| Suou kicking the pole was the best reaction of the episode. Indeed, good to see the brighter side of Hei back....and Suou acting less like a contractor... So will it turn out to be a loli harem? |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| lmao at last scene, is a cat fight between Yin and Suou going to ensue xD? But man ... Hei with no powers =/ |
| One of the less good episodes yet. That Norio crying scene just felt disturbingly silly. Also, Suou kicked Yin => Suou must die. -.- |
semtex said: I find it weird that Suou "loves" him, I feel she sees him more as a maternal parent than romantic interest. She feels somehow in her heart,unconsciously, the need of some kind of family atmosphere with July, Mao and Hei. Now we need only some proof that it was not Hei who killed her father so she wont kill him in the end (probably wont happen). And yes Yin as well, it's more of the same thing with Suou for Hei. Hei sees her as someone to protect, a part of the old family. Hei, Yin, Mao and Huang. It might be me, but pairings of romance love is kinda off in a show like this, then it might just be me who feels that way. HeiXSuou may be just family or puppy love but HeiXYin... the OVA preview suggests otherwise (some people have posted a link for it several times in this thread). |

| Wow, best episode of the season. YIN!!! Anyways, I'm guessing Norio is eliminated from the story? I mean, his mom is gone and Hei is going to Tokyo so... Also, how come all the lolis like Hei? Only one who is not a loli that likes Hei is Kirihara, lol. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Yin! Yay! and Hei didn't let her die! sad that he couldn't see her specter.... but still! And Hei cooking again :DDD |

It's a short OVA trailer... mrSmiles said: i feel like this season is going by quickly, only six more episodes before its over, anyways as for this episode what i liked most was Suou kicking the light post where Yin's observation ghost appeared from jealousy maybe? im kind of nervous to see what kind of an end they will give us, happy ending? sad ending? open ended? >.< I vote for an open ending, so we couldl have a DtB Season 3 *dreaming* I'm starting to dislike Misaki, she set trap to capture Hei. Why didn't she know that the metal guy could have killed Hei instead? Hm, HeixYin or HeiXSuou is fine, I just don't support HeiXMisaki anymore. |

HeiXSuou may be just family or puppy love but HeiXYin... the OVA preview suggests otherwise (some people have posted a link for it several times in this thread). Perhaps, but I interpret them being more than friends and not lovers. I can see them holding hands and hugging, being together at the beach, but don't family and friends do that? Someone like Yin need a hand to hold so she can cope with the hectic, stressful world? Yin is a doll, though not completely helpless she relies on Hei. And I feel Hei feels the same way, it is hard to explain my thoughts, its more like Hei feels he has an obligation to help her, like Mao, out of kindness (family). I am content with their relationship as it is, them being lovers is kinda out of place. Again I am not denying they are intimate, just not in the romance way most viewers seem to imply. |
| What a fantastic episode. Amazinggggg. Idk why but I kinda have a feeling Misaki is going to die in the end. I hope not. |
| Yin..Yin..Yin!!!! I missed you! Glad your back, and I hope to see Hei get his abilities back. I can't wait to see Yin rescued, and it's awesome that Hei is recovering. Seriously...every time I see Suou, the more attached I get to her. Sweet episode imo. Hei unable to see Yin's observation ghost, because he isn't a contractor anymore? |

EVER I would not forgive them for something like this. It would make season 3 not possible. |

 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| It is getting good with only 6 more eps to go. As all those mentioned above, the "love" between them seems to be like family love, I mean look at what they all went through in S1. Hei even stayed behind with Huang and Yin, his "partners". Add July to that. It's like a "Hell's gate incident survivors group". Heck Hei's the only one left from the heaven's gate event, I really hope Hei gets his contractor powers back, or at least his knife so that he can fight. |

reckoner, forget about your house of cars. | me love radiohead -> art by kaninnvven @ dA |
| Love? Ehhh, as cute as Hei x Yin is I have to agree it feels more platonic than anything. Even so, tch--guess I have to rely on the new manga for my Hei x Kirihara fix. Great episode either way. This whole Suou x Hei x Yin should be interesting. |
| poor norio losing his mom that way, i'm guessing she lost control of her powers because she didn't do her remuneration. i wonder if hei will ever get his powers back? anyone else think suou is jealous of yin's relationship with hei? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Yin is back, and I hope Hei can change now. Get a shave or something. Really felt sorry for the guy's mum in the end. I almost cried :( And I didn't know Hei lost his power because of the Anti-contractor machine thing. Anyway. I really loved the episode and look forward to the other ones! I just can't wait to see Hei and Yin together again. Suou is kind of jealous now I see.. |
x0utmyheart said: PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO it pretty much shows that hei/yin had a "relationship" or something along the lines.... http://www.d-black.net/gallary/pv02.html ALSO, can anyone help me download it, please and thank you? This is a preview of the side story of this season ( it shows how Hei lost Yin). |
I`M A MURDERER |
| YIN IS BACK!!!!!! BANZAI ! BANZAI ! BANZAI ! lol at Suou at the end , jealous much :P |
| (>-.-)> d(>.<)b <(-.-<) |
| Apparently, it does not look like dolls age. So I'm guessing Hei is a pedophile now? o3o Enjoyed the episode overall. |
| Liked the episode overall, what with Hei and Suou getting some character development, and Yin's return, of course. One thing that bugged me was the scene with Norio and his dad at the end; the dialogue worked for a really emotional, moving scene, but the visual of him stuffing his face with the cake and the dad being in half-drag kinda pushed into narm territory for me. As for my two cents on the whole Hei-Yin relationship, I always saw it as a protective older brother to little sister kinda thing. Yes, it was love, but not THAT kind of love. The OVA trailer was neat, liked the guy with the nail shooting power. I always liked the "oh that power's cool and now he's dead" characters. This season may be taking that a bit too far though (I'm looking at you, August 7). |
| Ha-cha! |
LightningRamiel said: As for my two cents on the whole Hei-Yin relationship, I always saw it as a protective older brother to little sister kinda thing. Yes, it was love, but not THAT kind of love. +1 So true. Thank you. I smell jealousy. C'mon Suou, stay away from big bad Hei who slapped you various times. You don't fit. Kicking a lamppole isn't nice. Also, I've always been supporting Hei x Misaki. But I guess it won't turn out like that. Looking so forward to next week. ♥ |
Tell me how it feels, breaking down the old walls. |
| okay just watched it with subs, and here are my thoughts: -Genma is still a transformer -Suou has a severe case of Stockholm syndrome -Hei has traded alcohol for vegtables -Yin likes to show off her new abilities -Mao doesn't care that animals do not eat sugar, or drink tea. But seriously, it was good to see yin. I can't believe that so many people are surprised about Hei and Yin, It's hinted more than enough in the last season. Amber even says it out loud. I still have to get used to squirrel Mao, since I really thought Mao was kick-ass as cat. When he uses his serious voice now, I can't help but laugh. Hei still kicks ass, even though he doesn't have his powers, but I think he needs his powers back ASAP. And I think that Suou kicked Yin because she killed Norio's mother, and Suou is blamed by Norio. I don't think she is really developing feelings for Hei. |
| Good episode, though Yin being able to kill Michiru still puzzles me. Thumbs up for Suou, next get him to get a haircut and a shave :) |

Yes, it was love, but not THAT kind of love. +1 So true. Thank you. I'm hoping that's it too (even though I don't know any actual sibling relationships that are like that). In any case guys in action movies/animes/manga/books/whatever always need something to protect so if that's Yin for Hei that's great. But lolicon harem? Get lost, that's just stupid. If any, I'd vote for Misaki, she's cool ^^. Anyway I don't see it happen in this anime. It would be out of place. I liked the development in this episode, the plot is on the move again. Lot of connections we don't understand yet, (Oreille, weird twins, Misaki, Section 3, CIA?, Yin, Shion...), so plenty of room for a nice complex web of interests and goals hopefully leading up to some unexpected conclusion... Edit: grammar |

| Now I have a big headache to choose between Yin and Suou. I like both of them and it's impossible for me to say which one I'd like to end with Hei. Aahh! My head is aching xP Good thing there will be OVA with lots of Yin, Hei and Amber! I can't wait for this x3 "I wonder what love is...? He called out my name! :3" That was SOOO obvious! The only question is which will Hei choose... And I laughed my guts out when Suou kicked that light post. It's obvious that she will hate (or already hates) Yin. I wouldn't like them fighting because I wouldn't know for which one to cheer. It's sad that these two wonderful female characters can't be friends... |
| Does everyone forget that Kirihara also have a crush on Jin? It's quite obvious which one Hei will chose (Yin <3) wonder how the other two will take it though, could be a real jealous love fight in the end =P Personally I'm more curious as of why Jin is locked up in that box in the first place, and what they are going to use her for. Can't be bait since they specifically lured away Hei from the drop site. Also how did she manipulate the water and killed that boys mother? Probably have something to do why they want her in the first place^^ Very intriguing nonetheless as the plot thickens. Can't wait for the next episode =D |
| Watch the PV of the OVA and then watch this episode, was the best thing I could ask for. |

EternalDreamer said: Also how did she manipulate the water and killed that boys mother?

"dont shoot , dont shoot souo!"-his voice showed how much he cares for Yin , i watched this part like 5 times... So Hei didnt know Yins izanami , glad to hear because i thought he said "i will kill that women" because Yins and anit contractor weapon...URESHI!! Confusion: thought hei lost his power due to suous locket but its because of Yin?? Was imaginig what if to give back heis power Yin has to kiss him , i know it might not happen as DTB is just too awesome to be cheesy but i am greedy when it comes to YIN X HEI Why couldnt hei see Yins ghost but suou could see it , must be cuz of the locket?? Whoever said "heis becoming an ass" in this season"---ha ha *pointing at you people*, Hei has always been a good guy and will always be..well "suou dont shoot , doenst suit you" seems pretty nice to me.. So hei will go back to his hot self again ..YAY!!!! Suous jelousy was cute . Misaki gets on my nerves sometimes , enough with the questions lady , she asks too many of them , in the first season she was more irritating... |

MRLX69 said: Y Chimasternmay said: Yin is back How old is Yin and how old is Suou? This show is getting slightly.... ¬_¬ Suou is 13... and yeah Hei x Suou thing is disgusting and stupid... but Yin is about 20 and Hei is about 24 now so, I think, that Yin x Hei love relationship could work... |
| Yin!! Also great to see Hei turn the corner. Still so many questions. A very nice episode that flew by in an instant. The week long wait will be a little agonizing. :( |
 |
| Btw, who is Izanagi? Another machine or is it Hei? |
| Well that's a warm and caring mother, eh? Oh well at least she baked a cake : D Now then over to Hei, and .. it's a trap! D: And that guy who absorbs stuff has a great personality xD And he got owned lol. And.. no way, it's.. Yin!: O Yin, Yin, Yin~ ヽ(´ｰ｀)ﾉ Now it's surprisingly little to say about this episode, except for Yin~ (◔ ◡ ◔) And I still wonder when (if? : S) Hei'll get his powers back? D: Oh and another thing, Norio is annoying D: Yin~ ٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶ And.. Hei obviously can't see Yin's observation gjost, because he's currently not a contractor.. I'm finding this terribly sad ಠ_ಠ Oh and while I'm at it huznme said: Btw, who is Izanagi? Another machine or is it Hei? Wat, what'cha on about? Izanagi is the codename (most certainly) that those guys use for Yin, apparantly Yin~ |

Charliehsv said: Srsly.Also it was interesting to see how Suou kicked the lamppole after Yin hugged Hei. Is she developing feelings for him and getting jealous of Hei? Don't get in the way of my Hei x Yin though! >< Not a bad episode. The whole Hei x Suou thing is... D: I'm glad to see Yin back, and very curious about what she's doing. It appears that the person Hei said he would kill back in episode 3(?) really was Yin. Why'd she kill Norio's mom, and why did Hei hate her back then? Hmm... Mao is awesome. I just found the way he was lying down on the table watching TV in his comical squirrel body and scratching his back hilarious. I have no idea why. |

| This show only gets better and better with every episode I see...nice. I took quite a liking to Heibo, but it will be nice as well to see him turn back to normal. I am sure he will regain his abilities somehow... ^^ |

He said something about killing "her", and I'm quite sure it's not Yin he's hinting at O.o I mean lol if he would've wanted Yin dead, he wouldn't have stopped Suou from firing the container, right? |

| Great episode, I'm starting to like this season better than the previous one. I just hope the romance thing doesn't develop too much, I don't think that tag fits DtB. |
| Pretty good episode. Things are definitely getting rolling. Could have done w/o all the tranny tears there at the end though lol |
