So I guess I should be happy that I can finally finish up the 2010 anime season and it is only January 3rd. Go me, trying to start the new year off right!
Oh and spoilers for Yakumo being nice.
So here is the last “fabulous” episode of Psychic Detective Yakumo. Spoilers for smiles and happy times.
Oh crap THIS is what you trying to do this whole time?!
Episode Summary: After the dramatic events of last week Gotou ends up getting shot. Yakumo is all like RARW and Daddy finally reveals his evil plan. Now that Yakumo has embraced hatred he is just like his Daddy. Since they share blood and the same feelings Daddy can take over his body. Ms Misfit laughs and explains things further as Yakumo’s body is all twitchy and undergoing the possession process. Ms. Misfit declares that she is going to kill everyone but Haruka first because she hates her. Yakumo smiles an evil Daddy smile and Ms. Misfit is like DARLING! She runs to Yakumo’s body and surprise it is still Yakumo. He is just wearing his Uncle’s contact lens. Haruka is so happy to see him and they share a heartful…glance.
Err....that is special...
Ms. Misfit starts to lose her mind and Yakumo explains to her and Daddy that while he is super pissed in life he won’t become like him. He tells the doctor while he still hates him he will save the daughter’s life and will consent to the organ transplant. Yakumo tells Daddy to never appear before him again. Daddy is like HAHA I am a ghost I can do whatever I want and off he goes. Yakumo tries to tell Ms. Misfit she was a tool the entire time but she already knew that. In her tears she runs off into the night and eventually drives into a lake. Yakumo passes out and Gotou has successful surgery for his gunshot. Uncle’s organs are transplanted into the little girl. All the characters attend Uncle’s funeral and the doctor is taken to jail. There is a little bit of time taken to show how the characters are moving on with their lives, with Gotou actually making time for his family. Yakumo pretends to be annoyed with Haruka when she asks for help in regards to ghost matters. But in the end Yakumo is able to say goodbye to his Uncle and share a tearfull moment with Haruka. THE END!
Well hallelujah! Things actually made sense now! Too bad we had to wait 13 whole episodes to get to that point. But given the fact that some animes end in a spectacular blaze of fail I guess I should be grateful or something.
Not looking so hot there Daddy.
So the reason why Daddy was trying to make Yakumo’s life horrible was because he wanted to take over his body. I probably should have sensed it or something. Maybe it was obvious and I was in lala land or something.
But no matter what Daddy is a creepier asshole who has been planning this out for over 20 years. Because I am sure he kidnapped Mommy to get her pregnant on purpose because he was dying. Like he was going to have a short life and mapped out a long and complicated plan to get a new body. That sounds pretty genius but on the pyscho level.
Poor Yakumo couldn't take that much.
Which I still don’t agree with. Like everyone has hatred and despair inside them. People experience tragedies all the time in their lives and often they blame people (whether or not they deserve it). They have rage. They throw trantrums and have destructive behavior. But then they move on to grief, denial, and finally moving on. The hatred might stick around for a while but it will one day be overcome by other emotions.
See YOU are the evil one.
So whether or not Yakumo ever stopped hating the doctor or Daddy it doesn’t matter to me. Because if someone murdered all my living family members and got my cop “friend” shot I probably would be pissed forever. But that doesn’t make me a bad person for being angry. It might not be healthy for me but I shouldn’t be branded just as bad as the person shooting others.
So shocking he was the one who was shot.
Oh and yes Gotou got shot. But he lived because now he loves his wife and his new daughter. So it ended on a very dramatic note last week but tis a flesh wound folks.
No one likes you hahaha!
Ms. Misfit dying/driving into a lake wasn’t surprising either. Kinda creepy that she was in love with an old dude since she was like 10 but you know….she probably wasn’t playing with a full deck. But I am not going to start feeling bad for her because Daddy only cared about Yakumo and not her. She knew what she was getting to when this all started. Plus I think it is creepy that she was basically torturing this young kid all his life so one day she could have sex with him.
Good. He deserves to be hated.
But in the end Yakumo was able to donate his Uncle’s organs. I am glad that he said he still hated that asshole doctor but haha Daddy. See. You can have “hatred” in your heart and be a normal human being. But you look like kinda creepy melting away.
And such a happy family they will be.
And since this was the last episode of a series where no one died except dying Uncle we got to see how happy everyone was after the fact. I think I wanted to see a sadder Nao but at least she is talking now. Everyone is working, moving on with their lives and I guess they are better for the experience. Cheesy? Yeah. But the best time to work on a dead body is in the spring ya’ll.
Spring is for love!!!!
Haruka and Yakumo aren’t really official are they? She was holding him and making sure he didn’t go to the dark side. But they still treat each other the same way. She asks Yakumo for favors, he pretends to hate her, and life moves on. But maybe there is less pretending and eye rolling now. Besides Yakumo just jumping into her arms and declaring his love for her would have been creepy.
Even Yakumo needs a hug sometimes...
I do like that the series ending with Yakumo saying goodbye to his Uncle and crying. Because during this all Yakumo didn’t have a time to properly deal with his pain. Maybe it was a mixture of happy tears and sad tears. But since he did it in front of Haruka that surely is important. He is still a little of an asshole but now he has someone special and he will be just fine.
Overall though…I wasn’t really impressed with this series. I thought it was going to more focus on other dead people and mysteries and what not. This show ended up being more about Yakumo’s crazy ass dad than actual ghosts and haunting and what not. So I am disappointed that I was delivered what was promise. And to be honest things were a little boring at times.
But it is time to move on into a new anime series. Perhaps I shouldn’t hang so many hopes into synopsis’s as they can be deceiving at times.
