This made me so depressed seeing him not there when Itsuki showed up.

I WANT A HAPPY ENDING.


I won't probably get it though.

Damn. So he did die... I was wondering what that bag was in the previous episode... I didn't really expect this. =(

shit, i must have been asleep for the past episodes not to notice this. total shock

I can't belive oO
Have at least one death is one more positive point for this anime, but it's hard to understand why Mari has not done anything about it. Okay not want to hurt the feelings of Mirai, but I do not believe that Mari would be the "crazy". I was saddened by Yuuki ;/

While watching this episode, I thought Mirai would realize Yuuki's death at the school--specifically, when she found Yuuki in the classroom. I was expecting her to hug him but unable to touch his "soul" and immediately go into break-down mode. But I also like the way BONES did it by letting Yuuki state the fact of his death.

"Onee-chan, you know ... I'm dead ..."

That was really well done.

Now, I'm hoping the last episode won't disappoint. I fear Mirai's mom may die though, given that they closed up on her empty futon/necessities in the gym, she went back to the house by herself, and the possibility of another aftershock. But whatever the case, I foresee a hopeful message to be portrayed in the ending.

To be honest I was surprised.. Jesus, how did I miss all those signs.. probably did't wanna believe.. for some reason I'm shedding a tear everytime I watch this show so this episode was not an exception..

I was somewhat expecting this from the school part..

but its still sad to see Yuuki actually died a few episodes back.

Swine Flu killed Yuuki indeed.. wasn't Mirai's imagination.

Half the blame in which I wasn't able to cry were you fuckers trying to find out if Yuuki died, thanks. Other than that, I wasn't that surprised, just wonder how they will do the final episode.

i thought it was all mirai's bad dream. really didn't expect this to happen until i see the title after yuuki talked "anone"
arggggggghhhh... that really creeps me up... ;____;

I'm also wondering which of these two he was. I can't decide if it was Mirai's mind supplementing his personality onto a hallucination, or if he was an actual ghost and hence she really did see him and he was actually interacting with her.

Second episode that made me tear up.

Yuuki saying he's dead was very sad, although it was kind of obvious since episode 8.

I always viewed that as the proverbial Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads after it happened. A blow to the back of the head with a brief loss of consciousness, nausea...safe to say he had an intercranial hemmorhage or other more traumatic brain injury which eventually leads to death if untreated.

ETA: But the show really did need something like this. The way the two of them were constantly dodging life-threatening incidents was going to take away from any drama or poignancy if they ended up perfectly fine in the end.

That's essentially what it says on the death certificate: cranial hemorrhage due to external injuries; respiratory failure

I felt this way. And just by curiosity, using the International Classification of Diseases 10 (ICD), Mirai suffered of F23.8 (Other acute and transient psychotic disorders) and F43.1 (Acute stress reaction with Post-traumatic stress disorder)

Noooo....please don't tell me.....NOOOOO.......not this twist, please nonoononononononoononoooo.........

Yuuki was the only reason I watched this show. D;
How can I go on without him?

I actually cried a bit when I heard Yuuki really died. I really thought it was just a dream =P I wonder why Mari didn't try telling her...

I realized Yuuki's death back in ep 8 but at first I thought I was just looking too much into it, because I do have a tendency of over-analyzing things.

But after reading the forums, I guess it was a normal reaction to think he's actually dead (because everyone came to that conclusion), and either we're all correct or we're all over-analyzing it. I guess we were all correct, afterall.

Anyway, I think the whole show was about what would happen during a Magnitude 8.0 earthquake in Japan and I heard it was well-researched by the creators, maybe not only the physical damages, but psychological damages as well. Perhaps by showing Yuuki's death that way, they were trying to portray someone suffering from some kind of Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (?) when one loses a loved one. So maybe realistically, someone who's lost a loved one and who's subconsciously in denial couldn't have realized the loved one's death so soon (and that's why they made it span 3 episodes.. and probably why Mirai had to go through her brother's classroom and other stuff before she could finally accept that he was dead).

Also, I think that Yuuki is not a ghost but Mirai's hallucination because of her denial. Everything that Yuuki made her do (find Hina-chan, go after Itsuki to save him, etc.) was just her own thoughts and instincts which she projected onto her imagination of her brother because she wanted to believe that he was still alive.

Or maybe I'm just over-analyzing again. Anyway, this is a very good show. Can't wait to see how they'll end it :)

I think you'll survive one more episode


somebody can have PTSD (D= disorder) without having hallucinations, though flashbacks are common. The hallucination of Yuuki may be related, but would probably be classified as a Psychosis beyond the PTSD...

so I would say the diagnosis is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with positive psychotic symptoms (hallucinations).
