You would almost forget about the good action after such a powerful ending. Aah Aika, I love her :(

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Damn, I'm just speechless at the moment.

It's wicked that she could come up with such a plan but I'm looking forward to seeing how the final battle will go.

Next episode will be featuring her too, that's certainly a bonus! Some fantastic action scenes there too by the way. Aika is too bloody strong though, it must be said.

the fact that it was predictable aika was the mage and that she would subsequently kill herself is not necessarily a flaw.

just like any Shakespearean tragedy - in particular, romeo and juliet - the introduction tells you what will happen. but it is still effective anyway.

because that is tragedy: knowing something will occur but also knowing that you have no power to prevent it.

I can't say enough how much I love that punch by Aika.
When I watched this series for the 1st time up to this point, I still had my doubt whether Aika really care for Yoshino or just went along/ teasing him.
But after seeing her pissed of enough to just walked up and punched Hakase because she made her boyfriend cried, that doubt was completely gone. Very effective writing.

"AIKA, I'LL PREVENT YOUR DEATH EVEN IF I HAVE TO KILL YOU!"


Epic moment of this episode.


Now, HOW i could made it all better: "WHY THEY DIDN'T USE THAT DOLL FOR A DEEP FAREWELL?!"

It would solve everything. Hearing Aika explain herself would complete free the future Mahino and Yoshino of their ghosts. And as soon Aika comes back, they will know it all anyway. Makes no difference to hear it from Aika herself.

That damn escuse (by purpose) to disable the doll was the weak part of the plot


The last mistery of this anime: The paradox of the Bones.

I dont think she will move back to the future/present, otherwise she would need to go back to the island just to leave the bones there, and that bones would never be from her body. Paradox.

Never mind, she's not really the antagonist. It's those damn trees or whoever created them in the first place.

Aika should be saved. Civilization be damned! lol

I see, it's a causal loop. It was all pre-determined.

Aika was such a beauty during that catfight!

Aika has to be the most cool a person could be while talking about killing themselves xD

Jokes aside, this conclusion of Aika ultimately killing herself to "save" the rest seems to be the most working outcome, after coming this far. But then again, one could argue she wouldn't have killed herself if Hakaze didn't brief her about the future events by returning all the way to the past, though those are the simple repercussions of playing time travel into the plot, so...

Now if they should just explain Aika's origins or something along those lines, it'd be a big help.

As I hypothesised in the second episode's thread, Aika's death was a suicide case. People don't generally die in such a picturesque way if they were suddenly killed by someone else.

Despite Hakaze claiming she wouldn't bother preventing Aika's death in the past, she attempts to do so regardless, but is outmatched.

Loved the visuals in this episode, even if the laughably out of place Shakesphere quotes and pinballing motives weren't overly engaging. At least Aika herself was more cohesive in her goals.
