Hmm, looks like another buildup episode for the big battle in the finale.

Matoi looks ready to fight along with everyone else. I feel like Matoi really mastered how to control her powers now. Make her mother proud!

That's right Shingo. You should realize and do it right now, as Matoi's father. For knowing and probably picking over the truth that after your wife, now it's your daughter's turn to save the world and maybeyet, leave you forever.

I'd feel really bad for Shingo if she doesn't come back...

Can't wait for next week :D

Aw man, that was such a rollercoaster, especially the end there with Shingo T_T

Yuma ain't givin' no shits about how her gods rank just to help Matoi. What a good girl.

Ikr, and that internal monologue from Matoi talking about how she would finally call him 'Dad' really touched me T^T

Yuma and Claris are all her most trusted fiends, I love how close they've gotten although I was quite surprised that Claris didn't decide to form a true divine union. I had thought for sure that she would but okay then xD

This was such a good episode though, the emotions, inner conflicts and everything was spot on imo, can't wait and also dreading the finale next week!

Hmm, pretty decent setup for the finale. Shingo crying at the end was really painful though ;__;.... I hope Matoi returns together with her mom! They've been suffering so much without her DX..

So Pochi was being controlled by a demon. That's good to know. At least he wasn't evil. I feel bad for Shingo. First it was his wife that went to the highest dimension, now it's Matoi's turn. I hope she makes her wish come true. I'm glad Yuma and Claris went with her. They are very close friends.

Aye... Let's hope for a happy ending and a family reunion.

I'm hoping something forces Claris and her god to do a true divine union for the last episode, but I feel that may be hoping for too much >_<

So Pochi had some otherworldly being in him who was doing all the follow-up on Matoi. But he meant no harm and was doing it to sort of guide Matoi to her destiny of sealing the highest dimension. Shingo doesn't want Matoi to do this for obvious reasons. But Matoi wants to do this because she now knows why her mother did it. There's an obvious happy ending coming up where Matoi will most likely find her mother and come back alive. The mother may or may not come back but Matoi will most likely meet her at least. This doesn't seem like a show where they'll have Matoi not return. But I don't mind a happy ending. This episode was good towards the end where Shingo was concerned for Matoi and all. I liked that part.

Oh man yes please let this be a happy ending xD
Matoi's speech seemed like a total death flag so I'm a tad worried that she'll pull a
or something like that
I'm hoping they won't go that route though, since they haven't really had any truly 'tragic' events happen in the story yet iirc so they may opt to go for a happy ending pls don't make me cry

I am too, I really want to see Claris achieve a true divine union in this last ep but like you I feel that may be hoping for too much. Well we'll just have to keep on hoping I guess

Well, hot damn. I thought this show was just a fun little average magical girl series but this episode really nailed me right in the feels. The music was perfect and the end almost put me in tears as well.

I like that Matoi says to make it a day trip because of school the next day, though, it really lightens things up a bit and shows her optimism.

One thing, I'm wondering about Pochi. I figured after all was said and done, whoever was in him would leave his body. But Pochi actually disappeared with him, which is interesting.

A excellent and hearwarming episode
the revelation that pochi was the main villain's alter ego was really unexpected
but the revelation that Shingo already knows Matoi's identity was even more so
Seeing Matoi wrestle with the decision and at the same time seeing her friends
worry about her was pretty touching.

Lol Shingo is late for such an important event as well
So thats how Shingo met his daughter eh lol
Being late to collect your daughter sets a bad example lol

Lol nice to see that Matoi was just joking about being angry there
My to think that Pochi was the alter ego of the bad guy lol
Hmm so Shingo has figured out that Matoi is the exorcist girl eh

Still having the girl crazy sidekick as the alter ego of the main villain
really was a good move
Hmm so Pochi is being possessed by that guy eh

And now Shingo knows just how much responsibility Matoi actually has
just liker her mother did eh
I do feel sorry for Shingo though
All he wanted was for a normal family but then the gods and fate got involved
and made them both shrine maidens that protects the world

hmm so the demon possessing Pochi looks more like an observer than anything lol
Matoi is facing one of the toughest decisions in her life
family or saving the world
now thats a tough choice

lol Yuma's dad and her gran purifying themselves with alcohol
seeing them talk about their worries for Yuma though was also pretty nice
lol Yuma hearing all that and still being positive about it

Yayoi though is such a great character
so understanding and humble
its nice that she was able to tell Matoi's what her mother said last before
departing and making it clear that the decision as ever rests with Matoi
As expected Shiori departed to do her part to protect the world where her
family lived.

Damm but Matoi's wish to her god though really emphasized her down to earth
and honest personality. Sure she didn't want to be a hero in the first place
but she accepts that with her powers she's able to protect the world that
her family and her friends live in and that by going to the higher dimension
she might be able to see her mother again and at the same time protect the world
Matoi's wish is simple but powerful.

seeing all of Matoi's friends worry about her and try and guide her though
is actually quite touching and hearwarming.

It was nice seeing Matoi express her feelings for her mother though
lol trying so hard to sneak out and being discovered
Shingo though despite acting normal in front of Matoi is actually worried sick

Can't wait to see the finale next week
hope that Matoi will be able to save the world and bring Shiori back
lol of course Clarus and Yuma would go with her
they are friends now after all and comrades as well
Clarus really has changed a lot since the series began
she's now far more caring and considerate to others
and loyal to her friends
The final transformation scene though was well done

I need Shingo to have a happy ending. If he doesn't, then that's just too depressing.

I'm glad Matoi and her friends are going together and that they didn't just let her go off by herself.

Very good build up to the final episode. That final few minutes was great and for the first time in the series I desperately want to watch the next episode.

After seeing Shingo cry like that, I am really rooting for a happy ending and reunion.

3/5- Not enough Yuma but that's expected. Glad to see all the girls show their resolve in the end. Clarus wanting to help not because it's her job but she wants to protect she cares for. Yuma being Yuma by wanting fame but also wanting to protect her loved ones as well. Then Matoi's wish is to bring her mom back and reunite her family.

father tears man, the feels. That tacit farewell was painful.
Pochi interesting reveal as helper to awaken Toi's powers to save the world. Not all demons are "bad".
Lol Yuma talking of fame & hero while sleeping snuggly, awesome friends with Clarus to help Toi on their own motivations.

Not a bad episode, seems like mostly buildup for the final battle. Glad that Yuma and Clarus have decided to go with Matoi :) Kind of a shame that Matoi and Shingo didn't really talk much this episode ... and looks like Poochi was being uhh, lived in by another spirit? :P Lol. Either way looks like this is gonna get a happy ending with Matoi bringing back Shiori next episode :O I really liked the BGM at the end there it fit well IMO :)

The calm before the storm.

I like the scene with Matoi's inner monologue.

The scene with Shingo crying was sad.

Pochi was possessed by a spirit, but not a hostile one, but one who guided Matoi, so that she would develop the necessary strength. I wonder, if it's the same, who tricked the Nights.
