Talk:Akane Aoi/@comment-44166528-20200704021448

Major spoilers!!

My friend, who is a geek for japanese folklore, pointed out that Aoi and Akane’s relationship is based off of Inazagi and Izanami‘s relationship (in folklore). They were a married couple, and when Izanami (wife) died, Inazagi traveled to the underworld to find her. When he eventually does, she has been turned into a demon and brainwashed.

In Aoi and Akane’s relationship, the “underworld” that Akane travels to is No. 6’s boundary, which is accessible via an elevator that leads downwards, under the school. When he finds Aoi, she is brainwashed and evil, wanting to kill him.

I don’t know where to add this and how to word it, but if anyone can help do so, I’d greatly appreciate it! <3
