I was so surprised when the seal case finally opened and the power surge just obliterated everything around the Mido sisters since I expected a much longer battle against the butterfly queen

Seeing the Shikima Brain finally appear was worth the wait, even if the Mahoroba demons were annoying throughout most of this chapter

Miko getting trapped by those Mahoroba butterfly demons was a brutal way to end the series and the sisterly bond really carried the emotional weight of that last fight

I think the Mahoroba leader was actually way creepier than the previous villains and seeing Miko struggle against those butterfly wings made me feel genuinely tense for her safety during that whole Shikima Brain sequence

You can really tell the animation budget went into that final transformation scene because the way the seal case glows and the demons react looks much better than the earlier episodes

Miko being ready to start a war on the demon world as the new queen is the only thing that makes the ending tolerable

the Mahoroba conflict felt wrapped up okay but the series ending right as Miko becomes this super powerful demon queen is just frustrating

that scene where Miko has to use her sexual skills to win the fight really drove home how messed up her destiny is as the daughter of the demon king

I was actually starting to like the romance between Miko and her guy so seeing him die immediately after she lost her virginity was just brutal and unfair. It felt like the writers just wanted to give her a power boost and then get rid of him to make her a lonely warrior. That ending was so sudden and left me wanting more.

everyone calling this a dumb ending is right because Miko deserves better than losing her man the second she levels up

killing off the love interest right after the deed was such a bad move and it ruined the whole vibe of the finale

the way she got a massive boost in strength just because she slept with him is such a weird choice even for this series

The Mahoroba clan finally getting wiped out was decent, but Miko losing her partner at the very end just feels like a cheap way to end things.

it was cool when she finally accepted her bloodline and decided to fight the whole demon world but I wish there was more to watch

I really hate that Miko lost her guy right after they finally got together and it makes the whole journey feel like a waste

That scene where the Shikima start coming out to protect the seal case was such a cool twist and the sound design during the transformation was surprisingly heavy

My biggest problem is how much time they wasted on the sisters talking when I just wanted to see the Mahoroba actually do something and the ending felt totally rushed

Miko fighting off those Mahoroba butterfly demons is still so cool, and the visuals for the Shikima realm stuff really nailed that dark 90s aesthetic

The Mahoroba making their move on the seal case felt like it took forever and the pacing is kind of all over the place even if the art is decent

I am still thinking about those butterfly demons trying to corner Miko and it was actually pretty intense and the animation on the Shikima looked way better than the last episode

EPISODE CONTEXT

As the fourth and final episode of Fukkatsu-hen, this chapter closes out the conflict that escalated steadily across the OVA series, with Episode 3 having pushed Miko and her allies to their breaking point against the Mahoroba clan's mounting aggression. This is the payoff episode, resolving the central character dynamics and supernatural threats established from the opening installment. It concludes the Fukkatsu-hen arc entirely, leaving no continuation within this release.
