| It's crazy how this developed with Takemichi being in perhaps the worst timeline, the present. Mikey's guilt carries him a burden, and the way murder was talked about this episode was really depressing. Mikey's face and expressions looks so ghostly. Tbh, I don't think Takemichi could've prepared himself for this one bit and it's a dark timeline. |
 |
| Mikey lost the head!!! kekeke |
| I am atm still trying to understand why Mikey just went and murdered everyone like that? In my confused state in guessing, is it because at any point any of those guys were in his way, he just goes ahead and murders them for it as he sees murder as an easy way to solve problems, feeling nothing for the consequences of it emotionally, after being so used to it as an easy and effective solution for everything? |

| Pretty bleak, but interesting and emotional. God I hope season 3 gets greenlit. |
| So after all that work in the Christmas showdown arc and it results in the WORST timeline possible ๐ brilliant. Still don’t make sense why Mikey would go and kill all the top toman members lol, but we’ll see what bs they come up with next week |
 |
| So...the result from the Christmas Showdown: Mitsuya has to die? Hina is also dead with the same situation as before? What kind of timeline is this now? A trip back to Takemichi's old, crappy apartment, and the realization that Naoto's memories were overwritten...this timeline is the worst one yet, where even Toman is not spared by being killed altogether. The lead Toman leaders murdered and killed in various circumstances, and even Kisaki, this is one strange timeline where Mikey is to blame for all the murders. And the only person who can relate to him now is Takemichi, with the realization that whatever needed to be done, was already done. The photo evidence that came with a letter from the Philippines, it must definitely be Mikey, and both Takemichi and Naoto set out to find him according to the letter's address, with high caution and no guarantee that he could be alive after 12 years. And there he was, sitting on top of a pile of rubble, to the exact place where the CB250T parts can be found. The boy who hasn't changed physically for 12 years, thank God he recognized the crybaby rightaway. His exposition of realizing his bond with Toman, yet feels resent that Takemichi left Toman to carve his own path of violence, something that even Draken and Mitsuya could not stop him, and that was the final nail in the straw for the two, for Mikey to instinct Takemichi to end his life then and there. Of course, Takemichi being sorely confused about the matter, but it only confirms of Mikey's rampage when even murder in cold blood doesn't waver his heart. Sure, Takemichi may still be living in denial that Mikey would not be a killing machine, but this is real, and Mikey's for real, so much so that Naoto ends up pulling the trigger to end his life right there. The crybaby could not do it, he simply couldn't. What will Takemichi do now, since this has come to fruition? The finale beckons... |
 |
| Worst timeline yet? All Toman members were killed? The killer is Mikey? You can't drop a bombshell like that and tell me there's only one episode left... |
| Mikey called dude out there in some other country and he went there just like that... knowing full well he's a mass murderer. You can't even call this creature stupid at this point LMAOOOOO Set up for Tenjiku arc, means third season is a possibility after all. |
 |
| Liked the Call backs from S1 but for what Mikey killed all the Toman members? I'm confused. Hope there will be interesting story behind it. |
| I really like how the story of this anime develops Mikey :( |
on 
| Dude, this is the worst future. I’m completely heartbroken Mikey :( It’s time to go back in time again. |
 |
| Yes, some commets have the same doubt that I, why Mikey lost the head? What happened with Mikey to arrived to this point? More questions that imagine in the next episodes we will discover...well in next seasons!!! kekeke |
| So, uhm ... why again does Mikey deserve to be saved? No matter what Takemichi does, Mikey literally bears the potential to murder all of his friends. No matter the circumstances, that's just extremely shitty. |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
| Let's put aside the question as to why Mikey went psycho and killed everyone for now; I'm 90% sure that that his absurd motivations will be explained later down the line, to an extent that is at least somewhat believable. The issue I have is that it doesn't seem like Takemichi's actions in the past and consequences in the future are connected at all. It's almost like the writers are playing spin the wheel: "Ok, Takemichi defeated Black Dragon and managed to kick Kisaki out of Roman? Alright, spin the wheel and see what the results will be! ‘Mikey slips on a banana peel and dies’ Bro, that’s pretty lame. Spin the wheel again. ‘Mikey kills everyone for some reason’ Ok now, THIS is something interesting and will get the audience on the edge of their seats. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!” Maybe I’m not being fair; maybe it needs more time to play out and explain itself. But honestly, doesn’t it KIND OF feel like Takemichi’s actions aren’t fully connected to the events that happen when he returns to the future? Maybe it’s just me. Maybe the events are related. Perhaps Kisaki and Black Dragon kept Mikey in check in a way. I WANT to believe that a roadmap was planned in the writers’ room. But it just ever-so-slightly feels like they all went RANDOM BULLSHIT: GO! And finished the script in 5 minutes. Nitpicks aside, this is the best episode for me so far from this season. Not just because of the big “WTF” moments, but because of a line that Mikey quickly says: “We can’t go back to the past.” I want this line to continuously echo within Takemichi’s mind. With all the loops that Takemichi has made in trying to fix everything and save everyone, he needs to learn that the world was never perfect, and shit will happen in one way or the other. The best ending this series could have is a cliché one, but still the best one: which is Takemichi finally accepting that no matter what he does, he cannot save everyone. That would be leagues better than the redundancy of him going back in time over and over again until he everything is exactly the way he wants it to be. Because then it’s pointless, we know it’s not going to work out, we know something’s going to get messed up in the future, because they gotta milk this story as long as people are invested in it. We can enjoy the action in the meantime, but in the back of our minds we gotta be thinking: “he’s just probably going to fail again probably, so what’s the point??” And if they’re going to be lame and indeed have a happy ending play out in the end with everyone NOT dying, the only anticipation and suspense we will feel through each of the loops is: “is THIS the loop where Takemichi finally succeeds?” Takemichi’s actions then just wouldn’t matter at all. The only thing that controls anything is the manga deciding when it’s time to end things, and to stop milking a repetitive story. Maybe I’m being narrow-minded and failing to see that they are indeed setting up the bigger picture to this whole story. Maybe it is more than just going back and forth in time until Takemichi fixes things. But I still don’t see it. Haven’t read the manga, but I think I’m going to spoil it just a little bit for myself just to find out if it really is just the same thing over and over again until Takemichi achieves a happy ending. edit: So I just glossed over the summaries of the remaining arcs, but it seems that |

| Sorry but I laughed at "even Kisaki got killed" part. Hearing this I immediately assumed, so it has to be Mikey, right? I mean, there was literally no one left lol. How the heck did Hina manage to get herself killed this time too lol. Did Kisaki get her before getting killed himself, lol? |
OMG this episode! Now it's Mikey to sink... ๐ญโ  |
| Lmao what? No, not even with Kisaki too you damn Mikey! Anyway, future Mikey looks so lame not gonna lie. He's so desperately needs Takemitchy, not even letting poor guy live in peace. What a possessive little dude he become smh. Idk how Takemitchy needs to take a responsibility out of Mikey own mess. Better to just moving away from those shit hole and find Yuzuha, cause i bet she still in crush with you and yeah, that's a better life if i can be honest here.... Alas, here we go again, loopin time! |

| mikey?!?!? well firstly, i guess my question regarding who that was right at the very ending of the ED was answered lol. takemichi should have been prepared to go back to the past once he heard everyone was dead. what a horrible timeline. |

amagirinomikoto said: I was thinking going back immediately could have been the choice, too, but the one problem is would be not knowing what led to this timeline.mikey?!?!? well firstly, i guess my question regarding who that was right at the very ending of the ED was answered lol. takemichi should have been prepared to go back to the past once he heard everyone was dead. what a horrible timeline. But if Takemichi was going put himself in danger like this, he should have at least tried to figure out who Mikey killed the first time so he'd maybe have some hint on who to stop him from killing. Well, hopefully, the police will have some hint to who it was, but it's hard to believe they had hard evidence of the murder if he wasn't jailed the whole time. (Assuming it was the first murder that drove Takemichi out of Toman). |
| Bro gets shot in the head and is still able to talk for a few minutes lol |
 |
| this episode was just dropping bombs left and right. really is the worst timeline, oh my god. wondering what needs to be fixed this time to prevent the shit show that is the current timeline. at this point im starting to wonder if the only way to save everyone is for takemichi to just stay in the past. because when he jumps back to the present, the him in his past body doesn't know about the whole time traveling thing and trying to prevent the deaths of the people he cares about, so he's not actively trying to avoid conflict. so it seems to me that having takemichi permanently in the past to do exactly that would fix it all? but then again if he stays there permanently there's no chance to change the past if something goes wrong in the timeline. anyway, im interested to see how they'll wrap up the season next episode. hoping a season 3 gets approved as well |
My 2023 candies:      |
| gotta respect mikey's commitment, bro was really sitting on some rubble in the ruins, in a different country waiting for takemichy lol. wow, the worst timeline, huh. mikey got headshot and still managed to speak proper sentences, damn. ah, at least it's finally almost over. |
 |
| I don't believe that Mikey killed all the ToMan, it was a very interesting revelation |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
| Lol it’s the same thing over and over again. Also Mikey sucks big time as a leader. A lot of these bad futures are partly his fault. And this one seems to be completely his fault… |
 |
| Mah boy Takebitchy f'd up really hard this time. |
 |
| Me at the end of last episode: Well, it's not like he has to save everyone, right? Me this episode: oh Why did Naoto shoot Mikey in the head like that? Should've aimed for arm or shoulder or something imo. And how the hell was Mikey still able to talk lol |
 |
| it took 40 ish episodes but it finally happened! the show got decent finally |

Pretty much. Once he worked out that killing somebody did not affect him he was on the path. Without takemitchy there to tell him it is wrong he just kept doing it. Bad logic. Yes. But logic. |
| Was it Kisaki at 0:16? But he's supposed to be dead... |
