Will they win in Chapter 24?
Will they win in Chapter 24?
"Holy crap! This is going to be a pre-existing boss!"
"His performance against the Void Beasts is even more impressive than Qi Ji's, isn't it?"
"No, it's much more powerful!!"
"This is definitely the ultimate villain who appears throughout the entire series!"
Amidst the chatter of the comments, Saki Saku appeared from a high vantage point, facing off against Shinjiro Seigen.
Faced with this formidable opponent who was clearly on a different level, the viewers in the live chat were all worried for Saki, who seemed to be outnumbered and outmatched.
"Will Hakiji win?"
"We will win!"
In the scene, Seigen Kamishiro looks at Saki Saku as if he were looking at a dead man.
He instructed Liuli, "Liuli, do it."
"Wait a minute! Why is Liuli helping the villain?"
"This villain is already this strong, and it still takes two against one???"
"No martial ethics!"
"Bad woman! No! Lao Ji is one of our own!"
"Liuli! If you lay a hand on Laoji, I will never believe in love again!"
"Brothers, believe in Liuli!"
This time, Liuli did not disappoint the audience's trust.
Between Seigen Kamishiro and Seki Saki, she chose the latter! Without hesitation!
The girl's throw at the desolate echo was just a feint!
Her true target, from beginning to end, has always been Shinjiro Seigen!
Shinjiro Seigen was completely unprepared for Ruri's betrayal and, caught off guard, suffered a silent loss, which enraged him.
"Liuli, have you gone mad?! You're actually helping an outsider against your brother?!"
"You bitch, aren't you afraid of dying?!"
"What a good woman! She's such a good woman!"
"I'm locking up the Liuji CP!"
As the plot unfolds and the scene shifts, the sound of Liuli's voice plays on the screen—
"Why... should I be afraid of dying? Is the reason you live because you're afraid of dying? Is there any benefit to living?"
I can't think of any benefit to it.
In all my years of life, I have never been happy simply because I am alive.
Not even for a moment!
As the girl's memories flashed back, viewers in the live chat expressed their empathy:
"Li has had such a miserable life all these years!"
"My heart aches for Li!"
The plot continues, and soon it reaches the part where Seigen Kamishiro unleashes his ultimate attack:
"This sword is named—"
"Final ceremony."
"You should be proud to die by my sword."
Seeing this, Ruri cried out in terror, desperately urging, "Saki, run!"
"Holy crap, what kind of amazing ultimate move is that? It doesn't seem to match up at all!"
"According to the plot, Lao Ji will definitely suffer a crushing defeat here, and then be rescued by the teacher, right?"
"Although Hagi is already very strong among his peers, his opponent bullied him because he's older, so his victory was unfair!"
"Exactly!"
Just as everyone was mentally prepared to accept Saki's crushing defeat, Saki unexpectedly uttered a string of trash talk that instantly broke down Shinjiro Seigen's defenses—a truly superior level of trash talk:
"I was afraid you wouldn't know, so I'll just tell you anyway."
"Compared to stepping on an ant and killing it, it's quite difficult to control the force required to step on an ant without killing it."
"And I was just playing along with you under those very conditions."
"Alright, time for playing house... is over."
"I'm so upset! Even knowing it's a guaranteed loss, are they really going to try and win in the trash-talking segment?"
"Haki, I admit, when it comes to trash talk, you win!"
"Although... Brother Ji, you've really stirred up a lot of hatred! You're going to get hammered so badly you won't even recognize your own mother later..."
Just as the comments said, Seigen Kamishiro was indeed thoroughly enraged.
He roared and swung his sword.
Wherever the sword passed, the air emitted a piercing shriek, and the ground was plowed with deep furrows by the invisible sword energy.
At the same time, the production team also used very impactful fonts to highlight the large, eye-catching words on the screen!
[Final move!]
[Kamishiro Seigen - The Strongest Strike!]
Then, the image suddenly froze!
The image is frozen on the scene of Shindai Seigen's sword strike, where he and his sword are one, and his power is overwhelming!
The image freezes on the bewildered figure standing silently, seemingly unable to react in time!
The final frame freezes on that terrifying sword light that seemed capable of cleaving through everything, about to engulf Saki!
In the center of the image, four large characters crash down with tremendous force:
The outcome is decided!
"So... Lao Ji lost?"
"No—!"
"Hakiji! You bastard! (crying voice)"
Just as the comments section was filled with people mourning for Sakizawa—
The next moment, the screen went dark!
What followed was not the expected, settled ending, but rather...
A revolving lantern of Seigen Kamishiro's life.
The visuals are in black and white, accompanied by somber music.
At the center of the painting is Seigen Kamishiro in his youth.
He was jealous of Liuli's talent.
He practiced swordsmanship with all his might.
He killed Liuli's mother.
With his sword, Seigen Kamishiro gained the Kamishiro family's favor and gradually rose to the pinnacle of his life.
He then burst into loud, maniacal laughter, his face contorted in pain.
And the flashback of memory abruptly ended at this moment!
What followed was what appeared before the audience—
It turned out to be...
The scene of Seigen Kamishiro's defeat!
He was killed by a single elbow strike from Qi Ji!
A huge, extreme, and absurd contrast!
One second it's "the strongest attack" and "the outcome is decided", the next second it's "the BOSS is killed", the slideshow is over!
After a long, deathly silence, the comments section exploded—
"??????"
Holy crap!!!
"What the hell? Where's my forgotten defeat cutscene?"
"You're called Seigen Kamishiro???"
"Huh? I thought it was a speed bump!"
"That's it? That's all?"
"Hahaha, I can't laugh anymore! Those of you who were pessimistic about my brother Ji, say something!!!"
"The production team really knows how to create a good show! This plot twist has me completely stunned!"
On his deathbed, Shinjiro Seigen's unfocused pupils were filled with nothing but confusion.
He...lost?
They actually... lost?
Qi Ji simply patted off non-existent dust from his body, walked up to him, and slowly squatted down.
It's still time for some trash talk; you have to kill someone by attacking their spirit.
"So you... are that weak?"
"I thought you would be stronger than I imagined."
"How boring... I'll probably forget about you by tomorrow."
This barrage of witty remarks, coupled with his overwhelming combat performance, quickly won over a large number of players who valued high-stakes gameplay.
Strong, handsome, full of witty remarks, and incredibly cool—
Saki Seki almost fulfilled all their fantasies about a "perfect genius".
At this point, thanks to his solo performance in the third episode, Saki Sakuya gradually began to be dubbed the "King of Cool" by the audience.
And at the end of the third episode, the production team had another surprise in store—
To everyone's surprise, Liuli whipped her brother's corpse.
The girl was covered in blood, slashed again and again.
Her expression was calm, but her eyes were frighteningly empty.
On the surface, she's a well-behaved girl and a top student, but behind the scenes, she's a family tool whose inner self is sealed away, a crazy beauty who longs for death...
This extreme contrast and the beauty of fragmentation have actually increased the popularity of Liuli.
In just three episodes, "Echoes" has successfully created several highly recognizable characters.
Coupled with the production quality that had already been praised to the point of exhaustion by the comments, it was met with a flood of positive reviews!
More and more people were commenting on "Saki-jaku" in the comments section, and the number of followers and real-time views on his personal channel skyrocketed after the anime aired!
The three episodes aired consecutively, like three bombshells, generating an unprecedentedly enthusiastic response from the audience.
The phenomenal success of "Echo" is a foregone conclusion!
