Pretty much spot on.

Can I use this drawing as my facebook cover? It's too damn cute!

Remember when Takatora was defeated by Micchi and sank to the bottom of the river and everyone was like "He's not dead, there's no finite evidence that he is."

Still totally dead.

Safe to say Ryouma is, too. You don't make a spectacle of a final fight like they did with those two unless it's the end of their character's story. Plus in Ryouma's case it's a great full circle; He's technically killed by the species he was researching/wanted to control and use.

Did Ryouma's actor get his flowers?

Yes. Can't find the pic but yes.

Yep, the lemon's dead. Dead and splattered on the pavement like a shattered jar of marmalade.

The melon on the other hand... He hasn't gotten the flowers yet. Sure he may have just been needed for all of Micchy's hallucinogenic flip-outs that will continue for the rest of the show, but there's still a chance Takatora will come back.

I'm with you Powerman in hoping for a Tachibana death fake-out.

Urobutchi did say to keep watching to end to see if he's alive or not. I really hope he is alive.

"Let's go home, Mitsuzane."

Surprise twist! Takatora is Jam, who despite the look of the suit isn't a bad guy!

What if, the final villain, the ultimate bad guy, the one who shuts up and Jams is... Kouta. He goes full Overlord, ala Blade. Not BAD guy bad guy, but he takes on the armor.

But I'm banking on Marika for now. Or Rat.
