Lots of characters leave the series on this volume. Poor Itchan's leg is totally broken, so she leaves the school, leaving Akari confused with no reason to do her best anymore. Everyone begins their "final competition on Earth" (a huge swimming/biking/running triathlon), but first there's an episode about Ayla, whom we find out is some Russian super-kid bred to be an athlete. Her old coach shows up because her homeland has been annexed by another country, so she decides to compete just for the sake of beating Jessie. After she wins the swim, she leaves. The crazy Chinese girl leaves, too, when all of her cheating backfires on her. Akari is running dead last when she gets a note from Itchan (delivered by her brother, wearing a Hanshin Tigers jersey like all Osaka folks in this anime), so she finds the strength to win the whole thing! So, Akari, Jessie, and that weird African girl are going to University Satellite - I hope they meet some other cool kids there, because I'm going to miss the characters who lost!Labels: anime, dvds
