Shugo Chara Chapter 40 - WHAT!?

This post is spoilerrific. At the end of the last chapter, Amu, Ikuto, and Tadase were getting ready to hop onto the special elevator that leads directly to Gozen's chambers. Amu asks what sort of person Gozen is, but Ikuto doesn't know. Gozen has always been hidden, and he can't even be sure if it's male or female. They find Gozen's throne, but all that's left there is a voice changer. They follow the hallway and find themselves in a room full of jewels. Beyond that is a throne and the young boy who Amu has run into various times. As it turns out, that child (Hikaru) is Gozen, the leader of Easter!

He says he wants the Embryo because it's a pretty jewel, but the Embryo loses its glow when he holds it. He casts it aside, saying he's no longer interested in it. He sees the dark egg that controlled Ikuto and decides that he wants that instead. Ikuto calms the darkness of the egg using his violin and that egg also loses it's power. Again, Gozen is suddenly uninterested. Amu can't believe that this child would bring out so many X-Eggs just to collect the Embryo, only to toss it away after he gets it. The principal appears saying that he's come to collect the missing page from his picture book and that he will reveal Hikaru's past.


Whaaat? Well, I absolutely did not expect thiiiiis. The fact that that child is Gozen is a nice twist. The fact that he's a bizarre brat with only an interest in collecting pretty rocks is...weird. It kinda feels like a letdown. He only wanted the Embryo because it was pretty, and now he doesn't even care? Ugh. I'm also surprised that Kukai hasn't shown up to the final showdown. ::sigh:: Well, here's hoping that Hikaru's past is interesting enough to give the story a satisfying ending.
