2. Recap of Takopi’s Original Sin Episode 5
The latest episode of Takopi’s Original Sin started with Shizuka and Takopi visiting Tokyo, where she found out that her father had another family. She told her father that she had come to see Chappy, but found out that there was another dog living there. She left crestfallen and thought maybe the children had eaten Chappy, so she contemplated cutting their bellies open to find Chappy.
At this point, Takopi really started freaking out, because he couldn’t reason with Shizuka. Shizuka, too, realised that Takopi wasn’t going to be useful anymore, so she grabbed a rock and raised it to strike Takopi. Takopi suddenly started to remember things he had apparently forgotten, and it revealed an unbelievable truth.
According to Takopi’s memories, Takopi had gone to earth from Happy planet to spread happiness, and had a chance encounter with Marina, the same way he had with Shizuka. This Marina was in middle school, and things were quite different, because she wasn’t dead, her father had left their family, and her mother started developing a mental disorder. Regardless, Takopi latched on to her, and Marina gave him a name related to garbage.
Takopi was just as clueless as he was in this timeline, too. Marina was really traumatized by her mother, who became really abusive at some point and scarred her with a broken piece of glass. However, at some point, she met Azuma, and the two hit it off and started dating. Marina’s mother was really happy about this and was really excited to meet Azuma. However, the day Azuma was supposed to meet Marina’s mother, Shizuka transferred into their school.
When Azuma saw Shizuka, his old feelings were rekindled. He broke up with Marina and told her that Shizuka had no one but him, and he wanted to be with her. When Marina told her mother that Azuma had broken up with her, she lost her cool once again and attacked Marina, and this ended horribly, because Marina killed her mother and cursed her own life. She regretted not killing Shizuka when they were in middle school, and Takopi heard this and promised Marina that he’d turn time back and kill Shizuka before she could ruin Marina’s life.
3. Speculation of Episode 6 of Takopi’s Original Sin
Things are really messed up right now. Takopi had turned time back to kill Shizuka, but ended up befriending her and killing Marina. Turns out, regardless of the timeline, Marina was destined to be killed. Now that Takopi has regained his memories, he’s going to feel incredibly guilty and conflicted, because he couldn’t help a single person, and has only caused harm.
The previous episode showed Shizuka trying to kill Takopi right after he got his memories back, so in the upcoming episode, we will likely see how this plays out. The next episode is the final episode, which will conclude the series, and judging by how the story has progressed so far, the ending will likely be dark, and it may end with Takopi’s death.
