The Ultimate Undead Murder Mystery: Unveiling a Brilliant Plot Twist with a Startling Sacrifice!
Unveiling the killer's true identity marks the chilling finale of this undead murder farce However, its unexpected aftermath raises unsettling questions that linger, leaving readers intrigued and unsettled
Highlights
Undead Murder Farce's third story arc concludes with a high body count, raising questions about the cost of pursuing a killer.
The standoffs and fights that were anticipated in the prior episode didn't quite live up to expectations, as Victor's unexpected help provided the most memorable moments.
The revelation that Louise's true identity is tied to a complex revenge scheme brings depth to the story, yet the moral ambiguity raises doubt about whether the conclusion was truly fulfilling.
The identity of the killer in a murder mystery is often the most memorable aspect, but what tends to be overlooked is the significant loss incurred in the pursuit of that killer. Undead Murder Farce's third story arc delves into the gruesome murders of two separate villages, resulting in a high death toll. This raises the question of what lesson can be gleaned from it all.
In the previous episode, Victor aided Rindo and Shinuchi in evading the Royce agents and reuniting with Shizuku. However, this came at a cost. After locating her, they meticulously gathered clues from Shizuku's testimony and their own research to uncover the killer's true identity. All the while, they were pursued by werewolves, and the humans launched an attack on Wolphinhel.
A Passable Opening Act
Shinuchi's self-deprecating reference to himself as the "opening act" later in this episode is ironic because his contributions were much more impressive than the actual opening act. The anticipated confrontations, which were teased in the previous episode, lacked the necessary duration and impact.
The Royce agents, always present but strangely underutilized, met their fate in a way that mirrored their existence. The standout moment from the fights with them was when Victor extended a helping hand - quite literally - to Shinuchi, solidifying his status as the ultimate antagonist. It would be wonderful to have a sequel, in which we can further explore his character.
