[ISM Flight 2 Anime]

Toradora! 13

The pro-wrestling performance for the class has ended and most of them were helping Taiga get prepared for the beauty contest. A person comes in and tell the class that they only have 20 minutes more and Ami had to prepare since she was the host as well. Ryuuji then shows Ami Taiga's costume and said that he made some special adjustments as well. The girls in the class were amazed by how Ryuuji made that dress and Ami rushes to prepare herself as well and Taiga gets changed into her white dress. Ryuuji is also confused about Ami and Taiga talking about changing lines. The beauty contest then begins with Ami as the host and most of the attention of the audience were focused on her. Ryuuji tries hard to keep out the noises from the other people who were cheering for Ami and the contestants appears one by one with most of them wearing maid costumes. Halfway through the contest, Ryuuji receives a sms from Taiga's father, telling him to pass a message to Taiga that something had cropped up and he was unable to live with Taiga again. Seeing that message, Ryuuji sees the past and realises that he was selfish and had cheered for Taiga and felt happy for her. Ryuuji also realises that the appearance of Taiga's father had made those 2 drift apart and felt angry at himself for not seeing the true nature of her father. Meanwhile, Taiga appears on stage and Ami had asked Taiga's father to come up to stage and say some words, thinking that her father was here. Ryuuji then understood the "changing lines" that the both of them had talked about. Seeing that her father really did not come to the festival, Taiga leaves the spotlight and trips over her dress and was pissed off. She rips off the bottom part of the dress and stands in the spotlight once again with Ryuuji and Minori both clapping and silently cheering for her. The others see the both of them doing that and cheers for Taiga as well after seeing how different she was in that dress. Taiga then continues with her performance and calmed herself down. Taiga was announced as the winner in the end and Ryuuji realises that she was alone all this while and decides to go to her once more. The student council president appears on the stage and announces the next event where one lucky guy will be able to place the tiara on Taiga's head and dance with her as well, and also her own notes. Everyone prepares themselves for the race and Ryuuji also joins in but was not for the prize that the winner will receive. The race begins and Ryuuji was hit down and exacted revenge again on the others and rushed to win the race using all his strength he has. Reaching the end of the race, he sees Minori also in the race when the both of them were stopped by track members. Minori throws the ball at them and urges Ryuuji to get to Taiga by himself and rushes back to prevent the others from catching up with him. Ryuuji however goes to Minori and the both of them walks into the finishing line together. During the night campfire, Kitamura joins in the fun and Taiga brings Minori to her and Ryuuji before leaving them together. Minori reveals that the exact same thing happened to Taiga's family one year ago and therefore did not believe her father. She then apologises to Ryuuji that she did not tell him the details as she was jealous about Ryuuji getting more close to Taiga compared to her. Everyone then got into a mass dance together and Kitamura also requested for Taiga to dance together with him.

*this episode could be an end to the anime too... seems a nice ending as well with the correct pairs together XD Taiga's face was a little different at the end... seems more matured lol!*
