there is no way in fucking hell Koyomi Mizuhara is a real character in this beloved series
i refuse to believe it.
her entire existence feels like it's spun out of those shitty reddit fake mandela effect posts like Graggle. "does anyone remember what happened to Koyomi, Tomo's best friend who always dressed like Peter Griffin? she used to be my FAVORITE character!!!" no. i refuse to have this. this motherfucker is not real.
she has the least amount of lines of any character. i think even fucking kimura has more lines than her. this motherfucker did not exist and was added post production as a troll from the creators. the whole "Tomo Visits Koyomi" bit inside her house feels like an entirely different animation style, story and humor. it doesn't feel official. it feels like a fanmade bit made to give a character more screentime.
and FUCK. OFF. with those "ohh but i can say funny things like 'Tomo made this post, haha!!!' ohh, they've got a silly little yuri interaction!" no. that is not a role. being introduced as "tomo's best friend" and then dissapearing forever only to occassionally punish Tomo is not a fucking role. Kagura could fill that role better. Osaka could fill that role better good fucking GOD knows she's constantly tortured by Tomo's actions.
this is not a character. Koyomi Mizuhara, Yomi, whatever the fuck you are. you are not a living character. you are not a being. you are a collective hallucination by some drugged up animators that was added in last minute. you never were supposed to exist. when i get mandelad into a universe where you no longer exist i will laugh until i cry, the second i see some guy spouting on about your existence and watch nobody believe him because your premise is INSANE. your existence is INSANE.
you are not real, Yomi.
