Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today we\u2019ll be returning to an adventure that I\u2019m frankly not sure I even <\/span>want<\/span><\/i> to continue, as we check back in on the beleaguered magical girls of Yuki Yuna is a Hero. Not because the show has gotten less interesting or anything; with the Taisha\u2019s true nature revealed, the show\u2019s reflections on genre convention and fundamental character drama have never been stronger. But all of that strength is now being put to work torturing our young hero club, and I simply will not have it! Leave our heroes alone, you stupid evil tree!<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, personal feelings aside, we are now well and fully past the point of ignorance regarding this system\u2019s true intent. The vertexes are essentially bait for hopeful young heroes; expending their energy to protect their homes, they are converted into food for their ever-ravenous homeland. Rather than saving this world for the next generation, magical girls are consumed to maintain a static order, venerated as martyrs for a cause they would never willingly have supported. It\u2019s a sturdy metaphor for an increasingly aging Japan, wherein blind patriotism and a renewed fervor for militarization are apparently supposed to make up for a lack of genuine opportunities. What can our young handful of heroes do in the face of such structural malevolence? Let\u2019s find out!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 10<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We open right where we last left off, with Fu still bawling in Itsuki\u2019s arms. Delightful!<\/span><\/p>\n

Suddenly their phone alarms go off. While the main group reacts in surprise, we jump to Togo some distance away, declaring that \u201cthis way, I can save everyone.\u201d Though every member of the hero club has at some point taken on a greater burden to ease the suffering of their fellows, Togo has always been the most inherently self-sacrificing member of the group. Between her profound loyalty to Yuna and her preoccupation with military duty, she\u2019s always found it easy to justify taking more suffering upon herself<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBonds of Love\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

We cut to a younger Togo, whose loyalty to Japan was fostered early and often through visits to various historical sites<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apparently her \u201cancestors of the Togo bloodline\u201d also worked to protect the Taisha. As always, I\u2019m a fan of how casually this show integrates its fantastical elements into its ongoing drama. The existence of the Taisha would indeed be a mundane fact of life to people living within this world, but so many stories act like their protagonists are <\/span>also<\/span><\/i> visitors to their <\/span>own<\/span><\/i> world, and thus must explain and marvel at conceits that to them would presumably be ordinary occurrences. I understand the urge to explain your cool fantasy inventions, but such ideas always feel more substantive when the characters involved take them for granted, and we in the audience are forced to catch up with what they already know. That in turn makes not just the fantasy inventions, but the characters who live alongside them feel more alive. If you don\u2019t assume your reader is an idiot, they\u2019ll frequently reward you with greater investment in your story<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that maybe there was something I could do to serve the Divine Tree.\u201d So will this end up being the story of how she was initially disabled? I figured it was something Taisha-related, and thus informed her surprisingly rapid distrust of the Taisha\u2019s assurances<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even her mother encourages her to sacrifice herself to the Taisha. And just like that, two years of memories disappear, alongside the use of her legs<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy memories never returned, but my mother assured me I had been a good daughter.\u201d Christ, how monstrous! A true believer in the cult, happily sacrificing her daughter to serve this ruthless idol<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe said she was proud of me for those two years.\u201d With tears down her face, at least. So even her mother is trying to convince herself that service to the Taisha is worth it<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so big! Were we <\/span>this<\/span><\/i> wealthy?\u201d Whatever bargain her mother struck, it apparently improved their position within the Taisha\u2019s faithful<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lost in these new surroundings, utterly disconnected from a life put on hold for two mysterious years, it is Yuna who first reaches out to Togo and makes her feel wanted. Even her mother seemed to care about her mostly for \u201cwhat she could do for the Taisha\u201d – Yuna only cares about Togo for her own sake<\/span><\/p>\n

The camera focuses on them holding hands as Togo smiles in her new school uniform. Togo is good at acting strong, but Yuna\u2019s hand is a reminder that with her, she doesn\u2019t need to be brave<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to eat your snacks every day!\u201d Again, emphasizing her value outside of her worth to the Taisha<\/span><\/p>\n

Fu then invites them to the Hero Club. Very obvious that Yuna is intentionally seeking out a club that Togo can also join<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe help people out, in accordance with the divine tree\u2019s teachings.\u201d It seems like preoccupation with the orders of the divine tree is a somewhat unusual fascination for the young. Togo got involved because of her family origins, and Fu likes to play-act being an old fogey with an old fogey\u2019s concerns, but most of these students presumably see the divine tree as something only relevant to older generations<\/span><\/p>\n

Fu specifically frames the Hero Club as an attempt to overcome our inherent bashfulness regarding helping others – which in turn might inspire others to do the same, the ultimate essence of heroism<\/span><\/p>\n

These idyllic early days of the Hero Club offer a grim irony: the group was actually more like real heroes back when they were just helping out the community, not risking their lives for the sake of an indifferent overseer. Genuine heroism can for the most part only exist on the individual, community-based level; if someone tells you that you can save the world, they are likely selling you something<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though she\u2019s my sister, she doesn\u2019t have a lot of girl power.\u201d Goddamnit, Fu<\/span><\/p>\n

And Yuna is of course quick to flatter Itsuki\u2019s interests, offering her a good-luck charm upon her entrance into the club<\/span><\/p>\n

Their final \u201cnext task\u201d brings us right to the beginning of the series, as they set to work constructing the puppets they\u2019ll use for that first preschool performance. Situated as it is after everything has fallen apart, this whole sequence offers a bitter reminder of what a strong bond these girls had created, and how much joy they were bringing to their community. Their \u201cgreat acts of heroism\u201d might have simply been variations on picking up trash and attending to society\u2019s dependents, but those sorts of acts are in truth the most essential, and frequently the most overlooked. The theme seems clear: do not look to a martially minded government to validate your actions, look to the people next to you within your own life, and see what you can do for them<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cTogo\u2019s always saving us.\u201d In a kinder world, that would only refer to things like riffing her way out of a children\u2019s stage play mishap<\/span><\/p>\n

It was Togo\u2019s realization that this was actually her second turn through the cycle that prompted her to attempt various methods of suicide. But she is denied even the privilege of death – and presumably, if she goes too far in pushing against the Taisha\u2019s wishes, she\u2019ll just have her memory erased again<\/span><\/p>\n

Togo goes to visit Nogi at the hospital. \u201cYou can call me Wasshi if you want. I may not remember it, but my family name was Washio for two years.\u201d Yep, they were indeed heroes together<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She was specifically adopted into the Washio family to serve as a hero, echoing the feudal systems of head families adopting the people they require from less-significant branches of the family<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd my parents just handed me over.\u201d \u201cIt was a divine duty.\u201d Behind the scenes, a cutthroat interpretation of the divinity of the emperor still endures. The worst cruelties of paternalistic patriotism, ironically inflicted on this girl who actually sees so much worth celebrating in her country\u2019s identity<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI went more all-out when I was a hero, and this is how I ended up.\u201d Nogi\u2019s polite acceptance of her situation just makes it feel all the more unfair<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Taisha couldn\u2019t make do with just the people in their own families, so they searched the nation for others fit to be heroes.\u201d Crowdsourcing human sacrifices<\/span><\/p>\n

Even Togo moving in next to Yuna was calculated, a move intended to bait Yuna into becoming a hero herself<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCome to think of it, we also had luxurious food during our retreat. It wasn\u2019t out of gratitude. It was an act of worship.\u201d Seeing these heroes as religious icons rather than young girls makes it easier to dehumanize them<\/span><\/p>\n

And of course their parents knew all along, as Fu\u2019s prior recollections revealed<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The \u201ctrue nature of the world\u201d is revealed to Togo, but concealed from us by Yuna\u2019s phone call<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI may be closer to the Divine Tree, but even with all this worship, I\u2026\u201d She has become a symbol to others, not a free person in her own right<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCould you stay for just a little longer?\u201d After all this, all she can hope for is the brief company of a fellow unfortunate<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in the present day, Togo at last steps beyond the barrier, and learns that the world outside is a nightmare realm inhabited only by vertexes<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vertexes – the highest of organisms – were sent by the gods of heaven, tasked with purification. During the Anno Domini era, the world suddenly came under their attack. The other gods sided with humanity, gathering their strength to fuse into a great tree and create a defensive barrier around Shikoku. The current Taisha heard the voice of those gods, and they now manage the Divine Tree.\u201d So it was all just an idle, distant conflict between gods, and humanity was forced to suffer the consequences. And there is no solution – the gods will just keep warring forever until humanity is extinguished<\/span><\/p>\n

And so Togo comes to a decision. \u201cAll I have to do is destroy the divine tree. I\u2019ll end this world!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

WHEW, the bombshells just keep dropping! Though we already knew the Taisha was exploiting these young heroes, it was still a shock to learn the systemized extent of this injustice, and the complexity of the \u201cfeeder system\u201d designed to offer up innocents to the Divine Tree. And all for what – for an arbitrary battle between the gods, echoing the inhumane desires of our once and future imperial oppressors? With the gentle, intimate charity of the original Hero Club serving as counterpoint, it feels clearer than ever that loyalty to some grand, distant ideal of home or country is only a route to exploitation, a perversion of the support we extend to our friends and neighbors. Whether through obliterating the Divine Tree or however else, this system must fall.<\/span><\/p>\n
