Truly we received the Ultimate W.

Anyway this was a rather fun ending to the case and I really enjoyed the wrap-up this time. Especially with the true twist of Kuya not being a drinker and him drinking tea this entire time! That actually caught me off guard the first time around.

As for Manga changes... oddly enough the Kuya and Kanna stuff played out basically the same in the manga as it did in the anime. Idk if they show up any further because well, I've stopped reading at this point (will get into that at the end). But it seemed to me just like a nice way to send off the characters.

That said!

-So the first change is the anime being courteous last part and giving us three suspects instead of two to give the illusion of choice in who did it. Because when I said Shotaro and Philip ran into someone after chasing the Alcohol Memory in the manga, that someone was Kuya. Which meant there was only two choices in the manga compared to the three the anime went with for its cliffhanger.

-The biggest change though is Bando's reveal. In the manga he already shows up as Aurora and doesn't give his name. It's only during the denouement that Shotaro and Philip sus out that Aurora was the guy they met at the mansion. I can only imagine that them finding out Bando's name comes into play during the next manga exclusive arc that the anime chose to cut, the 'p is a Devil' arc and they put it here just to have that.

Speaking of 'p is a Devil' though, yeah we're going to be skipping to the fifth volume's arc next time. Considering what little I heard from the content of it as I was airing I can only assume they did this to give us a satisfactory conclusion in 12 episodes and also likely took important and key details from the manga's 4th volume and transplanted it wherever they could into our final episodes. Which is why I hesitate to ask anyone on stepping up to summarize it given it might contain spoilers.

And normally I'd be like "Okay I'll do a spoiler tagged review or something or a vague summary by reading the manga". The only people who have subbed Futo PI, Genm Corp, only ever got up to the second chapter of the 'p is a Devil' arc. And I don't plan on reading an incomplete arc so that concludes my fun little gimmick of mentioning manga differences.
