That Aika knew the Core would appear is just as likely the product of deduction based on Hakaze meeting her and vowing to destroy the Genesis Tree (which is possible only because Aika died). Also, if Hakaze completely halted Samon's reawakening of the Zetsuen Tree, Aika would not be at full power to face the Genesis Core, even if she still lived. Hakaze reconsidered only because of Yoshino and Mahiro and the uncertainty over Aika's death. Also, recall the role of Genesis Tree as a test for humanity, with the central role played by the Kusaribe. Given this, it won't be surprising that the Core's appearance is a reaction to the Princess's will to destroy the Genesis Tree. TL;DR, Zetsuen Tree and Mage alone may be the sword that slays the Genesis Tree but Hakaze turning against it is a crucial factor as well. Quote:
Aika said that in a decade, civilization will be destroyed by the Genesis Tree. She later advises that once the Core appears, consider that the reset will take place in a few years. The two isn't necessarily mutually exclusive....it could be simply that the Core's appearance hastens the process. Either way, Aika being Aika, she would never gamble Mahiro and Yoshino on such a risk. At least, not on a path where they cannot do anything about it. Quote:

2- Without spoiling too much, I'll say just this: both Hakaze and Samon participated in the final battle against the military with their magic in the manga. As for how... I'll leave it to you to read the manga and find out. The whole "Kusaribe magic being unusable" thing is just an anime original tweak to bring Mahiro and Yoshino into the spotlight. Quote:
And helping him get to the tree isn't important? What? So if I play through The Legend of Zelda and the Master Sword is the only weapon that can kill the final boss, does that mean every other tool from the Bow, Bombs, Hookshot, and potions are completely useless for the entire game? That's a huge fallacy. Why are you making all of these baseless assumptions? Quote:
Quote:
There's plenty of danger without her around. After all, they now have to face the Tree of Genesis without her.[/QUOTE] This is false. Aika's power comes from the Tree of Exodus. The Tree of Exodus is still alive and now fully awakened thanks to Hakaze. Hanemura has the exact same powers as Aika. If he needs knowledge of how the world works or battle experience, everyone has been giving him that knowledge. At this point, everyone knows as much as Aika does right now. The only real loss comes from Yoshino and Mahiro never being able to see the girl who knew them so well ever again. Quote:

Would you force them to stay in the building with you just because you'd rather trust yourself over strangers to protect the lives of your loved ones? |

A good episode, I expected it to be worse although I'm not fond of some anime-original things
Spoiler for what was original:
Quote:
Surprised that they ended at the start of chapter 42 when Hanemura reached the Tree of Genesis, I thought they would put the cliffhanger of the end of chapter 42.

Because he's a gutless wonder. It doesn't matter if he's technically got the same power as Aika: he lacks her will and courage. For that matter, he also lacks her knowledge. They told him what Aika told Hakaze, but that's my point: he needed to be told instead of just knowing. And there's no telling what she might have forgotten to mention, for one reason or another. Or what additional knowledge she might have gained as the Trees awoke.

So, to go back to my own analogy: Hakaze can assure Aika the fire in the plane didn't kill them. But when it comes to the fall, all she can say is that they hadn't reached the ground yet when she left. |

Just want to point out, the fruit actually makes a lot of difference. The anime didn't really do a good job at showing how much Hanemur'as powr has increased correspond to the number of fruits released. The fruit and the Exodus Tree's actual function does not just trigger byt itself either. Some one has to be there to boot it up.

That ending was fantastic. I'm reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally hoping they don't cheese out and bring him back from death/near death a second time.
The repercussions, assuming they don't revive him, can make this ending a lot of fun.

Gee Okada... if you want to write something original, can you not turn two intelligent boys into idiots who don't bother disarming their captives? I would think most people pretending to be terrorists would check for weapons...
I hope he doesn't die, because an Okada original ending would make me rage. |

Oooh, that was certainly an interesting way of putting things. Mahiro was certainly cunning with his plan, though I guess in their haste/inexperience managed to let slip a weapon. XD
And no, I don't really care if they go original end or whatever, as long as it's interesting. And if it's anything Okada can do, it would be that, so I'm not too worried. Long ago I've learned to judge a show on its own merits, without any preconceived notion on what it SHOULD it have been instead, or how it deviated from the source. A bunch of shows I would have never otherwise enjoyed if I was such a stickler on how things should be, and my time was all the better for it. So bring it on, final episode! Looking forward to the resolution, and I'm guessing by his words this episode, Mahiro is planning himself to be emperor of the world after the battle lol.

Wow, how stupid can the researcher captives be? You're tied up, barely able to move, are essentially safe, and you barely shoot ONE of the two guys there? Sheez, I wonder what the other guy will do to you after that, since before they essentially guaranteed your safety up to this point. They are scientists. I expected them to be smarter than this.
Actually, what I'm really curious about is, who is Hanemura's girlfriend? She is the most mentioned character not to appear in the anime so far.

Spoiler for Hanemura's girlfriend:
Although that shot-by-the-hostage scene is really idiotic, I'm still looking forward to the anime original ending. Hoping for a different conclusion than the manga ending. By the way, does anyone know how the heck those missiles could chase a flying human?

So the plan is finally revealed.
Hakaze & Yoshino's emotions were clouding their judgement. I get it, any girl would be angry on an indecisive guy. Yoshino needs to get over Aika or things are gonna get even more complicated. Well, at least some of them were enjoying the tropical paradise ^^ And so the fighting begins...

Actually, Yoshino and Mahiro want to participate in the battle against all logic is OOC. They usually follow the logic and the logic implies that they were not needed. Last edited by Konja7; 2013-03-22 at 06:32. |
