Everything's ramping up and it's clear that A LOT was implemented here in order to explain everything. Unfortunately it's so short that it feels somewhat rushed for the climax and there was a lot to take in considering the story and purpose becomes much clearer.

As seen, Saya can no longer contact BGS or the Otherworld anymore since Strength saved/locked her within that domain. Unlike Saya's attempt, Yuu (Strength) was able to awaken Mato once she passed out but still trapped within IBRS' conscious, however she's partially able to prevent IBRS from harming Strength. BRS' creation was due to Mato's self-conflict and the need to rid of possible, future troubles and worries of hating others and being hated by erasing other peoples negativity through BRS (as explained by her mother and Yuu, she's caught "in-between" and has a lack of rather gloomy emotions and feelings).

Mato despairs and comes to realization that BRS isn't her and shares sympathy with the Little Bird becoming muddied with colours. Sure enough, it seems she finally knows that she's been trying to hide from her fear but Strength loses it and starts blaming Yuu that it's all her fault from not protecting her and starts going on a rampage to fight IBRS while seemingly enjoying the pain.

Based on Strengths' defeat by BRS and gaining emotions through Yuu, the real Yuu switched places with Strength in order to avoid the outside world where she was tormented. The Yuu that Mato has been friends with the entire time was Strength herself (in Yuu's body) while the real Yuu was actually staying hidden from reality (real Yuu during the battle: "You have a duty to protect me! Isn't that right, Strength").

The insane cannon lance surfing was quite the spectacle and a thrill to watch all the action sequences, particularly Strengths' dual guns. It was nonsensical and gave me a chuckle though when Strength started whacking IBRS across the platform like a rag doll and drained some of the serious tone out of the situation. Yomi remembers of Mato now rather than just another student in her class and something hurting inside her (Dead Masters' return with that eye twitch).

Gunsword surfing through a sea of fire is definitely one of the coolest things in anime ever. :D

I dont understand this show, LOL.

Why suddenly Yuu/Strength becomes the main of this show? I thought she was side character.

3.4/5

I feel bad for BRS. She's fighting for Mato but Mato herself is fighting BRS. BRS is definitely my favourite character in this series. Especially because of the last episode. Its the one episode in this series I vividly remember from all those years ago.
Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!!

Well we knew after last episode Yu and Strength switched places, so yeah we got it spelled out this time. Also Dead master's coming back next episode it seems, unsurprisingly.
