Answers. Finally.
For a 12-episode
anime, I'm glad that answers finally started rising. First off, I was glad that
a couple of my theories were correct. It's finally cleared to all of us that
Misaki, Mei is actually alive and well and what she meant that she
"doesn't exist" is explained. What I've been thinking about this is
that what's the reason why she was selected. Was it on random? I don't really
want to think of it that way. There must be some reason behind it.
Anyway, one big
question that came to me was probably the reason why Takabayashi died. I do
understand that he died because he's going to break a class rule (assuming that
the rule includes to never talk about Mei) since he did offer to answer all of
Kouichi's curiosities but what bothered me here is why is that? I think that
this goes back to the question why is all of this happening? Even Mei can't
explain this to us when Kouichi asked her.
After Takabayashi
dies, the next thing we know was that he was already isolated from the rest of
the class. The number one thing that came to me in here is that since Kouichi
seems to have been the number one cause of the deaths since he talked to Mei and
not talking to him could stop everything. OR could it? I believe that this was
added to the class rules. Anyway, Mochizuki wasn't stopped by the additional
rule (assuming that ignoring Kouichi has been officially added to the rule) and
even proved to us that Mei actually exist since he mentioned her in his letter
to Kouichi. Well, I won't summarize their conversation but Mei gave answers to
Kouichi's questions up to the things she knows. Or what she would like Kouichi
to know?
Other than these
two, what seems to have stirred my mind in here is when Mei said that there is
someone among their class that is a
ghost. Remember what's carved in her desk? Who
is dead? There're only a few recognizable characters in their class left
and I still can't make my mind up on who the heck it is :|
Now there're a
couple of big things that has been bothering me after this episode. First off,
from the previous victims, I'd say that those who die were actually the people
who'd mention Mei's name: Sakuragi whom Kouichi first said Mei's name to right
at episode 1, I believe she said Mei's name as well after Kouichi did (in a
freaked-out questionable manner); the death of her mother is out of my
knowledge but probably it's because people related to those in class 3 also
dies; next up is Mizuno who died last episode said Mei's name a number of times
since she's somehow helping Kouichi uncover Mei's identity or the mystery in
class 3 (she's not in class 3 but since her brother is, she's part of it as
well); now Takabayashi obviously died because he's going to answer Kouichi's
questions regarding Mei. I think it all makes sense but I can't be so sure. As
for Reiko-san who seems to be on the death row as well did mentioned Mei's
name, I'm not so sure which episode but I believe that she did AND finally Mikami-sensei
who's the newest person to be on the notice for death row is still a mystery to
me. Adding her to my list probably breaks my theory but she must have done
something OR is the series of deaths really random? BUT I wouldn't believe it
to be random. From what I've been thinking, it all boils down to Kouichi. Other
than the curse, Kouichi's interactions to other people triggers their death.
Could Mochizuki be next?
After going through
this assumption that the people who mention Mei's name dies, the question that
follows this is that why hasn’t Kouichi die? In fact, he didn't only mentioned
Mei's name, he even talks to her on a regular basis (by going to the doll shop).
I'd say that this has actually got something to do about his mother being part
of the class 3 Misaki (the one who died
26yrs ago) was in. It was also said that she died 15yrs ago (when he was
born) and it was also the same year that Reiko was in class 3 (I believe this
was mentioned in the earlier episodes). I'd like to assume that she died
because Reiko who was in class 3 is their relative. Now I'd like to see what
this relation's meaning to the entire story.
I wouldn't go on the
details of everything that happened but these things are probably the ones that
really caught my attention in this episode. If ever I missed a few seemingly
important points, please do tell me and I'll be glad to add them to my thoughts
and questions(:
