:wow:

God to give credit to Nico. It was nice for him to realize that he couldn't betray what Ichico taught him, even if it meant bringing her back. Ghost basically breaking the rules just felt dirty. He gave Andy the one shot he needed to bring back Fuuko. Nice moment for Mico to help bring Fuuko back. You can't blame Nico because he looked at what he lost instead of what he had. Though knowing she will be ok because Mico if their daughter was a nice moment. As Fuuko wakes up she realizes all the people who died. I guess it is not surprising to see Fuuko lack confidence. Although as Tatiana mentioned what Billy believes. Fuuko is the one needed to go against God and is needed to jump in the loop instead of Juiz.

As Ruin comes to destroy the roundtable, we have Tatiana getting help from Andy, Fuuko and Billy. We finally get a reveal of what his ability is and that is Unfair. The meaning behind this is interesting. An ability that would allow him to copy other abilities does seem unfair, granted as Andy showed us, specialization is one thing Billy lacked. However, for Billy the activation of his ability might be unfair to him. It requires the target to hate him and view him as a threat. We see that Billy no longer has the Undead ability since Andy no longer views him as an enemy like he did during the Spring arc. Rather than being a max of x abilities, it simply needs to meet the conditions. Although looking back at him using Unchange makes you wonder how it works with the dead like Gina. Though the real pain for Billy is that he needed to make the negators hate him to use their abilities. It is a tragic part of Billy's character because he was someone who forced himself to play the villain because that is how he could make the most of his abilities against God. After all, Under would never hate him in the same way. Also, looking back, this is why he didn't use Unjustice against Juiz. Towards at the end of the Spring Arc, he must have realized getting Fuuko to hate him would be impossible. Though for Billy to realize that Andy truly is a good guy and much like us since he came across as an a$$hole.

Despite all of that, Billy does make his way to fight Ruin. Utilizing Unmove and Unchange truly maximizes Billy's skill. Alongside using Unstoppable. Though the fact that Billy got Ruin to hate him, but saying he is nothing like Andy shows how smart Billy is. He knows he holds his value what he is to God, but since Juiz didn't know of Ruin that would imply his worth compared to Andy was lower. It was checkmate once the conditions met for him to be able to use Unruin. Billy truly shines as a great character in this series. It feels like at the end of the 100th loop for him and Tatiana to be back together smiling.

Before the 101st loop begins, Juiz explains some important stuff to both Andy and Fuuko. Though we truly see what Fuuko granted even she knows what she wants isn't realistic. It indicates that she understands that her ideals aren't for the best because hardships are what allows a person to grow. For Fuuko the pain of her Unluck is what ruined her life until she met Andy. It makes so much sense what she wants to push for is to get rid of these negator abilities. These spawn and only brought misfortune in their lives.

The artifact remembers is an important tool for Fuuko going forward. Which is the thing stuck onto Andy's head which seals Victor. Essentially, the way it functions is that it either continues or resets a person's memory. Though it is interesting that Andy was also founded in this 100th loop since that artifact is what created Andy. We can recall the frustration between Juiz and Victor. Victor tired of the failures and seeing Juiz suffer. While Juiz wanted to push forward to make Victor happy. It is heartbreaking that their love for one another is what pushed them apart for the current loop. For Juiz to go from wanting to continue to resetting Victor must have been hard.

In many ways, Juiz and Victor are the parents that brought Andy to this world. It does raise the question of why did Juiz not stick with Andy because, as we know with Andy's past, he suffered so much. He just wanted to die, but couldn't. Despite those frustrations him thanking Juiz because if it wasn't for her, he would never have met Fuuko. It's because of that, they push forward with optimism. Two beings that wanted to die found happiness meeting each other.

Man, shyt hits deep :mjcry:. Act II time

For much of this series there has been a clear parallel between Fuuko and Andy's relationship compared to Juiz and Victor. Though it is interesting to see that Juiz gets as emotional as Fuuko despite the strong front she puts up. Though the key thing here is that to loop they need Fuuko to stay at the roundtable for 11 mins. With Ragnarök staring we finally have God revealing themselves.

Though the most interesting thing is that there are two Gods. The Sun and Moon. Well, Luna is the one that communicates to Juiz and Fuuko now. Essentially, the Sun God makes the rules and creates the UMAs. While Luna creates the artifacts. Though between these two Gods they have a side, they go for. While it is clear that the Sun God is awful, as we can see in the Spring Arc. Luna is more interesting. On one hand, she is on the humans side, but things are more for her amusement. In many ways, she is just as awful as the Sun God, but in a different way. Learning this and watching the fight in Fuuko's position, and she truly sees these people are just a game for these two Gods. She also understands what Juiz went through in the previous 99 loops. There is no doubt Juiz is happy for once that she can fight and not be watching her allies die.

It has been quite awhile since we have seen Victor and will be the first time he is fighting side by side with Juiz. It's clear that Victor and Juiz have a special relationship and for Victor, where this will be the last time the Juiz he remembers will be and no doubt he wants to be by her side. Tbh I doubt Andy really believed that Victor would have interfered again, since giving the points to Fuuko was enough to trust Victor. We get introduced to the first of the sacred treasures and that is Aegis. Basically, a giant shield that can even go to toe with an attack from God. Also, Rebellion uses the power fulled by vengeance, but at the cost of the user's life. Victor gave up on slaying God while Juiz hasn't.

Victor always wanted to protect Juiz, but Juiz wanted to be there along his side. It is funny to see Victor play the overprotective boyfriend. Though the fact that Juiz keeps the headgear with her has a more meaning to it. Especially since Andy has replaced Victor at this point in the story, but it serves as her final connection to him. Despite putting a good hit, Juiz goes down and Victor finally understands the meaning of loss. All this time, Victor never held a connection to anybody and for him, other allies were just dead weight. It finally clicked to Victor why creating these allies were important because the bonds you create have so much meaning. On the flipside the loss hits even harder. Victor's logic of ending Juiz's suffering made sense. But he never thought what the loss of Juiz would be to him. Of course, it crushes him. Sadly, now vengeance and anger lies in Victor's heart and for him using rebellion is enough to protect Fuuko before she can loop.

As we start with the 101st loop, we see Fuuko is at the spot where Akira Kuno became a negator, and she altered that fate. As we know though, Akira became Unknown and both him and his mom dealt with so much suffering. That is the first part of Fuuko's plan. Taking Juiz's approach, but trying to create the best happiness she can do for everyone she cares about. The one thing to note that there is a limited number of seats at the roundtable, so I wonder how she will juggle all of that. The final sacred treasure, the heart, is what she needs to look for as Andy looks for the other artifacts. Will be very interesting how this plan goes for Fuuko as she is now the boss of the Union.
