Shizuru and the girls closing into Ikebukuro...and meeting pseudo-animals on the train track, it's Shizuru's animal family who has been on the run outside for their investigations on the train cart, which is very beaten. But the truth of how they got beaten by people in Shiinamachi, it's indeed Yoka with human Pochi and Poison Pontaro, though she looked all different that they don't believe that it's her. Zenjiro's 5-minute words of wisdom does help them realize that something's wrong in Ikebukuro, and they speed up to the city after parting ways with her family going back to Agano. Slowly, piece by piece, the girls know what they need to do, including handling Yoka and turning the world back to normal.

Closing into Shiinamachi, the girls embrace for the attack, but what they find is a broken road ahead that the train cannot cross, and the confirmation of Yoka along with Poison Pontaro. But the fight against the peopel in berets, which turned out to be mangakas who orchestrated the change of NeriAli with the berets. Techncially, anyone with the beret has the power to stop them, and the power system is quite interesting, though sticking to conventions like true passion artists with the cliché is quite the joke in and of itself. But know that they know that Yoka is involved with 7G, defeating the mangakas is the way is paved for them to finally enter Ikebukuro.

With 2 episodes left, how will this show wrap up?

Backstory cut short but hey that was the least emotional family reunion ever lol.

We finally see what was missing on the map! And the drawings are significantly better!

I think Akira is my favorite character lol was Guevara inference to the Cuban Marxist leader? It must be if she's talking about rebellion.

Anyone know what "Kyurun" means? I googled it but nothing came up.

Damn, just let the dad go with you :( especially if you haven't seen him in 2 years.

Zenjirou told them to wait but the girls didn't listen and continued.

Interesting that in the last episode "Pochi" gave her Agano curry and bitter melon... since that's a staple where she's from. But what happened to the long bitter melon vines that grew around the train?

BL flash had me dying

After meeting and speaking with Shizu's father in so long the group venture to the outskirts of Ikebukuro where the train line arbitrarily ends with a massive hole. They find out that Youka is associating with mean looking guys in the newspaper. The town nearby are full of 'artists' and their combat power is changing the girls artstyles lol

"BL Flash" has got to be the most unhinged anime attack of the season. I'd be scared of being hit by that even by a little graze
I'm convinced they gave up on the art and decided to do this episode freestyle and it's a good change from the previous one. Was that art style near the end an ashita joe reference?

I love the series as a whole, but this battle was something on whole another level. xD
But now, when we saw Ikebukuro from distance, doesnt it look like our four girls are 'normal hoomans' going to rescue otaku Youka? xp

The journey to Ikebukuro continues, and what looked to be that would significantly impact it was quickly overcome.
Another strange interaction with those artistic people, but it seems Akira's unique mind saved the day.
You can tell they are perhaps getting a little worried the more they learn about Youka, but I don't think that will be enough to stop them.

Oh man they finally reach the last track before Ikebukuro. Lots of stops getting skips, even dare to skip the holy grail of flashback, cut to the point, with no exception. Poor those symbol of rebellion and decadence mangaka. Even the beret for Akira actually just a mere plot device to fastened things up even more since how on earth they can fight those mangaka without any deus ex machina? All in all at the end of the day, train to the end of the world also can't avoid the fact that time constraints always be the most subject to be blamed everything can't be that much entertaining....
