This is the oldest I've ever been.
I HAVE AN ICEPICK
LET'S SEE WHICH I STAB FIRST, MY COMPUTER OR MY FACE
Kanon and sisterluster have a chat, and a totally sweet moment where she thanks for him everything. I'm not 100% sure, but isn't that that a Japanese custom where girls thank their fathers before they get married and move out? I've seen it in a few other dramas.
Subaru wants to take Kiyoka to Europe. *claws at face* WHY IS THE EGGNOG GONE?
"There's always been one person in my life. Someone I loved for over 10 years. But that person hasn't noticed it." Jesus, that's only exactly what Ruka said to Michiru. This woman is digging through her own trash for new material. (Actually, that would explain her entire career... )
"There's a person that I like... and...
Oh, nevermind."
ALCOHOL. I NEED ALCOHOL TO GET THROUGH THIS. Or perhaps a tranquilizer.
"Um, honey, could you look a little more thrilled?"
NO, BECAUSE IT'S TIME FOR THE SUICIDAL EX-COMATOSE FIANCEE TO CRASH THE WEDDING.
There is an extremely tasteful action sequence...
But her plunge is no match for Wonder Woobie! Behold his miraculous sav--
Well, shit.
And in next week's issue -- OH WAIT! I AM FREE AFTER THIS! ONLY A HALF HOUR TO GO! *breaks out champagne*
In the hospital, Sisterluster comforts Kanon and enjoys her fragile, needy body a little too much.
AND SUBARU CONFESSES. WHILE JUNYA IS UNCONSCIOUS. "The person I like is you." WHO CALLED EVERY SECOND OF THIS SHIT? The plane tickets to Europe, to conveniently remove himself from the love triangle and sidestep any need to address his sexuality, and the bedside confession with no actual plot repercussions, because god forbid these characters face real-life issues that can't be solved in forty five minutes. "The person I like is you, no matter what people think of it." PEOPLE CAN'T JUDGE YOU IF THEY DON'T KNOW. This isn't just staying in the closet, it's setting up camp there.
Don't get me wrong, I have no business judging people who make the the highly personal decision when, if ever, to come out. But I hate, hate that AT constantly idolizes repressing your homosexuality as some noble self-sacrifice.
You know what I think? I think she didn't dare have Subaru really confess, not for his reputation, but for Junya's. He's the "pure" character who can't be tainted with Subaru's filthy deviance, because if he knew Subaru's feelings he'd have to respond one way or another -- whether by rejecting them (which upsets his squeaky-clean image of the good guy, or corrupts his innocent love, if you will) or even accepting them (thus immediately turning into a dildo-waving drag queen named Junebug, because we all know that's what gay people do).
Of course, Junya's not really dead.
He is, however, a vegetable who looks strangely like Massu.
AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! IS THIS HOW YOU GET OFF, AT? IS THIS THEIR REWARD FOR ALL THEIR SUFFERING? DO YOU JUST SIT AT HOME AND THINK OF THE WAYS YOU CAN DESTROY HAPPINESS?
Kanon puts Junya to bed, who accidentally smacks her.
... because AT just has to hit every goddamn space on the neverending wheel of torture. Is this a fetish? Does she like battering women?
This scene is so sweet, as long as you don't remember that four episodes ago sisterluster took a hammer to his face.
"Dear heavenly father, please forgive me for stabbing both my parents and lighting them on fire. PS, in the interest of full disclosure, I'm in love with my sister."
SERIOUSLY. The talk here was pretty much a CONFESSION. "I've never really asked for my sister's happiness. When I tried to hope in my mind, there was always something inside my heart that interferes with it." Unspoken: BECAUSE I WANTED HER FOR MYSELF! AHAHAHA!
Kanon and Junya are on a date, and Junya spots a red balloon. You know what's coming, right? His first word since the accident: "Kiyoka... "
Kanon knows what she must do: SET HIM ABLAZE! Let him go.
FLAMES. FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE. By this point it's a habit of our so-called heroes to pass around their disabled charges like candy. No, she's mine! No, you can have her. Oh, but she always loved you anyway. Hey, since they both have the self-sufficiency of suicidal toddlers, do you think we should leave them alone together without supervision? I'm sure it'll be fine!
BUT WAIT! Junya puts on a show for Kiyoka... and it's his and Kanon's song.
His playing grows more forceful as he's flooded with memories of her, because true love overcomes head trauma.
JUNYA REMEMBERS! You know what this means!
DRAMATIC RUN: THE SEQUEL!!!
SHIT LADIES, HE'S FASTER THAN A TRAIN! THIS IS THE POWER OF HIS LOVE! TWO TICKETS TO RIDE HIM ALL NIGHT LONG!
See, this is where all the stalking comes in handy, because you'll magically know where your true love is hiding better than a GPS.
THE WOOBIE FACE. You know he's back!
And Kanon's outside!! And!!!
Love their wedding rings shining in the sun. God, Kitagawa Yujin looks like he gives the best hugs.
AND!
AND!
AND!
YEAH!!!! BRAIN DAMAGE IS NO MATCH FOR WONDER WOOBIE AND PYRO PRINCESS!
You actually see his lips open and close! My god, this is Japanese porn.
WATCH OUT YOU CRAZY KIDS, GOD IS WATCHING!
And they have a sweet, loving, dead-end life together, Kiyoka doomed to be nothing more than a burden because her unchallenged dependence on Subaru will never give her the opportunity to begin relationship or family with an equal (hey, I've seen Daisuki!!, I know it can happen), and meanwhile Subaru will quietly suppress his true identity and waste his life on a woman who will never be anything more than an obligation, a woman he admitted twenty minutes ago that he has never loved and will never be able to. Because she is lacking Junya's penis, you know, which is the shining mecca of Subaru's entire existence.
AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
THEY PUT MIZUKI IN CHARGE OF CHILDREN. AHAHAHA! My first reaction was awe: "Oh my god, she's raising an army." In ten years they'll all change into robots and enslave earth. No one expects the Japanese Inquisition!
Sweetness! Hand holding! I kept expecting one of them to get hit by a runaway bus, because I couldn't believe Asano Taeko gave her OTP a happy ending!
And in a truly awesome moment, you know the part of the opening where it always cut off? Well, turns out it was to hide Junya and Kanon making a baby for Jesus. THE END. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
