That was a good show! Part 1 was pretty good, but wasn't something that interesting.

Part 2 on the other hand was very exciting and interesting. I liked watching the stories of different people, and in the end they all meet in a final climax.

To me, this is one of the best anime episodes I've ever seen, if not the best. This anime in itself is in my opinion not that amazing apart from episodes 33-39, but episode 39 is so incredibly good it makes everything before it worthwhile. It's tough to recommend this anime to people because they tend to get turned off during the first few episodes, but on the other hand, there's some serious merit in how they manage to accomplish such fulfilling character development.

I honestly think that this should be where the anime ended, incomplete or not.

Really nice speech Youko. ;P

Completely enjoyed how the characters were written.

Modern movie writers should take a page of this book on how to write female characters properly.

What a great episode!
I am glad Youko was able to change a bit of Kei, her 1st law was a great way to change how people treats each other. I got so happy when she called the girls to work with her.

Asano died alone without Youko or Sugimoto. He got stuck in a world where he didn't know the language, had a mental breakdown, shot a child, and died. Ultimately the way he died helped Youko come up with her first proclamation so his death did serve some purpose. Miserable life, though.

Youko has grown so much since the beginning of this story; some of the best character development I have seen between her, Shoukei, and Suzu. Excellent ending to this arc.

I'm guessing the Kirin in Japan will be brought back into the story somehow in the last few episodes.

Was Asano's grave a Gungrave reference? xD Welp, sad that he had to die like this.

But wow, the overall pay-off this episode was so gratifying that it made more than up for it. Youko has come so far that it felt like the finale. Awesome stuff. I'm still looking forward to the next "arc", even tho I'm sure that this won't be topped.

Incredible episode. So epic and satisfying. I was waiting since the very begining of the series for Yoko to be the generous and confident queen she has become now.

What a lovely and strong person she grew to be. So much difference with this episode compared to the past her in the first episode.

I wish more peolple would know about this anime. It has such a great story and with great character development, especially in Youko's part

What a powerful episode that was, I could watch hundreds of episodes of this anime, a damn shame it's unfinished. The development is incredible to watch.

I never thought one of the worst arcs would slowly turn out to be one of the best. An incredible episode and an amazing speech. Asano's death did help with Youko's first proclamation so he did serve a purpose. Overall a great ending I'd say.

Still the issue remained, this arc was too slow and lengthy. They could have sped up the 1st part or removed some parts here and there, mainly of the 3 girls being Edgy (although Youko's bit was understandable). It really picked up after the plans for the rebellion began. Just wished it would have happened sooner.

Maybe I'm not the only one who noticed but that part in the op (which is also this ep's ed) reminds of me of that iconic Pirates of the Caribbean OST, and this came before that so idk.

I liked how this finale tied up the loose ends to stuff that I had forgotten about. When they revealed that Enho used to be named Otsu, I fucking gasped! It ties it back to the Shisui rebels who use that name as their greeting.
