I think the Guilty part is more about what happened in the past, in a nutshell what are those imm that Shu saw .
(when we saw the Yung Gai and that girl that looks like Inori ).
Regarding the relationship chart I'm curious to see that as well.
Can someone give the link of that?

Seeing that the first scan says newtype, it's most likely that they are all from magazines (though not necessarily from just a newtype, but i am not sure on that)

But more importantly :

Spoiler for Shu and Gai:

Why Shu has forgotten Gai ? I'm sure Shu and Gai are experiences from Shu's "mother" or something like that.

It's hard to tell the reason Shu forgot about his past. Could be a result of an experiment, or it could simply be a psychological trauma. Going by the little flashes of his past we saw in episode 1, it looks like he witnessed a blood bath, so it wouldn't be too surprising if he blocked out his own memories.

This goes well with his current stresed out personality.

hmmm, can't wait when Shu take out the void from himself. Wonder what shape is Shu's void, maybe something symbolize guilt?

Spoiler:

Shu will eventually admire Gai. Probably once he remembers Gai is his awesome childhood friend.

Spoiler for spoilers:

It is either both of you guys are turning into fudanshis, or there is going to be a fujoshi invasion soon.

On a serious note, I think Shu forgot Gai probably when he gained the power to pull weapons out of girls - maybe sacrificing something important in order to protect something bigger.

Or that Gai sacrificed his relationship with Shu in order to gain his own powers.....this power is not free from what I see.

Is it possible for Shu to take a void from himself? We know that the person a void comes from doesn't remember the experience. But it also seemed to me as if taking out the person's void rendered the person semi-conscious at best. If Shu took his own void, would he still be able to function?

That's the best version
(but the right translation is Funeral Parlor anyway)

If he could he would pull a weapon mightier then Inori's void,

Spoiler:

the pen!

Technically it's a weapon in context.

Seriously though I expect Shu to pull something even more pathetic then the refrigirator dood, but the show would probably do an asspull like with Inori and make it a good weapon for the sake of the series. It would have been better if they described it as a relfection of the person's potential rather then some kind of persona thing.

I can't imagine it'd go well. Shu could collapse before he could yank it out and then wake up. He could pull out the void then collapse and wake up in a while. Or pull it out and collapse, but because he hasn't let it go it doesn't disappear until someone physically takes it away from him . Unless someone with the same power shows up I think he should avoid trying that.

I don't think there is any "he has to toch it so it doesn't disapear" so in theory pulling his own void should be suicide.

Thanks for the link.
So this is the famous relationship chart it's seems to me embodies the relationships of the characters but only in the early episodes .
The one that amazes me is the one is the one Shu and Gai and of course I mean from Shu side .
Anyway, I'm curious to see how the relationships will change during the next few episodes.

Now that I think about it.
I'm the only one to think that the episode of this week will have a new opening ?

For Shu => Gai on the relationship chart, "looks up to" or "longs to be like" fit better than "adoration".

So far it's seemed to work that way. Let go of the sword in episode 2 and it rushed back into Inori. Had to run in the last episode before the void vanished as well. It doesn't look like Shu is consciously telling it to go back which leads towards a requirement for him to stay in contact with it.

Fixed an alternative.

Anyway, is it just me, or does the recent 2 episodes make the storyline feel so....stuck?

If anything, a wheelchair bound person would have more power. People in wheelchairs gain upper body strength just from having to push those wheels all day.

Also, some throws don't really need all that much power. It's all about manipulating balance and a person's center of gravity.

Considering what's happened in the anime, I don't see how any of that fits their relationship at all.

Agree. I hope this is fanmade since if the series develops into that all the progress up till now has been an utter waste of time.

Pretty sure it's fanmade by the writing though. Who in their right mind would write

Japanese people do and this is after all a translation from Japanese either way.
