Anyway. The Promised Neverland (約束のネバーランド) is a really great thriller that's been killing the game recently and is one of my top 3 shows for the currently airing season. I thought it'd be a good time to take a look at Plot Twists in general, and then see how this story implements two of its twists from the first 4 episodes.

Potential Spoiler for one of the first four episodes:
Are you really not going to mention the foreshadowing in the game of tag with Sister Krone?
She pinpoints everyone’s weaknesses, including Ray’s inability to commit to a strategy... in other words, his plan is to survive, and his strategy is liquid so long as he attains that goal. She practically spelled out that he was the traitor.

I Haven't even watched the show yet but I Don't care!

No. If someone doesn't want spoilers don't watch the video and don't read comments. Simple. Why are you asking everyone else to be so mindful of a subset of people?
The promised neverland, a world where children are not allowed to grow up...
Crap the title makes sense to me now. God dammit
much like antivaxxers
Shit. You right.
spoiler alert
but when i read the manga it didnt rly feel like he was creating a neverland. it was even stated that he wanted to end the neverland where kids couldnt grow up
What do you mean we have anti-vaccinaters
I actually yelled when Norman accused Ray it was great.
i knooooooow
lmao I was so confused like "damn what now big brain" HAHAHAHA

LMAOOO
I was suspecting ray, but the way that Norman's face dips into the shadows for a moment make him seem like a genius!
I KNOW!!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLOT TWISTS OF ALL TIME

It's so weird seeing Emma's ear again
Sehva I thought this would be something else but I choked
wait how-
Conunndrum Y. Hahahahaha
@@alastairiscool4908 she cut her ear off
So trueeeeee
I first thought the anime would have a dark tone or something but then i watched the first episode and was like "wow its completly diffrent from what i expected" then the ending happened and i was like "nvm its way darker then i previously anticipated"
And that's what make it more darker. It hurts to look at them smiling innocently
Then at the ending of the season the cuteness came back over the existential dread of having no purpose other than to be eaten
@@jjaa_joyjoyartist yes... now the manga ended and on a good ish note... can't wait to see it animated
I knew Connie was gunna die when everyone was talking about what they wanna do when they get adopted and Connie says she wants to grow up and be a mom and that she promises to write them. Then she smiles innocently and the wind blows through her hair. You know something bad is going to happen to her and what do you know?? She dies.
Jewell Venah sane
@@moved596 That's my biggest problem actually with the anime. It wants you to know that something weird is going on. I didn't expect it to be a ""horror"" manga when I started reading.
It's a good anime tho.
it was her innocence that gave her death away lol u just gotta know how it will happen
Kill the kitten
Ray must have been working for Isabella since and/or even before the series started because when Emma asked everyone what would they do once they got out in ep1 he said "I'ld have to survive first" which could imply that he already knew that the the orphanage was a farm
You read the manga but act like you didn't to sound smart when making predictions that will happen.
@@andresk1685 You know, people can be smart and make speculations, right?
@@crimsondespair_9505 True, but in this case is different. There are no clues/hints that Ray is working with Isabella. There are clues that he knew something about what's going on but other than that, no clues about him working with mom. Heck, I'll make a prediction too... Isabella is Ray's real mother.
@@andresk1685 lol nice (manga reader here)
@@andresk1685 lets take as an example he was(manga reader as well), but i wonder who they use as the sperm donor
Neverland is such a good anime. The amount of rhetorical devices used by the director is insane. I'm glad that your analyzing Neverland
Well you’re gonna be disappointed because season 2 is dogshit
As a manga reader I do love that everyone is enjoying this show so much. And just for the sake of using the spoiler etiquette here's one from a very recent manga chapter
***Major Spoiler Alert [The Promised Neverland] Major Spoiler Alert***
The demons origins have just been revealed to basically be "You are what you eat" They gain the traits of whatever they've just eaten, even when they started out at a microbial level. So at one point they ate humans and gained conciousness and self-awareness. The downside is that if they don't keep eating humans, they as individuals, will revert back to their initial animalistic state.
I've spoiled enough anyway, I know some people will be chomping at the bit to find out about the demons so I thought I'd give an explanation for anyone that wanted it.
Additional SPOILERS/Theories
We don't actually know if what we were told last chapter is true. SPOILERS story doesn't quite mesh up with what we were told by Mujika and Sonju.
While Sonju does want to hunt humans again, there doesn't really seem to be any reason to not belive the part of Mujika having never eaten human meat before, since she even was actively against hunting.
So the whole thing is kinda fishy and I wouldn't trust normans word 100%.
@@martinnovak1103 Man, I didn't even think of that bit until now.
*Major Spoilers/Theories*
Another bit of Norman's information that doesn't make much sense. He says that the demons get weaker/more feral if they don't eat humans. By the way he talks about this, he makes it sounds like that this decline happens quickly like in their human lifespans if they succeed. But not only has Mujika never eaten human (and looks the most human out of every demon we've seen). Sonju hasn't eaten humans in hundreds of years and he seems still as strong as the demons at the hunting ground. Though part of this could maybe be explained if Mujika and Sonju maintain their intellect by eating intelligent demons.
I feel Emma might be getting the same vibe off of Norman as we are but she can't say anything as everyone else believes in Norman and she wants to.
Also, another thing I need to get off my chest, just how freaking old is Peter Ratri? He's old enough that he's the one turned traitor against his brother and is the one gave Lord Bayon the hunting grounds which has been running for well over 13 years. And yet when he meets Norman, he says they're not too different age wise. Does time work different between the human and demon side? Or what?
@@wahlflower3517 Major Spoilers/Theories
I mean, if Peter Ratri was a teenager when he ratted out his brother (say, 15), that would make him 16 when Norman was born. Pretty sure that's considered too young for parenthood in many parts of the world.
This is a rare experience for me, a series I was already reading before it got an anime.
It's so weird being on the other side, knowing the twists and turns and outcomes while watching all the anime onlys speculate wildly.
Is this.. is this how it feels to be a superior being? To like something before it was cool?

As a viewer the thing I most like about plot twists is something like the feeling of having your faith in your observations and faith in the author being rewarded. You need to be able to identify that something as presented is not making sense or is making more sense in other ways holistically, providing a more complete picture, but then you also have to have the trust in the author to not just be writing a story that is uninteresting or won't address things you've noticed or were mistakes, or were just things you were projecting. I like that this plot twist is relevant to many things we already have seen about Norman and Ray and it reinforces my faith in the series going forward to deliver more moments like this.
I agree with you to an extent, but in my experience the best plot twists are the ones where you, as an audience member, don't question what's going on, get surprised by the reveal, but then after looking back you see the signs of the twist earlier in the story.
This is one of the few anime that led me to read the manga because of my curiosity.
Where should you start if you finished the Anime?

Spoiler Alert [The Promised Neverland (anime)]
At first when I heard Norman accusing Ray I thought he was gonna say "Just kidding" right afterwards. But that plot twist was the first in many years that I couldn't get out of my mind for the past couple of days. As I kept thinking about it, I realized how it might actually be true: maybe Norman only told Ray that he was gonna set up a trap for Don and Gilda, which is why Ray was caught red-handed. Not to mention the FANTASTIC red herring Gilda was. The main reason I thought Norman was joking was because I thought it had already been dramatic-irony-style established that Gilda was the traitor. I even thought that the scene of Gilda acting as if she didn't know anything with Krone was an act to make Emma think that she wasn't a traitor. As I've been thinking about it more and more though, I realized that all of the scenes incriminating Gilda were just really well-directed cuts, and she could be completely innocent. This show is much deeper than I thought it would be and I'm really enjoying it!!!
And Maybe Ray have Tons of other plans to outwit Big Mom.
@Anum Saleem This scene is exactly what I was thinking of when I mentioned how cleverly directed the show is-- I don't think Gilda was the one who slid that note under the door. The way the scene was edited made it look like she did, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually show Gilda in front of Mama's door giving her the note. The only thing that makes her suspicious now is why she would go see Sister Krone in the first place... did Krone summon her? Is she (as you said) actually the traitor and just faking innocence because she knew Emma was listening in? If she WAS the person who wrote that note, how did she know the hiding spot that Norman told Don, not her? (if I'm remembering correctly?) It's all so mysterious...
Spoiler alert
Yes, ray is the traitor but he did it on purpose. He knew the secret of the house 6yrs earlier than norman and emma, he is also the reason why emma and norman discover the secret. If ur still reading dont frget dis "norman aint dead"
Spoiler alert
Ray survived from himself of being burned to the ground with the house that's why Emma is there so if your reading this then you already know the plot twist just ignore me and move on
Something I really like about this is that Ray keeps suggesting to the other two things that are strategically optimal but morally repugnant, which is exactly how I believe he must be thinking
Ad the spoiler alert xD
One of the best sequences in the setup of Ray is when Ray and Emma have that conversation about traitors. Ray pegs one of their siblings as a possible traitor. The implications of this are what made me actively suspect him of being the traitor. He was simultaneously deflecting attention off onto someone else and creating this disconnect for Emma. He is the one telling her to trust no one and between the lines it reads "trust no one but the person telling you to trust no one."
Further on, Norm's conversation with Emma about what they should do with the traitor made me question if Norm could be the traitor but the exclusion of Ray made me keep him as a possibility. Norman doesn't go to Ray and ask what they should do with the traitor. He goes to Emma. Mostly because he has high suspicion that Ray is the traitor.
After I saw the Ray is a traitor twist I caved in and went to read the following chapter in the manga to see what that was about.
Now I'm fully caught up with all 121 chapers.
I really like it.

This show has so many plot twist it’s crazy how good they’re executed. The animation of the show is also sooo amazing, can’t wait for season 2.
Read the manga guys! You won't regret it, it's amazing!!
Do you read it buy buying it? Or is there a website where you can read it for free?
I will, but I'm gonna wait till this season is over. I enjoy being ignorant at this point.
Oh I am and I'm even more mad cuz it's so good
yes please!!! the manga is way better!
If you watched the Anime first, where should you start on the Manga?
Spoiler Alert [The Promised Neverland]
I was so surprised when Norman accused Ray of being the traitor, and then that surprise quickly turned to worry as I realized just how bad it was. I trusted Ray because we got to see him working alongside Emma and Norman, plus he's the "edgy shady reclusive character" and authors usually pull a little floppy and _don't_ put them as the traitor. Plus we see him in the intro with the same type of introduction as Emma and Norman, I was convinced he was sticking around as the pessimist all friend groups needed. And then when Norman said Ray was the traitor, I couldn't help but think "wow they're screwed" simply because he knows _everyone_ who's in on it and helped plan the escape strategy. he knows practically _everything_ .
This isn't a spoiler. This is what the video was about...
I'm a simple human being, I see The Promised Neverland, I click
I was ecstatic when my suspicions about Ray where confirmed and that's why I love well written plot twist. It's great to be rewarded for being observant and it only deepens my interest in the show
I just finished the episode. Like, literal seconds ago and here we are... Guess the plot twist is that I'll be watching a little longer ;)
The info bombs in the manga is exactly like that. There are times its pretty good and other times it feels like its trying to have the same kind of cat-and-mouse scheme they had in the first arc but it feels cheap and doesnt add much instead :( still love the series tho
I love you for referring to Community. You are streets ahead.
This comment is Coined and Minted, it might even be comment wildfire.
I didn't see that plot twist coming at the end of this video!
Spoiler Alert[The Promised Neverland]
My mom thought Phil was the traitor. Even after finishing the season she still feels there is something up with him.
You thought it was replay value, but it was me Dio !
Nice Reference.
I'm waiting for how The Promised Neverland (manga) will end, this might be my favorite #2 manga series of all time xDD
(no.1 is FMA)
Your intro and outro kinda scared the crap out of me 😱 I was so used to your calm demeanor that it caught me off guard 😄
I just realized something. The way Norman's hair hides one eye could be a very subconscious clue that he's the spy, with the whole visual "hiding something" motif.
Ray* Norman is the kid with the white hair.
i got ray being a traitor spoiled to me and that really did make it so much more interesting because you can actually see how he's set up as the traitor is the scene composition. in the scene where emma, ray, and norman are discussing the possibility of a traitor, emma is standing off to the side and the camera pans between her and the boys, representing how she is blind to ray being a traitor while norman suspects it. ray is also facing away from them and in one scene where the focus is on his face, emma is blurred in the background while norman is only slightly blurred in the midground. in the opening credits, both emma and norman look directly at the camera while ray looks away and then uses his hand to cover the camera. there's a bunch of little stuff like that that makes the show utterly brilliant
What i really love about the anime is that most of the inner monologues are not voiced out. It was all just expression, which i think is very beautiful. Like its up to the viewers to guess what the characters are really thinking at the moment. I mean, it wouldn't be as captivating if they talked all the time, though it would explain much more with what's happening inside their head. So i think they really nailed it with portraying their thoughts just through expressions itself.
I belive another series that does plot twist quite effectively would be spoiler alert (pandora hearts manga up to volume 18)
The twist that oz turns out to be the actually B-rabbit, a twist that with hindsight you can see coming but still done brilliantly and completely changes your views on majority of the cast as you start to learn more of the truth of what happened during the tragedy of sabire,
Yes! Pandora Hearts was so good, and all the plot twists were really interesting.
It's so fun watching and reading these vids and comments as a manga reader :D so good this series is getting the recognition it deserves, really enjoying the adaption so far ^^
would like to see more plot twist vids. so far loving this anime, by far has one of the best OPs i've ever heard
That plot twist at the start of the vidoe really effects it's narrative actually
I was actually spoiled on the plot twist in episode 1 because I looked up the series on Wikipedia. But that didn't make it any less shocking when I saw it.
Spoiler Alert [The Promised Neverland]
One of my favorite pieces of information given (which I guess could be a plot twist?) is when Musica and Sung-Joo tell the children that the world they live in has always been occupied with the demons. Where previously we were expecting them to either find a town of fellow humans, find out that the world they live in is post-apocalyptic, or to find some other form of civilization (either a new type of life or something else). Instead, we find out that there is no human towns and that they live in the demon world. This immediately leaves us with a sense of impossibility. I truly think that this was one of the best roads the manga could have taken and it made me rethink my whole understanding of the story.
I was only going to comment about how great your videos are. But getting people to watch Community can't go unnoticed, amazing taste :)
Do you have examples of other shows/animes that blatantly foreshadow a plot twist without giving away the nature it ?
In terms of anime that happen outside of the opening episode (because the foreshadow into resolution is a pretty standard opening move) I immediately think of Acca-13 & Psycho Pass. The latter is particularly impressive because of how it simultaneously convinces you that there's no twist and DEFINITELY a twist at the same time so the audience unsure how to feel.
Thank you for answering, I'll check Acca-13 (and eventually finish Psycho Pass)
Ah, plot twists. Perhaps the only time I enjoy being deceived and reminded of my intelligent capacities.
I'm planning to make a light novel and I'm no native english speaker. But I want to make something that makes people go "wait, what?!"

PERMANENTLY PERMABANNED

TPN man whenever the got a clue the way Isabella just shuts it down
The whole show is a plot Twist. That's why we love it
Ray is the one who suggested Emma and Norman give the bunny back... he wanted them to know. To realize this. Also, his behavior at the gate is interesting in the first ep. Emma and Norman are speculating and talking about what they would want to do if they left, but ray... ray just looks kinda sad, pensive. It’s seen again after hide and seek when everyone is talking about this again, and his practical “I’ll have to survive first” worried me and was actually what made me suspect him as a reluctant traitor type, before the plot even picked up; he knows more than the other kids, knows more of how the world works and how it can be cruel. His insistence that Emma should suspect everyone, but then his anger at Norman for doing just that with the other kids really suggest he was really trying to get them to suspect him. And then even in the first ep after they come back you can see him gauging their reaction, likely trying to see if they found out. It’s all really interesting, honestly. I’m sure there’s a lot more of little moments I’m forgetting, too, but these stuck out for me.
Thanks for specifying the spoilers. I hate it when they just say ”there are spoilers”, but then I’m like “spoilers for the manga? Or for which episodes?”
The Promised Neverland is so good at plot twists that the twist is just plot twists
All I'm gonna say is that flashback of Ray at then of the show, was an insane twist
Okay so I’ve both watched the anime and read the manga, and might I say holy SHIT because there are so many amazing goddamn plot twists
Bruh I remember pausing and playing every 2 seconds because of all the tension when Norman and Emma go to the gate
What is this??? Did u just start making videos for me lol. You latest videos have been on my favorite animes ever, I already love this show
IMO You also could've pointed out non-anime plot twists that managed them well, for instance Sixth Sense and Usual Suspects
Spoiler alert [promised neverland]
The pov shots have always felt a bit eerie to me. The current pov characters in the anime are : ray, isabella, sister krone, phil and sherry/sheryl (-whatever her name is-). A few pow shots I can remember off the top of my head are:
1. when the trio is at the fence, a small character is looking through holes in the bushes, phil comes out ahead of Nat and the other kids.
2. Emma and Norman talk about bringing Ray into the plan. We get shots from the bushes. Ray appears
3. After the confession, but before the apology. Don and gilda are talking outside. We get a veiw from behind the side of the house, sister krone come from that direction. We also get a shot from the top floor window. A tall character seems to be here, like an adult. Since sister is outside. This is isabella. Another veiw from the dining hall. A short character, small enough to hide under the table when the five were talking. It's most likely phil since he's been addressed as a pov character.
4. The end of the episode when Don and gilda are in mom's secret room. We get a pov of a small character walking there. This then turns out to be phil and scares the living shit out of gilda and don aswell as us, the viewer.
There are so many more I cant talk about. Yeah this isn't really plot twists but whatever. I like yapping lol.
So Ray is basically the Ocelot of TPN.
Spoiler (kinda idk)
A very minor one was Norman being shipped out and actually leaving cause I wasn't expecting that, but an interesting scene that ties into another minor plot twist of most of the kids knowing and isn't very noticeable til you rewatch is the kids reactions to hearing norman is leaving the house
Respect to the author... I'm a manga reader yall but here's an advice to those who watches..... "As the story goes longer your thoughts of theorizing events on TPN would slowly become nothing" it becomes harder to guess what's going to happen that is why I love TPN and a great applause to the author.
Bro, you know its a good episode when you instantly hear Code Geass
Spoiler alert (the promised neverland)
The Ray-Isabella child thing was insane. I could’ve never anticipated that Ray was Isabellas own son. That also created a horror; isabella had to raise her biological son to be harvested.
Great video man 👌🙂
Maybe Ray is Isabella's son. His life is dependant on his mother's success and Isabella would let nothing happen to him as long as she is in control.
Let's just remember. She's referred to as mother of all them Gracefield Children. Therefore, he is her son on the mentality side of the word "Family".
Spoilers for TPN:
The twist near the end is also a good use of perspective, because none of anything relating to it was shown onscreen until the 8th episode or so, leading the audience to assume that the kids still have no idea what's happening even though Don and Gilda began telling people down to 5 the truth about the farm since the fourth episode. The secret conversation Emma and Norman had wasn't brought up until that point, and the plot stuff with traitors, Krone, and Isabella swept that mystery aside, like the demon lore or outdated tech. So when it becomes relevant it really messes with the perspective of the show from the 4th episode on, and it rocked me how deep the characters went with the plan.
Just found your channel love it
I was avoiding all the spoiler alerts, but then I realised I have finished the promised neverland so...
Who needs spoilers because I just watched your episode while watch episode 11
Im glad you dont want to read ahead. I did and even though I love the story I regretted it

Anyone still sad that hot stuff (Yuugo) died with Lucas? THEY ONLY REUNITE AND BEEN HAPPY (like actual happiness between them) FOR A YEAR AND A HALF!
Sandras Loli oh my god yes. It felt so bitter sweet to know that after reuniting after 15 years ,they were only able to spend a year and a half together then just straight up dying together. Yuugo showed so much development and I wish we could've seen more of that but I think the way he went wasn't bad at all, it really suited him in his final appearances.
@@kierajones4230 Agree, although, 1 year and a half isn't all that bad tbh haha. The writer could have been a total dick and killed them once they met or something (or even RIGHT BEFORE they reunited. That whould have sucked ass).
They were dropping hints about Ray all over though. It was to be expected.
As a manga reader I actually thought the fact that Ray was a spy was made too obvious in the anime, even as I was rereading the manga at the same pace of the anime during those weeks.
we really need season 2
SPOILER:
Ray is Isabellas *real* son.
(I read the manga until the last chapter)
And it's still ongoing. And by "real" son, you refer to birth son. There is a difference between the mentality of real to the fact of birth.
I knew right when I saw the end of ep 1 that Ray would be the traitor lol. Shows like this always end up having betrayal and Ray seemed too obvious in my opinion
Yeah this is going to be a great anime year. Kimetsu no yaiba's animation in the trailer fits the art style well, and Dr. Stone, a candidate for the big three along with the promised neverland and boku no hero academia, is getting an anime adaptation later this year.
(SPOILER ALERT) [The Promised Neverland]
{This is a end of season spoiler so probably finish the anime before reading}
I feel like it’s very important to mention that Ray only assists Isabella because he is her actual birth given child. This gives her a soft spot for Ray. My idea is that Ray is similar to the little kids who at a VERY young age understand the secret of the house. I also think there’s a possibility that Ray was even told the secret of the house only because Isabella, his mother, wanted to ensure he would keep his test scores up and at least live till 12.
Overall that makes this whole speculation about Ray being a traitor irrelevant especially since we eventually see Ray escaping from the House with everyone else in the last ep. But I’m also curious if Isabella was going to actually let him die in the first place??? If anyone has any speculation on this please let me know.
2 years ago* wow
I suggest that you guys who is interested in the show go read the manga it is really good
Q: is the orphanage being a farm really a twist. honestly I saw it that way when i read it for the first time, and even when I watched ep1. after recolection it seems way more like the story/ world hook, than anything else.
through all of Ch/ep 1 everything seems too good to be true, and in a way that doesn't make the series feel like its going to be a slice of life. all of chapter 1 you're waiting for the moment that tells you what this series will be. And the reveal is the hook that captures most viewers attention for an entire arc. Sure it does come from left field, and could be categorized as a twist, but i feel not enough had been established quite yet for that title to fit proper.
[SPOILER]
It only really gets established once they escape and visit Musica and Sung-Joo
When i was watching tpn for the First time, Ray was one of my favourite characters (along with Norman and phil) then when it was revealed he was the traitor I really hated him and was analysing every action he'd made up until that point like a freaking over obsessed nerd. I didnt trust him for a good two episodes 😂

Episode 12's plot twist/reveal regarding Isabella and Ray almost completely changed (in a positive way) the way I perceived the show the 2nd time I watched it.
I dont think Promised Neverland does plot Twist, it only does reveals. It may be a plot twist for the Characters in the story but definitely not for the viewer. Since the anime does everything to draw the viewer's attention to the unsettling hints, we'r all expecting something we just dont know yet. Non of the reveals significantly change the trajectory of the plot nor re-contextualize prior events from the "Viewer's" perspective (not the characters), so no twist at all, just reveals.
The literal definition of Plot Twist is Radical Change. If you're a manga reader, you would understand. But even the anime itself shows Radical Change.
Hey Super Eye Patch Wolf. Or Mother's Basement...?
"Spoiler Alert [The Promised Neverland](manga)
The actual plot twist with Ray is that he tries to save his friends the entire time. He is like a double agent. Also he is the natural son of Isabella, which.... okay, that doesn't add that much actually because she never treats him that differently than any child but thanks for that, I guess.

KEKKAI SENSEN YEEET
SPOILERS SPOILERS
I see this so often when people mention that part of attack on titan. Why do people think eren being a titan was the plot twist? The plot twist was a titan punching another titan while one character was surrounded by the two of them. Eren being said titan is then blatantly given away they dont try to hide it or surprise the reader with that, thats why the entire time prior to the punch you don't actually get a clear shot of him. It's genuinely surprising and completely flips the story on it's head up until the point, since it happens a few episodes when you already get the sense that all the rules are already established. It's 100x more effective then what the promised neverland tried to do.
They blatantly give away that something is wrong instantly in the anime with that weird ass opening, in the manga they don't give anything away until the testing scene, it was so much more shocking, and then the game of tag when they first reveal they are in an in an enclosed location. The demons aren't really a plot twist, so much as it's just shocking and kind of random. We already know something is wrong, we just get to see what that something is, and we have no way of knowing it's demons cause there is no set up whatsoever. Just set up for the fact that "something is wrong here", which is again blatantly given away at the start of the episode, a real disservice to the manga.
Spoiler Alert [The Promised Neverland Manga]
I have a few things to say:
1. That Norman is actually Minerva just blew my mind away
2. The Norman in Vol. 14 isn't the Norman from Vol. 1-5. He had a complete change of Character in my Opinion.
3. R.I.P. Yugo (Imagine that ppl who have only seen the anime don't even know Yugo xd)
ps: I have only read the Manga till Vol. 15, due to Vol. 16 launches on December 22 in my Country. So pls don't spoiler me thx (or use the Spoiler Format as I did)
I haven’t read the manga, but I did know who Yuugo was and I was _pretty_ disappointed when I read that The Promised Neverland is going original and threw him out of the story. I really thought that that was a shame.
it's weird how small Ray's eyes are compared to everyone elses
It's a typical character design of a character who tries to give no fucks towards others. Such as Levi. A pure genius design upon the logical thinkers. Just as how Norman's eyes are smaller than Emma's. Their size goes based upon the trio's logical sides. Ray is most logical due to his sacrifice in the numbers in their plans by leaving children behind in his plans due to the actual reality of demons eating them. Norman is both logically and emotionally influenced towards this escape due to his empathy towards Emma. And Emma is just super emotionally influenced by her idea of a Family.
How the fuck did sister Krone have time to cut those shapes in the leaves to trick the little kids??
I foune the whole scene campy, ridiculous and funny. The demons look too silly, and the characters act too campily, not afraid as they should be. That being said, this show is f-------- terrifying in its set up/build up.
But the demons look almost exactly like they do in the manga ;--;
