WOW, shu was pretty dam cool in this episode, his void is perfect for him, it suits his personality well,

segai finally dies by shu's hand, i thought he might turn good but he was a villain until the end, i liked his character, he was a cool villain, he reminds me of the joker in batman, except less clownish

his void can also take the apocalypse virus, but if he takes the virus he will soon die? he took souta's virus which was on lvl 3 which means its incurable, i really hope shu doesn't die at the end it would really of suck

5/5
now its gonna be a final battle with gai, i hope they dont ruin the ending

Saying it just once isn't enough, so again- this episode was mind-blowingly awesome. Way to go, Guilty Crown!

Actually I wouldn't mind if Gai and Arisa died together instead of Inori and Shu. You guys saw how fascinated Arisa was; dreaming of Gai, wanting to know everything about him and so on. So if she wants to, she can go and happily die with him together. Wouldn't give a single fuck.

I really love what Shu's void is, it's a very sweet void for who he has been this entire anime. Really can't predict what the ending will be, I'm not going to hope for anything so I don't get disappointed. LOVE GUILTY CROWN.

Oh my GOD finally! Finally! I've waited 18 episodes for Shu to be genuinely gar with no strings attached! It was damn worth it.
I was anticipating his void to be a guilty ...wait for it... crown in the end, but getting back his arm is still more convenient, even if this bear-all-the-pain-of-the-world power smells Madoka to me :D

I was scared as hell Ayase will get the genom though...

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that. The whole time she was holding that little suitcase, I was hoping for my boy Segai to show up. Imagining Ayase with the king's power... No, just no. Would get killed in no time.

I think what happened in this episode is TOO CONVENIENT for Shu.
But that is how the story goes.

To sum it up.
Shu and Haruka aren't related at all. Haruka is Shu's second mother.
The big guy Ogumo died.
That Segai guy finally closed his own curtains.

The only thing that making me hate what is happening right now is because the remaining classmates and the remaining Funeral Parlor members just abandoned Shu when he got his arms sliced off, and then resolve that quickly?

I guess I need to see the next episode.

Ah, it's too bad Segai is dead in this episode.
He's my fav antagonist in this series, and it's such a shame that his role is over.
Anyway, Shu got his void back, and can't wait to see what he will do next.

Okay episode...I pretty much expected Shu to take his new void in this episode because in 3 episodes the anime ends!!
The fighting scene was really good, and the OST of course was great...
Well, now I can't wait for the 3 final episodes and the battle between Shu and Gai.

Also, after Shu took the new void he is going to die, right?I mean his mother told that, the one that will use this void is going to die, so in the end Shu dies...

Fantastic episode. So, "Shu's Void gathers everything and assumes its weight: Strength, weaknesses, darkness, light, everything". What I expected from Shu.

Inori will probably relieve him from his burden, as seen in the opening. So we could confirm for a good end?

Too be completely honest, I think I'd prefer a bittersweet ending with him sacrificing himself to save everyone else and rid the cancer.

The point with Haruka not being his birth mother makes a lot of sense now, considering their original dynamic (him calling her Haruka instead of "kaa-san" or something else) was incredibly casual and something you'd never see realistically. Anyways, I liked it. Had its flaws but every show does, and this was at the higher end of the spectrum plot-wise. Only thing that pissed me off was Tsugumi suddenly going all gushy on dead!Oogumo when she showed no signs of it before.

I really like how Shu turned out to be a more dependent character, which stood in contrast to his previous emotional behaviour.
My friend told me some time ago that his arm could be his void, but i haven't believed in it until after the scene where his arm got cut off...
You were right all the time! xD

The title "Guilty Crown" also became more meaningful after the revealing of the power of Shu's void...

This made my thursday like every week (but only 3 more times T__T)

Don't let it eeeend!

I'm pretty sure everyone was aware of the high possibility that Haruka wasn't his real mom on the first episode she appeared. Though I don't see the family resemblance between her and Mana.... Pink... hair? Guess shes probably an experiment of some sort.

But Gai is just a suck-ass version of Griffith. Pft pft pft. Unless the other theory that he's doing it with another motive, which would be highly likely with the consistency of this anime.

They want you to praise this animu becuase something good finally happened. Its going to be worse on the last episode where everyone is going to have a bukkae session over this show becuase 1. "Shu vs Gai fight SO AWSUM!!" or 2. "OMG Shu sacrificed himself!! Dis best animu evr!!"

My boat's under repair. Besides, I want to see how Noitamina's attempt at a mainstream series ends. Also, I should point out that I never once said that I regret watching this series. And I never hated this episode. I thought it was okay (3/5).

WHY WAS IT NOT THIS GOOD FOR THE FIRST 18 FREAKING EPISODES!?

So we all know Shu's fate now...

Also it looks like Shu's void also replica's of other peoples voids so their "heart" is in no real danger if it is destroyed. That's what I think at least because he was able to create Yahiro's void without even drawing it out, plus the void looks different.

Since we know what Shu's void does now I assume he is gonna gather everyone's "cancer" and have it perish with his own body... Make's me kinda sad knowing what will happen to him and how nothing can stop it. This is the fate of the king. Tragic.

This episode reminds me of Scott Pilgrim climax scene.



Shu has earned the power of Self Respect!! *power up noise*

Segai is such a sadist. This episode was as much about Segai as it was about Shu's revelation. They seem to give him a nice farewell episode by showing him in all his glory. The scene where he tortures and kills the young girl was awkward. It was rather dichotomous of him to be monstrous sadist to everyone, yet he was a completely submissive towards Shu. His death scene was cringe worthy. It sounded sexual almost.

I think Shu "earning the power of self respect" and Segai going out in all his glory is what makes this episode work. It was by far one of the best in the series.

However, while this episode seems to try and justify this anime's messy plot all in one shot, it falls short of it's goal. It's a nice individual piece. But it still doesn't save this entire train wreck of a series.

Ayase seems to be taking the place of Hare as the sweet girl. God, I hope that doesn't mean she's going to die next. Ayase and Tsumugi are untouchable. If either of them die I'm giving the series a 1 final grade out of spite.

Overall, i just hope the remaining characters survive. Though I have a feeling Haruka and Arisa will die towards the end, especially Arisa. She's due to have her own atonement sacrifice to foolishly give Gai one more chance.

Did they really have to play the "dying for everyone's sins" card? I knew it was coming, and I really was hoping the directors wouldn't resort to that in order to evoke an emotional response from the viewer.

And I guess the only reason why the Void Genome didn't kill Shu is because he's "The Chosen One." And will we ever find out how the Void Genome was able to regenerate Shu's arm and gave him the power to cure Souta? Probably not.


WOW, you make a great point. It's like they're actually going to rip off the Bible!! or maybe it's the Matrix with the "chosen one" theme. Though everyone says Matrix was a ripoff of the Bible also. Really, nothing about Guilty Crown feels original the story seems like it slapped together a million different ideas from other series and threw them together. Lately most anime seem to have this compulsion for copying ideas. So, can't really pin it just on Noitamina.

I wonder if Shu dies and then gets resurrected?

So, they turned Shou into Archer...well, that's better than turning him into Shinji 2.0.

Still a horrible episode as allignments switch around more than the underwear of Arisa while she's schlicking off to Gai.
