Amagi Brilliant Park - ep11


Now we enter into the first stages of the finale, and it turns out they end up faking us out a bit. How this is done is that we are leaded to believe that the soccer game is the their saving grace but in a way it is because as thing are now they won't reach their magic number. This game will help them get the last 50,000 that they need but not yet a done deal because of the negotiations. This leads to the negotiations on behalf of the park but Kanie doesn't lead them because they will not respect the fact that some that is still in high school is in charge. That is why he has Toriken lead the negotiations but he probably just wanted to see him sweet. Kanie only steps in when things are going poorly and he is force to use his magic to learn about what they are most concerned with and as expect it turns out to be money. This leads him to offer things for free again to make sure they agree but also make sure they agree to his only condition where the guest must come in through the park entrance. Which they readily agree to since it is such a minor issue.


This leads to a lightening of the mood when they go to fix up the stadium for the game. Although Tiramie does fix the field he also creates a bit of chaos through summoning some demonic flowers in the process. However it turns out that Kanie is prepared for this they only real concern is if the evil flower will reappear during the game itself. Despite the little bit of chaos they are ready for inspection to get the finale approval by the soccer officials. Then as the last days are upon them we get to the true saving grace of the park since he announces selling of the southern portion of the park. Since if they are going to survive after reaching the magic number of visitors, they will need to find a way to recover their losses after all the price slashing that they have done. This leads to the final day where Latifa will losses her memories and the fate of the park will be decide and thing end on a bit of a sour note since he is about 250 shorty of the 500,000 goal but he still has a couple hours left. The question remains is how will he get the last few visitors that he needs.

Hitsugi no Chaika Avenging Battle - ep10


Now the final episode begins with everyone taking one side or the other during this raising conflict that Gaz has created. First it doesn't take Shin long to become aline with Gaz through black Chaika requesting his service. That during all this Toru retreats with Chaika and it is at this moment that Toru finally accepts Fredrica's offer. It seems that he reject it all this time because of his desire to remain as a saboteur however through discarding this plan he can now act as he pleases instead following Chaika's order. That in doing this he can purse Gaz for hurting Chaika and deal with Shin for his betray. Although he only takes Chaika part way until he goes the rest of the way himself.

That in the end no magical attack is able to breach Gaz's flying fortress. That it is only through Gaz's arrogance that Toru is able to get inside this what leads to the rematch between Shin and Toru. Although this time around thing go in Toru's favor since it no-longer matter what injury he receives since they heal instantly. That it is through using this he is able to effortlessly defeat Shin and it seem Shin's goal was to have Toru take the proper path since he felt Toru was too straight forward to be a saboteur. That the path of the warrior suits him much better.


This allow him to reach Gaz but this fight is just as one side as Toru's against Shin although this it is Gaz that has the overwhelming advantage. This is show in the first few second of the fight after Toru reject Gaz's offer to work for him. This leads him to take Fredrica out of the fight, and then proccessed to play with Toru until he pins him down to the ground. Then as he is dealing the final blow Toru is protected by Chaika firing her last shot that shields him from Gaz's magic and sends him to safety. Then with the awareness of the new threat he goes to elimate it with Niva, however since the target is Chaika it leads to Niva betraying him and returning to her original master. That it is through Niva that Chaika's wish to give Gaz a funeral is granted. Although to do this she is force to use her memories as fuel but it is alluded to the fact that it cost her potential all of her memories with Toru. Things end with events focusing on what happens in the aftermath of Gaz's death with everyone returning to a quite life, but it would have been nice if they dedicated a whole another episode to the epilogue.

Trinity Seven - ep10


The first half of the episode focus on Arata's new transformation and how it has changed him. Although it does help in neutralizing the threat that Ilia poses by freeing Sora and taking control of this world that they are trap in. However they have a greater problem with turning Arata back, which turn out to be simple with Mira rejecting this new Arata. That through this action Sora is given the opening she needs to return Arata to who he once was. Now that Arata's back he effortlessly forgives Ilia for all that she has done, and wants to thank her for all that she has done for him in the past since she took care of him when Hijiri couldn't.

That cause him to request her help in freeing them of this world but as things turn out there is nothing she can do now since Arata usurped her control when he transformed. Although Arata doesn't have skill to bring them back so instead he set out to destroy the black sun he create that with it destruction it will destroy this world and return them to the true Acadmey. In this Arata does most of the heavy lifting with him combining Akio and Lilith's branch of magic, while Ilia stabilizes his magic because it is unstable in his weakened state. Then Sora and Mira strength his magic further by adding their own magic to his and with this combination attack it returns them to their world where the others are searching for them.

Then while Arata is recovering he is visited by Hijiri and they have a heartwarming reunion until she tries to kill him. Although Lilith manages to interrupt her which leads to Hijiri taking things up another level by transforming into a demon lord. That it is through Hijiri that we learn what the Astral Trinity is and why she is able to retain her since of self while Arata lost himself in the power it granted. First it is a power that is born from mastering all of the branches that are related to their sin. In Hijiri's case its collapse, creation, and dis-assembly which are the three research themes of wrath. That this is why it is referred to as a trinity. This is also why Arata went out of control is because he wasn't ready for that level of power that transcends Magus mode which is the manifestation of a single theme from their sin while Astral Trinity is the manifestation of all three.


Now with the realistic threat that Hijiri poses it look like they are finished but they are saved when Arata summons Arin. Although the question is why is she summoned when he calls Hijiri's name, which raise the question of what is their relationship to one another. Then through summoning her Arata grants her a special spear that allows Arin to void Hijiri's attack. However this whole meeting seem like it is exist only to allow her to tell Arata about what Iscariot is doing and if they don't hurry back Royal Biblia Acdemy is going to be destroyed like this one was. Which sets their course for the next episode as well as the finale but the question is how much help is Arata going to be in his current state.

Hitsugi no Chaika Avenging Battle - ep09


Things went in both an expected and unexpected direction. First it was expected from last time that Toru would bring the remains of Gaz but maybe sabotage them in some why to make impossible for them to reach them so that he could get both Chaika back as well as complete the set by stealing Hartgen's as well. Although things don't go as expected since as thing turns out the third black Chaika has already eaten Hartgen's pieces so it's impossible to get them back. It also appears that red Chaika wasn't as clever as the white one since her piece were already stole probably from the point the tournament began. Although it did reach the anticipated expect point of the resurrection of Emperor Gaz.


Although with his resurrection may things have changed first being the execution of Hartgen being his first act when he tried to pledge his loyalty to Gaz. Now with his death Shin really isn't a threat anymore since he was working for Hartgen but that doesn't mean he won't form a contract with Gaz. Also with his resurrection we learn the true identity of Guy was Gaz.along with this fact he also brags about why he had himself kill was to give himself a magic organ that would allow him to directly use magic. While he is at it, he also explain why he will start another war. Is not because of any moral objective but the strongest magical fuel is produce by violent emotions. Although there is a bit of falsy in his logic that in time people will give into despair an will just stop trying. This mean that his rich magic fuel will dry up as well. However it is doubtful it will reach this point, the question now is how will that stop Gaz and what will Chaika do now that the purpose has been fulfill but not in the way she intended. I guess that Chaika could still complete her desire to give her supposed father his funeral it just means that she has to kill him again.

Also here we get introduce to a new threat which is Ilia, that it is through her to we learn more about Hijiri.

What makes things worse is that it appears that Hijiri doesn't need Arata to save her further more it appears that through her action they might end up becoming enemies. It seems that her goal is to destroy the world and rebuild it for her own convenience. Although for the most part this episode is about the building of Arata and Mira's relationship.

Although the same can't be said for Mira but Arata tries to use this situation to his advantage while Sora is working on the barrier from the inside. That he agrees to come over to Ilia's side if she sends Mira outside the barrier. Ilia gives no opposition to this request, but as things turn out she can't just send outside so instead Ilia is just going to kill her instead.
