The spoiler I've read was right.

La Folia really wants to get into Kojou's pants. XD

Just when you think it ends well. You get an unexpected event.

Poor Natsuki-chan, please live! Your blood needs to unlock another one of Kojou's familiars!

La Folia is just awesome. "I can't produce an heir in he's like this" LOL

La Folia and Sayaka stole this episode for me, they make such a great team.

I have this show at 8/10 right now, but I'm quite tempted to push it to a 9/10. I'll wait a little longer before making that decision.

Can't wait for next week!

Very nice ep, and very nice end to the fight. And a kind of happy ending.

This anime uses alot of fanservice, but it is justified by the awesome possum fights.

Woah holy shit. Did not see the part after the end credits.. Holy shit..

If I drive for you, you get your money. You tell me where we start, where we're going, where we're going afterwards. I give you five minutes when we get there. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive.

this arc was horrible, this episode was so cheesy it made me cringe an awful lot of times.. hopefully next arc is better and written a little bit better.

A lot of stupid moments in this arc. If I were Koujou, I had already killed Yuuma on sight. Bitch please, her face alone is vexing enough.

But no... Natsuki-chan... <////3

I'm thinking that La Folia's departure is delayed again next arc.

Strike the Blood is pretty much one of the most consistent series I've watched. Even though the last episode in each arc tends to do better than the rest (for good reason), the pacing is tight enough that we're not feeling bored for several episodes waiting for something to happen. With that said, this arc has definitely been very memorable. Up till this point, the enemies have always been from the outside, and the resolutions to each arc have been always happy endings. Both got flipped upside down in this arc.

Now, I don't think Natsuki will die -- but I do believe she'll be weakened to a point where the prison breaks. Along with the appearance of Kojou's mother, this means we should really see some major drama happen in the subsequent arcs. Awesome stuff. I'm really glad that this is a 2-cour.

That escalated quickly. I hope we'll get an epic fight this time and get to see a new familiar. I don't think Natsuki or Yuuma will die.

Natsuki-chan won't die. We can't have the loli character dying. It's bad for the show.




Please don't die T___T

the 4th progenitor?? the strongest vampire??? thats all BS.. I'm seriously annoyed at how friggin weak our MC is...and I think Kojou's body is better off with Yuuma because she can use his powers to its full potential.

I like Natsuki-chan.. I really do even though shes a loli but if her death would make Koujou grow into the kind of vampire like he's supposed to be then why not... *cough* TTGL *cough*

I'm guessing Natsuki-chan is in a 16 year old body since she's been in hibernation for 10 years of which she probably didn't age she says she's 26.

I sure as hell hope that ending won't simply be brushed off like the previous cliff hangers, like she just gets hospitalized and everyone waiting for recovery or something.

Quick thoughts:

1. I hate when shows have characters stand around and talk when the bad guy they're after could easily do something while they're distracted.

2. There were only 3 episodes this arc, I knew it couldn't be over. But that ending minus the tropey scream of anguish was satisfyingly brutal.

3. While this episode wasn't the strongest, I have high hopes for where this arc can lead.

4. La Folia = BAD ASS. Best girl. No competition.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They killed Yuuma and Natsuki!!!!

All hell better break loose! I will not be satisfied until it rains blood!
Koujo, you are not allowed to do a scream like that unless you are prepared to follow through with it. You better not let me down.

Two of my favorite characters killed off simultaneously. How dare you!

Time to prepare myself for the next episode...

Okay, before the ending credits started, I was like, "Uh, so Yuuma just decides to call it quits with her mission and raise the white flag after all that work and build up? Lame much!"

Then after the credits, I was like, "OMFG!! Hold up, what just happened... (rewind video)... Hold up, I still don't get what just happened!!! Anyway, NOOOO, NATSUKI!!!! Yuuma??!!"

Dat double kill at the end tho lol.

Yuuma was quite cool in Akatsuki's body, looked pretty bad ass.

Awesome arc, best one yet, and from the preview, looks like the next one will be great as well.

Again, really enjoyment episode by Strike the Blood.
Nice fight between Himeragi and Yuuma though.

First time, that i didn't hear, "This is my fight"; "No Senpai, this is our fight!", that made me kinda happy.

The end was really obvious, because it always was like that, 2 Episodes introduction, 3rd Episode Fight = Cliffhanger, 4rd Episode, drinking blood!

I knew that Natsuki-chan was called Witch of the Void, but that she would be the key of that prison, was rather unexpected.

And in the end, that double kill wtf, well, there is no way that Natsuki-chan and Yuuma are going to die.

It's really hard to get the new opening and ending, to much Himeragi, u don't think so?

Also, LaFolia + Sayaka, nice fight, it was obvious that nobody stand a chance against those 2 fighting beautys! haha

All in all, really nice episode again.

The fight between the witches on the building was short lived.

Then Kojou finally fought back and reclaimed his body.

The killing at the end was unexpected, DANG!

Eh, nice killings at the end there, too much happy endings were getting boring anyway. I'm fine if they keep Natsuki alive but let's hope Yuuma dies even if she's not at fault here.

Nice fights and we finally see more awesomeness by La Folia. ^^

What a double shot in the end! Strangely i was thinking that things were being too easy for Kojou and Co, so it didn't catch me of guard.
