There were a few things I wasn't sure about, who was the Yin-like person in the epilogue that is seemingly dead? Is that the "dark" Yin?
The ending for the main characters is left rather ambiguous, which is fine, though I would say that Hei killing Yin would come off as a contradiction if he spent all season refusing to kill her. Perhaps he killed "dark" Yin, and freed Yin? I don't think they merged, since we see the two of them, or at least Yin in his arms, at the end (unless its a joining in spirit), and I don't think she's dead since she's glowing. Suou is... in wonderland? The rest of the cast was pretty much concluded. Mina may not appear but her story ended when she killed Genma, I would think she's probably alive since we don't see her corpse. Mizaki, Golgo, Madame, and so on, all got resolved in some sense of the word, or better put the same way they were resolved at the end of the first season. And a big *thumbs up* to July. He discovered love, pity he forgot and had Suou taken away from him by the magician. (Is July with November 11 in the epilogue?) |

Now that you mention it, the clothes of the one he is holding hands with appear to be the same as the ones November 11 wore. Which is kind of cool, though that makes me wonder if other dead people are here too.

I always thought he saw November as his dad, and the girl (I forgot her month) as his mother. So I think it would make sense, but that just brings up a lot of questions about the dead/alive in Suou's world. Season 3 (I'm calling it) is the story of Suou and July when they've grown up and in their more-hormonal years. |

This is one of the time where I wish my JPL proficiency level was higher. Level 4 doesn't cut it when it comes to complex terminologies.
I can't see why people are complaining, really, as almost the exact thing happened at the end of the first season. We had an almost EVA-esque 'congratulations!' scene then, we have an HS-AU world now. Literally.

I'm sorry to say that my feelings about this episode aren't much better than most others'.
And new worlds/new earths???? Where the heck did all this come from??? Since when did DtB have anything to do with world changing/making??? They ended up suffering a bit from a rushed ending, as I feared. We never found out what the heck was up with Yin being Izanami; hopefully they tell us what that was all about in the upcoming OVAs. And JulyxSuou came really came quite a bit out of nowhere. After 24 episodes, DtB fans still can't accept HeixYin, so how does Bones expect people to get behind SuouxJuly? They had the friendship thing going, but then they ended up jumping to a love relation, and Suou's feelings for hei ended up getting a bit of a backburner due to obvious time constraints. And then we don't even find out what happens to Hei and Yin in the end; they end up getting an even worse backburner. Hopefully they make an S3, because they certainly have plenty to work with; the Syndicate, the Gates, and Hei and Yin. But this episode ended up not doing quite so well. DtB ended up dissapointing quite a bit after a good main run. (for me anyway) 4/10

I can't understand Japaneses and can only rely on info from others.
But to me is seems that the sky is now the normal sky, with 1 exception that BK201's star is the only one still shining. So if Hei is still alive, he is the last contractor, but Mao is stuck in his squirrel body.

Here's what's my take on the ending after first watch (highly subject to change). Speculations to why Yin still exists.
Spoiler for 12:
All in all, I loved this episode. The things I want to see resolved got resolved (even though there are a ton of unanswered questions but I'm fine with that regarding the world itself). I personally believe it's a Hei x Yin end <__<. Last edited by Kunagisa; 2009-12-26 at 04:05. Reason: Added extra thoughts |

This episode was so.... sad. It's certainly not the end that I wanted, but it certainly isn't a trainwreck that other people are making it out to be, though.
Spoiler:
As for Hei... Spoiler:
The created Earth thing isn't much of a stretch, since Shion needed machines, amplified Gate power, amplified meteor power, his contractor power, and dying to make it. Remember, Amber was able to move time itself without needing those other things at all. Then we get Spoiler:
Okamura Tensai did say that he wanted to focus on other characters other than Hei in coming sequels after season 1, but... didn't he already do it this season with Suou? But seriously, a bittersweet ending before Christmas, Bones? REALLY?
