[K] The Chrysanthemum in Daylight

They met at nine. They came to understand each other at sixteen. They said goodbye forever at twenty-one. White chrysanthemum: I have lost my beloved forever. The background music I originally had in mind was Utada Hikaru's theme song for the theatrical release of Evangelion: 3.0, Sakura Nagashi. I'm not a Kaworu-Shinji shipper, but I still remember watching that final scene with this song, full of deep sorrow and longing, playing in my ears, and tears falling before I knew it. "I can't believe I'll never see you again. There's still so much I haven't told you." "Everybody finds love, in the end." "If there is love at the end of everything." It suddenly struck me that this song fits Motomiya Akiko and Totsuka Tataral so well. Dedicated to Tataral, who left this world with a smile at twenty-two. Dedicated to Motomiya Akiko, who loved Tataral all her life, yet lost her chance forever to say, "I love you." After watching the K movie, Missing Kings, I felt like I'd been thoroughly face-slapped, and then: "Ah, don't show me Mikoto and Tataral at a time like this! Do you have to make it so emotional? I'm going to cry." Are ability users people who failed to become Kings? The official account smiled and slapped us in the face: "Who told you that was part of the setting?" (Kushina Anna: ...) Mikoto and Tataral appeared on the poster, so maybe they'd have scenes, or even come back from the dead? Sorry, but apparently they're happily together in heaven, working out the emotional issues of their love child (not really) and bringing Homra back to life. (Kushina Anna: Stares.) The First and Second Kings finally get to open up to each other after all these years? That spaceship where they're living together (not really) is so dazzling it could blind you. Too bad the people who died in the TV series say they're one short. Hurry up, old man. (Kokujouji Daikaku and Adolf: ...) And then there's the Green King's high-tech method of recruiting clansmen through a phone app, the powerful lightning attack you can unleash by summoning your clansmen, the captain and the little girl joining forces, the awkward but heartwarming moments between Saruhiko and Misaki, and Kuroh's senior disciple, who apparently betrayed Mikoto and then teamed up with the Green King, just like Saruhiko wielding the power of two Kings. After the captain stylishly helps the little girl, his sword seems to start showing damage. Huh, did I spoil anything? Did I? Anna's insert song is the best! Theme:
