Satsuki is a borne leader .Good to see the light hasn't faded from her .I sympathise with the antagonist .The one who was kind to the poor girl was obliterated but good that Satsuki gave her a hand at the end

Read all comments from EP1 discussion thread to here, and I think the most of people treated Kill la Kill too harshly.

Even today, there are few animes that are this perfect in terms of characterization, plot, theme, and sense of humor.

Wow, I like, remember 5% of this even though not on my list.
I kind of had mixed feelings because Episode 24 ended so perfectly, but Episode 25 was good and was a coming of age or growing up kind of episode where leaving your school uniform in the past, never forgetting but moving forward. Senketsu lives on in her heart. Both the sisters put down their swords and gave Rei a purpose of non-violent unity rather than genocidal tyranny.

5/5, I loved this episode and will be rating it also 9/10 on MAL. This episode did NOT interfere with 24's ending and was similarly impactful to 人は人服は服だ！(People are People, Clothes are Clothes). Truly graduated from the abnormal insanity. Great and completely matching ceremony will everyone surpassed their passed selves. They grew up so well <3

I almost did too. What a great graduation ceremony and ending to the academy and Ragyo's following in it's entirety. No more swords and no more academy uniforms.

An after the end special where everyone has returned somehow to their daily lives, no more magic uniforms and that stuff or that's what everyone thought.

I like that the op features many outfits we saw in the last episodes.

The elite 4 had a battle against their past selves, a last trick but wasn't Ragyou this time but her assistant Honnoumaru or is Houmaru? I don't know. Satsuki pardoned her life the first time and she did this, a last demonstration of the past.

I like the design of the doppelgangers, the design of those uniforms were better than what they had in the last episodes.

Houmaru's backstory finally, I thought she would never have this level of protagonism but here she is, is also the first time I've seen that Africa is mentioned in an anime, maybe I haven't watched enough.

Senketsu isn't completely dead, he lives inside Ryuko and in space apparently, he sent her from beyond there.

Satsuki pardoned Houmaru's life again, she isn't the person I thought she was at all, she has changed a lot.

The graduation and the last goodbye to Honnouji, is time for everyone to keep going on their lives.

I like how many new things they showed such as the mechas for the elite 4 and that giant defense system of the academy.

Peak episode as usual, I love the message and everything on it but now that every plotline is closed I wonder what the next special is going to be about, I noticed the comment section on this platform about it has way less comments than this one so I'm curious, I hope it doesn't disappoint, maybe Ryuko's new life?

This episode made me appreciate Satsuki Kiryuuin more as a villain. I think that she is really cute in this episode- really dominant and sadistic kind of woman that I dig. I think that the fight scene was epic, especially with Ryuko using the scissors and making the scissors really big. I feel like the villain was really easy to sympathize with because essentially, she was weak, and Ragya came and saved her, and obviously, she would have the mindset that the strong triumph over the weak. And I didn't really think the villain in this episode was really that cute. But it is what it is. I think that Mako was really nice to see. She's super fucking funny. Um. Oh, so, this was a good episode. Hell yeah. Don't lose your way.
