Utsuruo's change of heart and trying to actually stop Tokyo from being spilled by the black sphere is interesting to say the least.

I take it this more as her redemption arc, her personal journey to discover and reinvent herself after all the battles and history.

R.I.P big teddy bear.

Nice teamwork, everyone! I'm glad Mai didn't have to sacrifice herself, after all.

And Shy was the true hero of the day. That's my girl. :3

Playing the first OP during the climax is so unfair dude I started crying, pure goosebumps idc what anyone says Shy is PEAK SHONEN. Absolutely amazing end to this arc and the best episode of the series overall. This arc was as much about Shy becoming a true hero and coming into her own as it was about Ai and Mai. They handled both plot lines so well and I couldn’t be happier.

Mai trying to sacrifice herself was giving me so much anxiety like cmon silly haven’t you seen how much your friends and sister care about you? You don’t need to take on all the burden by yourself. “At least for my final moment let me be a good person” Mai, you’ve been a good person forever. A good person recognises when they’ve done bad things, feels bad about it and wants to change. No one is perfect!


Tokimaru and Shy refusing to let her go out like that and forming the moon circle was so cool. Yea it’s cliche and power of friendship-y but idc, it showed how much Tokimaru and Shy have grown and seeing Shy’s true power, her being the literal sun for people lost in fear and doubt was so beautiful. She was once that little girl who was saved by someone as brilliant as a star and now she’s doing it.

Love this episode so much, finale next week but please give us another season

whoops, i accidentally wrote this message on the last episode because i didn't realize i hadn't kept my progress counter up to date.

what i said there i meant to say here:

this is the cheesiest show i watch. just pure unadulterated reality escape. it really makes you wish such a simplistic approach would work in the real world. i love it.

Literally a together we are shy ahh ending.

Nah but fr while this was a little too happy of an ending for my tastes but I'm still happy with it. I love Mai a lot a little more than Teru at this point so I'm happy she never died. Also it was cool to see a glimpse into Teru's real potential as a hero literally had Unilord shaking from up in space.

Got a glimpse into Teru as a child looking up to a hero. I mean if I remember correctly Teru had a acrylic stand of a hero we have never seen. So id assume they're dead. Who knows maybe its Unilord. But that glimpse we got looked like a dude from behind with blonde hair. Be funny if it was Stigma

I'm telling you Kufufu needs Pesha to adopt her, they'd be a great family. I'm assuming the last episode will just wrap stuff up and set up for the next arc which I seriously doubt will be animated. But I'm like 90% sure that there enough material for a season three. So onto buying the manga when the season ends


My only real dislike with how this ended is Stigma literally showed up and just de-spawned like a mob in minecraft. I hope we get some clarification on what he's doing now. Regardless this has been an amazing season

The Tennoji sisters vs. Amamaririku's big giant bear, with Mai reverting to the side of justice, Doki laments her change of heart. But if there's one person to actually truly face, it would be Kufufu who's gone to the point of no return to push the tragedy forward, prompting the heroes outside the black orb to contain the damage further. Even though it was Mai's tragedy that resulted from all the fiasco in the first place, her deciding to finish what she started by absorbing all the evil energy, Purity calling out to Teru to pass the blade to Mai (and then not wanting to be part of it), she lets the ninjas take the spotlight instead.

The ninjas alongside Teru altogether, bringing the moon with the power of the sun, it's the last spurt for all 4 people to save which is lost and bring the entire fiasco to an end. Along with Season 1's OP (which was just the perfect song to resound the end), Teru has done the impossible to save Tokyo.

I have to say that with Teru's progress from start to finish, Season 2 has turned my expectations around, This could easily serve as the season finale and it would be great.

Shy came through again when it mattered most.
Hopepfully it will shut the people up who doubted her when it was broadcasted that she was leading the party inside.
Mai nearly turned back into Utsuro but thankfully Ai and Tokimaru were there for her.

I fucking knew it, Tokimaru was the bird Mai saved, I've been having this lingering feeling all this time and it was because of the scarf, plus it was weird how he just showed up in the village suddenly and have no family. Good birb.

Really loved Shy literally becoming the sun though, truly a Shiny Girl. Speaking of Shiny Girl, I was hoping for the OP to play and it did, it was the first OP too!

I'm glad Mai survived, she doesn't have to atone for her sins by dying, there are other ways. But there's still one episode, I hope this arc ends happily.

I liked the first season but this one has been painful to watch and not in a good, dramatic way. 11 episodes of pretty much all talking about boring platitudes. Easily the biggest drop off from a first season I've seen in a while. To be honest, the show as it is right now is unwatchable.

@Marinate1016 i have yet to check if what im saying is true , but the opening for season 1 playing in this episode seemed to be sung by a different artist than the original. It sounded not like mindaryn , noticeably when it came to “shiny girl” mindaryn says this more fluently and the pronunciation this time was very Japanese.

This episode was just... so... PEAK! Also OMG Shiny Girl for the epic climax hell yes! Why yes I love when the anime's OP comes in clutch giving the main protagonist super powers to win the day, how did you know? I'm gonna take a wild bet and say that it is Shy's VA Shino Shimoji who sung it, and goddamn I wanna be right so much because it's just so fitting for Shy and I love how her pure and heartfelt voice sounded in her singing! I'm gonna look up any official release and buy/stream it like crazy!

I didn't make the connection about Tokimaru until you pointed it out, nice catch, and it makes sense.

I also really enjoyed watching this episode and I liked how towards the end each of Stigma's followers squared up against each hero that has already has some rivalry especially between Kufufu and Spirit.

Century's blast to prevent the fear from leaking out of the barrier was pretty stunning. What a wholesome way to dispel that darkness thanks to our moon, sun, and bird!
