I think it's interesting that Kazui, Mr "My Father wanted me to be a Strong Man" is the only prisoner so far who's Es cover thumbnail is just the different shades of a solid colour.
Yes, blue is the colour of his prison uniform, but I also don't think its a coincidence that they chose the blue = boy colour for our guy over here.
On a similar vein, I think it's interesting how Yuno's two colours are Blue and Pink, especially with their specific placements
The Pink part of Yuno is her Body, which makes sense seeing as that's what her (male) clients are paying for, not Yuno, but the Body and Personality that they enjoy - whether that be for sex or for dates or both.
The Blue part of Yuno is her Brain, aka: where the real Yuno lies. The Yuno that says lines in Teardrop like:
“Poor naive little girl”? So off the mark, what's it to you?"
"INNOCENT? I'm so not that."
It makes me think that the reason why Kazui only has the one colour is because, while the thought of acting different is there - his "dreams" - he feels like they could never be reality, it's not even an option to him, therefore it isn't shown. Only his traditional man facade is there

I love the music this episode. So foreboding for the Demeter section, and then so light and charming for Mina.
Speaking of Mina, I love how she opens with Lucy "looking sweeter and lovelier than ever" - because obviously, Lucy looking sweet and lovely at all times is a given, she's just more so currently. ^_^ She has some lovely descriptions, reminiscent of Jonathan - she too is painting a word-picture for him to possibly read later. But it soon diverts into history and legend and spookiness, because of course it does, she enjoys that stuff. ...actually, graveyards being treated almost like public parks wasn't that uncommon at the time I think, but it's still fun and her interest in spooky stories is apparent elsewhere in the entry too. I love how Mina is planning to come back here and work often: it's that preparation for the future again. She's so eager to get started, and possibly in a little bit of the 'I'm going to get so much done this summer' phase, though I have way more faith in her ability to stick to the plan than my own. But she really is obviously excited to build up her skills (presumably working on typing and stenography) and I love how you can really feel her effort (and her enjoyment in the effort) to be like lady journalists here. All those descriptions and interviewing Mr. Swales...
Speaking of Mr. Swales, he sounds so sweet. Lovable grandpa acquired; well done Mina!

From King-Ohger's writer, Takano Minato, for Day of the Tools
[a pun on 10/9 (tō/ku) & 道具 (dougu). Yano Masato had the number 109 on his baseball jersey hosting the ceremonial pitch.]
A dialogue between Racules and Suzume after the wedding.
Suzume had her eyes fixed on the wedding ring she received from Racules.
Racules: It's just a makeshift. You won't get more than a penny if you sell it.
Suzume: Who do you think I am?! The fruit of love between Racules-sama and I is not something to put a price on!
Racules: ...Sometimes I wonder how sane you are.
Suzume: Nothing to wonder. My love for Racules-sama is enough to drive me mad!
Racules: Love? You mean hatred, Suzume Dybowski.
Suzume: (´◔ ₃ ◔`) eh?
Racules: For your country, become its tool… At this point, where is the logic for you to stay sane?
Suzume: ...Toufu's women, we keep our feet firm on the ground. Therefore, we will not easily stray from the path we believe in :D
A sudden smile appeared on Racules.
Racules: Just as I thought, you are a lost cause.
Racules stepped away to leave.
Racules: That ring, it shines in the sun. Careful, don't burn your eyes.
Suzume looked at the ring, then at the back of Racules.
Suzume: …Enough! Saying things like "don't go mad" is forbidden~!!!
Suzume caught up to Racules in a dash. Racules treated her like serious trouble.
Soon, the duel shall begin, for the second time.

結婚式後、ラクレスとスズメの会話。
スズメは、結婚式でラクレスにもらった指輪を見つめている。
ラ 「間に合わせだ。売ったところで二束三文にしかならない」
ス 「私を何だと思ってらっしゃるの!?私とラクレス様の愛の結晶に、値段などつけられませんわ」
ラ 「…時に君の正気を疑うことがある」
ス 「無理もありません。ラクレス様への愛が、私を狂わせるんですもの!」
ラ 「愛ではなく、憎しみだろう。スズメ・ディボウスキ」
ス 「ほえ?」
ラ 「国のため、道具にされ続け、それでも正気でいられる道理は何だ」
ス 「…トウフの女は、地に足ついてこそ。信ずる道を、踏み外したりはしませんわ」
ラクレスがふっと微笑む。
ラ 「やはり度し難いな」
ラクレスが立ち去ろうと歩き出す。
ラ 「その指輪は、太陽を浴びて輝く。目を焼かれぬよう、気をつけろ」
スズメが指輪を見て、ラクレスの背中を見つめる。
ス 「もぅ…狂うなと言う方が罪ですわーっ!!!」
スズメ、ラクレスをダッシュで追いかけ、ラクレスが本当に面倒くさそうにあしらう。
間も無く、二度目の決闘裁判が始まる。

Doodle, they are my favorite superheros and I want them to be friends <3
Edit: I didn't really bother with references with most of this so Wordgirl's hair ended up way too light and it's bothering me So Much and I can't change it because I merged a bunch of layers after finishing aufhdfhgh
Bonus: an unfinished two brains and doctor octopus bc of @professor-boxleitner 's tags on my previous spider-man post ^v^!
The Simpsons "money can be exchanged for goods and services" meme but it's Doc Ock convincing Two Brains he'll get cheese if he helps him with his goals
