The Legend of the Legendary Heroes 24 – END

Nice final episode, though I’m even more confused now than when the episode began as to what is wrong with Sion. Obviously, it looks like the plan is for there to be a sequel, and if there is one, it seems like it will have a faster pace than this series. While I’ll give my thoughts about the series as a whole in an upcoming post, there were a few notable things that happened in this episode.

While I’d like to say I knew how the legendary hero back story relates to what is going on in show, I pretty much only get that Lucile is the weaver of all equations and Ryner is the solver of all equations. I had thought at the beginning of the series the Ryner would be the present day legendary hero, but it seems like that role is more befitting of Sion, especially considering his relationship with Lucile and Ryner.

The fight scene from the episode’s opening half was interesting enough, but it was perplexing to see it just end. I mean for floating, possessed Sion just to give up because weird floating woman who came out of Ryner saying that it wasn’t time yet, was as weird as it was disappointing. I guess the point of this fight was so that we could finally know that Sion had finally been taking over by his evil double, but it seemed like that had been the case several times in the past few episodes. I suppose that it is possible that Sion is now cohabitating with his evil double, or whatever, given that Ferris said he was smiling and crying when he told her that he had killed Ryner. I just don’t know, so I’ll let it go for now.

We then got a reunion between Ryner and Ferris (it seems like they have had reunions every two or three episodes in this series), in which we got to see, again, that Ferris really does care for Ryner. However, it seems like there may be a cause for concern for Ferris, because she did look a bit worried when Kiefer helped them escape. Since it seems that Ryner and Ferris are going to be going up against Sion and Roland in the future, I would venture a guess that Ferris and Kiefer will inevitably cross paths again. Now whether Kiefer and Ryner would still have a thing for each other after all of these years is questionable, but it would still make for an interesting encounter.

The rest of the episode was really just one long ending montage scene featuring the various characters the series has introduced thus far, either fighting or standing around ominously. I will give this montage credit, in that I do want to watch more Legendary Heroes after watching it. One of the most interesting things from that montage was that Milk and company still seemed to be fighting on behalf of Roland, even after Milk learned the truth from a couple of episodes ago. Now, given that she would know that Sion’s undead soldiers were a result of human experiments, I wonder what could have possibly kept Milk from conspiring against Sion.

All things considered, this episode did move the series forward, but it seems like the ending montage was far more useful than the actual fight between Ryner and Sion, especially considering that we at least know the show didn’t forget characters like Tiir, Milk, and Miran.

Final Notes:

With this post, I’ve finally completed blogging my first full series, and while LOLH hasn’t been the most exciting series, it was pretty fun to blog. I’ve tried getting away from some of the longer, more analytical posts that I did earlier on, to making shorter, more to the point posts. That said, if you do read my posts with any regularity (I’m also blogging Star Driver), I would appreciate any feedback on my writing and ways that I can make my posts more appealing. Aside from that, I’d like to say thanks to the people who do read my posts, and more specifically foshizzel for commenting on such a regular basis.
