[Kirarakim]

On another note I am getting really tired of seeing people say if they use the diary as a fate transfer it will be a Deus ex machina (and I've been seeing it everywhere)

Now I am not saying this is how the series will end or even my preferred end but it's not a deus ex machina because

1) We have known what the diary could do for awhile so it does not come out of nowhere. There is nothing contrived about it.

2) Use of the diary requires some type of payment/sacrifice, so even if it is used something will be lost. Hence it's not really a magical fix everything.

I mean personally I hope Ikuhara will go with a less predictable route or perhaps he could use this route in a unpredictable way. However, the very fact that we know about this route means it's been set up and it's not a deus ex machina (that term is way overused).
