THAT WAS INTENSE!! The Summer Hikaru Died (光が死んだ夏) Episode 3 | Reaction!!

[Music] Hey, beautiful people. Welcome back to another The Summer Cut Dide episode 3. Oh my god, I’m a little bit late. Like, well, not late. Like, not a little, but two days late, but I’m I’m here and I’m I’ve been thinking about this anime. Honestly, this anime is too good. I’m so interested. Yes, there is the freaking horror aspect, but I’m trying so hard like not to freak out too much. And I’m sorry if if that’s like annoying to you because like excuse me that moments in in the forest was one of the most scariest eeriest moments I have seen and I cannot even think about it because I get scared even thinking about it and I don’t know if that’s the case for you guys or not but I have been just like trying so hard not to think about it and then we got that intimate more intimate than intimacy if that even make any any sense. That moment with the freaking marinated raw chicken moment, if you know what I mean. Oh my god, that felt like an 18 plus moment. It’s just it was so intense, so interesting. And I I don’t know how to describe it, but like oh my god, that was just like that was that was a moment there. like the whole thing like I feel like they are really so far they have been doing such a perfect such as like amazing incredible job to portrayed like horror mystery psychological stuff and all of that and another thing is like that scene in the convenience store last episode has been in my mind since like I saw it and I I know like I’ve been telling the lady like freaking shut shut the heck like shut up because of how literally the freaking detailed that whole thing was of how much she knows. And that’s just how it is with small towns and villages. And it’s so like it’s so scary. It’s so scary. Like I was going to comment on it in first episode when a neighbor was like like uh I noticed you had your light on all all night. I’m like lady, how what is what? Like how did you know? first of all, you know, but like that’s just how it is. And that’s just scary. That’s freaking creepy. That’s so creepy. But like it’s like everyone is in your business. And that’s the thing with that even that moment in the gym and everything because I have been I don’t know if I even said it or not. I’m pretty sure Yoshki likes men or at least he likes Hikaru definitely in that way, right? I’m I’m not sure if I’m reading it right or not. And then Hikaru, at least the original Hikaru for from those little flashbacks seemed to test Yoshki even though he’s mentioning like, you know, you’re going to get a hot girlfriend or it just felt like he was testing him to see if he might confess or anything like to prove no, I’m not getting like a girlfriend or anything. I don’t know, but it feels like that. But then we got the the alien, the other Hikaru, I guess, the entity Hikaru, uh, telling him that he likes him alone when he asked. And then he literally tears poured out and it was like like he never said that to me. And I wonder if them being in a small town or village had like like has things to do with that. It’s like if because if they were in a big city, I don’t think that would have been a pro like that that would I don’t think that would have been a problem. like they would be just together and it’s no one’s business and everyone honestly like just mind their own business unless they don’t you know but in in small towns and villages not only I I don’t want to judge them already but like I said small town small villages like that scene in the convenience store should already tell us much of like how much they know how much they know about his family there’s his situation his family situation like with the parents with like little sister was it ku him himself and like all of that. They keep like commenting like you should like cut your hair like you know these things that happens in like small town towns and like villages and this is like already the concept of this anime is already horror and this is actually creepy and scary like just that not only to mention what like the other whole thing that that’s that’s been happening you know so it’s just like a whole thing that’s going on and oh my god I I’m just so so interested and like I said I wonder because it seems like even the other and I wonder if it’s because of the original Hikaru’s like memories and feelings or is it the actual like the other Hikaru? I don’t know how what to call it like I don’t know what to call it like the alien Hikaru the entity Hikaru like has actually feelings for Yoshki because from what I’ve seen just in episode 2 it feels like that. It feels like that but who knows it feels like it does have feelings for Yoshki. I’m call I’m calling it it. But you know um so I I don’t know like if that’s going to develop and if it does like is it even going to develop because of the villagers? You know what I mean? Because of the the people in town. So it it’s just like all too interesting not to mention the company. Who are they? Like are we going to meet more people from there or is it going to be just this guy like Tanaka was his name right? Tanaka was his name. And what about the burn in his neck? Uh uh the sunglasses. What about that? Like he always wears something. So is he hiding something there? Maybe he doesn’t have one eye or like he lost it like fighting these things because it seems like the company does these things. So who are they in the first place? And so many questions and this is just too good. This anime is too good. In conclusion, this has been amazing so far. The animation, the sounds, the everything. everything. It’s just it gives you such an unsettling feelings and in some moments you’re like laughing or you’re in the moment but then they hit you with the freaking just scariest moments you you ever seen. It’s just like a lot of things a lot of things going on and I’m loving it. I’m sorry for making this this intro long and I I knew that if I start was talking about previous episodes and just like episode one and two, I would not shut up and I need to.

By the way, I I have been listening to the intro uh to the opening ending has been amazing, but I did not watch it. So, it would be interesting. Oh, again with the format. Oh my god. Stop with them as kids. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s just started. But I Okay, I need Okay, by the way, I might be drinking No, I might be. I will be drinking coffee. Hopefully that’s not annoying for you. But you’re not showing me them as a kids. Oh my god. I’m I’m going to die. I already absolutely love the the character design of both the characters. Oh my god. Why are you showing me this? I’m going to cry. Oh my god. Oh, that’s Co, right? His dad. The father. My god. No. The father is like laughing in the freaking corner. They are They’re actually scared. Yep. Oh my god. I’m not skipping the intro. Don’t even give me that option. Oh my god. These visuals are just perfect. Oh my god. Sorry. Oh, we’re back. Uh the same image, but this time it’s like, oh, is he thinking of contacting her? Watermelon. Oh my god, I love the sounds. I love the images we started. It’s kind of like the ending [Music] like that format. It’s like, oh, that’s that’s the month. Oh, it says it with like a like a flashback obviously and then now present time but with like that first scene is like literally same visuals. [Music] Interesting. Oh my god. Oh, okay. It is it is the alien one. I know that, too. Of course, he knows like, “Excuse me, you are.” H I love that sound. Ah, sunflowers. I’m sorry. I’m just mesmerized by everything. Oh my god, why are they so pretty? Also kind of awesome. [Music] Even that memory. Interesting smash. Oh my god. Also, I I wonder what Yuski is. I I hope we get another inside perspective of him like we did in episode one. I want to know. And literally same thing happening here. Even though that’s not the real Hikaru, but it’s like with the memories and everything. Oh. Oh. Okay. I just asked for his perspective and Okay. Like his thought. I love his eyes, man. [Music] is exactly what I should have done. Tell you how I really feel. Let’s go back. I just wanted to make sure you knew how I felt. And he said, “I should have done. That’s exactly what I should I should have done. Tell you how I really feel like before you you died.” Oh my god. That’s just so sad. That’s so sad. Did he die in the mountain? He really looks like his dad again. That’s his father when again. Nobody allowed to climb around the same time of Okay. Oh my god, I love these photos, by the way. Okay. Is he Is he Is he imitating Har sensei there? He always does that expression. It It’s so interesting how beauty marks are on his mother and his father, but it’s on I don’t think it’s on him, Hikaru’s parents. But then Yoski has it and his obviously his father has it too. But let me not talk about that. Let’s talk about this. You’re telling me. So So the ritual is actually something that just done every year. But for some reason this time the ritual just did not succeed. The ritual failed. Huh. Like I time passed, right? He I’m pretty sure hopefully I’m I’m not misreme remembering his father died at around that time, right? when they were still kids. Years later, when Hikaru became when Hikaru like got a little bit older, even though he’s he was still in high school, he went to the mountain at the same time of the year that his dad did. And he died, too. But this time, Hikaru came back with well, not the Hikaru, the original, not the real one, but the entities. I’m calling it noni unuki sama. Unuki Samasa like came into his body from my understanding even though he had that stone that like uh supposedly like can wander off like like uh that can like protect you. It it’s so interesting. So like how did what what this ritual is about and how like how did it fail? If if it succeeded previously, why did it fail on this village? Because I think a school is not at the village. At least I think so. Oh, there we go. There we go again. Is this the denial? Oh, e. But I get it. It’s too overwhelming. Oh, he’s still thinking about it. He might actually do it this time, huh? Like I literally just asked about his inner thought and then we get in it. So he doesn’t want to to to go along with it. Oh my god. Do you guys see his eyes? He said ano. Ano? Oh, he sent a message. Okay. Is it just me? At least he did it himself before getting up because we did not see him. Okay. Is it just me? Do you guys Did you guys see I’m I’m pretty sure you saw it. Did you guys see the the phone? Is it Yoshki? Before he got up, he did that. Like look where he put it right. Look, he put it. Where is it now? Nah, man. Nah, even Hikaru’s position changed. I think Oh my god. The Unuki inside of Hikaru saw the message, I guess. Does he know that that lady can sense things? And um that’s something I noticed like is doesn’t that lady look like an was it her name? Anchan Achan like the one who sends things who went with them in the mountain. My god it was like looking at her when she was like talking about like they canceled each other and all of that. So I wonder Oh my god now I’m really really really scared. We got to see Yoski. We got to hear Yoski’s inner thought that he like he said like I cannot keep doing this. I cannot keep going like this. It’s so crazy. Like he’s struggling with his emotions, man. That’s so sad. That’s so messed up. Ah, it’s so interesting. Ah, this is too good. Okay. Did he check his phone? Uh, it’s not on his back. Are you ready to scared? Did he got to follow them though? Is he going to follow them? So, okay. Okay. So, I guess I was reading too much into it. So, the phone did not move. It was just there. I guess Yoshki before getting up. Like, we did not really see that moment where he got up. He I guess he just put it there and it was not on its back. It was not on its like front. It was just like still as it is. Oh my god. Just when the message like popped, we saw how like you know. Oh. So, I was Okay, I was over analyzing. Let me stop with that. But oh my god, I’m trying to to really analyze and really like take in everything that’s happening. So I’m sorry guys. Let me stop. She looks like the brown hair. But so so the the kids in school, they are not in the same village as Hikaru and Yoshki because he said he was the only kid my age. Is Hikaru like somewhere here? I’m I’m scared. She’s understanding. But should I really really really really trust her? No, don’t cry. That’s so sad. I feel so sad for Yoshki. That cuz he act Oh [Music] interesting. So, so you I’m sorry. I was just reading what she said. I’m like, wait, you must be close. I assume this was girl like if you mixed uh Oh my god, that whole thing with the hand that moment the the marinated raw chicken moment. Wait, both of us. So, she lost someone and she cannot accept that. But who she loves? How did they get mixed up mixed in with like another entity like different than what what uh like the nunis sama that K’s body is like possessed by. That was interesting. And yeah, he obviously Yoshki seemed like a smart guy. He obviously picks on the both of us. That’s interesting. But him crying because she was understanding is freaking ah so sad. But ah my heart, my heart. Interesting though. M I’m scared now that he hopefully she’s not going to say anything. What if this lady parts of that company somehow? But they would not don’t show this. Oh my god. Oh my god. They would not have called like Tanaka was his name. That’s like Oh my god. Oh. Oh, this was like kind of protecting. I don’t know, man. Well, you should honestly both of you daughter. Oh, that band like the ring. Yeah. Is it her husband or son? Okay. I wonder if the daughter is anchan that’s why she felt things. She can sense things too. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. What? Oh my god. I love this perspective. So cool. So her husband her husband came back as in like possessed like so her husband is like dead. She said like because you two Oh my god, that looks so delicious. Delicious. I’m scared of what Hadu could do because he read the text. But it seems like he did not follow him, but he knew he he was like he was meeting someone. Guys, this is As much as I’m scared, I’m loving the vibe so much. They give me the same vibe, these two. For some reason, interesting. He’s He’s starting to avoid him. I’m scared for you. Hopefully, you’re not alone in school. This is something else I have been thinking about. Well, obviously he could. Oh my god. I love his eyes though. But oh my god. Oh my god. I’m scared. He’s making those goofy faces. Just don’t don’t explode. I’m scared of the outcome of this. Oh my god. These clothes of their moms is scaring me. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I think I missed that. What did he What did he say? You say like it was you? Oh my god. I’m scared, man. You’re sure you want to say this? I’m start to get really, really, really scared. Oh my god, the visuals is crazy. The line was cut. Oh my god. Oh my god. That red. Oh, his eyes. I I’m loving the animation. But this is this is Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. No. No. No. My first what? [Music] Oh my god. I don’t know which. Oh my god. Oh my god. Things are just getting out of control. Is you’re my first. Like I don’t know which feelings are mine or yours. Um I’m minor but I’m cannot speak. What going on? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Oh, is that a head? What the Oh, do you see the mark? Do you see the mark on his freaking hand when he was like holding him? Oh my god, those eyes are too beautiful. But oh my god, he said it’s coming inside of me. Well, it was. No, I don’t know if that’s possible after what you did, but like the moment he was just like, “This feels nasty to this feels good.” His eyes like is the mark is still there. I don’t know. Uh, but it’s true though. Oh. Oh my god, that was an intense moments right there. I I’m sorry. I was just like I I I cannot fully process it. It’s like I cannot help but like myself from liking you or something, right? Like we’re talking about the entity talking where to meet that lady again or to Oh, you’re going to hit me with the ending. Oh, is that Oh, no. Don’t end, please. He’s He’s going to him, right? Oh my god. Oh my god. This has been just intense. Intense. Oh, he’s apologizing. I’m happy you’re apologizing. I’m happy. [Music] You are. You are. That’s interesting. He’s like, “Oh, that’s what you mean then? That’s not really what I was like interested why I’m like why I flinched.” I guess he was not even bothered by it from what he was saying. He was like, “Oh, that that’s not really why why I flinched. Why I was like why I’m I’m scared.” That’s interesting. No, stop the a this this and you are I guess you are. Stop. lonely. [Music] I got to teach him a few things in regard of why. Oh, the flower welton at the end. It already did in the middle of the episode, but oh my god, man. Give me next episode already. Why are you doing this to me? This is too good. Ah, this was absolutely amazing. Why next episode is not here yet? Why? I’m sorry, guys. I’m just so disappointed. So guys, that was the summer cut died episode 3 denial. Oh, we saw some denial denial and we saw some crazy moments. That moment again those type of moments are so intense, so intimate. It’s literally kind of kind of showing us them. It’s like I cannot believe I’m saying this, but it feels like they are doing it. You know what I mean? But obviously they are not. But the the feeling the emotions are there and even Hikaru was like well the entity nonukisama was like you are you are my first something and I’m assuming he’s talking about his first someone like touched him like put his hand like inside of him and he he said it last episode and everything. I’m happy he apologized. the map he said he he he is not going to do it again but that’s the thing Yoshki did not even seem bothered by that like he was not even thinking of the fact that happened and he was feeling good he was even saying it that he was like this feels good what is this like and then at the end oh my god I got to touch him few teach him few things excuse me sir what are we talking about what are you going to teach him but I guess like things that are like I guess I don’t know like what are you going to teach him for Oh, that’s so interesting. So, he did not follow him, but he obviously saw the text. So, it kind of like felt like a little bit jealousy. He literally just came out and said, you know, I cannot help myself loving like not loving but at least liking you. And he said like he he doesn’t even know like which is his feelings which is his like the original like Hikaru feeling like Hikaru’s feelings like he doesn’t know but like as far as it’s concerned like he cannot help but but liking him that’s just too interesting. That’s so interesting man. And what was that when that was happening? What was it that that it was shown? Like it felt like from a different era or year. Like that person looked like Hikaru. But but Yoski was like, “Oh, that’s not Hikaru.” And his head had like a head. Was that a woman’s head? It’s had a freaking whole head. Not a human. Just a head. What was that? Is that like a memory of the entity of Unukis Sama? Because they Ninuki or Nuki or Unuki they do they have a connection because we know that they have connection with the Indo family. So it’s like kind of like that. Oh my god. This is just like this is this is this is just this is too good. This anime is too good. And I’m so mad episode 4 is not out yet. Man, I need to wait until Saturday. This has been amazing. I’m not going to lie. But yeah, I truly hope you guys enjoyed this as much as I did.

  1. YES THIS WAS ONE OF THE EPISODES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE!! I love love reactions and I enjoy how your questions get answered later in the episode as you watch. I'm so sorry and you are being so brave LOL

    "Hikaru" struggling with telling what he's inherited from the original vs what he's developed on his own + struggling with what he DOES know is the monster, like the instinctual PANIC -> DEVOUR instinct, is super interesting to me… I like "Hikaru" as a character a LOT. I'm sure other commenters will say it, but he really was instinctually trying to kill him there bc he got overwhelmed, and then was overwhelmed by "I DONT WANT TO HURT YOSHIKI. NOT HIM".

    The conversation with Kurebayashi as the stressor for Yoshiki having his quiet classroom freakout as everything bubbles to the surface – Yoshiki's also struggling with "Hikaru"'s struggle too, in a way… he also struggles to process the monster (which he cant help but see as human) and his grief (which he cant help but see as monstrous) at the same time. Kurebayashi puts it like this – How much of this is just what you want to see? in the past she overlooked the "monster" for wanting to see the "human" and people got hurt. Don't get mixed in with that… and yet it's not that simple. Look at "Hikaru" , look at his internal monologue, look at who he is and what hes trying to do. Look at him not being able to tell what parts are the monster or the human, or even if it matters if theres a distinction anymore. Its so complex. yum

  2. 22:42 There are a lot of interpretations of this scene! But yes,'Hikaru' did get overwhelmed with emotions and almost killed Yoshiki before stopping himself. Now, Yoshiki feeling good despite it being wrong is obviously a metaphor for internalized homophobia..clap if you're surprised 😭😭 but! He's also been really depressed lately and him going with the whole situation even tho this is dangerous does make him reckless. Before you die your body does release something to make you feel good,so your interpretation was also pretty much on point. I suppose it could also be seen as metaphor for an indirect kiss or an actual kiss and again, Yoshiki liking it despite the fact he "shouldn't"

  3. 22:40 overtone- he was about to off yoshiki
    Undertone/subtext(idk what its called,) – some people say it means first kiss (dubcon)
    Some say its sexual assault.
    And ofcourse there is internalized homophobia metaphor too. He slightly accepts that its not nasty & finally accepting his own feelings to some degree

    I feel like its the second one atleast for yoshiki. Hikaru is actually like a child with no understanding of how human system works
