karenedIf I can find a drama which makes me cry, 4 months after my initial viewing, and only after rewatching the final episode, I know that it's been a great ride.
I cannot remember the exact plot points, but the emotions, I recall them like I've just went through it all. These few scenes in the final 10 mins of season 2. They killed me.
And this one. I have to disagree with his hypothesis. I agree with him on the parallel worlds, but would think that Jin-A slipped back in time in World A, but then after living through the Edo times, he cross-slipped forward into World B, hence meeting Jin-B. And then, Jin-B slipped back in time in World B, before cross-slipping forward into World C. And so on.
Otherwise, everything a 'new' Jin slips back in time, he will be armed with new medical knowledge as a result of the previous Jin's time slip into his world. i.e. Jin-B will bring advanced medical knowledge into World C because Jin-A had slipped into World B's Edo times and caused medical advances in World B's Edo times, accumulating to Jin-B's modern time knowledge. The accumulative impact is great...so perhaps in World Z's Edo times, Edo people would be able to find some cure for HIV or something already. LOL...
And so, Jin-A would have changed World A's history, and now lives in World B's modern world, reading the letter written by Saki-B...who in turn is in love with Jin-B...Kana sad if you understand what I mean. It's technically a love triangle...but with the same people...
Lastly, I have to say that I loved how everything is tied up so beautifully....this is simple narrative...
Jin season 1 episode 1 opening sequence, as narrated by Miki:
今度は俺が未来の為に…
この手で…！
And, I will bring even more light.
This time round, I will do it for the future...
With these hands.

Jin season 1 episode 1 opening sequence, as narrated by Miki:
闇ばかりの夜に、たった一人放り込まれてしまったら
あなたはそこで、光を見つけることができるだろうか
その光をつかもうとするだろうか
それとも
光なき世界に光を与えようとするだろうか
あなたのその手で
If you were thrown into the darkness of the night, all alone
Will you be able to find light there?
Will you grasp onto that light?
Or,
Will you bring light into that world without light?
With those hands of yours.
Jin season 2 episode 11 (finale) closing sequence, as narrated by Jin, as though he was addressing Miki after learning from the timeslip experience brought to him by Miki:
そして、更なる光を与えよう。今度は俺が未来の為に…
この手で…！
And, I will bring even more light.
This time round, I will do it for the future...
With these hands.
