OH MY FUCKING FUCK FUCK JUST LOOKING AT SCREENCAPS OF SHIROI CRYING ALMOST MAKES ME CRY. THISCLOSE TO SOBBING MY EYES OUT, WHAT THE HELL.
ROCKS FALL EVERYONE DIES PLEASE JUST SO I CAN GLUE MY HEART BACK TOGETHER WITHOUT GETTING SNOT ALL OVER IT.
(But I have my bets on Shiori going first, somehow, maybe through someone else's murder; an accident? and then Naruse following. Damn, this icon is so inappropriate, but I don't have any other Maou ones. ;_;)
OH GOD I WILL HATE THE ENTIRE WORLD. I can see it, that's the problem. "I'll meet you... in the next life. (tear-filled smile)" You know Shiori's actress would work the shit out of it, too. Not a dry eye in Japan.
"I'll meet you... in the next life. (tear-filled smile)" The writers for the show are probably looking at this right now and going, 'Damn, she figured us out!' DDDDDD: WHICH DOESN'T BODE WELL. I'll be cleaning out all the comfort food in my fridge during this finale, dammit!
TINY, WINGED MAOU BABIES FLOATING AROUND THE CREDITS?
Have I told you lately that you're a terrible person? XD
it doesn't seem quite fair that Naoto evaded rightful punishment yet still brings it on others
So...what do you call what he went through this episode? (And in previous ones with his friends dying, but it keeps getting worse.) If that's not more than enough punishment for being a bully and accidentally stabbing someone, I don't know what is.
I really wonder how they're going to tie all this up. It seems like someone's got to die (possibly multiple someone's, even), and I would guess Naruse since the redemption through death thing is quite common, but who knows at this point? I just hope it ends well and not with a stupidly unresolved jdrama ending.
That's why I said "rightful punishment." Legal punishment. Disproportionately hurtful revenge plots need not apply. XD Don't get me wrong, I think he's suffered more than enough for being a bully, but I can understand Noriyoshi's anger as well. It's okay to disregard the law when little brother needs it, but not for him? It's okay to become a detective and dish out the very thing you avoided?
Since the drama's (supposed to be) following Mawang, I have hope the ending will be decent. Though they have a lot of resolve...
Well, what I'm wondering, not knowing anything about Japan's legal system, is what the rightful punishment would be. If he'd told the truth instead of pleading self defense, it would still have been probably the equivalent of involuntary manslaughter, which is hardly a high crime, especially for a kid. Again, I don't know how it works in Japan, but I can't imagine he'd get much of a punishment for something like that. On the other hand, an adult murdering someone in an intentional and premeditated way is likely to get (and deserves) a much more significant punishment.
I hope so. I don't know how closely it's following the original (or if the original had an ending I would've liked), and it does seem like there's a lot to resolve, but I have hope. XD
But that's the thing, isn't it? We'll never know, because he never told the truth, and as such he's never legally faced any consequences. Meanwhile he carts Kasai and Noriyoshi off to jail to make up for his own sins, the very people who covered for him, facing what he lied his way out of. I can see why his brother is stunned and hurt by the hypocrisy.
I'm worried about that too. XD Yay if it's a faithful remake, but what if the Mawang ending sucked?
As for why he doesn't sit in therapy somewhere - he has had a purpose, all this time. Revenge can get you through much where you'd normally give up. Let's see what happens when his purpose is taken away from him.

And he wants to just do the village segments on DASH. TOTALLY NOT SURPRISED. (actually that one may just be exciting for me? But I love how into the village he is and the fact that he totally just wants to be a farmer. A surfing farmer.)
The fact that Taichi gets drunk and thinks he can take on Yamaguchi in a physical contest is ADORABLE.

It could happen! The ankles are a very sensitive area, one good bite and you might topple Gussan like a boulder.
(Can you imagine this man when his kid gets a little older? He'll be scaled and climbed on and the boy will camp on his shoulders and swing from his arms and and *ovaries explode*)
