THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This is probably a pointless question to ask since I doubt it'll be answered anytime soon, but I'll ask: Can someone explain what the hell went on with the 'love triangle' in this episode?

First, Jun is introduced as a new 'dragonchild master'. Then it's revealed she knows a boy in a coma and another girl. After that, it got really, REALLY confusing after Jun revealed she/he's actually Kyoji - the boy in a coma - and that the real Jun died two years ago. Seriously, what the fuck? How can Kyoji be in a coma if he transformed into an old female friend of his!? ARRRRGHHGHGHGGH!!!!

/headache

And as for the whole 'becoming one with my dragon/birth of a dragon' part at the end, God knows. I gave up long before Kyoji reappeared riding a dragon... :|

hmm, im not quite sure what happened either. But from my understanding:

Jun died 2 years ago. Kyoji didn't want Shouko to feel saddened by this so he made a copy of Jun who continued to respond to Shouko's letters. And now, Kyoji's real self has died (and therefore, his copies will also vanish/die). And now, once again, Kyoji (in Jun's body) doesn't want Shouko to find out about Jun's death so he sends that letter to the policeman who was bound to find out through investigating.

Not sure whats up with the rebirth as dragon part, guessing we'll figure out later.

This ep seems out of place with the whole love triangle and emo-ness.

This story was so totally unrelated to the show. But I just can't bring myself to be surprised. After all, it's a shit.

I didn't really understand what was going on in this episode, but the flying scene and the dragons were pretty cool.

What the heck was that? Like the rest of this show that seemed totally pointless. I'm close to the end so I'll keep watching but this is rather disappointing.

Pretty decent episode, I wonder what the last 3 episodes will offer us!

I don't understand what's going on and I really don't get what's the point of this. There are only 3 episodes left and I'm hoping this episodes was not just filler and has something to do with the actual story. I'm not sure if this show is actually bad because I'm so confused with all the stuff that's happening, I just don't know...

this episode felt so out of no where and was confusing as fuck. im honestly getting a lot of enjoyment out of this series despite the many MANY flaws it has because it feels like a breath of fresh air at the very least, but this episode was pretty bad. i think this show is a good example of shows that set out to do... SOMETHING original and unique, but don't execute it very well.

Okay, when I thought this anime was going bad they decide to add a filler. Feeling tempted to drop it. Terrible """""Suspense""""" anime.

I guess this is a try at explaining what the heck is the lady on the dragon, but it honestly left me with more questions, some of the scenes were good, but it probably won't matter much since it feels very disconnected.

Trying my best to make sense of everything. I feel bad for shouko honestly.

So are all dragons dead people?
