Spoiler for Images:

Episode 25 is made more politely than the other story which is very high precision

[wao]

Awwww ;_; It's so nice to see Bosanocchi not being left all alone! And the class president!

But I finally read the short spoiler on newtype for this episode, apparently the woman you see in those screencaps,

Spoiler:

her name is Eclair (Ekure-ru) and actually Tamaki's grandmother ordered him to escort her for the duration of the 2-day long Ouran Festival. Tamaki shows her around the school, without understanding the true intentions of his grandmother... but Eclair doesn't show any interest in whatever he points out to her. Just when Tamaki's at a loss as to what to do, she tells him she wants to hear some piano-playing and they both head towards the Music Room #3...

So it's really an original story? I don't know what's up with them introducing her all of a sudden. I hope she's just a very temporary plot device because there's like... one episode left, so what'll happen the next episode...

And I wonder why it's called Ouran Host Club Dissolution. I guess what with Tamaki and his grandmother on one end and Kyouya's dad being pissed on the other end... hm... oh whatever, might as well watch it and then talk...

Wow this was not what I expected

Spoiler:

It started all fun and games until Kyoya's father slapped him in front of everyone. I kind of like Tamaki's father he's quirky to say the least. Anyway Tamaki's grandmother is a ultra bitch she brought this girl to marry off Tamaki and what she did to him and his mother. I kind of wished he uppercut her when he was greeting her and she said not to touch her. Haruhi seemed kind of half jealous but not or at least she pretends not to be. I figured that tamaki would have disbanded the club because of the parents, or how his father and eclair got the idea into his head that because of the club the other members are suffering. I'm guessing that eclair might have threatend him with haruhi's secret since she figured out after tamaki got excited when eclair said haruhi was jealous and went after her. Episode ends after kyoya reassures haruhi tamaki is fine the way he is and that he'll be there, followed by Tamamki announcing his engagement to eclair and that the club is disbanded. Anyway next episode is the last one and looks more drama heavy than anything.

Episode 25 screencaps and summary

Spoiler:

I should have known that the girl shown in the preview last week is problem. But I didn't expect her to be Tamaki's fiancee. She looks old enough to be his step mother. :P

Spoiler:

But the club isn't dissolved yet! Tamaki declares that it's getting dissolved once the festival ends, so they've got that long to get him away from Éclair. Yea, it's a technicality, but I can see the end of the festival being like a deadline for them getting Tamaki to change his mind.

Episode 25 Screen Captures

This episode seems to have a lot of panning shots. I personally like this panorama the most so far: (Click for bigger picture)



I really, really dislike Eclair right now. I wonder what she gains out of the whole deal... Why would she want to do this to herself and Tamaki?

Spoiler for Theories:

I bet if anything, the whole Eclair thing will turn out to be something that tests Tamaki’s ability to hold a club (a mini-business) together and by extension, an actual company in the future. Ouran is a romantic comedy and it mostly likely won’t end on the note that everyone goes their seperate ways. If that was to happen, then the director simply could’ve used the impending graduation of Honey & Mori.

- What were Kyoya and Tamaki’s father whispering about? It sounded like Tamaki’s father requested Kyoya to do something.

- I feel that Kyoya’s slap is staged. Why would his father just suddenly slap him publicly? Kyoya’s been involved in the club long enough that his family should know something about his after school activities and whereabouts. Moreover, would Kyoya articipate in the Host Club only for fun? Kyoya didn’t seem too perturbed afterwards; he went back to typing on his Pineapple laptop and even changed into a new costume. I get the feeling that he knows something the rest of the club doesn’t…♥♥♥

- Eclair also has a brief flashback of her with Tamaki’s mother when Tamaki plays the piano, which hints that Tamaki’s mother possibly has a hand in Eclair’s appearance at Ouran.

Oh this looks so interesting.

I am a manga reader but I am glad they changed the plot line a little so that we can have an ending that feels like an ending. Following the manga means us manga readers don't get to feel the agony of waiting impatiently for the next episode to find out what will happen.

Eclair looks like a jerk. Hope she suffers what she deserves next episode. I am curious as to what Haruhi is doing in the preview.

[SinsI]

changed the plot line a little

A little? I think it's completely different. Anime and manga have only a tiny bit in common, they even reversed some things in the anime.

Spoiler for manga comparison:

We see no competitions at all, no detective games, and no "Hero of the event". Kyouta was praised by his father in manga - he is punished in the anime.
And of course, there's that little thing about marriage and club shutdown, as well as Haruhi's jealousy.

[metamorphic]

A truly great and excellent episode.

Spoiler:

I think there's a major chance that Eclair is a positive character, especially with the sequence involving her with apparently who appeared to be Tamaki's mother - and since she also happens to be from France, I think this might spell out some interesting connotations.

We've certainly gotten to see a very interesting and new side of Tamaki, a very touching and tragic past. The parellels of Tamaki's situation, having to live without his mother, with Haruhi, whose mother has passed away, is also interesting, but perhaps even more saddening and tragic for Tamaki, since even though his mother is alive and also ill, he can't even see her.

You and me both, here's my theory

Spoiler for just my own thoughts:

Im thinking Tamaki's Oba-sama must have promised her something, since why would would she even care about who Tamaki ends up with. But if she does want the Suoh name to continue Tamaki's gotta marry someone and since she picked Eclair and Tamaki wants to impress her, Im thinking Eclair just be getting something huge! I hope the rest of the Club can talk him out of it but now that Eclair knows Haruhi is a female I doubt she'll keep her mouth shut.

Gah that epi made me mad

[wao]

I'm kind of worried by Eclair coming in because it sounds like a pathway to a cheap and cheesy fix to the ending where everyone suddenly goes OOC ... Especially the usually stoic Haruhi suddenly getting all soft. It just would be too abrupt!

Oh well, it's up to BONES now to see whether or not they screw their fans over with the ending...

[Shenten]

Woah....DRAMATIC change in mood...and animation for that matter. I actually got kinda emotional on this one! But I can really kinda see how this one's gonna turn out in the end!!! *squeeee!!!!* You know it's a good series when you actually wanna throttle a few characters, comfort them, or give them a good talking to! It's rare for me to be so attached to a series. I'm extremely impressed on how BONES is finishing this one up.

[Lotiman]

One more episode to go. I don't want it to finish. It is one of the best comedy series I seen in my life.

[DrewGSR]

I dunno, I really like the look of Enclair. She looks good imo. Her personality and who she really is another story. Good episode, with some entertaning scenes and some serious dramatic stuff.

Anyways can't wait to see what happens in the final episode, but I really do hope it isn't all rush and we get like some random ass ending. Bones is awsome, so like some have said leave it to them to give us something good to end on.

[hakasan]

I actually think Eclair may turn out to be a good person, the plot will reveal in the final episode. Just a sneaky feeling when she was listening to Tamaki play the piano and we get a shot of her and I think with Tamaki's mom (the sitting down one with blonde hair).

Yeah Im pretty positive that was Tamaki's mother, I didnt catch it the first time I watched it. Makes when she says "What you want the most I can give you" more interesting.

I still dont get WHY tamaki's oba-sama would agree to this, if she knows the Eclair knows Tamaki's mother why would she have Eclair use that on him. She said that Tamaki can never see her again. Im confused on that part.

[3mina]

i feel kinda sad after watching it cos well tama-chan looked really sad when he said that they were getting married
and i knew Haruhi would get jealous!! yes!! i think tamaki will change his mind once haruhi say something but i think it would at the very end cos haruhi isn't that kind of person to stick her nose in things, but this time i think she will, it will take her a while to notice that she likes him but she will soon, i hope or it's gonna be like at the wedding and she just notices that she likes him and will yell it out at the wedding(i hope so very darmaish don't u think ) but anyway i can't wait untill the next eppi
i feel kinda sad that this season is gonna end it's going to be like 6 months untill the next season( i hope not but prepering for the wrost)
and tell u a little sercet!! the manga hasn't got this part yet at least not in eng and chinese, so i think this is just a anime thing( the ending)
