WHAT!? I’ve been reading all this time and… what? Joka… what?
Seriously. How does that work? Either this is one of the most cosmic series I’ve ever read, or something’s definitely screwy. Re-writing human history so thoroughly? I know that’s what they’ve been trying to do all along, relinquish control to humans and have magical beings withdraw, but… words fail me.
Words just fail me, Hoshin Engi.
And there was another sennin battle. Crap. At least this one was less about fighting and more about reasoning with crazy King Chu. And there was even a mini-battle between Dakki and Taikobo, though I hope we see a better one than that when all is said and done.
But I did like that Shinkohyo was the one to unload all that stuff on Dakki, based on “things he’d figure out.” That’s some insane figuring he’s done. As crazy and completely nonsensical as all that was, it was still appreciated. Did we really need such crazy motivation for Dakki? Not really.
This… I don’t even know. I don’t care about this war anymore. It looks like it’s over with, anyway. At least it dropped all this crazy stuff when the main plot was taken care of.
Seriously. That’s all I have to say. Anything else would be a spoiler. And… yeah, I didn’t see that coming. I’m sure nobody did. I don’t know that I liked it. At all. But it was certainly appreciated as a reward for sticking with the series all this time.
