Nio said Haru had killed all her siblings and parents. (Eps.2, a short flashback at around 11 minutes from the begining)
She has some drug resistance.
She could get Otoya to be unconscious in just a second.

And now, Sumireko wanted to be the number one by
killing her -- the strongest person.

As for the Queen, an image of a honeycomb was inserted at Eps. 2 (16 min), too.
Don't you think a honeycomb looks like a riddle?


Good observations. Based on what we've seen thus far, I too believe that Haru isn't as innocent as she seems. In fact, considering all the scarring that she's experiences, if the hasn't been experimented on previously, she's either genetically/cyber enhanced, or she's been through countless battles and faced death more times than even Azuma herself. Whilst I would be reluctant to call her a last boss, I do believe that she has her own agenda. Considering how Hanabusa mentioned that she wants to become the Queen Bee, I tend to think that both were in the running for the head of some international Zaibatsu, and Haru just killed off the competition. Haru's mission, or the test that she had to pass in order to survive probably involved surviving through school, in which case, she probably has to fend off all the assassins gunning for her. It was probably a surprise to everyone, especially her, that Azuma swapped sides, because it meant that she really could spend most of the show acting like a damsel in distress.

I can guess the reason why Hanabusa was there was probably because she had failed her initial test and this was like her last chance to take back the Zaibatsu spot from Haru, hence all the stuff about being Queen Bee and such.

Thinking further, I get the feeling that the end game might actually be Haru having to kill off all the assassins in the class, regardless of whether they defect. Maybe the last mission will be Haru against Azuma XD

Oh, and I do think Nio will play. She's not just simply a game master. The principal seems quite the suspicious character as well.

I knew from the start that Haru was a bad ass but if she could do that why didn't she fight Banba or Inukai. I know she doesn't want Azuma to find out about her but they were separated she could have kick their asses but the next few episode will surly make up for it.

Hanabusa the puppet master. This episode was awesome. The ED song is amazing!

Im really suspicious of Haru now, she seems like shes hiding a dark secret. I have no idea how this will end, but i cant wait to see!

Totally give this episode an 10!!! I love how strong Haru was, and how she took charge. Also, i loved the twist of Otoya coming back to the picture. If had to guess the events that's gonna happen next i think Nio will attack next, but in the end i believe Tokaku will kill Haru probably with some idea of setting her "free".

Here's a preview for the next episode.

I heard the Engrish for orientation? The teacher was there?

Anyhow, I can't wait.

Not sure if anyone else thought this, but those puppets were creepy. Though I honestly thought she just kept their dead bodies or something so I actually prefer them being puppets over them being dead bodies.
I do wonder what they mean by the Queen Bee thing though...
And I want to know what happened with the other girl...maybe the next episode will let us know.

Haru made a very different face than usual for just a very short moment, when Sumireko's wires were entangled and couldn't work.

The teacher just said he would continue the class. (He is supposed to be a normal homeroom teacher who doesn't know the secret, at least so far.)

I don't know what will happen at the next episode but two of the voices in the preview said,
1. "Haru ni ichizoku no mirai o ninau shishitsu ga aru noka, shiri tai." or "I would like to know if Haru has an aptitude to deal with the familie's future..."
2. "Initiation tte shitteiru kashita? Kitto sutekina .... ni naru." or "Do you know the initiation? I'm sure / it can make / she'll become / a splendid..."

And then, Haru screamed, "No!"
A female voice continued. "What is your wish?"
Tokaku muttered, "Wish?"
The narration at the end: "Next. Riddle #11, How to tell the difference between a bless and a curse."

Thanks for that.

I still don't think the teacher is blind to all this!

Hanabusa died I'm assuming? Boo :( Liked her a lot.
Nio's pretty scary though. Can't wait to see what's on her agenda. And this is for last ep I think? But the Chairperson lady is gorgeous.

Takechi's appearance made me lol.

Loved the shot of Sumireko falling down the skyscraper trying to grab onto the wall.
That animation was so great.

Nice action all around, Haru had the strength to pull her like 20 feet and push her off the railing.

Episode pleasing to the twist, shame about the narrative that does not "explain" well, the fighting at key points.
But interesting in some ways seen as the comeback of Takechi and the dean somewhat ambiguous, to say nothing of Nio.
Hype for the final part.
Drawings with ups and downs.
I wonder what is behind Tokaku, sad to Hanabusa ...

LOL, poor sensei thought it was his fault that the girls were leaving one by one XD.

Damn, Hanabusa is like a cyborg or what lol?

Let the battle start!

That's quite the erotic transformation lol.

Haru wow, that was quite the trap there O.o

Did Hanabusa die...?

Wow.. another intense episode...

(1) Azuma cellphone was not to be broken..? If my memory do not fail, Inukai broke it stepping on it..;

(2) How Haru managed to rise again? While hanging those "wires" ..?;

(3) Wow... Takechi fleeing from the "prison" and still managing to get into the school was a surprise...;

By the way, an intense episode and a good END, as always,that fit the "assassin" of the day...

I'm surprise that turn herself into a cyborg, but it was not enough to kill Haru. I don't know why, but I feel sad she let her body turn like that. Still a really good episode. And why is the scissors girl here?

The combat in this anime just doesn't make much logic. It makes me mad and I know it could be a lot more logical and better conducted.
I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.

"I'll show you my true form!"

MILEY CYBORG!

Didn't find this as good as the last few. Puppets were a wild Joker-esque touch and Haru getting out of her jam the way she did were both awesome though.

"I will tell you when the time comes". It sounds tome more like "When you are no needed you will know the truth".

Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness.
Thy actions cause men pain and suffering.
Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins.
How would you like to see what death is like?

That was probably the craziest tea party of all time.

Hanabusa's sexy transformation was an unexpected twist. She's s cyborg! :O

Haru actually killed someone? I didn't expect that either.
