Can't Stop Hibari-kun: 42. Hibari Cannot Be Stopped by Conventional Means

The series saves one of its most interesting characters for literally the last seven pages of the manga, as we meet the manly, hot-blooded shonen archetype Gekijirou. As they bid farewell to the series, Rowan and Xan speculate on what might have been.

It’s part one of our finale, and the very last episode of the anime sees Hibari acquiring strange powers from the gender-affirming white alligators who secretly live in her home. Rowan and Xan discuss their most and least beloved characters of the series, as well as ideas for a Stop!! Hibari-kun! revival.

As the end of the series draws near, Rowan and Xan must face a terrible trial: an episode all about Kaji. He catches a cold and might miss a boxing match, which is basically the same thing as being a legendary swordsman who died of TB. Strap yourselves in.
