Author's Commentary #174:
It's finally time to talk about the Season 5 finale. Chapter 174: Rain and Rebirth.
The chapter mainly gives an update on what's going on with everyone, starting with the fairy league. Heather has entered her fallen arc and is now Heather Spriggan of the Spriggan league. ヘザー・スプリガン (Heather Spriggan) is how her new name is written in katakana.
Even though this is the last chapter of the season, a new character, Melisha, has been introduced. I'll give her bio first.
メリシャ・カマレオン (Melisha Kamaleon) is how Melisha's name is spelled in katakana. Her surname is an obvious pun on "Chameleon". As for her alias,
メリシャ・ヴスレンドルショーヴ (Melisha Vousrendrechauve) is how it is spelled in katakana. Here, her surname Vousrendrechauve is French for "Make you bald". Thus her alias is essentially "Melisha make you bald".
(If I made any mistakes with the translation, feel free to correct me).
Her true birthday is actually a mystery, but she is currently listing September 13th, which is Bald is beautiful day, as her birthday. Maybe this is her real birthday, or maybe it isn't.
Her favorite piece is the queen, though she refuses to elaborate why.
It's obvious there's lots of mystery surrounding Melisha, and to be honest, I haven't yet finalized what her character will ultimately be. But for now, she certainly bears many similarities to a certain hair stylist from one of my other series.
As for the ending, Jackie Egghead is claiming to be Numakawa. However, things aren't so clear. The exact conditions of the wager were never shown, and it's not truly certain if Jackie's memories and consciousness are truly gone. Not to mention, Skaberghast actually decided to get off his ass and go confront her himself.
This segways into Season 6. Originally, I planned for Season 6 to be one of the longest arcs in the series. However, I changed my plans and instead it ended up having less chapters than Season 5.
However, before Season 6, there will first be some short, but 100% canon to the main story smaller arcs, which I dub, "Side Stories" . There's a few of them along with some one-off specials, but they are really good. But to hype you up for Season 6, I'll reveal two things about it. First, Skaberghast will be the main antagonist of the season, and second, it will feature a tournament. I hope you look forward to what's to come for this series.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
