Zetsuen no Tempest - ep21



Now things continue from where they left off last time with Aika catching Hakaze red-handed. It seems that Aika wants to continue their discussion but doesn't what to do it here on top of the roof. It seems that in this switch of locations Hakaze tells Aika about everything that has happen, since the viewers don't need to hear about it. Although it seems that Aika is merely annoyed that she is going to die in a couple of hours. This leads to the question on who could kill her especially since she is the mage of exodus, also now she knows where and when it will happen. It seem unlike that anyone could kill her, even if she didn't know when it would happen. This leads to only one conclusion is that she kill her self.

Then with this result Hakaze begins to question on why she would do this, but to Aika the reason is is obvious. That her death is ultimately the cause of everything, it is what leaded her to make contact with Mahiro. Then from through him connecting to Yoshino. Which would put Yoshino in a position to save her when Mahiro abandon her. Then from their her journey with Yoshino would lead her to question the tree of genesis, and ultimately lead her to the decision to destroy it. However it is throughout everything that has happened that things have come full circle. Then with this Hakaze realize that she is responsible for Aika's death. On the other hand Aika see thing differently that it is through her death that the two of them are saved.

Now that everything is revealed, it seems that the two princess are at odds with each other. Aika is intent on killing herself because it will set the world down the path it needs to follow, and in the process it will also save Yoshino and Mahiro. While Hakaze seems intent on preventing this because of the amount of suffering it caused Yoshino and Mahiro. It seems that neither of these princess care about the world, they just want to what they feel will save the ones that they love. However it is through this conflict that the true nature of both mages are revealed. That the Mage of Genesis magic is defensive to make the tree seem no threatening, but at the same time that means that the Mage of Genesis has no actual ability to harm the Mage of Exodus. While this doesn't hold the same for the Mage of Exodus since it is the weapon that is intended to destroy the tree of Genesis, and therefore Since the Mage of Genesis is empower by the very tree that they protect then Hakaze has no hope in being able to stop Aika from doing as she wishes.

In the end Hakaze did find out the answer to her question on who kill Aika, although in a way she didn't expect. Even after Aika knocks her out, Hakaze still has hope that she will be able to stop Aika. However in the end the past remains unchanged, but she leaves a letter for Yoshino and Mahiro. Although Aika has left instructions that they should only read them after the tree of Genesis is destroyed. Why does even matter when they read them, unless Aika found a way to cheat death in a similar way that Hakaze did on her island. I guess only time will tell, and with the mystery finally solve. There is only on thing left to do, and that is to defeat the tree of genesis. Although will things really be that simple.
