Budo used Spirit bomb and Mine used SS Kamehameha....

>_>

<_<

Oooooookay. Moving on.

The character deaths in this really lacked impact. As much as Lubbock's death in the previous one was forced(I mean seriously, who planned that bed of blades for him?) this was just downright bad. Mine was hit from a considerable less powerful but still deadly dose of electricity and rammed against the jagged edges. This shouldn't have had such a prolonged affect, it would have been instant. I know it is supposed to be emotional and that the manga might do something similar, but this just screamed "forced". Then again, I have to wonder what is better; Deathflag raised but having a relationship anyway or a deathflag raised and not having one.

I know they are kids, but in terms of writing, which is better? "Hey, I've had feelings for you for a while so now before I die, here." This is a lame point I know, but they are assassins and Mine understands full well how Tatsumi's mind works, so this was a terrible plan even if it was a last wish. Don't get me wrong, it was depressing as hell and I'm an emotional sap. But this was still rushed.

If anime-only fans are finding this a farce, then obviously the scriptwriters have failed. Still, like I said before, it is acceptable given the circumstances, but this is something people are actually supposed to spend money on....
