| I just want to say wow, Hanemura had the biggest balls in the room there. Congrats to him, and beating the shit outta Yoshino and Mahiro. Loved that character development he got. On the other hand, what a powerful episode. Our two hero's are rendered useless as of now, having to rely on the allies they made on their journey. Surely the next two episodes will be grand and I hopefully my body will be ready for it. These next two weeks are going to be painfully agonizing. |
 |
| T-2, I really gonna miss it. |

| Quite a lot of talks this episode - perhaps a lot of animation resource was spent in the last episode? perhaps the pace has to slow down a bit for the remaining material? Not too appreciate Hanemura bursting into rage -- he got angry at Mashiro and Yoshino for not getting angry themselves?? Boy did the two keep their cool after being beaten up like that. The first meeting of Aika with Mashiro and Yoshino is the highlight. Until I read posts in this thread I would not have guessed in manga the meeting took place separately with Mashiro and Yoshino. The adaptation seems to be smart and bold here. And correct me if I got it wrong: It seems Mahiro can read the letter Aika left for him but Yoshino had to wait until the Tree of Genesis is brought down? Now I wonder what is the plan hatched by Mahiro (to be supported by Yoshino) Where did he mean by saying he alone will shoulder the burden left by his sister... |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Megumu going off was the best moment he beat the shit out of Mahiro and Yoshino I loled how he acted scared after he did that. |
 |
| Great episode this time too, Hanemura snapped → take down Mahiro → Yoshino's organ even snapped. But those 2 really are calm, can they be called mature I wonder. Young Aika also looks cute Expecting to see Aika's message, probably will make the 2 cry, maybe |

| This show is constantly challenging viewers' attention and thinking, good job and well done. I like Aika's sentence and smile in the ending. She is the real schemer in this game and I believe she still has some secrets waiting to be revealed. And I also think there was some other reason for Hanemura to attack them and that this reason is well conected to Aika also (not to mention Yoshino previous comment that she was somehow acting like a man). |
| Wow, Hanemura surprised me. This ep has really made up for some of the more "meh" ones from earlier. |
| WHY HANEMURA!? Y U NO UNLEASH DAT EXODUS ON YOSHINO AND MAHIRO щ(ಥДಥщ) |
| Lol at Hanemura getting angry and Yoshino almost dying. Dat little Aika, Mahiro, Yoshino! <3 5/5 Aika ftw |
| that is what happens when you turn the wimp into an unstoppable war machine :v i knew that the revelation of Aika's death would have a larger toll on Hakaze than on Mahiro and Yoshino, HOW larger.... seems will be revealed next ep. |
 |
| Decent episode not much else to say. |
 |
| Awesome episode..Want to know what will happen in next episode |
 |
| Not really as good as the previous episodes, but not bad either. |
 |
| Interesting but pretty generic pre-fight set up episode. Looking forward to seeing what is inside the letters. |
 |
| Well this was a pretty nice buildup episode to the final battle. It was good to see how Yoshino and Mahiro are feeling after all of this. And whoaaa at how Hanemura snapped like that, though I actually didn't like or care for him to do that. This flashback of them meeting Aika for the first time was a great one to watch. And the preview's got me excited about some scenes in the next episode that isn't about the fight. |
 |
| Damn, Yoshino and Mahiro got beaten around good! Hanemura can do it if he really wants to. The first meeting with Aika was pretty nice. They got along pretty quickly and she found them 'amusing'. :P Nice to see Mahiro man up and take responsibility for his family's problems. I wonder what both him and Yoshino can actually do though. Looking forward to the final battle! |
 |
| Uggh Hanamura why oh why. lol he still can't see a foot past in front of him. That dinner with the 3 of them was by far some of the best Aika show time! Once again awesome music! |
| i still have that little dream that aika didnt die, she had been my fav character since the first eps,heck,since i watch the cover for zetsuen. T.T i probably gonna cry when they open the letter and that something on that pendrive,i know its a pendrive. Oh Aika, such an elegance character. She always have something nice and solid to say. |

Misail said: I really want to know what Aika wrought on those letters Next episode will de awesome Hmmm..I wonder. Maybe a way to return? |
| Hanemura #1 dick, he should mind his own business. Great buildup episode, seeing their past was nice. The preview got me exited for me, it looks like Hakaze is mad. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Hanemura was awesome this episode. He keeps on surprising. The final battle is here, so here we go. |

Hybridbloodszak said: Thank the lord Hanemura isn't the protagonist of this anime/manga His reaction after hearing the truth regarding Fuwa Aika juxtaposes nicely with Yoshino and Mahiro's. Both sides of the same coin, you have the two boys taking it rationally without their emotions getting to them and then Hanemura's is arguably the more "human" reaction telling them how wrong this whole situation is. As noted by Samon this week, Yoshino and Mahiro are far more mature for their age than they let on. It's something you don't see very often in shonen protagonists. I can appreciate where Hanemura is coming from though, his mindset is very much like a Jump character acting on feelings. And yet it is this "shounen-ish", "typical Jump character-ish" vibe that Hanemura gives off that annoys me to the point of distraction. Because why is it not normal to take the news calmly. Both Yoshino and Mahiro have had 1.5 years to mull over Aika's mysterious death and given their intelligence, it is not as if they had never considered this possibility. The only thing happening here is a confirmation of that possibility. Furthermore, since when did it become "normal" to go "ASDAQ$%(A@RAGE" whenever something bad happens? On the other hand, what is NOT normal is to hit your friends/mentors repeatedly to the point of inflicting fatal injuries just because you thought they were not reacting normally. If this is the kind of "values" and "norms" and the kind of message we are sending to young viewers, then there is really something wrong. However if it is the subtle intent of the director to use this scene to point out the absurdity and disconnect from reality that is typical of most formulaic shounen anime/manga then I must really applaud him. |
| There's two kinds of people you can't win an argument against: One - Too dumb to tell right from wrong. Two - Too stubborn to admit they are wrong. |
| Oh Hanemura... chill the fuck out. |

AnimeHAwk616 said: Haha, I just couldn't stop laughing when yoshino was like "I think he broke something fairly important" then just falls on the couch. And wow, hanemura is really strong now. I died. That part was way too funny! Daaamnnn, so sad this anime is coming to an end! D: |
 |
| At least Hakaze wasn't that annoying in this episode, but that's just me. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| 5/5 Despite some sophistry, the great maturity and unpredictability shown by the characters, the narrative make it enjoyable episode that shows in a different light even the Wizard of Zetsuen! XD Plot a little too played on the dialogues, I wanted something more. Drawings and animations still nice and clean. Despite the monotony, I felt a certain pathos! Final score 5/5 I think it's the right one, give it 4/5 would be unfair. |
 |
| I really don't get why it seems to think that Mahiro and Yoshino are doing so much at this point . . . I mean Samon mentioned that it was really the only option, so it isn't like it was some "out of the box" epic plan. So what exactly makes them the key? Just because they are the main characters and it has to revolve around them? =/ |

FragOutFire said: Why am I a Berserk fan? All I ever experience is pain. We are in the eclipse and Miura has sacrificed us |
| This is why Mahiro is my favorite character of the series, and Yoshino is slowly growing on me. Hanemura was pretty freakin cool too. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| More and more I feel like Mahiro is like my twin or something in terms of personality. Two more episodes to go. Hanemura is nice and all but I dislike him for some reason. |
| 2 to go. The second half is much better, 7/10 so far. |
| Another great episode, that little flashback again to their younger selves was also pretty cute and interesting! All in all I do wonder how they'll end this series! |
 |
| well this was a good episode and Hakaze didn't fawn on Yoshino too. |
 |
| not sure if I should laugh or get mad at Hanemura....lol Chill bro |
 |
| DIS GOT REAL. I have two more episodes left to watch before the New Year's day here in our country. XD |
 |
| Aside from the ridiculously pretentious Hamlet quotes (seriously, I feel like Im browsing /r/atheism) the shows been pretty good thus far. I cant say that Ive really been enjoying it, but its hood enough to make me marathon it, so good job whoever the fuck made this |
| At first I thought he was going to be pissed because thanks to Aika, the burden is passed down on to him. It was a great scene to show that Hanemura really cares about them although he definitely overdid it... That dinner scene where Yoshino, Mahiro and Aika first met felt so nice, really emphasized how great of a relationship the three of them. (ignoring the secret dating) Episode was a pretty good hype episode. The bonds were strengthened in this episode. |
| Hanemura with the table flip (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ I still wanna know how Aika and Yoshino got into a relationship haha. And when will Junichirou reveal his abilities :p Oh yeah, I wanna know the contents of that letter! |
