Alt Title - Sooo... is Kurosaki infected too?

I guess the moral of the day is to not be around Chihiro when he freaks out.

I'm not totally sure where I land on this episode. It (rightfully so) feels like Kobayashi is arranging her pieces on the chess board to set up for one big final attack. And that's why this is the penultimate episode. You don't want anything too major here, since you need to save it for the next one.

I was worried that Jin would not recognize Nanaha. I'm genuinely glad that case of mistaken identity was not protracted any longer than it was. And I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed that Jin was not more conflicted over the matter. Since it puts his creed and his values in direct conflict. I guess since there's only one episode left, we can't dwell on that too much, the plot needs to move forward. But it would have been nice if he were felt a little more conflicted.

Hopefully we get some answers on what happened to Nanaha and Iyu. I'm honestly not sure what to make of her. Is she there? Is she not? Did Iyu ask to be turned into a zombie robot?

Mr. Business is back. Will he and the rest of the upper level staff get some comeuppance for their roles in this whole tragedy?

Stay tuned next week to find out!

Edit: Oh, that's interesting. I didn't notice that Shidou and the rest of the old exterminators regretted their decision. Them admitting it was a mistake sort of acknowledges some of my complaints from the first season ending being a bit naive.

Edit 2: Is this a continuity error? Fudamori says Mizusawa has one Heavy Scattershot, but she has two. She fired one at Nanaha and then she showed one to Haruka.

Edit 3: Chihiro has a cellphone and this is the first time someone's called him?

Hey Tachibana... Go have coitus with yourself, crippled jackass. Fudamori, good job on being the acting leader. I hope to give you the perfect "Me time" massage you'll never forget.

That's it, Kurosaki. You're ready to go onto the deep end of killing these monsters. Come on, just a few more steps and then you'll be like a badass normal version of Jin, shooting down monsters with your one-handed rifle style shooting.

Jin, perplexed that you're not conflicted with your lover's new form. So be it. Fulfill your duties, hunter. If it's done, I hope you don't lose it after all that.

Unlike a high majority of the Kamen Rider subreddit page subscribers, I do feel sorry for both Chihiro and Iyu. Kobayashi-sensei, if you so intend to kill Neo and Crow, so be it. Tragedy is a recurring theme in this season, may as well end their story with a downer. I want to believe those two will escape death but it'd be futile to guess the future.

Of NPS and Mamoru: Old Yeller, Here Yeller, Comeback Yeller, the best doggone dog in the West...

Alright episode. Whatever happens next, I hope it ends at least bittersweetly.

Considering how destructive they are, I assume they area capable of monitoring active rounds. Probably means she has one left.

Pretty great episode. Loving the setup for next week.

Goddamit Chihiro. Good going deliberately triggering your zombie waifus PTSD.

[Kurow]

Oh my! this show can't get any better.... I loved Iyu on this episode and It is too sad that she only have 5 or 6 more hours of life left...

The actors really made this show so good. Such a great cast...

The preview was great too and I can't wait for the final episode.

2017 have been such a great year so far!.

[Ashki]

Every time I think the show can't get better, I get blown away. Obviously, I'm praying Iyu can escape her fate, even if it means sacrificing an arm to do it. It's also hard to believe everything can be wrapped up in only one more episode. The original Amazons will likely go extinct this season, but we obviously still have infected out there, and I feel like we may be missing something important. That comment about how you can't stop things once started an ep or two ago really has me wondering. Personally, I'd love to see a third season that goes in both a nw and old direction, much as this one did compared to s1.

Ugh... One more week before finding out how horribly this ends and whether Iyu's armlet is also the reason she acts like a zombie when she's actually still alive or if that's a mystery we'll never solve...

[Zerato]

I love how they're handling Iyu "coming back to life." I'm really eager to know how they'll finish her story.

With that being said, I'm even more excited for the 3-way Amazon Rider fight. After the admittedly kinda lackluster fight between Alpha, Omega, and Sigma; this one had better step up to the plate.

I'm calling it now, Kurosaki is going to take the scattershot from Mizuki, fire it at Chihiro and Iyu, and Hiroki will notice and jump in front of it; sacrificing himself to save his friends. I really hope the series has the balls to do it.

We've reached the final point. Let's close this series out on the highest note imaginable.

[WannaFantaMan]

Whelp, I've officially freaking out for the last episode. WHY CAN'T IT BE HERE ANY FASTER!?!?!?!?!?!?

Not likely to help. The scatter shot wasted five Amazons and mortally wounded Mamoru so it would go through Hiroki as if he was tissue paper.

My impression is that she acts like a zombie because she was in a catatonic state from the shock of the attack by her father.

Fair enough, though I'm still convinced he'll die in the next one.

[Revorse]

This show just is amazing. Seems like we're gonna have some pretty intense fights for the final episode. I wonder if we're going to get more than the typical 30minutes. We have 3 different fights to conclude as well as wrap up story stuff. Also Nanaha's actor looks too cute on the homepage. She's really a beautiful woman.

[fenrir]

such a very tragic life for chihiro and iyu.
would really wondering about nozama pharmacy continuity and those higher ups.

awesome series, great moral dilema and grey area.
looking forward for the ending. hopefully it would be BEST!!

By the way, is Iyu's song a real song or was it created for the show? I would be curious to know the name if it is a real song.

[takenoko]

As far as I can tell, it's a song created just for the show

[Izanagi_Izanami12345]

The episode is like the calm before the storm, except not really

[iori93]

What I like about this episode is they realized that they have made a mistake when they let Mamoru go, but no one dare to admit. I'm on Alpha side, from the end of season 1 I really mad when they protect Mamoru and attack Alpha, thanks god now you guys know what you have done
