Olympia Soiree Part 4 - Yosuga Route

Damn, when Yosuga appeared and put those drunks bothering Byakuya in their place, I didn't even recognise his voice for a moment because of how cold he sounded. I guess that's "Lord Jigoku" talking and not Yosuga. Camelia running out of power scared me for a moment, I thought she broke lol! Glad to know it's just because Yosuga has been too busy to wind her spring so she "fell asleep". LMAO at everyone commenting on how fat Daifuku has become because Byakuya has been feeding him too well🤣 I found it so funny seeing Daifuku next to a real daifuku lollll. Omggg the colourful xiao long bao is so pretty!! I remember eating something like that before, honestly normal ones are the best, but I have to admit that seeing the various colours and sharing it with someone, choosing and trying the different colours is a fun experience in itself. Wait, I totally forgot, but Yosuga is only 20 years old?! Dang, he always acts so mature, I thought he was older than that loll, now I feel like I'm a granny compared to him🤣

Um, I didn't expect that. Yosuga is the only Purple left because his people all died from haku and he is the lone survivor? Okay, the past of the Purple is quite morbid. I wonder how frightening it must have been for Yosuga as a child to witness his older sister be the first to contract haku and then have it spread like a plague and be basically surrounded by death. The land being purified by flames is a very scary thought...and how unfair that they threw Yosuga to Yomi because he was outside the district that day and "survived". Really unfair that Yosuga has to bear the burden and "punishment" for being a Purple that let haku spread (since they didn't tell anyone and tried to cure it themselves apparently). Kinda crazy that they forbid Yosuga from "mating" though, like how controlling can they get for this guy. When Yosuga put candy in the letterbox for Byakuya, my heart felt so warm, he's so attentive and caring. Omggggg the CG of Byakuya and Yosuga with the cherry blossoms!! So beautiful!!! Well, honestly I was wondering why more men weren't "using" the women in Yomi to procreate and hope for their perfect colour children, so it's nice to know that Yosuga's existence changed that. I wonder how he did it and how he got all this power tbh.

It's cute how Byakuya realises that she likes Yosuga, I wonder what she'll do~ How nice that Tsukuyomi was the one who took care of Yosuga when he was little and left in Yomi by himself! I guess he could have been considered Byakuya's big brother if they actually got to bond haha. I really liked how Yosuga's words helped Byakuya realise what she wants her role in this island to be and have the resolve to do it. I honestly never thought of the idea that Byakuya could be the Leader of the White and one day lead her own clan with her children, the thought of it is actually really cool! I think it's really nice, especially since everyone has been pressuring her and telling her that her job is to have children so that the sun will not die with her, but now with Yosuga talking about her becoming a leader, she's decided that rather than living for others and listening to them, she actually wants to live for herself and choose for herself that she wants children because she wants to do that. It's just sad that her realisation also made her think that she definitely can't allow her feelings for Yosuga because he is forbidden to mate. Anyway it's sad to think that Yosuga and Kuroba had to witness an older sister that took care of them commit suicide and be decomposing with haku (after not being able to handle the stress of being raped). It's nice that it pushed Yosuga to protect other women in Yomi who are vulnerable, but yeah it's sad that they couldn't help her and had to see her body like that. I'm fascinated that Sakyo actually wants Yosuga to get married with Byakuya and mate so he can have more "White samples" through their kids, considering women of the White can only have daughters that will be borne of the White. I guess this rule where Yosuga is forbidden to mate is veryyyy flexible lol.

I've always wondered whether it was possible to go back to Tennyo Island, so it's kinda interesting to know that Tsukuyomi lied and Byakuya can actually go back, and the island would "welcome" her by getting rid of the whirlpools. Yosuga honestly makes me feel very confused haha. He seems to have such a love-hate relationship with Byakuya? He seems to "hate" her because he's always been told by the people of the Purple how terrible and scary women of the White are, especially since they have killed someone from the Purple before, but at the same time, Tsukuyomi told Yosuga all sorts of stories about Byakuya to him, and I feel like those stories made Yosuga come to "love" this girl that he never met. And then at the same time, it feels like Yosuga wants to die, and that's why he kept trying to push Byakuya to use Batsu on him by inappropriately touching her, even though it definitely made Byakuya less bothered than he thought lol. I feel so terrible for Yomogi, she just rejected a guy from the Yellow who had a wife and child, and he felt so humiliated that he accused her for seducing him and nearly got her executed for it! Glad Shura and them were able to stop that and just have her sent to Yomi, but it's pretty crap that this guy had enough power to even do that to the poor girl. I'm glad Byakuya has been able to help Yomogi and her mother reconnect through letters, I think that's wonderful. Yomi has always been a place so disconnected from the surface, so having these letters must give a lot of comfort to people who have always wondered how their children are doing down there.

Oh, so the previous leader of the Blue, Shura's husband was the one who "cleansed" the Purple with flames😮 Aww, Byakuya found out Yosuga built the letterbox for her, he's so sweet. I'm really happy about how Byakuya proudly told Kanan to publish to the world that she wants to take Yosuga as her husband, and to call him the best guy ever hahaha, she's so cool. Did Yosuga meet Byakuya as a child? Ooh, so, young Byakuya asked Tsukuyomi to give young Yosuga a seashell she found to kinda cheer him up since he just lost his parents and older sister, and had become all alone. Damn, Yosuga seducing Byakuya and telling her he wanted to go all the way with her was pretty hot hahaha, it's just too bad that I'm unfortunately not really feeling it for Yosuga's route, so I don't feel that much of an emotional connection to him even though I really like him as a character. Still cute though, especially when he kept blushing and kicked her out before he really couldn't control himself after she told him that he's her soulmate hahaha.

Even though the route hasn't really been that engaging to me, Yosuga speaking with Douma and asking for his permission to marry Byakuya was actually really heartwarming. I loved how he said he came from the depths of Yomi to the surface because he couldn't bear to be apart from her any longer. It legit made me swoon hahaha, and when he said he believes that Byakuya would not kill him even though he knows that she's capable of it and has mutilated Douma's hand. His firm belief in her and his resolve to be with her is just touching. Honestly, considering Shura's words all the time, it's unsurprising that her husband, the previous leader of the Blue, Akon was a vile jerk that raped Yosuga's sister hoping for her to bear his children, since Shura couldn't. When Shura revealed that she had haku though..it clicked why Sakyo was always so desperate on finding a cure, to the point that he's willing to sacrifice anyone in his way. I'm glad Olympia knew to make a deal with Sakyo and Shura though. She has the upper hand considering they need her body for experiments, so I'm really happy she's using what she has to protect Yosuga and her future children from being touched by them, and also articulating the need for progress in having the people of Yomi get to go to surface and stuff like that into becoming a reality instead of always being brushed aside as "impossible". It's really sweet how much Byakuya really wants this island to change for the better, whether it be the people's quality of life or to finding the cure for haku. It's nice to see Yosuga be able to finally cry properly in Byakuya's arms, and have a resolution to his sister's death after all these years.

I guess it's fitting for them to have sex for the first time at Tennyo Island haha, it’s where everything started, whether it be when she first gave him that seashell as a kid or when he showed her more of himself, and how much he wanted her to kill him. Anyway, I really love Yosuga's voice, but I have to admit that I really don't think their relationship is very romantic or sweet at all loll! Otherwise, Byakuya with purple hair is nice! I'm also glad that Yosuga feels like there's meaning to living now even after finding out the truth of his sister's death. He's felt trapped for so many years, it would be nice to see him with less burdens. Awww, I love how the ring he gave her is made out of moonlight shells (whatever they are), it's such a fitting ring for their love haha. Aww, so cute to see Asuha and Camelia get to see the sea, it's nice to think about how much potential growth there is for everyone, especially since Yomi will have a school too. Asuha can be a doctor like Kuroba🥲 Anyway, both bad endings are pretty sad, although I have to question the one where Byakuya uses Batsu on Yosuga... Like considering how fearful she is of using it and everything, I honestly can't imagine her doing it regardless of how much she "loves" Yosuga and wants to "save" him. Otherwise, the one where Byakuya becomes a lifeless puppet doing Sakyo's bidding in order to get Yosuga back from him was pretty devastating. Guess Yosuga was right to have been so harsh towards Sakyo, I guess I forgot how ruthless he can get when it comes to protecting Shura. Still shocked that Shura is actually his sister though. Btw, the CG of Byakuya was super beautiful despite the terrible situation. I love the short story where they bathe together though, that was niceeee!

Overall, I'm honestly pretty disappointed in Yosuga's route. He's so great as a side character, but sigh. I think I have to agree with a lot of other comments I've read where things just kinda go down after they go to Tennyo Island. Like, I get how Yosuga is a guy carrying a lot of pain and wanting to die, but the whole thing where he wanted to force her to kill him and that if she doesn't, then maybe she loves him enough that he'll try another way was just weird imo lol. He also quite uncomfortably can go too far considering how much he advocates for consent for the women in Yomi lol. Anyway, I think my biggest problem with this route was that the sequence of events felt clunky and never really flowed nicely for me. The ending was also solved very simply (as usual) considering how big of a problem it was for everything. However, I do appreciate getting more insight into Sakyo and Shura's actions, and I quite love how protective they are of each other. I guess you can say, Yosuga was also more childish than I thought and he didn't have a lot of the charm he showed in the common route, which was very saddening. I also don't think his CGs are very great either so it dampened my enjoyment even more lol. The romance was definitely lacking, and the sex scene etc was really cut short lol! Like yeah, they don't really show or say anything explicit usually, but Tokisada's and Riku's ones definitely felt much more passionate and engaging. But yeah, honestly it was a drag for me to finish Yosuga's route and I'm glad it's over. I guess I found it difficult to empathise with Yosuga even though his story was sad. It was nice that Byakuya and Yosuga both experienced similar circumstances where they both lost everyone in their clan and had become all alone, it made it feel sweet that they could both find someone they could connect with even though I like them more as individuals than together lol.
