| This was a very important episode as it tells about Sumi's past and reason that she sealed away Miyo's gift. She's truly a kind person, just like Miyo. However, I also think this is an important episode to see the history of the Usuba and Saimori family. Truly though, she's gone through so much around the time when Miyo was born. A very intense and emotonal episode, not just for the past but the effects on the present. |
 |
| Holy shit lots of information about Sumi this episode. Last episode we were left with the question of, why did Sumi, marry into the Saimori family and seal away her beloved daughter's Dream-Sight? The story traces back to a few years before Miyo was born. The management of Tsuruki Trading, which supports the Usuba family, faced financial difficulties back then. Sensing the crisis endangering the Usuba family's survival, it was the Saimori family that proposed a marriage proposal with Sumi in exchange for a substantial amount of funds. Yoshirou, however, rejected and turned it down, but Sumi accepted it without him knowing which obviously lead to the birth of Miyo. The only reason she sealed off her powers was because she knew the moment someone would find out, the Usuba and Saimori family would try to get their hands on it no matter what. Meanwhile Kiyoka is unconscious in the battle field. Can we talk about how much of a bitch Miyo's dad is. The dude wasn't even there while Sumi was giving birth. Leaving the burden of child birth to Sumi like fuck you. As much as I hate Arata and Yoshirou at least they gave a good reason for doing this to Miyo. Yoshirou, to make sure the same thing that happened to his daughter wouldn't happen to her, and for Arata to follow the order given by his majesty. Though he's grown on me seeing as he disobeyed him in order to take Miyo to see Kiyoka. With one epiosde left, will Miyo be free from the Usuba family, will Dream-Sight work on Kiyoka? We'll have to wait and see. |

| Kind of goes without saying why Sumi put her family first and married into Saimori’s. But I’m also guessing she was fully aware of what those in the Saimori family wanted from this marriage. And yet she kept Miyo’s powers hidden and sealed them away, although the intentions might be rational, but it did nothing good to Miyo through all those years. Moreover, I’m not buying at all how overprotective-kun and Miyo’s grandfather aren’t even allowing Miyo to meet Kiyoka, giving “we the family and we the ones you should love” logic. If they were so loving, they should’ve come with this same aggressive manner even a bit ago lol. Apologies and “we always loved you” speeches won’t cut it for the negligence. Heck, even worse we always knew it was Arata who was involved with that foul lookin old man, though we can worry about that later as for now it's Kiyoka who's quite literally hanging between life and death, so of course they gonna ask Miyo to finally make use of her abilities, and bring him to life. |

| Looks like the Saimori's wanted to attain the famed Ursuba bloodline no matter the cost. Miyo's mom was nothing more than a vessel to them. Looking at it now her mom really saved Miyo from being relentlessly exploited by the Saimoris. Whats even more sad though is that even now Miyo's in another cage even if its one that aims to keep her safe. Miyo being able to see her mother one last time in that scene with the tree though really was heartwarming. The emperor being the ultimate puppetmaster was a nice reveal but this does set the stage for what should be an interesting finale. |

| “To start with, what is a family?” π’ Everyone in this series besides Miyo, Kiyoka and his sister are so ass-backwards it’s insane. The irony of Miyo grandfather talking about how Sumi was essentially forced to marry into the Saimori family and cut off contact with her family, only to essentially do the same thing to his own granddaughter π€¦π½βοΈ. Yea, I get that he’s not a completely evil person. He clearly cared about Sumi and I think he cares about Miyo a lot as well. But he’s not respecting her thoughts or feelings at all. Even though it was difficult and led to abuse, I think long-term Miyo’s mom did the right thing by sealing her abilities. Even with all the pain and heartbreak Miyo’s endured, it was because of her abilities being sealed that she was able to obtain happiness with Kiyoka. Had her abilities not been sealed she’d have been used as a weapon or tool. That scene of Sumi telling Miyo she loved her was everything π’ π’. I think she fully knew that one day Miyo would come to that tree and be able to see how she felt in that moment. She bet on her daughter’s future and that’s so beautiful. I hate that Miyo never got to really experience her mother’s love first hand. They really deserved to be happy together. At least at the end Arata and her grandfather came around to supporting her and helping her go see Kiyoka. They might not be so bad after all despite their flaws. Can’t wait to see Miyo save him using her ability next week. We really already knew, but now it’s officially confirmed that Mikado, the emperor, is the series’ big bad. Defying him is obviously not going to be easy. Even with one foot in the grave already he can make life very difficult for everyone. |

| When it starts with the op you know it's gonna get serious. It's the second time I see information being transferred through touch today lol. Does this appear often in anime? I'm starting to see AOT everywhere now that I'm finally watching it. 12:09 "We are permitted to marry only within our kin." Whaaaaaaaaaa Usubas actually seem kinda nice now. Let's gooo they let her see Kiyoka! Excited for the next (last) episode! |
 |
| The famed backstory of the Miyo's mother Sumi and why she sealed off her daughter's supernatural ability, it's a causal effect of many. From a failed business to a marriage proposal that would help save the business, that's what the frail mother got herself into for the Usuba family without consulting her father, and as a result, after marrying into the Saimori family, all ties were broken. The sakura tree that exemplifies Miyo of her Dream-Sight ability, one which even her mother does not have, she, together with Shinichi, bore Miyo together, only on the context of getting their family's supernatural abilities, on top of her being ill. And that's where the deicision was made to seal off her powers, right on the cherry blossom tree at the Saimori backyard. With the Grave gone and the Grotesqueries on the offense, Kiyoka and his army must attack in full force, as Miyo takes a recovery with Arata, though the Usubas were pretty much destined from the get-go with their curse. The Grotesqueries are proving hard to defeat, and Kiyoka gets himself injured in the process, though Miyo longs hard and wandering for him. To that effect, her biological grandfather both thanking and apologizing for giving her such a life, Miyo truly is one special child, and her seeking to claim her abilities out from the cherry blossom tree which was protected after so long, Miyo can finally put her abilities to good use, no matter how much Arata's deal with the Emperor will stop her in his tracks. The deal is just as important as how Miyo loves Kudo, and Arata offers his assistance to help her at all costs, which I thought was a nice gesture, all things considered. Miyo finally getting to see Kiyoka in his unconscious state, her Dream-Sight could put him out of his coma, and that's the sign of her affection. The finale couldn't come fast enough... |
 |
| I have a suspicion about the emperor in up to no good. |
     |
| As expected, I hate Arata. He wants to become Miyo's husband? Not even in his dreams. I hate what this Emperor has in mind. Compared to the Emperor, I think the prince is better. Finally, Miyo gets to see Kiyoka. Let's see how she uses her powers to wake him up. |
 |
| Kind of boring episode, really. Atleast we finally got to know about what happened back then. Kudou coincidentally got hit and is now unconscious right when Miyo's power fully awakened and is the only way to bring him back, I'm utterly amazed. Anyway just one more episode to go and this set up nicely for Miyo to save Kudou and their happy reunion. |

A role reversal, I already can feels western Xters shivering in undulant pretentiousness
| @Mainnus The only thing westers Xters (who the hell are you even talking about, lol) are shivering at is the pretentiousness of your comment. If you have nothing to say about the episode don't just come here to rile people up with your snobbishness. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
RealNath said: How did Miyo regain her Dream Sight back? I thought the cherry blossom tree which Sumi sealed her power in was the one in Saimori's home, and was chopped down. How did she retrieve it from Usuba's cherry blossom? Are they connected? I thought the same thing, seems kind of like a plot hole there |
| Okay, not all people in the Usuba family are that bad but I still don't like them. And I'm glad they let Miyo go to Kiyoka. Her supernatural ability can be used now to save him. |
 |
| Sumi madea tough choice in order for her loved one survive and now it's Miyp's turn to saved the person she held very dear |
| Ok, we are indeed gong towards the end. The info about the guy behind the curtain is also revealed. |
| Actually good episode. We get to see Miyo's story and she had her abilities sealed. I liked the vibes from that, it was emotional. And I guess her cousin wasnt a bad guy at the end? he gave off the most Johan Liebert vibes ever but he aint that bad. Next week is last episode unfortunately , I hope we at least get a good conclusive ending for this season |
| The backstory of Sumi was very much needed, which went to explain a good amount of things back were in need of answering. Due to the Usuba family's struggling business and finance woes, Sumi was married off to the Saimori family, which meant that contact with her was pretty much severed. However, Sumi's health got worse shortly after giving birth to Miyo and, upon realising that Miyo had the Dream-Sight ability, she sealed off her power with the pretty cherry blossom tree in the Saimori garden. I will say that this episode did convince me of her grandfather being a decent guy. He did fully express the choices that he made back then was something that he still regrets in the present day and his conversation with Miyo about what "Family" meant was pretty intriguing. Arata, as well, isn't as bad of a guy as I thought he was, although it doesn't help with how stubborn he was in denying Miyo's request to see Kiyoka over and over again. Mikado, the man that Arata has contact with, is pretty much the main antagonist of this story, although I don't see him being dealt with just yet. Speaking of which, Kiyoka's skill and abilities with how his team were dealing with the Grotequeries was impressive, but he sadly got hit by one after defending his fellow friend from harm and thus slipped into unconsciousness. Upon hearing this news, Arata finally agreed to let Miyo go see him, with the blessing from her Grandfather. Now that she can use her Dream-Sight ability decently enough, hopefully she can find a way to help Kiyoka recover and get a happy resolution for the final episode. =) |

How did she retrieve it from Usuba's cherry blossom? Are they connected? She started regaining it when she touched the burned tree in ep 7 and it turned to dust. Probably just needed time to fully regain it or it looked like she pulled the last remaining bit because the cherry blossom trees are connected |

| Not going to pretend I didn't have tears in my eyes when Miyo saw her mother again. |
| With one episode left we'll probably at least see Miyo waking up Kudo and possibly going back to him as well. The old man sitting behind some curtains will have to be dealt with in another season. Or maybe they can speed-run this sh*t and Kudo wakes up and goes to kill the old man and then they get married and have a happily ever after ending, who knows. |

| @MegamiRem My thoughts exactly XD on serious note, since the series is coming to a close. I don't think I'm going read the manga. It is fun watching the drama unload but its not interesting enough to read more. Maybe I'm just not into fantasy & supernatural as I was before when young. Or I think maybe its the many manga that has family ties with superpowers.. it seems so tired that you have to be part of a "great" family or clan to be powerful or whatever. Overused trope.. and adds nothing to it to make it special. |

| man this prick is out here tryna become miyo's spouse smh. still this was probably my favorite episode in the second half of this show so far; liked that we finally got to see more about miyo's mom and sealing off her abilities is a reasonable enough explantion. still kudou needs to wake up and knock that boy out. |
 |
| A few things don’t make sense, as it has been pointed out by many. If grandfather really regrets how he treated Sumi, why not protect Miyo way before they know about her ability???? Miyo didn’t know about them, but they knew about her. The cousin feels a little yandere, but I guess he has his own shit to deal with, he could go either way from here on. Didn’t they say it was best for her super special ability to remain a secret within the family? So why did he just blurt that out in front of a bunch of people????? Where is the happy marriage? Or even the marriage??? I wished Kudo had just married her when he had the chance so it would be way harder for the family to take her away. |
| Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon E11 mini Ribsview + Even more exposition of the family story, finally some insight for Miyo's past + Visuals as beautiful as ever I can't believe next one is the last episode. Can't wait! Score 10/10 |
