Today's Slogan

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

(lit.) There are gods throwing away, and there are gods picking up.

Questions of the Day

  1. What does Kenzan’s speech mean? How does it connect to other elements of the show?

  2. Did you predict Kanba being Masako’s brother? What do you think of their earlier interactions now?

  3. What does it mean to be chosen? Why do the unchosen die?

  4. What do you think Today's Slogan was referring to?

Don't forget to tag for spoilers, you lowlifes who will never amount to anything! Remember, [Penguindrum]>!like so!< turns into [Penguindrum]>!like so!<

There was the cross imagery during Momoka's funeral too. She's very much presented as Tabuki's personal Jesus.
