Perhaps as a Distant Finale, if they're not planning on further seasons?
Wait...what?!
How? When?! The elder didn't say anything, just the two of them will get blown apart by a strong wind. He didn't say a thing about a war or anything...
"Every opinion that isn't mine is subjected to Your Mileage May Vary."That's a bit of a stretch though...
"Every opinion that isn't mine is subjected to Your Mileage May Vary."1929
, but that is a world changing event and it even happened before WWII. Let's see civil war is raging in Russia right now more than likely. Not much else I can remember...

A friend is someone you trust to help you move. A best friend is someone you trust to hide the body.Plus side: this arc is actually fairly interesting. Down side: it reminds me of Ookami Kakushi
The series is set... when, 1925 or so? Depending on how old Victorique is (though it's hard to believe she's only eleven or so, as is suggested), it's at the least 1925 if Brian Roscoe visited the Village of the Grey Wolves ten years ago during the outbreak of the first World War in 1915.
I'll add one to the count of people who think the 'wind' the Elder mentioned was WWII. Given the series' mentions of WWI in the Queen Berry arc, and Victorique's mention of it again in this episode, I'm not sure what else it could be. Something tells me that in an anime featuring gentleman phantom thieves and an evil cartel of the world's richest men engaging in The Most Dangerous Game-style fortune-telling, we won't be expected to act riveted by the Wall Street collapse of 1929.

It's been fun.I also istantly thought of WWII with the prophecy, even before that, I was already thinking what would happen to them around that time, with Kujou being japanese, and Sauville apparently drifting towards the allies...
Also, don't forget that "wind" is usually used as a metaphor for "war", from biblical prophecies, to the title of Gone With The Wind, and also present in both japanese concepts of "kamikaze".
I hope at least there will be some prophecy twist in it, it would be one hell of a downer ending if they would get separated in a decade, and die alone.

I think it's going to end up as more as a Bittersweet Ending - sure, they have to say goodbye to each other, but the fifteen years they had before that were amongst the best of their lives.
What's precedent ever done for us?Will we get that far? I thought the novels were still coming out? And only 26 episodes.

If we don't get there, that's even worse, in an Inferred Holocaust way.
By the way, I don't think that even the novels will ever get there. I don't know many anime romance story that continued with the teenager protagonists growing up, marrying to each other, and dying.
Well, I know one...
Yeah its 26 eps it was up on ANN IIRC. The only one I can think of is Dragon Ball although only one liked to die.
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Welp, 'nother episode. Can't say I got into this one quite as much as I might have, which may have had something to do with the fact that I was still reeling from watching a certain other show's eighth episode a mere couple of hours beforehand, but the ending was still some pretty epic d'aww.

btw, does anyone know if theres a gif of Victorique getting flicked on the head and then tearing up?
