That was the dumbest thing I have ever seen. I'm not watching the rest of this and I'm not considering this episode to be part of the story. It's erased. Wolf's Rain is over. Seriously the dumbest crap I've ever seen. Lol she falls off a cliff and dies in 60 seconds. Lol soooo freakin dumb. Man the Japanese are just horrible at endings@

If they would leave the scene with Cher falling of, that would be perfect. Why did they have to put that dying scene?

Was it really necessary to kill off Cher? It was nice to see her and Hubb together. Her death ruined the mood off this episode.

Cher...died? Nononononononononononono *teary-eyed*.

They killed her.

Darcia's going to appear next episode...and I think Quent will die...

Wtf??? I totally didn't expect that...can't believe Cher died, she was such a great person too. Especially after how she and Hubb are finally together again. Maybe it's to signify that there really is no more hope in the world.

Maybe Hubb can start shining as his own individual character now! :D

Nah, this was the one episode where the majority of their "we used to be married" talk didn't aggravate me. Turns out it's the same episode Cher dies in, so that's kind of a shitty coincidence.

This show is ending far stronger than I was picturing, and I'm very glad for that. I'm finally seeing why people love this series like they do.

In reality, death is often stupid and unexpected. Cher's death made the series more realistic.
It's not a dumb character elimination tough, because her death was a result of this world desintegrating, so it had to the with the plot.

I don't get why Hubb is willing to move forward tough.He will probablyl say in another episode. Maybe it's because she wanted to go to Paradise, and so he wants to reach it as a way to honor her memory.

Man, this episode was cold.

My thoughts exactly. There's no way she would have been able to speak a few words after falling like, several hundred feet.

I think this is one of the most devastating deaths in all the anime I've seen.
This is my third time rewatching it this series, and it still hurts like the first time.
Hubb's raw emotions when she dies just tears me apart. Their relationship is the best part of the show besides Blue and Quent.

I agree with some people, even tho I'm really sad that she died, they shouldn't add scene after fall, it kinda doesn't make sense that she managed to survive, tho on the other hand, she and her hubby deserved closure, and it was really interesting to see his reaction.

God dammit... I was right. I said it would end up sad between them and it did. I don't know why I was expecting it to be Hubb though. But damn, hearing him cry there was just heartbreaking... that was one of the saddest scenes I've ever seen.

I knew someone had to die this episode though... the vibe was too strong

What... that's beyond pathetic. You actually didn't finish the series because of this. You'll never see my post since you don't get on anymore, but whatever... how is that dumb that she died "in 60 seconds"? First of all it definitely took longer than that, because it had to take them a while to get down there to begin with, and secondly it's more unusual that she wasn't killed instantly.

I get being upset that she died, but shit happens. I'm not happy about it either, but hell this makes me respect the series even more.

Well, I mean, that and he just talked to Cher about how he was all about moving forward no matter what, because there was nothing behind them. It's his way of suppressing his anger and sadness, as well as keeping his word to her. Like he said, he didn't know how long he could keep it up... but he would do what he can.

Amazing episode but i think Cher's death would have benefited more if she died instantly, their last worst kinda ruined it. Still Hubb's determination and that ending ost made up for it.

The last few episodes are going to be a rollercoaster.

That Darcia III should better off finding The Garden of Eternity in the desert rather than the fake paradise and leave the wolves alone.

This episode was the only reason I sought out this anime. As a child, I remember seeing Cher's death scene on TV and it stuck with me all these years and drove me to watch the series as an adult. Dang. So surreal to finally see how it played out. Hubb calling for her haunts me. </3

I feel like the reason they killed off Cher is to make Hubb's character sort of a parallel to Darcia. Although I agree she shouldn't have been able to speak after that fall.

It was so sudden. One second she was there, and the next she was gone. People keep asking why she had to die, but why did she have to live? People don't get to live just because dying would be sad. This episode was brutally true. Showing how death can come when you least expect it.

Part of me is thinking that this is how death really is and how falling off a cliff actually works.* Its not like all the other anime that always draw a death out to try and milk it for all the drama that it's worth. and they usually don't die in the end anyways.

*(except that she was somehow still alive after the fall. I guess it's possible. people have survived some long falls in real life and I'm glad they at least got to say a bit to each other before she died. heck, it may not have been that far a fall. The car still worked.)

But dammit, no matter how cliche it is, I really wanted a hand, (or wolf) to reach out and grab her at the last second. Or maybe Cheza to be able to heal her. Its so heartbreaking. The best anime usually hit the feels the hardest. I knew there would be feels in this anime, but there were no signs who or when someone would die. I couldn't prepare enough. I sorta had this sense that bad stuff was going to happen, but they seemed to be past the worst of it.

honestly same for me. I I watched this series and there always was something familiar about cher. When she suddenly died. It hit me. I saw that scene before when I was young. And itbdevesratednme just as much now as it did then

All the future plans they made together are gone now that CHER left HUBB.

Rest in Peace, CHER.

HUBB : I don't know how far I'll be able to go, but I'll make sure you get to where you're going, no matter what.

HUBB : I feel like I'm seeing the world clearly for the first time just as it's about to end.
CHEZA : It will not end. It is so that it can begin once again. So that it can be born once again.

Cher dying made some sense, or was based on a good idea. Its execution...not so much. The last conversation with her felt muddled and unsure of its own purpose.

LMAO, Cher managing to survive the fall initially and not end up all mangled and bloody was ridiculous. Also, the vehicle somehow still in good enough condition it seems, ah, bUt iT's rEiNfOrCed lmao...

This episode really foreshadows the world's end,
It was realy nice when all the characters met and went together until Cher's death :( , Hubb is a strong man to keep on after her death though.
So Darcia is gonna show up in the next episode, I believe all the humans will die before the wolves reach paradise.

Considering all they had been through, I believe Cher's death was completely unnecessary. Why did she not survive that, but the old man did? How tragic...
