The barrel etching was a great scene. I sort of wish they would hurry up now, as Mahiro has been toying with that talisman for a few episodes now.

I am enjoying the battle between Yoshino and Samon though, the latter's breakdown is priceless.

Poor Samon, his clan has been waiting 60 years to spring this little party, his whole life has been focused on it, against all odds he is standing on the precipice of success, and then his starring role gets completely usurped by complete amateurs while all he can do is to babble like a impotent fool.

Some days just ain't worth waking up for.

3 episodes of nothing but Dialogue, with a fourth on the way it would seem.
And its freaking brilliant.

THIS. i've been grinning like a f*cking madman during the last 3 eps..... and actually laughed like one a bit when Samon couldnt get his shit together on the "2 years asleep" bluff.
and this.

Man, these past few eps have been so good.

Lawl. Samon had his little, "I win" moment and then Yoshino bluntly states the answer. Haha, dropping his sword and then scrambling to pick it up.

Samon's long ass, inner monologues are hilarious. What a Drama Queen.

Yoshino is pretty damn manipulating. What a bawss. Can't wait to see what they think up of and why Junichiro suddenly joined this party.

From the title of the next episode, it sounds like Aika really is involved with the Kusaribe Clan before all this happened. Guess that was to be expected though after time travel shenanigans.

Wow, that episode was really amazing. Yoshino's rhetorical skills are really top notch, I love those skills in anime. Amazing speeches from a likable character are really the best, Yoshino's voice also fits that purpose, though the best voices for amazing speeches are definitely those of Lelouch and Clannad's Tomoya.

I want to see more of Hakaze, so I hope their plan succeeds soon. :P

Just a thought: what if Yoshino had asked Hakaze to break the barrel?

That would have been the easiest way to expose Samon's trickery. If the barrel was smashed 2 years ago, it couldn't very well exist in the present. Which means a) Samon lied about the barrel and skeleton being the same as 2 years ago, or b) there are alternate realities, which means Hakaze could still be alive in the present, but in a different timeline.

Cheers

I don't know the story of Hamlet nor The Tempest so I went and read just the synopsis to get a feel for it since the characters like comparing their situation with the tragedies. Apparently what Hakaze wrote on the barrel is a reference to The Tempest, Ariel is the name of one of the characters, you learn something everyday

He already knew that Yoshino was just pulling shit from out of his ass to make him admit that there really was a time difference . . . This anime is kind of forgetting previously established thought processes, which is slightly annoying. Plus if it took 3 generations of highly skilled mages to create that barrier, wouldn't you then imagine that it would take a considerable amount of time to find a way to break it? On the other hand it should only take a little bit of time to find Aika's murder . . . Although there is also the outside situation where the military has broken the force field pretty much and the tree is close to being finished . . . This all seems a tad bit late.

I literally didn't even notice the fan service that so many are talking about in this episode.

Even with the villains constant "There's no way he'll be able to figure out this out." quips, this may be my favorite episode, because dear god was the main character crafty!

Good epiosde, not better than the previous, but this is just a continuation of it. Samon seems to really be weak minded, for a simple boy to intellectually outmaneuver you to this extend means that you aren't fit for a leader position, and your plan probably have some big holes in there. Of course, Yoshino doesn't seem to be your ordinary boy. Mahiro is reacting very calming to all of this chaos. He really doesn't care one way or another, but there are signs that he cares a bit more about being on Hakaze's side.

wow Yoshino... damn. I love badass leads those who can kick people's asses with their powers and skill but those clever dudes like Yoshino is just on another level. Like Lelouch and Light... damn. nice.

Yoshino's theory was wrong but it made a lot of sense compared to the steins ; gate shit Samon is pulling and the tree of Genesis who happens to have some connection with logic (I forgot) will do everything to save Hakaze. It connects the dots.

But if you ask me just a microwave oven and a maddo scientist will do the trick

I never knew 4 people talking to each other for 3-4 episodes can be so exciting haha. So many twists, one after another, in this episode. I love it! Yoshino is freakin' awesome 😁

I wonder what would happen if Yoshino told Hakaze to destroy the barrel, but I guess he never thought of it and that's why they have the barrel. Time can be confusing haha.

Whoa, mind blown! I remember Aika giving a warning about Yoshino in the very beginning.

I thought he just grinned in the beginning because of their secret though. I thought because of how considerate he was, he was an honest guy. But it's true, so much just hasn't added up, and now my head is filled with so many questions about his personality, motives, and actions thus far. All the signs were there, and it's shocking how much detail I manage to overlook in the moment.

What is Yoshino's agenda.(Besides saving the world) Does he intend to bring Aika back?

This is a great series. It makes us question everyone involved.

I don't care so much that Samon lied. I just really like the fact that we're allowed inside his head.

Junichirou is the most trustworthy voice, I think.

At first I really thought Yoshinos theory was right, but that he trolled Samon that hard, changed Mahiros mind and gave Hakaze her self-assurance back....awesome.

This episode was so exciting although they only speak with each other, but Samons panic was so well animated, it's like myself is there :D

I don't know why Hakaze react so strange in the preview for the next episode. I need to know it, so up to the next episode!!!

That mind trick by yoshino was amusing. He used a theory that looked plausible and samon wasn't able to prove it wrong, so he lost mahiro's cooperation.

That reminds me of MGS3 Snake Eater. That was the first time I got acquainted with the words "Time Paradox". Good times.

So, Hakaze became Schrodinger's cat huh She's already dead, but at the same time alive and can be brought back to the present just in case. Her assumptions about Samon's plan were spot on from the start.

First of all, props to Kiritsugu's VA to make the even most serious of all monologues from Samon to sound and look hilarious. I just love that man at this point lol. He really seems to lose his cool over every little thing xD

Kind of expected Yoshino to turn the tide in his way rather than giving the accurate reasoning behind this mess. But now I'd like to know what actually happened with Hakaze tho.
