Could Have Been Better.
This is probably my least favorite SPEC sequel. The story became confusing with the sudden introduction of prophecies and the unnecessary return of Ninomae, who’s still being used by the villains.
Sebumi frustrated me the most — after all the seasons and sequels, he’s had no real character development. He remains mostly useless, always acting as a shield for Touma. His survival feels like pure plot armor — with injuries like peeled skin, multiple gunshots, and nails all over his body, there’s no way he should still be standing. Despite everything, he never truly contributes to the fight.
The story felt all over the place, and the enemies were weak and unmemorable. Their powers, like the fire-and-ice woman and the guy with octopus-like weapons, were underwhelming.
The only consistently well-written character here is Touma. This was the weakest sequel so far, but I’m still holding out hope that the next one improves the plot and brings some much-needed clarity.
