In poetic fashion both users of Gungir are told to refrain from using it lest they cease to be. Perhaps Shirabe was too quick to judge our Hibiki, Hibiki and Maria are one in the same. The mad doctor is doing his best impression of a discount Mayuri Kurotsuchi. In his madness he does not realize he's burning bridges, what will happen to him once he outlives his usefulness I wonder. With the new revelation on Hibki's state will the hero sit this one out and let another pick this mantle, or will she soldier on for her comrades, for her friends, for the world?
