DESCENDANTS OF DARKNESS-THE KYOTO FILE:PART 4 (FINALE)-EPISODE 13-3 STARS

This episode opens up with Muraki talking to an old high school friend named Oriya. You mean to tell me that Muraki actually left someone alive? Now Oriya showed his face in two prior episodes, but since his role was so minor, I didn’t bother to talk about him until now.

Muraki gives Oriya a key card to stall the shinigamis who will come looking for him, not only to kick his ass, but to get Tsuzuki back. And speaking of our favorite death gods, let’s check in on them right now to see if they’re making any progress.

Watari checks all the hotels in town, but Muraki is nowhere to be found. Eventually they track down Oriya, and demand that he tell him where Tsuzuki is. Oriya tells them that Tsuzuki is in the basement of the University, but they’ll need a key card to get in.

One of them will have to fight Oriya to get the key card, and Hisoka takes up the challenge. What? How is a 16 year old kid a match for this guy? So now they’re fighting with swords, but Hisoka looks like he’s on the defensive. All the sudden, he takes a couple of hits, but since he can’t die, there’s no reason to worry.

Oriya eventually puts his sword down, and admits defeat. This is interesting, considering the fact that I don’t remember Hisoka laying a hand on this guy. So they take the key card, and head over to the University to rescue Tsuzuki.

Well they better hurry up, because Muraki is about to conduct his head transplant on Tsuzuki. Imagine that, a head transplant, have you ever heard of such a thing? Well I really don’t think that’s gonna happen, since Tsuzuki gets free and stabs Muraki. Now why in the hell didn’t he do that a few episodes ago?

But Tsuzuki isn’t finished yet. Since he still feels guilty for the people Muraki killed, he decides to die also, and unleashes the flame of the serpent to destroy the two of them. But you know Muraki is a snake, and he’s not gonna die so easily.

Tatsumi wants to honor Tsuzuki’s decision to take his own life, but there’s no way in the world Hisoka is gonna let that happen. He breaks free from Watari, and goes charging into the flames to beg Tsuzuki not to leave him alone. Oh brother, I always knew Hisoka was nothing but a big cry baby. But hey, Tsuzuki decides to live, so guess Hisoka knew what he was doing.

However, the basement is burning down around them, so Tatsumi uses the shadow vacuum to rescue them but you don’t get to see him use it.

So my favorite shinigami lives, and everyone visits him in the hospital. As this series comes to an end, I must say I’m gonna miss those guys. While I would have liked to have seen more fighting from Tsuzuki, instead of him emotionally falling to pieces like that, how can you not love that guy? I’m gonna miss that dude!
