I actually liked this episode more than the last ones only because I decided that if I have to sit through these then why not make fun of them. Here are a few things from that

Takeru being the ghost of Christmas past which honestly I would not be surprised if that was a joke
The thoughts of what if Adel was a sadistic asshole and rubbed it in how he killed Takeru's father
Adel's sister finally having a purpose which was to show us what Adel would look in drag for a quick second
Fake Makoto knowing Makoto's thoughts which I imagined Fake saying "And I also know of those thoughts you have of Kanon you sick fuck!" (if you don't get that then I point to the Grimm focused episodes)

still things I did questioned like why did they have to go to the takoyaki stand for Allen's scene?

Now I am just imagining Adel going to the mirror in the morning going like "Hmm how should more of an asshole today? Oh I know how about I go score field goals using puppies and kittens. Afterwards I will celebrate by pissing on little kids' ice cream cones for the hell of it. Now of the the animal shelter!" with the song When You're Evil playing in the background

Dude be ready because it sounds like when ever there is something that will arm fans with hate filled missiles, you will be there praising it while standing on a giant target and wearing a red shirt. Though if you are defending something like Kiva or maybe Faiz stuff like that then give me a call, I will help take some of the attacks

I been wondering that too since I saw the Drive Ghost Genesis movie

I don’t really see what the deal with saving Adel is either. Of course Onari’s blunt "He killed the master so let’s kill him" isn’t logical, but with anything Adel displayed to our heroes so far it’s foolish to assume he’s coming around eventually. You’re risking countless lives as well as your own on a feeling that a mad man might follow your call to reason. And what is it based on? Him having some happy memories? Come on, that’s stupid.

Hell, even Alain wants to kill Adel now, so the "It would make Alain sad"-excuse is not valid either. Alain already dealt with it.

Of course it will happen and everyone will be like "Takeru you so cool" (after he comes back from yet another faked death scene of course) and I will grind my teeth because it’s crap. But it’s what Ghost does best, so why should I be surprised that they end the show with more of it.

I think if they had Adel go through more of an evolution instead of dickhead –> psychopath he would’ve been more believable, similarly to how Alain was handled. Alain is probably the best character in the entire show, but Adel is just a weak cliché villain.

Hey, I don't go out of my way to have unpopular opinions, it just happens an awful lot. I totally would defend Kiva or Faiz, too...

It's based on their Faith that despite all the Rage and Sorrow consuming him, their feelings will reach him and he'll be able to listen to his heart and change for the better. Infinite Potential™, remember?

Sure it's stupid but can't you at least give the show credit for having every single element of the plot throughout the entire show all build up to this?

He doesn't want to, he thinks he has to. The distinction there is really important.

I just really disagree with that. Sure it would've been nice to have a more visible arc but I think the only way you could call him "just" (because obviously he is pretty stock) a cliché villain is if you've been taking everything he says at face value the entire time. There's been things as subtle as little facial expressions or line deliveries throughout the show that really flesh out his character beyond only being a crazy moron.

I completely loved this episode. To see everyone's resolve was great. Adel's revelation really brought so many emotions from everyone. That was an intriguing notion that Adel killed Ryuu and I loved Takeru's anger from it. I love his emotional distress from this because he wants to save Alain's brother but I'm sure he wants to destroy his father's killer. The Makoto vs Makoto fight was great because I had no clue which one was the real one and I love how the Makoto Replica is learning more about friends and Takeru's effect is changing him. Alain's resolve to fight against his brother was great too. Akari and Onari's emotions were great. I just loved how all the characters reacted and handling this situation. Adel continues to be crazy and he is a very intriguing villain. I can't wait for more of this ending.
