THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I'm kind of surprised that nobody made a topic yet... Sweat-dropping ensues! So this time he murders a mother and a child while pretending to be a hobo. And I noticed that the negotiations didn't go well, so does that mean they fight for Madison Square or something now? Eh, the questions.
Anyways I think this will three possible endings for Zwei (or any combination of the three):
1) He dies or something that marks his end of being on Phantom's side and she gets a new apprentice
2) He gets out of the Inferno business alone with/without all his memories restored as his life goes back into being a normal one
3) He somehow gets the 2nd ending but with the Ein this time

facepalm really, there are code of conduct in the mafia world too... They do not pity potential enemy, even if he is a child....But really, they should kill the family AFTER they actually kill Tony NOT before. That was a huge mistake....NEVER underestimate someone who has lost everything....

Freaking intense. Zwei turned into a cold blooded beast and kill Tony's wife and son!

Ms. McCunnen is also freaking hot and I think that she has a thing on Zwei.
Ein is probably getting jealous since Zwei always go to McCunnen's house.

Nice episode. That was some dumb move by the Melanie Square. You never mess up with the Inferno, bitches!

Oh and I can't believe that Zwei was all chill when Ms. McCunnen was acting all seductive. I don't think I would have been able to restrain myself if I were in that situation. lol.

That was a dickhead move on Inferno's part. You don't do that, mafia or moral based. It's not proper.

Why do I get a sense of a "I have to escape from this organization, but in order to do so, I must fight the one who taught me everything" feeling coming up in the later episodes.

Lets see what ep6+ brings.

Although in real life, murdering an innocent child and wife is wrong, immoral, sinful, and just plain sad.. I think in an anime and nothing else it is exceptable considering it makes good a good plot and character progress, also it leaves us with something to actually think about.

So, Requiem for the Phantom is doing a perfect job at demonstrating the fucked up world we live in.

What a shitty plan.

If they'd just proven that it was easy for them to get in, or just kidnap his family, they would have had a negotiation point. Now they're going to have to kill all of Tony's people just to get the square. I mean what are they going to threaten to do, kill his son again?

This is what I want to see from a Seinen. As heart-wrenching as it was, this is sometimes reality.

I am in no way going to bash Zwei, he doesn't have a fucking choice. Also, you can tell he's not feeling anything when his eyes are dilated, that's the only way he can get through all of this; to become "Zwei" is the only way he can avoid the horrors of being "Zwei".

Oh yeah, Ms. McCunnen is brilliant. She's awesome at being playful (and hot!), then she's awesome at being a boss the next second. I hope she sticks around. Her bodyguard is pretty cool too.

5/5, please keep this pace up.

Wow people still wondering why Zwei killed the mother and child?... Uh HELLO... HE'S BRAINWASHED!

Inferno simply gave Tony a decision/test

What is more important to you?

Melanie Square or your family?

Tony chose Melanie Square, so therefore Melanie Square was more important than his family and payed the utter price.

I know right. It took all of those guard awhile too figure out there's a sniper. I would've tried to hide behind something after the first two people were shot down instead of just standing there and looking around, shocked. Of course the other side would be prepared to fight back too. Tony was a little too confident about how things would turn out. Zwei and his eyes. Definitely looked scary at the end...his eyes are as lifeless Ein, instead they look like the eyes of a killing machine (not that I know what that looks like..but I would think it looks like Zwei's).

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE SOMEONE WHO HAS LOST EVERYTHING!

The way they handled the deal was just weird. Tony can turn into a monster now. Unfortunately I don't think this will be brought up again in the stories.

The shooting of the mother and child was psychologically intense. This series just gets better.

I sense something bad is going to happen between the assassins soon...

That was some cold-blooded shit. To kill a mother and a child... Zwei eyes were weird. It looked like he was on hypnosis. Maybe it's just a self-defense to fell no remorse.

But I don't think that their real goal was the Madison Square or whatever it was named. They wouldn't have left him alive if it was. I think their real goal was to show the entire mafia that if someone refused them something, they are ready to go as far as to kill every member of their family. It wasn't about the prize, it was about the message. That ensure that the next family might not do the same error.

That blond girl definitely have some interrest on Zwei. And by interrest, I mean sexual interrest :P

That scene was brutal. The OST made it even more chilling. I was expecting Zwei to be waiting in the room for the farther and then kill him too but I guess not.

Claudia is one deceiving women. I don't rust her. She saw Zwei like that and didn't even bat an eyelid. Is she tougher than Ein or something?
