[up][up]Perhaps as a Distant Finale, if they're not planning on further seasons?

he current one picked up on World War II, didn't he?

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...

"Years from now, a gale will blow that will shake the world."

Considering the time period, there's really only one way to interpret that.

Not really. How many other world-shaking events do you know of in that time-period?

Considering the series takes place in a country that didn't exist in our world, I'm not entirely sure I want to assume WWI and WWII happened/will happen the same way.

Could be The Great Depression. That affected Europe.

Seems a little too soon. The Depression kicked off in the Twenties, after all.

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...

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.

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.

So who else went "Dawwww" when Victorique asked if Kujo was gonna protect her he said yes and she said she had nothing to worry about then. I certainly did.

Will we get that far? I thought the novels were still coming out? And only 26 episodes.

Oho, we get two seasons? That's a lot more room to resolve character arcs and such, then. Good for them.

[up][up][up] 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.

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.

I just finished watching MM too. And if you found the new episode of Gosick to be underwhelming compared to MM, I think the ep will make me fall asleep on my keyboard.

Anyway, going to go watch now. I'm still wondering what happened to those guys that were mentioned at the end of Episode 3.
