| man........why do anime directors do this ;-; the ending was pretty decent but they should've given ore details over what exactly was happening. it felt too rushed |
 "Many people die with their music still in them. Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out."  |
| Oh man, this blew my mind with how confusing it was, lol. So my best bet is that Shion made a new earth as a present for Suou to live a normal life for once, BUT THAT'S A FAKE LIFE!!! Ofc someone's missing from there Suou, because YOUR BROTHER DIED. I never liked these things where characters forget something very important due to external reasons, probably just me. Also yea, their wish kind of got fulfilled, but they lost something which is basically their original soul(?). Now I don't understand why there's a genderbend Yin in that coffin but I guess she's killing everyone that tries to get into the gate? And also I don't understand why there were 2 Yins, one not saying anything and the other talking to Hei, which in the end killed her and went with her somewhere, nobody knows where but hey, at least they are finally together for eternity. OH WAIT, I THINK I KNOW. THE NEW WORLD SHION MADE DOESN'T HAVE CONTRACTORS, THAT'S WHY HE MADE IT!! THAT HAS TO BE IT! Another thing I don't understand is the reason behind what that guy at the end said to Kirihara "that's why we wanted you to join us in the first place"... WHY? And why does she looks different and what is she doing with them now. Also I thought normal people can't join the gate on their own and that it's very dangerous. And the last thing (maybe). WHY did Shizume and Hazuki fight at the end which resulted in both dying, from what the broken weapon is trying to say. What was the reason behind it. I was so happy to finally see them talk normally but nope, apparently they went at each other right after. Also what's with that random magician scene. He was dead, but he suddenly appeared, asked July something to which he simply said "no" and the guy was like "oh ok, bye I guess". Honestly, I'm glad I watched this before Gaiden like everyone originally did and how Bones intended it since Gaiden was published way after Gemini. Now, I don't know if I like the ending or not but hey, it could have been worse. But one thing's for sure, season 1 is DEFINITELY much better. |

Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| oh my god... where do I even start? I am severely disappointed and angry at how things turned out, not just in this episode but the anime as a whole. This anime had extreme potential, but they threw it all away. And this ending... couldn't be any worse and infuriating... Although there was multiple times that I enjoyed it, overall it was a garbage anime. AND OH GOD DID IT MAKE ME ANGRY. They also ruined every single character this season.... oh, and uhhh... why didnt they ever show anything about Amber's past, Hei's sister, and what happened at heaven's war? Pure garbage. and they could have at least explained more about what happened with Hei and what he is doing after the shit ending, instead of Misaki saying that she thinks he is still alive... 3/10 - because it had sooooo much potential but it turned out like this. |
 |
| Look, I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but this ending was just really confusing for me and felt like it ended abruptly I barely understood what was happening, but I did enjoy watching the anime overall. But at least tell us tf is happening with the mc and Yin. |

| Sort of an underwhelming ending. Too many developments that should've either taken place earlier, been spread out over more episodes, or just not happened (with all these irrelevant side character scenes that have no place in the final episode). I know Darker than Black has a veritable abundance of ambiguous and vague events that never get further explanation, but there comes a point where it just gets annoying. |

| Shion having the power of creation made it so Suou could live in a new world he created where there's no "Gate's" and contractors. Meanwhile the world we've come to known exists at the same time, just without Suou and Shion now. I went into this season thinking it was going to be a continuation on what Season 1 tried to do but instead it feels like it was something completely new. Which for me is not a bad thing, in fact I really enjoyed this season, it's a lot different from what Season 1 did but thankfully that didn't end up being a bad thing. The action was great, I would even say that was an improvement over Season 1. The soundtrack and the music in general was a plus too. It's a whole different vibe from Season 1 but it worked out surprisingly well. 8/10 Now on to Gaiden to get some more insight ^^ |

For people who are confused at the ending,
from: https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/2h37nx/a_comprehensive_explanation_of_darker_than_black/
I know this isn't exactly the newest series, but I just finished it and I was stumped for awhile. I looked around and others seemed to be as well, so I thought I'd write this up to give people some closure (maybe even for those who watched it years ago). After reading up as much as I could on what others thought about the implications in the ending, watching it twice, and doing a ton of thinking, I've put together explanations of quite a few things. It's long, but I was searching for a comprehensive explanation and couldn't find one, so I decided to write one.
For reasons unexplained, Yin is melded with Izanami (perhaps in the form of her observer spirit)
Likewise, Shion is melded with Izanagi (yellow spirit seen in OVAs)
When Izanami and Izanagi meet, something alien will emerge
It's assumed this alien being will bring destruction and death to Earth (which is true, as seen from the last parts of the ending)
The reason Yin tells Hei to kill her is to spare Earth from this being
Izanami is a destroyer (sucking out people's souls) and Izanagi is a creator (cloning people)
Izanami's ability is the transfer of memories, similar to the ME device
Izanami and Izanagi wanted to be united, but Shion wanted something out of it as well (the creation of an alternate Earth)
Therefore he struck a deal with Izanami and Yin, Yin's part of the deal being with Hei forever. It's a four-way deal. Izanagi and Izanami want to be united, Shion wants to make another Earth, and Yin wants to be with Hei.
Yin and Izanami captured souls for samples (referenced by Izanagi in the OVA) of whether the memory transfer for all the cloned Earthlings would work as their side of the deal
Shion/Izanagi led Hei to Yin as their side of the deal
Madame's supercomputers collected all of Earth's inhabitants' memories, and Izanami transferred the memories to all the cloned Earthlings on the alternate Earth created by Shion/Izanagi
Hei did not kill Yin. He was given his powers back by Yin and used them to separate Yin and Izanami
The flash of light you see when Hei is touching Yin is reminiscent of the prior times that Hei/Bai used the same power. If he really killed Yin, he could have done it with simple electricity.
The whole point of killing Yin is to take Izanami down with her, to prevent the rise of the alien. But guess who we see in the end?
The "male Yin" is the prophesied "destroyer of worlds" as seen from him killing John Smith & Co.
Since Yion (nickname for male Yin) clearly exists now, that means Izanami did not die. Near the end, Yin says "It's not too late" which means if Hei had killed her then, Yion wouldn't have risen.
Therefore, since Yion did appear, killing Yin would be pointless (see 15).
Hei chose to let Izanami live/Yion rise in order to have Yin.
The body Hei is carrying is clearly the one that was in the chamber. They said it was an empty shell, but after the split of Izanami/Yin, her soul would return to her body. She's just unconscious.
If you consider all this, it actually bears a remarkably strong similarity to the ending of season one. In season one, Hei is given the choice to eliminate all contractors (which would probably make the world a better place but cause him to lose his friends and most importantly, Yin). We see from the OVAs that Hei clearly loved Yin even before Gemini. At the time of season one's ending, choosing to save the contractors would have really only kept Bai within him and saved Yin (we assumed Mao was dead, since Hei saw him in Goldenland) and Hei didn't have much of anyone else he cared about (who was a contractor). He knows that if he chooses to kill all the contractors, the world will be better off. However, he does not want to lose Yin (the only person he would've lost in reality). Thus he makes his third choice and we all know what happens. In the ending of Gemini, once again Hei is given the choice to save humanity or Yin. That's really what it boils down to. Yion's existence will surely cause great devastation and may even bring about the end of the world. Hei can kill Yin to prevent this from happening, but in the end, he chooses to save Yin instead. There is no third option this time. Thus, at the endings of both seasons, it simply comes down to Hei having to make a decision to save Earth or save his beloved Yin. There's something to be said about the irony in which a series about contractors (heavily emphasized to be emotionless and logical) boils down to a decision to save someone he loves over the entire Earth. This decision is entirely based on emotion: pure love for Yin. There's nothing logical about it - possibly dooming the world in exchange for the life of the person you love? It's a rather poetic ending, and a happy one for the MCs. Suou and July get to live the normal life they deserve, Hei and Yin are together forever (and will be able to survive better than your ordinary human), and Kirigaya and Mao survive to most likely join the fight against Yion. Notice how I said it's a happy ending for the MCs? Yeah, most normal humans are probably screwed.
Thanks for reading this all the way through, if you did. It's a monster of a post, but I truly could not find anything that answered all the questions I had. I hope this can help some people who are struggling with the implications of the ending (or just looking to confirm the happy ending), and I'll also address any counterpoints presented.
TLDR; Yin gave Hei his powers back. Hei uses the quantum manipulation powers to split Izanami from Yin. Yin's soul goes back to her body and she lives. In exchange, Yion's existence becomes reality, as prophesie

| @CLanzion Bruv, thank you so much for this! I wasn't against the way it ended before reading your comment, as I was okay with the ending because it didn't seem open ended to me, considering the separate earth clone... But I didn't understand what actually happened with Hei and Yin until now. 🤓👍 Moving on... I wish there was more physical affection shown with July and Suou at the end rather than a passive waive. A simple hug would have really hit the spot for an ending... Oh well. I'm a sucker for sappy I know. It is what it is. 🌛 |

And so we finally reach the end point of this dumpster fire of a show! It was an average episode, they cramped way too much into one episode, everything felt rushed, the best part is that this episode was one of the better one of the entire season! But the damage was already done, and it was irreparable. Way too many ped0 innuendos & references, way too many tasteless "jokes" way too much infantile/imbecile setting/decisions and all around the mood of things.
The only good part of this episode is that we saw July's story having a happy ending. He was the only good thing during this entire season, and that says a lot of how horrible this show was done.
God bye Hei and company don't come back.

| @Dawizz 🖕 You have Noragami as one of your favorites (which I also love) and yet you complain about "ped0 innuendos" as you so erroneously put it. It's NOT real life, ergo it's LOLICON so get your shit straight. Pretty sure Noragami has more sexual jokes with minors than this show, bud. Let's cool it with the hypocritical nonsense. This show is not at all heavy with lolicon in the least bit, in fact it is hardly even an undertone. A couple innuendos and jokes does not make for "too many" - the show was overall very lite with sexual innuendo when compared to most others meant for mature audiences. Mountain out of a molehill much? This is wholesome, cute, nonsexual physical affection: https://i.postimg.cc/CKqzh4gK/Screenshot-20231112-211756.png https://i.postimg.cc/MHvkwdCP/Screenshot-20231110-201701.png Also, pink haired girl with the detective dude isn't a minor, in case you thought she was. |

| @CLanzion Thank you for this post now i understand,wish anime had at least 2 more episodes to explain all of this in a non rushed way. |
 |
| Currently watching the OVAs as of writing this, but I went back and was surprised that there were actually post-credit scenes for each episode. Now I feel bad because the whole experience would have been much different had I done so. |
