My lack of Japanese skill is really irritating me. I have been using an online dictionary and typing in the romanji of what I think they are saying to get a bare bones translation. I know enough about how things are spelled that this sort of works...save my ears don't always hear properly.
I want 8-10 to be subbed dammit. Unfortunately Kesenai Sub's translator has "run off" so no telling when the next one will come out.
I am ranting bevcause this anime has me itching to write a fic--actually I have started writing said fic. It is hard to do though when I think I know how the anime ends...but I don't know for sure. >_<

Raw Spoilers ahead

It looks like Marie Claire and Alan Claude both die...why? The old monk dudes might explain it...I can't understand them well enough to tell. They do mention the "shijin" which are the four celestial animals... I think maybe they were too damaged in the final battle so Aoi used all of their life to heal them...save Alan was not obviously hurt--or even in the battle--until he mysteriously shows up at the end of episode 9. Maybe he was beateb up whilst hanging with the homeless crowd? (Unlikely, he seems to be a very subtle badass--which makes sense since he is also a dragon) *shrug* Or maybe the blue shadow dragon supremely kicked his butt? I just don't know.
Do they all hurt because Tatsuma is gone? Then why are Kisaragi and Daigo ok? Daigo hurts which I assume is related to Tatsuma...but he recovers. Kisaragi never seems that affected. But the other two die?! I don't get it. <_<

So...I think Aoi confesses her budding love for someone at the end of episode 10. I think probably to Kyouichi because she calls him by name and is still referring to Tatsuma as Hiyuu-kun...but I don't know. Rawr.

Also I want to know what the big bad--aka--black dragon--says to Tatsuma. I think it's something along the lines of "I control you...I control everything." And Tatsuma replies with something along the lines of "But you won't control me." I want to know is Tatsuma possessed? It sort of looks like it because well the conversation appears to be going on in his head and his hair is all white. And where the hell is he anyway? It's obvious he is still fighting the bad guy...but they can't just have the main character get possessed and turn evil...can they? That would be sooo f'd up if they did that. >_< I don't like the idea of him having to eternally fight the bad guy either--he is a good person that deserves better than that dammit. <_<

Kyouichi flat out says he thinks Tatsuma will win the fight. I actually understood that part. He also clearly states he is going to look for him.
Then he is sitting in a tree and complaining...but what he says exactly eludes me...I can't understand it. I think it is something like "[you] are a bad person to stay away" though that is really heavy on the "think". Kyouichi mumbles...LOL. Then he sees a vision?? of Tatsuma. I mean what happens there? (The magical cherry tree of LUV~ xD )It cheers him up and he hops down and says something like " ja ne..." to the tree? to tokyo? to what? XD I swear it was something stupid like "magic city"...but surely not. That is too stupid and my translation skills too poor. His last words are something like "I'm waiting to finish our fight..." I'm assuming he is talking about the little dual they always have...but who knows.

Kisaragi makes a big speech and leaves town with Kyouichi. I'm assuming he is maybe going to help look for Tatsuma...but I don't know. I don't understand much of his speech soliloquy except that he asks for his grandfather's blessing/forgiveness at the end.

The last two episodes made me sad because they were flashbacks.
But the very last episode ends with a slight sign of hope.
I'm going to go ahead with this story because it is screaming to get out. I suppose it might just be AU if my guesses are all wrong.  *heh*
I have not abandoned GH btw...Tokyo Majin is just all fighting in an apocalyptic world which fits my mood at this time. I can't write romance when I'm so unhappy. I can write fighting and trauma though...so um yeah. That is what I'm doing.
