While Tenka saw her future with Yuuki and Aoba flash before her eyes last week, we get more of Kyouka’s past flashing by here in the finale, as we see the peace and happiness and love in which she grew up turn to ash, and everything she did to become stronger.
She’s fueled by the desire to avenge her hometown and everyone in it, just as Yuuki is fueled by his desire to save his sister, protect his friends, and stand beside Kyouka. Their combined resolve manages to defeat the berserk Unihorn and force an impressed Shikoku to retreat.
With both Coco and Naon being captured by the enemy, Aoba is determined to rescue them. But while she trusts both Tenka and Kyouka to have her and her brother’s best interests at heart, she can’t trust the organization they work for, so she declines their offer to help her.
Kyouka vows to become Supreme Commander, so she can change the policies of the Demon Defense Forces, protect Mato victims like Aoba and her friends, and maybe one day find a cure to their condition. Aoba heads into hiding with a new appreciation of her little brother’s strength, knowing he’ll be just fine until they meet again.
That said, I doubt she’d be okay with Kyouka sharing her bed with Yuuki for a night as his reward while they’re both in their underwear. It’s pretty tame by reward standards, but then again it’s based upon Yuuki’s imagination, so perhaps he can’t quite imagine going all the way with Kyouka (or any girl, for that matter).
The rewards of last few episodes have seemed more of an afterthought; like the show knows this is the system it has set up in order to operate in both the sci-fi action and ecchi spheres, but its heart seemed to be much more in the family dynamics and combat.
That’s evident by how happy lil’ Nei is to see Yuuki when he returned with Kyouka, and how the two go all out to prepare a huge feast for everyone once they recover from their battle injuries. Honestly the sell for Chained Soldier for me is more about these lovable, nicely-designed characters, whether they butt heads, get along, or fight over Yuuki.
Of course, while Tenka can still sneak into Yuuki’s room with her ability and mount him whenever he wants, the fact remains that he’s Kyouka’s “servant” first and foremost. When Nei detects a horde of Shuuki and the 7th squad is mobilized, they’re the ones to deliver the coup-de-grace to the big Shuuki boss.
Since the show kinda just ended with a kind of summing-up of this dynamic, with lots of stuff still to do, either a second season will come along someday to continue the story, or those interested will have to settle for reading the manga. And while I can’t guarantee I’ll automatically watch a theoretical second season, I also won’t deny that I had fun watching this one.
