I have rewatched this episode so much and in latam too that it feels like I watched it a year ago but it hasn't been a week yet.
I was actually impressed they managed to leave the OP... I was hoping for an extra minute of content somewhere but oh well.
We start seeing Black Maiden in her cute black socks just standing outside and everyone talking inside... But then Gakko and Yohane were peeking and kfsdjdf Black Maiden's face after Kanna throws the cup to Gakko's face. And poor Yohane he's so soft and worries...
I'm not all that convinced with Redseb's retelling of Black Maiden's crime and we see her all proud with the gun in her hand... I feel she wouldn't have been proud of that, not immediately, at least, and now without a small drop of hesitation in her looks, but I assume it's for painting her evil purposes (it'll be so hard to clean her image later, poor girl).
Redseb and Seyrarms reactions after Tamao hits Ryu LMAO... gosh I can't believe this is all we'll see of these two for the longest while.
Back in hell, hana meets Sakurai again (but bald) and there goes a long chat about the situationship. Love the colors and atmosphere for this place.
After all the talk the island gets bombed and Hana leaves with Sakurai in his plane. Hana looking so cute with his lil helmet and peeking from behind Sakurai's shoulder.
Then the enemy attacks and we get an spectacular display of screenshots (but I share and understand the director's pain and they did their best with it). I just hope they at least animated Hana bouncing around the cockpit or something more lively but anyway...
Yosuke's stupid laugh. That's it.
He avoids being killed once again but Hana's not so lucky. Sakurai doesn't skimp on bullets when he's pissed.
And finally we get matchmaker Sakurai in his full anime glory.
And finally with the helpf of different translations I get what Yosuke said at that time... about Hana knowing how evil the world can be.
I feel so bad for how heavy this gets on him from the beginning, learning about war and how mmoney pursuits move the world firsthand... And about Sakurai's motives, for feeling like a sheep being led to war, but also for the wish of going back home to live a peaceful life with the people he loved.
THE MUSIC FILLS MY EYES WITH GROSS TEARS EVERY SINGLE TIME I CAN'T DO THIS.
THE ADDED YOH AND ANNA SCENE OF THEM PROTECTING HIM UNTIL THE END.
HANA ACTUALLY SEEING HIS TEAM MEMBERS GATHERED AROUND HIM AND WAITING FOR HIM.
AND MY FREAKING GOD HANA CRYING. HE'S CRYING. I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE HIM CRYING. NOT ANYTIME SOON. Takei might be a coward but Bridge said LET'S DO IT.
HIS TEARS WATERED MY CROPS CURED MY DEPRESSION AND CLEARED MY SKIN THEY MADE PANSIES GROW IN THE GS BECAUSE MAGIC.... I'M SO EMOTIONAL DON'T TOUCH ME
A
A A A
AI DA!!!
Then another part of me was waiting for suddenly get a shot of a certain place, cicadas crying, a close up of a motorbike stopping, and a cut face with a cute smirk on it with the text saying "to be continued..." but I guess that was also too much to ask and maybe they want to have RC and Marcos animated first and don't hype TSS much... Idk.
I got no merch in these three months and there's no announce of anything after Flowers ended so I'm sitting here still in coma with a respirator until something happens.
Thanks for reading my silly screaming each week if you made it this far I LOVE YOU ALL I LOVE YOU SHAMAN KING FLOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
