Final boss impossible because of random falling blood
I tried 20 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ times and I lose everytime, sometimes even before the second string because of that stupid random pattern impossible to dodge. I won't play this game anymore and I don't advise anyone to try it, I'm disgusted by this absurd ♥♥♥♥.

i guess this is the good place to do so. Took me a good while figuring out the boss mechanism as i kept getting instant death at certain point and i can't seemed to find a good tutorial explaining the mechanism about it.

The boss fight IS easy but it can be super hard or impossible for players who are too good at this. Yes i mean good at this type of game. You need to be "slow" to be able to win the fight.

This boss DOES have a script written to it making it impossible to defeat until certain "requirement" is fulfilled during the fight.

To defeat the boss, you are required to cut 4 "Bond Ties" using the scissor in the fight while avoiding the falling dead bodies of the kids and the blood explosion on the floor.

The falling kid bodies are easy to dodge like what others said up there, you just need to look at the shadows on the floor and avoids them.

1st tie is easy, cut any of them right after you can move your character. Preferable to do it from right side to left just to ease your life.

2nd tie you need to wait until the boss says "Don't Move", just run around none stop until all 6 blood explosions are gone before you cut the 2nd tie. As long as you are moving, they won't get you.

3rd you need to wait for the speech dialog from the boss to disappear and your heart beat become slower before you can cut that 3rd tie. If you do this part too fast, a script will trigger and instant death can't be avoided. (This is where most people failed because they tried to cut the 3rd tie too fast.)

4th, right after you cut the 3rd, the boss will say something like "Move around and run!" DO NOT move too far from your current spot. Everywhere in the stage will become the blood explosion except where you were standing. Right after the explosion, you can cut the 4th and finally defeat the boss.

In short, just do the opposite of what this boss tells you.

And that's not the end to the whole thing.
Right after the boss fight you will need to face Yui, make sure you are facing her all the time and have your torchlight shining right on her. If you fail this part, it's the boss fight all over again. The correct answer to keep your torch light on her is "Yes", "No", "Yes"

Try looking in the ground to dodge the falling crows (the shadow), you got 0.5s to react if you happen to be there when it spawn

I die 10 time there, only 3 dead from the falling crows

Don't feel like playing this game ever again (and I loved this game till this point)... I tried to do that but sometimes I just don't see the shadow at all. Thank you.

I also died 20+ times before I finally managed to dodge everything (mostly by luck, to be honest) and beat the boss. I agree that it can be frustrating, since, if I recall correctly, the game doesn't respawn you right at the beginning of the fight and it takes you quite some time to return there... But I also liked the originality of the mechanics of the final battle, didn't feel like anything I had played before and I've been playing videogames for over 25 years now. In any case, I suggest you calm down about it and try again in a couple of days, eventually you'll manage it, even if it's by sheer luck.

...On the bright side, if you quit here and never beat the boss, then you won't see the ending of the game. And... that's a big plus. -___-

The ending was a bit of a downer. The boss wasn't that hard to me. I died less than ten times. The one that was really frustrating for me was the last encounter with Mr. Kotawari at the entrance to the shrine.
