To confirm their guessesthey going to Yuji's home and witness the things to prove existence of Yuji were vanished immediately, except the letters they gave Yuji before Christmas Eve. But Shana and Kazumi still believe Yuji is alive in somewhere.

Now she is same as normal human and lost contact with her contracter, Alastor(Japanese:アラストール), Alastor also knows as "Flame of the Heavens" (Japanese: 天壌の劫火, Tenjō no Gōka) a Crimson Lord equal exist to "God of Creation"  Sairei no Hebi.What will happend after Shana has been trapped? Does plan of Bal Masqué achieve? Will Yuji fight alongside with Shana again?

Conclusion:

Sakai Yuji: This is the last season for Shakugan no Shana, most peoples will confuse why Yuji had become leader of Bal Masqué and became enemies of Flame Haze include Shana. How could he combined with his enemy Sairei no Hebi after defeated Bal Masqué at Christmas Eve? In my opinion, Yuji always worry about his family and friends eaten by Crimson Denizens, he can protects peoples he cares through "Xanadu".To achieve his wishes same with Sairei no Hebi, they cooperate together to create a new future for all Crimson Denizens and Humans. He fight for his wish even someone who stop him is Shana. 

They fight for their determined
Yuji vs. Shana

Shana: After Yuji disappear in Misaki City training herself to become stronger as preparation for next battle. However, she has lose her battle and trapped by Yuji. On that time, she try to escape away but she failed it until her chance is coming and get back her power by helping of Tenmoku Ikko (Japanese:天目 一個) Mystes inside her Nietono no Shana. She found her answer also while trapped in Seirei- den. As a Flame Haze, she should running her duty for hunting Crimson Denizens and protect the balance of world. As Shana, a person who has emotion and feeling she unable to kill her love, Yuji. To solve these problems, only one way for her to defeated Yuji and survive together and find a new way that can be accepted by Flame Haze and Crimson Denizens.

Shana was trapped and helped by Tenmoku Ikko

  In the last season, both of them try to protect the world using their own way and protect their love and care, that what I attracted by last season of Shakugan no Shana III(Final).For the ending, Misaki City repaired include torch (Yukari Hirai),Yuji and Shana live together in "Xanadu" to protect the world. Hooray, Happy Ending!!!

Good Bye~

However, they were attacked by a weak strength Crimson Denizen while on the way to school. Yuji was asleep while in the middle of battle, it was a dream created by the weak strength Denizen. In the dream world he realised that some incident almost happened in the pass and he awake from his dream after he caught on to the fact of the dream world. Shana appeared and killed the Denizen immediately. However, Shana and Yuki fall into dreaming again, the Denizens that killed yesterday was a replacement from owner.

   After dreaming incident, Yuji's classes increse a new transfer student named Fumina Konoe look similar with one of Trinity,"Master Throne" Hecate (Japanese: 頂の座,Itadaki no Kura Hekatē).What will happen after arrival of Fumina Konoe and what is the related between Fumina Konoe and "Master Throne" Hecate?
  
Hecate


Fumina Konoe

The reasons for me to support this anime:

  Continue with last season, this anime has increase more plot and character setting compare to previous. On this season, the main character more focus in Yuji Sakai, he has been trained by others Flame Haze. He became stronger  than normal torch and available fight with Crimson Denizens. He can fight alongside with Shana no more suggest idea and protected by Shana. He had trained and increased his Power of Existence, he can battle with Bal Masqué although his Reigo Maigo extracted by Hecate, this may prove his determination to become stronger do not weight down Shana and protect city he lives.

Yuji fight alongside with Shana


  The season also adding triangle relationship between Yujii, Shana and Kazumi Yoshida (Classmate of Yuji and Shana). Johan (Japanese:ヨーハン, Yōhan) is the creater and owner of "Midnight Lost Child" and attack by Crimson Lord. For protecting him, his lover put him inside into Midnight Lost Child and found him for few years and finally been found in Misaki High School. Pheles (Japanese:彩飄フィレス,Saihyō Firesu) the Crimson Lord who fall in love with Johan. With Pheles coming, the secret of Fumina Konoe had been revealed too. The plot for this season is more tension and exciting because all incidents of this anime are arranged by the writter to reveal the trurh and aim of Bal Masqué.
