Last disc...I can't believe we're almost done.
"Warrior or Slaughterer?"
Black Star and Mifune begin their final fight. Mifune talks about the path of the warrior and the path of the demon, and asks Black Star which path he chooses. Mifune sees the look in Black Star's eyes, and recalls his battles with White Star, Black Star's father. White Star was an assassin so determined to win that he became a kishin. In the end of the episode, Mifune thinks that Black Star chose the demon path, and deals a lethal blow.
Meanwhile, the final magic tool turns out to be Eibon's soul, and we're given Eibon's backstory. Excalibur shows up to help explain and is simply there to observe.
I'm astounded at how much Black Star has grown on me. His bull-headed determination, while at times a flaw (what isn't), is pretty damn inspiring.
"The Miraculous Coffee Table Flip"
Black Star chooses neither the path of the warrior or demon, but his own, and defeats Mifune. Mifune asks why Black Star doesn't finish him off, and Black Star reminds him of Angela and the Tsubaki's idea of him teaching at the academy. And yes, they did do the "samurai charging at each other and finishing each other with a final slice" thing and it's awesome. And I like that Black Star helps Mifune out.
While that happens, Eibon unlocks Brew, which gives someone the ability to do basically whatever they wish. So Lord Death uses it to turn Death City into a giant, walking, fighting mecha. Yes, I just wrote that. And guess what? Mosquito reveals that Arachne's castle is also a moving robotic bug. And they fight.
Kid: "What? This is insanity!"
Liz: "This can't be happening!"
Patty: "This is SO COOL!"
Just sums everything up. And in the end, Lord Death gets Asura and eats him, as a giant robot. This is a thing that happens.
I can't believe it took me this long to realize that this show gives almost no fucks.
