Aaand here it is! The confession. At last.
Thankfully, it was just as expected. Yuu's straight-face confession and Tomori's non-phased "huh" reply. No blushing, no sidelines, just an agreement to come together after the great quest is done. "Keep your eyes on the horizon" kinda style, just with no unnecessary drama. Well done.
With the big brother no longer feeling all down and understanding Yuu's determination as well as goal, we pretty much come to an all-set picture. From here on, everything is reset and is seems like the story can enter a new progressive arc. That said, I really hope that will be the case. Finishing it all in a single episode would be virtually impossible if one wants to do it right. Since that's the case, I am really hoping for a second season.

I think it's kinda bullshit how Yuu is gonna loot the ability of every single wielder in the world. Even Nao said there are tens of thousands out there. It really does feel impossible.
Let's do the maths. He has 2 years approx left of having the power, with there being over 10,000 ability wielders overall. So that would take him around stealing abilities from 15 people per day.
But wait, there's more!
Is there any point in stealing these abilities? Two possibilities, both state that it isn't:
the new drug to stop the abillty has nearly completed what he did was to minium the damage to deal with of couse that is assuming every go like plan
by the time he go to china is might be the last country and he drop which can point out 2 thing
the girl is the last ability in china but that is hardly true
then he has not finish his mission but he has push down a main number of abillty so deal with the rest is more easy
The episode was great as always, but to be honest I am really curios how they're going to end the series in only one episode.
I mean traveling around the world to and loot all the abilities of every abilite-wielder in only one episode???
Either theres going to happen something big in the last episode or maybe the series will get another season ...but unfortunatly i think the first scenario is going to happen but there still hope
Madoka needs to take all the magical girls' power to end the suffering. Oh wait, wrong show.
This is exactly what crossed my mind. But it's important to recognize that Madoka was an omniscient being, so the feasibility was on a completely different level.
I really feel like it'd be better for the series to not compact such an endeavor into a single episode, and instead carry this thing through to a second season. But then I have to wonder where the focus would lie. Would we travel around the world with Yuu as he plunders away? Or would we hang out with the rest of the primary cast? In either case, the interaction between our protagonist and those characters would cease.
Best love confesion EVER! The ship will never sink and by far it's the best ship of the year. Also Yuu will become Ben 10... a better version of Ben 10.
But of course, knowing this anime and the man behind it... this will end poorly, Yuu will become literally a god and he will bring the apocalypse to mankind, that or perhaps there will actually be a happy ending full of feels... there's no more theories, no more ideas, now it's time to wait and see how this ends.
Still here's a last theory, I'm pretty sure the next episode will happen perhaps a couple of years or at least one year later... and they will show Yuu as a weapon able to surpass Metal Gear, and he will be already a demon...
And what was the point of the evil syndicate in the last episode, aside from causing these events in this episode to happen. Seems like an asspull...
Now that they know of a syndicate chasing after ability wielders, and there might be more of them, this event had Yuu decide to or not to plunder all abilities to save everyone but we all know this is impossible, even if they say he has more or less than two years left. Since he can no longer use time leap, this is his only option left that's why he's gonna fly overseas while the others save the ability wielders in Japan. I guess what we are only looking forward to now is if he will be able to stay himself or become a monster because of possessing to much abilities.
Personally, I think it would be a total bull if this ends well.
