I think I read somewhere that the show was originally intended to be darker so maybe Chisato really did die in the original cut, or something

Personally I find the notion that Chisato not getting the heart would be totally out of place in the show very strange, I think an ending where she still only has however long left to live and the focus is just on her and Takina continuing to live in the cafe like they were would be totally fine. That being said people have pointed out that we never actually see the inside of the case and that Chisato doesn't actually have a scar like the one Yoshi has after supposedly having the heart implanted, so yeah Yoshi is 100% bullshitting and the heart is literally just still in the case.

I mean I’m not sure how they’d implant a fake heart without cutting her open. Her not having a scar just felt like an aesthetic choice or because it was 10 years ago or whatever. My first assumption was that yoshi didn’t have the heart implanted as well, but not because of the lack of a scar. Mostly just cause it doesn’t make sense.

The second he didn't actually open the case to show it was empty after lugging it everywhere in his big dramatic reveal I immediately doubted he actually did it.

Fun 3rd option: Chisato gets Majima's heart and doesn't even need Yoshi's heart. That's wraps up all three loose threads nicely! And uhhhhhh Takina somehow gets Majima's super hearing and Walnut is made head of DA. Sure, why not.

I can't believe they managed to make Majima likeable by the end. Mika plays the long game.

The biggest sequel hook they left is will Fuki ever be able to finish a parfait The beach scene was amazing as was the pacing on the final fight. Great show easily one of my favorites of the year

I love the idea that Yoshi and Majima were trying to get the same reaction out of Chisato, but in the end your parents can never understand you like your rival.

that said while i liked the ending the crowd just instantly forgetting about the girl that got shot ten feet behind them is incredibly funny. seen worse plotholes but they could have at least given a throwaway 'oh, i guess that was a stunt!' line or something and then have a medical crew get to that girl now that the crowd's relaxed not a big deal or anything, just funny

i'd like to issue a formal apology to majima. even though i think your schemes are silly and probably the worst part of an otherwise wonderful show, you did end up being a good foil to chisato.

A big part of why Chisato/Majima works as rivals is they're allowed quiet moments to actually talk. Like the fight was really good but when they paused to drink juice and talk it was just really cool

To be honest I think it's a bit messed up that Takina and Chisato moved to Hawaii so they could legally get married but they didn't show us the wedding.

Chisato was also a really interesting protagonist, the perfect dodge stuff is the perfect ability to have her stand out

The thing about Majima, like all the best villains, is that he has a point. Oh, his methods are deplorable, but so are DA's. If DA were right 100% of the time, that'd be one thing, but we saw with the arms deal in the first episode that they sometimes act on bad information. Further, they often kill just to protect their own anonymity. Just look at Kusunoki ordering Walnut's death, or the higher ups ordering the LillyBells to wipe out the Lycoris. How many innocent people have gotten gunned down and "cleaned" because of bad intel or for being in the wrong place at the wrong time? If this show weren't about cute girls (with guns) doing cute things (sometimes with guns), DA would totally be the villains of the piece!

I like how action movies are a thing that keep being brought up, because those always have clearly defined good guys and bad guys and you always know who to root for. Here...not so much. Both DA and Majima have their hands stained.

I think it's important to note here that the entire conflict wasn't framed as something to win, but something to escape from. Just a bunch of reprehensible dumbasses murdering/traumatising each other and getting in the way of weekly board games at the café. It's why the main cast sodding off to Hawaii was the best possible outcome, with the hope that maybe one day Majima and their old Lycoris comrades will see reason and pop round for a paintball tournament and movie night. Leave the DA and the Alan Institute to keep being awful at each other half a planet away.

I find the Chisato/Majima dynamic interesting because in a way it’s an inversion of the usual hero/villain dynamic in that Chisato is fighting for her own values for her own satisfaction, while Majima is fighting for an ideology he truly believes in.

Wasn't really a fan of how the show handled Chisato's heart getting fried. It felt like she gave up too easily and didn't really care about how her death would affect the people that care about her, and everyone else rolled over too easily when she told them to leave.

I mean, she'd clearly long made peace with the fact, and everyone except Takina knew it was coming.
