To be honest, while I was amazed by the beginning of Takopi's Original Sin, I read manga reviews which said the ending was rushed or disappointing and the material had gotten worse over the course of the show. Seeing the last episode, and the episode before, I couldn't understand why that was going to be the case, and I feared that the ending would leave me feeling completely dissatisfied. I can now say those reviewers were completely and utterly wrong - this was the perfect ending for the series which has solidified it as one of my favourite ever shows.
Previous episodes really built for something to happen but I really did wonder how they were going to end the show - this brings me to the first point I'll make which is that this is not a predictable ending. The way things occur, the things that transpired in this episode weren't easy to predict - then again, I am considering it alongside the episode before, but it's certainly not an obvious or troped ending in any way, shape or form.
The second point I have is that this was the right ending - it was an ending which understood perfectly the point of the show and the message it wanted to leave without having to explain that too much or completely ruin the plot up to that point. The ending made sense for the plot and concluded it excellently.
Now I could act like this logical analysis - typically I'd force a third point and argue that this ending was logically, an incredible ending but no - this ending was just incredible. I'm not going to overcomplicate it. Because as far as I'm concerned this ending brought everything to the end it needed to, and it made me cry, and if it can do those 2 things, it is a wonderful and incredible ending already. I don't need to defend this show, I just need to emphasise just how good this ending is. That's all I'm going to do.
This was the perfect ending for the best show I've seen for a long while. Few shows can achieve these heights with less than 2 hours of actual footage without the intro and ending credits and with viewers having less than 2 months of commitment to the characters. I think this show has transcended the heights I expected to be created by this relatively unknown show which surprised everyone with its ending.
10/10. I love this show.

This episode reminded me, and many others, of the episode from the previous season which had half the internet tearing up. Now, I will preface this by saying this didn't make me cry like the last one did. But by no means was the emotion forced or absent from the episode.
I think, ultimately, the show doesn't want to fully humanise the character involved yet, but they still do a really good job of making a 10 minute story which seems to justify the actions and make us understand the reasoning of a character pretty flawlessly. This is why this is a good episode: we see, once again, reasoning, emotion, and the process of the yokai breaking down into something else entirely, but rather than previous instance of a tearjerker when the structure was - see the yokai in action, beat it, then backstory it, this spirit does the opposite. I think this helps to keep the plot movement feeling fresh, natural and not repetitive, else the structure of the show would be oversimplified.
More than anything though, this was the most disturbing // harrowing episode of Dandadan yet. There are some MAJOR TRIGGER WARNINGS we should be aware of before watching this episode - if you're sensitive about suicide, DO NOT WATCH THIS EPISODE. That's a serious thing, not a spoiler. This episode genuinely shocked me with how morbid it actually was.
I hope this arc continues to improve as it has done between the first too episodes - this was a real step up from the reintroduction from the plot, but the structure of the season has worked excellently to compensate for the absence of this wonderful show in the past few months.
9/10 - I love this show.
