Now, we take over from where we left off in episode 6, when Mimiko’s apartment was destroyed. But I don’t mean that she went home, and found her place was trashed, I mean it was demolished, like someone threw a million firecrackers in there, then ran.

Mimiko is able to stay calm about this recent turn of events, but Jiro is pissed off, and will eventually go to get his revenge on Auguste. See, if I was in Mimiko’s shoes, I’d have to ditch Jiro, I mean he’s cute and all, but she just lost her apartment, and she may lose her life!

And another thing, she might lose all her money too! Remember when she had to pay for those ice cream cones back in episode 5 ’cause Jiro was broke? One thing we know is that it doesn’t pay to be a vampire hero!

Well anyway, The Company decides to spank Auguste silly when they find them, but they need to figure out how to prevent someone else from taking his place after he’s annihilated. Cain reiterates to Mimiko that he can’t let Jiro stay in the Special Zone, ’cause he will continue to be surrounded by chaos and disorder.

Zelman decides to welcome Jiro into his house, ’cause he’s so cool, and he defeated the Kowloon King 10 years ago. Who knows, Zelman might have a hidden agenda, but we’ll just have to find out later what it is. Kotaro tells Mimiko that Jiro left to find Auguste, and the house leaders freak out, and decide to send in the Suppression Team.

Mimiko’s boss (Jennai), commands her to find Jiro, and stop him, since that is her job as a compromiser. I wonder has he even thought about what might happens if Mimiko gets hurt? Not like I care, but Jennai should! After all, she’s on his payroll, not mine!

Mimiko and Kotaro leave right away to look for Jiro, but now we have another problem. Cassa, a Kowloon Child, and the chick that murdered Jiro’s girlfriend has just been invited into the Special Zone, by her human brother? Good. ‘Cause I’m sure Jiro would love to kick her vampire ass all over the place!

Wait, we’ve got more troubles, there’s a Kowloon Child among Auguste’s crew, so now the Company leaders decide to have the Suppression Team get out their anti-Kowloon equipment. What a waste of time, remember in episodes 3 and 4 when they got their butts handed to them?

Lord Dragon is glad that Jiro is on the scene, and he states, “Through Jiro, we’ll live.” Now that sounds like a bunch of crap. They don’t want Jiro to stay in the Special Zone, but they want him to fight their battles. That’s total B.S

We’ll leave that argument for later, ’cause right now the fight between Auguste and Jiro is on. Oh, wait, I forgot to tell you that Jiro beat the crap out of all these vampires before he got to Auguste. Now that I’ve told you that, lets get back to the action. We find out that Auguste is the Kowloon child, spreading his nasty blood to the people in his group.

How nice, Jiro is gonna have a nice time owning another Kowloon kid, and rest assured, he does by stabbing Auguste in the heart with his silver blade. But wait, now there’s yet another problem, Cassa also has a kowloon child brother named Yafuri, and he’s come to take on Jiro. But Yafuri is just a kid, is he serious?

This is the final episode of the Suzumiya series, so I’m gonna have a party later, to celebrate the fact that I actually finished a series! Hey, I’m working on finishing the others don’t give me a hard time about it. Now in this episode, I don’t know what in the hell is going on.

In fact, I don’t think there’s even a plot, I guess it’s just an episode where they’re not doing anything special, just clowning around. Only thing is, I can see that anywhere, so give me a damn break!

Haruhi obtains a heater from the guy that owns the appliance store that sponsored her crazy movie. Only thing is, she is way too important to carry it herself, so she orders Kyon to go pick it up. Now Kyon tries to stand up for himself, by asking Haruhi why she won’t go get it, and she says that she has more important things to attend to.

Itsuki can’t do it, ’cause he’s a Deputy Chief, and I guess Yuki can’t do it ’cause she might actually slap Haruhi into the middle of next week. “Oh well Kyon, since you’re the club’s  doormat, I guess you have to do it.”

So now the rest of the episode revolves around Kyon traveling up and down hills in the cold to get this heater, and Haruhi taking pictures of Mikuru for the cover of her DVD. Ew. It’s a good thing that this is the last episode, so we don’t have to be around when she finishes her DVD.

In the last scene, we see Kyon, and Haruhi walking home in the rain. “Bye, you lame ducks, nice knowing you! Sorry it didn’t end so well, but you’ll have to take that up with the writer. And who knows, maybe it’s not over, just don’t stand around holding your breath.

I’m really gonna miss Yuki, and Itsuki. Yeah, I know Yuki didn’t talk much, but she’s smarter than Haruhi, and prettier than Mikuru. She had it goin’ on. Okay, so Itsuki was too laid back, and was always in a good mood, but don’t you need someone like that in your posse? Next on the anime list, more Black Blood Brothers, more Naruto, Descendants of Darkness, and Trinity Blood.

This episode was actually good, but since Haruhi gets her way in the end again, I had to take off 1/2 a star. The president of the computer club challenges the SOS Brigade to an online space battle simulator game called The Day of Sagittarius. I see he’s still pissed off that Haruhi bullied him out of his computer a few episodes back.

Haruhi must have developed Alzheimer’s or something ’cause she acts like she doesn’t remember the day she blackmailed them. “Well Haruhi, go back to episode 2, and you’ll see exactly what you did. Now to the terms of the game. If the Brigade wins, they will get 5 new laptops. If the computer club wins, they will get their computer back.

Is that all? Well, to even things out, Haruhi offers up Yuki, or Mikuru. What? Why is she trying to offer up her club members like that, why doesn’t she offer up herself? Actually, Kyon suggests that she does just that, and this is how Haruhi responds……..She states that she is the divine and sacred figure of the SOS Brigade.

Yeah, whatever. Now she did eventually offer up herself, but the computer club members decided to pass on that. That was a big mistake, ’cause just think of what they could have done to her if they won the game. They could beat the crap out of her on a daily basis.

They could make her scrub the floors, and go on lengthy errands. They could have her put on a maid outfit, and serve hot drinks. Man, they missed out on a perfect opportunity. Oh wait, I forgot about the closed space, so maybe we should forget that plan.

Haruhi accepts the challenge, and on the way home, Kyon tells Itsuki, and Yuki not to use their alien powers to win the game. Haruhi will just learn to accept the outcome, whatever that may be. Now Itsuki thinks that Kyon is just saying this ’cause he trusts that Haruhi will not create a closed space if her team loses.

But Itsuki tells Kyon that Haruhi trusts that Kyon will lead them into battle, and win the game. However, I don’t think this is the case. Haruhi is just a self-centered brat, and she thinks that life is about getting everything that you want, so Kyon really doesn’t have anything to do with this.

The Brigade gets one week to prepare for the final showdown. First day of training, they suck. Second day, they still suck. Third day, same thing, and so and so forth. Now the day of the battle has come upon them, and now it’s time to see just how bad the Brigade really are.

The computer club is racking up points right from the start, by using their hit and run tactics, and hitting the Brigade’s fleets from both sides. Yuki, the computer master splits her fleet up, but Kyon warns her again not to cheat, even though they’re getting owned right now.

Yuki responds by saying that it’s the computer club that cheating, by deactivating the scouting mode. This means that the Brigade can’t see the club’s positions, but they can see theirs. Now this is really retarded, why would the computer club feel the need to cheat, when they were the ones that developed the game?

Well, they dug their own grave, ’cause Yuki modified the program to assure equal playing positions, and the computer club ended up losing. So once again Haruhi wins, and she shouldn’t have. BOOOOOOOO!
