Takuan_Soho said: GreenDrag said: Actually, you can hear it nice and clear, that he says "orera wa", and right after that comes the interference. (just listened to that part 5 times to make sure my mind isn't going nuts on me) If you read the novels and know for a fact what was said, ignore me! But I have a strong feeling that interference was put there at that exact moment to trick us into what was actually said. While I agree that it does sound as if "wa" was said, that could have been a trick of the ears due to the should of the distortion merging into the syllable he said changing the "ra" to "wa". I have an extremely high opinion of Japanese sound directors, this is something they could easily do something like this. Japanese as a language loves to change syllables based on sound, so this is something that they would play with. Plus, I think that it helps that the writer is not a Japanese native. Having had to be able to learn to hear the difference between these words (which I free admit is my weakness in Japanese) he would probably have more "top of mind awareness" of these quirks. For native Japanese hearing it would be completely natural. Oh well, I could be wrong, but that is what makes watching shows like this so much fun, you really have to think about it, but in doing so one can overthink as well. I have read the novels, but that has very little to do with it. If you strain your ears a bit, and listen to it very closely, you can hear, that BOTH syllables are present. Well, that, and basic Japanese sentence structuring. 'Ore' and 'Orera' are both pronouns, meaning 'I/Me' and 'We/Us' respectively. The 'wa' sound after that is similar to the english 'is' (as in It is, I am, we are, etc...) (If there are any grammarl terminology issues present, do excuse me, it was about 12 years ago, that I last gave a flying frell about grammar terminology).

| i summon war-beast Izuna in attack mode, and activate the spell card Elf..! i like how they also changed the ending to match the ending of the episode ^^ edit2: best episode so far. there's pretty much no fan-service here (the panty bet doesn't count), and more focus on content, though this was only a transition episode before the next game |

| Wow this episode was another one that completely blew my mind. Especially the ending. Gimme a sec, I actually teared up a bit at the end. Izuna-tan though~ wow, much cute, such kawaii, very shiro-like. The way that Sora and Shiro figured out everything about the warbeasts is just amazing and it was epic just watching them solving everything and becoming the greatest gambler Imanity has ever seen by betting their "Race Piece". Insanely awesome. 1 word for the warbeasts - #rekt. I don't know what Sora did or where he went but I have some vague idea that Sora made a promise or something that had to do with Tet. Otherwise nobody else has the power to just make a person disappear and wipe him from existance. The reason I was tearing up was because the thing that happened to Sora and how it made Shiro feel is the exact feeling from the movie Steins;Gate where nobody remembers Okabe except Mikase Kurisu. That feeling is just so so sad :'( I cri everytime. Then they altered the ending theme song which is a beautiful song that makes me understand a bit of Sora and Shiro's relationship a bit more, but when Shiro is left standing there all alone it just made me sympathise even more for her~ Poor Shiro :'( Despite the epic and sad ending (which is showing how interesting next episode is going to be), this episode deserves a 5/5 if not a 6/5 for its brilliant style and how it is setting up the story nicely. Honestly people ought to rate No Game No Life higher~ this anime puts the word "Epic" to good use ^^ |

Come on, don't tease him so much xD I wanted to write the same thing after his first post but thought it would be too mean to do that. Spoiler for GreenDrag to read: I'm not teasing him. He seems like a guy, who like food-for-thought, so I'm feeding him with 7-course meals... |
Takuan_Soho said: GreenDrag said: Well, that, and basic Japanese sentence structuring. 'Ore' and 'Orera' are both pronouns, meaning 'I/Me' and 'We/Us' respectively. The 'wa' sound after that is similar to the english 'is' Not quite, the "wa" is a nominalizer, it makes the proceeding expressinon the topic of the sentence. So Ore wa would technically "As for I" and orera wa would be "As for we". "Desu" would be the equivalent of the "is" (in the case of that particularl line "ja nai" is "is/are not"). GreenDrag said: If you strain your ears a bit, and listen to it very closely, you can hear, that BOTH syllables are present Well, that's my problem, even if I strain my ears I can't hear two syllables, only the one "wa". The interference gets in my way. Now timing wise he does have enough time to say both syllables, but that could be explained that when the screen goes b/w time actually stops of that brief moment. You are probably right, as I said above I know I have trouble sometimes with hearing. he clearly said orera wa (if you're talking about when Sora talks with Shiro before disappearing) |

| Holy Crap this anime is good. Yu-Gi-Oh references, the uncontrollable urge to fondle a fox-like loli, the ballsy bad ass bet that Sora made AND his disappearance which effected the ending theme song. I just- can't- *leaves the computer* |
 |
| Nice what they made with the ED. Good episode, although I have no Idea what is going on there at the end. Guess that's how it's supposed to be with a cliffhanger like that^^ Can't wait another week... |
| What happened to Sora?! Holy shit the ending! |
| That ending was trippy. Matrix level trippy. I'm Upping my rating to 9. IT was at 8 only cause the excessive fan-service was a bit much. But even now I have to say this anime has the "IT" factor going. Much like Steins;gate did. The story is not without flaws and there are some negatives. But IT just has "IT". Once you have "IT" you don't need to explain "IT". You just go with IT and enjoy the ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTQfGd3G6dg |
| This series just keeps getting better and better with every episode! And that ending...just wow! |
| 'Once an Arsenal man, always an Arsenal man.' - Bob Wilson. |
| The ending was trippy as shit. Poor Shiro I hope she can find her brother soon the series won't be as fun without him. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Sora's personality disorder certainly is more evident this time. Nobody could just lightly bet an entire race's well being without thinking of the consequences, even as confident as he is. His reaction to Steph asking how he would take responsibility says it all. |

Takuan_Soho said: DreamingBeats said: he clearly said orera wa (if you're talking about when Sora talks with Shiro before disappearing) No not the last one, the fourth one. The first one is "ore wa", "I believe in you" The second one is definitely "orera wa" "We are one". The third one is definitely "orera wa" "We are bound by the promise" The fifth one about "we win games before they start" is "orera wa". The fourth one though I can't hear. I can hear the "ore" and the "wa" but not the "ra" which is what is needed to change I to we. The "ra" is cut out by the interference. At least it is to me, but that could be just me. listened again and, from what i heard, he does say ''orera wa'' it also makes sense that he'd say ''orera wa'' rather than ''ore wa'' based on the context - he's talking about him and Shiro |

| The rivalry between the grandpa and Jibril was funny :3 So their game is a video game :P That ending and ED Sora just vanished, if I had to guess where he went I would say back to earth to get some help or something. |
| Hahaha. Love the Detective Conan and Yugioh reference. I really wonder what happened now that "Sora" isn't here... and Shiro might be getting back something that was lost next episode? Can't wait to see. |

Takuan_Soho said: DreamingBeats said: listened again and, from what i heard, he does say ''orera wa'' it also makes sense that he'd say ''orera wa'' rather than ''ore wa'' based on the context - he's talking about him and Shiro Not necessarily. Remember that last episode Sora said that Shiro was "the real one", which implied that he did not view himself as being real (rather that the was empty), so in this context, that he specifically said "I am not a Shounen Manga hero" would make a good deal of sense since he is sending the person he does think is a hero into battle. I will admit that I want this to be true, that this is a clue that will become important later because it would be I think pretty nifty writing, and since I honestly cannot hear it, I made the guess there was some meaning to it. But if you also heard it then that is two strikes against me. try watching the same scene several times, it should be clear then (i did this to confirm my hearing was not being biased) edit: why is Shiro surprised that Sora left? i thought they understood each other, but Shiro has no clue where Sora went.. |

| ending gave me Steins Gate the movie vibes... now Im curious what happend to Sora. |
| F...that ending is disturbing.. It's like from a horror movie. I was so scared looking at Shiro. Very nice animation though. |
| Holy shit that ending I AM NOT OKAY. |
| haha Yu gi Oh and Hyouka reference there :p |

This show is all hype right? is this show hyped? yes, arguably the most hyped series of this season as a "complainer", i actually enjoyed this particular episode. bonus points for not adding eye-rolling fan-service like some previous episodes... edit: at awilson338: nice catch..! |

| Series continues to impress me this was very well done ~ |
| Simply epic! I knew Sora would eventually figure out that the mind reading was fake, but I wouldn't have guessed that something like video games would be their secret weapon. Poor Shiro! I wonder what happened? Sora went off somewhere to help prepare for the game against the Warbeasts, I assume? Is Shiro in an alternate timeline or something? Someone clue me in on this because I'm a little lost. This anime continues to be amazing. I'm holding off on reading the Light Novel until the show is finished but damn its getting hard not to read it. |
| Holy crap that cliffhanger, this has really become my favorite this season. That was a really impressive episode. |
| Near end... Tv starts blinking gray and sound distorts.. Me: is my tv dying? D: Next episode can't come soon enough, i have to know why and how Sora has been erased! |

DreamingBeats said: edit: why is Shiro surprised that Sora left? i thought they understood each other, but Shiro has no clue where Sora went.. Note, that Sora also appeared to talk with someone noone saw. Also, Shiro can't make heads and tails of how Sora thinks in strategy games, because he's always being "sneaky", meaning, that their thinking isn't the same... which has been said several times. (you know, the two of them making the perfect gamer, because they both have the thing the other is weak at). Also, it might be, that something similar happened to Shiro, that was going on with the elves in their games againts the Eastern Union. GENUINE SPOILER ALERT! Hey Caleb, check out Takuan's guess |
