With its final pages providing a glimpse, although a rather muted one, of a concluding statement, Volume 4 managed to continue briefly the strong quality of its preceding volume, but only to find itself stumbling back to its melodramatic formulas of the series' initial tales. That being said, Umezz seemed to have found further confidence throughout the series, with Orochi's purpose as a storytelling device and her distinction from those observed greater defined. While the author-artist finds himself returning to an over-involved presence in his final story, it remains restrained in comparison, saving itself from potentially being another loathsome readthrough.

Ah, the last volume of the series. I’ve definitely enjoyed working my way through the whole series, but I’m a bit disappointed that the mangaka never really learned how to wrap up a story. Eyes was great, but Blood will always hold that special place in my heart. It was interesting to see the slight differences between this version and the original English printing. Flipped cells aside, the Perfect Edition also had less panels per page in some cases, which neither added nor subtracted from the story in any way - just an interesting observation.
