Shakugan no Shana Season Three episode 24 FINAL EPISODE X___X

So….tired….must not pass out….

Watched this episode….3 days ago…trying to blog it…

Someone needs a nap too.

Spoilers for Shakugan no Shana Season Three episode 24. The spoilers being…WOOHOO it is over!

Oh hi. Didn't know you were still alive.

Episode Summary: After everyone is done being sad over dead Khamsin the jar in Kazumi’s hand actually turns into a baby. Kazumi then explains when she was in the dream with Pheles and Johan that this was the couple’s wish. That the way to live forever is to have a baby. Kazumi then hands Wilhelmina the baby and says ALL YOURS. Instead of freaking out Wilhelmina is shown being all touched at this lifelong commitment…I mean blessing. Rebecca shows up with the Castle in the Sky and it is full of Flame Hazes. They are all going to Xanadu to make sure the Denizens behave themselves and do not eat humans. Lamis the old dude appears out of nowhere, gives Yuji an important gift, and flies off to Xanadu himself. Anyone who has ever talked to Shana and Yuji during the series takes the time to say goodbye to Shana in a dramatic like way. Wilhelmina especially as she is going to leave Shana behind to give the Pheles and Johan baby a better life in CloneVille. Soon all that is left out of anyone important is Shana, Margery, Yuji, and Sydonay. Shana wants to know what Yuji wants to now. He starts mumbling something about Misaki City and he needs to bring back all the power o existence aka people that were destroyed by the Denizens. Something about Misaki City not being in Xanadu and he needs the torch of the girl Shana is impersonating. This all makes Shana mad. Super mad.

The most horrible thing EVER!

So Yuji decides to really piss Shana off by talking about how he is a horrible person and he did all of this to punish himself and blah blah. Margery and Sydonay fight with super powered up forms of themselves. Sydonay is eventually killed and reunited with Hecate, something he seems to have wanted all along. No one really cares when he dies. Shana and Yuji proceed to fight it out over issues that are hard to understand. Shana says shut up a lot so I guess that is all that matters. Finally Shana blasts Yuji pretty dang good. As she rescues him from going splat she is finally able to ask him what the hell he was thinking. Apparently Yuji just wanted to be cool enough to hang out with Shana. Oh and he wants to make humans and Denizens like and hang out with each other but the way he did it makes him look like a mass murderer. Shana says she loves him anyway and they share a kiss. They decide to go to Xanadu and make everyone be friends. Things are especially happy when they realize that Shana’s kiss has made Yuji something….real. Not a torch anymore woohoo! Everyone back on Only Human Earth seems happy…except for Kazumi who is like WTF you all left me losers! THE END!

It…is over. I have lasted the entire season. Of course my posts were getting more and more delayed as it pretty much forced to blog the last very episodes. And a lot of my posts have been negative….But I did it folks! Weee it is over. YAY FOR KISSES.

Of course according to many people on the internets it is just all my fault for not paying attention. Clearly people who did not enjoy this season were just not understanding what was going on. Something is wrong with all the people who did not like this season, especially if they liked seasons 1 and 2. Because this was clearly the better season, more true to the novels. I mean…it couldn’t be the fault of new/random characters thrown in our face without any explanation, two LONG dragged out battles, and the entire “war” almost being caused a lovers quarrel. No no folks apparently I was supposed to get things. In between long paragraphs of names/titles and fire blasts.

Psht kids don't need their parents. Leave them with random friends. Things will work out.

But since I didn’t enjoy things all that much and didn’t understand EVERYTHING…I will continue on with my “hater” post. So five seconds after Khamsin is laid to rest it is time for rejoicing. The jar Kazumi is carrying actually turns into a baby. Which is a good thing, it might be hard to raise a jar of sparkle dust. And I have to admit the kid is kinda cute (even if his name is a little unfortunate). So now Wilhelmina can stop crying right? She was sad that Pheles and Johan left her out of their super secret mission (AKA BABY MAKING) and she got rewarded with….raising a kid named Justus that isn’t hers. YAY! Best present ever. Note if anyone ever left me a baby like it was a great honor I would sell it on ebay. How much do babies go for these days?

So after Wilhelmina became a single momma…Rebecca and her non dead self (thanks for having Kazumi’s back) arrive with that Heavenly Palace floating in the sky….with tons of Flame Hazes. Silly me I thought 80 percent of them died in the Granny Panties battle! But I believe the number was around 1,200 Flame Hazes in that small piece of land. XO Good thing they all showed up after the battle was over.

So why are all these Flame Hazes there? Why to do go to Xanadu!!!! I don’t think I have said this before but Xanadu is an AWESOME word. Sometimes after the episodes air I randomly say Xanadu around the house. My cat thinks I am insane. It is just a fun, silly word to say. But yes folks. Our heroes have spent 3 seasons trying to kill the denizens and protect the world. So now that the Denizens are gone and the clone world’s humans are protected……all the Flame Hazes are going to go there with them.

Do you see my face? Of course you don’t. Imagine if you would the expression on your face if you saw a naked man running through a field of jello in your back yard. That probably sums up my face pretty well. A bit of WTF mixed in with are you serious and did that really just happen?

How about you leave them the hell alone?

I am not going to talk about Yuji and Shana’s reason for going to Xanadu. That I will go over later. I am talking about the Flame Hazes and what they said. They were going to keep an eye on the Denizens. …An eye on them? After about 15 AHA moments the rule of DO NOT EAT humans stuck. And it was going to be followed. IT WAS THE LAW OF THE WORLD! So what is with this following them deal? If I was the Denizens I would be like WTF haven’t you assholes killed us enough? We made a world TO GET AWAY FROM YOU and you follow us? That is just low. I would be pissed if I were the Denizens.

I'll miss you Shana. For 5 whole minutes.

Then came the dramatic goodbyes. All the boo hoos and I love you and we will never forget you. I actually did feel pretty bad for Shana and Wilhelmina…until the end of the episode. But in that moment I was like WTF why does the baby have to be raised there? It is part human part…creepy thing. So why does it automatically have to be raised in Xanadu? No reason but to separate Wilhelmina and Shana. That Wilhelmina has done all she can do and she has raised Shana well. It is time to let her little girl go and hope she can fly. All alone…for 5 minutes.

Time to bring out the big guns now that everyone is...gone.

So everyone is gone, the worlds are saved, and there is cute baby to cover up a few sad deaths. Everything should be great right? Wrong. It is time for Shana to fight Yuji. Margery has stayed behind to help Shana….or because she is banging a teenage human who probably can’t go to Xanadu. Sydonay has decided to stay with Yuki because he has grown fond of the silly little Torch. TIME TO FIGHT!

Guess I died. Bummer.

So what were they fighting for? For Sydonay he wasn’t exactly fighting. He was more making sure Shana and Yuji had their moment alone and Margery stood in the way of that. Sydonay was really trying to get himself killed so he could be with his Hecate. So while his ultimate form (where was that earlier?!) was interesting the battle was just bleh as I knew his heart wasn’t in it. Maybe Margery’s was but not his.

You could have been by my side this entire time stupid!

Shana was fighting because she was pissed off at Yuji for trying to taken on all the burden alone. That Yuji actually wanted Shana to kill him because otherwise he was going to spend forever without her as his own self inflicted punishment. I mean I would want to kick his ass if I was his almost maybe girlfriend. Like thanks for having all that faith in me. MAYBE if he had told Shana his plan she could have helped him and some lives could have been saved. But Shana was mostly mad because she is in love with Yuji so meh.

Things got weird here. But basically I think it was Shana misunderstanding Yuji's plan for Misaki.

Yuji is fighting for….I have no idea. I had a really hard time following what the heck was going on with the whole Misaki City crap. I really did. Something about the clone world was identical in every way but it didn’t have a Misaki City. Because Yuji wanted to bring back all the people who died because of the Denizens. Well more like got their existence taken away. So if a building got knocked over and fell on your head you stayed dead. But if you got your life sucked out you get to live YAY!

Why the hell is everyone trying to get the world they spent 2X episodes trying to destroy?!

But yeah I am not sure why it was so important to stress that the city was not in Clone World. Or why Shana was so pissed. Like if Yuji wanted to make the city AFTER he brought everyone back why was Shana so mad? Yuji wanted to bring back the girl Shana is pretending to be and it is the end of the world? How does this equal Yuji leaving Shana behind? Would that require Yuji to stay in the Human World while Shana wanted to go to the Clone World? I have no idea what was going on with this hot mess. Just that Yuji is amazing to have all this power still in him.

ALL IS FORGIVEN!

So after all that amazing…stuff and battle Shana finally manages to blast some sense into Yuji. That she loves him no matter how many innocent lives he cost and that she would have helped him always. Because she loves him. And it is time to kiss. AWW. Apparently this kiss makes the episode worth while or so I have read.

And then Shana and Yuji fly off to Xanadu. Not to make sure the Denizens behave but to make sure they all live together in harmony, shopping at the mall and going to the movies kinda togetherness. So apparently they are going to be the interspecies relationship models or something. I don’t know HOW you make people get along. I think it would be better if it was a natural process. I don’t know, it sounds weird. I guess maybe it makes sense because not too many things connect Yuji to the world now but it still sounds like WHELP it is too hard to live here lets go start over somewhere else.

Oh hi girl from episode 1! You can keep Kazumi company.

In conclusion since that last paragraph failed to make a point…this season was bleh. Things just went on for WAY too long. Two main battles with tons of new characters and no real reason for them to appear out of nowhere. Everything was a misunderstanding and Yuji was actually amazing this entire time. And the Flame Hazes decide that they can’t hack retirement and have to follow the invading force to their new lands. Overall I felt like it was a lot and yet not very much at the same time. The first two seasons were way more enjoyable to watch..I think. It was so long ago.

I wanted to love this season but I couldn’t. I tried. Some parts were enjoyable….like Shana wearing that cute dress! And seeing YujiSnakes amazing long hair. But I guess I am happy that other people were happy? XD

Shakugan no Shana Season Three episode 23: ALMOST DONE!

I was trying to think of something fun to say in my beginning paragraphs…but they all sounded silly. Tenchi loves buying groceries on sale? Tenchi’s family members drive her crazy? Tenchi’s congratulates herself on getting all her errands done today? XD Gosh I am so boring.

On a serious note someone close to me is going to need some prayers/kind thoughts this upcoming weekend. I don’t want to go into details but it could be a serious/lifetime issue, something no one wants to deal with. As much as this person drives me up a wall I love them and want them to be around for a long, long time. So just say a quick thought/prayer for my family this weekend. Let it be good/positive news.

Everyone is GASPING! Even this person who I don't know!

OKAY. I wasn’t really feeling Shakugan no Shana the last few weeks. Actually…I am still not. XD Just that I am running out of other shows to blog. Like oh no train wreck Black Rock Shooter to blog? Shana it is. And apparently it is over. X__X Got some catching up to do. Soon only Mirai Nikki will be left standing. Spoilers for the Grand Order ACTUALLY taking place, no lie. XD

So many words for I ROCK AND WIN!

Episode Summary: Everyone looks on as YujiSnake says it is FINALLY time to start the Grand Order. YujiSnake explains that everything (probably including the stupid machine) is just a hoax. A lie to make Margery and Shana change about the spell. Because the Grand Order is going to start from the Reiji Maigo inside Yuji. YujiSnake then explains exactly how the Reiji Maigo works. Apparently Dantalion figured out this a long time ago. The short version (or what I am pretending that I understood) is YujiSnake can suck up the power of existence from…a lot of people and use that to connect to everyone’s wishes? Not sure how that was any different from what Shana was thinking, about YujiSnake waiting until midnight to be refilled but okay. The point of all that nonsense is….Shana and Margery didn’t change anything. While all that nonsense was taking place Rofocale the traveling crazy person was used to help summon a god. Now it is time for Hecate to die and serve her role YAY!

Whose side are you on?!

On snap maybe not. Because Shana and company had a plan B….C……M! They summoned their own god…the god of something cooler than YujiSnake. Everyone is smirking that this god is going to put YujiSnake in his place. Only SHE DOESN’T! She instead tells the Denizens to go forth into their new land and have a party. She then talks about how Johan and Pheles have taken a new form so they can bring a new life into this world. Alastor is like PSHT last time a Denizen and Human tried to make a baby we took that abomination out. Well surprise this time in worked. The…thing is crowned the inheritor of both the lands and tells everyone to accept it. The Flame Hazes are too pissed at the fact that Ms. God didn’t mention anything about the whole DO NOT EAT HUMANS thing. So YujiSnake tells all his Denizens to make their wish (as YujiSnake can’t do anything alone, he can only fulfill the wishes of others) and concentrate on sending blue pixie dust his way. So everyone sparkles and no Flame Hazes interrupt this magical moment because that would be rude. YujiSnake thanks Hecate for her service as she FINALLY dies. It was a magical moment. But then it is GASP time. Turns out that the rule of not eating humans has been reinstated…by the Denizens. Apparently all the ass whipping that happened in the last 4839437 episodes worked and now they are afraid one day Flame Hazes will rise up in the new world. So new rule it is. Bel Peol is like YujiSnake why did you do that?! He says that everyone looked sad so he had to do what they wanted.

The kid was cute. Useless but cute.

YujiSnake calls forth Ribesal and tells him to lead everyone to the new world. With his little buddy Pirsoyn they turn into little pieces of sparkle and go into the cage tunnel to the new world. Once everyone sees that the lesser Denizens travel worth into sparkle land. YujiSnake calls worth the more important Denizens and tells them goodbye, that they did a good job. One by one they poof until it is only Bel Peol and Sydonay are left. Bel Peol takes out Mr. Snake from Yuji. Mr. Snake tells Yuji he has grown fond of him and hopes all his wishes come true. Bel Peol is impressed that Yuji hasn’t asked for help even though he is going to go up against Shana. She gives him a key to the stupid tower or something and they start their decent to the sparkle bath. Sydonay has been so touched by Yuji he stays behind to help him. Mr. Snake announces to all the Flame Hazes that their battles were not in vain and the rule DO NOT EAT HUMANS was created. The Scooby Van decides that going to the new world will be better since the humans will not be eaten. All the Flame Hazes are pretty sad as Khamsin is on the ground dying. Kazumi seems to think the news that Pheles and Johan made a baby should save Khamsin. It will not. Khamsin seems to be okay with dying as everything turned out okay. A few goodbyes are said and he dissolves into pixie dust. THE END!

Okay. So when I blog episodes I usually write my thoughts about the episode out first, then my little opener, and then I do the summary. The summary usually takes long and I have to make sure I get these accurate as my mind gets fuzzy in the hours after I saw the episode. Plus it is more fun to type out MOG THIS WAS AMAZING or rant about the show.

But this time….just no. I was like meh might as well write the summary from memory. I try to put a little personality into the summaries but I try to stay true to what happened and save the fun for later. But I am just not seeing the fun in this series. It is more like OKAY the end is almost here let’s get over this. I guess I just remember how exciting this series used to be and I am blogging it out of obligation. There are only a few episodes left after all right? Dude…this is such a downer way to begin this post isn’t it? BLEH. Sorry about that.

Just so lovely.

ON TO THE SHOW! So amazing folks…if only because GRAND ORDER actually happened. It took like 12904 years and I thought it was never going to happen. Like someone was going to come in and destroy everyone. The viewers would clap in relief and life would move on. But yes. Grand Order. YukiSnake finally delivered. Good thing he is not Dominos or it would be free. XD

I almost didn't watch this episode because of this sentence.

However…..there was another AHA moment. It has been a constant BUT wait my plan is better than yours. It turns out that big piece of machinery that is taking up half the city. Doesn’t matter. YujiSnake and the Reiji Maigo are going to bring about the new world. And it makes sense. There has to be a reason why Yuji was picked by Mr. Snake to do this all. And a super spell should not come from a machine. It should come from the person casting it. But…there have been so many AHA moments with this damn spell I was more like oh okay so how is this going to fail.

I don’t think I did a good job explaining the Reijo Maigo part in terms of the Grand Order. Mainly because it was a lot of talking and it felt like nothing was getting said. Just know that it appeared YujiSnake sucked up a lot of people to do this spell and no one cared. Maybe he just sucked a little of their power o existence. But the Flame Hazes just went…meh. That is all they did for 20 minutes…meh. But yeah folks YujiSnake did something amazing and that is all I know.

The most powerful being in the series and I don't know who you are!

I am not sure who this Ms. God was. Apparently she is a big deal. And the Flame Haze’s last hope. You would think that MAYBE if Ms. God was that important she would have been mentioned a bit more. But I have no idea who summoned her or why she is a big deal. And that is what this season of Shana has suffered from all along. Not introducing concepts or characters very well. We are just given names after names and titles and no real story to who these people are and what they can do. All I know is Ms. God was a big deal.

We shall name it Fred. Or Sally. Do jars of energy have genders?

And she didn’t even do what the Flame Hazes wanted her to do. XD Like is this show for real? Maybe that is what I find so entertaining…Instead she announces that Johan and Pheles have done something amazing. SUPER AMAZING. They made a baby without having sex. Something that can’t happen as one is a Denizen and one is a human. Now….I am pretty sure them doing this has NOTHING to do with the Grand Order. So all this song and dance Pheles did with Kazumi seems to only have benefited Pheles. Okay it did temporarily stopped YujiSnake but in the end it seems to have helped Pheles and Johan. Make a baby. Good thing Kazumi didn’t die because of this.

Lets blow both worlds up and call it a day!

Not that ANYONE cares. Seriously it was like Ms. God spoke and no one cared. Lala oh what a life that isn’t possible and he/she is the first of his kind? Psht we are more upset Ms. God wasn’t on our side even though she was the secret weapon!

Fear not folks. Because there is one last AHA moment. Turns out that the Denizens actually want to live. And after all this fighting and dying and what not they decide that it is not worth it to go to paradise and have a human buffet if one day Flame Hazes will rise up again and kill them. So nothing Shana and YujiSnake really did mattered. Well I guess in one sense it DID but not in the way they expected. Shana could have just gone down there and kicked their asses and it would have been the same result. All the planning and schemes…just hahahaha…no.

After all that nonsense YujiSnake finally creates the walkway to paradise Denizens start leaving and say their goodbyes. I guess this was supposed to be a magical moment but I barely know half of these characters. But I guess in the end they were just creatures trying to survive and we were their food. Some of them were a little cruel about it but in the end we were just delicious juicy tacos living in a pretty sweet world.

Maybe in another life...I would be your boy.....

Mr. Snake and Yuji…they have bonded folks. It is like they are brothers now. Actually everyone admires Yuji. I guess it is easy to be on Yuji’s side WHEN YOU KNOW HIS PLAN! Still I guess Mr. Snake thinks he and Yuji are similar. Both are trying to help other people when basically they are powerless to help themselves. I would have thought Yuji was going to be pushing for this DO NOT EAT HUMANS rules but…I guess that might not have gone over well. Still…so sad right?

Poor little kid who is actually 10,000 years old.

At the end of the episode Khamsin dies. I thought he was already toast but he couldn’t just die in the midst of battle. How else could people be dramatic? No no everyone needed to come and feel bad for him. He did look pretty messed up though. Khamsin was actually a pretty cool dude so while I am being sarcastic about his death it is pretty sad. He was rather powerful and important while Rebecca just blew a few people up. But I am glad that he got a proper send off instead of being left in the dust. Rest in peace Khamsin.

MOG why are they still fighting?!

Next episode…Yuji and Shana are going to face off. FOR WHAT REASON?! Almost all the Denizens are gone (will the gods be leaving next?), the world seems saved, and the next world will be okay for humans. SO WHY ARE THEY FIGHTING?! Wai you didn’t tell me what your plan was WAI! So next episode…..domestic issues in the form of fire balls. Also…A BABY! Peace out. XD

Shakugan no Shana Season Three episode 22: Too tired to sing the song...

There are many reasons to watch anime. Sometimes because people recommend shows to you. Other times the art appeals to you so you give it a chance. Maybe the story sounds interesting and unique. Or maybe one day you are just bored and you pick a show at random.

So while there are many reasons to start watching a show there are just as many reasons to keep on watching a show. One might relate the characters in a special way. The show makes you feel better after a hard day’s work. The music is really captivating and moving. Or the show sucks so bad you can’t wait to see how the train wreck ends.

OH SNAP! Where is the bus?!

Just guess where Shakugan no Shana Season 3 episode 22 ranks? Exactly. Spoilers for…I don’t know. Stuff.

Wilhelmina would never overreact to this folks. Never!

Episode Summary: YujiSnake looks pretty sad that maybe Kazumi blew up in the Scooby Van. He thought she would be safe in this battlefield. Oppies. Well it turns out the Van is okay folks. It was just a fake. The actually…van person can make illusions and that is what blew up. Khamsin did some magical spell that helped transport the group but he was pretty injured in the process. Khamsin says something that is basically GOODBYE to Kazumi and goes off to fight the countless robot bombs in the area. The Scooby Boat and Kazumi try to make it inside the large YujiSnake structure but it is baddie central. Shana notices that something is going down in the water and tells Wilhelmina to go and help. Or to just kill more Denizens while she and Margery fight in the sky. Wilhelmina goes to help Khamsin but has a whine attack while doing so. Even her Crimson Lord starts going WOE IS US! During all of this Kazumi reveals that the thing is holding is the Phrase that everyone keeps mumbling about despite NO ONE KNOWING WHAT IT WAS BEFORE! Behold the Engaged Link! Or the jar Pheles and Johan are now hiding in. Oh of course. Unless the Engaged Link is something else X__X. So before the Scooby Boat and Kazumi can get blown up Wilhelmina and her crybaby self save everyone. The Scooby Van makes it inside the large YujiSnake structure. One of the people turn off some random controls so they can hide and let everyone do all the hard work. Oh and there is no Rebecca because…there is no Rebecca. Who knows.

Err is this goodbye?

On to other important people…. Chiara and Sale! Yes they are still flying around and destroying tons of robot bombs. Only Sale gets knocked off the power dragon and decides that show needs to be a comedy. After he dances around and nearly gets blown to pieces Chiara tries to save him. Oh but what is this!? A human looking Denizen wants to be important and fight Sale. So he does…for 5 whole seconds. Then he is cut in half. Seriously he battled that long. The little kid Denizen tries to save the top half of the long haired Denizen…..not sure how but he tried. Long hair Denizen is like no bro I am going out like a gangsta. He sucks up some of the robot bombs and KABOOMS all over the place. He doesn’t succeed in hurting Chiara or Sale but Khamsin either dies or is down for the count. Sale and Chiara the amazing dragon riding girl manage to blow up Dantalion’s control center and since the Scooby Boat disabled his escape route he might have died. We don’t know. I think more stuff happened but I am blogging this a day later. But YujiSnake goes HAHA to Shana, saying he is able to undo her HAHA moment on his spell. Then Margery goes HAHAHAHA and explains that while everyone was fighting pointless battles she had snuck inside the building and input the real version of the spell and now it can’t be undone. Enter shocked faces here! THE END! And hopefully this is accurate…enough.

I am not sure I know what Shana is talking about.

While I don’t think this show is as bad as Guilty Crown I am way more disappointed in this disaster than GC. I was expecting more from this show. I think a lot of fans were expecting more. Guilty Crown was just expected to succeed and when it became obvious that wasn’t going to happen…well it almost became comical. With Shana there was precedent of a strong series with interesting battles and characters. Season Three has shown us that maybe series should end on a high note and not push the envelope.

Maybe you could just die now?

But since I have been saying that for weeks…I guess everyone already knows that. And feels it too. So let’s not waste any more time stating the obvious. XD On to the snark right? Also poor Guilty Crown. Can’t catch a break even on someone else’s blog post. XD

Oh I see now....This battle will never end.

My favorite part of this show is how anyone can pull a spell out of their butt and it makes sense. Of course shows like Sailor Moon can get old after a while with their two basic attacks. One would think the baddies would learn over time what works and what doesn’t. But with show the opposite extreme is taken. Oh snap 32923 robots are going to blow up the van. Well one person can make illusions, one person can use his chalk thing to do a new attack, and one person can turn into….err…a shadow? and swim through steel building so we can have a hiding spot.

We don't need names! Look how important we are, accidentally saving the day.

Maybe if I had ANY clue on who the Scooby Van gang was I would be like OH your powers do make sense. But since Pheles went and picked them up (that WAS them right?) what have we learned about them? That the monstery looking member can turn into a van/boat and the other one can denigrate into nothing? I don’t even know their names. They have been said but I have too many other names in my head to properly remember anything. But yeah I don’t know what they are here for, how Pheles knows them, and why they were brought in at the 11th hour to save the world. If someone is really important to your plan to save the world I would think you would tell them/ask them for help ahead of time, not 5 minutes before they are needed. But as I stated before character development is for losers.

Still jealous Wilhelmina?

Oh and in case you missed it Pheles is no longer functioning in a human body. She and Johan are now in a jar. And the jar even has a name folks! It is amazing how Kazumi just got the silly jar but everyone is already calling it by its proper name. I am sure it has two names though. Maybe three. And that this will temporarily stop YujiSnake. But for now I am not seeing what the jar’s point is. Or why Kazumi was there to begin with. If Kazumi was supposed to put the city back together after all this LAST ORDER business than letting her escape YujiSnake would be a bad idea.

This is a comedy now?

Am I okay?! DO I LOOK OKAY?! I am cut in half fool!

Ah Chiara and Sale. Two Flame Hazes that we also know nothing about. They are still flying around killing robots and what not. There was some Denizen that LOOKED important last week cackling in their general direction but that was all a lie folks. He lasted about one whole minute and even Sale’s Crimson Lord commented how stupid it was for that Denizen to die so quickly. Now I am not sure how much credit Chiara and Sale can accept in “destroying” Dantalion as it was really the Scooby gang disarming Dantalion’s escape on accident. More like OH LOOK cute girl on a flying dragon thing is going on here.

Good job talking her off the ledge.

I thought Wilhelmina was going to have another breakdown this week. Like what the hell is this girl’s problem? She has been a Flame Haze for quite a while and trained Shana. So why is she falling apart anytime someone looks at her? Clearly Shana needed Margery as her wingman so they could go HAHA when their trick was revealed. Otherwise I would be questioning why Wilhelmina had to go rescue Khamsin. But I would be questioning it, not Wilhelmina. Because this is a damn battle. So take your now chatty Crimson Lord and go protect people. WHY IS THIS SO HARD?!

Stupid Rebecca.

Now maybe I am slow…but where is Rebecca? I see Khamsin taking a lot of damage and doing some work…and I don’t see Rebecca. She was on the van right? Well now she is gone. Convenient. So Khamsin can get injured and maybe die. I say maybe because no one can be certain in this long ass battle who is dead and who isn’t. But given how sad his speech was with Kazumi I am thinking home slice is not going to make it. Sounds like a goodbye speech to me.

Probably because you are dying? Not the spell being changed but the fact that you are going SPLAT?!

I love love LOVE how pointless some of this battle has been. Shana and her dramatic HAHA I am changing your Grand Order spell was an interesting show and meant to demoralize YujiSnake. Only YujiSnake has planned for this, a random ice storm, past girlfriends, and the Black Plague. And then it is revealed that Margery actually had already implanted the spell inside the machine long before Shana’s song and pony shell rendering everything useless. THIS IS SO AMAZING!

If I spent that many years planning something important I would lock the back door and hire 4239567 guards.

No but really folks. There are about 21938273897 Denizens outside politely taking their turn to die because they are too ugly to live. If YujiSnake’s amazing spell could have been tampered with why wasn’t someone guarding the controls. Yes the CONTROLS to a magic spell but still. Why was Margery able to dance on in and mess with the most important spell in the history of Denizens? HMM YujiSnake!

Oh yes. Kazumi had a baby too.

Did I miss anything? Actually I have probably gone on way too long for such a special show. YujiSnake probably has a Plan G up his sleeves and Shana will be like oh yeah well actually I’m not even Shana because Shana is really rescuing Hecate to stop the spell. So much ridiculousness so little time. Maybe I will watch The River to wash it all down with. XD

Shakugan no Shana Season Three episode 21: IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS!

Mirai Nikki…is not new this week? :( Why must I suffer? Do they not know what I have been through recently? I am so overdramatic. But yes my neighbors are being crack heads over PARKING SPOTS and I want to watch Yuno slash some people up. Ah to have Yuno on my side….the world would be in so much trouble. XD

In other news the SNL skit that makes fun of the Disney Princess and The Real Housewives is hilarious. Go watch it now. Ignore the child actress and her sad attempt at a comeback. It is so funny.

Ah yes. Thank you for potentially dying so we could be together. For 5 minutes.

Now it is time for more anime. And zombies. And eating ice cream. And spying on the neighbors every time I hear a noise. And eating Oreos. I am a busy girl! Shakugan no Shana Season Three episode 21 or 543096. I lose track. XD Enjoy.

We couldn't say this 5 episodes ago though!

Episode Summary: The last few minutes of the previous episode are shown again. And now it is revealed exactly what Shana did. She did not destroy the Hecate energy but merely stopped the spell. She has done so she can rewrite the entire thing and make a new rule. NO EATING PEOPLE! This shocks everyone in the entire battlefield. Well and people were concerned about Hecate who apparently is still alive in the spell. Shana is like haha you thought I was trying to stop your spell? No no I was really just going to make this rule as my duty as a Flame Haze extends to other worlds too. Then there is the most boringest minutes of anime ever. Each and every God of Earth has to talk to a semi important Denizen of Crazyland and explain why they are still fighting despite this new rule being implemented. While every answer is slightly different the basic idea is that they want to scare the Denizens into never eating a human again and to show future generations that they mean business. Oh and they need to be punished.

Anime girls like to apologize when people force them to do things and things go the exact way the forcer wants them to. Easy to understand?

After all that boringness it is time to see what is going on in the Scooby Van. Kazumi is stuck in a dream with Johan and Pheles (who is sleeping in her dream…). There Johan thanks Kazumi for helping and Kazumi decides to be a typical anime character and apologize for things that are not her fault. Even Kazumi finds her special. But anyway Johan talks about how he is going to disappear but they want to try and do something before that happens. It is very vague and all. It sounds like he is talking about Wilhemina. In any event he wants Kazumi to keep all that he has said a secret despite the fact everyone knows it all? In between this conversation Chiara and Sale are fighting Dantalion. Well really they are fighting his robot army. Sale keeps referring to Dantalion as Dad. Other Denizens appear to defend Dantalion but it seems that might be unnecessary as he has tons of weapons himself. Pheles starts to wake up and Johan talks about how this is their special spot. Kazumi wakes up in the Scooby Van. It is unclear what the van was trying to do but due to attacks they are headed back towards the Tower of Doom. Yeah bad stuff. Much to Shana and YujiSnake’s horror the van flies into the air and is destroyed by Denizens. THE END! Oh but spoiler alert Kazumi is shown to be in one piece next week.

So how was that? Amazing? Yeah I didn’t think so.

Usually I hate it when they replay the last few minutes of the previous episode in the new one. Very lazy if you ask me. I suppose it is to remind the viewers what happened 7 whole days ago. I guess it is possible to forget because there are tons of anime shows to watch and sleep and work to do. But also in this case it was necessary to replay the scene so they could “change’ what happened. Everyone was like OH SNAP Shana destroyed the Grand Order. Only not.

Also NO NEW TAXES!

See Shana is so amazing…or other people are so amazing…SOMEONE was amazing enough to rewrite a spell that it took YujiSnake and Hecate hundreds of years to create. Surely it is as simply firing whatever that old dude gave Shana into the Hecate orb and saying the words DO NOT EAT HUMANS. Ah yes YujiSnake would not have made plans for countless years to make sure something so simple would stop his plans. No no folks. It is almost like someone threw a banana peel at YujiSnake.

Or not. All of this song and dance is for what? So Shana can be a brat and purposely be vague with what she was trying to do? Yeah that is fun to watch. Instead of putting all these people in danger why didn’t Shana just tell YujiSnake what she had planned. Like okay fine leave but we are protecting the clone humans too. Because if we don’t we will all melt with our Flame Haze duties.

Um yes. Flame Hazes often die fighting the Denizens. It is sorta in their job description.

But maybe Shana couldn’t say that to YujiSnake because part two of her plan was…PUNISHMENT! Something that took like half of the show to explain and something I thought was super obvious. Really Denizens of Eating People? You don’t know why everyone won’t let you go on your merry way after eating people for countless of centuries? It is a complete mystery to you? Yeah….so special.

Now was it smart to do this? I don’t know. Maybe if Shana just did her thing and change the spell would be the safer thing to do. Safer for all the other Flame Hazes anyway. But to do that they needed to draw the other Denizens away from what Shana was doing. And really when it comes down to it I support the idea of revenge. While the lines of good and evil are blurred when it comes down to it…I am on Team Human. Obviously. Yes we as humans eat animals and do horrible things to one another. But the Denizens left their world to destroy the balance of ours by eating us and we are both intelligent beings. I don’t know if this is making sense but when intelligent beings attack other intelligent beings, even if it is out of necessity, I am going to be on the side of the person who was invaded and was there first.

I like your thinking. And hat.

So yes revenge. XD I am not sure why this was so shocking. All they were doing was eating us gosh. But yes set an example for generations to come in case Shana’s spell doesn’t work. But what will the Denizens be eating then? This is all very interesting. One would think with all the talking going on we would have more of an answer.

Because....you haven't become involved yet? What exactly are you talking about?

The conversation between Kazumi and Johan was weird. I guess that is the best way to describe it. I felt as if a lot of words were said but nothing was being conveyed to the audience. Maybe that is because nothing much happened or it hasn’t happened yet. Maybe there is more to Johan and Pheles’ plan but so far all I see is Pheles getting her wish to spend a few moments with Johan. Kazumi wanted to save Shana and Yuji. Maybe I am missing something to this situation but it seems to be a whole lot to do about nothing.

Too bad the van didn't crash into YujiSnake's structure. Two birds with one stone yes?

And then the van drove back to the battle. Was this due to a spell or what they were supposed to do all along? In any event POOF KAZUMI.

We are important because we said so DUH!

Oh I forgot to talk about Dantalion’s battle with Chiara and Sale. I tend to block out scenes with Dantalion because his voice annoys me that much. I think if I was more familiar with Chiara and Sale I would be more invested in their storylines. But they came in at the tail end of the Granny Panties Failure Battle and now they have become “main characters” without any real background. It just feels forced to me. I wish I could know these characters more but at this point I won’t. To me they are just running around blowing things up. Sad really. :(

Well that was anticlimactic.

Or not. Yay for spoilers in the previews.
