| After getting to know more about Kurumi and her past in this arc, I do feel bad for her. This arc has definitely been the most intense imo and Kurumi herself experienced all sorts of emotions, especially when confronting her past. Then, there's also Shido who still stood by her side. Felt like this was the best arc in the franchise in awhile. Bring on Season 5. |
 |
| Kurumi's history with Mio Takamiya a.k.a the Spirit of Origin / First Spirit that tormented her life into being the dangerous Spirit she is today, she wants to erase the fact that Sawa's death wasn't deserved and her forcing to become a Spirit to save her, everything hinges on Shido and his willingness, everything, except her Spirit power Zaphkiel. The Worst Spirit Kurumi giving the only thing that's worth her life: her virginity to Shido, but of course, with Westcott's Beezlebub Spirit they only attempt to do killings, which Kurumi's 7th Bullet Zayin does the trick to stall their time and movement, but in the process, sapping more of her power and humanity away. This is something that D.E.M certainly hasn't accounted for, and to have a clone pass on the message to the already-dead Shido (if the date plan hadn't gone as observed with D.E.M's interference to kill Shido, and wreak havoc upon the world with the Inverse Spirits and not being able to revive him with Dalet). Kurumi's 6th Bullet Vav, we're seeing for the second time since Season 1 (mentioned briefly) when Shido sealed Kurumi's powers to save Kotori, and this power reversed back to Kurumi just in time to reverse time back to the past and save Shido. Her clones doing all of the background work while in preparation for a day like this after Shido being killed and revived 204 times, that must've been some work done. Kurumi seeking a resolution with her clone, while not having much energy to fight, and the appearance of the Phantom (which turned out to be Reina Murasame), the pieces are falling into place: Reine secretly playing a cat-and-dog chase with Shido and the Spirits, while Shido bolds his resolve to save Kurumi. A very ominous cliffhanger that leads to Season 5...and since it is already in production, just hoping that whatever the staff team is doing to DAL's adaptation, this is going back to form of how I remembered it to be. The question is when will we get Season 5 to finish adapting the entire LN. |

| Bruh like watching Kurumi removing all her clothes and asking Shido to take the treat had me jump off my chair for an instant lol. Though that was the sole easy-to-go part of this whole episode, again Kurumi explaining the past events even dating back to that Kotori's fight in first season, made it all clear how much she was involved in pretty much everything for this whole time. Damn, best girl for a reason. Leaving things off like that.... good thing fifth season is already on the way. Maybe the only season I liked after that very first one, or atleast this arc made this season look more better. |

| That was a big cliffhanger, at least season 5 is already in production and after the end of this one obviously i will watch that one, looking forward to it. It really was reine all along i mean the hair color was kinda a historia but it seems it really was her, know i want to know why did she make all that to kurumi. This season become my favourite of date a live 9/10 |
 |
| Holy shit I wasn’t expecting to see shido decaptitated without censorship. This was a really brutal finale emotionally and physically. I’m definitely starting to understand why people like Kurumi now. This arc has done a really good job of giving some much needed backstory and development to her character. Loved seeing how bashful she was when her clone told shido how she feels Nice cliffhanger to leave off on leading up to season 5. Really happy with the job the studio did with this. Looks like DAL finally has a happy home who are committed to the story. Excited for what comes next. |

The spirit of origin is mio we literally saw her last week… |

| Totally wrecked me. Shido put in the position he has been. Epic story. This is also why American comics and film franchises are dying. The people writing the stories have no concept or creativity. #animetellsgoodstoriesfucktheusa ;) |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Now we know a lot more about Kurumi and her clones that a kiss helped Kurumi to bring Shido back to life. Nice Season 5 in Production. |

| Ending this season on such a cliffhanger is pure evil. The truth is finally revealed, Kurumi saved Shido all this time. She's such a great girl. Also Reine was phantom all along? Damn. This was a great finale. Need s5 asap, hopefully we'll get an announcement soon. |

|
| Can't wait for season 5! |
| What a thrilling conclusion!!! Even though there was foreshadowing, I didn't expect Reine to be the Phantom. Thanks to her arc, Kurumi has now surpassed Kotori as my second favorite DAL girl, with Tohka remaining my favorite. |
  |
| NGL, I really hope to see the Yamai sisters' inverse forms but oh well, it didn't happen. I hope we will get the rest of the spirit's inverse design in some unknown upcoming art book, who knows? |
| DILF characters need more appreciation Hot boys which are not Bishies also welcome |
| Dang that was one hell of a cliffhanger lmao, let's hope the fifth season will come soon enough. 7/10 for this season, animation was good but the cgi was definitely not it. Kurumi arc was pretty good and nia was a cool character. Not a big fan of mukuro though |

| KAWASHITA YA!!! KUSOKO!! WASURENAI YO ME!!! WO TOJI TASHIKAMERU!!! OSHIYOSE!!! TA YAMI!! FURIHARATTE SUSUMO YO!!! Anyways, Shido had a glimpse of greatness at the start there. IM ENVIOUS!!! & yeah!!! Using her Time Shield, She prevented everyone from becoming witches. & to think Kyuubey was with them all along. HER TSUNDERE & HONEST SIDE ARE SO CUTE!!!

| Definitely was the best arc when it comes to Kurumi and her development, of course I'm starting to like her more and more so seeing her past + explanations was good for sure, I can't wait to see what will happen in the 5th season. |
 |
| How many more times will this girl make me fall in love with her over and over again? She redid Shido's death 204 times instead of devouring him without his permission, bless my girl... Kurumi Tokisaki > your favourite waifu |
| I love Kurumi, and it was definitely worth having multiple episodes showcasing her. I love how she see's herself as the villain (rightfully so), but still has noble reasons for continuing to wreak havoc. Big twist at the end, who knew they had an insider working with them. S5? Well, this season was better than s3 so I'm hopeful. |
 |
| It was a great episode, and they award us Kurumi fans with some good naked kurumi scenes 😌 |

| Season really picked up towards the end and I'm glad the 5th one was announced right off the bat after such a cliffhanger xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| THIS IS F*KING AWESOME!!! the new animation... i have nothing to say to it, it was perfectly done, those some scene are bad but ITS GOOD!!! and also kurumi cute side of her in the end is so 😍✨👌👌. also cant ignore the fact that the phantom is there also!!! what a big plot twist, but why put us all in a interesting massive cliff hanger wth man! i just hope for the season 5, they dont change animators, lets just keep it as season 4 as it is. |
 |
| damn this show was pretty good enough until we got season 5 has been announced |
よろしくね！ |
| I didn't like any of the drama or action this season. Only the lighthearted episodes were good. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| These last few episodes gave me nearly all of what I wanted. Glad S5's already confirmed. |

(15. character limit) Wow we have 4 fav characters in common |
_Mehraan_ said: Great.. :) To make this night more memorable I'll watch the hour long finale of Kaguya sama Ultra romantic... Mann this day couldn't get any better Two GOATs ending tonight.! Yes Kaguya sama's ep is what I'm the most excited for...even though I've already read it I can't help it, it is just that goated |
| damn that was a perfect final episode the 2 plot twits were really good cant wait for s5 to start |
 |
| We did it bois. Date A Live V is confirmed. Road to full adaptation let's f***ing go! This season, they stopped with the spirits getting naked upon being sealed by Shido but having Kurumi take it all off for Shido more than made up for it. This should have led to seggs. Earlier, when Nia was talking about Kurumi wanting to kill the original spirit, the camera angles were suspiciously focusing on Reine. Now we know why. See y'all on season 5. |
