That was a sad episode to watch I was so happy with how the class was going and was hoping that he'll lead the students into better lives seeing as it seemed like the way things will go. Such a happy atmosphere and was even thinking of rewatching this episode (a first for me for any anime) but then they had to go and kill all of them Not a single one survived Being ignorant, hasty and stupid since you can't think on your own leads to these kind of situations So sad right now

If anything I thought Enju's reaction was more heartbreaking than the deaths themselves, her scream as she fought her way into the coroner's room and saw all the bodies gave me chills. Poor Enju.

yes, this too. Enju screaming was painful as well Just the whole situation with them dying was painful. Let's not forget Rentaro seeing the bodies one by one and identifying them by names. That was heartbreaking as well

That wasn't heartbreaking. Shit came out of nowhere and finished up so quickly, it hardly meant anything. If it had happened after they save the monolith, it would have at least had a point.

where the cursed children's school was bombed, killing most of the class. In the middle east, the extremist interpreters of Sharia law, bomb girl's schools all the time, because women are "unfit" for education, or they don't need it etc. etc. tame reasoning compared to most of their lunatic thoughts, they also torture, maim, rape, and mutilate the girls/boys too, to invoke fear

for all the other cursed children as well, there are a few nice people here and there, (the detective in ep 1 is actually friends with Rentaro in the light novel, Dr. Sumire, the other old doctor who treats the cursed child, the old man Misuzaki who took care of the cursed children of the sewers,Seitenshi, somewhat Kisara, but rarely is there someone so outspoken for their cause like Rentaro is. Hell it's not even a cause thing, that's a concept for adults, but Rentaro outright treated them as normal little girls (appropriately), so it's natural they respond to him.

Rentaro asks Kisara what was the point of fighting for these people, and whom were they fighting for; what was the point. Kisara tells Rentaro to exact Justice. Rentaro bitterly laughs and asks her what Justice was there in their cesspool of a world. It's also exactly moments before the Monolith collapses.

The blind cursed child is seen praying, and the physical form of "Justice" is a blind woman with a scale in one hand, sword in another. Also, I'm sure not more than a few of Americans silently watched and remembered, not in a political way, but the way the monolith fell. I felt the same chill I felt in my body, when I came home from school in 2001 on a mild September morning.

I think you are overthinking some of the things that happened in the last episode, basically the monolith collapsing comparison you made. I don't believe that the authors had that interpretation in mind but I could be wrong. As for the middle east, I can only presume you mean Afghanistan seeing the crimes that the Taliban do over there.

I'll be willing to admit that they could've shown more interaction between Rentaro and the students but I wasn't thinking they'll kill them. If anything, at one point, I was wondering whether they'll volunteer to join him or something seeing as they need all the help they can get. I believe the point was that hatred for the cursed children is at an all time high as is evident by someone using a bomb which even had some varanium in it. Yes, it's meaning would've be stronger afterwards since it means that parts of humanity haven't accepted the cursed children but regardless, episode tried to build up the bond then tore it down by the end.

ps look at it from their perspective, you'll see my point.
