But were Kengo and Masato on that bus as well? I presume so, but that isn’t explicitly spelled out. Obviously a bus crashed, obviously Kyousuke and the “outer ring” of the Little Busters – Komari, Haruka, Mio, Kuragaya and Kud – were on-board. In practical terms, I don’t think it’s wholly clear yet just what happened on the terrible night we finally see in detail this week. But I don’t think it’s as simple as him taking Riki’s hand and finally saying goodbye, the artificial world he built succumbing to the void and taking the others with it. Staff chose to end this episode with the OP rather than the ED, because in a sense this was the beginning that Kyousuke has been building towards all along – “The frozen time will start to move”. I think it was quite a fitting choice that J.C. We have three episodes remaining, and the next is titled “The End of the World”. You can start with the second question, which is obviously unavoidable. The way I see it there are two principal questions that are central to the story and likely to be addressed in the remaining three episodes:
There’s still one big outstanding question – just how, exactly, did Kyousuke do what he did? But given Key’s track record I think there’s a good chance we’ll never get a definitive answer on that one beyond the usual Key “Stuff just happens, deal with it”. The general nature of what was happening has been pretty clear for a while now, and nothing that Kyousuke revealed will likely have contradicted what most new viewers had guessed was going on. But that didn’t stop it from being one of the best episodes in LB’s three cours of anime. I won’t say there were a whole lot of surprises in this episode of Little Busters, starting with the fact that most (but not all) of the secret of this world was revealed.
