The Snapping Point

"By that, do you mean Mr. A from national idol group A?" asks Becky. Trust her to state the obvious.



This is Aiba's trademark smile that will be printed on his autobiography in 10 year's time.


Look at Aiba being chased by dozens of adoring fans! You'll have the squint carefully or you'll miss it.

I wish I had video editing skills like this fan! Very, very creative. This is done by the wonderful 思月如故 from Tudou. I just merely translated the video here. *is itching to write fic*



Synopsis: Kagura (Platinum Data) plays a genius who's on the run from his lover cum detective, Katayama (Mikeneko Holmes).

Kagura: Are you suspecting me?
Katayama: That's right.

Katayama: I've prepared myself mentally.
Kagura: Which means I can trust you, right?
Kagura: TRUST ME! I am NOT the culprit!
Katayama: Nooo!

Even within this endless darkness
Katayama: I have a plan.

Where time seems intangible
Caption: Where the culprit is his ex-lover

If there’s a way that will allow our memories to remain unchanged
Kagura: But you love me, don't you?
Police: Okay, go in, NOW.

Please tell me
Katayama: Are you telling me that I've been taken off this investigation?

Even if my wish can’t come true
Caption: In an unexpected development

Even if this world doesn’t have the answers
Kagura: If you weren't a cop, what would you do?

Only that the way we love is determined by our DNA
Katayama: I'm a cop! At least I still am! That's why I want to protect the victims.

With Kagiheya, my personal catharsis came in the form of crossover fanfiction; but for the current season of Last Hope, I though it'd be more appropriate to do a character analysis. You'll find commentaries and parts of Dr. Takumi's dialogue here, so don't say I didn't warn you about SPOILERS.




( You say some pretty harsh things while smiling, you know? )

By the time I finished translating the whole thing, I was so sure that I had read this somewhere before. If you happened to be the person who translated it when the article came out, I apologise! It’s hard to keep track in fandom.

Aiba Masaki is a person who “lives in the now.” Without worrying about what’s happening around him, he fully drinks in the moment and expresses his feelings of gratitude with all his strength. In any case, the important thing is to enjoy life with a smile. In fact, that scintillating smile of his has become his greatest message.

( If I can go through life with a smile, somehow, something good will happen. )
