So just exactally where did the "Asami being in love with Shuri" spawned from? Indeed all this time we, as the viewers, have thought that Asami's interest was soley on Sana but this is where the genius part comes in.
Out of the blue, Asami actually confesses to Sana on her feelings for Shuri...as well as everything else. Indeed she was the one who sent the letter, and wrote the message on the board but the most important fact is why she did such a thing.
Okey...the reason was totally hilarious. Remember the ferris wheel scene? Apparantly Asami became jealous that Shuri showed her sensitive side to Shuu rather than herself.
Complete and utter LAWL but I guess that is how the story goes. A valid reason for a nutcase. Though saying that I can't say such relationships aren't uncommon. It just that Asami takes it to a whole new level to become the villain in this case.
Girl X girl love is something we see in a lot of romances, usual between an idol girl and a fan girl base (yadda yadda) - The same thing here is what we are presented with.
Ever since they were small, Asami has taken a fancy to Shuri but being a girl she can't really express those feelings...the jealousy thing is just another hint in showing how screwed up this love has caused Asami to be. She has become obsessed with Shuri over that time.
What happens after is history. Sana tries to be supportive which just makes Asami feel worse. Because she is meant to be Shuri's best friend - How could so do something so backstabbing to hurt her?
Asami talks with Shuri alone while Sana goes off with Shuu.
Shuu talks with Sana about his situation with Nanaka (bla bla boring stiff compared to the previous confession). Well Shuri ends up running out crying so we can assume that Asami told her what he feelings are.
As for the rest of the episode, I found that the ending "goodbye" by the twin was touching, to say the least (Dam that BGM again!
). The twins both disappear off one day which was weird for Sana to take in, considering the previous day when they revealed that only Shuri will be leaving for London.
Sana ends up running out of class to the train station where his hunch was correct. Shuri and Shuu are indeed eloping together (this isn't a laughing matter).
Well Sana chases with a bike, seen as the train left - then we have a deja vu scene where Sana is screaming at the train where Shuu has no hope of hearing due to the noise - remember that scene? ^^
But in that Shuu guess what Sana wanted to say, because he said the same thing to him all those yeats back...
"We will always be friends"
*incoming big crying fest*
Yes, this was an emotional scene to watch...
I can see that this episode will bring split opinions...well love it or hate it, it all comes down to what you want from this series. I just loved how such drama/twist/blasphemy could be introduced so late in the game and yet flowing smoothly.
preview - Nanaka looks trapped (seems like it's time for her story to finish)
