What I'm wondering is what did you all expect Mikuni to do? If he had not delayed the inevitable, Japan would have been completed wiped out...and that would have been the end of the show. Therefore, he made a decision that he obviously did not like making and is paying a high price for it. I really would like to know Hanabi's role in all this; what is exactly going on with her?
Masakaki is nuts. Made my skin crawl.

Complete erasure occurs when your own country's Financial District goes bankrupt. What Mikuni is doing is depleting Japan's own future. The Financial District goes bankrupt when the country's future runs out. Thus, what Mikuni is doing is far worse. |

I finally get it...sorta!

But I'm still confused about two things: 1) Why does Mikuni want to deplete Japan's future? I get that saving the present is important but without a future what's the point? 2) Just because he's trying to get rid of the Midas realm doesn't he realize that what he's doing will erase Japan from the face of Earth and essentially erase him which means he'll be long gone before he can help destroy the other financial districts in the Midas world? I mean can anyone clear up his actions for me? I'm really confused about what's going on, what is Mikuni doing and what does Yoga think he'll accomplish by reversing the rotary system? |

That is the very problem of Mikuni's psychology: "I only care about present, who gives a damn about the future?" is internally flawed. He fails to understand that the future will eventually become present.
And it is pretty clear in this episode that he has lost his mind over that psychology Spoiler:
Yoga is trying to reverse the rotary, and hopefully that can return the Midas Money back to people's future. Though, using Darkness cost you 20 years of your own, I wonder does that applies even you are just asking for refunds. |

So, once again, it's Kimimaro's caring of his future that makes him win the day.
Wonder WHY he suddenly got a black card though. What's Mikuni's (or his superiors) scheme here...? Quote:

I guess that we'll see. That said, only 20 years may not be too bad, as such. It may rather be when you use it as much as Mikuni that it becomes a really bad thing. |

Ah, yes, the best part of this series, the fights, finally they're back and what a difference it make.
All the talking and shipping slows the episodes down, but the action is what makes this interesting to watch so far. Now, let's guess the attack names in the final episode perhaps? How about "The Great Depression"? |

C - Episode 10
Hmm, this was a thoroughly entertaining episode. Rather than distract from the dialogue, the reintroduction of the action was a logical and exciting follow-up to the build-up from previous episodes.
However, I think I've found a glaring plot hole. Kimimaro wants to reverse the rotary press, which would supposedly undo all the major changes Mikuni has been making up to now. This would logically return Japan to the state which it would have been in if Mikuni didn't use the rotary press to stop 「C]. But would this mean that Japan would vanish? I thought Mikuni's actions since episode 9 were a necessary evil to protect Japan even if it meant sacrificing its future. Hopefully, I was wrong and Japan can still be saved from 「C] by other means. I know nothing about economics, but this plot detail keeps bugging me. |

The tarot symbols are once again at full force this episode. There's also a Hindu god, benzene, and the Ouroboros, alongside all the action. This episode was great.
For more about the symbolism, check it out here.

Or maybe it was simply because she got injured too badly. Entres lose money when they get injured, so what happens if someone attacks them after they went bankrupt? Maybe Q kept eating her even after she went bankrupt... a disturbing thought. Oh, forgot to mention I enjoyed hearing green Masakaki speaking in english

BTW, why are all the players start dying now when they lose the "open deal?" Are we at a point where creator just start making things up as the series comes to a conclusion? Last edited by ipodi; 2011-06-17 at 12:30. |
