Spoiler (mouse over to view)
if the new monster really is a reborn Riful and Priscilla just dies at her hands like that things would be pretty anti-climatic
so far the mangaka hasn't disappointed in any storytelling yet though so i guess it remains to be seen.I wonder what difference Cadandra, the dust eater, being conscious again would make? It didn't seem like she was all that intriguing a character (i could be wrong <---own opinion) and it seems like all the other major players in the battle would do away with her pretty quickly.
Arg! wish they didn't rush the anime ending would've been amazing to see this part of series animated at some point!
