| Madhouse has been very kind to us this week. First that HxH episode, and now this. Both brilliantly executed beyond words. I love you Madhouse. |
☕ Truth be told, I'm quite proud of my house blend. To attain my flavor and fragrance, I use five different types of coffee beans. ☕ |
| I am utterly confused at that ending. What the hell happened to Sora? Dam that ED part without Sora was genius! This 7 day wait is going to be gruesome ._. |
| So did Sora just disappear from existence to challenge the warbeasts. Great episode!!! |
 |
| The 8th episodes are pretty strong this season. First WIXOSS, now this. |
| I've been fairly critical of this series so far and couldn't understand all the fanboy hype this show has gotten the past couple of months but finally Madhouse delivered an episode that could launch me onto the hype train. We're finally diving into the world of the other races and seeing their abilities as well as their weaknesses which is something I've been waiting to see since the first episode. Love the cliffhanger at the end of this episode and it's nice to see one of the siblings actually have conflict and a challenge in front of them rather than "oh they're perfect and win at everything cause they're awesome." Very interested in seeing how Shiro will handle herself without Sora by her side. Also, thank you for the minimal fanservice this episode!!!!! It was nice being able to focus on the development of the show rather than have boob physics and pantie shots on the screen every few minutes :O |
| This is a speculation, I haven't read the LN or anything, but I (don't want to) believe that two things could had happen. |
| I am confused on so many counts. What was with them changing their bets? And what happened at the end? |

| New character~! Izuna~! x3 So, what an episode!!! D: Warbeasts~! xD Pretty dumb, since they lied about the mind reading stuff....and the way Sora and Shiro figured that out was epic! xD But....what...happened to Sora?! D: NO! D: Sora....is gone?! D: WHAT! THAT ENDING! Damn it! I really want to see that next episode! DX |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| fucking goosebumps.. "fake end" the ED is really fake lol.. poor Shiro all alone in that ED.. from light to BAness to mindblow.. great EP.. |

No, seriously... there might be spoilers ahead, so unless you read the novels, or are fine being somewhat spoiled, do not open the spoiler tags. Paint me surprised, |
| Steph's redundancy is getting annoying but she is cute :D Clever clever!!! ED |

| Freaking amazing episode! Wow! The glitchy effect at the end was awesome! |
| Excellent excellent excellent. Love the mind games Sora and Shiro play. It's so much more refreshing to watch smart main characters, instead of idiotic strong ones. What they did with the ED was just great. The ending with Sora gone left me speechless. Kudos to Madhouse! Also Yu-Gi-Oh! reference. Man, I love this show. |
| The episode began entertaining, became serious and ended mysterious Sora was again the protagonist alone, but in the end it just vanished and been forgotten, it seems that this time will be that Shiro will have the chance to be a protagonist but this is only the beginning of the mystery, only in the next episode to know what happened, but already I found this episode better than the previous in question of the plot |
  |
| I have no idea what's going on, but _____ never losses, and this can't be happening! Props for breaching the 4th wall, really loved it. |
| Well now... I wasn't expecting THAT to happen. Tune in next week for the fate of Imanity (and Steph's panties) |
| Oh this anime will never seem to disappoint me. <3 |

| Words can't even describe how impressed I am with this show now. Its been sometime since I have felt this excited about a series and just could not wait to see what next week has in store. That ED was really well done, reminded me of FMA episode 7 ending tribute to Nina Tucker where Edward had an expression where he was fighting not to shed tears instead of looking at AL with comfort. For those that are interested, watch the ending in the following link number 1 and compare it to the normal version in number 2. Notice in the changes in animation and the final 5 seconds of the ED. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exAWJkGJTwY 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQcCY2OE4aI Though I am not sure what happened to Sora, I assume that he was approached by the Elven race as he mentioned that he expected a race with more backbone than the Werebeast that have delayed setting the date for the game and was a key in beating the Werebeast. The anticipation... NEXT WEEK COME FASTER!!!!! |
| omfg dat end, dat cliff hanger.. seriously can't wait for next week ;3;.. my guess is that the warbeasts might have wiped everyone's memories of Sora and hid him somewhere away.. either way next ep going to be even more and more epic ahh s2 plssssssss |
 |
| Dayumn nice touch on the ED noticed the episode had a bit more near the end so i stopped during the sound glitching lol. I guess you could say i'm Curious to know where Sora went!...at first i thought he might have somehow went to the real world but he said he was waiting for someone wonder how hes gonna do this without Shrio |
 |
| I'm gonna assume he disappeared because of the "video game" thing. |
| I'll be reading all comments. *But if anyone can make this simpler... -----Why did Sora disappear? -------WHY????? and Steph doesn't know Sora.. does that mean Sora deliberately bet his own existence? why is Shiro the only one who can remember him? o.o I WANT THE NEXT EPISODE NOW |
| Yeah it was a good episode. I love the tactical aspects of this anime |
| Anime of the season my ass No plot whatsoever, just constant explanation how you outsmart you opponent and trick them to play game with you.. |
| "Burn the heretics" |
| Dat Hyouka and Yu-Gi-Oh reference. Welp, as expected to Miyuki Sawashiro voicing Izana. And I thought that there's problem in the audio when the ED starts playing but it turns out that Sora... disappeared? |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| The Werebeast clans seemed to have taken the mantle of developing traditional technology from humans. I guess the constant warfare before unification helped spur a lot of tech advancement. But Yeah, that ending truly wrenches ones heart. Also just noticed there's a whole bunch of shots focusing on certain things in the scene prior to the ending theme. Omega Good Job. |

To Steph and Jibiriru the "goal" of the games was for the various races to fight each other and defeat the other races. Even the Old Deus had the same mindset when they appeared at the start of episode 5. That isn't what Tet had in mind. Sora and Shiro get it, it was hinted at during the episode Tet visited them, and the reason why Shiro said "poor Tet" is that no one understood what Tet really wanted. Yea. The clue is on the 10 pledges/laws/oaths. Specifically the one that nobody seemed to follow. Yeah pointing out the obvious here, but it's because only pledges 1 down to 9 are mandatory and can't be changed. # 10 is quite...subjective for a world with races still bent on hating each other. |

| I hate you guys. -_- Now all that's left for me is to combine all of your speculations and spoilers to one. I haven't read the LN and pretty much sure the Anime is ahead of the Manga, so no use of reading it. But honestly; if anyone could give me a better insight or just a little tip... Please feel free to message.. xD ... But hey! I love the Hyouka reference, the ending was so good putting the mood together, and totally the best anime of the season- maybe year perhaps? |
| "watashi ki ni narimasu!" -Jibril(Chitanda Eru) xD lol but seriously though, that ending gave me goosebumps can't wait till next week dat Steph said "Who is that?" it sounded really loud and it's very horrifying.. this has turned into horror |

Please feel free to message.. xD Hints: Yep... I've repeated it a lot of times,... Day 19, is the game 'Go?', I've speculated that a higher rank interrupted the game or it is Tet.. xD (I just don't get to why why Day 19 is important.. xD This just proves my deductive skills ain't that good enough... But still thanks! I'll put myself into deeper thinking |
| Oh noo the cute pair is seperated </3 I hope they get back together soon :') |
| The warbeasts make people forget things, now everyone has forgotten someone. That seems like a very strong connection to me. Why is the better questions. |
