Happy Birthday, Fuuta! (~600 word yap session about T3 Fuuta predictions + phoenix symbolism under the cut because I am incredibly excited for his birthday TL and have English this semester.)

To establish some background, Fuuta is described as “good-hearted” on the wiki page, and in the past he has stated he cares for Haruka, but usually when we see him he’s just being an asshole (or “caring” in strange ways like… offering Mahiru a tomato on her birthday???)

But in the TL since his 2023 TL with Amane and her preaching to him, we have actually seen Fuuta being OVERTLY caring. Although he may have always been good-hearted deep down, he’s always been a pretty big asshole on the surface so it’s still a massive change for him.

Putting these two TLs side by side, we can also see his tone has visibly changed - he’s referring to Mahiru by name (I don’t think he’s ever done so before in any TL 😭), and he’s a lot more hesitant, soft spoken, and thoughtful.

I think his mannerisms stem partly from Amane’s influence, but also from the remnants of his desire to act as a “hero”. With those combined, Fuuta is likely letting his kinder side show more often as a means for “salvation” - namely being forgiven, essentially “repenting for his sins”. 

Now, what happens now that he IS forgiven? Fuuta’s primary symbol is fire, which can be likened to his strong beliefs. In T2 this “fire” in him is slowly withering out, yet also being replaced by… whatever this new “salvation” thing is. The purpose of the voting in Trial 1 and 2 is to affirm/deny the prisoner’s beliefs, so this new fire - his new beliefs - are being metaphorically reignited.

That’s where the phoenix symbolism comes in. We also see him literally burning to ashes in Backdraft, potentially representing the death of his former self.

And what rises from the ashes? The phoenix, obviously! Phoenixes are known to resurrect themselves after death, in some interpretations dying by their own fire, bearing similarities to Fuuta being burnt by his own “fire” in Backdraft. With his forgiven vote, a new kind of fire may be ignited within him hence the rebirth of the phoenix.

This is a stretch, but fun fact: the Chinese phoenix, mostly used in Eastern mythology, is denoted by the characters 鳳凰 (Fènghuáng) with etymology related to the character for wind… which happens to be in the Kanji for Fuuta’s name (風汰 or Fēngtài in Chinese pinyin).

Phoenixes are also like angels but with fire. This isn’t a well-researched point, it’s just that Amane has angel symbolism/wings in Magic and wings combined with Fuuta’s fire symbolism is just a phoenix. Yeah.

With all that being said… Happy birthday, Fuuta. Today is certainly a good day to be reborn.

this. literally this

yes jamil may have hurt kalim and abused his magic but what was he supposed to do in that situation 😭😭?

not like he could just try to talk to kalim when he was quite literally pressured by family bc of his position

No bc I genuinely think people have no fucking idea how severe his situation is like bro

Jamil CANNOT talk to Kalim like they're best friends.

What if you were a servant and been told "your master is above you!!" your whole life?

Oh, you'd still treat your master the same as everyone else?

Yeah because you've been taught to be your own person. Jamil has not. That's the thing.

I feel like that's the thing of people who aren't able to grip on Jamil's hatred for Kalim. He's been taught that he is below Kalim. Everything in his life is about Kalim.

However, people just condense it and put it as "Jamil being hypocrital and abusive."

And yeah, he did abuse his magic.

He did was abuse his magic and betrayed Kalim's trust but what the fuck do you do when your life is below another person's and been told that by YOUR PARENTS.

And being hypocrital is such a weak statement considering that he is a servant and Kalim is the master who is RICHER and also STILL MAKES JAMIL DO SHIT FOR HIM EVEN THOUGH JAMIL IS LIKE "DUDE I DONT HAVE ANY TIME FOR THIS!"

And yes, he does still do shit for Kalim but THAT'S LITERALLY HIS JOB AND WHAT HE'S BEEN TAUGHT TO DO HIS WHOLE LIFE???

Resisting the Al-Asim family could get his family killed but yall are like "nuh uh, he could've talked to Kalim!!!"
