The "future connections" thing is probably why he sent her to Greenland or wherever this is.

Since no one's mentioned it yet, it's likely that among the staff is Emma's biological mother (given Carol's resemblance to Emma). Now she's lost Emma twice.

Scribbles is definitely a Jackass Genie. Though he did apparently leave Emma an out — there's no reason she should still have even residual memories otherwise.

Well for one thing, Mujica isn't part of her family, so there's really no reason she shouldn't remember Mujica, and by extension, her own name.

I'm pretty sure Emma considers Mujica a part of her family by this point. Also she has no memories of Mujica that doesn't involve the rest of her family.

Who else thinks they'll sneak one last Peter Pan reference in by making Emma's new name "Wendy?"

That's what I was thinking.

Then everyone meets her again when she's old and has started a new family

Lots of people have been slagging on the series in some other places I post and really don't get why since everything has been incredibly good, but I digress.

Edit: Reading more posts, I'll NEVER understand fandoms OVERWHELMING obsession with characters dying and body counts needing to meet a certain quota for a series to be good.

Certain fans like to pretend they're not reading comics aimed at all ages readers but Grim And Gritty stories where death equals maturity.

Like I can understand a lot of the stuff just going for them making things lose tension a bit, but the whole no stakes due to no named characters dying is just BS and stuff like that has always felt lazy as hell. That and after all the horrible shit they've gone through...fuck it, they've more than earned having shit go well for them like it did.

I saw. On one hand, people from Spiderverse are working on it. On the other hand, Death Note people are working on it. Hhhhmmmm...

Well good news is there's no reason to change race because Promised Neverlands cast is already diverse.

That was brought up on ANN as well which I also like in that it allows for more diverse casting.

…Oh wait, it's an American adaptation with an actual budget this time? Okay, now I'm curious.

Especially on how they'll handle Krone.

And it's got people from Spiderverse as writer and director along with executive producer. The other executive producer is from the Death Note movie, but as long as the writer and director are solid...this might actually fucking work and be boss.

If they give this the kind of love they gave the Golden Compass adaption(assuming Amazon played hand on that one)...I'm feeling REALLY confident about this one.

The one good thing is that William Dafoe got to play the role he was born for.

Welp, this is it.

Now that I think of it, this is the first Jump series I've ever followed from beginning to end (that wasn't cancelled). I'm gonna miss it, dammit. sad I wish the epilogue was a couple chapters longer, but this is still a nice way to wrap things up.

The thing with Ayshe was a bit of an Aborted Arc though, wasn't it…

Also, it's scary to imagine these kids going to normal schools. [lol]

Yeah I'm kind of bummed that never got resolved or brought up and hope the anime gives it proper closure. Ending was incredibly nice and bitter sweetly heartwarming. Like I know people get on the series case about stakes or some other BS like that or whatnot, but fuck it, after all the shit they went and lived through they've earned that happy ending.

It was a bit rushed, all things considered, but yeah, it was a nice ending. Definitely worth the ride.

Considering who The One is he probably planned this shit out from day one, especially when the former promise makers attempted to undercut the promise in their own ways(Queen dies poisoned, unable to enjoy the greatest dishes / Peter trying to rule over the demons and dies rather than have his promise undone) both were screwed later. He probably wants to see her struggle in remembering.

Still, I was expecting them to have to prove who they were by telling Emma about her missing ear. She doesn't remember them, but she would know they must know her if they know that she wears her hair like that to hide the fact that she doesn't have a left ear.

Possibly more TPN on the way.

Could be a sequel/continuation or some side-stories.

____\\ didn't like Emma trying to Screw Destiny.

She had to be punished like the Queen and Peter.
