Retarded moment 2: How in the hell did Yuno got her parents to crawl into that cage?


I think she gave them sleeping pills. I felt the show was really getting inconsistent, and that it's becoming more random and not on par with the manga. I didn't like the flashback either, it's getting so serious but its always so gay, they could of spend more time on emphasizing Yuki's present with his dad and shit...

Late on replying but damn, this episode was quite something. One moment, it's silly and funny with Yuno running after Yuki in a pink bunny suit. The next moment, you see Yuki's dad getting stabbed and dying from the wound. Best of both worlds.

A very mixed bag in this one!

I hate the scenes where Yuno is psychotically controlling Yukki, even from afar ... but at least we finally know what broke her tiny little mind. Being literally locked in a cage and starved by her parents ... Strict Asian Parents indeed. Plus it was kinda LOLtastic seeing her in an angry bunny costume. Especially the end when Murmur turned the tables on her!

Yukki did go badass on the 11ths, but yeah, his character switcharound was pretty unrealistic. "I know you killed Mom, you bastard! ... Oh damn, you're crying. My bad, let's have a coffee before the cops come." Even though Yukki does seem quite willing to forgive his enemies, at least until this point, that was pretty extreme.

It also just served to show that the 'causality continuum' HATES Yukki. The second he manages to come to terms with his father (who may or may not have stabbed his mom ... he never did actually own up to it, nor did we see it happen), he's murdered in front of him. Then Yukki goes all Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass on the lot of 'em.

We also finally find out what Yuno's 'plan' is once it's just the two of them ... she seems to have no qualms whatsoever with sacrificing herself for Yukki's sake, though whether she'll follow through on those words is another story ... and there's only a few diary holders left (besides 11th's network), and Deus isn't lasting much longer. His eyeball looks like it's about to fall out ... that's not a good sign. In fact, since there doesn't seem to be anything at all holding it there, it should've fallen out already ...

Can't wait for the climax! I've glimpsed a spoiler here and there, but have no idea what's gonna happen next!

EDIT: Also, I see a lot of people bitching about Yukki's weakness in the series, ignoring he's a nonviolent-but-antisocial teenager who isn't *used* to fighting for his life from psychotics foretelling the future. Put any of you in the same situation (especially as a mild-mannered Japanese teenager) and I'm sure you won't immediately slap on some awesome shades, a red cape and start screaming "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?", but be running in mortal terror for your life.

Such characters don't do much for people who prefer protagonists along the lines of Guts from Berserk, who's as insanely tough as he is BECAUSE of his extreme life. But not everybody can be a hot-blooded Badass Out of Hell who's lived their entire life devoted to beating people up for whatever cause (becoming the strongest, usually). The fact that Yukki is the LEAST badass of all the Diary owners, makes it all the more remarkable that he keeps surviving again and again. Largely due to either his wits, luck (if written badly) or Yuno, who also deconstructs just how much trauma and madness you'd have to go through to be an anime-level Badass.

Agree. The police, and the show and general now, is really starting to piss me off. It's been pulling shit like this for a while which I haven't really been happy about but this is just too much. It's not like with the cult crap where stuff might have been made complicated (for the police) with all the chaos, they actually have bodies. The result? A casual questioning in a damn coffee shop. Not only they but she's 14 and there just let her run around and do whatever she wants. If she was in the supervision of someone that might be one thing, not that it'd make it that much better, but she isn't. Yukiteru is also alone for that matter and they just let him run around too. Damn.

Also with you on Yukiteru and his dad but hell Yukiteru has always been really wishy-washy (he does complete turn a rounds for no solid reason a lot) so I can't really say I'm that surprised. Pretty much expected it. As for his father, guess he got his? The no regrets thing got me, too. He doesn't regret killing her because he kneeled down in front of a picture? Please. This is the same guy that choose himself over his own son (jumping from the tower), though, so I can't say I'm surprised there either.


Okay, I'm getting tired of these complaints, so let me address them. Keep in mind, I'm looking at the manga version of this episode for this, so if it didn't translate well into the anime, that's the anime's problem.

The reason the police aren't keeping Yuno under watch is because quite frankly, they have no real reason to. Yeah, they found the corpses, but Yuno practically lied her way out of taking the blame for that by saying how she didn't know how they got there (remember the fact that she seems to alter her memories at will to avoid blame?). That police guy threatened that when they identified the corpses (especially the third body), she wouldn't be able to lie out of it. I don't think that scene was put in the anime, so just chalk it up as Asread skipping that detail. Granted, Yuno's lying her way out is stupid in its own right, but until the third body is identified, she's roaming free.

And if you're wondering why the police aren't supervising her, this story takes place in fucking Japan. The Japanese legal system is a little different in that country. You can't exactly have Japanese police tail a kid, even when they're suspected of criminal charges. That's a job for people like the FBI. (note, I could be wrong on this, but I do know that the Japanese law system is a little less intrusive than the ones in America).

As for the problem people have with Yuki's dad not having regrets...really? Did it not occur to anybody that he meant he had no regrets with turning himself in? Because that's not exactly a hard thing to interpret. He stabbed his ex-wife, he regretted it, he prayed, he planned to turn himself in so he could start over with Yuki again...what exactly is there to get? As I said, maybe the pacing and Yuki's dad's VA wasn't exactly helping, but it's not that hard to understand.

And that's pretty much the justifications for those two big complaints about this episode. Again, I was using the manga for this, so it probably didn't carry over well. And the justifications probably aren't that good in the first place. But that's why in a nutshell.

You really expect me to believe that the Japanese legal system is really that incompetent? Sorry but no. Since the start of things Yuno has been in the middle of everything. How many students at school died because of her? How many cult members did she kill? Etc, etc. Then of course we get to the best thing and something that impossible to ignore by anyone, how much chaos did she cause in the police station? Then there's the bodies in her house and her dead parents. There's no way I'm going to believe the police would just ignore her, a minor with no supervision what so ever, leaving her to her own devices. As I said, maybe I could buy it a little if she was in the custody of an adult but she doesn't even have that going for her.

As for her talking her way out of things, give me a break. If it was so easy to talk your way out of murder there would be no one in prison. You might be able to deflect a little, especially with help, but to be involved in things time after time without consequence is ridiculous. Yukiteru's position at this point isn't that much better. He might not have racked up the body count Yuno has but he's been involved in just as many things, he has no parents now, and he even shot a cop. He has also started leaving bodies, too.

Okay you got me, as even Ninth is under police surveillance (in the fact that she's working for them at the moment). It also brings up the question as to where the hell is Yuno staying? I doubt she's staying at home at the moment, considering the activity going on there.

The animation's artwork 's just getting worse and worse , that's all I can say.

And for Yukiteru, is he a complete fool !?
He knew for sure that his dad killed his mom, yet he decided to forgive it damn so easily, and even implied that he wanted to stay together with his mother's murderer again once the guy( I mean, his dad ) served his sentence in jail.

NO WAY
The only peaceful solution I can think of is to bear his dad no grudge, but cut down the father-son relationship for once and for all, and let the karma take its role.

My god, this show has some of the worst inconsistencies. And people whine about Guilty Crown being terrible.

So Yukiteru knows that his dad killed mommy dearest and it's totally cool cause y'know, his dad wanted to see the stars one last time and apologized for it. Hell, he even says he has no regrets. I don't fucking know... maybe killing your ex-wife is a regret? No? Oh, okay. And lol at Yukiteru FINALLY doing something on his own. Holy fuck, what a long ass wait that was. Too bad it took him this long to actually start growing a set, he's still a terrible crybaby. If anything, his character evolution is even worse than Shu's.

And really, are the police really this fucking incompetent? Nishijima finds bodies at Yuno's house and he fucking doesn't even arrest her? Instead he's just 'LOL LET'S GO GET SOME COFFEE YUNO WHILE I INQUIRE ABOUT YOUR DEAD PARENTS AND THIS MYSTERY BODY THAT YOU PROCURED'. How much influence does this moron even have to keep so many cops from spilling the beans all over this girl?


This is exactly how i felt about the previous episodes of this show. Full of stupid shit like that, but i finally turned off my bullshit detector and i just roll with whatever comes my way. That's probably why i actually liked this episode.


Simply put, Yukki can't dissapoint any more.

I think that Yuno would be a much cooler goddess, she knows what she wants and how to get it.

For you people complaining about Yukki forgiving his dad so suddenly, I'm pretty sure Yukki never had any solid evidence that his dad did it. His diary said the cops want to arrest his father on suspicion of murder. It is SUSPICION. Yukki himself might not entirely believe it so he is able to forgive his father while thinking it was a mistake.

That said, I can't read the moon runes on Yukki's phone at the time so dunno if the subs translated that correctly.

I don't remember what exactly happened in the manga at this moment. I don't think Yukki knew his dad really was the murderer. He was just trying to call his dad out for it and see if it was true or not.

I liked this episode, though there were some irritations:

+Bunny Suit Yuno
+Yuno Backstory
+ Dead Yuki's dad
+Badass Yuki

-Yuki patches up his dad
-Yuki FORGIVES HIS ASS SO QUICKLY AFTER HE NOT ONLY TRIED TO KILL HIM, BUT HIS MOTHER (And succeeded with his mom)
-Nishijima doesn't arrest Yuno. What.

Yeah....well anyway, informative episode nonetheless...

That was completely idiotic in Yukki's part if it wasn't clear enough that his dad killed his mom. Add the fact that he knew his dad was trying to kill him. Bullshit scriptwriting = bullshit. I don't see any logical explanation that could explain this. You could if you dumb it down to Mirai Nikki's retardedness.

Flawfinder said:

Yeah, I never said that this anime wasn't stupid, but it's definitely NOT inconsistent (or not THAT inconsistent). That was the complaint a bunch of people had. And the reason I tolerate the stupidity is because at least the show knows it's being stupid and just runs with it, ala Code Geass. Also, the show has enough interesting things in it to distract you from the stupidity, as a good pulp story does. For example, not many people bother remembering that Ninth should be in jail because she's so awesome. Plus, the bunny thing and the fact that Yuki actually had the guts to confess to a girl (who looked like his mom) were entertaining enough, even though I agree that the stuff with Yuki and his dad worked better in the manga.

On the whole, Guilty Crown probably doesn't go as stupid as this anime. But it is definitely more inconsistent, and on top of that, I can't remember anything really good in it to distract me from its stupidity. But this isn't the GC thread, so all I'll say is it depends on what people prefer: stupidity or inconsistency. I prefer stupidity, especially when it doesn't actually slow down the story, as honestly, the show seems to be good at incorporating the stupidity into the story's pace pretty well.

I'd have to go with Guilty Crown's inconsistency against this one since the only thing that's consistent with Mirai Nikki is its stupidity.

The logic is two fold. One, he's never been shown to be very bright and hardly ever actually thinks things through. Two, he has the convictions of an empty plastic bag. Even the smallest breeze will send him flying the other way. Him completely changing his position on things and just being wishy-washy in general has been a norm through the series.

I don't think it makes him inconsistent because I've never seen him actually state strong views on much of anything in the first place. Now you can still argue that that mades a bad character or even a badly written one but that's another story. I do think he has been far too weak willed, though.

This anime is starting to become unbelievable. Literally, I mean how do you forgive your Dad for killing your Mom in less than 5 minutes. I don't get it. Did the writer just get lazy as hell and say; ''well he can grieve for a few minutes, but, he'll bounce right back''. What the hell. The only thing I can really say I enjoyed about this episode was the backstory to Yuno's past. Even though it was pretty predictable. And I'm almost sure this episode was a minute shorter than usual. It felt like it went by way too fast. Looking forward to the next!


I was way too pissed at that has well >_> . But YES they kill him, he's no father to me :p. Finally Yukki fought like he was suppose to many episodes ago. And he still wants to bring his dad back after all of that....seriously ? Yuno backstory was awesome, we can't actually blame her for being yandere :) but hell that why I love her.

Also I don't like their "romance" or w/e

2. And that inconsistency in that dad's personality. He left his kid to die and stabbed his wife without any second thought and now after a day or two, he just wanted to be with his son again, and felt really sorry for his actions.

And still people think this anime is awesome...... >.<

True, but still the general story if fun to watch and there aren't a lot of other animes (not that I know of) that have a lot of yandere stuff like this or mindfuck (I know a few, but I would to have more stuff like this).

Scumbag dad died.

yeah Yuki shouldn't have forgiven his dad. hard to tell if the Dad was actually sorry or just still being a scumbag. it's Yuki's character though, he's extremely gullible, and very trusting. not the smartest kid but

yeah in just a short time, this kid has had everything changed. both his parents murdered. he has an insane stalker girl following him constantly and he's killed people. yeah, his sanity has got to be shot.

oh and evil Yuno being evil. sure her parents were pretty bad, but she's a sick little bitch. murdering her parents and many others.

if the police know, then yeah Yuno should have been imprisoned a long time ago for all her crimes.

It's not completely implausible, just unreasonable.

No matter how much of a scum your dad is, even if he nailed your mother, he's still a dad, yo. Besides, Yukiteru was extremely spoiled. He didn't know anything about why his parents divorced, he even let his dad home although he was already expected of murder. AT that point, you know he will easily forgive if his dad shows apparent honesty in his actions.

You really can't argue about logic. People seem to forget humans rarely act on rationality solely. Given Yukiteru's previous actions and beliefs, this is pretty consistent with his action uptil now, if only the stakes were raised (his dad killed his mom? That's effed up, BUT considering how Yukiteru STILL hang out with Yuno even though there was DEAD PEOPLE in her house, that's pretty much the samething.)

Now the one thing I need to mention is the inconsistency with 9th. Not locking her up even though she blew up an entire school, not locking her up even though she set a bomb DIRECTLY STATED by her when the hospital floor exploded, her wtf, honor?-perspective on things even though she did all those actions earlier in the show. The only way to explain her bipolar/contradictory actions is again, human irrationality. But that's usually the last safehouse when you know scriptwriting has failed on a number of levels for viewers to criticize the glaring lack of consistency.

The unreasonable part comes from the lack of explanation. I think this is due to time restraint, the anime wants to end around episode 24-26, probably. Why can't anime be like death note? End on an odd 37? His dad could easily add a few dialogues, maybe some brief backstory, to make it seem consistent. "I didn't mean to kill her..." Make Yukiteru's actions more plausible, this is all possible.

As for incompetence in the police, this is normally given in any shows that focus on the criminals rather than the police. It's a lame plot device, but it's nothing to condemn the show over. It is a flaw though. Because usually in police dramas, the criminals are awesome but the police are SUPER AWESOME and fully justified and perfectly rational detectives relying on their charisma and deduction.

Walls of texts aside, it seems things are going to be more intense. Yukiteru finally have a goal to strive towards. I'm glad I didn't read the manga before I watched this, however I think I will because some intricacies are glanced over due to lack of time constraint.

I'm already thinking of the wish he will make if he wins. Probably since 4th died (he was the first diary owner who wasn't a complete psycho). I wonder if the story will surprise me.

So...
Yuno somehow manages to accidentally starve her parents to death in a cage when trying to bring the family closer?
Nobody found the corpses for over a year, were Yuno's parents hermits or something?
Yuno can walk around freely after she has been found out to be hiding corpses of her parents?
Yuki forgives his dad just like that after he killed her mom?
Even with his diary predictions Yuki is able to fight when outnumbered and against physically superior opponents who appear to be security professionals?
Yuki goes ends justify the means mentality but doesn't understand Yuno is his selfless ally he can just use after all this time?

At least we got a reason why Yuno only cares about Yuki and some kind of half-explanation for why she is some sort of superhuman.

No major deviations or extra non-source content like last time. While the whole "forgetting about his mom's death and forgiving his father after 5 mins" thing was unreasonable, for the most part, this was also in the source, so if anything, it wasn't due to some adaptation hiccup in the anime. I liked the comedy bits, though.

what WAS this episode?!!?

I didn't really understand Yukki's "Dad"... he stabs the mom, abandons his son to die on the tower, but then he wants to go watch the stars?! Am I supposed to care that he's dead?

The only good part about this episode was Yuno in a bunny suit, and Yukki growing a pair at the end.

Since the start of things Yuno has been in the middle of everything. How many students at school died because of her? How many cult members did she kill? Etc, etc.
But was there ever any record of this happening? We were told that Kurusu falsified the evidence concerning 5th so it is VERY likely he did so concerning the other cases as well.

Tanrim said:
Then of course we get to the best thing and something that impossible to ignore by anyone, how much chaos did she cause in the police station?
You should ask yourself, how is it that either of the kids were not put under surveillance? Even if they were forced to commit crimes to escape being killed, they still committed those crimes. But the answer is actually rather simple if you think about it.

BAD PRESS.

It was said that the media was discussing what Kurusu had done so the police were obviously getting a whole lot of flack. Kurusu was said to have left enough evidence to free the two kids of charges if he was killed so pursuing them for this would not be good for their department.

Tanrim said:
Then there's the bodies in her house and her dead parents.
Who says that the police even knew of the dead bodies at her house? Didn't you notice that a kid (Akise) seemed to be running the whole show and making Nishijima dance for him? How would he have been able to do that if the whole police station had been involved? Only Nishijima and Akise knew about the diaries so it would be in their best interest to keep things under wraps. The warrant that went out for Yuno was one for "questioning" not her arrest. I.E this means the police did not know about the corpses. Only Akise and Nishijima did...

So there goes your whole complaining right down the toilet. Awww what a pity.

Wasabi said:
Are the police really this fucking incompetent? Nishijima finds bodies at Yuno's house and he fucking doesn't even arrest her? Instead he's just 'LOL LET'S GO GET SOME COFFEE YUNO WHILE I INQUIRE ABOUT YOUR DEAD PARENTS AND THIS MYSTERY BODY THAT YOU PROCURED'. How much influence does this moron even have to keep so many cops from spilling the beans all over this girl?
He doesn't arrest her because he is trying to honor Kurusu's memory/last wish. How he is able to keep the other cops away from her? Who knows? maybe he just got a sample from each corpses and asked the forensic to run some tests?
Silent_Scream said:
Retarded moment 2: How in the hell did Yuno got her parents to crawl into that cage?
...she drugged them and shoved them into the cage when they were comatose? Does the manga/anime really have to show us every obvious thing? Can't you think for yourself even for a little bit?

Misuryu said:
This really kept me thinking.. I think I've got this figured out. I haven't read the manga.
That probably would have worked...
^don't read the spoilers unless you have read/seen the whole manga/anime

Queen_Stars said:
What really could have improved this ep a great deal (and the series in general) would have been Yuki not simply making an empty threat and actually killing Yuno - she is his competition afterall.
So you want Yukki to act like a moron?

1. Yuno will protect him and she IS skilled.
2. Why would he kill his ally and make himself weaker?
3. His diary has a major flaw -- Yuno's diary removes that flaw.
4. She loves him and would let him kill her in the end anyway.
5. He loves her. With his parents left she is the only one he has left, in fact he has probably come to love her more than he did his parents.

Inconsistencies everywhere!!

Aside as what have been mentioned, why would Yuki think that something used to kill his mother was in the pawnshop?

Or does he even know what a pawnshop is? =,=

The transition between the flashback and real storyline was absolutely awful and most of the episode was horrendous in terms of direction


This. Liked the flashback part though.

It may have a lot of flaws, but...

When Yuno put some water in her mouth and transferred it to Yuki... even while he was pointing a knife at her neck... and she fed him the water mouth to mouth.

"I'll be ready to die for you anytime. Because that's my future."


It's little moments like these that make the anime so worth watching for me.

Dropped!

I'm losing too much brain cells watching this.

Overall from episodes 1-18, this show deserves a 2/10. A solid 2/10. Congrats Mirai Nikki for being the worse anime of 2012. Doubt any anime that comes out this year will even remotely get close to Mirai Nikki's stupidity. And here I thought that Kirino from Oreimo was the worse female lead of all time. Yuno takes the cake on this one. She seriously takes the cake.

I read the last chapter of the manga to see what happens and I laughed so hard at the bullshit of a ending. Hilarious!

Looks like Yuki is going to be awesome from now on (or so it seems) anyways how will he live from now on?? he lost both his parents (though I think the same for Yuno...how the hell is she able to survive without her parents...she's 14 ffs!)

love how yuki FINALLY grew some balls this episode
it was pretty satisfying watching him do his OWN killing for once

but yuno's backstory was pretty twisted, her parents were complete excuses for human beings
and as much as i hated yuki's dad, i couldn't help but feel somewhat bad for him towards the end. there was so much work put into his speech and the OST playing making him more of a sympathetic character at the end

Loved the background story on Yuno. No wonder she is so fked up, it all makes sense! Kind of obvious though. The ending was also pretty amazing. ^-^

Me too, dropped.
Yukki is just a pussy, crying and screaming, trusting the wrong ones.
The overall story is too illogical, not making sense, has a lot of inconsistencies and flaws.

What I didn't like about this episode was the fact that not only that his father is a loser, but he acts like one! come on, dude, he killed his son's mother, his ex wife and then he just comes in and wants to watch the stars and all the shit and oh god I'm so sorry I'll be prisoned for a while and then everything is going to be okay and we'll watch the stars together and... bullshit. This part was awesomely stupid.

What I liked was the fact his father died. Serves him right. That saved the episode.

Why did I rate it with 5 out of 5 stars? well... because he killed those guys, because he cried in the end - that was so like Yukki, after all... because of Yuno's past, also.
I didn't expect to find out about her past so soon... anyhow, that was gorgeous! I mean, sad, yeah... but I loved it. Yuno's past is so creepy and ...sad, all like herself, and crazy. her parents were fucked up, real and for real. I liked that. No wonder she's like that... I love that. And the episode was pretty funny because of Yuno dressed like a bunny... hehe, wasn't she cute... in an insane way, though. Just like Yuno.

Yukki...becoming a God? and do what? play with dolls? come on, he's nothing without Yuno. Yuno should be God, but then the world's fucked. Hmm! I can't wait to see what happens next. I know I should stop watchin' cuz it's late and all and I should really not go and watch episode 19, but instead go to sleep... hmm, going to watch the 19th episode, then MAYBE I'll go get some sleep.

I find myself loving the new opening. The ending is brilliant.

Seriously, the characters and the plot become more idiotic the closer we get to the end of this anime. A school is bombed to pieces and no one cares, your son is involved in several murder cases and you simply ignore it. Your father kills your mom? No problem dad! After all we can see the stars together.

Oh, and the police...
You know, after about 10 episodes I stopped to care for this because...well, it's hillarious.


I totally agree with this.
The fact that Yuno is fully capable of being a qualified assassin is also worth mentioning.

"Yes, you have apologized and - hey - you even brought me a telescope!! I guess everything's fine now, Dad! I'm sure you've atoned for killing Mum in cold blood. What was that? Yes, of course! In 15 or 20 years, when you might get out of prison again, I'll be an adult, but I sure as hell would like to live with the murderer of my mum (if I'm still alive or at least human at that point)!"

Uhm. Seriously?
