Summary for Killer Killer is Dead.

Hijirihara and Asano show up at the fated junior high to settle things with Fujigawa, finding him in a locker in the old, messed up classroom.

The dramatic tension is ruined a bit by Fujigawa getting stuck in the locker and then propelling himself out and into Hijirihara’s arms.

Hijirihara demands that Fujigawa take off Asano’s collar, but he says he can’t do that, Fox, because he’s gotta stop all the killing in the world.

And things escalate pretty quickly from “tense” to “T-1 seconds to mmmmmwhacha saaaay”.



Luckily, Hijirihara takes the shot in his arm, to Asano’s shock for some reason. (Did you not hear him promise to kill you earlier?) Fujigawa comments that Asano must be important to Hijirihara.

Then he starts opening and shutting the locker dramatically and tells Hijirihara to stop clinging to these women and instead focus on him. (Um? Punchin’ Bro? Do you have something to do with this?) The locker door slamming grows more intense, as Fujigawa insists that there’s no value in protecting a useless, talentless woman.

Then he screams that Hijirihara belongs to him and detonates a conveniently placed tile just under Asano’s left foot, propelling her out the window. Asano mulls over how easily she’s going down, but she’s happy that the bombs will go offline and that she got to meet Hijirihara…

Oh hey, I’m totes into this.

Dougami leads the troops inside, and though Mekuru tells Asano to wait outside, she runs in anyway, vowing not to give up.

Meanwhile, Fujigawa is still shit-talking Asano like the jealous ho he is, saying they should become friends again and cleanse the world of killers. Together, no one could stand a chance against them!

Hijirihara however says that it was a faultless plan, honestly. He showed great skill in making those Mukuro clones, and he can’t dislike his tenacity in eliminating hundreds of thousands of murderers…

Hijirihara goes on rambling like this while Fujigawa asks if he’s listening to what he’s saying, but it’s grading time, yo. And the score for Fujigawa’s killing?

FULL MARKS.

Damn fine job.

Fujigawa meanwhile has convinced himself that what he’s been up to all this time hasn’t actually been that dirty murder nonsense, and he starts to come unhinged.



Hijirihara tells him that he’s definitely lacking a love of killing/koroshiai though. And now it’s time to knife fight.

They trade slashes and punches, thinking about how this is the definitive moment where it will end. All because…

Murder is beautiful/ugly.

Fujigawa gets Hijirihara in a choke hold and starts to suffocate him, and there’s a moment where things get philosophical and I get very happy.

In the moment where you’re killing or being killed…

…human life…

…sparkles brightest.

Next month is the final chapter!
