Sousei No Onmyouji Episode 45

I was not expecting it to be another build up episode. I do not want this final fight to be wasted. Personally I hope Benio does get a part in this fight. I know it is about Rokuro these past few episodes, but this series has been about him and Benio. Rokuro was even going to use Resonance.

Sousei no Onmyouji Episode 45

I am guessing that this fight will end next episode, however, something will happen, then episode 47 will be a prep sort of thing, before the last three episodes focusing on a fight with Yuto. Since this series has mainly been original, I do hope there is a time skip for at least half of the final episode.

Anyway, this episode was all about the buildup. The only thing really holding it back is if this build up will mean something. So much is at stake, and well the conversations that happened mainly dealt with Rokuro and where he is now. Once he finds a way to accept his fate, or a way for only one part of his fate to happen, maybe then he can have that happy ending with Benio. The two had struggles before they met, the struggles they overcame made them stronger. Although they are apart now, Rokuro needs to realize before this series is done, they are stronger together.

These last few episodes, although it partially annoyed me with what happened with Kurunashi, have probably been the strongest episodes of Twin Star Exorcists, all the rocky parts are certainly made up, at least as long as it holds.

This week's episode picks up right where last week left off, Rokuro is out to face Yuto one-on-one, while Benio is left behind to recover alone. Rokuro and Yuto duke it out for a bit, while also poking and prodding at one another's psyches. Arima and Seigen discuss Abe no Seimei for a bit, as do Rokuro and Yuto, and eventually all of that punching leads into a cliffhanger for next week. As episodes of Twin Star Exorcists go, this is about as straightforward as it gets.

It's also interesting how the show has twisted Abe no Seimei's motivations into something more gray and sinister. It all comes back to Rokuro's being The Cataclysm King, whose entire existence is predicated on wiping out the source of the Kegare infestation: humanity. I still feel like more time with Arima in the past would make these machinations feel less vague and nebulous, but the way I understand it is that Rokuro's being such a deadly force falls within Abe's plans, a kind of failsafe in case the prophecy of the Twin Star Exorcists doesn't come to pass. If there's anything I like about this, it's that it puts added pressure on Rokuro and Benio both as a couple and as a team, since they'll obviously have to factor these developments into how these last episodes resolve.

Speaking of resolutions, the ending was my biggest issue with this episode, with the flashback to the fatal effects of Rokuro transforming into the Cataclysm King feeling forced and awkwardly placed. I always hate it when shows save these kinds of reveals for last minute flashbacks, because knowing The Big Twist upfront usually makes the situation more suspenseful. If we'd known that Rokuro's power-up could prove fatal from the beginning, it would have gone a long way toward spicing up the underwhelming action this week. All in all though, this episode did its job in getting us further into the final conflict with Yuto and raising the stakes between our two combatants. All we need is for Benio to finally make her way back in to the fray, and we'll have a perfectly fine setup for the finale.
