【海外の反応】ホタルの嫁入り 5話、「アオイ、なんでそんな悪い顔で笑ってるんだよ!?」

これって面白い？　まだ見始めてないんだけど。

Is this a good serie? Haven't started it yet.

ここまでは引き込まれてる。今日の回はちょっと弱かったけどな。毎週追うより、一気見のほうが楽しめる作品だと思う。でもまあ、面白いと言っていいよ。
ピンクの魔女のアニメと並行して見てるんだけど、偶然あっちも今週はゆっくりした回だった。

I've been engaged so far. Today's episode was kinda weak. I feel this can better enjoyed on a binge rather than weekly though. But yeah, I'd say it's good.

I've been watching it along the pink witch show, which coincidentally also had a slow episode this week.

>未来の嫁にこっそり背後から忍び寄る
これ俺もやる

>sneaking up potential wife.
I do this.

女を一番憎んでるのは女なんだよな。

Nobody hates women more than women.

面白いよ。ただし、典型的な少女漫画だけどな。

Yes, but it's typical shoujo.

封建時代の日本で、どうやったら太れるんだよ。

How do you even get fat in fuedal era Japan?

美人すぎる

She's so pretty

>体育倉庫に閉じ込められる

>stuck in the gym storage closet
lmao

うわぁぁぁ……。物置での話し合い、思ってたよりずっと生々しくて痛かった。進平は壊れた男だけど、紗都子も同じくらい壊れてる。紗都子の場合は、義務感と育ちのせいだけどな。

Jeeeeeesus

That talk in the barn was far more raw and painful than I had expected. Shinpei is a broken man but Satoko is just as broken (though in her case, it's because of a sense of obligation and upbringing).

物置での話し合い、ずっしり来たし、見てるのがキツかった。この二人、どっちもちゃんと心の手当てが要るって、マジで。

That discussion in the barn was very impactful and harsh to watch. Both these people need serious healing, damn.

おおおおお……。この手の話を見るたびに、見かけどおりとは限らないって思い知らされる。でも、憶測では何も言わないでおく（それは羅門に感謝してくれ）。

OHHHHHH....

Anime stories like this one always remind me that not everything is what it seems. Still, I won't say anything in conjecture (And you can thank Luomen for that)

ねじれた意味で笑えるんだけど、紗都子が本当のことを話したら、進平がますます紗都子に執着しちゃったんだよな（見捨てるフリを何回か挟んでからだけど）。
あれだけ情け容赦ない同僚に囲まれた仕事じゃ、自分の中にも少しは闇を抱えてないと長くはやっていけないんだろうな。それでも残念だよ。紗都子がやっとアオイっていう味方を見つけたと思ったのに。

Can't help but find it funny in a twisted way now Satoko going ahead and telling the truth just made Shinpei even more obsessed with her (albeit after a few fakeout abandons).

I guess you wouldn't last long in a line of work with colleagues as ruthless as those if you didn't harbor a bit of darkness yourself. Still a shame though, thought Sakoto had finally found another ally in Aoi.

あの二人、絶対あの島から出られないやつだろ？

They’re never getting off that island are they?

やっぱりな！
アオイは実は全然いい人じゃない。
覚えとけよ。水を酒にすり替えたのはアオイだ💯💯💯

I knew it!

Aoi is NOT actually that nice.

Mark my words: She's the one who switched the water with sake 💯💯💯

そう、同じこと思ってた。なんであんな笑い方したんだ？？？

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Why did she smiled like that???

いい作品だ！　ここまで全話楽しんでる。しかも、回を追うごとに良くなってる。

What a good show!

I've enjoyed every single episode of this one thus far. And it keeps getting better imo.

はしごがずっとそこにあったなら、なんで紗都子は最初から使わなかったんだ？

If the ladder was in there the whole time why didn't Satoko use it from the start

アオイ、なんであんな笑い方を？　悪いやつなの？　見る目が無かった？

Why did Aoi smile like that? Is she an evil person? Did I misjudge her?

ユカリも怖かったけど、最後のアオイのあの不気味な笑いは何？　紗都子と進平を閉じ込めたのは、ユカリが紗都子にひどいことをするのを狙って？

Yukari was scaring me but at the end of the episode.. what's with that sinister laugh of Aoi. Did she lock Satoko and Shinpei together hoping for Yukari to do something bad to Satoko ?

アオイ、悪を倒すはずのお前が、悪に加わってどうする！　で、紗都子にちょっかいを出すのは、進平に惚れてるからってこと？

Aoi, you were supposed to fight evil, not join it! So, is her reason for messing with Satoko that she’s in love with Shinpei?

今回もかなり良い回だった。

Pretty good episode again.

正直この作品、妙に初々しいんだよな。十代の二人が、本当の愛ってものを知っていく話みたい。

honestly this show is weirdly innocent it feels like two teenagers learning about what real love is.

どう見ても、アオイが紗都子と進平の居場所をユカリに教えたんだよ。ユカリをもっと嫉妬させて、紗都子をもっと痛めつけるように焚きつけるため。で、自分は陰に隠れて、進平と結婚して独り占めする夢を見てるわけ。

It's obvious that Aoi told Yukari where Satoko & Shinpei are to make her even more jealous & push her to harm Satoko even more while she stays in the shades dreaming of marrying Shinpei & making him all hers.

アオイがユカリを使って紗都子をつぶす気なのは分かってたけど、ついでに進平にユカリを殺させる狙いまでは考えてなかった。じゃあ、アオイが結婚を夢見てた相手って、最初から進平だったってこと？　草

I got that part about Aoi planning to use Yukari against Satoko but didn't think about her using this as a chance to get Yukari killed by Shinpei. So the guy she was dreaming of getting married to was Shinpei all along ? Lol

じゃあ、あれはユカリでもほかの女たちでもなかったのか。アオイがどれだけ腹黒いのか、考えるとぞっとする。お前の読みはいつも当たるから信じるよ xD

so that wasn't Yukari or the other women after all. It's insane to think how evil she might be. I trust you words since you are right every time xD

アオイはかなり腹黒っぽいな

Yeah, looks like Aoi is one nasty snake.

初めて会ったときから、すぐにピンと来てたよ。
だって筋から言って、あの仕事なら、乱暴な客にいちばん狙われるのはアオイだろ。だから進平は何度もアオイを守ってきたはずで、そうなればアオイが進平と結婚する、あるいは進平を自分のものにするって妄想を育てても不思議じゃない。

I immediately felt it, since their first encounter.

I mean, logically, based on the line of work they're in, she'd be the one targeted the most by abusive customers. Hence, Shinpei would've probably protected her against many & accordingly, she would develop these fantasies about marrying him or making him hers.

義務にますますしがみついてるのは、進平への気持ちと向き合わないためだと思う。その気持ちは持っちゃいけないものだから、受け入れないように壁を全部立ててる。受け入れたら家族への裏切りになるからな。

I think the fact that she's doubling down on her duty is a means of trying to avoid facing her feelings for Shinpei because she can't have them and she has to put up every wall she can to stop herself from embracing them because it would be a betrayal to her family.

進平って、殺人狂の腕と癖を持ったまま初恋してる8歳児なんだよな。紗都子を手に入れるには世界中の男を殺せばいいって、本気で思ってるレベル。しかも見捨てるって3回も言っておきながら、子犬みたいに毎回戻ってくる。

Shinpei's like an 8-year old experiencing his first love while still having the skills and tendencies of a homicidal maniac to the point where he thinks murdering every man on Earth is a viable solution to winning Satoko and he also threatens to leave/abandon her three times yet keeps coming back like a puppy dog.

黒幕アオイ。ユカリを始末する算段を立てながら、紗都子の愛の告白も後押ししてやったのに、出てきたのはまるで別の告白だったな。

Aoi the mastermind, plotting Yukari death while trying to give Satoko some push for love confession but it turned out to be a different confession altogether.

進平こそ、ヤンデレ男主人公の最高峰だ。ライバルは全員殺せば、心配なんて一切要らない！

Shinpei is truly a yandere male lead at its finest. You never have to worry about rivals so long as you murder them all!

あいつにとってはいつもの仕事だからな。ただ今回は、金のためだけじゃないってだけで。

It’s all in a day’s work for him, only now he’s doing it for more than a profit lol.

紗都子はもうしばらく行方不明なんだし、政略結婚できる妹たちもいる。これだけ経って紗都子が帰ってきたら、父親は生きてたってだけで喜ぶだろうし、好きな相手との結婚も説得すれば許してくれるかもしれない。

She's already been missing for a while now and she had younger sisters who could marry politically. If Satoko came back after so long. He'd probably be happy just to see she was alive and might be able to be convinced to let her marry who she wants.

それならそれで、最後にあの不気味な笑みはいらなかったと思う。

If that was the case, I don't believe she needed to give that creepy smile at the end.

物置に閉じ込めたのは間違いなくアオイ。紗都子に自分の気持ちを認めさせたかったのかもな。おまけでユカリを怒らせられるし、うまくいけば進平にユカリを始末させられる。

Aoi definitely locked them in the shed, maybe to push Satoko to acknowledge her feelings with the added bonus of pissing off Yukari (and possibly getting her killed by Shinpei)

いや、殺させたいのはユカリの方って意味。アオイをいじめてるからさ。

Oh I meant getting Yukari killed cause she bullies Aoi.

最後のアオイの不穏な笑みが、ただのミスリードであってほしい。進平以外、紗都子が出会う人が全員紗都子を傷つけようとしてるんだとしたら、ひどすぎる世界だろ。

I hope the ominous smile by Aoi at the end of the episode is just a red herring.
Their world is such a bad place if everyone Satoko meets, apart from Shinpei, is out to hurt her.

世界中の男を皆殺しにして自分をさらうって話を、ロマンチックに聞かせてくれる男を見つけな。

Find a guy who makes murdering every man in the world and kidnapping you sound romantic.

あの笑みはユカリに向けたものだって、まだ信じたい。アオイは進平を使ってユカリを消すつもりなんだと思う……そうであってくれ。

I’m still hoping that the smile was more for yukari. I think Aoi is using shinpei to get rid of yukari … hopfully.

遊郭みたいな食うか食われるかの世界に住んでなくて、ほんとよかった。

I sure am glad I do not live in the cutthroat world of brothels.

遊郭の遊女は、友達を作りに来てるわけじゃないからな。

You don't become a courtesan at a brothel to make friends.

まさか5話で嘘が全部バレるとは思わなかった。

Wow I certainly didn't expect all the lies to come out by episode 5.

いや、それは……。回の締めに言うセリフとしては、なかなかのもんだな。

Oh that's... Certainly something for him to say to end the episode.

ある意味、二人はお互いを釣り合わせてると思う。進平は紗都子を守って、家への義務を果たすんじゃなく、自分らしくいられる自由を感じさせてる。紗都子は進平を人間らしくして、進平を壊した世界への共感や思いやりを持たせてる。進平は要するに、気持ちの世話をしてくれる誰かが要る乱暴な子どもで、紗都子がその役をやってるんだよな。

I think they both balance each other out in a way.
Shinpei protects her and helps her feel a sense of freedom to let her be herself instead of having to fulfill her duty to her family.
Satoko humanizes Shinpei and gets him to feel a sense of empathy and care for a world that's broken him. He's basically a violent child in need of someone to tend to his emotions and Satoko ends up doing that.

アオイが胸の痛む恋の話を始めたとたん、まるで信用できなくなった。『The Red Lantern』の裏表のあるキャラに似すぎてるんだよ。

As soon as Aoi started sharing her heart-wrenching love story, I lost all trust in her. She reminds me far too much of the two-faced character from “The Red Lantern.”

原作のこの話を読んだとき、紗都子にマジでイライラしたのを覚えてる、草。いちばんの理由は、名誉を選ぶのが早すぎること。働き始めたばっかりで、評判も無いし、世の中のことも何も知らないのに、自分で命綱を切っちゃったんだから。

I remember getting really annoyed at satako reading this chapter lmao. Mainly because she chose honor way too early. She has barely started working there, has no reputation, doesn’t know anything about the world and just cut off her lifeline.

その会話、どうなるんだろうな。
父「紗都子！生きてたのか！よく帰ってきた！本当に心配したんだぞ！」
紗都子「ただいま、お父様。私も帰れてうれしいです。家の名前のためじゃなく、好きな人と結婚してもいいですか？」
父「もちろんだ。今はそんなことどうでもいい。帰ってきてくれただけでうれしい」
紗都子「よかった、お父様。こちらは進平。人殺しで生計を立てていて、私たち、愛し合ってます」

I wonder how that conversation would even go.
Father: SATOKO! YOU'RE ALIVE! I'M SO HAPPY YOU MADE IT BACK! I WAS SO WORRIED!
Satoko: Hi Dad. I'm happy to be back too. Can I possibly marry someone I like instead of someone for the name?
Father: Absolutely. That doesn't matter right now. I'm just glad you're back.
Satoko: That's great Dad. This is Shinpei. He kills people for a living and we're in love.

アオイ、なんでそんな悪い顔で笑ってるんだよ!?

Aoi why are you smiling sinister-like!?

月がありえないくらいデカいけど、あのカットはそれで決まってる。全部明るみに出た今、二人の気持ちと関係がどう変わるのか気になる。

The moon is so impossibly huge, but it really makes that shot. I'm curious how their feelings and dynamic will change now that everything is out in the open.

最後に。二人は島から出られないっていう、アニメ勢としての自分の説は、まだまだ健在だ。

Lastly my anime-only theory of them never leaving the island is still going strong.

ユカリ「もっと早く助けを求めていれば」
進平「へえ？　じゃあ次はもっと早く言え」
冷たすぎる。進平は凄腕の殺し屋だから、言葉でも殺せるんだよ。本人にそのつもりが無くてもな。

Yukari: If only I’d ask for help sooner.
Shinpei: Oh, then try to speak up sooner next time.
That's ice cold. Shinpei's such a great assassin he could kill with words, as well as without him intending to do so.

紗都子がちょっとかわいそう。父親はすごくいい人で、家の中を悪口ばっか垂れ流す連中がうろついてても、娘のことをすごく大事にしてる。それに父親なら、家の名前のために適当な男と結婚させるより、残りの時間を好きな相手と幸せに過ごしてほしいはずだ。でも今となっては、父親が望んでもいない恩返しをずっと考えてきたせいで、それが鎖みたいに紗都子を縛ってる。父親本人が、優しい言葉で目を覚まさせてくれるといいな。

I kinda feel bad for her. Her father is such a nice person, he cares for her so much even with those wretches roaming in the house with him blabbering all the bad stuff. And I'm pretty sure that he would rather have Satoko be happy with someone she likes in her remaining time, rather than marrying a random dude for family name.
But at this point, after all this time of wanting to repay her father, in a way her father don't even desire to be repayed, it really had bound Satoko like a chain. Hope her father himself knocks some sense into her with kind words.

進平「紗都子、好きだ」
紗都子「ずっと利用してました！」
進平「いや待て、それ返事としておかしくないか……？」

Shinpei: "Satoko, I love you."
Satoko: "I've been using you!"
Shinpei: "Wait, I don't think that's how you're supposed to respond back..."

アオイの事情を忘れちゃったから、アニメ勢と同じくらい続きが気になってる。記憶力が悪いのも、たまにはいいもんだ。同じ話を、別の形で新鮮に楽しめるからな。

I've forgotten what Aoi's deal is so I'm just as curious as anime onlies to find out. Sometimes I like having a terrible memory. It lets me experience the same story anew in different formats. 😀

最後のアオイのあの笑みな。閉じ込めたのは三人の遊女の誰かで、もっと回りくどい話になると思ってた。でもまさか、アオイまで紗都子の敵だったとは。

Aoi with the smile at the end. I thought it would be more roundabout if one of the 3 girls locked them up. But damn didn't expect her to be against Satoko too.

花言葉ネタ。ツユクサは「蛍草」とも「月草」とも呼ばれてて、だからこの回のあの場面で月があんなに目立ってたんだ。オープニングに出てくる花と同じで、この作品を象徴する花でもある。花言葉の世界だとちょっと危険信号な植物で、進平やこの話全体と同じだな。

Flower language: Asiatic Dayflower. Also known as hotarukusa (蛍草; "firefly grass") or tsukikusa (月草; "moon grass"), which is why the moon was so prominent in that scene this episode. Same flower as in the OP and the main flower used to represent the series. In hanakotoba it's a bit of a red flag plant, just like Shinpei and the rest of this story.

進平のヤンデレっぷりが、今回の暴露で感じたはずの裏切りを全部上書きしてる。こいつマジで、紗都子が結婚しようとする相手は、自分しか残らなくなるまで全員殺すって言ったからな。どんな口説き方だよ、草。

Shinpei’s yandere qualities continue to override any feelings of betrayal he had about this revelation. Dude literally said he would kill anyone else she tries to marry until he’s the only option left. What kind of flirting is that my guy lol?

全部バレたのに、進平はまだ紗都子にベタ惚れっぽい。なんなら前より。紗都子も変わってきてる。脅されても取り乱しすらしなかったし、それどころか進平を傷つけたことの方を気にしてた。あのちっこいサイコに惚れかけてるな、これは。

Even with everything revealed, it looks like Shinpei is still into Satoko. Maybe even more so than before. She’s changing too. I mean she didn’t even freak out when he threatened her. In fact, she felt worse about hurting him than anything. Guess she’s catching feelings for that little psycho.

もう惚れてると思う。進平が意地悪な遊女たちとつるんでるのに嫉妬してたし、恋愛の気持ちがゼロならそうはならないだろ。

I think she kind of already did. I don't think she would be jealous of the mean girls spending time with Shinpei if she felt nothing romantic for him.

少なくとも、紗都子本人はそう思ってるんだろうな。父親は、娘がいい家に嫁いで面倒を見てもらって、家の名前が続くことを当然望んでる。でもいちばんの願いは、娘が好きな相手と一緒になることなんだよ。だから無理に決めずに、縁談を断らせてるんだと思う。説得は要るだろうし、たぶん相当要る。それでも、いずれ二人の結婚を認める父親の姿は想像できる。

Or at least that what she thinks. Her dad obviously wants her to marry into a good family so she's taken care of and the family name lives on, but what he wants first and foremost is for his daughter to be with someone she loves. That's probably why he's letting her refuse suitors when he could just force the issue. He would definitely take some convincing, probably a lot of convincing, but I can see her father approving of their marriage eventually.

ミスリードは無いと思う。アオイは紗都子に、恋を追いかけろって背中を押してたからな。ただでさえ遊女たちは紗都子にピリピリしてるのに、そこへ火に油を注ぐのは、わざとに決まってる。あの笑みが、仕返しとして紗都子と進平をくっつけたいって意味なら別だけど。その説も、自分では弱いと思う。

I doubt it's a red herring because you also had Aoi trying to push Satoko to pursue love. The girls are already on edge with Satoko adding more to the fire in this case has to be intentional. Unless the smile wants Satoko to be with Shinpei as pay back. But even that theory feels weak to me.

利用されてたと知っても離れられないくらい、進平は紗都子に沼ってる。重症すぎる。

She's got him so hooked on her that even finding out she was using him wasn't enough to turn him away.
He's too down bad.

この二人のヤンデレ関係、かなり有害なのに、場面の音楽と感情はロマンチックに見せてるのがちょっとヤバい。紗都子はもう進平を好きなんだと思う。でも脅しだらけのこの流れで、いざ選んだとき、本当に強制なしで選んだって感じられるのか？紗都子は何から何まで進平に頼ってて、進平はどう転んでも紗都子の自由を事実上許してない。それでも、紗都子が本当の計画を打ち明けて、進平がそれでも一緒にいると決めたのは、まだかなり不釣り合いだけど少なくとも前進だ。最後にはもっと健全になってるといいな。こういう恋愛の描き方、あんまり見ないけど。

Its kinda crazy how toxic this yandere relationship is between them while the music and emotions in the scene are playing it off as romantic lol. I think she does love him already, but the way its going with all of his threats. Is it really going to feel like she picked him with no coercion when she does? She relies on him for everything and he's basically forbidding her freedom no matter what. This was at least a step in the right direction with her telling him her real plan and him deciding to stay with her anyway even though its still very imbalanced. I do have hope it will be healthier by the end. You don't see many romances play out like this though.

冷たくされようが、裏切られようが、絶対に一緒にならないって言い張られようが関係ない。紗都子が自分の、それも自分だけのものになるまで、進平は諦めない。でも紗都子が進平を大事に思ってて、その気持ちが本物だと受け入れてるからこそ、もう嘘をつき続けられないんだよな。

It doesn't matter if she's cold to him, it doesn't matter if she betrays him, it doesn't matter if she is adamant she'll never be with him, he won't give up until she's his and ONLY his. But it's only because she cares about him and accepts that his feelings are sincere that she can't keep lying to him.

愛する女の夫候補を、片っ端から殺すって約束するロマンス。

The romance of promising to kill every possible other husband of the woman you love.

うわぁ……
あ、紗都子が聞いたな……
これはすぐに変わりそうだ。
あ、先週言ってたの、冗談じゃなかったのか。
紗都子、考えすぎてる。
この三人、ほんとひどいな。
おお、後藤がユカリにそれ聞いたのか？
ああ、ユカリはこうやってそれを知るわけね。
ユカリは紗都子についてデタラメをでっち上げると思ってたら、新渡戸のほうだった。うわぁ。でも後藤が軽く流したから無駄骨だったな、草。
さあ、大きな質問が来た〜！
サプライズ後藤！
誰かが二人を閉じ込めた？
人殺しのところを除けば、後藤ってほんとおちゃめなおバカだな。
これは間違いなく、めちゃくちゃロマンチックなセリフだ。
本当のことを話してる……どうなるんだ？
うーん……
結局、出ていかないのか？
ああ、Catbox が今アップロードできないからリンクは貼れないけど、後藤の「それはどうかな」が出た！
あの笑み……アオイ、見た目ほど無邪気じゃないってことか？

Yeesh…
Oh, Satoko asked…
I’m sure that’ll be changing soon.
Oh. Oh they weren’t kidding about that last week.
Satoko is overthinking things now.
Man these three are just awful.
Oh wow, Goto asked Yukari that?
Ah, this is how Yukari finds out about that.
Here I thought Yukari was going to make up some bullshit about Satoko, not Nitobe. Wow. Though it was for nothing since Goto just shrugged it off lol.
There’s the big question~!
Surprise Goto!
Someone locked them both in there?
Man, outside of the whole murdering thing, Goto is such a goofy goober.
This is definitely some hella romantic dialogue.
She’s telling him the truth… What’s going to happen now?
Mm…
He’s not leaving after all?
Ah, can’t link it because of Catbox not allowing uploads at the moment, but Goto had a “sore wa dou kana”!
That smile… Aoi’s not as innocent as she seems, huh?

アオイが二人を閉じ込めたのは間違いなく、ユカリを動かして、進平にユカリを始末させるためだろ……じゃなきゃ、最後のあの不気味な笑みは何なんだよ？

So Aoi definitely locked them up to manipulate Yukari to make a move, so Shinpei gets rid of her.... Otherwise wtf was that sinister smile at the end?

何なんだよその笑みは、アオイ!?　閉じ込めたのはアオイってこと？　それとも、あの笑みはユカリに向けたもの？

What the f**k is that smile, Aoi?! Does that mean she's the one who locked them in? Or was that smile for Yukari?
