Of blood and nice boat.

If someone prays for patience, do you think God gives them patience?
Or does He give them the opportunity to be patient?

If someone prayed for courage, does God give them courage?
Or does He give them the opportunity to be courageous?

If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings? Or does He give them opportunities to love each other?

The quotes above are taken from the movie ‘Evan Almighty’. I’m not sure if I mis-typed any of it. Anyway it carries the same meaning so... No sweat.

Yeap, this movie is kinda touching for me. The time spent to torrent the DVD version of this movie is not wasted at all. :)

*******

Take a look at this picture:

The 2 girls looked very caring and loving and [insert praise here] isn’t it?

But it didn’t turn out to be that way.

The main character for the anime – School Days – Makoto Ito happened to be one of the millions and millions of assholes in this world. When I mean assholes, I mean a two-timer. Nobody likes that, I just don’t get what is so fun in being a 2-timer. For Makoto’s case, he’s more than just a 2-timer. This is how the storyline goes, there’s no point criticizing it.

Despite that, many people are still following the course of the anime, including me. For me, I will just read the summary from Random Curiosity as I find the episodes getting more and more boring. Like many others, I await the final episode, and it is available in torrent sites today.

Why did I say so? It’s because he slept with almost all the girls in the anime, including one of the two girls shown in the picture – Saionji Sekai and Kotonoha Katsura.

Since the first few episodes, many people commented that a guy like him should just burn in hell. I seconded that and will be very pleased if he dies a horrible death. My wish came true; in fact, the majority’s wish came true. He died in the end; stabbed to death by the girl whom he made pregnant – Saionji Sekai.

This is how Makoto Ito died:

Approaching him, using a short message to apologize and wishing him goodbye.


Here, Makoto is screaming in agony.


This is the n’th number of stabbings.


The blood is black in colour.


That ends the tale of the legendary-multiple-timer – Makoto Ito.

*******

Kotonoha Katsura is the kind of girl that carries a peaceful tone with a killing intent. After realizing that Makoto Ito died from multiple stabs, she proceeds to severe the head of Makoto Ito and placed it in a bag. If I am asked why she did that, maybe she’s just lonely and wants her dead boyfriend’s company.

She confronted Saionji Sekai at the rooftop by sending her a sms using Makoto Ito’s handphone. At the rooftop; by the way she talk, you can sense a peaceful aura around her, it’s like there’s happiness and heaven and nothing else BUT the aura is overridden by her killing intent.

The rooftop, nostalgic as it is, used to be the place where the trio – Makoto Ito, Saionji Sekai and Kotonoha Katsura had lunch together. One died from stabbing; the other will die from being cleaved. The remaining two faced each other and only one will leave the rooftop alive.

As the story goes, Kotonoha Katsura slashed Saionji Sekai and left her corpse at the rooftop to rot.

Here’s how it happens:


This bag contains the severed head of Makoto Ito.


Katsura-san’s Cleaver (+10)


Parrying the knife carried by Saionji Sekai.


Initiating the first slash… with a calm look on her face


On the neck of Saionji Sekai; Blood spluttered out.

Besides being the girl with a peaceful tone and a killing intent, she stays loyal and still clings to the remains of the dead Makoto Ito – his head. She took his head with him everywhere she went including the proposed trip on the yacht with the two of them only. She got what she wanted; she was with him his head alone.


On my own, pretending he’s beside me…

It sure is nice to have such a loyal girlfriend. But to the extend of carrying the head of your dead boyfriend is definitely a no-no for me and for many out there.

Somewhere within me, I hoped for a happy ending like maybe the main character gets to be with one of the 2 girls instead of this 2-in-1 gruesome ending (Saionji Sekai stabbing Makoto Ito + Kotonoha Katsura slashing Saionji Sekai). Maybe it’s because I’m exposed to too many heart-touching animes and movies, thus causing me to cast aside gruesome or brutal shows.

The down-side of this final episode is there are no sound effects of the stabbings and slashing. It is replaced by flashbacks and background music instead.


Anyway, nice boat. Isn’t it?


The rooftop will be left empty from now onwards.

Offtopic: SK did mention that Kotonoha Katsura finally smiles at episode 11.

Looking at this smile, it felt so cold and brutal now - the intention of killing hidden behind a smiling shell.

P.S: You can read the summary of the whole episode in Random Curiosity too.
