He told Wateru protect the music in people's hearts and protect beautiful things like that. Wateru took it as: become captain badass. Seriously, he could beat Fangires with his bare hands UNTRANSFORMED now?! He causes them to run away like wusses by staring them down?! He could barely take a hit in his normal human form before!

He's not even protecting anyone! Nago and Megumi are trying to that, Wateru just up and challenged Taiga to a death battle.

Otoya's death scene was pretty fitting for him, I think. Playing one of the only two songs he ever plays. The show finally explains how the arms monsters got in the castle in the first place, and to be honest...I was half expecting it not to.

Alright, final stretch. Well, Shima's alive! And they actually explained how! Great! I'm really not sure Otoya's words had a completely positive effect on Wateru. Sure, he's stronger, but uh...he's acting like a supervillain now!Also, he stopped giving a fuck about Taiga and deciding he wasn't worth killing.

Now, uh....how did Taiga become chairman of the board for a rich company. Are they all Fangires? I'm not even sure now...He really did lose everything though. Well, not his mom, at least he...oh. Nope. Wait he killed her. And now Kivat Sr is going to help him? The whole reason Old McKivat turned good in the first place was to help Maya!

Alright, last episode. Seeing the arms monsters fight in the present day was pretty cool. Nago, still partially blinded finally slays Bishop and his creepy eyes. But Megumi restores Nago's sight with....THE POWER OF LOVE!

And I guess...Wateru got acting like a supervillain out of his system. I guess his reasons for becoming King are....good? I dunno. Anyway, resurrected past King is back...as a mindless monster. Wow, Bishop. Good job summoning a better King there.

And Wateru is saved by....Otoya's ghost. Alright. That works, honestly. The team up between Kiva and Dark Kiva was cool and all, but uh...guess Wateru forgot that Taiga KILLED THEIR MOTHER. Um...okay, no wait. Apparently he didn't.

And now Wateru and Taiga are full on martial arts movie-style rivals. Remember kids, it's okay to fight your siblings to see who's strongest, but only if your mother says so.

So, wedding epilogue. Glad...to see Yuri's ghost make it to offer Megumi some kind words before she gets married. I kind of wish they just had all the dead people just appear in the background of the wedding like Jedi ghosts or something. The arms monsters were invited...so I guess she or Nago got to know them or something.

Wait..what the...? Oh man. Wateru's son?! The Neo-Fangire Empire's invaded from the future?! TO BE CONTINUED---> ?! ...Eh, no, I guess not.

Anyway, weird decent series. Had it's share of massive flaws, the biggest of which was not explaining shit. Characters sort of grew on me, including ones I didn't particularly like at all in the beginning. Of course others, flip-flopped between being okay and unbearable, but whatever.

Comparing it to other series? Eh...All I've only seen one other, so...guess I'll just have to watch more!

Yeah, I thought the same thing when Taiga supposedly killed Maya. I also REALLY wish that they made a movie with Wataru's son. They seriously shouldn't have made a cliffhanger, and not acted on it.
