2 minutes and 32 seconds, my reaction to this episode immediately is “WHAT THE FUCK!?” we have barely gotten past the opening credits and Nine is turning himself into the police? WHAT THE HELL? I mean I get that this is going to explain itself but this is one hell of a confusing way to start an episode.
He makes the demand to hold a press conference that night at 8 and if they don’t, he has the trigger to the atomic bomb. They ignore his first demand to only speak to Shibazaki so they have to owe him something. Have I mentioned that I really hate the cops in this series? They piss me off so badly.
Twelve and Lisa are tooling around, in all honesty I think that Twelve is trying to forget what he’s done in betraying Nine. I kind of feel bad for him and I’m sure I would a lot more if Nine wasn’t my favorite character to begin with. Lisa talks to him a bit and she is so worried about Nine and so convinced that they have to be able to see him again that Twelve decides to go help Nine.
Shibazaki goes to talk to Mamiya at long last on behalf of the children and with his personal grudge, Hamura offers to go with him. Shibazaki sends him off to get a certain hard to find pack of cigarettes to keep him out of the way. Shibazaki is kind of an ass, but the kind of ass that protects the people around him.
He goes to confront Mamiya and goes to talk to him. I’m pretty sure that this is the moment he intended to die, he wanted to settle things with this guy even if it meant ending both of them. Luckly though, in the middle of their meeting the butler runs in and says that Sphinx had surrendered.
He wants to see the future that Sphinx is going to bring. So he leaves Mamiya behind and goes to see if he can get his way into the press conference. His boss, slides a paper over to him with the location of the conference.
Five is in the hospital and she hears that Nine has turned himself in, she insist that nobody is going to have Nine but her. ‘I called it’ So while they are transporting Nine to the conference place, Five attacks the fucking transport car. I’m pretty sure she would of killed every cop in it and Nine if it wasn’t for Twelves interference. Knocking her onto a different part of the highway then him. Nine is massively lucky, because I’m pretty sure every cop in that car died, guess that’s the benefit of being the main character rather than being some unnamed cop.
‘still called it’
Nine and Five face each other on the highway, her car leaking gas all over the place. Did I mention she shoots her partner? Yeah, she’s fucking insane. I get it, you’re dying you dumb fucking bitch. It doesn’t give you the right to be a fucking psychopath.
‘CALLED IT’
As she approaches him, she’s talking about how she always wanted to beat him. She could never beat him in anything, that was her only reason for living all this time. She approaches him and kisses him and CALLED IT, ALL THIS TIME I’VE SAID SHE LOVES HIM IN HER OWN FUCKED UP WAY. WHO KNEW THAT? I KNEW THAT. IT DOESN’T CHANGE THE FACT THAT SHE’S A DUMB FUCKING PSYCHOTIC BITCH WHO ALMOST KILLED A WHOLE AIRPORT OF PEOPLE FOR HER PETTY FUCKING GAME. So yeah, she backs up from him telling him to live for her and shoots the ground and sets the gas from her car on fire and blows herself up.
–Immense cheering ensues- Ding dong the witch is dead, wick o witch, the wicked witch, ding dong the wicked witch is dead. I might be a little too excited but you know what, she was kind of a bitch so uh, yeah. Glad to see her dead.
So, at 8 since the press conference didn’t get to go off because Five is a fucking psycho-bitch. All of Japan is doomed, the atomic bomb is going to go off in two hours.
Wait, is that the end of the episode…IS THAT THE END OF THE EPISODE? YOU CAN’T END AN EPISODE THERE, YOU CAN’T END THE EPISODE LIKE THAT. I MEAN I KNOW YOU NEEDED A GOOD SET UP FOR THE LAST EPISODE BUT THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH.
overall: This episode is fantastic, absolutely fantastic. It’s so tense, and I flipped about almost everything. Twelves emotions are so very real, and Five…oh well uh, yeah….nobody cares and by that I mean…DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD…still, yeah this was fantastic and the last episode is certainty going to be something to behold. I can’t wait…-bounces-

Geez I was actually cheering when Five died, I don’t even remember the last time I reacted that way towards the death of a character I hated, but Five is so horrible that I was so glad to see her go.

I dont want my Twelsa ship to die ;^;
On a positive note, the witch is dead wooo-!
This episode was SPECTACULAR. There are no words. It was just…amazing. Personally I did not AT ALL see that kiss coming, so major props to you! I literally just thought she wanted revenge for something. I guess I’m simple minded xD
I also can’t believe she shot her partner. I was so excited when he pulled the gun on her, but…. RIP. T_T But I still cheered when she died. (It would’ve been nice if someone else had shot her though. I was expecting Twelve to come out of nowhere and shoot her!)
I don’t even know how to speculate about next week’s finale. There is an atomic bomb floating in the sky. It will destroy Japan and send us all back to the Han Era. Maybe it will bring back the dinosaurs too. /sarcasm
omg! i loved this episode!! I still couldn’t believe Nine turned himself to the police. Not sure of the ending of this anime…. probably not the happiest..
