Some people claim that those Mongolian flowers are poisonous and that Ein ate
one when Zwei died, but I've researched and there is no reliable source that
tells us that those flowers are really poisonous. Some people claim that
actually, they weren't together, Zwei was somewhere else, and others claim
that Ein killed Zwei.

Did both Ein and Zwei die? What did really happen there?

What did really happen in the end of Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom?


The anime ending is different from the visual novel.  
Ein and Zwei were definitely together in that last scene because Ein was
talking to him.

The poisonous flower idea is a fan theory without official source. There are
no official explanations of what happened in the last scene. It does make
sense, though, to assume Ein committed suicide after Zwei got shot, and the
flowers are the best and easiest tools for her suicide.

Since there's no official explanation, you can go with whatever idea you want.

It actually makes the watcher confused.

In the anime, Reiji was unexpectedly shot by an assassin (a man on a cart).
They were in Mongolia's countryside when it happened (Reiji was also not too
far from Eren).  
After it, we see a smiling Eren, a flower, then the bullet that killed (?)
Reiji on the ground and we see this flower again but one of its petals has
disappeared. There are several fan theories about it. Still, none have been
confirmed.

I think the producers just wanted a striking end and that's it. This is a
shocking end.

At the end both of the Phantoms died. Remember the boss of Inferno? Remember
what he said? He said that they should do what they are supposed to do as the
Inferno and that means to kill both the phantoms.

The happy thing is at least Elen had her wish fulfilled before her death and
Reiji also kept his promise to Elen. They did not die before their wish or
promise got fulfilled. That is the happy ending.

As for Reiji, the killer shot him with a silencer. But wait, why was he
standing for prolonged time and did not move or speak a word or at least moved
a muscle? Because he was so happy at that moment ( because he kept his promise
and dreamt to pass the rest of his life by making Elen happy) that he did not
even notice the bullet wound. Then finally just dropped on his right side
paralyzed; thinking what happened, who shot him. Likely the shot hit on his
right side. Remember Scythe master shot him 3 bullets on his left side and was
still alive. He might still be alive now. The motivation? It is for Eren. But
it could be also the case that the killer made sure he died. As the anime did
not make any more episode, so we are concluding that Reiji is dead.

For Eren, she did not realize anything. Because firstly, the Ulanbator spot
that we saw was full of mountains, cloud, birds, insects, animals, wind and
many more. The sound of the nature can distract you easily. Secondly, Elen was
engaged in thinking. She was truly happy because she regained her memory by
seeing the sky of Mongolia and feeling the gentle breeze. Just like Reiji got
his memory back by seeing his passport. So she happily looked back at Reiji
and saw him unconscious by then, lying in the ground. Thats why we saw that
even if Elen smiled ( it was for regaining memory), the smile was not
complete. As if it was blocked in the midway and so she got her gloomy sad
expression of eyes. Or it may be because, she immediately understood the
situation that the Inferno is after them. So she had to accept the fate. What
will she do now by trying to survive? Why she would live now when Reiji is
dead? She just wanted a peaceful life with Reiji. But as her promise of
regaining her memory has been fulfilled, she can now gladly die alongside
Reiji. Thats why we saw that last smile on her face.

Then the killer also shot her and the bullet we saw in the green field at the
very last moment indicates the assassination of Eren. One can argue, if she
died by bullet, then where is the blood? Remember Reiji? We also did not see
any blood when he was shot.

At the end of the day, Eren died in her motherland peacefully; knowing her
identity and also same goes for Reiji. Yes, the anime got separated from the
novel. But come on guys, it is just to make the anime more unexpected yet an
interesting FINALE. Afterall noone lives forever. If they had to die oneday,
be it in their motherland, fulfilling their wishes. This is one happy
satisfying end for the phantoms, isn't it?
