THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.

they're both shinigami, why wouldn't Meroko be able to transform Mitsuki just as easily as he used to be able to? making her cut her hair and give away her power just so that he can play hero is nonsense :/

I've been trying to decide between Takuto and Izumi for the longest time.

Screw that.

Meroko is my favorite character.

That's not it-shinigami have DIFFERENT powers.

Takuto's is to transform Mitsuki.

Meroko's is to transform into other people.

Izumi's is to create illusions.

Get it?

He didn't "MAKE" her do anything-she decided on her own to do it because she has matured and become generous as a character in the story.

Geeze.

I was talking about the writers forcing her, not any of the characters and I'm not sure I agree with your rationalization, but its been too long since I last re-watched the series to make a good argument against it.

Like I said, the writers and the author who originally created the shinigami gave them all different powers so it can't be helped. Otherwise I'm sure Meroko would have transformed Mitsuki again in episodes when Takuto couldn't. But Meroko can only change her OWN appearance.

Not that I liked her cutting her beautiful long hair though. THAT was awful. D: Haircuts just suck all around. One of my most hated cliches.

So touching. It is so sad that Meroko and Takuto had to come to this. All the while they were intending to see Mitsuki off the year she had left on her. It all started on a whim but after a year, both of them have sacrificed so much for Mitsuki. :'(

Every shinigami having their very own abilities has led to such a sad thing to happen. I really wondered why they had different abilities, but now I understand the cruel meaning of having different abilities. It's just too sad. The punishment of not living their life when the were still alive is too sad. :(

Seeing Takuto forget about everything just too sad. Meroko seeing the person she loved so much for so long forgetting everything is just too sad. T_T

Great episode yet again 5/5. Expecting great finale for a true masterpiece.

Awesome, we get to see all the side characters Mitsuki has met on her journey as Full Moon.

I really liked the heart-to-heart talk between Takuto and Izumi. I'm really shipping Izumi x Meroko hard now, even though I know it's not going to happen so fast ;_;

It was nice to hear Madoka's song again, really like her version of Eternal Snow, almost as much as Mitsuki's

And that cliff hanger ending, I hope everything is all sorted by the final episode!

Wow,the end was just too sad.

Meroko and Takuto really lost a lot in order to be there for Mitsuki.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

One would think that getting ready before a performance would be ideal, you know, like Mitsuki has been doing for most of her concerts; instead of waiting until the last minute.

Seeing Madoka sing was a bit refreshing.

Wow, the show really tricked me into thinking Takuto somehow got out of paying up the high price of that flower but boy did the memory wiped shook me up. Poor Meroko holding back the tears like a champ, her evolution from whiny third wheel to mature generous and strong woman has left me stunned...and very impressed.

And am I the only one who thinks she looks better with the short hair, anyway? Can't wait for the finale next and I wonder who the mystery person was watching Takuto and Mitsuki big moment? Could it be it Eichii-kun?

To clear up the confusion, Takuto is the only shigami that can transform Mitsuki because its his blood/ magic pill that directly allows the transformation to occur as Mitsuki essentially said, "Full Moon was a dream we both created". So, Full Moon is a creation that needs the approval of both of its creators and this the love shared by Mitsuki and Takuto alone.

Know its over a decade late, but I hope that clears up your confusion Jacobpaige.
