Samurai Flamenco has so many possibilities regarding its ending, thanks to its mix of humorous yet, dark tokusatsu trope filled storytelling. However, as surprising as the show is, the show does use clues to foreshadow future aspects of the show.

Clues of this dystopian Watchmen-eqsue world have been implied from the lackadaisical approach to policing from Goto and his police allies, letting little crimes such as umbrella theft happen, not to mention the dark tone of the show. Let us inspect other clues that may give us clues to the ending. (You do not have to listen to my interpretations, but at least listen to the clues.)

1) Is Samurai Flamenco King Torture?

There are a lot of fans interpreting Samurai Flamenco having snapped after finding out of his parents’ death. He could’ve created the vision of King Torture and other delusions of paranoia in this world.

Your eyes deceive you.

He didn’t like Flamenco Girl’s “methods of justice.” What if he decided to go after her and stop her with a Judge from the Batman Superman 90s-00s Diniverse persona? This technique has beend one in multiple forms of media in a Tyler Durden/Travis Bickle-like fashion.

Samurai Flamenco was always a bit crazy, disturbed, thinking of stopping crime by small means even without the physical means or knowledge on how to do so.

He sees many clues that imply this such as reflections:

King Torture having the same tokusatsu (action figure) obsession and motive as he does.

Beyond Flamenco the same, not to mention the appearance and name similarity.

Samurai Flamenco asks, “Why Flamenco?” to Beyond Flamenco questioning why they both have the same name to which Beyond Flamenco responds, “you’ll find out soon…” There is obviously some sort of physical appearance connection between Samurai and Beyond Flamenco, but what else?

As much as this ending makes sense to me, it would polarize those who have watched Samurai Flamenco and not have observed the other clues leading up to this ending.

It is also contrast to what I said before, a bit dark, but not humorous not fitting the tone of Samurai Flamenco.

2) Samurai Flamenco is a genetically engineered clone of his “grandfather,” not a real descendant. They wear pretty much the same clothes despite current day Flamenco never having heard of his father.

This would makes a lot more sense, given the directorial and/or screenwriting clues giving Samurai Flamenco reflections.

The scene where Samurai Flamenco encounters an evil scientist before Hazama snaps learning of his parents’ fate is a flashback.

The existence of Beyond Flmanenco

3) Should there even be an ending?

The season ends at the odd non-quarterly number of 22 instead of 26.

The post-King Torture storylines have been criticized, at least in the US

The ending may probably never be up to expectations. It might please me or others, but not necessarily both.

However, a lot of us really want to give faith to this writing team and trust them regarding this ending. Fans have stayed this long. I think people will give them a chance.
