Kill la Kill

[Xelbair]

Honnō-ji is most famous for the Honnō-ji Incident. Oda Nobunaga lodged there before his invasion of the west. However on the morning of June 21, 1582, the traitorous forces of Akechi Mitsuhide surrounded the temple and set it on fire. Knowing there was no way out for him, Nobunaga committed seppuku along with his attendant Mori Ranmaru. Ranmaru's brothers also perished at Honnō-ji.

Now... is Ragyo parallel to Nobunaga, or is it someone else?


also in some other series I've heard phrase 'sen-i-soshitsu' - it probably used different kanji... but it was translated as a 'lost will to fight'.

That is correct, but it is sen i soushitsu (戦意喪失). Sen (戦) is battle, i (意) is will, and soushitsu (喪失) is loss.

This show uses 戦維喪失. It reads the same but the i word means something different. It is probably taken from the word sen i (繊維)which means fiber. It is a pretty clever pun now that I analyzed it.

IT'S OVER!

[vejita613]

I had a feeling it was going to be a lackluster ending, but I was hoping I was wrong. Atleast Nui was amusing as always.

Also, dammit Satsuki, why did you cut your hair???

[DarthEnderX]

Well, I called Ryuko and Satsuki each taking a scissor and cutting up Ragyo together. It just didn't end the fight.

[Ryllharu]

Well, I called Ryuko and Satsuki each taking a scissor and cutting up Ragyo together.

Oh yeah, it took a real genius to figure that one out.

I'd like to report that I called the series ending this week, and that Senketsu would somehow play a part in its conclusion.

[vejita613]

Not sarcasm but there is technically the OVA:

[DarthEnderX]

Oh yeah, it took a real genius to figure that one out.

I guess that makes me smarter than you then.

Obviously the next hint was that Ryuko is going to need the other half of the scissors, which will finally and thoroughly sever Ragyo's head from her body.

Wrong. Satsuki is going to wield the other half and they're going to cut her head off together.

Good call, especially since her katana has been broken.

90% of discussion happens on irc.

So... were you wrong?

I liked this, and it turned out to be worthy of being called the spiritual successor of TTGL. Senketsu even had to go in the end.

Marathonning always makes things better though.

[DarthEnderX]

WHY did Sanketsu have to go! Whyyyyyy! I kept hoping they'd show one scrap of him floating down in the end...but no...

I don't even understand what killed him exactly. I know he burned up in the atmosphere, but he can fly, even without the SSJ powerup, so I don't get why they had to just fall the whole way.


It was funny that she seriously went Super Saiyan for the final battle. Gold hair and everything.

[Buffalobiian]

WHY did Sanketsu have to go! Whyyyyyy!

I don't even understand what killed him exactly.

"Not making sense is what they're all about."

[vejita613]

So... were you wrong?

To be clear, I felt disappointed. But, now that I've had some time to think about it, I can't really think of any way for it to have an ending that I would have been satisfied with.

Accept maybe if Nui was actually alive and just trolled everyone. And then she randomly appears in the background while the credits rolled. I would be satisfied with that.

[DarthEnderX]

Yeah, I feel like Nui and the dark skinned chick both got away without really being beaten in a fight. They both just ended up as powerups for Ragyo, so there was never any, like, big one-on-one battle they got to have.

Did not Watch it yet.

just wanted to say how mean the idea was to put eyes on the sailor uniform. Now I see those every time such an uniform pops up in anime. Like Ao Haru Ride or others.
Truly a mean idea I can't unsee anymore, probably for a long long time.

[shinta|hikari]

...

Good epilogue.

[vejita613]

Screw you Hououmaru. How dare you cut such beautiful hair like that.

[Buffalobiian]

Screw you Hououmaru. How dare you cut such beautiful hair like that.

But thanks to her we saw Satsuki strung up again. Surely all is forgiven.

[DarthEnderX]

Oh hey, they addressed my complaint about the dark-skinned girl. That's cool.

I guess I somehow missed the part where Nui died.


Anyway, was a fun epilogue.
