Kara no Kyoukai movie 4 recap

Kara no Kyoukai: The Garden of Sinners - The Hollow Shrine box cover art
March 1996 - The Hollow Shrine


Shiki has been injured and is now in a coma... it shows a visualization of her accessing the "root" and learning to see death. Mikiya somehow meets Aozaki for the first time during this... Mikiya says she's different than she seemed like on the phone..
I'm switching my personality depending on how I view things.
Shiki is naked and is seeing hallucinations of her own body while floating in this endless void... suddenly she wakes up. She looks around and sees lines on everything... Touches a flower and kills it...

Mikiya and Toko comes to see Shiki, but only Toko is allowed to see her for some reason... Some nurses are saying something about how Toko is now in charge of this girl who Araya used to be in charge of... Shiki now has a blindfold on, I guess because she's still freaked out by her eyes. This is Aozaki Toko's first time meeting Shiki... She introduces herself as a sorcerer... Shiki says she has no need for one of those.
That's right... a sorcerer can't fill the whole in your chest. The only ones who can fill it are normal people... You've already realized that you're alone now, right?
Shiki is surprised about how much Toko knows...

That night, Shiki gets visited by some trippy looking figure that seems to be made up of the "Death" that only Shiki can see... it tries to go inside Shiki's body.

Was that just a hallucination or something? Next, Shiki is thinking to herself...
It's so beautiful here. It's so happy... but humans are so alone.
That woman who calls herself my councilor visited me every day. I realized that I had become dependent on my conversations with her.
Toko:
I see... So it's not that SHIKI-kun didn't have initiative over the body, but it's just that he didn't use it...
The two of you exist at the same time, each having their own experiences and will. And yet, the actions you take are the same. There isn't any other case of such a complex and bizarre dual personality.
Toko starts to wonder why SHIKI always sleeps, if they are essentially the same personality. Meanwhile Shiki is thinking about Mikiya... "His name is the only name I can't remember..."

Toko is talking to Mikiya about her...
She probably doesn't even have a sense that she's alive... but there will come a time when she'll realize that she's Shiki.
There's

Sailor Moon Crystal high session 12 (Black Moon finale)

ACT 25 - Showdown -Death Phantom-
Prince Demand now has posession of both silver crystals after getting them from wiseman and Sailor Moon... he's about to touch them together, which would create a paradox crash or something... Pluto comes in just in time to say "Stop"... the third taboo she must not commit...
If you were ever to commit such an act...
...and then the flashback ends.

King Endymion is the first to break through Pluto's power and find out she stopped time... the senshi and Mamoru all wake up soon too... then Black Lady...

Usagi comes up to Pluto... she explains that she committed the one thing that the queen warned would kill her if she did it...

I think I just figured out something about the manga story just now... Pluto dying and being reincarnated again so quickly by the end of s3... then doing the same for Saturn sort of... the outer Senshi, because of their connection to the time key holder, exist farther across in the 4th dimension and can freely travel through that fourth dimension...
okay whatever dunno where I was going with that random high thought.

Pluto yells at Usagi to grab the 2 crystals from Demande... she quickly snags them and runs back to her... does she even know which one is her's?

Pluto on her dying breath...
Sailor Moon... I beg of you, save Small Lady.
Next she brings Diana over with her warping magic she suddenly has? Oh yeah, I forgot she left Diana in charge of the door... She then looks at the king and recognizes how much she loves him as she passes away...

Oh gosh... These feels as soon as Usagi starts bawling her eyes out... and Chibiusa/Black Lady sits there, in total shock... as if time seemed to stop for her...
I am... black lady... I have no friends or allies... I am alone...
She remembers Pluto entrusting her to a very important time key...

And then it flashes back to when Small Lady went and stole a key from Pluto and ran off with it, before she became best friends with Pluto... She got in trouble by her mom for coming to see her even though she said Pluto is a close friend... Chibiusa asks Pluto:
I wonder if mama really loves me?
Hugging and kissing alone are not the only proof of love, Small Lady. Just thinking of someone, and quietly watching over them from afar is also a form of

Sailor Moon Crystal high session 11

ACT 23 - Covert Maneuvers -Wiseman-
Grown up Chibiusa takes Tuxedo Mask away... Pluto stops Moon from going after him...
In this place between space-time, where concepts such as distance or direction do not apply, there are places where pitfalls open up in the fearsome darkness.
But Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and Mars say they'll go with Moon, and try to reassure Pluto... Pluto ends up going with them too... they found Chibiusa's P-ball... and the moment it dawns on her that Chibiusa is lost out there too just like Mamoru, she faints...

Meanwhile, Black Lady takes Demande and Sapphir to some firey surface...
Due to the power of the Legendary Silver Crystal and the explosion earlier, fires started on the surface of this planet, and the fusion reactions began.
This is the surface of Nemesis, I think?
The planet was able to grow like this because you built the reactor and set up the Malefic Black Crystal fusion reaction system. Now Nemesis is an unbeatable planet.
Demande notices the Black Moon mark on Black Lady's forehead... "Who are you?"

Then she takes them through a portal into this void world... to a little platform floating in it...
That will be your new castle. Wiseman's Castle of Darkness.
Shit is getting real here...

Demande:
Wiseman... does he come from this twisted space?
Demande really can't tell who this lady is... Then wiseman tells them... "Have you met my Rabbit?"
Chibiusa:
Wiseman's will is absolute. His will is the truth. All we have to do is follow him without going astray.
Then she explains to Saphir that Rubeus rebelled against Wiseman and attempted to escape...

Demande finally loses his allegance with wiseman completely...
Show me your true form. What the hell are you plotting?
My will is absolute! You must serve me. Act according to my will.
His brainwashing works against them... then Black Lady gives them upgraded Black Crystal earrings... these earrings are what Wiseman uses to control his henchmen...

Wiseman asks why the silver crystal isn't glowing like it was before... Black Lady explains that only the Queen can unleash its power...

Now he wants to capture both Neo Queen Serenity and Sailor Moon. He gives Black Lady the crystal... However Demande isn't convinced that silver crystal is the real thing, and that Rabbit could be tricking Wiseman.

Now Usagi is in some fake wakeup dream where the dream characters try to convince her everything is normal...
We used your Luna-P to erase everyone's memories. We left the 30th century temporarily
