Hearing all this, as well as her apology for killing him, Biba seems somewhat at peace, and calls her Mumei once more. Biba stabs him through the heart cage.

MyAnimeList. The Koutetsujou, Biba’s Kokujou nowhere in sight, arrives at Kongoukaku and petitions for entry. So, the shogun killed the communications operator to keep everyone from panicking. ... save hide report. Yes, Ayame. So, really, to give himself the upper hand and prevent Ikoma from stopping the fused colony form of Mumei is all that makes sense. That Biba would then use it on a black blood fueled Ikoma in order to tip the battle his way is also pretty reasonable.

He says he doesn’t care. He does settle on one, however, and it’s a pretty good plan. Capture from the Crunchyroll stream.

Biba’s plan is chillingly effective. Mumei will become a fused colony to destroy the shogun’s city. The big surprise of the episode was, of course, Biba being a Kabaneri all along. He’s willing to kill himself to do it. Uryuu and other hunters sneak in, kill the guards at the main gate, and let the Kokujou into the city. Capture from the Crunchyroll stream. Most likely in an attempt to counter act the incredible strength it gave him, which is the only reason I can find. Just look at the Brexit vote in the UK, and the surge in racism, or right here in the U.S., and the success of the Trump Presidential candidacy, one based solely on fear, mistrust, and racism. He sets his course: spend his life saving the avatar of his little sister and destroying the monster that is Biba. Ikoma approaches, trying to tell her he is going to save her, but is stopped short as Biba arrives to block his way. But not in person!

Elsewhere, the Kotetsujyo gang is facing an angry mob, while locked in prison cells. It’s really cool. These things almost seem to back up Biba’s thoughts, and in a lot of ways, he isn’t really wrong.

Anything? Would have liked this better if Ikoma actually died at the end. The two fall into fist fighting, and Biba tries to dislocate Ikoma’s good arm, which just makes Ikoma even angrier. Biba’s plan was nothing if not thorough. The shogun has a bushi bring him a knife he found in Biba’s stash.

Soon, a shackled Biba’s kneeling in front of the shogun.

Plunging the injector into his heart, Ikoma convulses with power. No sense bogging down this post talking about the series as a whole, when the episode itself has plenty to talk about. So, what’s he do? A dying man awaits him. Not only did he know Ikoma would lead a revolt, it would happen on this exact day! Ikoma carves his way through Biba’s soldiers with almost savage fury, and when it becomes obvious that he can’t be stopped that way, Sahari orders snipers to look for a head shot that will end him. Others may say it was to save him, but I never got the impression Biba was really interested in doing such a thing, what with taking pot shots at Ikoma and getting ready to stab him through the heart, from behind, twice.

Does he owe Biba his life? The big thing, though, does come down to why Biba would give Ikoma the white blood. Well, Uryuu may not approve of mistreating prisoners, and he may have saved Kajika’s life (seriously, he gets a lot of points for that in my book!

Anyone can be kind, or loving, or generous, if their life’s not on the line. I’d argue he has more reason that Biba to go on a killing rampage.

I NEED TO KNOW. And he feels bound by the duty to protect his remaining friends from Biba. The ethereal wings begin gathering up Kabane and human corpses, just like Horobi’s spider-like arms did when she turned into the black smoke. When Biba’s idiot scientist worried that they would miss Mumei’s transformation, Kurusu couldn’t help but look at Ikoma. To his credit, Ikoma accepts this, and heads on alone. Takumi tries to get him to shut up, having seen more of what happened than Ikoma and knowing Enoku pulled a sword first. He’s not daft. Spider Stabber appreciates that his peaceful gesture and request for aid has been recognized as genuine, so he tells Ayame that both Ikoma and Kurusu are in the city, which surprises her to no end. It’s a big deal, really, as we see that Ikoma really has accepted that you can’t save everyone, especially those who don’t wish to be saved. As a Bushi, Kurusu is basically recognizing Ikoma as a peer. The injection begins to take over Mumei’s body as she looks out over the fallen city. He demanded the scientist tell him everything about the black smoke/fused colony transformation. Back near the palace, Kurusu catches up, because of course a whole hoard of Kabane wasn’t going to stop him, and finds Mumei back to herself, but Ikoma apparently dead. Another very effective and deadly tactic, I thought. Biba urges her to destroy everything, good and evil alike. He then injects her with the same thing he injected into Horobi. Kurusu, his prisoner the Hunter scientist in tow, finds Ikoma. Weak though she is, she tries to reach out to him. So, that said, on to the final episode of Koutetsujou No Kabaneri, or as I like to call it, Snowpiercing The Walking Dead. As soon as the shogun grasps the hilt to draw the blade, he feels a pinprick.

Sitting on the shogun’s throne, he remembers taking horse-back rides with his father. But they shouldn’t lose heart; he will protect them. Kurusu gathers Ikoma and they head out, Mumei giving one last look back at Biba, who she has covered with his cape out of respect. Either one works, really. Hearing a Kabane approach, he panics and hides in the remains of ship’s hull. They are obviously doomed to failure, too, until Ikoma and Kurusu arrive. Mob guy slowly backs down, unable to meet the intensity of her stare, and do not ever fucking tell me Ayame had no story arc or character development. Whether they aimed too high or not, I leave to other reviewers and commentators. Her perfect aim lands his body in the net, and she follows a moment later, easily making the landing, and getting a huge hug from Kajika.

Mumei begins to as she grows panicked and grief stricken, shaking him, crying, and begging him to wake up. The anime shows I blog about are shows that I enjoy personally, for my own personal reasons. Her story is that she and her whole crew captured Biba to bring him to judgement for what happened at Iwato. One of the mob points a rifle at Ayame and claims that she should be defending order. Episode Title: Burning Life Episode duration: 22 minutes and 54 seconds Streaming. Claudia’s Dad Did What? There, she flees a swarm of red butterflies as she hears the accusations made against her by others. But it was entirely within character. Sigh.

Are ye daft? Ikoma manages to wrest control of himself away from the virus once again, just in time for Sahari to come walking out of the smoke, and attack him.

Biba Amatori unleashes his plot on the shogun’s city Kongoukaku; Ayame has no good choice but to help him. Remembering that even a Goblin Champion was more than a match for him, how in the world can he, a silver-ranked adventurer, expect to prevail? Capture from the Crunchyroll stream. I think he’s trained all his life. Knowing who he was, knowing what he’d done, and they let him even near the shogun? Kurusu’s a warrior.
