....Ki ni naru...SUGOKU ki ni natte kita °_°.
This is the first episode of the final arc and it develops as a build-up one, showcasing the political meeting between the Mu and the SD System hyerarchy.
Many things happen , and we are shown new sides of each character, or better said, their feelings lingering deep down come to the surface.
Tony cries crushed by the guilt of having killed a Mu, while Keith ponders on the possibility of Mu and Humans integration, and goes to meet Grand Mother to ask her a couple of questions. Mother hands him the total control over the situation, and, urged on by Keith's question, tells him the truth about the Mu...A truth the audience can only imagine, and it is a most shocking truth, if you were to judge based on Keith's reaction. (He almost collapses...if you read the manga you'll know what the truth is, and why he reacts this way..)
Meanwhile the Shangri-La is targeted, on its way to Terra, by 6 Megiddo weapons (!!) which rely on Keith's orders to be fired....but in the end are stopped. Instead of eliminating the enemy, he decides on having a proper meeting with the Mu and the SD delegates, which takes place on the Yggdrasil, the headquartes of Reborn, the organization from which SD stems, on Terra.
So the Mu reach Terra, and what an emotional moment it was, for the planet appearing in front of them is certainly not the blue planet dreamt by Blue and etched into Physis' memory.It is a polluted, dying , poisonous and almost uninhabitated place. The tears shed by the Mu were not tears of joy, but cries of desperaton and delusion brought by the sudden collapse of their hopes and wishes. It was a magnificent, if truly saddening moment.
Back on Terra, Keith reminisces Matsuka (I guess nothing will make me change my mind on the fact that he deeply cared about him :P) and reaffirmates his thoughts on why the Mu and the Humans couldn't possibly live together. It feels sad, but I do somehow share his pessimistic view on the humans. I'd actually be much harsher than him, actually...not only are we stupid, as a whole lot, we are also violent and scared of anything we don't perceive as"normal"...unfortunately ç.ç
Before the reunion takes place, Physis confronts Keith about Blue's death, asking him what his last words were, and earning a very direct answer "The gun is on the table". She trembles when she gets hold of it, and Keith asks her why do the Mu leaders always fight personally on the fire lines, instead of retreating as the Terran leaders do (Cough... He is either omitting himself from the bunch, or he has a selective memory...he did go meet Jomy and Blue personally :P)
Physis is not able to shoots him, and sadly says she can't feel any haterd towards Keith, even though he killed Blue. At this point Keith reveals (to the audience XD) that the reason for this, is that he was "made" from her genetic data.
Anyway...during the reunion Jomy enters Keith's mind, causing him to react abruptly and ask Jomy to join him in a direct meeting with Grandmother. The Mu are very much against this change of plans, but Jomy is firmly decided on resolving the matter once for all, and follows Keith down to Mother's place. On the way, he also says he's sorry for Tony's rash action, meaning his assassination attempt, but Keith thinks about Matsuka's death instead, and says Matsuka was just a chess piece in te game.-At which I felt , for the Nth time, a raw need to shake him furiously and yell at him not to disclose his feelings like this :P.-
Jomy then asks why his heart is soaked in tears and Keith informs him of Sam's death, a shocking news for Mu's leader.
And there they are, right in front of the door to Mother where Jomy questions Keith's acts as Mother's "dearest" one...and getting a quizzical answer from Keith "I was, until yesterday". What will happen now?
I am trying not to have any expectations about the last episode. I know the DVD version will be longer, and probably more accurate and will (hopefully) explain things better, so I'm approaching Episode 24 with a heavy heart, and not just because it will be the last, but because it won't probably be on par with the some of the series' best episodes .
That said, staff, cast and director-san...you're very very welcome to prove me woefully wrong.
Then again, I can fangirl about Tony's shower scene, or Keith's buttocks in the preview for next episode...cough ...I knew you had a great backside Anyan XD
