In Japanese flower language, a single dandelion, white rose, and yellow tulip signify true love, love at first sight, and unfulfilled love. 4 white roses have the meanings "Nothing can come in between our love", "Mutual love, but unable to be together", "I will love you until I die", "This love is everlasting". The 6 roses mean "Hopelessly in love with you." We also have no way of knowing how many flowers are placed around Mikasa when she passes away, but if it's 999, it means "I will love you no matter how many times I'm born again." Mikasa really did love Eren with all her heart. More on reddit.com

9. The Last Bouquet Which brings us to the last bouquet. Ruby's rise as an idol and entertainer was unprecedented, she managed to push the B-Komachi YouTube Channel to a million subscribers and is an unstoppable force, she overshadowed Kana. Hikaru can be proud. However Aqua lacks behind. He gave up and regressed to his Gorou-personality. He lives for the happiness of others and he plans to pursue again a doctor's career. Btw in this essay I analysed how this was in fact really a regression and I debunked his delusion that he once wanted to become a surgeon. In fact this apparent dream of him is now a reflection of the same guilt he carried as Gorou over his dead mother. The reason why he wants to become a surgeon now is because his guilt has changed to cope with Ai's tragic murder. She was stabbed and surgeons are doctors who cure such wounds. If you are interested in that topic I invite you to that essay. Just read the introduction and then scroll down to the section titled" Aqua: " To wake Aqua up a provocation is needed. At the same time he already saw Aqua's peak during TB and Ruby's peak as an idol. By commitment, ruthlessness and aura they both match his criteria. But Aqua stagnated and thus Hikaru decided to doxx himself to Akane at the Japan Actor's Award with the help of Kindaichi. I think Hikaru didn't intended to kill Akane. Yes, he couldn't predict that Aqua would learn about his father through Saito but at the same time crow girl perhaps informed Hikaru about that development and thus he decided to show himself to Akane. I don't in particular believe that he predicted her detective work but perhaps that she would inform Aqua about a certain Hikaru Kamiki in the video archive Kindaichi provided since they look so similar. This goes hand in hand with him passing by Akane to get her attention in the first place while the roses were a reminder to Aqua to get him back on revenge. By the way the symbolism of white roses plays out exactly according to our definition when Akane took them into Hikaru's direction. She wanted to end it all and imaged a new era for her relationship with Aqua, a new beginning in which Aqua will be saved from his guilt. That those roses end up crushed in the dirt means symbolically that for now this goal is paused, she failed. She couldn't save him, as were her last words during their break up scene. 10. Yura Katayose Now this all sound like Hikaru was aware of Ai's and Gotanda's movie right away? Perhaps he was informed by crow girl on that too. I mentioned his involvement in getting Ruby to play Ai's role in the movie. I will repeat the arguments here again. If you are a reader who knows my position on this already, you can skip. Although I will this time speak a little bit more about Frill Shiranui, so don't skip at all :) So, if we assess that Hikaru wanted his children to hunt him and deliberately lured them into stardom through their revenge and hatred than his self-doxx to Akane and Aqua should mean that he is perfectly aware in which sense Aqua actually wants to get his revenge. Otherwise he could have just send a signal lowkey without a self-doxx and let them go insane more. Aqua's DNA method would never lead to anything. Hikaru simply needs to rejects any direct involvement with him, it's easy to dodge Aqua. I guess the scale of crow girls recent words about Aqua's naivety is huge... He never had a chance. But since Hikaru himself decided that it's enough to play around and get to the point, we have to address this as his perfect understanding what Aqua's revenge is all about and that Ai and Gotanda planned a movie, perhaps also that she did a DVD for Aqua. He appeared visible to everybody with intention, the same goes with Kindaichi's "decision" to help Akane to find him. This was planned. Kindaichi deliberately never mentioned Hikaru's obvious visual similarity to Aqua. And this has nothing to do with the age gap, Hikaru was LaLa Lai's box office star when he was a teenager, it was obvious to Kindaichi all the time that they look similar. Well and such is the meaning of the last bouquet of white roses, isn't it? Time to return on the path to that specific and important goal. Hard to say how much he really knew about the movie but since he is affiliated with crow girl and since we learned how unpredictable she appears and disappears and from time to time literally pushed the plot just as meaningfully as Hikaru, we can expect that he has some understanding. Now Yura. What exactly happened at their meeting? Well, they talked about the movie role she was assigned for and they also talked about Ruby - Hikaru again confirms that she picked up his interest. However I believe the well-connected (or well guided lol) Hikaru was aware about the role Yura was assigned for and thus he met with her to check her commitment. He got her drunk so that her mouth gets lose and thus started to sound out her inner feelings. He learned that she's jealous of the youngstars and that she strives to shine in a movie that will be remembered for at least a century. Hikaru learned that if her agency hands her out the script and she learns about the scale of the movie that she will never ever step down from her role to play Ai Hoshino. Yeah, that's simply it. There is nothing more to it. He killed her because he wants Ruby to play Ai while Yura would never step down. And basically this confirms also that Hikaru is aware of the scale of the planned movie or aware of the importance and the content of the movie. He knows very well that this in fact will exactly be such a movie that will be remembered for at least a century. And thus Yura had to be killed. [EDIT 24/01/24: Now that we know about Kaburagi's affiliation with Hikaru. we can in many instances exclude crow girl as Hikaru's informant and even suggest that it was Kaburagi all along who told him about the upcoming project and that he also told him about Yura being the top choice for Ai's role. So this theory makes sense. Hikaru went into the meeting with knowledge what role she will get. It was just Yura who still was kept in the dark, since she complained that her agency didn't tell her what movie and role she'll get but that she has to make space in her schedule for that] 11. Frill Shiranui The next one his list are Frill and Akane. Akane survived so many death flags but again I would say it's not out of conveniency through Aka's writing but because exactly Hikaru doesn't want to kill her. She is important for some reason. And Frill.. ohh Frill Shiranui! This is really funny. So lean back and take this: In Ōkami - an old PlayStation 2 game from 2006 - the main hometown is called " Kamiki Village " and one reincarnation of Amaterasu has the form of a wolf and is called Shiranui . And her function is described as The wolf kept a watchful eye on anyone who ventured outside the village Now we have the affiliation of Frill Shiranui with a wolf during her audition with Akane and Ruby. For the topic of "lies" she yells out that a wolf is coming to the village. Very funny coincidence. But also the function of a "watchful eye" mirrors exactly her role in the ONK narrative at this point. In her very first dialogue with Aqua and the girls at school she showed detailed knowledge about each of their affiliations in entertainment, even small roles like Aqua's stalker in SweetToday she was aware of. She said that the people on her set talked about it. She commented on LoveNow and she also had a lot to say about Dig Deeper. "A watchful eye on anyone who ventured outside of the village" perhaps it means "outside of Kamiki Production" That's indeed the name of his company. After Hikaru got rid of Yura, Frill obtained the script for the movie. It was laying on the coach when she received messages from some guy who she described as one of those well connected people who just know stuff. And his messages provoked her to do a fair and square audition, well not really. She was convinced - after reading the script - that Ruby must play the role. It's just too personal. Frill in fact is by character the total opposite to Yura. Yura was jealous of youngsters like Ruby, Frill roots for Ruby. But what is even more interesting about the text messages: The pfp in the app from whom she received those texts display a bottle of alcohol and a glass . Yura called Hikaru "Best drinking buddy Miki". So, is this a hint that this is the same guy? So, did Hikaru texted Frill because he knew that after she read the script she would understand and root for Ruby? If Akane is important to Hikaru and he can't kill her then Frill is his perfect tool to get Akane out of the way. Hikaru knows that Akane's acting outperforms Ruby's and that industry people like Kaburagi ask for crowd pullers, Hikaru knows how the industry works. However he also believes in Ruby's abilities and that she can catch up. Yes, I believe Hikaru helped Frill into rooting for Ruby and getting Akane out of the way. At the same time I think Akane is important to Hikaru because he needs her to give Ruby acting lessons. That's why it was out of question to harm her right away. And I'm pretty sure that Kaburagi will come up with the same conclusion and ask Akane to teach Ruby. More on reddit.com
