Great development awesome episode in general! Making Mao return was a right choose imo even if it's not in the neko appearance his new host is also quite nice!

Suou being awakened was quite nice her skill seems rather epic! I wonder when they'll introduce those blonde twins!

The epilogue was quite surprising, what intention does Hei has to kill Yin?

Great episode lets see what happens next!

great episode and I feel so stupid I have seen half of gaiden already I got no idea why he want to kill yin but I can guess since I have seen some parts of gaiden already if only I saw the release dates earlier this season would be more epic I think with out knowing something from gaiden.

Suou deserved that slap from Hei. She doesn't know the first thing about him and is trying to stereotype him as a contractor. He would never kill the people he loves and doesn't always put his safety first like most other contractors do. This girl pisses me off. Well sucks for her because she's a contractor now too. And when that huge gun thing came out of her necklace, it felt like a mahou shoujo moment...yeah it's cool and all that she has a huge gun and has perfect aim with the help of July, but I'm not really sold by her power.

Anyways, I love how Hei wasn't even fazed when he realized that he couldn't use his powers :) And July is on the team now.

This getting really good! I'm actually glad I watched Gaiden first, because if I didn't, I would be so damn confused right now. At least now I have an idea.

Why would anyone not watch Gaiden first? Nevermind I just remembered it's the OVA, yeah that is a must see before this. I feel sorry for those who didn't see it before this.

And wow, this episode was awesome. I love snipers :D.

Mao being naked and Hei on top of her was way off the radar for me, its almost as if Hei is potrayed as a Hentai in that bit.
Well Hei looks like pedophile even more than in previous episode

Wow, for me they were trying to convey exactly the oposite.

Hei reacted when he sensed somebody aproaching him after he was knocked unconscious in battle. He was unfazed to discover the naked girl under him, and quickly immobilized her as he should. That is professionalism, and just shows how he isn't in the least attracted by her.

I can't wait to see how Hei will get Yin back(if that is going to happen) without his sister's powers .

Agreed. I'm a few years late to the series, so Gaiden was already out. From the forums, alot of people agreed that if Gaiden had come out first then the series would rank better. so far i'm actually enjoying it now that i'm not confused out of my mind.

Tanya is too sexy to be a middle schooler wtf, and I can't believe she killed Nika. Poor dude.
So, Mao is still alive, huh. That is one long ass weapon :O
Misaki was exiled...that sucks.

I think he meant the onna who probably got Yin killed or something. Pretty sure that Yin is still alive.

So in the end Suou became the very thing she hated, a contractor. At least her obeisance isn't too bad.

I'm glad we got Mao and Misaki back, now all we need is Yin.

It's sucks that Hei doesn't have his powers anymore, imma be pissed if we have to see him like that for the remainder of the series.

Nika's death was just brutal.

Hei lost his powers, and Suou gained some. So Mao is now in the squirrel, but that was kitty Mao that was killed....kitty violence is terrible.

And WTF happened to Yin?

Yes! Mao is alive! Woohooo! I'll miss the black cat body but, he's alive!
So, Suou contract is a big ass sniper rifle, wow wow... that's new.
I assume Hei's powers got captured inside of the fragment meteor since his star did fade away instead of falling. But now, really, what happened with Yin? Not Even Mao knows and Hei saying he will kill her... Dude, stop drinking your problems away! >_<

This episode had a lot of violence and deaths! A lot of free violence I must say.
Amazing episode in any case.

Whoooa, did Nika seriously got eaten alive by some insects?! God worst death ever confirmed T^T But why was he even following Tanya after what she's done to him, normal guy would be scared away, sigh.

So glad that Mao is back, even if not in his cat form! Plus, July is a new teammate, that's unexpected huh. Why was he even in the first series again?

Magical weapon was kind of weeeird, but oh welp. I wonder if Suo's personality's gonna change now as well?

whaaat? Hei wants to kill Yin? maybe I actually should watch the OVA. That aside I'm kinda sad he lost his powers :( He had the best one after all. Hope he gets it back but I suppose that won't happen at all or at least not until they realize what the stone is Suou has.

That was a bit rough. I will say watching the OVAs before the Gemini was the good move for me when it came to understanding and taking Hei's character change a lot better compared to how I felt before, but the way Suou awakened her Contractor Powers felt comically out of place compared to the nature of the show and its tone, for a sec I thought this was a Shounen Jump anime. The episode as a whole felt pretty boring for me but now that they're going to Japan, let's see what the show has in store. Good music for the episode although I'm still not a fan of how the seasons changed the identity and styles of the music completely from jazz to techno.

Plus, don't like how the show just shows the same flashback frame of Yin over and over and over again to try and be suspenful and ambiguous, kind of gets annoying after some time.

She's a bit annoying with all her screaming. Her getting that gun also seemed silly to me. Contractors are bound to kill, making Hei not do it is only going to exacerbate the situation.

Being able to materialize weapons is pretty badass, depending on how it's used. Origami is a pretty small price to pay, relative to the power.

July joins Hei and Co, which is pretty cool. Misaki looks as fine as ever and is was demoted from her previous position. Looks like she'll be joining Section 3 to try and get closer to Hei.

OMG WAIT, so many things happened.
Nika died, sadly Tanya didn't die, Suou became a contractor? Don't tell me all her emotions are gone as well, I hate this. Also MAOOOO. Don't know how to feel about that and what happened between Yin and Hei?!?! Can't wait to watch those 4 episodes. Now, to see where this season will go.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

Damn, this episode. Mao is alive, you love to see it. Hei might've turned angsty after whatever happened with/to Yin. And who's the MC, Hei or Suou? Hei now partnering up with the MI6 kid (July)? Kirihara still being a stalker?

Really interesting. It gets you hooked.

Nailed!!!! I said this Pav something chick would become a contractor!!! Sh!t I'm becoming way too good at this sh!t (detecting things before hand!).

Also insert compulsory ped0 reference. Yeah that "comment" made by that contractor that can control steel/concrete, forgot his name. The comment about he falling "for that Prince" The Pav something chick brother, he's still believe she's a boy. 

And now one of the most mysterious characters of the first show, that creepy af little boy July will also be part of the team?! Well at least for a while.
Me every time I hear the word "reparations": 🤣🤣🤣

I meet your compulsory with impulsory - Loli daisuki heheh... Those goth twins man, oof, I am having flashbacks to Black Lagoon's twins (scary af but still hnnnggg)...

MAO IS ALIVE! Had me going man... I am glad he's okay.

Anybody notice the SS badge on Tonya's sleeve? When she was across the street from Nika I saw it and wondered if it was a direct reference or just a different meaning.

Edit: almost forgot! The girl's ridiculous screaming reminded me of the beginning of ET 2 by Filthy Frank lmao.
