And finished watching the movie K: Missing Kings...
Sad to see Daikaku die off, I'm guessing old age and maybe being away from the Dresden Slate played into it? He was the only real character that showed some testosterone in the series, so he'll be missed. But what saddens me more is that we didn't see much of him during the series as it was, so lamenting that more than anything.
So the new Red King is Anna, pretty much as expected. I'm still curious how the new King is chosen, as I don't think they need to be touching the Dresden Slate to make it work, so coincidental that it occurred where it did. That said, it seemed like she had been in denial for quite some time, so it was simply about acceptance at that point.
Right now we have two Kings at least that don't seem to combat ready (Shiro and Anna) besides whatever power they've been provided. At least Gold, former Red, Blue, and Green (maybe) seem like they're all capable fighters one way or another.
With that in mind, I'm curious what role being in possession of the Dresden Slate plays and it's proximity/touch other than providing Kings around some sort of unknown perimeter.
We'll see what the Green King's goal is and why he needs Shiro to do it (or kill him for that matter if that's his purpose). We need more chick ninja of course, that scene with Fushimi was abruptly cut, so not sure what happened there. Did she get detained or did she get away?
I also want to see more of what powers Silver's Clansmen have. A bit disappointed with Neko in her role in fights, she seemed a bit more useful early in the series, but as things got revealed she became more of a joke when it mattered. I know also that Shiro being away might be part of why Kuroh and company haven't really manifested Silver-like powers that I could see, but I'll be disappointed if have nothing to show for it once Shiro returns.
Wonder who'll take the mantle of Gold and Colorless as well, probably an unknown?
In all, it was a good movie in the vein of the series itself, with plenty of action to keep me entertained and certainly a good bridge to get into the sequel, K: Return of Kings.
