lara's mom's ghost will float over to dying Grace. They'll have a very emotional moment that ends in a tearful kiss. The kiss heals Grace and she tries to hug her sister, but her sisters bursts into white petals in her arms. Lara and Mari are standing to the side, hugging each other. Lara turns to Mari and says "wow that was really sad. I'm glad I still have you by my side, my bestest friend." Mari replies "I agree. Best friends forever."

>>290671241

Final post in a while and spoiler for 11-12 as well as the origins of the fish dagger.

>Dagger is made using the bones of the queen. It was made by Grace at the bequest of Rowan. It serves as the Remnant of the Light for the merfolk.
Queen wanted to co-exist with humans but they killed her in order to harvest her light.
Dagger doesn't react to Rowan or any of the sisters. Only Lara which is why she was 'special.'
The stars measures each individual's soul or essence The dagger requires a lot in order to preserve the merfolk. Mari has a lot but no where near enough. However it is a start.
The dagger response to Lara's heart which is why it chose to protect Mari and tried to kill Luca.

>>290672517
Nice headcanon.

>>290672517
We literally say the fish dagger pop out of Lara's body in the first episode but sure.

Forgot one bit for episode 12

________Anon is full of shit________

>>290672517
Funny you should mention bones, because I've noticed recently that the pattern on Lara's mother's shirt looks like ribs. Probably a coincidence, but it gave me pause.

Why do some fags here get so mad about people coming up with wild theories about plots these days? That's always been the fun of originals,: speculating a bunch of random bullshit that'll probably not happen.

>>290672601
Because it's not a meta physical object. Remember this dagger is similar to the original work. Mermaids has to lure sailors to their deaths in order to survive they would manifest the dagger to kill their prey. The Queen's light stopped them from having to do this.

My Theory.

True Love isn't about a Romantic.

I like this answer

>>290674030
First it established her as an "impure" and corporeal being. When she kills her first fish just after her birth it's shown in enough details to make it almost shocking, she's not a pure being of light, she's not a fairy, she's flesh and bones like the fish she just ate. Then it happens again when she's reborn, I think it points at the idea of the "cost" of a birth or a rebirth, the idea of a sacrifice and consumption that links her to the behavior of the fish-dagger both in its small form with the attempt to consume the prince's heart or the gaping maws of the giant form.

I don’t know why ur choosing to “spoil” all this shit about the dagger when everyone in this thread only wants to know one thing about the ending. Also some of this stuff doesn’t make sense at all.

Not gonna be a kissu/confession/marriage yuri. Most yuri scene in the finale will be Mari bringing Lara to her mother's grave.

>>290674030
Autistic people usually tend to be picky eaters.

Goodbye Lara has done an amazing job capturing the nonlinear awakening to a queer reality, the various phases of half-steps and confusion along the way, and the regressive nature of society’s expectations on all girls.

I love this anime so far & hope they stick the landing!

>>290675363
In Japan, if you take someone to visit your parents' grave, it means you're in love or something. Look man, the Chinks and Japs are really into the don't ask, don't tell shit. Maybe Clinton's their favorite US president; who knows. But shit with blatant yuri goes bankrupt, while shit with implied yuri prints money.

Hell even a marketed yuri series Botan we don't even know if the two MC fucked. Gushing to Magical girls? Yea the MC rapes another girl but we don't really know if she's actually gay or not since it's all implied.

Call me schizo but the ‘leaks’ from earlier seem way too weirdly detailed and kind’ve an amalgamation of theories that people already have come up with. Plus why would someone knowing the plot details release bits and pieces on this godforsaken site. Is this behavior the norm for anime originals that get this popular?

>>290675437
disagree the Chinese fans might do some horrible things if there’s no yuri

Either way it’d hilarious for a show that so far has been all about the meaning of love to go vague and noncommittal on defining a loving relationship. Will literally make sure this is not remembered as a classic

I don't know how blind you have to be to think a series about a girl sexually assaulting other girls on screen is somehow implied yuri.

I'm sure Grace is familiar with the rings and she tells Lara to just forget about it. So maybe it has some utility but it doesn't seem important.

I kind of hate the passage of time in this series. You can easily miss the jumps because time doesn't seem to really matter.

Actually, in the episode 10 PV they show the moon. Pic related. It looks like the moon on 9/19 or 9/20 here.
>>290680231
What do you mean? It seems obvious to me. And they even give you the date or say it's however many days or weeks later sometimes. I have seen some people complain about the sense of urgency combined with a 3 week time skip though, but Lisa and Kouta managed to live for quite a long time even after only having the fake potion.

>>290680202
The ring is supposed to help Lara find her true love, no idea why Lisa is keeping it from her.

>>290680297
Because Lisa wants a "I love the world" ending instead of Lara ending up with a filthy human. She said as much in episode 8. And said that that was how the mermaid princesses kept the civilization going in the past.

>>290680312
So she would rather foam than let Lara end up with a human? lol that's commitment.

>>290667360
i thought they drew her with nigga lips when i first opened it

I dunno

They have to choose between keeping the show marketable as some family friendly slice of life and get broader appeal or appeal to yurifags and sorta self relgate itself to a niche corner of animefandom.

>>290680528
>family friendly slice of life and get broader appeal
It's not that kind of anime, there isn't any late-night slot, one-season run anime that aims for that.

>>290680580
Shiori Tani said it was a broad appeal work that focused on a buddy dynamic tho.

This is like the obsession with nipples.
>Can show full, uncovered nudity as long as you don't show a nipple.
But instead with yuri people seem to think you can show literally as deep of a relationship as possible as long as the girls don't kiss. It's retarded. I'm hoping Kinema Citrus doesn't chicken out. And I don't even care if they would have went with a straight relationship. I love shoujo manga. I just don't understand yuri baiting to the extreme only to pull the rug out at the end. I guess it's to tape that market while maintaining deniability but I wish studios don't that would take some kind of economic hit to stop that shit.

>>290680663
>but I wish studios don't that
* but I wish studios that do that

So is of the "spoilers" on here legitimate?

>>290674030
The juxtaposition between her sweet appearance and the bloodshed she can bring without meaning to. Lara is born with the power to cause catastrophic ruin. She bites the head off Rowan's statue too which predicts she destroys her father's house. But just like the little minnow and her father - everything will sacrifice itself for Lara's sake without her asking them to.

>>290680202
>So maybe it has some utility but it doesn't seem important.
Grace probably want Lara find True Love by Herself than rely the ring.

>>290679262
The ring glows red when she meets Mari (which is likely the hint of episode 1 Koide eluded to) and then it glows red in episode 3 when Lisa finds it right after Lara's fish heart is born.

>>290680202
She likely meant she wouldn't need it because she thought Lara could figure it out regardless.

>>290680297
She saw it glowing red when the heart materialized and likely deduced that Lara had fallen in love with a human again. Which is obviously something she wants to prevent. She doesn't want Lara to see an obvious indicator of true love.

>>290681172
So she did fall in love with Luca? Why didn't the magic work then?

It's fucking risk.

What makes you think she fell in love with Luca? We have only seen her ring react to Mari but it's never been shine while with Luca.

What really is a conundrum is what her ring did when she met the prince because that would likely indicate how the ring works.

It's supposed to help Lara find her true love, though Grace probably believes Lara can manage it on her own without the ring’s help.

Lisa, on the other hand, wants Lara’s true love to be “I Love Merfolk World.” But in episode 8 Lara already made an “I love humanity” declaration, so that option is off the table for the finale, so it wouldn’t make sense for her to declare the same thing again.

As for the ring itself, it turned red the moment Lara met Mari in episode 1, and it was still glowing red when Lisa found it after Lara’s heart appeared from Lake Biwa in episode 3, right after Mari said she likes Lara because she’s silly and cute.

>>290677881
Maybe it’s not just Luca but any guy willing to fuck her?

He's taking her girlfriend away. Though she doesn't hate him. When he keeps asking where Lara is in episode 8 Mari's already pretty upset and he's annoying her. Everywhere else she supports him, though is obviously conflicted for reasons she likely doesn't recognize herself yet.
