This was saeko's episode. She is such a bad ass dispite her darkside. Takashi should definitly pick her over rei :3 love how her clothes were wet too xD

Well looks like saeko is falling for him and he will be the reason she can keep on going. That boob grab was something... He could have just hugged her lmao. Well they finally made it back and got someone a little jeolous hehe

Amazing episode!

I'm glad we got more Saeko this time around!!

Saeko is truly my favorite in the series. Cool and calm, but has a girly side :)

Plus voiced by Miyuki Swashiro is a HUGE plus :)

Lots of extragavanza moments! I actually thought she was traumatized because of the little children, but it seems someone tried to rape her and she fought back and enjoyed it instead.

Takashi probably kissed her to calm her down. I doubt they had sex since he couldn't even do it to Rei(but that was in the mansion with people), so it maybe implied they did it, but i don't know.

Eh the skirt thing. She was just fixing it. it would be more believable if Takashi has his clothes all damped or his pants very loose.

Love Saeko!! And I finally she used a katana!! Don't know why she's stuck using the wooden sword when your in a life or death situation like this.

Takagi is jealous seeing Saeko and Takashi holding hands. Rei would have gone yandere mode if she saw that :P

Can't wait for the next episode! Last 3 episodes left T__T

I don't want to end this!

That was freaking awesome. BUT why do they have to SKIP the "SEX SCENE" I mean really it can be totally seen how Saeko is pregnent !!! And that Takashi Gets away after grabbing a breast of a man killer only by his love words.

I know I'm gonna regret this, but...uh...speaking for real here, how did Saeko get supersoaked while Takeshi's completely dry from that splash? And twice at that? I mean, I know why it happened, but...eh...It's a petty thing to be bothered by, but I suppose it's not as bad as why she's wearing heels during all this. I'm not even sure why I just noticed that. Also, Saeko breaking down at the end, and could only be snapped out of it by having her breasts groped really hard being yelled at? Well...sure. It's hard to not constantly question things, I'm just gonna let this roll or else I'm never gonna get through HOTD in one weekend.

Okay, I was researching, comparing and deducing this topic of "Whether Saeko and Takashi had sex?" for 2 hours. My conclusion is that there were no sex happened in the temple.

My argument is, if they already had sex that night, they shouldn't go through the "Takashi becomes Saeko's reason to live" scene. It's true that they were very intimate in the anime scene, but the MOST that they could gone of is a KISS. Also, Saeko is also fixing her skirt the next morning in the manga scene (it's actually the belt of her katana), but there were no implications of intimacy. Therefore, using that scene as an evidence of sex happened that night is unreliable.

My theory is open for any objections and corrections.

Takashi has feelings for Rei, but he's also developing feelings for Saeko that seem to be progressing rapidly.

And since sex was mentioned, I find it interesting that as they lean in to kiss, the screen fades to black (which has been used to imply sex), that just before they leave the next morning, as Takashi's checkin for zombies, Saeko is PUTTING HER SKIRT ON, when she was clearly wearing it the previous night before they leaned in to kiss as the screen faded to black. Hmm, now why would her skirt be off after cutting to morning after they kiss and it fades to black?That's a pretty strong implication. And Saeko also asks him to "take responsibility", which is a very commonly used phrase in anime and manga after "something" happens between two charcters.

It's also very common two people will turn to comfort sex in dangerous or stressful situations. And even though Takashi does have feelings for Rei, they're not together, and Takashi is developing feelings for Saeko too, and she for him. At this point, both girls are pretty much competeing for him, especially since their options are somewhat limited now that the world is dead.

As far as I'm concerned, even though they didn't show "anything" happening between Takashi and Saeko at the shrine (and they VERY rarely ever do in anime), I thought it implied well enough that they did in fact sleep together. The emotional moment before they leaned in to kiss before fading to black, Saeko finishing getting dressed the next morning when she was fully dressed the night before, her comment of "taking responsibility", it was pretty obvious to me what happened.

There's also a hentai manga that shows just what went on between the two at the shrine. Even though I know those mangas aren't canon, it could easily fit between the fade out and morning scene.

I love how Saeko can be overly cute, but such a fucking badass at the same time. Ugh. She's literally goals. I love her so much. She can be a walking fanservice, but I'll still love her and will not whine about the fanservice. Lmfao. She's so gorgeous I can't and Miyukichi's voice is really helping. KYAAAAAA!

Takashi looked so disappointed when Saeko said she likes someone. Pfffffft!

HOLY SHIT! THEY FUCKING KISSED, RIGHT? THEY HAD SEX? HAHAHAHAHA. TI THINK I SHIP TAKASHI AND SAEKO NOW. WAAAAH! I HOPE HE REALIZE THAT SAEKO >>>>>>>> REI <- A PIECE OF SHIT. WAAAAAAAAAAAAH! FUCK FUCK FUCK. I'M SCREAAAAAMING! EEEEEEEEEEEK!

"I think you're the coolest girl I've ever met!" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! They look so good together. Haaaaalp!

"You will take responsibility, right?" What does she mean BY THAT? WHAAAAAT. I CAN'T CHILL! WAAAAAH!

THE BEST AND MY FAVORITE EPISODE FOR ME! WAAAAAH.

They never had sex, even after all these years people never get into their heads smh.
They just kissed which is not even supposed to be there in the manga.
The studio literally rushed up the episodes and created the image for just the fan service.

Also the responsibility part was where she asks him to accept her dark side which takashi said be needs to in order to survive this world.
People still didnt understand the scene till date , even after developers and manga confirmed.

OMG, I'm going to make this very clear and very simple since people don't seem to get it:

Did Takashi and Saeko have sex?
Yes, yes, they did. We know for certain that they kissed. The fading the black afterwards is a common indicator that a sex scene happened. But what happens is the next scene is the big kicker. As Takshi and Saeko were leaving the shrine, Saeko is clearly seen in the background finishing putting her skirt on. And she was wearing her skirt the previous night. In fact, she had just out her school clothes on again after having them dried out before she told her past to Takashi, which led to the implied sex scene.

What's up with the boob grabbing?
It was Takashi's way of showing that he has a darker side to that takes pleasure in causing pain. This had been one of Saeko's biggest insecurities, that she gets off on causing pain, and she was afraid that there was something wrong with her because of it, making her feel like she was un worthy of things like love. This was why she froze when she saw the zombie children, because she was afraid of letting Takashi see her take enjoyment in slaughtering undead children. Takashi admitted that ever since the zombie apocalypse started, he too has developed a darker side. Saeko's concern over this was that he only became that way after everything happened, but she was that way before it all. He was trying to let her know that it didn't mater if it was before or after, this was how he was now, and they both needed their darkness in order to survive, which is why he tried to convince her not to fight against hers anymore. Him grabbing her breast like that was a way of showing her his darkness by taking pleasure in pain.

Was it just for survival?
This may get a little confusing because the dub botched up what Takashi said a bit. The dub has him say that he embraced Saeko's darkness because it meant it would make his chances for survival increase. The sub and the manga however, has him say that he embraced her darkness, just like he embraced everything else that was happening, because that's what they needed to do to survive. They all had to let out their inner darkness, her and him, and accept that this was just the way things were now.

Takashi x Saeko?
Despite Takashi's relationship with Rei, the series writer said that he was going to have Takashi and Saeko get together in the end, however, he didn't know how he was going to go about doing it yet, and he, sadly, died before the manga, and by extension the anime, ended. Maybe Rei des, or maybe Takashi simply chooses Saeko over her, who knows? I suspect the former as dealing with Rei's death would serve as a character development arc for Takashi. But since the manga was dropped we'll never know how they end up together, only that they do.

Am I blind or did we had a sex scene skipped? :( Ehh, I guess that's "the beauty of censorship"...

Saeko is way better girl for Takashi than Reo in my opinion.

LMAO that encouragement.through rough groping of a tit was not necessary. xD

Alice and Zeke were too loud. I know they were happy to see Takashi and Saeko return alive and safe, but it ain't the old world anymore so reactions must change as well.

Sexual Sadism was of course what she had, because that's totally not overdone in edgy anime. And the main character doesn't realize she should get help, he just fucking accepts it, because potentially dangerous mental illnesses should be welcomed with loving arms, of course.

Theres a very well known PG rated movie, It's a movie for people of all ages. A character towards the end of the film sees another character do something and says... x did that on purpose.

Saeko (from her own words) we know can act scared and nervous when she is actually as calm as ice. That scene, outside the temple. Great Acting Saeko.

Takashi and Saeko are both as bad as one another in how they manipulated and attempted to manipulated one another this episode.

Re: Saeko's Crush:

Takagi called Saeko out on it back on the bus and She outed herself when she said the only person she gives af over in Japan is Takashi. And she outed herself again in the tank truck when she was drooling with her head in Takashi's lap.

In this ep. By the end of the ep it's super obvious who her crush is. And the scene in the morning was to get him to 'save her' and he did so with the 'bedroom voice' she requested earlier in the episode at the little island and by *cough* holding her.

If you remember the scene back at the apartment when she was in the kitchen she said to Takashi, some times a girl will put on an act to draw a guy in (or something like that).

Btw it was obvious as early as episode 1 or 2 Saeko is dark and gets off on violence.

Q. Why were the zombies shuffling up to the door of that place but not yet close to the door of that place when a sleepy looking Takagi opened the door?

A. Because Saeko went outside before Takagi to make some noise.

We didn't see any animals or running machinery or birds circling or hear them chirping.

Also. The man she led into the alley and beat to death. Her father would have known, because he trained her, that she put on an act for the man and she put on an act for the police.

Saeko mentions her father is distant from her. He is at his Dojo. It's not hard to see why a Master Samurai or Master Ninja would be unhappy with his child using the techniques handed down to her to bring the attention of the police to their family.

I really didn't want to end up with Saeko so I didn't enjoy this episode this much. Especially since it revealed things about Saeko I liked and then things I didn't.

You know what's probably the worst? Even thought they had this episode he'll still end up with Rei.

Well, that's good for me because I want them to but not for Saeko fans I guess.
We have the same thought.

Now this is where Takashi truly becomes a man. He makes Saeko his girlfriend and fucks her in the shrine. Saeko is the best girl in the series. A samurai like Tomoe Gozen wielding a sword. And she's a yandere.

So, why didn't Saeko attack the child zombies? If she's as much of a "sadist" as she's implied to be, then why didn't she kill them? Even when she was asked at the shrine, Saeko evaded the question to go on a tangent about injuring some guy who tried to rape her years ago. Being paralysed when faced with child zombies is of real concern for someone in this scenario. A threat is a threat, no matter the age.

I sense a love triangle between Takashi, Saeko and Rei now.

realswagmoney said:

Probably an unusual method of motivation tailored specifically for her, since someone trying to molest her in the flashback was enough incentive to kill him. Thus, grabbing the tits gave her a boost of bloodlust.
