| it's starting to get really trippy... i'm kind of confused but i like it:) hei and nick having the same powers is kinda lol worthy haha |
 |
| Very nice episode, the piano was very pretty! |
| Hmmm.. the green haired girl reminds me of C.C from Code Geass. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Probably my favorite episode so far in the series. |
| I wonder who is thes green haired girl at the ending. She is holding Hei's head in openings so i'm curious what will be her role. And also what Yin have done that Hei thanked her? Great but quite weird episode; starless sky and Hei's sister for sure will be mentioned in next episodes. |
| SO who killed Corinna? Actually im pretty sure the person who killed the her was Nick. She was the one who had the meteor fragment in the first place and Nick killed her to retrieve it. But since Nick killed all those men outside the gate I'm guessing it's because the fragment was indeed out there...so maybe he might have killed Corinna thinking she had it then, but realized she didn't. Still, it's unclear although it may be the producer's error. I wonder who/what Nick shot at though when he was attempting to shoot Hei. Of course, it appears to be Hei's sister but what/who was ACTUALLY there? And who's that green haired girl?! Looks like C.C kid version :o i think Hei thanked Yin because she was the one who was observing him and his location so that he could be helped. It appears that Old man when Hei was in the alley was the person that was to escort him out of that situation (which again was thanks to Yin). speaking of Yin, I can't wait for next episode because i will finally get to hear/see the story behind her. YES!! |
  |
| most say that was interesting, in any case, something i dont understand is. They put on suits when they take a walk inside the gate, because of poisonous fumes or something like that. BUT what i don't get is where it was that nick hid the meteor shard? and it must have been within the gate, because of the singatron radiation field which only happens within the gate.. and if even more so, yeah maybe the contractors can survive within the gate, but the guard didn't die, and in the end all the scientists are standing without suits around the hole Hei was sitting in after the explosion thingy which the singatron radiation field made. I DONT GET IT!! is this place dangerous or is it safe enough????? |
| What is this, some kind of cheap pulp fiction where every woman who comes in contact with the male lead is required to fall in love with him? |
| they need to show more of that other girl-*see's preview* ok you got me, but i wanna see her with Li so ha! |
     |
| I didn't really get what happened, so I hope we'll get some better solid explanation of the Gate's works. It was surprising and yet interesting to find that Nick and Hei share their ability, combined with how Nick was seeing Hei as a person. One of the less-good arcs out there. Still the piano theme in both the parts of this arc were really touching and good. |
  |
| Can anyone clarify the significance of the reversed lettering Mina pointed out? The group of Pandora scientists were examining the footage where the expedition crew were being attacked; the footage briefly showed street signs that had its letters backwards in which Mina mentioned, but then that was it. I can't figure out why that happened. |
| Great episode, although I have so many questions. I want more of the outside/near the gate stuff, it looks so awesome and so many strange things happen. I think we'll never get an answer to these questions, the next arc is already starting. I would've loved if this show had more than 2 episodes per arc, with more explanation and stuff. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
crazybear91 said: i actually think at first nick hid the meteor shard inside the telescope, which is how they saw stars when there weren't any (it allowed them to see what wasn't there which is what happens when you are in the gate) sicne they were looking through the lens. then corinna tried to steal it (no idea what happened to her though!) causing nick to hide it elsewhere (pretty sure nick killed her as shown by obeisance). the only thing that is slightly frustrating is feeling a lot of things are unexplained like where did nick go.. does it mean he fulfilled his dream but really he just died? same with previous episodes like the one about perfume.. what is it for/what's with the petunias! Ah yes very interesting regarding the telescope, did not think of that. |
| Just when I felt that I was finally getting a grasp of the world of this anime, my theories are proven false again. Looking forward to watching more to understand what is going on. |
cyruz said: I'm not really sure what happened but it was a real nice episode. Was funny to see Nick and Hei having the same ability. I liked the psychologic parts of this episode, too, really interesting. yay so i wasn't the only one |
| What the fuck was up with that rocket scene? Some weird shit right there, I dont get anything thats happening anymore. |
 |
| It was a bit confusing, but I enjoyed it. Hei was cool like always. |
 |
| man.... I was really confused near the end -_- I fell asleep last night near the end, but rewatching the last half doesnt help me. so after reading through these four pages, NO ONE knows what really happened to nick? Since they say you can gain what you lost, do you think a rocket really materialized with his sister and he turned younger? or was that a metaphor for him exploding himself with his power? I know some may think this is a stupid question, but are they INSIDE the hells gate or not? it seems like they keep saying theyre in it, and then theyre not. I dont even understand what exactly the fucking hell's gate is. Im a very intelligent person, so maybe i just smoked too many bowls while watching this show, but it seems they havent specifically explained what exactly happened at hells gate that caused it. why cant they leave that facility for 30 days that theyre in in this episode and why'd they go there in the first place, not to mention what the fuck IS this facility that they're now in? wtf????? i like this anime but its really ambiguous. if anyone knows what happened to nick PLEASE enlighten me but if not atleast explain to me if theyre in hell's gate or not... |
 |
| Wtf is happening. |
| Great and interesting episode, this sure was a bit confusing but sure was interesting in the end! Lets see what's next! |
 |
| I guess when they said you can retrieve missing stuff only inside the gate happened with Nick he wanted to go out of space with his sister so that happened he turn younger cause they promised to each other when they where younger apparently or that is what i think at least. and what some one said about Hei having to do something with the starry sky because of his eyes is interesting it could explain why Nick said you believed in my dream right before he took of. |
| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| Yeah that rocket scene...what does the meteor fragment do exactly? It made a huge ball of light and then Hei and Nick were in it or something....and then he came back to his senses because Yin was there in a puddle. Mhmmn. Super confused. But that last part when Hei gave Yin a candy and thanked her, that was cute. |

AnimusNathan said: The girl looks like C.C. 0_o Oh thank god I wasn't the only one who thought this. Overall, pretty interesting episode. I couldn't fully comprehend everything, but it felt like a good episode. LOL |
 |
| This arc was fantastic |
| Loved this arc. Especially because of the relationship between Hei and Nick. They could have been brothers in some other life. I think Hei is blinded by his self-righteousness. He kills contractors like he knows everything about them... |

| WTF just happened? I think that my IQ is too low to understand this show. ^^; I'm gonna Wikipedia it before starting episode 13. |
| that girl in the end.... C.C????!!!! |
 |
| I am glad I am not the only one who didn't understand what was going on... That's what I got: Ok Nick and Hei had the same power and very similar pasts and dreams. That's why Nick felt so familiar to him and thought that Hei would understand his dream. But did Nick already know that Hei was a contractor and did he die at the end? Also had Hei something to do with Nick's dream getting fulfilled, that's why he said to him "so, you believed in my dream?" ???? The CIA girl was killed by Nick for trying to steal the meteor. The Indian girl found what she was looking for but I don't really care what's that to be honest. I found her quite annoying. I think Yin made Hei realize that people were coming and alarmed him. That's why he thanked her. Also one of my theories is that the meteor thing helps you find what you lost (Nick and Hei saw the real stars, Hei was seeing his sister, Nick got his wish at the end...) and Hei's sister was connected with that thing somehow in past...?????? Well anyways, it was a cool arc. I am also glad to see Yin's past at the next episode! I like her very much so far :) |
| dafuq happened regardless i love hei so much |
| my understanding of what happened is that the meteor shard helps the people with powers unlock their full potential. as mentioned in other episodes, contractors loose their feelings because feelings make it harder to control powers and the shard gives it back it seems. Hei and Nick had similar dreams so while consumed by their power they entered an alternate state of existance in which their dreams could be realized. Nick who was more obsessed with his dream got consumed by it but Hei ws brought back to reality because he saw Yin's weird water thing. |
| lol the Indian girls def wanted the D +at the it looked like C.C. The meteor thing def confused me a little bit This arc was pretty good We kind of got a little background information on Hei wonder who this new girl is O_O she's going to want the D as well >.> |
 |
| Yup ^^ |
| Still guessing on whats actually going on in the series, but this arc was still very good. Feel like the series is picking up. |
 |
| Hei is a player, all the chicks want him, none can have him. |
 |
| A love interest? I LOL'ed. Damn, this arc was so nice (even though I understood like 30% of it). I really liked Nick ;v; mayukachan said: WTF just happened? I think that my IQ is too low to understand this show. ^^; SAMEEEE. |

I feel better now :) |
 |
| that was a sick ep. that renumeration of putting the shows upside down is a cool idea. love those character traits. |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Why all the girls in each story were easily attached to Hei. |
| At the end I was like "Is that you C.C. ?" Finally, the girl from the OP make her appereance. |
