| Even this late in the show, Shindou is trying to get her words across to Mio. Unforunately, it looks like she's willing to do anything to bring back "Shin". Interesting that Shindou got the chance to meet Shin this time. Seems the two were destined to meet in some way or another. It looks like the beach they were at is from a space created by Ein Sof. Either way, I believe this episode serves as an important buildup for the seasona finale, now that everything is more clear. The cliffhanger with the birth of second Spirit Origin though..big fight coming ahead. |
 |
| Best girl strikes again. As the battle goes on, it doesn't look well for Shidou and the spirits with all the Nicolbels flying around. Just as Shidou is about to die, Kurumi appears out of nowhere and stabs Wescott in the chest, ripping out his Sephira. It turns out she transferred her Sephira and personality to one of her clones before Mio killed her. Kurumi absorbs the Sephira, but before anyone can react, Mio returns and is about to execute Plan: Kill Everyone and Get Back Shinji. At that moment, Kurumi kisses Shidou and gets sealed. Finally Shidou's grown some balls to confront Mio about Shinji not being a person anymore. This is one of the few times I've heard this dude yell. Though even with the yelling, Mio's still being annoying and cant get it through her cranium.. sigh. But finally, after five seasons, a whole decade, SHIDOU HAS FINALLY KISSED KURUMI AND OFFICIAL SEALED EVERY SPIRIT. Then ofc you got Nia over here talking about getting NTR'd... lmaooo. The final boss... Westcott. |
 |
| we've nearly in the end of the season, and finally we see Kurumi in Rasiel form !!!, kinda sad we didn't see more action today, and somehow we got another glimpse of Shido x Kurumi moment lmao |
 |
| The Rasiel form was something I wasn't a big fan of, ever, because Nia totally gets washed away as a character, while Kurumi became "overclutcher". Always wanted Nia to get one back at DEM because she suffered the most at their hands... Shido's va is hitting all the perfect energy in these few episodes, you love to hear it. Stripped of toys and schemes, Westcott finally shows himself. I remember getting absolute shivers when I heard that "Second Spirit of Origin". |

| Kurumi with the save again. She looks cute with her new form, both of them ahem. We got kiss again which was sweet. Watching Shido, Reine, Mio and Shin at the beach made me emotional. Wish there was a way for all of them to be happy. Also give it a rest already with this piece of shit. Someone kill Westcott already. Just one last episode. Hope we get a final season/movie announcement next week. |

| Even when Westcott thought he had the upper hand, Kurumi is always the outlier to make and break between victory and defeat. Kurumi ripping Westcott's Sephirah out of him, thanks to the clone from before her own Sephirah was stolen by Moi, she finally has both Sephirahs to be able to evolve to a higher state. But still, the group find themselves in Mio's Ein Sof sphere, which Shido realizes that Mio isn't after him, but Shinji Takamiya, of which he was created for this purpose. But then again, even with all of the Sephirah obtained, Shido would not turn into Shin, which Mio is already devoid of her feelings. Still, to seal her as not Shin but Shido, Kurumi puts her trust in Shido, even kissing him to seal her powers to add Zaphkiel to his repertoire. With all 10 Sephirah, Shido tries again to seal Mio, which forebearing Kurumi to use her new Angel to peek into her memories, finally gets to see how both Shin and Mio look like with a replay of their memories as collateral for understanding their relationship, and why Shin was created in the first place as a backbone to kill her when the time is right. Alas, between Shido, Reine, Shin and Mio, there's a Second Spirit of Origin...? This is just bad... |

| Raaaaaah Kurumi masterclass, she’s really trying to get on my fave waifu list 😩 brilliant bit of planning by her to transfer her soul to a clone just in time. One last episode to go and then this journey that’s more than a decade in the making will be over.. 💔 let’s hope it’s a happy ending for Mio and everyone besides Ike. Kurumi getting a separate Sephiroth sounded pretty damn erotic lol. But her Raizel form is gorgeous omg 😍 With no do overs or time travel in the back pocket to save him this time, Shido gotta reach Mio and make her choose him over the past. Not an easy task at all, but he definitely started out on the right track but explaining the error of her ways. It’s not just memories and a physical body that make us who we are. It’s our experiences and struggles. Even if she gives Shido all of shin’s memories, he will never be Shin. And Shin wouldn’t want Mio wallowing in despair like this forever. Also love that he asked if their time together was that much inferior to her and Shin’s. I mean at this point, thru her Reine half, Mio has been with Shido and the group longer than she was ever with Shin and has a ton of great memories with them.. surely that’s gotta be worth something to her. THAT KURUMI KISS WAS GREAT. My boy really grew up in front of my eyes. So proud of him. Shido is indeed getting really good at that. Even Kurumi was left flustered lol “Am I getting NTR’d” 😭 Think Nia mentioning NTR is the first time I’ve heard someone actually say it in an anime that was a lil shock but hilarious. The whole beach sequence was heartbreaking 💔 just seeing what could’ve been with Mio and Shin, but again, he’d definitely want her to be happy and not carrying this pain for so long. The double date scenes were just so good. Reine and Shido really make a great couple ❤️ I want nothing but their happiness. And here go this mf Wescott trying to start more shit with ANOTHER spirit of origin??? Please kill this dude in the most excruciating way possible lol |

| "Ngh, I'm getting NTR'd?!" Most bittersseet way to end a double date on the beach with your alternate selves ever. That soothing track that played when they were just chilling is my jam tho |
| The finale is near now... After all this work, if they don't adapt the last 3 volumes, I'll be fr depressed forever ;( |

| That ending had me Buzzing, Ike is such a badass villain. |
| Of course DEM couldn't leave well enough alone, Westcott was planning on having Shido keep Mio busy enough for him to carry out creating yet ANOTHER Spirit of Origin to carry out his plans. It seems like the only hope for the world is for Shido to make Mio move on from Shinji and her pain and choose loving him and the future! |
| Raziel Kurumi looks extremely beautiful and that laugh of hers is addictive ngl. Why can't Isaac just die already😫. |
| That Kurumi sure has got some seriously perfect timing, and just loves to make a grand entrance. |
 |
| Episode went by fast. Kurumi's new dress will make a bunch of new figures for sure. We're on to the finale now. |
| Sheesh Kurumi got a new form and now we actually have everyone together to fight the final boss lol. But instead we got something else, and at the end, the big bad turned into a bigger bad? no way lol. The final episode gotta have a big fight incoming. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| I feel really bad for Mio honestly, she did all this for the man she loved subconsciously knowing that it won’t truly bring him back, but so that she’ll be killed by the man she loved. 10/10 better love story than Twilight. |
| Westcott always cockblocked whenever Shido and Reina have their moment, how many times we are gonna teach him same lesson old man? |
 |
| Ugh, Westcott still won't just fuck off and die so we have to put up with his incredibly boring and shitty presence for another episode yet. It would have been nice if the final boss of the series actually had an emotional connection to the characters involved, or had any sort of charisma whatsoever. 95% of his scenes this season have been mind-numbingly boring, and he poses no threat anymore as he's been easily swept aside so many times now. I'm just imagining an alternate timeline where Westcott dies or is otherwise written out of the story either at the end of last season or the start of this one, to focus on the emotional core of the narrative with Mio as the final boss. But no, we have fucking Westcott instead. Terrible, terrible villain and an absolute embarrassment as a "final boss". I just want this season to be over and Westcott to finally be killed off once and for all. |

| @Atavistic Westcott and Mio are the two big villains of Date a Live. Westcott completely destroyed Shin's life, used his sister in experiments, tortured Nia for 5 years... and many other things He let Shidou live for a while, but when he decided to kill him, he did it hundreds of times. He has an emotional connection with Elliot and Karen, he really likes them. And another one that will be revealed later |
| Finally Kurumi did the deed and extracted Westcott Nia Qlipha Crystal and purified it, also after 5 seasons she kisses Shido when she learns he is going to face Mio. Mio and Reine enjoying a double date inside Ain Soph how nice. So Westcott now becomes a god hoping to get to the level where Mio is, the trash never learns. |

| Loving the conclusion of this ordeal being played out. We can see now that Wescott wanted that power himself and what he intends to do is reshape the world. |
 |
| It's nice to see Mio with Shinji again back at their beloved beach, Mio looking forward to all the times she can spnd with him as a couple...but it's little more than a dream and a happy memory. On some level Mio knew she would never be able to be with Shinji again. So why create Shido and design him around becoming so powerful? It wasn't just to keep him safe, it was to create someone who could kill her and end her suffering. |
 |
| series ends next week and im still waiting for Ike to be "one of the greatest villains ever" as some here said he'll be oh well wcyd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
 |
| Seeing Reine,Shido, Mio and Shinji all together feels weird but kinda wholesome. Kurumi reached her FINAL FORM and got not one but two kissu! |
| Westcott is one heck of an antagonist. People hate him. But that just shows that he is playing his part very well. |
 |
| I like how Kurumi's new spirit outfit combines the best elements of her and Nia's outfits, and deleted most of the rest. Those elements being the bustier and the black lower undergarment. I need to see if they've released this version as a figure yet, to go with all the more questionable ones they've already released. |

| @katakumplat 2 figure kurumi rasiel are in preparation and will be up for pre-order soon x)   |
| So there has to be a final season or some OVA's later to finish the story, right? No way they end the series with the next episode. Preferably without the CGI, it's become more and more awful with how much they use it, even in scenes without fights now. Also, it'd be great if we could get some figures of the other characters for once. ^^^ |
| "Well, she's flatter than a pancake" -Mimi Alpacas |
| Damnn lot to appreciate with the ep, Shido kissing Kurumi FR. Issac being the next spirit of origin goes pretty hard ngl. I hope Reine will survive at the end, though I imagine that ain't it. |
 |
| KURUMI IS THE BEST, SHE IS JUST THE BEST, SHE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL, SHIDO SHOULD END ALL OF THIS AND ESCAPE WITH HER HOLY SHIT Why did bro had to be called Shinji? That's so fkng funny to me lmao If a second "Spirit of Origin" is born, then it wouldn't be "of Origin", dumbass lol |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| And finally we are at the episode before the season's finale and the adaptation of up to volume 19 of the LN which episode 12 should end on. Kurumi coming in to take Wescott's sephira almost felt too easy, granting her the power of Rasiel, and giving her a new astral dress. She then goes on to pass these powers to Shido sealing them with a long awaited kiss between the two, while Shidou rushes in to kiss Mio and the two along with Reine and Shin are all together in a pseudo world. With Wescott being resurrected at the end as a new origin spirit, it seems like he will be this season's last boss.  |
| Three cheers for Kurumi, who finally managed to put a halt to DEM by ripping the gem out of him. I'm happy to celebrate this moment, the moment Kurumi gets to do work and... whats up with absorbing the gem... New Kurumi looks! Costume change is OP.. with the trade off of only having Mio now. F Mio again. Let this man cook, call her out saying Shin is gone. She's in love with the past now. I neee to give this man a medal. He's spitting so many facts that he's his own person you can't deny it. Something about the smooches with Kurumi and her third costume change hits different. But hey, Shido was able to ice the no-touch zone. Please NTR the manga artist's ability as much as you like Kurumi, she brought the idea up XD F DEM guy again. Would have been happy to see Westcott down for the count so we could have the beach date going on in peace. But we don't have that, the dude doesn't even have the spirit power anymore but he insists on wreaking more havoc. Shido, please finish your business quick before a bigger problem comes around. |
