| I don't like that random nun Sophie...also this whole war doesn't give me that Shakugan no Shana feeling as earlier seasons (needs moar Shana!!) but I hope it gets better in the long run. |
 |
| THINGS happening in Shana? Wait... what? That doesn't feel right. This show is supposed to boring and nothing should happen. Alas this is the second episode I actually enjoyed in the third season. Which is kinda sad, but hey, if they keep this up, I'll be happy. |
| Sexy time in MY anime? Got to say I'm amused at all the moaning about powerful flame hazes. For me its rather hard to have sympathy with those who if they could would wipe out all humans but I suppose the mindless cheering for the perceived underdog is inevitable. I mean isn't the conclusion going to be inevitable? This isn't Darker than Black or some other bittersweet anime yes? Sunny days ahead come final episode, if it turns out different I'll be shocked. |
 |
| wow the big cool snake guy Decarabia died to that lame oold granny? still seems so slow and set up. oh no more enemies. now the flame haze are winning. oh wait more enemies. this just seems like way too many turns to fast and there hasn't been much of a reason to care about the characters battling. I still want the bad guys to win, cooler and more interesting. oh hey well isn't Margery quite the cougar now. Keisaku GOT SOME. it's like come on KISS ALREADY. DO IT. YEAH DO MORE. then well, confirmed at the end for getting some. he's already more of a man than Yuji, and Margery > annoying loli Shana!. |
 |
| Woah, woah. What is this? This season was supposed to be shit like the first 2. vhayste said: Keisaku got my respect. I mean, what are the chances you'll bone a hot and powerful Flame Haze? |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| bring Decarabia BACK! why he haz to die so fast???? WTF!!!! T_T |
   |
| Hell yes I was waiting for this Keisaku x Margery moment since first season |
| What an interesting turn of events this episode especially the middle part :) |
 |
| Although I don't like the decision to make it an easy victory against Decarabia, the way they animated it was probably the coolest moment in the entire fight scene so I forgive it. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Decarabia NOOOOOOOOOoooo Stupid OP nun. A giant eel type thing that happens to be the coolest creature in the show shouldn't be killed by some random weird ass lightning nun. Such is the law of awesome. |

| gj on screwing up the entire character of Margery |
| Oh liked this episode mainly due to Margery, the sleeping beauty :) Sent with Mal Updater |
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| LOL KEISAKU IS THE EFFIN MAN xDDD he totally made margery his ;P ^honestly, that made this episode for me need more yuji x shana action/development and the supernun sophie really BEASTED on decarabia!!! kinda expected him to last one/two more episodes like the rest of the OP'ed tomogare before him |
 <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2mw85l2.jpg" /> |
| Unlike most of you i personally though this was a very touching moment for Keisaku and Magery. Although i don't believe they are truly in love with each other, its more of him just being real close to her, trying to protect and caring for her. But as far as a deep relationship, that would never work out because of their age differences, but i still thought Keisaku devotion to her was groundbreaking, he really manned up this time and made her feel as though she is important so that she does not have to burden her self with her past and silver any more. Damn, the 2nd half of the episode was intense as usual. Decabaria got his ass handed to him by Sophie Walsh, i knew that flame haze had to be strong as hell given the fact that she is the leading force of the flame hazes. Though i expected more out of Decabarbia, him being built up in the story to be kind of a leading general of the tomagara's he was rather easily destroyed, but that is sophia we are taking bout. Who knows what true power she is capable of. I just can't help but think this season is SO different then the others, i mean the other season focused more on the central power of shana but now with all these new flame hazes, it's like she just insiginifiant to all these other flame hazes. Well now the main force of shana's team has crossed into the black gate and has ran into a certain obstacle. Sabrac. I wonder what the look on shana's face is going to be when she finds out sabrac is still alive. |

deadnoz said: based on the rushed story line of this episode.. they really should of made this a 52 episode season, that episode alone could have carried about 10 episodes xD Yeah i to feel as though this season is rushed to a rather huge extent, that in tern will probably make me lower my over all score. To bad, because thier are some amazing moments in this season of shakugan no shana. |

Charliehsv said: Riptos said: A shame Decarabia died...I really liked him. As each episode goes by, I like the Hazes less and less. I guess I really dont like Sophie at all, it's quite pointless to like her bunch of nameless underlings it seems...the battle felt so one sided for so long that I almost stopped watching. I hear you. We get thrown some random nun and a few new flamehazes in our faces and the show acts like we're actually supposed to care for them. I think this is a matter of trying to adapt this season from the remaining visual novels. I mean its like 26 episodes adapted into nearly half of the 25 novels. Where as season 1 and 2 were adapted into the first 15 novels or so. Naturally its going to be more rushed, as usual the producers take the easy way out and try to rush a final season. Same thing that happened with inuyasha. I am sure the novels vairy greatly in the development of these characters alot more. |

| Margery was like a totally different person there. And way to cute. The war itself is more or less pointless, but it was that way for the thousands of years (if not longer) that it lasted. So it's nice to see that there are actually flame haze that know how to fight. If you do not count all the unnamed ones, and the ones we've known since the beginning like Shana, Wilhemina and Margery, it's only Khamsin, Rebecca and Sophie so far, but still. I hope Samuel and Francois get a nice fight, too. Even Fecor could show off, at least twice. Wonder whats Margery going to do know though. I am sure she has a reason to ignore the by then probably losing flame haze army and instead going straight through the gate. Also, seeing the development, it makes sense that Yuj/The snake of the festival took the whole trinity, the professor and Sabrak. But: They never intended to let it come so far, and with them fighting at the front lines, it would never have. Wilhemina would fight Sabrac, Shana Hecate, Rebecca probably Sydonay, and Khamsin Bel Peol. Sophie would blink the professor away, but wouldn't go through the gate. By the time they would be done and ready to go on, Yuji would be already back. Instead he ensured he would need them by taking them with him..nice move. |
| Sabrac vs Wilhelmina has been the best fight yet since it started so I'll look forward to seeing it again!! Also, well in to Sakou!! |
| "We're nothing more than fools and whores with sad highs" |
| Damn, too bad for Decarabia, he really diserved more screen time. At least now the Sister don't have much power, so the other generals can do something about it. +1 for copulation |
 |
| That fat nuns face was hilarious when she was going cray. Keisaku drowning in dat pussy. |
 |
| yessss i was shipping margery and keisaku from the first season, finally finally <3<3 |
| Keisaku you dawg~ dam Margery was cute :3! Oh come on Decarabia was cool :/!! I no like Sophie >:( |

5layer said: Putting aside the fact that Margery is so much older than Satou, the pairing is terrible. It almost completely came out of the blue and there was no prior romance or feelings or anything. Just looked like a school kid sleeping with an oldish woman to make her feel better. Urgh. The nun hag is annoying. Why does she get magical sky diving hax? She killed the awesome Eel guy like it was nothing. Most of their strategies are making little to no sense and there is still a ton of pointless dialogue everywhere. The Flame Hazes are overpowered and have been killing all the poor Tomogara since the fights started. The outcomes of all the battles are so obvious. I've grown more attached to all of the Tomogora than I did to the Flame Hazes. Shana's random new powers aren't explained at all. Neither are most of the powers in the show. I miss the first season where they didn't introduce a new type of spell (or whatever their abilities are) every 10 seconds. That's my rant. it came out of the blue??? then ur blind, i so something was between them since season 1, i mean they started to fell for each other in season 1, i noticed it, it was about time something happens between them, at season 1 end i predicted that they end up as a couple (the part when u say'd: there was no prior romance or feelings or anything) ofc not cause Margery just realized her own feelings for him, & relationship comes to all people different way so there is nothing weird about how their relationship started!!!

Ovindel said: hgeronimo said: Seriously, did you pay any attention at all in the previous two seasons? Satou always gets deredere with Margery and if you look at his actions and way of doing things it was really clear that he liked her or was interested in her more than usual.Wait .. when did Satou got interested in Margery?! but whatever ... it was a good episode. It's rather Margery liking Satou that way that was the surprising fact. i agree, but Margery liking Satou was not so surprising fact to me :D, i predicted that, that it will happen one day, even if its not shown in anime LOL |
Sugram22 said: I saw what Satou had in season 1 as a feeling of respect towards her rather than one of love. Also, Margery IS old. Extremely old. Physical appearances aside, she is an old hag compared to Satou. Just the thought of there being a relationship between someone who is that old and someone so young like Satou is kind of weird. Not that I'm against it, but the way the show makes it come across really does come off with a creepy feeling. Also, Margery's realisation of her feelings for Satou did come out of the blue as did their relationship.

| 5/5 for this episode. i thought that snake or eel dude was strong but it died so meh next episode going to be so awesome sabraci is going fight and yuji is going to fight as well |

| Aw Margery finally returned Sato's feelings, how touching. Seems like they made some babies afterwards. The battles were boring to the extreme. Skipped them all since it was all side characters that I didn't give a crap about. Finally the reinforcements arrive, hope they manage to defeat the flame haze army. Pretty sure lots of army battles next episode, will just skim through those again. |

| The Margery and Satou scene is one of my favorite scenes from this entire series! It was touching and really cool at the same time since Satou earned some serious props for that! That lucky bastard. I love how they made Margery look like sleeping beauty too. that was nice. I am more of fan of their end then how Shana and Yuuji have their end in the last episode. Says a lot -__- |

| Decarabia was a general and yet died in 5 sec.If defeating bal masqe was that easy why didn't they did it years ago? At least keisuku gets laid which is kinda surprising for this kind of anime. |
| Keisaku has it good xD. Anyways these episodes are just awesome :). |

Forgetfulness said: Inferno_Cop said: You probably forgot the part where he was defeated by (probably) the strongest Flame Haze in the army with a one-time attack. Decarabia was a general and yet died in 5 sec.If defeating bal masqe was that easy why didn't they did it years ago? At least keisuku gets laid which is kinda surprising for this kind of anime. You might as well say "Yuuji could win an a 1v3 against 3 veteran Flame Haze, one of which is contracted to a God of Guze. GG, so easy. Why haven't the Bal Masque won yet?" Doesn't excuse the lame part for me as my suspension of disbelief varies from you as well as twisting and presenting the new thoughts with the basis of YOU COULD SAY THAT(WTF with this assumption?) doesn't explain this show inconsistent power levels. |
Charliehsv said: Riptos said: A shame Decarabia died...I really liked him. As each episode goes by, I like the Hazes less and less. I guess I really dont like Sophie at all, it's quite pointless to like her bunch of nameless underlings it seems...the battle felt so one sided for so long that I almost stopped watching. I hear you. We get thrown some random nun and a few new flamehazes in our faces and the show acts like we're actually supposed to care for them. QFT. Decarabia was possibly the only interesting new character from this season. The battle was so unbelievably one-sided as to shatter completely even the best suspension of disbelief. I assume those that didn't mind must be so mentally weak or struck by fanboy syndrome as to not comprehend the show-breaking insanity of such a 1 sided slaughter and all the fallacies that opens up in regards to the supposed never-ending war. That being said Decarabia heroically acted and was bad ass as hell. Almost everyone on Mal agree that the Flame Hazes are the villains based on the polls I've seen. As such Decarabia was a Hero. abaanda said: fuckin lucky boy getting it with Margery :S she was hella cute This alone redeemed the series. After 65 episodes of the 2 MC not even being able to confess their feelings and acting like pre-pubescent children in romance related matters, 2 side characters show us how its done. This gets extra bonus points from me based on how rare it is in anime. As an aside yes Margery was the cutest she has ever been by a significant margin. Both Margery and Keisaku rocketed to my favorite characters in the show behind Hecate, although to be honest that isn't saying much. hazrauken said: things are getting from silly to rediculous. i gave it 2/5 for a few reasons: I cant sympathise with flame hazes, even shana at the moment as they seem like heartless killers while bal masque has personalities Imbalence of power in action, for example, lets see how many named flame hazes have died this series so far, 0. how many named bal masque, 3-4. they try to cover up the imbalence that has been scripted into this by having bal masque win fights against strong flame hazes: for example lion dude, or how fecor was killed when he was protecting things by a random apperition who wanted only to get to its master not ruin the whole thing. remember lion dude WON the fight and decided to look into space insted of kill her for long enough for her to kill him. it was PATHETIC. decarbia, gonna kill some unimportant people, fine. gonnna fight a named charicter when he is VERY STRONG, boom. nun flies out and kills him in 5 seconds. Extreme dialog: apart from shana saying "im going to find yuji and beat him" and margery waking up and getting together with that guy.. what was achived in the first 11 minutes. they spent 11 mins doing dialoge and 5 seconds killing of the general of bal masuqe have i started yet on how in all the action except from when decarbia was present the WHOLE OF THE DEFENSIVE FORCES couldnt kill 1 PERSON. Which is why i dont see why they are worried now the main army has come because there is 1 named char and therefore 1 person who they might have to consider fighting. This sums up this failure of a show perfectly. Note i borderline dislike the Shakugan series, but i consider this the best episode in it. That being said there is so much rotten malarky in this series, not the least is the complete invulnerability of Flame Hazes. Even this black haired random bitch that seemingly died in season 2 or whatever somehow was resurrected and is in the fight now. No matter how you look at it the vast majority of us have sided with the Tomogara here, with nearly everyone agreeing that the Flame Hazes are the villains. Worse than that though is that they are boring and inexplicably and nonsensically overpowered and invulnerable, and worst of all have multiple long winded names and ridiculous other halfs in an assortment of retarded items , with equally long and annoying names, and no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Besides Margery there isn't even a mildly likable Flame Haze (This includes Shana, 6k favorites is a travesty, although admittedly the fanboys of this show have few better options to pick a favorite character from). And no i don't consider Wil-HELL-mina de-arifuckingmaska likable, in fact i borderline despise her which i almost never feel towards characters in any anime i watch. If she would miraculously get brutally murdered and raped i would immediately up the score for this mediocrity by multiple points. CrimsonLight said: That ugly nun isn't likeable and she's over fuckin' powered. I hope she dies soon. I despise her. That being said the scene where she killed my beloved Eelboy Decarabia was pretty epic, and singlehandedly gave me some momentum not to drop this piece of trash show. Ofcourse the absurdity of it must be held against it, but for 10 seconds i was greatly entertained, and then rewatched the scene again and was still entertained. You know a character is disliked when every post in the forums are negative about her, and she has a WHOPPING 0 FAVORITES. Let me be clear the author royally botched things with this hag character, although that is no novelty in this series. |

| Dayum, Satou... Way to go, you magnificent motherfucker :P He literally hit a MILF centuries years old xD So that's what Decarabia was planning all along. But lightning nun kick was there to kick your ass! That was beautiful :') Though, Decarabia was cool with his chilling voice. He looked always in control, even when I thought he was helpless. But it look like they are in deep shit since all those guy came back and now that they have separated in two group, their only hope is the one heading for the Seireiden. Well, that's pretty opportunist to have a bird Flame Hazes as a guide in that other dimension xD Sabrac will be Shana group next opponent (which I still don't understand how he fucking survived...). I don't think that Shana will be able to completely stop him from getting his body back. Would be too easy. Though, that's pretty reckless, to go alone facing the Trinity and the Snake of Festival. I don't see how she could have a single chance. |

| Suddenly, after saying she isn't strong enough, Shana got such a ridiculous power up wtf...and Nun lady is OP as hell...I don't even get what is going on, but that Margey and Satou scene was so nice. |
 |
| Why do people hate on Sophie? I thought she's a kickass nun... |
| The mindfucker. |
| Loved the scene between Satou and Margery, got me really emotional. Satou dat milfhunter, tho xD The action also keeps improving, Sabrac is ready, next episode probably gonna be dope. |

| Truth to be told is that Margery developement with Keisaku >>> than everything else in this episode. It kinda reminded me that Shana was always about intimate and meaningful developements of couple of important characters and their desires or regrets rather than such superfluous large scale battles. Wish there was more moments like this but as long as Yuji is the (plot twist) ultimate enemy my hopes would remain shattered. In fact, it already too late to redeem this series but at least I'm greatful for this awesome moments. |
