Yami no Matsuei episodes 8-13
Hahaha what.
That is my cumulative opinion of the whole series.
THE PLAN
1) Be an EVIL GENIUS.
2) Hate your brother and want to kill him.
2a) DARNIT he is dead already.
3) Save his head.
4) Research organ transplants so you can figure out how to attach the head to a new body, and then kill him again. (Organ transplants are quite sinister, you know. That is why they are the villain in three of the four plotlines.)
5) Get an immortal guy who can't die's body and use that.
6) wait there are several problems with that last one
Questions about the finale, in roughly chronological order:
How can Tsuzuki be an immortal guy who is already dead? Why does he even have scars? Why are they only on one wrist? Why does his watchband even cover the scars - was he cutting the wrong way? Why did Hisoka go to the 7-11 alone in the middle of the night, when they all knew Muraki was killing people just to get Tsuzuki's attention, and Hisoka has historically been a person whom Muraki was willing to kill, either to get Tsuzuki's attention or just on general principles? What did Muraki need the other mad scientist for in the first place? Didn't the other mad scientist's research always fail, and wasn't it just on hearts anyway, and wasn't Muraki already conducting successful heart transplants in the last plotline? Why did Muraki express an interest in cloning when there was never going to be any actual cloning involved in the dead-brother project? Did any of his and the other mad scientist's actions actually accomplish anything that would make the Tsuzuki-dead-brother transplant operation more feasible? Was Muraki cutting people's hair so the guy could use it to grow hearts, and if so, why did he only take the hair; shouldn't he have taken some blood and stuff, too? Why did Muraki give his boyfriend the card key if he knew three shinigami with magical powers were going to show up and come after it? Why did they need the card key? Did Hisoka change clothes before the duel with Muraki's boyfriend? Did we ever find out what happened to Hisoka's parents, why Tsuzuki kept trying to kill himself, why Tsuzuki was immortal and why he did eventually die, where Tsuzuki got four gods, where Muraki got a dragon, why Muraki can teleport, why one of Muraki's eyes was weird, and why Watari had an owl? Did the owl talk?

Beats me.
> Why does he even have scars?
My fanwank is that he has scars from previous suicide attempts, just not the one that actually worked.
> Why are they only on one wrist? Why did Hisoka go to the 7-11 alone in the middle of the night, when they all knew Muraki was killing people just to get Tsuzuki's attention, and Hisoka has historically been a person whom Muraki was willing to kill, either to get Tsuzuki's attention or just on general principles?

"I have no idea" X 20
> Why did Muraki give his boyfriend the card key if he knew three shinigami with magical powers were going to show up and come after it?
In the manga, he just wants Oriya to delay them, not to prevent them entirely from coming. Presumably he thought he would derive some satisfaction from cackling evilly over Saki's head transplant and Tsuzuki's decapitated head or something.
> Did Hisoka change clothes before the duel with Muraki's boyfriend?
Yes. Yes, he did.
> Did we ever find out what happened to Hisoka's parents, why Tsuzuki kept trying to kill himself, why Tsuzuki was immortal and why he did eventually die, where Tsuzuki got four gods, where Muraki got a dragon, why Muraki can teleport, why one of Muraki's eyes was weird, and why Watari had an owl? Did the owl talk?
Mostly no. The manga currently stops abruptly in a storyline that seems to be explaining Hisoka's family history and that tells more about the process of getting shikigami (they are gods who live in the Internet and Tsuzuki has twelve because he's really powerful due to his mysterious nonhuman antecedents. Hisoka wants a powerful dragon shikigami and ends up with a cactus in a cowboy hat).

So is this whole series what happened when somebody put the book from Fushigi Yuugi on Project Gutenberg?
Hisoka wants a powerful dragon shikigami and ends up with a cactus in a cowboy hat).
That is the best thing ever.

Actually, three answers cover most of these questions: because Tsuzuki and Hisoka are dumb, because Muraki is a dick, and it was explained in the manga later.
