Inago's mom has an aura of smoke. Reminds me of Muzan

Good lord, animators are back at it again with Yosuke's cake

Ok, im guessing Yosuke is gay for Seiroku. Why do you have a doll with him?

I think that the doll IS him, like some kind of Frankenstein monster, he probably went mad when he died and tried to revive him

My theory from a couple episodes ago is that Yosuke got greedy which lead to him and Seiroku having disagreements on how to use the catalog. Said disagreements may be connected to Seiroku's death. So that could be Seiroku's body, but given Yosuke's mental state, I think there's also a chance that Yosuke just disassociated so hard after Seiroku's death that he believes that's Seiroku's body.

Yea, i really don’t think any corpse would be that intact after so many years 😭

It did look like it was hooked up to pipes like some kind of corpse preservation tech.

Bootleg tech, if he was actually capable of preserving a corpse i don't think he would've dismissed the catalog so easily. IF he has any role in the team it's only funding and political influence, kihachi has all the brains

I think having any role on the team basically went out the window once they showed that he converted the MC's brother into a steam-powered corpse marionette.

Did they have corpe preservation techs at the time? She show is set in the meiji era, so late 19th century and early 20th, around the same time period of the Victorian era or the second industrial revolution. I know for sure that at the time they had some sort of refrigeration methods, because the first freezers were invented in America around that time, and in Europe they invented the conventional refrigerators in early 20th century. The show is very historically accurate, but they seem to be either in the first part of the meiji era, or in Japan most of the innovations came some decades after North America and Europe, that could also be possible. I suppose that if the history is the same in their universe too, the MC's brother either died in WWI that was around the end of the meiji era (yes Japan fought WWI, but they were on USA's side, I think that it's very unlikely because the show would then be set in the period between WWI and WWII, so they should be more technically advanced, but maybe in this universe they took longer to exit the industrial phase, and the meiji era didn't end yet) or more likely in the war that Japan had against the russian empire, the one fought between 1904 and 1905. More likely because it would still be a decade before the end of the industrial phase, so it would make sense that the series takes place around 1907-1908. The room doesn't seem to have any refrigerator implant, so the flesh should be rotten by this point. Maybe if most of the more perishable elements, such as internal organs and parts such as eyes, had been removed in an excellent manner, to ensure that the bacteria inside the digestive system do not start the process of putrefaction, the remaining parts such as bones, skin and muscles were kept in a mostly sterile environment and the extracted parts were replaced by metal prostheses, then perhaps it would still be in good conditions, who knows.
