Majima lived because the DA didn't present a narrative case that they deserved to beat him, and because Chisato and Takina didn't have a solid motivation to fix their mess for them.

What's precedent ever done for us?

Chisato herself says as much. She only cares about helping the people around her. She has no stake in the war between DA and Majima outside of that.

I feel like that's gonna bite her in the ass given how obsessed Majima is with her...if there's a sequel

Technically there was a kiss too....an indirect one between Chisato and Majima....um...

Majima may be intrigued by her, but it seems to be mostly that he's lonely, wants a friend, and doesn't really know how to express it outside his Alan Foundation programming. He'd probably be up for a few rounds of paintball and an evening watching Eighties action movies, if asked.

If the DA wanted Chisato to care about his vendetta against their organisation, they probably shouldn't have sent quite so many death-squads after her over the years.

That was pretty good! Like usual, I feel like the very final episode would benefit from being watched immediately after the penultimate one, but it was very solid.

Also, I think most of my predictions were busted, including that Majima's hearing would have anything to do with Yoshimatsu's heart. I really wanted a kiss, too, but now that they're in Hawaii they can get married.

It's been fun.

Mika ended up being my favorite. I'm a sucker for good dads in Anime. Being a POC and LGBTQ on top of that is just the icing.

Yeah Mika was a great, badass parent figure.

I'm really not sure at this moment exactly how that went down. I think for sure that Mika shot Shinji, but he didn't then show up carrying Shinji's body. Was the heart inside the case after all? Would he have brought it along without checking it? And if it was just a decoy, or just had the box with the pendant in it, would he have brought the whole thing to the operating room?

Either way, I guess that Chisato must know what happened by this point.

It's been fun.

Hmm, maybe not? It's entirely possible she doesn't want to ask.

RedSavant Since: Jan, 2001
#237: Sep 24th 2022 at 7:40:56 PM

I imagine she doesn't want to ask, no, but she must know. She got a new heart and the last she heard, the one she needed was inside Yoshimatsu's chest.

I think you could make a strong case for it being something she could guess, but I don't think Mika would've had that whole secret line if he planned to tell her, and I can't see her asking 'did one of you kill Mr. Yoshi'

#239: Sep 24th 2022 at 8:08:30 PM

Nope. I'm glad the ending shows that Chisato is still fine with Mika, though I expect they probably had a talk about it offscreen. At least, that would be nice to imagine. Though they may have resolved not to talk about it.

It's been fun.

Something a Twitter user (@vip_wiz) pointed out that may or may not be accurate - apparently they think the bracelets Takina and Chisato are wearing at the end in Hawaii may be maile bracelets, which the text included in the tweet (unsourced) are used for wedding jewelry or just to symbolize devotion to a partner. I don't know if I buy it 100% - there ARE bracelets with a more layered-leaf look than the one in the tweet - but it's a cute visual and I choose to believe!

It's been fun.

Can't find anything about that (just lots of places to buy the things); I think the matching pair part is probably more relevant (and if you want to be pedantic, they're on the left). [lol]

Yeah. The text shown in the tweet comes from Kotobuki-Shokai, but is also unsourced there. I do have an uncle living in Hawai'i I could ask about it, at the least.

It's been fun.

So....

Majima Everywhere system fopr the next season?

Have Majima become Chisato's Sitcom Arch-Nemesis that tries to ambush from anywhere, even if the next season is a Slice of Life?

[up][up][up] Is it specifically a thing about Hawaii? Because the bracelets just seem way more generic. [lol]

Well, there's no specific indication that the Twitter user is correct in their reading of the bracelets, but they apparently do exist, so. Hard to tell for certain.

Also, coming up, we have:

  • A new manga spinoff about "Takina and Chisato's daily lives"; hard to tell if this will adapt the Ordinary Days light novel or new stories.
  • An official anthology manga; these tend to be mostly gags and short stories that fall under the category of "official fan stories." They don't necessarily contradict canon, but maybe we'll get one from the original authors too if we're lucky.
  • A special event of some sort being held on February 11. No details confirmed except that Chisato, Takina, Mizuki, and Kurumi's voice actresses will be there, among possible others.

Oh sweet, I saw something mentioned about the first one but I was waiting for confirmation.

fillerdude Since: Jul, 2010
#250: Sep 25th 2022 at 1:35:57 AM

Yes! The slice-of-life spinoff I wanted is a reality!

Anyway, my reading of the confrontation between Mika and Yoshi was that Yoshi was bluffing about having the artificial heart in his chest. It was always in the briefcase. He prepared it as a reward for Chisato’s first (?) kill. Probably had an OR set up too. It makes sense that way, too. Less risk of a stray bullet damaging the heart.

Seriously, Alan Institute, learn to adapt. Chisato could have become the world’s greatest ping pong player if she didn’t want to kill. Sheeeesh.
