After the fall, Akihito could not remember Asami at all and what he remembers at the moment - imposed by people who are his abductors. Look how he behaves with Asami, as if for the first time he sees an attractive man, and not a lover with whom for so long in a relationship and "Asami-san", usually the Japanese even spouses turn to each other, but Akihito might not remember the events of everyone and therefore turned with "san" as is customary in Japan to refer to everyone.
I have the same crazy theory !
As Sudou is a real psycho, he could have done plastic surgery just to put Asami in the big distress to be killed by the face of his beloved one. And that knife, it's the same kind of the one with wich he tried to kill Akihito in the docks. That's put my mind at ease becauseI can't imagine Akihito doing somethong like that. But I admit this theory doesn't answer all the questions like what Fei Long is doing ? And Mikhael, who is suposed to be in touch with Sakazaky ? Why Asami was taken by his family ? How Sudou could imitate Aki's voice? Where is Akihito ? Would he suddenly arrive like a knight in shining armor to save Asami ?
I have the exact same theory. I don't believe for a second that's Akihito. And Asami's brother is super fishy to me. He kept Asami in complete isolation, with no way of even contacting Kirishima. AND he says to Asami that their father wants him back (Asami) in the organization. WHAT ORGANIZATION??? I feel like papa Asami is right around the corner. God knows where Akihito could be.
Glad I'm not alone in my theories. So many questions to still have answered though. I really wanna know why Feilong, Kirishima or Suoh didn't have a guard at Aki's door. How did Asami's brother get him out of the hospital when he did have a guard. Are any of those who got shot actually dead, Yuri/Aaron?
LOL, that's yet another one of my theories. This is getting freaky, North. I read some Spanish translations of the scene with Asami and Alec (?) in the garden and Asami was saying how his father was a real piece of work. I really think Asami's father could be behind all this.
I don't know whether it's Akihito or not as I only saw the japanese scans translated in chinese (didn't do better XD) but I believe in this case that it would be more interesting to discover it's really Akihito and not Sudou in disguise.
As much as we know, Asami is quite silent about himself and the first time I remember when we had a bit of this thougths was when he was worried about Akhito taken by Feilong at Hong Kong (he wanted to take him back in his arms and get Feilong's dispute over with). I saw in the raws that we have finally more of his thinking and for me, we already know the questions that fill Akihito's mind, we already have his perspective and not Asami's.
If it was Sudou in disguise, Asami would turn back to his "beast mode" : angry, violent and desperate to find Akihito. But it was really Akihito brainwashed by Chernobog, Asami might have to be more careful and will have to avoid to harm his lover in this delicate situation. It would be like a good opportunity to discover more about his personality. Just my thoughts of the subject :)
As for me, like most of you, I will wait Yamane-sensei to continue (for me, she didn't and doesn't disappoint).
That thought also crossed my mind. His behaviour was more like Sudou but I think it’s just the the brainwashing because last we saw Sudou in the hospital bed he looked unconscious and he was seriously injured as well since he got shot and fell and we saw that Asami who similarly got shot and fell took 5 whole months just to get up walking and even then, still with a crutch. So, 5 months for Sudou to recover his health and undergo plastic surgery and recover perfectly is quite unbelievable. And on top of that his body was bigger than Akihito so all these signs point to not possible. However, this is a manga so it can happen against all odds. I personally hope not because that would be really super cliche and silly. If she wants to do that she should have done a longer time skip because all that in 5 months is just not believable.
I admit you're right but I won't totally close the door about the plastic surgery theory yet. In 5 months as Sudou was injured twice he could have become thinier.
But for the drama it could be interesting to have a brainwashed Akihito. I mean, Asami has just opened his heart to him just before their fall. Now he will have to deal with his beloved one who try to kill him and even if Asami manage to survive (I'm pretty sure of that), Akihito will despise him, telling him he is a enemy or (the worst) that Sudou is his savior. Asami will not be able to do like he usually does : he cannot use force or brutal sex to change Aki's mind. For the story, it could really become interesting because it will force Asami to tell Akihito's about his past, his family, how they meet each other (and beg for forgiveness about the rape at the beginning of the story), how their feelings start to change from lust to mutual love... And each time he will have to deal with an hateful Akihito who will deny all of it... till,at last, he regains his memories. Because we all know that sensei will never harm hard too much those two. I refuse to believe in that.
After seeing the raws and reading the spoilers I have a number of theories about what happened. Theory # 1. Based on the fact that Sakazaki got his hands on both Akihito and Sudou, and that 5 months have passed, I don't think that it's Akihitio that Asami found in Warsaw. What if Sudou had plastic surgery to appear as Aki? They have the same body type and similar facial features so not many changes would be needed so recovery time from surgery could happen in 5 months. This would explain the seemingly strange behaviour from Aki when he sees Asami again. That desperate back hug looked more like Sudou and would certainly account for the attack with a knife. Of all the possibilities this makes the most sense to me so far.
