We learned a lot in ep 9, so here's another speculative time line :D
Eight years ago, March 31st, 2002:
- Misaki, Honma, and Kamiyama are friends and seniors in High School
- Kamiyama plans a graduation trip. It's a bus tour of Shinai Lake, he's doing this for Misaki's birthday that's on the 1st of April.
- They go on the trip. Set up camp at Shinai Lake
- Misaki and Kamiyama are having drinks by the riverbed, and met Andou
- Kamiyama and Misaki are fishing by the river side and run into Mika, who introduces herself
- Kamiyama goes off to collect firewood for the campfire and runs into a drunk Kenji Miyamoto
- Honma goes off to speak with Andou, as Misaki and Kamiyama sit by the fire they made. Noriko (Yuutenji Nokko) gives them a plate of food.
- Kamiyama and Misaki make curry for dinner and meet Katsuragi that give them curry sauce
- Kamiyama and Honma talk about Misaki - Kamiyama tells Honma he's going to confess his affections for her the next day. They make a bet.
The next day - The accident, April 1st 2002 (her birthday):
- Misaki and Kamiyama make breakfast
- Kamiyama calls Misaki to the bridge and askes her to go out with him, she rejects him saying she's in love with someone else
- Kamiyama goes back to the camp site rejected and gives Honma the coin, saying its his turn. Honma punches Kamiyama for what he said
- Kamiyama and Misaki decide to take an aerial tour of the island, Shibata is the pilot and its on the plane Egypt 20-3
- Kamiyama runs to call Honma to remind them of the trip. Honma tells them he decided that he didn't want to go.
- Misaki and Kamiyama ride instead, leaving Honma behind, and the plane crashes due to engine failure.
- The weather is bad and it starts to rain, Kamiyama swims to shore and finds Misaki's body
- Honma discovers the two.
- Saejima runs to them while filming letting them know emergency aid is on the way
- Kamiyama passes out, Honma cries over Misaki.
- They're taken to Shinai Lake hospital
Few days later, 2002:
- Doctor lets them know that Misaki will never wake up
- Honma removes Misaki's oxygen mask and leaves the coin in her hand
- Kamiyama finds Misaki and puts the mask back on and runs out in a hurry to find Honma
- Kamiyama finds Honma standing over the ledge of the hospital building
- The two scuffle, Kamiyama falls over by accident.
- Kamiyama is in a coma
- Saejima's report about the Shinai Lake Plane Crash is aired
Between 2003 - 2008:
- Saejima wins the grand prize award for her story
- Honma enters Galaxy TV
- The Quiz Show is in planning and is presented to the company president by Yamanobe Kengo
2008:
- The Quiz Show begins late night, not live.
- Tazaki is the host, Yamanobe is the MC, Honma serves as AD
- The Quiz Show suddenly is canceled due to the "Yamanobe Incident"
- Honma gets an idea for his revenge from the affair
- Yamanobe and Tazaki are fired from Galaxy TV.
- Kamiyama wakes up with severe amnesia
- Honma takes Kamiyama to the aslyum where Yamanobe once kept Tazaki.
- The Quiz Show Golden suddnely goes into pre-production planning
- Saejima transfers departments
- Saejima becomes a Producer, Honma is promoted to Director for the show
- Honma pitches to the higher ups to have Kamiyama as MC and its approved without question
2010:
- The Quiz Show Golden premieres, live, and the highest ratings in station history
- Andou Kousuke is arrested for murder
- Rumors on the internet start talking about the Yamanobe Incident, people start to suspect something of the same to happen again
- Mika debuts as a successful writer
- Neo Arkadia goes under
- Tomobe Koichirou loses his status
- Yamanobe returns
- Saejima is fired
- Shibata becomes a pilot again
- Saejima challenges the Quiz Show and gets her position back at Galaxy TV
- Nitobe Aviation goes under
- Honma pulls strings and takes control over the show, challeging Kamiyama
- Its revealed on live national tv that Kamiyama killed Misaki.
Back in episode 2, Honma tells Saejima that if it wasn't for her he'd never be at Galaxy TV. It makes me think that he was starting to plan his revenge well before the first Quiz Show. That he probably, intially, wanted to burn Saejima for destroying Misaki's image and that's why he entered Galaxy TV. But Yamanobe gave him the idea of bringing everyone down at once and using that as a catalyst to get Kamiyama to remember everything... and maybe Honma wanted to use Kamiyama to throw his own guilt on so he could escape his own demons. Much like Yamanobe.
Honma has a lot of riddles about him, and I think his character is more intriguing than Kamiyama for the simple fact -- You know nothng about this guy except the vendetta against the host and producer. I srsly can't wait for next week.
What do you guys think? Have your own speculative timeline of events? Also, for the 10 Commandments :)
Thou Shall Not Steal - Andou (He stole Joe's song, Love Horizon for his solo debut)
You Shall Not Make Yourself an Idol: Mika (She became an idol to young girls everywhere)
You Shall Not Covet Your Neighbor's Thingsl: Miyamoto (He prayed on the old, wanting what they had)
You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me: Yuutenji Nokko (She acted like a god, playing with people's lives)
You Shall Not Use God's Name in Vain: Tomobe (He ran around claiming he had the hands of God)
You Should Honor Your Parents: Katsuragi (He abused his mother)
You Shall Not Bear False Witness Against Your Neighbor: Shibata (He was falsely accused of causing an accident)
Remember the Sabbath: Saejima (She worked on her day off, the Sabbath is the day of rest and you should not work on that day)
Thou Shall Not Kill: Kamiyama (He killed Misaki - According to Honma)
Thou Shall Not Commit Adultry: Honma?
So we have Do not commit adultry and Thou shall not kill. This is all intersting, and I'm pretty much reaching for the last three....
It's all confusing.
