The man that was riding in the carriage shot Zwei. You hear the silencer gunshot as he drove by.

Moments later, Eren notices that he was shot.. she commits suicide.

I didnt like the ending either. It felt anticlimatic and i thought it was just unnecessary to kill them both off at the last minute..

The novel and true eren ending in the game literally ends the same way minus them both dying.

Cal's death was sort of dumb too but thats a whole other topic

Yeah. That's exactly what I was thinking.

Well it's called "Requiem for the Phantom." What did you expect?

I do agree though. I had the exact same reaction as you after I watched it.

I felt that cal was being an ignorant bitch and should've understood reiji's point of view and the whole problem would've been solved.

Its a Story about a assassins do you expect it to have a happy ending, Inferno would never stop hunting so that was fitting ending even though it was a bit confusing

Finally got to to finish this tonight and the ending ... i just dont know what to think of this anime anymore. I hate this whole "open to interpretation" shit. I was easily going to give this anime a 9 until that last bit in field as the cart passes by/credits. IMO, this is actually worse than an anime that leaves very obvious and open endings for additional seasons.

This series was freakin absolutely awesome until the very end. So i am going to forget how Cal died. Forget what happened to Reiji and forget the four petaled flower. Because WTF. Like for real. WTF. The last 2 episodes literally disappeared from my memory due to immense trauma.

I will do you justice. This is how it ended in my head (this is all my imagination and it is original, feel free to imagine the scenes that of how i imagined it to end):

Cal and Reiji duels. Reiji slowly walks towards Cal while the music is playing while Cal shouts to him "What are you doing?" Reiji then picks up the pace as the song is almost over and as Cal draws out her gun on the last note of the song, Reiji full body embraces her and holds her there while her hand is holding the gun up high. Tears streaming down Cal's face as Reiji hugs her tightly repeating "Sorry, I am so so sorry." He grits his teeth with tears streaming down his face, "If you have to, then please kill me. I deserve it. I really thought you were killed in the explosion. If I had known... I would have looked to the ends of the Earth. I'm the worst, because of me, you have killed and killed. I am truly sorry that I abandoned you. I'd never have left if I hadn't thought you were dead." Cal, still with tears streaming down her face buries her face into Reiji's shoulder as she says "I love you Reiji, I have always wanted to be with you and will be your partner, we promised remember? Please don't leave me again." Reiji with his eyes closed whispers to her "Never, I promise will I ever leave you again."

Suddenly Elen bursts through the church doors, "Hurry! Scythe Master is here with 6 of his new creations, new Phantoms, with no emotion and without a will of their own." Cal and Reiji each picks up a gun.

[Normal Route]
They kill off all the 6 Phantoms that Scythe Master brought with him ending with Elen and Reiji along with Cal shooting the Scythe Master multiple times as his last phantom puppet is shot down, "This can't be... my perfect creations can't lose to these emotional pieces of trash!!!" *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* Scythe Master falls back with 3 holes in his head while a feather slowly lands onto his palm. Elen and Reiji then start living together happily. Later scene reveals that Lizzie whom was thought to be killed by Cal actually survived that shot and she later forgives Cal when Cal breaks down in tears begging for her forgiveness. Then they live together happily reminding Cal of the good old days when she lived with Judy. =The End=

[Harem Route]
They kill off all the 6 Phantoms that Scythe Master brought with him ending with Elen and Reiji along with Cal shooting the Scythe Master multiple times as his last phantom puppet is shot down, "This can't be... my perfect creations can't lose to these emotional pieces of trash!!!" *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* Scythe Master falls back with 3 holes in his head while a feather slowly lands onto his palm. Elen and Reiji then start living together happily with Cal while Mio comes over everyday to hang out with Reiji. Cal makes up with Mio and they both fight everyday over who should cook for Reiji and who gets to feed him while Reiji sighs with Elen giggling watching those two both shoving their spoons into Reiji's mouth. The ending scene shows Reiji sleeping on his bed with Cal and Mio on either sides of him each getting an arm while Elen lies on top of him with her face resting on his chest, slowly fading out with all three of them smiling in their sleep. =The End=

[Yuri Route]
After defeating the 6 phantoms, Reiji is injured by several bullets, and Elen has a knife wound and Cal lies infront of the Scythe Master hands over a bullet wound to her shoulder. Scythe Master slowly pulls out two of his special pistols and points one at Cal while the other one aimed at Elen. Scythe Master throws back his head and laughs into the sky, "HAHAHAHAHA!!! You fools! You think you can win? You're nothing but my creations, my failed lab rats. DIE!!!" As the Scythe Master pulls the trigger for the pistol pointing at Cal first, Reiji musters all the strength that is left in his body and uses his own body to intercept the bullet that would've killed Cal then continues to also intecept the bullet fired from Scythe Master's 2nd gun that is directed at Elen. As Reiji's lifeless body thuds to the ground, both of the girls scream out his name, "REIJII!!!!" Their faces furious with tears, each grabbing the nearest pistol to them and both shooting the Scythe Master in the head at the same time. *BANG* *BANG* -- 3 Months Later -- Cal and Elen have started living together. They swore to always be with each other forever and will protect each other until their last breath. Cal cooks while Elen does the laundry. They both loved Reiji as well as the most precious things to him, and since they both are the most precious things to him, they love each other more than anything. It ends with Cal sleeping in the same bed as Elen in an tight embrace with chests pressed together, both smiling sweetly into their dreams. =The End=

Any of those 3 works for me and they all allow me to sleep in peace at night. Please feel free to use this as your personal ending if you want. Remember, everything is my own opinion so please do not detest me for my imagination.

I think the leader of Inferno had everything planned out from the start. I think at some point he got Scythe master to plant a dream or memory of the field and the sky into her mind upon which activated would trigger her to kill Reji. My reason for thinking this is because of what McGwire says in the last episode. He says "The young will destroy the old system erecting a new one in it's place." I think this means that the dream they planted in her mind is a fail safe to revert her back into the phantom that kills on command. Also I think the memory they gave Elen was a setup because McGwire also says "Even if the dream is fleeting. There are things we must do." As more evidence you can see purple flowers by his bathtub in the last episode. So when she remembered the sky she remembered her order to kill Reji. Deep down in her heart she didn't want to but she just couldn't break the conditioning that scythe master put her through. And the way she talks it seems as if it is premeditated and also that she is saying goodbye to Reji. Im not sure if she killed herself but because of what she says "I have the name you gave me and all the memories we had together. Thats all I need. Thats all I need to keep living." I think she was preparing herself to kill Reji. The smile of course was for Reji but seeing how deeply Elen cared for Reji it wouldn't suprise me if she killed herself. Another thing is that I think that all the people they met along their investigation into Elens past were working with Inferno to lead them to the field. One reason I don't think the cart driver shot Reji is because Reji was speaking as if he wanted to continue living and the only thing that would catch him off guard was a bullet from Elen. Reji would never harm Elen even if she was pointing a gun at him. Also it would have taken a pretty good shot to kill Reji. Somebody who was exceptionally skilled hence Elen. Elen also used a silencer so she wouldn't alert the cart driver. Well that is my take on what happened. I would love to hear opinions! This show got me so emotionally invested in the characters that I almost cried at the ending lol... Anyway Thanks!
