cyclone1993 said: Maybe Nio is actually the one with the Primer ability? It would be an interesting twist although i don't know how exactly it would work. Tokaku is beginning to doubt her reasons for protecting Haru. There was some very nice music in the background when Tokaku was confronting Haru in the graveyard! The truth behind Black Class is actually quite interesting, but I'm curious how Nio fits in with all this, and what's with all those marks on her body? However, she did imply that not all the things the clan does are bad. Perhaps Haru can take over the clan, and make it to a force for good? I really like Nio's Ed. I wonder who we will get in the next two episodes? Poor Shiena never got one... How would that work? So far she has no relation to Haru's clan and if she had the primer ability, then she wouldn't be by the chairwoman considering the chairwoman is the current primer. There can be only 1 primer aka Queen Bee. That's how the clan is setup.(that's also why it's called Queen bee power as well.) But when they do the black class, it's to put the next primer candidate through her paces and see if she can make it out. Thus she would then become the next primer either after graduation, after being groomed by the current prime, or once the current primer dies(of course till she dies Haru would be her student. Basically in every instance if the current primer was alive, she would step down, or the candidate would receive the title upon her death.) Unless they throw out the current established information of this episode and basically the series up to this point now, there can only be technically two primers. The one already at the head of the clan aka the chairwoman and the primer that is going through initiation aka Haru. Again unless something changes Nio seems to be nothing more than a protector, servant, etc to the primer that is currently in power. Now like I mentioned a page back, she could intervene in Tokaku and Haru's fight and protect Haru. Thus becoming Haru's new right hand. Which is kind of what I think is going to happen. Unless of course Tokaku and Haru make up and Tokaku becomes her right hand again and stays with her like Nio does with the chairwoman. Or Tokaku and Haru say fuck it all and leave. But considering this new twist, I'm kind of hoping Haru becomes the new Primer and Tokaku becomes her protector again. Thus the two "clans" unite. Haru takes her place at the top of the empire and Tokaku keeps her safe. Of course after the chairwoman grooms Haru. Mukkura said: I waited a whole week to watch this and now Tokaku is betraying Haru? What the hell man, stop killing off my ships. It was a cool twist and all that, but I just want them to be happy. ): Happy TOGETHER. I agree. I'm still holding out on them two getting back together. I've been shipping those two from the beginning as well. No other pair really makes sense except the ones established already in the series. (such as ChitaruXHitsugi) |

| Well I saw that coming. T_T Happy ending please? |

| Predictable ending. i hope Haru and Tokaku survive, at least |
Psyche_Izaya said: Predictable ending. i hope Haru and Tokaku survive, at least How did you see that coming? I honestly don't think it was predictable at all. But maybe that's just me. Well I guess you could say it was predictable by the type of anime it is. So ya... I guess your right. EDIT: Kind of offtopic - I'm really hoping the BDs are uncensored! I'm definitely going to watch the BDs for this series unless they REALLY screw up the ending. |
| "Therefore, the world is full of yuri." That's the right answer :D Didn't Tokaku rip off her advance notice or did she use her reward to get another one? We still have two episodes left so I doubt Tokaku's the final boss. I really hope the next episode won't be sappy though. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Tokaku you little shit. I knew that this sort of a twist was coming, but I still really enjoyed the episode. |
| Nio defiantly has some ulterior motive. |
My Candies:     |
| Why is there a card in Tokaku's drawer? Didn't she rip the card in 2nd episode ? Did she get a new one from Nio ? |
| Tables have turned: Haru vs. Tokaku! D: Damn...what a plot twist.... Well, it was expected right? I mean, Tokaku now knows the truth of Haru, so the only way is to fulfill her duty as an assassin and to kill her target.... But...they were having a good relationship! D: Oh well....next 2 episodes are going to be awesome! xD |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |

Didn't she rip the card in 2nd episode ? Did she get a new one from Nio ? Yes she ripped it up at the first orientation when she declared she was going to protect Haru. Nio must have given her another one, the chairwoman, or she just made another herself. Everyone is thinking Nio has ulterior motives. But while she does act devious, she has shown true in one regard, serving the chairwoman. Unless Haru is discarded, I doubt Nio is going to be allowed to try and kill her. Unless she's the final boss for Haru to graduate. Which would be a nice climax to the series. Considering she seems to be the most formidable. I guess it all depends on the chairwoman. But Nio seems like she's directly apart of the clan since she was saved by the chairwoman. So I'm a bit conflicted on this... EDIT: But still the way they have set this series up so far, when someone's ending theme is played, they are effectively out of the way. Her theme was this episode and she hasn't declared an assassination attempt. So unless they screw with the whole design of the series for another twist, I don't see how Nio could get her chance. But then again, that's the whole point of a twist. Even though it would be WAY MORE expected then what happened this episode. Considering she was among the original 11. (not counting Tokaku for obvious reasons as she just signed herself back up.) |

| What's the name of the song for Nio's closing? I'm hoping that Haru is secretly acting like a wimp and is actually just as skilled as the other assassins, but masquerading as a defenseless coward so that Tokaku will do the killing for Haru... |
| So this could go two ways. Either one legit kills the other, or Neither dies and Happy Yuri After. Nonetheless it got me cliff-hanging. |
[right] |
| Anyone else notice that the Queen Bee power wore off rather quickly with Tokaku? I guess they made it that way so it wasn't "overpowered" and so it couldn't be considered mind control. Basically it is just charm, mental suggestion, and manipulation. Otherwise Haru consciously or unconsciously could still sway Tokaku. But as soon as Tokaku found out about the truth behind the Queen Bee power, she rather quickly came to the decision to declare her assassination attempt. I figured it would take a bit more than what it did. @Zero01 - Hmm to be honest while that would be pretty badass, I like Haru BECAUSE she's that innocent, fun loving, high spirited girl. She's done fine so far with her "badass moments." If she went full assassin I don't think I'd like her character anymore. @porkypink - well there's a few other ways it could end. But it involves variations on one of them dieing or the Yuri ending. Well actually neither one of them could die but still not end up with the Yuri end. (unless Haru and Nio decide to get together :P. But it would be more like Haru being the new primer with Nio protecting it. As one of the options.) But ya I'm cliff-hanging as well. I can't get the damn episode out of my mind! The wait till next Friday is going to be excruciating. I'm going to watch it again tomorrow. But this time I'm going to go for a better sub provider. (I used Horrible subs when they first uploaded it.) |

| I wonder why they are 2 more episodes ... |
| So, this whole riddle thing was complete BS :O "claps and cries" good job :) I feel like a r*tard now for trying to answer them :( I just realized Haru talks in the 3rd person or something - Haru wants a normal life, Haru didn't know etc... :O It's kinda kinky actually :) NIO <3 |
 |
| Yuri?! idk why but I like that name ;) Let's see if Tokaku can kill Haru. I want to see Nio's true power as well. |
| Hmm, not sure about her decision. |
 |
| Haha saw that one coming. I am very satisfied with the way things have turned out kekeke |
| Reality is better than memories. A reality where I exist and you're right here next to me. -Yano Motoharu |
| What we need now is another sword for Haru and bam! it's Kannazuki no Miko all over again lol. It could be that Tokaku is trying to test something, and I think Nio is a good lying loli |
| i find it funny how the Riddles were just BS can't blame some people for trying to figure it out but they kinda just got trolled in the end lol. Was expecting Final Boss Nio but instead got Haru still doubt either of them are gonna die fighting "each other" |
 |
katsu044 said: lol this. There are other forums where they try hard to figure out the Riddles, now I kinda feel badi find it funny how the Riddles were just BS can't blame some people for trying to figure it out but they kinda just got trolled in the end lol. Was expecting Final Boss Nio but instead got Haru still doubt either of them are gonna die fighting "each other" |
| That ending was was so kickass! |
 |
| I saw the plot twist coming when Tokaku was holding a sword. Either way, Haru's true nature is kinda interesting. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| And thus, the Illuminati ichizoku is now in danger. |
| The story in this anime sucks bad, why am I still watching this? |
| <^_^> |
| Yuri is the best name for someone in this series. |
NYANPASU~! |
| Kinda knew it was something like that.. what I didn't expect was for this to turn into a cheap yuri drama. "Does she love me?", "Do I actually love her?" oh gawd... Really disappointed that Tokaku is the final boss and not Nio. I only stick this far to watch Nio and she doesn't even get to fight. Here's to hoping she protects Haru (unlikely though it is). Oh well.. at least Nio's ending song was good |
 |
| I'll say Tokaku will just pretend to kill Haru, in order for both of them to escape that underworld of society domination and assassination. After all, there are only two more episodes to go... one to "kill" Haru and one to escape together!! Remember that even if they won the "Black Class Event", Haru and Tokaku are still connected to their respective clans, so they have little choice on the matter. Even if they both wished their prize to be "release", I doubt such a prize was to be awarded since the main focus for the promoter as been Haru power development all along... So, by pretending to kill Haru and then demanding only for her own "release" from the clan shackles, Tokaku is trying to somehow create a chance where the both of them can live normal lives from that point on. |
Personal tastes are like peoples behinds, each one has its own, and only those who wants to find [...] will smell one another. |
| So no more yuri I guess. :c Quite excited to see what will happen next. |
| And now it's Tokaku's time to participate... |
 |
| As was to be expected, this was the episode wherein the whole "attractive-female-schoolgirls-killing-each-other" concept was put aside, and in its place we got some real backstory as to what the Academy is; And what's more, the concept was played to stunning effect, causing some inner conflict for Haru, and relationship-based conflict for her and Tokaku. The setting of the cemetery led to some heartbreaking flashbacks, and what I thought was going to be the big moment for Tokaku and Haru, like seriously frick you tokaku break up my OTP I never liked you anyway Next week is the penultimate episode- we've obviously got a lot to solve after this week's ending, and I'll be looking forward to it! |
 |
| Wow, what a setup for the next episode. Will Azuma actually be able to go through with it? She looked very hurt after believing that Haru was using her. Then again Haru is not as helpless as she lets off... Also Nio's eating noises were pretty amusing |
| Poor teacher ^^" And really I thought only member of the clan could go down there... Could she pass because she wanted to kill Haru? I seriously hope she will succeed though it probably won't happen >< |
| Yeah Azuma just came to talk, she's totally holding that sword for no reason. |
 |
| Oh Shi-, it's reaching out it's climax. Tokaku drawing out her sword in front of Haru after her own path decision, makes me see what's the next episode looks like. At least we get to see why black class was created, and why Haru is called the "queen bee." Nio is a cool character, felt bad about her being lonely. Her ed song is great. |
_Hatsune said: i saw that plot twist coming... i hope a good fight for the next episode. Me too, i think Tokaku might be doing this just to confirm that this is her own choice and NOT some one else's who is manipulating her ... guessing she is going to stop right before kiling her |
 |
Sylverith said: Instant fav ED of the whole series. Nio will forever be my best girl on ANR. Nanjo Yoshino sounds beautiful as always<3 Anyway, i kinda expected that twist since the latest ep but still, it got thrusted all on my face all of sudden and i just went all wtf-ing LOL Expect some angst for the next episode. Well, i guess.. well it wouldn't be surprising anyway, just see it coming. She has one of the best enigmatic charecters in the anime, but tbh the lack of charecter develepment helps :3 .... i predict a twist at the end revolving around her, it has been building up for quit a few episodes, waht tiped me off was the way she spoke to Hru ... |
|
| I thought this anime had 13 episodes but it's suddenly listed as 12? Anyway, nice episode! Didn't expect Tokaku to go after Haru.. Actually when I saw the black letter in her drawer I thought Nio left it there, also because Nio and Haru were going so deep underground.. Very curious to see the ending. |
| Proud mama and papa of Misha Yuuki* (02-01-2014 - 22-01-2014) Thank you for the wonderful twenty days you gave us. <3 One day we will meet again.. |
| Damn cliff hanger! What will happen now... I'm not sure i want this to happen ;-; I thought Nio would be the last D: instead it's Tokaku... Please don't die in vain Haru ;_; |
| Man, I feel really sorry for sensei. It seems like he really loves his job, even with just three students he keep on teaching. He's so cute by the way! I was kind of expecting Tokaku wanting to kill Haru, I bet she feels really hurt. But there's something that doesn't fit here at all, maybe Nio has something in mind? Still she's the best character in this show. Can't wait to see how this is gonna finish. |
| I think tokaku wants to see if haru could have survived by her self, other then that why would tokaku turn on her, they had a good relationship going. |
| Question.... why was Tokaku even allowed into the sanctuary anyway? I thought you had to be a part of the highest order to be allowed into that cemetery? How the heck could she just waltz in with a weapon no less? Nio as the game host is fun to watch. I was so sure that she'd pull something in the end, but now it seems like she won't have to. That said, I do believe that the situation between Tokaku and Haru is built upon the fact that neither are capable of actually opening their hearts to the other, thus allowing for any little doubt to actually drive a wedge between them. Tokaku does not believe herself to be controllable by others, and yet to her it seems that Haru's power manifested and "made" her fall under Haru's spell. Whether she did it consciously or unconsciously is besides the point at this time. Tokaku has to figure out her own emotions now, or they will destroy her in the end. Can't wait till next episode! |
