'Money Heist' Season 5 Vol 1: Tokyo's sacrifice has fans crying in 'sadness and joy'

Fans were shocked when they watched Tokyo selflessly sacrifice herself for the team, becoming the latest casualty on the show

‘Money Heist’ has a knack for giving us major heartbreaks with some of the stuff they put out on the show. Most importantly, when it comes to death, the show takes the ‘Game of Thrones’ approach. As soon as you start liking a character, he or she will be killed off brutally.

In Season 4, it was Nairobi’s death that broke every one. So, the makers thought how to top that? Simple. Kill one more major character so that people wait to see how the group takes revenge for her demise. Season 5 is no different, but this time, the death leaves an even deeper impact and hurts even more than the Season 4 ending.

So, hold your breath. Season 5 sees Tokyo being the latest casualty and fans have gone berserk after seeing her death scene. In the end moments, Tokyo (Ursula Corbero) is hit by the bullets of the sniper but is still alive. However, soon she faces several military personnel on her own and she is trapped like a rabbit in the hole. She fights back and injures some of the army personnel, but she gets overpowered and finally, the moment arrives when multiple bullets pierce her body and she dies.

Before dying, she did one amazing thing and took all the pins out of the grenades, killing Gandia as well. However, Tokyo’s death has come as a shock to many and social media is buzzing with emotional reactions. One of the users said, “The worst part is Tokyo died.” Another fan said, “Last 10 minutes of the last episode of #MoneyHeist will bring tears in your eyes. Tears of Extreme Sadness + Tears of Extreme Joy Mark my words "You'll become XXL fan of TOKYO after finishing volume 1.”

“RIP TOKYO! You were a fighter!” said another one. “Just finish the Money Heist Season 5 Volume 1. And I still keep on crying. #Tokyo,” one user added. “I didn’t think Tokyo’s death would hit like this,” another user shared.

Another social media user said, “Haven't cried this much ever for a show, even Jack Pearson's death wasn't this much for me. Tokyo.” Another fan noted, “Jesus!!! Did y'all watch Money Heist??? The Tokyo part is giving goosebumps like bruh I'm replaying it again and again!!” Another user said, “Literally shouting at the top of my lungs seeing Tokyo sacrifice herself.”

“That ending was absolutely perfect because I couldn’t name someone more selfless than Tokyo,” opined another user.

Elsewhere, the heist team has been divided into two teams. One is trapped inside a room and desperately trying to come out. Meanwhile, Denver, Manila, Stockholm, and Helsinki are in some other room. The Professor is shaking after getting to know that Tokyo is dead and it will be interesting how he moves forward with the plan. 

‘Money Heist’ Season 5 will be returning for Part 2 on December 3, 2021.
