----------------------------------------
Wow,

-Yuri is confirmed to have the second half of the diary.
-Yuri just raped Ringo.
-Momoka is Yuri's destined person?

There are seriously some heavy yuri-tones this episode.
I'll rewatch this episode once it's subbed.

Holy shit @

she really did rape her? Well not in the sense of anything more than touching around and all but was it really rape or just forced yuri?
At least Ringo's body is hot as follows,

really hot. Way better than the fan service of her before. Things are sure turning screwed up now. More later.

Yuri and Ringo both are hot but let's not forget Natsume too.

I'm asuming she did, because she drugged Ringo by putting something in her tea. After that she kept talking about Momoka and Ringo. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm thinking that Yuri wants Ringo because Ringo resembles Momoka or something like that?

Ridiculous as same thing with the sensei that happened that all though it was going to be rape while at most it was attempted and nothing really happened.

I think this is attempted or just a total humiliation sexually of Ringo due various factors upon some not being totally revealed yet.

Could be also some form of skinship of Yuri due to the resembles thing you mention. Who knows exactly.

Crap, it really gets better and better, and I gave it 10/10 few episodes ago already... Well, that's because I'm not objective.
Yuri's indeed doing some sexy things. Also, another person who loves/loved Momoka, woo! What the hell was up with that girl. Not surprised Ringo has a complex about her.
Everyone was assuming it's Yuri who has the other half of diary for a while, but I still can't comprehend how did she get on bike to stole Ringo's diary when she was trying to get into her apartament just few moments ago (and why she did it - though that'll probably become clear the next episode? Perhaps she knew about the diary).
I wonder what her body's secret is. Well, it's either being a hermaphrodite or a transsexual, probably? We'll know the next episode.
Sanetoshi is such a troll. I mean, that talk with Kamba. And stilll, he's a fabulous bastard; loved the scene with scarves. Though I wonder why did Himari suddenly go "they surely won't like it" from "yay I'm done, I wonder if they'll like it" (also love the fact these scarves were for Hibari and Hikari, not her brothers, and that Sanetoshi took them).
About Shoma and Ringo, uhh. Shoma's so weird. I mean, they were like "You won't forgive us, will you?" "Forgive? I don't even think about it that way" "NO YOU WON'T FORGIVE US", it was like he's totally deaf for what she's saying. But in the end he just doesn't want to get too involved and get hurt because he thinks she won't stick with them anyway, because their parents, in a way, killed her sister, right?
Also, did Ringo just try to make Shoma interested in her with advices from the magazine...? Crap, that's cute.
Ah, and the moral of the episode: if you try to rape someone, you'll get raped too (if only it worked that way irl, derp).

I was afraid of that and of why would the ED changed red suddenly.

My real thoughts however transcend into Ringo sweating a lot not because she is fighting the poison but more of she is about the burst into flames! That would signal her acquiring of the power of pirokinesis and of what the OP portrays her as a flame suddenly. She would be a sudden human torch. So to speak.

BTW It was attempted rape for what Ringo did because she never finished doing what she was to do to the sensei.

oh god dont tell me Yuri is a guy. After all we never see her boobs, so they can be fake. But she says she is a "special existence", so indeed she might be a hermaphrodite.
And she is raping Ringo now? wow. And she has the diary, so she probably wants to follow project M...omg, if she is a "he", then he will get Ringo pregnant, LOOOOL.
As for Shouma, i totally understand him. The guy has been suffering a lot. His parents were murderers, his sister is always dying, he is heading to a mental breakdown, cant blame him.
He made Ringo cry thats true, but his words were not evil, he just doesnt want to be near her because he believe he will bring her "misfortune". Shouma is that kind of guy. But he definitely has feelings for Ringo.
And also, did u all forget what Ringo used to do to him?! Fuck, the guy went through hell with that girl, so he totally cannot be flamed.
Just because Ringo now is "good" we cannot forget she used be really crazy and didnt consider anyone´s feelings. Im glad she changed, yet, who changed her? Shouma. Heaven bless him~~
i hope Ringo doesnt get raped by Yuri XD

EDIT: and also for what i understood in the raw, Yuri´s friend who played the man in their play, was in fact a woman, and i never realized that! Also, she said to Yuri something like "the secret of your body" when Yuri headed to the car.

OMG. Ikuhara keeps trolling us hard: all the commotion caused in the Japanese society with those gas attack references on one hand and all those sexual fantasies we've seen already - incest, yuri, bdsm and yaoi vibes - and it's only the middle of the series! I'm all curious what awaits us further! And seriously this episode just screamed sex: Yuri and that other actor, Sanetoshi and Himari, Kamba and Masako, Yuri and Ringo!

I'm definitely in the same boat as you are. I could never comprehend that - how did Yuri manage to get into the appartments so quickly, change clothes, get outside and ride a bike.. is she capable of teleportation or something? I hope we'll get it explained some day...
And I don't think I blame Shouma here, just like I never blamed Ringo for her doings. He's just too much stressed - hit by a car, almost raped in the hospital, had his dear sister die twice in front of his eyes, and had his extremely hurting past revealed to someone he should never have. Of course he's "deaf" at the moment. Unlike Ringo, there's no Tabuki who could've said to him "Don't worry, it's fate, so it's happened for a reason". There's nobody who could simply hug him, share with him some warmth, and support mentally. Nobody, who could've turned his negative beliefs about fate into positive ones. Ringo, I suppose, is yet to become somebody like this. Unless.... unless some magic really happens next episode and Ringo turns into Momoka like Yuri really wants.


Looks like Penguins are straight on the way to my Top-5 if not Top-3.. if not the very tip...

I couldn't take it anymore, so I watched the raw. I'm not fluent in Japanese, but I was able to get the gist of it. I just love how this show always manage to prove our speculations wrong.

I wonder what's Yuri's secret that Tsubasa threatened her with? Her being a hermaphrodite or a transexual was my first guess, but I wonder if we'll get trolled again and it turns out to be something else. So, Yuri went to school with Tabuki and Momoka, I wonder if her attraction to Ringo might be indicating that Ringo is Momoka's reincarnation; she was born right after Momoka died, and Yuri mentioned her scent was the same as Momoka's.

The scarfs that Himari knitted turned out to be for Hibari and Hikari, I wonder for whom the violet scarf that she didn't throw away was. Masako seems to think that Kanba is in love with Asami or some other girl and offers to help him with money, but Kanba turns her down and states that his family is the most important to him. I wonder how she'll react when she discovers that it's Himari he's in love with. If Mario turns out to be Himari's soulmate then it will be one hell of a love square.

I didn't get Shouma in the preview, but I think the statues might be hinting the next episode will center around Masako and Mario.

Wasn't the violet scarf knitted by the No.3? I interpreted it as a mixture of blue and pink scarves Himari knitted herself...

For those who dont understand and cant wait, here's the summary. The "actor" in the same play as Yuri is actually a girl, which means yuri is secretly a lesbian. But she leaves the hotel saying," you actually think that technique is good enough to satisfy a woman?" Drives while lamenting, "this world is ruled by the unfair rule that two women cannot be together, the only person who said she was beautiful was "that person" and she wanted to meet that person immediately.
Shouma leaves Ringo crying because he says,"I would kneel here and prostrate before you, but that wouldnt even be good enough...there is no way you can forgive us. Our parents who destroyed your lives..."
Doctor tells Kanba, that this money is not enough, so Kanba replies, by the end of the day, Ill do something about it. As he's on the train, he asks the men in black, "whens the next job". Natsume then comes in and kills everyone she threatens Kanba, "You're standing on the edge of an iceberg, if you step any further, you're only going to fall into the ocean..." Then she confronts him about his forbidden love, but he denies it, saying he's only caring for his precious little sister.
Yuri spends about 10min talking about Momoka, foreshadowing her intentions. "I can sympathize with your painful feelings right now, Ringo. During those times, the best thing to do is for us women to get together and Fabulous Max." She drugs Ringo, and wants initiates her Fabulous Max plans, cause she resembles Momoka. The episode ends with her lying on top of a semi-conscious Ringo, about to kiss her, while holding a red rope in her hand, most likely bondage.
But nothing has been done yet, and yes, due to her despair of losing Momoka and not having anyone to confide in, particularly in her industry...she is using Ringo as a substitute. Everything else can surmised from watching the pictures

Wow Mawaru Penguindrum just gets better and better regardless of Yuri being obsessed with Momoka and then channeling her desires onto Momoka. Yay I predicted right that Yuri had the other half of the diary but I didn't expect her to be the person who was on the motorcycle instead of the woman who picked up the other half at the hospital because I just assumed that Masako would be the person on the motorcycle because I didn't think she could be at two places at once at the hospital.

I'm really curious about what is special about Yuri's body. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to, as the previous commentators have suggested, make her a hermaphrodite. This anime is so trippy which is exactly why I love it so much :].

Can't wait to see how the plot turns out.

Yuri is something else. I had no idea she would be a lesbian, but I def called it that she was on the motorcycle & she had the other 1/2 of the book.

Tbh, a lot of this makes sense and I cannot wait to put more puzzle pieces into this insane picture. What a show.

This episode is bizarre to the max!

Shou treatment of Ringo this episode was irrational, he cannot let go of the past and he blame himself for her lost, but at the same time, he was able to it sound like she was at fault too.

Himari is alive again, maybe she didn't realize she been dead a few times... there's still a mystery surrounding her friends, is she jealous of them or did some sort of situation happened, before Himari left school?

Kanba deluding himself, thinking what he is involve with is right and using his family as justification to do so. Still personally don't like this guy.

Natsume, you're a crazy stalker, who's also trying to save her little brother, but I don't care much for you, as a character. Move on already, we already have Ringo calling debs on this area.

Now, finally to Yuri, I believe she was regarding her sexuality as being dirty and not excepted
- so she does not have a penis (hopefully not)
- she was in love with Momoka (mentally not stable, at a young age and still 16 yrs later)

Shou fell down a few pegs in this episode for me, now, I am rooting for Yuri x Ringo xD jk jk

I started suspecting some funny business when Yuri invited Ringo on that "fabulous max girl's night out", since we all now what 'fabulous max' essentially means...Though I'm definitely dreading what's gonna happen next to poor Ringo, with that rope and the whole "I'll give you a body that can't live without me" business.

Whoa, well there goes my Yuri = Momoka theory. And yeah, I assumed that Yuri was either transexual or a hermaphrodite too, but you really never know with this show.
Started suspecting something when Ringo asked Yuri about Momoka, and my fears were proven true D: I can't really think of anyone who could save Ringo right now...

I'm kinda mad at Shouma for being such a jerk to Ringo, but it really isn't his fault. He's going through a lot of stuff right now and hopefully he'll apologise at soon as possible.

Now I'm scared of watching the next episode, seeing as how penguindrum just keeps screwing with everyone's minds. Kudos to you, Ikuhara.
Himari's got a dark side :)
Kanba's still the boss dude.
Shouma's gone angsty. (He's reading up on how to be a bishie?) I hope he and Ringo sort out their problems XD
Yuri likes... yuri... Or maybe, she's a dude!!! (HAHA) Does Tabuki know? Maybe they haven't reached that stage yet.
Penguin lady made of penguins didn't appear. (No Survival Strategy anymore?)
Ringo... Now she knows how it feels to be drugged and raped... But... With a possible hemaphrodite/transvestite/drag queen? Poor Ringo.

The strange, yet engaging and incredibly well thought out plot, all of the amazing characters (I'm loving the pink haired dude -- talk about FABULOUS)... I'm really getting into it even more now.
