They finally did it

[Oldtrekker77 · 9/10 · 30 March 2021]

They did it, they finally did it. As audience member we all knew Chiaki was not going to survive the series and all I can say that this could have been a perfect episode but there where a few things that just knock it down a bit. For one thing the story arc that Kuzo is gay for Munakuta just came out of nowhere. I already thought the love triangle arc they had going was undeveloped, but I feel this just makes it worst. Now let us talk about the main highlight of this episode Chiaki's death. Not only does she get killed she gets tortured. She is put in a dungeon and is slowly hurt by all type of Indiana Jones style traps. All this is being done while her fellow classmates watch, and Junko taunts her. I am really not a fan of Junko taunting her as I feel that it really takes away from scene and I would wish she would just shut up. This episode saving grace is its final scene. Chiaki dying words as she talks to Izuru who she once knew as Hajime is not only heart breaking but its by far the saddest scene in the whole series. I highly recommend this episode as I think it is one of the best episodes in the despair arc.
