Zetsuen no Tempest - ep20

Now it seems that we are finally getting to the bottom of the mystery surrounding Aika's death. It seems that Hakaze is going to use the cage of time that she was trap in to go back in time to a point before Aika died. The if she can get back to Japan before the time of her death Hakaze will be able to witness personally who kill Aika and why. Although after revealing her plans to reach a conclusion about this issue, Samon goes to talk with her in private about her real reason for doing this. It appears that Samon is correct in his assumption, that there is another motive behind going back in time. This leads Hakaze to explain that there is another possibility why they couldn't find her killer. That is if Aika was killed by her future-self, then that means that she hasn't killed her yet but she will. That means if Aika doesn't die by the appointed time, then that means that Hakaze will have to kill her.

Then as the final preparation are being made to send Hakaze back in time, Yoshino goes about asking Hakaze about if it would be possible to save Aika. Yoshino believe that this is possible since Hakaze technically came back from the dead so why couldn't the same happen for Aika. Hakaze explains that the circumstance are vary different, also it is just cruel to ask a woman that loves you to save your girlfriend. That she is going to the past to confirm the truth not to change it. However once she is in the past Samon informs everyone about the real reason behind this trip, it seems that Yoshino and Mahiro where already aware of the fact that it wasn't just about confirming the truth. It seems that Samon believe that either Yoshino or Hakaze is going to kill Aika. That to an extent it is possible that Yoshino has a split personality, and it was that personality that kill Aika. However this doesn't have much an effect on Mahiro since it would only change who he was going to kill. Although for Yoshino it is a bit troubling because there is a possibility that he kill the woman that he loved. In any cause it seems to an extent the battle-lines are drawn because if it turns out that Hakaze did it Yoshino will forgive her. Which means in either case Mahiro and Yoshino will be enemies only question is who will Mahiro kill.

Then back in the past Hakaze arrives in the town that the three of them lived, but there is only four hours before Aika dies so it won't be a long wait. Then just as Hakaze is think about the fact that she barely made it in time. Hakaze runs into Aika herself moments later, and when Aika confronts her about why she was staring at her Hakaze come up with some lame excuse before running off. That once she gets a fair distance away is she able to calm down, that it is only then she is able to relax. However this doesn't last long because Aika appears behind her. It seems that she taken note of some of the things that Hakaze has said, and how she is being referred to as Yoshino's girlfriend in the past-tense. That it is now that Aika declares that Hakaze is the Mage of Genesis, this leads to Hakaze hesntenly confirming this. Since this is the case it turns out that Aika feel it necessary to introduce herself as the Mage of Exodus. Then with this revealed they end it here, however this means that it is possible that Aika is capable of skiping time as well. This would mean it would be possible for her to be Yu, that would mean that she is Hanamure's ex-girlfriend. That she is the one that gave him the power of exodus, it is also possible that by dumping was to send him down his path. While she use her death to send Yoshino and Mahiro down theirs. If nothing else the meeting between Hakaze and Aika will be interesting, because there are number of ways that things can progress from here.
