Hey, here’s a question. When demons are transforming into bigger, badder demons, otherwise temperate towns are getting unseasonal snow, and you’re catching sight of your own doppelgänger... that’s a bad sign, right? And when it all seems to be pointing you toward Sairaag—basically the world’s nexus of bad magical mojo—that’s a REALLY bad sign, isn’t it? But I know from experience what happens when you try to say no to a plot like this, so... let’s just get it over with, shall we?

What the efff?? So this was the supposed first ending? I would be so mad if I read the books back then! I now know the series would continue on for a bit, so I’m a little assuaged.
Anyway. This was anticlimactic again. A little fitting that if Mileena had to go, then Luke would have to go too, but… a tad predictable. But the whole Shabrangido and Luke thing was a bit far fetched; too convenient, if you will, however, it sort of explains how/why in the previous few books that Luke knew some pretty nifty spells that Lina didn’t.
The fight seemed a little too easy, despite having to destroy (she did destroy them?) her talismans in order to release the gods’ powers… I felt for Lina a bit when she was all depressed, and Gourry did well to get her distracted. It’d be fun to see how that develops here onwards.
