The Eden of Grisaia: True Ending

The Eden of Grisaia is the final installment of this particular series of Grisaia. There are several other side stories, add ons, and alternative stories you can obtain and play through but to my knowledge, this is the final chapter of the story of Yuuji and the girls of Mihama Academy.

Unlike the previous games where your path is subjective based on the girl that you decide to spend time with and your ending is based on the girls themselves, this one could be seen as an alt world experience where the story centers around the protag and his past finally catching up to him and how he has grown as a person since attending the Academy with the girls.

So to keep concise on this story the first two Grisaia's are still considered to have happened with some minor alterations. The idea is that thanks to Yuuji he has managed to help all of the girls with their issues to some extent and in doing so they have all fell for him in their own way. Some changes such as Makina no longer calling him 'papa', Sachi still wearing her maid outfit and the school was not destroyed, Yumiko didn't have to run and hide with him for a year, and Amane and he was never attacked. The only one that stayed pretty much the same was Michiru, I have a feeling this was because she is 'best girl'.

The Academy however is slated to be shut down after Yumiko did get her father removed as the Chairman of his company. Because of that, they are all told that they will have to leave the Academy on a certain day. Before this happens Yuuji is called out on a mission to 'eliminate' a Terrorist that has made his way into the nation. Upon getting to the location he finds out that his target is none other than Heath Oslo the man that had made him into the killing machine that he was before being taken in by Asako. 

Yuuki unable to pull the trigger is taken into the custody of the company he works for. It is there that he finds out from JB of a very sorry situation. Heath has declared he has a new weapon of mass destruction that he's smuggled into Japan and is setting it up to be used unless his demands are met. This involves them handing Yuuji over to him.

To keep the status quo the Government and the Company agree to the demand and begin to make the preparations including setting Yuuji up to be seen as a Terrorist himself. The girls see the events unfold on television and they can not believe that Yuuji was in fact a terrorist.

The events all come down to the day they leave the school, it is on this day they are all told they have to make a choice on what to do with their lives now that they are being removed from the protective walls of the school and are now forced to enter back into society. The turn of events that led to Yuuji being arrested left the girls each searching for their own way to handle the situation. To that end, Yumiko determines that she will do all she can to help Yuuji and get him from the company he works for.   

Amane for her part has the ability to return to her home and help her parents with their restaurant and in her mind, she can also bring Makina with her which has become like a daughter of sorts to her. Of all the girls her past may be one of the more gruesome of them all but she still has a home to return to if she chooses. After thinking though she realizes that she can't leave things as they are, her love for Yuuji is stronger than that. And with that as her resolve, she decides to join Yumiko in her idea of finding a way to save Yuuji.

 

Sachi has no home to return to, her father died in a traffic accident and her mother is in a coma most likely to never wake up again. Her only salvation was the Academy itself and with it soon shutting down she has little else to do. She is offered the chance to transfer schools to continue her education, but her circumstances may not be ideal for such a thing. However she knew full well she can not integrate herself into society as she is now nor may she ever be able to she only has one thing on her mind, she wants to save Yuuji and be with him.

Makina whose father was murdered by men loyal to her mother and the Main Family of their company has made it clear she would never return to her mother or to the family she ran from. Instead, she rather spends her time learning and excelling in the things that Yuuji taught her. He had started teaching and training her to be a sniper much like he was, she has always looked up to Yuuji and it was through this that she realized she loved him. With that in mind she, as well as Sachi both, agree to help Yuuji any way they can, and that means joining Yumiko and Amane.

Michiru is the last one to make the choice and it fits her character. Despite her being a complete idiot and slow, she is the one that places herself in a position to keep the others together and places them above herself in almost everything she does. The girls give her a hard time but at the end of the day, they know that without Michiru they wouldn't be able to continue on the way they have. Michiru however has her own worries and problems, namely the multiple personalities that she has that can at times take control of her body. Though they have both gotten good at trading places instantly there is still hesitation on her part to jump all in. She wants to, she believes in Yuuji and loves him, almost more so than the other girls, but she is also indecisive which leads her to second-guessing herself in just about everything she does.

With the girls all agreeing to do their part to help find and rescue Yuuji, they set off from the school in the pursuit of their dreams or to die trying. The girls find themselves living in a houseboat that Yumiko bought to act as a base of operations while she gathered information to find Yuuji. The other girls did what they could as well, Amane cooked and took care of supplies, Sachi and Makina hit the streets and looked for information or helped with other chores. Michiru really doesn't have any real talents but she does try to help when she can. 

Through their investigations, they find an info broker that Yumiko goes and visits to get information on Yuuji. At first, she isn't sure what to make out of the man she meets but soon the man lets her in on a secret, he's a former 'Bush dog Member' the one and only Robert 'The Invincible' Wooley. He was also a former technician in the employment of the same company as Yuuji until his termination.

At around the same time, the girls are doing their part, Yuuji and JB are relived of their posts. Yuuji is drugged around the clock to keep him from doing anything to escape. JB is being held until the trial and court marshal of Yuuji. It is at this time that Yuuji is requested by 'her' the Scientist in the basement. And her word is absolute so he is taken to her. He finds out the sorted story of his sister and how she has become the 'organic' piece of a new system that is used to keep track of everything from personal emails, phones, corporate, CCTV's and is part of the National Defense Network. It is called Thanatos a newer and more advanced version of SIGNET the US-based Intelligence gathering system. 

Despite this development, Yuuji doesn't seem overly overwhelmed by the news but this could be due to the drugs he's been given. It is at this time that Kasumi or "Thanatos" actively seeks out and contacts the girls themselves and begins to provide them with much-needed support. Between the girls and Thanatos, they start to make preparations to help save Yuuji and to make their dreams come true.

It is here that things take off and the girls with the help of Thanatos that the group is able to prepare, Sachi is tasked with getting Yuuji as well as use her homemade explosives to distract the enemy. Makina is tasked with taking out the armored cars that are taking Yuuji to the drop point with Heath. She is given a custom AMR (Anti-Material Rifle) with specialized shells to do this task. Yumiko is tasked as the field commander and gives orders as the situation changes, Amane is the getaway driver. And Michiru is used by Thanatos to acquire the funds they need to get things ready. 

In the end, Thanatos reached out to others that she wanted to help as well, Chiziru the teacher and principal of the Academy, JB the former Handler of Yuuji, Captian John 'J' the former commander of the Bush Dog Unit, Mellie a newly trained pilot that was a former member and sniper in the Bush Dog Unit. And another former Bush Dog Unit member to help Mellie get her Attach Helio off the ground. With all the people ready, Thanatos got the items she needed, weapons, supplies, a ship, aircraft, a car, and funding.  

On the day that Yuuji was being transported a team led by Heath's personal guard attempted to take Yuuji for themselves and it was at that time that the girls launched their own plan. With Makina knocking out the engines with her AMR Sachi was able to collect Yuuji by hiding herself in smoke and getting him away from the enemy. Amane shows up with Michiru and picks up Yuuji and the other two girls and they leave the area with Heath's guards in tow.

After a bitter fight and long amounts of travel, they finally make it back to the houseboat and meet back up with Yumiko. During the time that Yuuji is being rescued by the girls, Thanatos is disconnected from the computer system she was part of. Her body has been repaired and the once damaged arm had been replaced. Not using her body in years she wasn't able to do much which is where JB came in.

JB and the girl that now calls herself Thanatos make their way out of the facility and meet up with a CIA Operative that has helped them on their mission. Once everyone is ready they get the ship that they had Michiru purchase and then meet up with the girls at the houseboat. The ship is a full size and fully optimized version of a Germany U-boat Submarine. This acts as a platform for them to leave Japan. 

As they are moving into open waters Yuuji makes the call to head to the large floating fortress that Heath is on to end things once and for all and to confront and to kill Heath and bring himself some closure. This of course will mean he can't allow himself to be unresponsive when he has to kill. Using the Helio that Millie stole she flies him close to the fortress and drops him off. 

The drugs he had been given are wearing off and as they do he places himself into a killing frenzy like state that allows him to freely move and kill anyone in front of him. Moving through the fortress he uses the enemy's knives and guns against them moving down each hallway and removing the enemy at every turn. 

Reaching the deck of the fortress he comes face to face with his 'brother' which is nothing more than a clone of sorts. Long short, using Yuuji's genes and placing them into a fertilized egg and putting it into a woman they were able to create this soldier that looked much like Yuuji and had his skills. It is a tough fight and during the fight, Yuuji is given several injections of drugs that enhance the abilities of those that use it to the point that his body almost collapses on itself. The stimulants are given to agents in the field for a variety of reasons but they all end up the same way, eventually, these stimulants can cause death.

With his 'brother' dead and Yuuji on the brink of bleeding out himself, he makes his way to Heath where they fight one last time and Yuuji ends up killing him. It is after this that he finds out that Heath Oslo is actually not just a person but a 'title' given to the person that takes that position within the organization. This is one of the only choices you can make in this Visual Novel. You can choose to refuse the position of the next "Heath Oslo" or you can become the next one. To get the "True Ending" You have to decline. 

The Visual Novel then discusses the aftermath of the destruction of Heath and the fortress as well as the loss of Yuuji. While he's not dead they for a while didn't know where he was or when he would return. During this time they find an island that was left to Yuuji when Asako passed away. Using the ship they had they went to the island and established a paradise of their own. They rebuilt the school and got it credited to be a true school of the nation of Japan. In the end, 2 years have passed since the events of the fortress, Yuuji returned to them after 6 months of medical attention. He is no longer part of the Company, the Company as disbanded as well as the Thanatos system destroyed. 

The lives of Yuuji, his sister, and the five girls along with the adults that have been supporting them continues on in our thoughts only. 

I feel it important to let you know that as far as the 'sexual aspect' there isn't much in the way of H-Scenes or anything like that, but there are several discussions about some sexual events between Yuuji and other women. That said this Visual Novel does have a lot of blood, guts, and violence in it compared to the others. There are a few pictures that are a bit rough for some people to stomach but beyond that, this one was actually pretty tamed.
