>>76246645Have we ever determined what she's saying here? It sounds like she started off saying "Ninomae 'Detours' Ina'nis is my middle name", but then suddenly switched to "Detours is my Tuesdays" halfway through. Maybe she realized that saying "'Ninomae "Detours" Ina'nis' is my middle name" wouldn't make sense, because it would imply her entire her entire full name was also her middle name, which would be a logical paradox that would lead to infinite recursion. So she pivoted to saying "Ninomae 'Detours is my Tuesdays' In(a)", meaning that the entire phrase "Detours is my Tuesdays" is her middle name. But what could "Detours is my Tuesdays" possibly mean? Perhaps it's a reference to the line from the 1994 Street Fighter movie where M. Bison says "But for me, it was Tuesday", meaning that detours are a regular occurrence for her, like just another Tuesday. But then why did she suddenly change her mind to make a Street Fighter reference midway through her sentence? When you think about it, it's sort of like she took a detour in the middle of the sentence itself. Perhaps this was intentional, and what we thought was a mumbling dope getting momentarily tongue-tied, was actually a dandori master making a brilliant self-referential pun about detours while taking a metaphorical detour herself. A pun so subtle, yet so masterful, that it went completely unrecognized this whole time.
But actually, when you think about it even further, you realize that detour is just another word for tangent. To take a detour and to go off on a tangent are the same thing. But Ina isn't exactly known for her tangents. Who is? Kiara. Kiara is the queen of tangents. If it is indeed true that Ina was originally about to say "'Detours' is my middle name", perhaps she realized that this could be interpreted as proclaiming _herself_ to be the queen of tangents, which could be taken as a slight towards Kiara. Seeing this possible outcome, and not wanting to insult Kiara, she seamlessly pivoted to "Detours is my Tuesdays", leading to the pun described above. Such is the mind of a dandori master. But then why did she want to avoid such an admittedly minor slight towards Kiara? The only possible answer is that she harbors secret romantic feelings for Kiara, and she didn't want to take even the smallest chance of damaging their relationship. In a way, "Detours is my Tuesdays" is like a covert confession of her love for Kiara.
In conclusion, "Detours is my Doozdayz" is both an ingenious pun and undeniable PROOF that Takotori is endgame.
