| Man, its seriously flawed how the director decided to kill Oburi off at the end. It really added nothing to the plot and seemed completely inconsistent. Its not that I particularly give a shit about the character, but it seemed as if the director thought "damn, I hate happy endings. Why not kill off this guy for the hell of it". It has no meaning whatsoeverl (you could argue he was 'saying' something about the cycle of violence, but that would be bullshit.) I mean besides that, having a 10 yr old girl (non assassin) kill him is just SO bizzare and inconsistent with the rest of the basically "realistic" film (as in, it wasn't a David Lynch-ian type film until that scene.) A better ending would have been to end it after Sawa and the cop finish fucking and reveal they had betrayed Oburi (if the purpose was to convey that message)... |
| I agree with you... why kill oburi -_- |
 |
| I think Oburi lived. Why? Turn your volume up at the end before Sawa turns her head. You can hear a door opening. |

| What>? The ending was totally awesome, i didn't see it coming. Me loved the ending. |

I think it's better when the ending is different than what you expect or want to happen ;) Its not that they need to listen to what a fan thinks, but they should try and follow the laws of good story telling!

They may as well dropped an atomic bomb or had Freddy Kruger come on scene and kill everyone. |
Siing said: What>? The ending was totally awesome, i didn't see it coming. Me loved the ending. Agreed. The ending was perfect. Who actually expects a happy ending from an anime like this anyway? It would seem fucked up if it ended with them skipping off into the sunset. |

Slykain said: I agree with you... why kill oburi -_- He didn't die. Didn't you remember at the end, Akai found Kanie dead, he went to the place Sawa 1st killed someone, thinking Oburi did it. He found out Sawa there instead. She said she killed Kanie and saved Oburi, then killed Akai, avenging her parents Deaths. 1 thing i though was stupid she did was she THREW BOTH GUNS AWAY. I would have kept at least 1 of them, with a gun that overkilling Exploding Bullets. The ending didn't end as good as i though it would. They should have at least showed him returning and not keep her waiting. I take that back, when the girl shot him at the end, i wasn't watching it and didn't see the bullet hit him from his right side and go out the left side of his back. He probably did die from blood loss. If not that, when the bullet exploded he would almost Guaranteed to be dead then. That would explain why Sawa disappeared and wasn't seen from cause he never came back (he was going to but kinda can't if your dead). He really did care for those cats, since he was getting cat food for them. Shows not all Assassins are bad. She still should have kept a gun, i mean COME ON, why toss 1. Once you start down the Road as an Assassin, there is no turning back then. It only takes 1 person from 1 of your targets to want revenge on you. Gonna watch the OVA soon. Hope it's good. Saw the OVA, i thought it was better at some parts then the original. The Hentai parts weren't needed in the story (Original), which made the Kite Liberator OVA better. |

| Oh God...Why that little bitch killed Oburi? =( I was so happy that Sawa killed that bastard and then Oburi died o.o'' Why??? PandaPuff said: I think Oburi lived. Why? Turn your volume up at the end before Sawa turns her head. You can hear a door opening. I coudn't hear nothing T_T But I think Oburi lived too ^^ |

| Bizarre? Inconsistent? Unrealistic? Are we talking about the same movie here? The ending was absolutely necessary. What did you expect? Sawa and Oburi to live happily ever after? No way! As Sawa explained earlier in the film, "Ten years...Five years...Even Tomorrow may never come to us, all I can do is live life to the fullest." Simply put, they never expected to live a life outside of their profession. The ending is proof of that. |
| I must say I didnt see that ending coming though if you really think about it, it was a rather suitable ending to a pretty good anime . |
| hey guys, where did you even watch this anime? i can't seem to find it. |

| I think it was a foreseeable ending. Oburi had to die. Akai expected him - not Kanie - to be dead in this place where the murder of Sawas parents happened. (the first place he killed for them) So it is likely that Oburi was the Assassin who killed Sawas parents with the order coming from Kanie and Akai. And also Sawa was looking at the girl through the window when Oburi shot the basketball, so it is possible that she hired her. (But that is all mere theory and speculation of mine!) Edit: Oburi committing the actual murder of her parents could also be the reason for ... him knowing that Akai and Kanie where behind their deaths. ... him being so curious of Sawas earrings - and so shocked that they are stained with the blood of her parents (so he had seen the earrings before) |

| I’m not going to lie I think the ending fit perfectly with the anime theme...

| I think that the real point of the ending wasn't to the guy. It was to show that there are other assassin groups out there and maybe Sawa will have to tangle with them in a sequel. I mean, the 2 main bad guys were dead. Who would have given the order to the pigtailed girl to kill Obori? She had a gun similar to the ones Sawa and Oburi used so she must have been an assassin and not just some kid who happened to have a gun. Nice setup for a followup series imo |

Nice setup for a followup series imo The answer to that was already given earlier. The girl was the new assassin that the mustachio man talked about (Oburis replacement) |
| I think the ending was shocking and very sad for Sawa. She thought she saved Oburi and herself from their slave assassins life but turns out the little girl with the basketball became the new child assassin and I guess she was also the one that came to kill her at the end. |
| Very dissapointing tbh , i took a liking to him |
| I didnt dislike the ending but I thought that maybe a more "bombastic" ending would have been more appropiate, according to the way this OVAs flow |
NeloAngelus said: I think the girl that shoot or killed which ever you prefer is the replacement for him which the cop talked about after having fun time with Sawa Same here,I am thinking the same and the ending was not really satisfying but also was like Didn't see that coming |
 For your Information: |
| the sad part at the end isn't Oburi and Sawa being killed; the sad part is the hungry kitty-cats not getting their catfood! 😿 |
| I haven't watched the sequel yet, and I don't know if it connects to this one but while the ending is pretty mellow, I do think it fits very well with how it's foreshadowed. You can see the Basketball girl I'm several scene with Akai before the ending which does hunt to it happening. |
 [/url] |
| How is saying it was about the cycle of violence bullshit?? It could not be more obvious that’s what it was about… as the well as the loss of innocence, and it was very in line with the series themes AND unpredictable despite a little foreshadowing, genuinely a great ending that elevated the entire thing. |
