This review contains spoilers

Cold Steel 3 is where the Erebonia arc really started cooking. Cold Steel 2 Finale and Epilogue is where you started to see characters more fleshed and especially Reans character realizing the reality of his current world situation opening and how complicated things can be along with his mental health and mindset on growing up. Cold Steel 3 perfectly follows up from the last Cold Steel 2 chapters and absolutely cooks.

Plot lines that were foreshadowed in 3rd and built up in the games previous taking effect, the reward for having followed the games through the order and starting from Sky. Reans inner conflict with himself and not going into spoiler territory obviously but his character overal finally starts to build from lots of cold steel 1-2 moments and it only gets better on from here especially heading into CS4 and Hajimari Reverie.

Cold Steel 3 Chapter 4 and Finale are absolutely one of the best ever leading into Cold Steel 4. One hell of an ending. It had me shocked and speechless watching what happened. It was a rush of emotions all over and one of the craziest I have ever experienced in Kiseki especially with the game ending right then and there.

“Thus marks the beginning of the flame's end. Despair washes over the empire, the continent...the world. But don't lose hope. Even in this darkness, flashes of light remain. In every heart, every pair of joined hands, and in eyes fixed firmly on the future. Rest for now...then rise once more. To see this wretched fairy tale through to the end.“
