Well, Kumi's life isn't going to be long but still, it seems there's also a way to extend her life. I'm impressed to see Kumi in a bright mood even though she knows her inevitable fate.

Speaking of which, it looks like this episode is building into an apocalypse style day unless it's averted. This episode was pretty lighthearted though compared to some of the others.

I thought it would play out like the Securians were evil, they are just normal.

I feel that Kumi will learn how to do that Myaa move of this episode.

Kumi having learnt of her illness, and landing into the land of the moo-lah Securians, everything looks like the comfy ride, just when Tsurugi learns that the the Ring of Promise that Kumi has worn throughout her journey, it's power efficient for good or evil, which the Empire intends to leverage it for their own gains.

The pods that the Securians used to grow their kind in centuries, despite how Mezami stole and abused the pods for his own gain, it brings back harmful memories for the once-experimental clone. Despite that,  the Suppressing Ritual must go without a hitch through the chief Kryuness, only except that the giant beasts come attacking all at once. The test of survival vs. finishing the ritual, Kumi has gone through so much hurt that she doesn't want to regret her decisions to aid Jiro.

With the giant beasts' divine invasion, there is no time for bickering within the parent-guardian relationship, and worse still, Facade isn't out of his mind-control manipulation yet. 

The apocalypse has arrived, and how will this Securian land in tatters end?

So Kumi has chosen to fight alongside Jiro instead of prolonging her life. The chapeaus continue to be the most interesting part of the series only this time it was a cow at the Securian village. Having Myaa sneaking of tells me that the chapeaus are planing for something big. Basically a build up episode leading to an epic finale.

Show is full on epic. If only marvel and dc writers could understand proper story telling they would spend less time on twitter accusing me of being an incel and just write good stories. Id recommend they watch watch this as a great example or strong and weak characters vs weak and strong character, and also the power of bonds. No spawn don't count ;p

The moment Kumi declared how happy she was, I swear my brain just immediately switched to playing Scarborough Fair in the background...

looked like things were going to get happy, then it looked ugly, and now it looks like everything might just turn out okay in the end! ^_^

I am still raging they removed that official live-action video with a girl with a sword walking postapoc world.

As for the episode itself, I am not sure how they plan to wrap-up the story in one ep even with chapeus Deus ex machina. Probably they'll anounce a game sequel once it ends. Still like the series, though, it misses Bahamut production levels and I still like secondary characters more than the main ones.

I feel bad for Kumi given what she's been through and that she'd risk living a short life with friends than a longer life alone. There are quite a few loose ends with only one episode remaining so l also think that perhaps they will announce something to keep the story going, otherwise I think the ending will be too abrupt.

All this series needed was 4 or 5 more episodes to flesh out the story. As it is now, everything just feels a bit too rushed.

I hope Kumi somehow gets to live long. She threw away her chance at that to stay with Jiro and others but I hope there's still a way for her. The final battle is here.

Its sad that Kumi is just willing to accept the fact that she's going to die. At least she had a better fate than the others. Also no visitors in 200 years is crazy.
