SPEC ~ sho
19 Aug 2012 08:30 pm起 = 癸 (meaning 10)
承 = 翔
転 = 天
結 = 欠
As someone pointed out cleverly on the Chinese forums, the title for episode 10 of SPEC2 was "ki" (using the kanji for "10" in ancient Chinese calendar), followed by the SP that was named "shou" (using the kanji for "soar"). The movie is named "ten" (using the kanji for "sky").
This joins together to form the Japanese/Chinese phrase "kishoutenketsu", which describes the ancient poetic structure: introduction, thematic development, transition, and conclusion.
The movie supposedly leaves several questions unanswered. Will we get a "Ketsu" in the future?
( Spoilerific SPEC ~ Shou summary )
I can't stop squee-ing over how adorable Ryouta/Ninomae was in this. DAMN IT.
I think I just need more cool-but-cutesy Kamiki ;___;
Not to mention Erika and Kamiki are so adorable XD
There's a lot of plot problems with this episode, but to be honest I think the original series had a lot of plot issues in particular from about episode 4 or 5 onwards. I loved the characters, I really did, but I think as with a lot of Japanese crime series that bites off more than it can chew, it spits out more loose thread than it ties up and often ends in a giant big convoluted woolball.
The SP explains some of the pressing questions of the series: namely what was Toma's SPEC and what exactly happened at the last showdown and what happened to Ninomae, but there's still a lot left unexplained.
