Cake fight was wtf. Garuda himself is wtf. Dick song was wtf.

Speculation



Sera mentioning Conan's name.
Sera knew Conan and Ran's identities before they introduced themselves. Although she claimed to know Ran from Karate tournaments, she additionally recognized Conan as a detective. This may indicate Sera has done research or follows stories about Conan's achievements or that she has had direct or indirect contact with Conan and Ran. However, Ran and Conan didn't recognize Sera. Sera might be one of Ran's martial arts rivals, although Ran, did not recognize her. In file 771, it is revealed that she also knows Professor Agasa, although she calls him "Professor whatshisname".
[edit]Shuichi Akai's younger sister


Sera and Shuichi Akai.
Sera might be the younger sister of Shuichi Akai. Sera has bags under her eyes identical to Shuichi Akai's. Also, Sera Masumi's name is also incredibly similar to Mobile Suit Gundam character Sayla Mass (セイラ・マス, Seira Masu). Akai's name is derived from Sayla Mass's older brother's name, Char Anzable. Also, Conan said he has a feeling he had met her before.
“ Somehow I feel like we've met her before, it might be that person resembles someone I know, that's why the feeling that we've met before is on my mind... „
Sera lived in Japan until three years ago when her family moved to America. This matches with the time when Akai was infiltrating the Organization. The family's move to America could be the FBI's attempt to protect them should something go wrong with Akai's mission.

I sort of felt like alot of stuff at the end was skipped over, just to get to the part when they were in the Main Corridor in the Original Hive. Would have been interesting seeing them initially infiltrate the Hive, and then making it down to where they did. Oh well.

I also wasn't expecting EVERYONE other than Takeru and Kasumi to die. At least, until Ayamine and Sakaki decided to go on that mission to blow up the entrance... Ayamine was such a fucking badass, holy shit. I need to find that CG with her damaged Takemikazuchi standing up, with blood spattered all over it, holding a severed BETA head. And then, manly tears were had T_T. Same for Meiya, they really put alot of effort into those animated sequences at the end.

Tons of manly tears were had, for a bunch of people who originally were Highschool harem girls! Muv Luv being able to do THAT is impressive. The huge change the characters go through, how they are in Extra compared to Alternative, is just crazy, ESPECIALLY Takeru. Takeru was the really generic harem male lead, and a character type I really disliked in Extra. And then in Unlimited, he got his ass beat by MPs, got forced through basic training, got to shit his pants at the thought of war, and eventually, molded into a pretty manly soldier. Then comes Alternative, where he just builds on that, and he becomes a badass like Amuro in Char's Counter Attack.
