1. Sairei no Hebi is defeated. Massive destruction has been unleashed at Misaki City. 2. Yuji decides to unleash the full power of Reiji Maigo, but is told that even his power is not enough to restore the city. Neither is Shana's ability to use Tenpa Jyousai. Unleash the romantic scene where they kiss in the fire before they disappear. Both are nowhere to be found. EDIT: Cosmetic damage (a.k.a. buildings, parks, and convience stores) is restored. 3. Another Flame Haze (probably Kashmin again) will set Misaki City back to it's rightful place - peaceful with a minimum amount of torches. The balance between the two worlds have been reset. 4. Wilhelmina leaves to do her duty. So does Margery. Don't know whether Keisaku will go with her or not. 5. In the epilogue, ten years later, Eita and Matake are married. 6. We'll find an adult Kazumi taking care of Chigusa's third-born child as a babysitter. From what I can conjure, she is the only one in Misaki City who knows (to a certain extent) Yuji's story. Cut to the scene where she tells the little boy/girl the story of Yuji and Shana before she tucks the child to bed. 7. For a fleeting moment, Kazumi thought she saw Yuji and Shana smiling at the young child... Last edited by minhtam1638; 2007-11-17 at 20:56. Reason: prologue -> epilogue |

If there's nothing detailled so far, I guess we can assume nothing "brick shatting" or unexpected happened in this novel - a lack of enthusiasm in telling others would likely be a byproduct of writing that lacks compulsion.

It is rather harder to read a book in Japanese, especially with some kanji having more than one way to pronounce it, therefore having slightly a different meaning. |

O.O I forgot about the Hiragana, Katanaka thiny for a sec there now I understand, though there are probably quite a few people that are done, but are either too lazy, or greedy to post spoilers, but it's their choice so meh |

I see Yuuji dying alone more probably than Shana and Yuuji dying together, Shana dying or no one dying at all. He seems more expendable than other characters in the story.
Of course, the possibility could exist that the Flame Haze reject their contracts with the Crimson Kings (per what I outlined earlier, them being nefarious and all) and fight them, becoming Torches. Yuuji then extends their life, or they (and all other Torches) get copies of the Reiji Maigo so the loss of existance will never again plague humanity. Then Shana + Yuuji can live semi-normal lives, though it remains to be seen if Torches age or not. This theory is quite contingent on a "yes". Quote:
I'm thinking our spoiler summaries are coming from 2channel discussion threads, with our resident AnimeSuki novel readers arriving later to harden out the details. Hence, it strikes me odd that not one person, especially a native Japanese speaker (argue what you will, I don't think it takes a native speaker with an active interest in a subject one week to read a relatively short "novel") has brought up information pertaining to the novel.

Of course, nobody would die at all, but that would only imply that either the story will continue or Yuji and Shana would just go off to la-la land together and leave Misaki City, which is kind of a dull ending. The possibility of Flame Haze breaking their contracts and Yuji extending torches' rights to the Reiji Maigo just doesn't seem to have that excitement or anxiety of an ending, or whatever you want to call it. Plus, I also don't see Yuji extending rights to all the other torches without either him dying or him having to stay in the city for a little while longer. And the semi-normal lives thing, well, sure, but that still seems to be much of a dull ending... I don't know, I guess I watched Fate/Stay Night too much. Quote:

what can you do? Kinny Riddle is the only one even reading the novels who hangs around the subforum, and those are apparently the Taiwanese version, meaning no 16 for a good while. |

In terms of plot logic, I would say it's true that Yuuji should basically die--perhaps in a manner that destroys the Reiji Maigo for good. But the sappy side of me would prefer some kind of happily ever after ending. |

After all, it's Christmas, Jesus is born, Santa is making his way through rooftops and rooftops, and the Reiji Maigo extended to torches will be considered the Ultimate Christmas Present. It's kind of like Chrono Crusade (the anime) where the sake of living is most important in the story, and you, like Yuji, must decide what to do with the time you're given to live on this earth. Yuji having to leave the city is a must, assuming that he remains alive. That however just returns my argument to the cliffhanger situation of what happens next. The death of a secondary character, such as Wilhelmina and/or Margery is quite possible. But just remember that like Shana's Tenpa Jyousai, both Wilhelmina and Margery have something similar that releases Tiamat and Marcosious (and we've seen Margery release Marcosious before). From my perspective, it would make much more sense if characters that are still human take the fall, since a death of a flame haze would result in the release of a Crimson Lord, and you know how bad that is. At least you agree with me in terms of plot logic, though. |
