THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The past changing as they wish. The two travelling with Jin is what they see. When Jin leaving, he only brings Kaito. The key to "what is lacking" for Raetsel, which made them repeat that part. In the end, she's out, and Jikukawa as her teacher. Wow, Q-chan doing sport! Meeting puzzle solver (Kaito), and painter (Anna) who paint incomplete paints. As expected, it was Kaito, as usual, saving her while getting into that world.

Next ep. is final, w. Kaito's narration thanking Jin, and the title saying living is very fun.

Mottox2 w. Childhood girl and Mamo's character. Introducing the guy who designed the puzzles for the series and top 3 ranking of the puzzles in the anime. Completing the puzzle with the assigned graphs as practice puzzle. Looks like it's the final Mottox2?

Well, this is definitely an interesting puzzle they got their hands on here. Seeing their 'past' or whatnot.

The puzzle was okay I guess, more flashbacks. Next week's the finale but the title worries me a bit. I got a bad feeling about the final result of that puzzle.

Kaito X Raetsel should be canon.

Not something as i wanted to expect, but pretty ok. Very cheesy at first, but in the second half it was pretty nicely done (that wouldn't be a surprise if Junichi Sato is still in the staff). Hoping for warm and simple season finale then, not for something drastically different as i mentioned earlier in the last episode's topic, and well should i say series finale? I for example wouldn't want for this to drag on for another season, so i think it was planned as the complete ending.

Agreed.

Man that was a really good episode. I thoroughly enjoyed that. And I figured out what raetsel is missing. She's missing... a penis.

Hopefully, next ep is a series finale. The only way I would want them to make another season is if they forget about the drama and focus mainly on the puzzles. Although, since orpheus mentioned surpassing the gods there might be another season with the gods battling kaito and friends. However, if they were to do that I want to see good difficult puzzles. All the puzzles this season were shit, also at some point they just stopped explaining the rules and the focus shifted from solving the puzzle to just surviving the puzzle.

If they do end up making another season I would like to see a couple of things. First 2 - 3 minute exposition on the rules of the puzzle alone. Second if it is based on battling the gods then I would like to see each child of phibrain face at least one god, I don't want to see Kaito take them all on. Thirdly since the puzzles would be puzzler vs puzzler I would like to hear more of each puzzler's reasoning behind their moves and how they plan to trap their opponent or escape a dangerous situation, etc. And lastly 12 episodes; they could've easily done this season in 12 eps and I'm sure this show would be much better if they cut out all the crap that isn't necessary.

@Sol_Ou I'm glad you enjoyed the episode, but it's important to maintain a respectful and considerate tone when discussing a show or any topic. If you have feedback or thoughts about a series, it's perfectly fine to express them without using offensive language or making inappropriate comments. Your suggestions for improving the show and focusing on puzzles are valid, and many fans appreciate well-crafted puzzles and clear explanations. Hopefully, future episodes or seasons will address some of these concerns and provide a more satisfying experience for viewers. Veska Ignatova

@jasonmax idk if you joined MAL just to say that, I feel sorry for you this site is not worth it, but respectfully idgaf if you don't like how I phrase things. Twas 9 years ago when I was a young weeb and you're necro posting (not that it seems like MAL cares for that as this isn't archived). Only potentially vulgar things here that I can tell were the use of 'penis' and 'shit'. My comments are not directed to any individual person, if you don't find that respectful or this follow up comment report me. idc I only use MAL now to log, not comment too much. If I recall correctly, Penis was used because I was low key calling out the misogyny of the show since Jin, Rook, and Freecell were all better antagonists than Raetsel and she wasn't a good solver/puzzler even though she showed just as much potential and she had damsel in distress vibes near the end iirc. I use shit interchangeably with garbage; still do. Looking back I'm actually surprised this managed to get 3 seasons and given that I've tried to make puzzles (via dnd) since then I can tell it's harder than I thought so that may have been why the quality dipped after season 1. Shit's hard. If you just finished it I at least hope you enjoyed the anime. It has that dumb anime vibe that'll stay with you.
