GUHHHHHH AUGHGGHJHHH..... FIONNA AND CAKE FINALE SPOILERS.... IM IN A RAMBLING MOOD
I EXPECTED TO BE SOBBING MY EYES OUT (which i almost did) BUT NO THIS ENDING WAS SOOO... GUH
IT WAS SO CUTE. FIONNA AND CAKE GOT TO HAVE THEIR MAGICAL WORLD IN A DIFFERENT WAY. SIMON STARTED GOING TO THERAPY. I LOVED IT
BUT ONCE AGAIN. I am left feeling SO BAD for Betty!!! We dont know wtf is going on with her!!! She didnt get to directly talk to Simon at all! I mean, she did in the flashback, but only for like 2 seconds. As much as I loved Simon's realization, I wanted her to be emotionally vulnerable dammit!! And I'm not saying that I thought it was a bad thing she couldn't talk, I think it's really interesting the route they went with this episode... but right now I just want to talk abt how much I LOVE BETTY. AND I WISH SHE COULDVE JUST HAD A MOMENT!!! GAHHH!
And Simon. I'm so glad he realized what he did, I was expecting the possibility of an ending where he gets what he wants and/or never realizes how one-sided the relationship is, so I'm grateful we got what we got. But I expected more emotion from him when he saw Betty again. When he was realizing what he's done to her.
I mean, this is the man who spent years yearning for her return, the man who tortured a demon for (what I'm going to assume was) MONTHS, just to have a chance at bringing her back. His collective trauma from the crown and the loss of his wife created a shell of a man. A man whose sole purpose was to try and make it all up to his wife somehow.
Yet he didn't realize that this wasn't the first time she had done this for him. So maybe, once he realized how selfish he has been, never noticing her effort...
He gained another purpose. He wanted to make it up to her in a new way. Instead of sacrificing himself aimlessly, half out of genuine love and half out of self-hatred, he chose to live for her. He chose to throw the crown away and end the cycle of self-destruction. He chose to give her peace instead of endlessly chasing her.
Simon isn't perfect, he never was. But this episode solidified, for me at least, that he truly loves Betty. He would do anything for her, and once he realized that letting her go was the only solution for both of them, that's what he did.
God damn, did this show HIT. Literally amazing. Might write a fic about Betty

This is maybe a bit of a petty complaint since I don't think that anime adaptations HAVE to adapt the source manga without cutting things out, but I do think the Dungeon Meshi anime is worse for the fact that this particular conversation isn't there:
This chapter is the final chapter before the one where the red dragon appears. In addition to adding to the mounting dread about what Falin's fate is, it also gives context as for WHY Falin's body being found completely digested (excluding the bones) is so bad. I saw someone (and my brother said something similar while we were watching episode 11) be confused on why Falin's skull is so shocking, since the rules of revivals haven't been laid out as well as in the manga
