Ah! My Goddess, Volume 6: Last Dance
The final episodes of the broadcast seriesAh My Goddess(2005) introduce additional elements from Norse legends, including the Fenris Wolf and the Midgard Serpent. With some help from Skuld, Belldandy unleashes her full powers to save Urd and Keiichi from the Lord of Terror, who is also an embodiment of the Ultimate Destruction Program. Virtue and the love between Belldandy and Keiichi triumph over evil, as Terror suffers the humiliating fate of being degaussed. The story really ends with episode 24: A romance between a child version of Urd and a timid boy, and Skuld's foretaste of maturity feel like afterthoughts to fill out the number of episodes. But fans of this popular fantasy-romance aren't likely to quibble over problems of narrative structure as long as their favorite characters continue their usual high jinks.
