Hmm, that mysterious lil girl again. Are we going to dwell more on the supernatural? I thought reincarnation would never be addressed in this anime anymore, but the supernatural/crow led Ruby to the remains of the doctor. That's huge IMO. What's her goal though, I wonder.

@TheSuperWarrior by that logic he would be 30 years older than her, not 46. But if you’re taking Aqua’s previous age into account, you can’t just pretend Ruby was 0 when she was born lmao. Sarina died like a year or something before being reborn, and she was 12 when she died, so he’s ~17 years older than her, give or take. Take their accumulated ages into account, that’s 28 and 46.

Absolutely loved them going back to their old town. Visiting the hospital, his house and was not expecting Ruby to actually find his corpse. Really great moment but man is it sad that she found him with the keychain still intact. Really depressing stuff. I loved the other cute moments tho like Ruby meeting Akane, Kana with her idol outfit, filming the idol sequence and so on. Loved seeing more of what it was like in the hospital before they died as well, really good and sad stuff. Especially sad that Ruby always thought that Gorou would meet her again :(. Also really sad stuff that next week is the final episode. Really excited for the episode, not excited for it to be over again.

oh yeah! it never occurred to me that Ruby might want to seek revenge for this, although her doctor "lived on". maybe the twins will team up to solve the mystery

Damn, visiting the place of their death and birth is truly bittersweet...

I'm gonna make a wild guess and say the next episode's title "Reunion" is indicating Ruby and Aqua get to know each other's identity in their previous lives! I don't want to see Ruby heartbroken.

@Herman97 ok I admit ur right but thats still not off by 30 years and that kind of age gap would still be weird

Aqua and Ruby finally return to their hometown. Quite surprise Aqua doesn't mind telling Akane about Goro life.
Can't believe Aqua past life is actually sad too. He look like a happy doctor before..

Then Akane with Ruby following the crow stealing the key. It's sad to see Ruby dream to meet Goro again. She is so happy until........
Her expression really tells how shock she is...
Akane knew Goro name from Aqua, wonder if she find out something...

hen we see the crow girl comment on how the two of them without moms are given a mom in the guise of ai who gave birth to soulless children? i didnt get the context about the soulless there tbh.

The Crow girl confirms that Ai would have stillbirth if Sarina and Gorou werent placed inside the twins.

I am kinda sad that not many people didnt focus on this. Imagine Ai, who was starved for love and basically placed her last hopes for it on her kids ,having a stillbirth during labour(we know that they were alive previously due to the examinations).

The only scenario worse than this is a reverse of ep1 where Ai survives but the twins are murdered.
@ssjokg Ahh makes more sense now. Thank you for the info and yea its sad scenario for ai if goro and sarina werent reborn.

That was such a stunning episode! Now both Ruby and Aqua have lost the stars in their eyes, which I think represents the motivation to chase after their dreams and ambitions. I can’t wait to see what they do with the finale. (10/10)

Ruby's hopes and dream came crashing down harder than the towers in 9/11
it's kinda scary that akane has all the clues already, and she will piece them together, I guess, not a manga reader
Being a fan is likeο»Ώ having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces

Naaah the mangaka was cold to do Ruby like that. Poor girl, just when she was expressing her feelings about him, for it to be shot down by finding his corpse on the mountain.

From the very beginning this episode had to cover what happened to Aqua´s old body. Surely the killer woudn´t leave it to rot for someone to find, but at the same time leaving it in the cave not the best move. If he had burried it somewhere even in a cementary under a fake name or something no one would have ever found it.
I knew Aqua or Ruby had to discover the doctor´s body one way or another, however to do it the way they did specially for Ruby since she had a crush on him, is just straight up evil.

Predictable cliffhanger for the episode, but I wonder what are they gonna do? I mean it´s obvious they have to report it, but if they report it and the police make public who found it, surely that would bring a whole lot of trouble for Ruby and Aqua. Hopefully Ruby and Akane tell Aqua and Miyako before anyone else.

I'm not sure that guy was the most calculating of killers if you recall lmao. He wasnt doing very well. Why would reporting the death bring trouble for Ruby and Aqua? While im sure there was some supernatural assistance in her being led to that spot, its a pretty solid alibi.

@Fweb

It´s clear the father is the mastermind that orchestrated the doctor and Ai to be killed. But we yet don´t have a reason why he did that or that I can remember at least. He must have had a reason for killing Ai´s doctor and that´s where the father might create trouble for both Aqua and Ruby, if he thinks they are after him.

As random as it is, who walks on a mountain at night then decide to look behind a small shrine to then find a rotten corpse?

One way or another all these events are connected, it´s obvious Ruby and Akane happened to find the body and clearly have an alibi, but to the dad, he it might look different.

Fantastic episode, we got carefree character interactions, some trips to memory lane, some plot revelations, all leading up to that strong finish.

The two biggest plot points I liked are kind of connected. So when they first reach their destination, they start discussing some japanese mythology. The first one mentioned was the goddess Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto, the goddess of entertainment. The second being Amaterasu, who was said to hide out in a cave only to be lured out by the entertainment or commotion outside.

So later on in the episode, toward the end of Aqua and Akane's little sightseeing tour (aka Aqua going down memory lane) they end up at his past life's house. And then some little girl in a tree mentions how nice it was how those three were brought together. Two beings who lived lives without their mothers coming into contact with a mother who gave birth to children without souls. So does this means Ai was originally supposed to have two still births? But through the two's connection or strong feelings for her allowed them to alter fate somehow? idk just my guess from it. I instantly thought that little girl was some kind of goddess but as I'm not familiar with mythology I wasn't too sure on who it could be.

At least not until the end, where that crow snatched her room keys (they like shiny objects). When she started chasing the crow, I already knew where this plot was heading to. It would take her straight to Gorou Amamiya's corpse, I liked that it was Ruby instead of Aqua who found it. It does better for plot. But the actual detail I like is how it was hidden in a cave. Was this Amaterasu's intervention? They made it point of bringing up that lore from earlier. And is amaterasu that same child in the tree from earlier on in the episode? Questions for thought

I wonder why she's so interested in these twins that she would go out of her way to interfere. Is this her first time meddling with them? And what is her goal? Are my initial questions regarding this.

Next episode is the final, this is setting up for a strong finish

I spent the first half of this episode tearing up at the sad but sweet moments, and also wishing and praying that Ruby finds out who Aqua is and we have an actual discussion addressing that.

The second half I spent tense off my ass as we got closer and closer to some of that being revealed. ("He went to the hospital looking to see someone" and moving right past it)
Then we get the ending and I'm almost tearing up out of getting so close but missing and her trauma.

Dear Lord, they better fucking have them hash things out next episode.

I don't remember if it's from the show or something someone posted on here that said that he is aware of who she is. If he sees her react like this to finding his body and doesn't address it I'll shit myself in rage.

Come on, why do we have to go through torture like this πŸ˜” And I was enjoying Ruby's & Akane's girl talk so much 😌

Also, Akane should have totally dragged Ruby to the inn, how safe must be Japan to think it's okay to get lost in a forest at a remote place? Same goes to Aqua btw, considering he got killed by a junkie in the same area how come he doesn't have the least bit of PTSD or at least feel a little bit cautious? Seriously, and this is coming from the two most mature people in this cast 😠

Shockingly dark episode. Was not expecting that Kana corpse shot, spooked me good. Also looks like some supernatural plot points are being introduced with the crows and the girl with the white hair. Tbh I took the whole reincarnation thing for granted and didn't even question it so it's good to be getting a proper explanation.

Its Kanover.
Now that we had Kana and Akane, maybe its time for some sibling love?

This was the first time I have seen anyone use E scooters in anime I think? Its so weird how "modern" this anime is. Most shows feel like they could show life from 10 years ago, or even 20, yet this one really feels like its up to date.

Are Aqua and Ruby really just 15? I thought they were a little older. All the work they do in the industry seems crazy now, I guess same goes for Akane and Kana. When I was that age... better not think about it.

With the way it was going before, I did not expect the reincarnation part of the story to matter at all anymore, glad to see I was wrong. I dont like it when stuff like this gets used cheaply for the starter setting and then never again. Same with time loops which dont matter.

Time for Ruby and Aqua to have a talk about life?
