Angel Beats! 10 was a rather sweet episode but happy things don't last long...Otonashi tells Kanade that he's going to start off with Yui first as she seems to be the most carefree one and would be easy to make her move on. Kanade later shows Otonashi her new Hand Sonic Vers. 5 which appears to be more "evil" as Otonashi suggested to her to make her weapons more evil-looking since the others are thinking of her as that bloodthirsty Kanade. Otonashi then tells Kanade of the plan to allow him to have some time alone with Yui. Kanade was to enter the GirlDeMo practice room, tell Yui that her guitar is killing the band, take away her guitar and while Yui is chasing her, Otonashi will knock into Kanade and return the guitar to Yui. Meanwhile, during GirlDeMo's practice session, the others suggest to Yui that she should either sing or play her guitar as her rhythm is off. Coincidentally, Kanade comes in and tells her that, takes away her guitar but Yui was too shocked to chase after her. The plan didn't really went quite well but when Yui decided that she still preferred holding a guitar and singing, she goes out and chases Kanade for her guitar and with the plan finally succeeding, Otonashi was given some time to chat with Yui. Yui tells Otonashi that when she was alive, she was paralyzed from an accident and was always bound to the bed, unable to do anything and she feels sad for her mother who takes care of her everyday. Thus, in this world, she hoped to accomplish things that she was never able to do while she was alive, which mostly were things she watched on television. Otonashi didn't expect her to have so many "regrets" but still tried to accomplish every single dream she has. So firstly, Otonashi teaches her pro-wrestling and was the victim of her German Suplex which was a professional move and she have totally no experience in it. So after almost losing consciousness too many times, Otonashi had almost given up on her but with her determination, Otonashi teaches her how to do a bridge first and finally after some hard work, she finally managed to do a German Suplex and was all smiles. Yui then wants to play soccer and score after making past 5 people. Otonashi then went to find TK and asks him to group up more people and then, Otonashi shows them a letter from "Tenshi" which was to challenge the men to a soccer match. Noda had almost went to find Yuri to inform her about this situation but Otonashi manages to brainwash him with "men's pride". So off the guys go to the soccer field but sees Yui there instead, running towards the goal. Everyone felt suspicious at first but still didn't want to lose and went forward to stop her. However, Yui manages to dribble past all the guys and even score against Hinata with Otonashi and Kanade's help from the sidelines. The next "dream" for Yui was to hit a homerun in baseball which Otonashi didn't quite believe that it would be possible for her but still helped her for a few days, trying to let her achieve her dream. When Yui finally sees that it really was impossible for her to hit a homerun, she then tells Otonashi then it was alright as she was once paralyzed but was now having so much fun. Otonashi asks her if she still have anymore regrets left and Yui replies him that it was marriage. She wonders if anyone could marry her even though her body was like that and then Hinata comes in and tells her that he would marry her despite her handicap. Yui tells Hinata that they'll not be able to meet as she was always in bed but Hinata explains that one day, he'll hit a baseball into her window and while he goes to retrieve it, they will meet and he'll come and visit her every single day and fall in love with her in the end. After the small "flashback" on how they'll meet, Yui disappears from their world and Otonashi asks Hinata if it was all right and tells Otonashi that he, too, have to look after the others as well. Then, a new enemy seemed to have appeared that stunned both Noda and Ooyama as Noda sees the enemy as a shadow and have no idea what he was cutting at all and Yuri is puzzled by this phenomenon.
well, it did made me teary-eyed at the last part where the "flashback" was shown and how they'll meet, it was like so touching =X i didn't really expect that kind of ending at the start with all the happy situations going on, until Hinata comes in and tells Yui that he will marry her. The pictures with the wonderful song played in the background were a wonderful combination and the feel was really there and then, the impact came when all was left at the pitch was Yui's helmet and she was gone and this time, Hinata seems to be helping Otonashi from now on... seeing that there's ard 3 episodes left, it would be quite impossible to have the others slowly disappearing like this and there's also the shadow thing to look into... im hoping the last few episodes to not rush too much and hopefully the ending would be great...
