Also, Matsu adding that an attack like that would be enough to take out Karasuba gave the impression that the tides had turned.

Musubi only managed to break KarasubaвЂ™s katana before her sudden burst of power faded however, everyone rallying to her side after Minato dove in to try and protect Musubi was pretty moving to see with the song playing in the background. While I held onto the firm belief that Karasuba wouldnвЂ™t take advantage of the situation and actually kill anyone, I loved how the desperate feelings quickly turned into ones of hope when Musubi went flying towards her to end their fight with the very next exchange.

( Sung by none other than MusubiвЂ™s Hayami Saori.) I was seriously having a case of dГ©jГ vu from seeing Karasuba take the same approach that Cell did to awaken GohanвЂ™s Super Saiyajin 2 in Dragon Ball Z, complete with a вЂњChange the WorldвЂќ insert song as soon as Musubi kissed Minato and powered up. There was also MatsuвЂ™s analysis that Musubi has no chance of beating Karasuba in her current state, KusanoвЂ™s earnest cries for them to stop, Karasubi thinking about cutting up Minato to drive MusubiвЂ™s anger over the edge, and everyone trying to intervene to no avail to really give off a sense of a hopeless fight. Nearly half of the episode was dedicated to that scene, so it was nice to see them make it pretty suspenseful with the music and MusubiвЂ™s shirahadori ( barehanded blade catch). It may have been six on one, but no one was really in any condition to help out after miraculously surviving the towerвЂ™s collapse, so all they could do was look on as Musubi struggled against Karasuba alone. While nothing came from their fight, I did get caught up in the helpless feeling that had taken over MinatoвЂ™s Sekirei. Things were left pretty open-ended with Musubi and KarasubaвЂ™s exchange at the end, though it was pretty cool to see Yume awaken within Musubi and kiss Minato so that she could unleash the powers of a Norito. Following the collapse of Teito Tower and the conclusion of this second season, the вЂњto be continuedвЂќ message at the very end left the door open to a possible third adaptation.
