0neoc said: Good episode. I liked the action part with Hei, he still owns without his powers. I found it a little short though T.T and there's only 5 episodes left ... There still that power of Hei missing but the action is great! OftheFlesh said: I did laugh at July when he was in the casket XD Yeah me too. |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Suou was extra cute in this episode. July also contributing with his limited responses for some good humor. When Suou was stabbing the lady I was like, "FUCK!!". That dude with the glasses looked a lot like Vash from Trigun. Once again, this episode proves, Hei can be as bad-ass as a ninja without his power. I wonder if there will be a contractor with the power to divide by zero. |
| Suou is school uniform was nice, just as expected. What I didn't like tough was the fact that the contractor at the end died WAAAAY to quickly. They create such tension around him that you would expect at least two episodes with him as a villain. Ah well, the consequence of this being a 3-months series I guess... |
 |
| Wehoo things are getting interesting right off the bat in this episode : D Followed by the ever so awesome OP : D And now then, before really getting started on this ep, I want moar Yin. Izanagi.. Izanami.. Oh lol they just had to use names that sound similar didn't they? Ahahah~ That's Hei?: D Harr harr harr he looks hilarious, I just can't take him seriously with that beard and haircut xD Oh and some more Tanya, seems as if she's gonna be in this some more then. Also, Ilya Sokoloff, damn cool guy xD. Although that's one heck of a scary power O.o And lol he's driving a Volvo xD But.. he's dead lol O.O Secret Agent Suou, with a killing intent : D That actually pretty cool. "So this squirrel is a contractor too?" "A squirrel? I'm a cat! Well, right now I'm..." I lol'd And July's "Ow" near the end was somehow great xD Anyways episode needed more Yin, gief nao plox D: |

| I'm not feeling this episode and I'm not sure why. It might have something to do with it feeling slightly filler-ish, most characters introduced this episode were either killed off or won't be re-appearing. Mao is acting less and less like what he was in season one, based of my memory, but either way I still think it would be better if he stayed dead. And seeing that it's only 5 episodes left, second season is not escalating as much as I hoped and anticipated. Still, don't get the wrong idea, it's still a very enjoyable show, but some think that criticizing is impossible if you like the show. |

I have a feeling that the end to this season will fall below everybody's expectations, but here's to hoping that i'm wrong. |

| Didn't like this episode that much... the 1st half was dull, trying to add a bit more info on all Izanami/Izanagi Conspiracy. It looked a way too long to me and boring. It's episode No.7 out of 12, so using so much screen time on this is unforgivable. The second half is better and has some Suou and Hei's action — something we all long for, I think. Though, I would love more action from both :) |
 |
| I hate how they keep introducing new characters and kill them off so fast. What's the point in having so many deaths in the show when nobody even cares about the characters who die? But I loved the scene with Mao plastered to the window:  XD |
     |
| Oh ho. Hei looks rather dapper with a full beard and glasses. I think he should stick with that look for a while, although Hobo-Hei is just as amusing. Also, I find it interesting how Suou's getting more... lively, I suppose. She was rather bland after becoming a contractor, now she's starting to act a bit more humanlike, although she's still pretty ruthless. She would've killed that chick if Mao didn't cut in. ALSO! "You should thank July." Says Hei. Does that mean that July sent an observation ghost to Hei, and Hei saw it allowing him to find them? In turn, does that mean his contractor power is starting to rekindle itself? I SURE HOPE SO. THIS SEASON REQUIRES MORE ZAPPY. |

JonathanDC said: ALSO! "You should thank July." Says Hei. Does that mean that July sent an observation ghost to Hei, and Hei saw it allowing him to find them? Yes he did and he did the same thing to Suou to find him. The question is how did he do it because I did not see him with any glass next to him.... |

I sure hope you're right : D Although I'm saddened at the fact that I didn't think about it more than "Huh how'd July help him?" and then I just went on with the rest : o francismeunier said: Ariana said: I hate how they keep introducing new characters and kill them off so fast.

Well that was pretty obvious wasn't it? Or well he could've actually taped him up anywhere really, but I think the window probably made it more fun than .. let's say for example the instrument panel : p |

| I enjoyed the episode. Hei with a beard? Awesome. At first, I didn't even recognize him. Also, Mao is hilarious. Taped down at the window? Ha. Still don't like Suou, although she gained some points this ep. Oh yes, and July power! I love this little guy! I hope next week will be a nice bitchfight between Tanya and Suou. That'll be fun ♥ |
Tell me how it feels, breaking down the old walls. |

| Ahh, it was a brilliant episode. I really enjoyed it, even though there was no Yin at all. Glass shards throwing moment was awesome, and Hei pwning that psycho contractor was awesome as well. Also, a new OTP to fangirl for~ I ship July/Suou now. I still hope that we'll get Hei/Yin ending though. =^= |
Osran said: Anyways episode needed more Yin More Yin , they should have showed Atleast a little of Yin maybe her hand or hair , but they didnt show anything...:( JonathanDC said: now she's starting to act a bit more humanlike, although she's still pretty ruthless. She would've killed that chick if Mao didn't cut in. you know this is one of the best features of DTB , just because Hei told suou "shooting doenst suit you" , they didnt make her later character flowery , in reference to : while suou was shooting the glass pieces at her , for a split second she lost virtually all connections to the environment and herself and only had the killing instinct.. francismeunier said: JonathanDC said: ALSO!

The question is how did he do it because I did not see him with any glass next to him.... I dont think Heis power came back , even though this is what we want..Hei told that to suou i guess because July's observational ghost on the front glass of the car blocked the wierd contrators view , leading to the car to crash..,hence leading hei to kill the due..and blah blah It is just me or does Hei look good in all disguises..:) So sokoloff dude was a serial women killer before he was a contractor, creepy man, he was sktching the places on the body he would cut through..*eeh shivers*.So 5 more eps to go..why?? *depressed* |
 |
| Awesome episode. I didn't know Suou was good in knifes as well, atleast we didn't see the magical rifle coming out of her (naked) body thing, this time. |
| Usually subs help to understand but somethings are still not clear. In the begining with Genma...he mentions observation ghosts and power lines....did he mean that the organization has a observation ghost that can use power lines as a medium? Izanagi is Shion or they meant Suou/Shion. Oh great so now Hei's group has three organization after him, though the public safety was with him.... Why did the guy mention Ikita's girl and Mina denied it? The guy Ilya Sokoloff does his power use the brain's chemicals to stop breathing and kill the person or puts them in a dream where they die of being too scared like their mouths open with saliva suggest? Also is it me or a lot know about the Syndicate in this episode...Anyone can help me answer these questions (looking for you noteDhero) it would be appreciated to understand this episode better. Linalee-Stratos said: It is just me or does Hei look good in all disguises..:) So sokoloff dude was a serial women killer before he was a contractor, creepy man, he was sktching the places on the body he would cut through Is that not his remuneration? I though it was because he killed that guy in the bathroom (terrible way to die BTW) so he had to pay his powers. It is a sick remuneration, yeah I feel bad for you Linalee-Stratos you had to put up with a women killer like him in this episode....guess he used his powers to kill women before he was recuited. Traveller said: atleast we didn't see the magical rifle coming out of her (naked) body thing, this time. Yes, thank you God, it was getting repetitive a lot. Some people really hated that like my friend vinesage, I just roll up my eyes or look away, it is pointless for me to drool on that. Maybe as 13/12 year old but I am past that age. DESU_USED said: oh and i bet that the yin fans are sad that she didn't appear in the episode :P Yes and it is more D: something like this as expression. We want Yin x Hei and last episode was a good start but it did not continue. Good that Izanami was mentioned a little but not enough. |

| : > Brb gonna take a screencap from an old episode : D Just remembered the first season is on the other external .... so never mind. francismeunier said: Usually subs help to understand but somethings are still not clear. In the begining with Genma...he mentions observation ghosts and power lines....did he mean that the organization has a observation ghost that can use power lines as a medium? The dolls in the observatory (in season 1) used powerlines to observe stuff, which was shown the most in the episode with the singing contractor and the one who could absorb observation ghosts. For further clarification, it's the episode where Yin meets her piano teacher who tries to convince her to go back to Finland with him. francismeunier said: The guy Ilya Sokoloff does his power use the brain's chemicals to stop breathing and kill the person or puts them in a dream where they die of being too scared like their mouths open with saliva suggest? More like paralyzes certain parts in the brain, making the autonomus functions like breathing and such cease. And that's also the reason for the saliva, since there isn't anything (like muscles in your mouth) to keep it in. |

| Hei is now killing with of all those ways & skills he used to utilize before he got this electricity contract! |
| nice episode, had the feeling of the 1st season. Another random contractor came and went in less than ten minutes. The fanservice is still strong with this one, now it's July's turn which i'm not sure if it is better or worse than the standard fare. Also, no Yin, just when the last episode did so well in that regard... |
| Great episode. I loved all of the development. That dude was creepy so I'm glad Hei killed him. -_- |
| Another great episode. |
 |
Suou: Why are you so cold-hearted towards July? Hei: He's just a doll. Suou: (recalling flashback) But at that time, for Yin, you were so -- Hei: SHUT UP. YES. /SCREAMS. |
| Suou went crazy on that woman. |

XDD hahah AGREE :P *screams with you* XDD another great episode....Hei owned that sicko of a contractor....lots of development in this ep..but a lot of things are going to unravel soon as we past the halfway point of the series!!! BTW Suou and July kicked ass in this ep ^_^ OMG that Russian guy on the train in the end planned this DIDN'T HE!!?!?! >_< Time for Hei and Suou to kick some ASS |
| I like Suou a whole lot more after that episode. Pretty funny ending, too. |
  |
| Ack, I could barely believe that was Hei. He looked so different. Even July looked pretty weird with dark hair. I wonder if Hei knows he didn't really kill the father. |
 ジリティック♡BEGINNER |
| One of Russia's best contractors pwned with just a wire. Never UNDERESTIMATE the BLACK REAPER So, what now? Is that Russian guy gonna ask Hei to co-operate with him to find Shion. I mean, the guy wants to find Shion to know about the secret project they were working on, while Suou just wants to find him. |
| Hmm, nice episode. Sou's father is not dead, what are they up to then?? Really getting interesting now. The episode was good, realy development in Sou and July's relationship, I found the bit where she pinched it had that element of care and cuteness about it. I really like Sou, initialy I thought she was going to be a demsel in distress character, my superficial thinking getting the better of me eh. Next week looks better. X-) |
adamantine said: I wonder if Hei knows he didn't really kill the father. I wouldn't be surprised if Hei does indeed know, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a surprise when he sees they guy alive aither : p As many have stated before, the unpredictability every now and then is one of the strong points in DtB : > |

He ignored Mao outright and said that line to Suou. Maybe it's just my mislead hope, but it'd only make sense due to that context that somehow July used his observation specter to lead Hei to them. I mean, how else would he have managed? Sokoloff was an outside party from the informant who gave Hei the tip on how to smuggle the doll through the roadblock, so the informant couldn't have given Hei the info. If that line of thinking is correct, it seems strong that he's starting to see specters again. Meaning (hopefully) his powers might just be starting to return. Slowly, at least. He may have to learn how to crawl before he can walk, walk before he can run again, etc. As for how July was able to send out a specter without us seeing what he was using to send it, it's very possible that he had a small shard of glass in his hand the entire time. A shard would be small enough to not be shown or found, so that may be an explanation... although next episode will have to answer those questions. I can only hopefully speculate. :P |
| |
| suou went a little evil there with the glass, and it seems july does care about her a little, he did bring hei to the rescue |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Hei twisted the guy's neck real good. |

| Not bad, but felt like a bit of a filler. Got a little story development, but next to nothing from the characters and the blonde hair guy wasn't nearly scary enough. Also lacking Kirihara. Needs more! |
 |
Ariana said: IDD, laughed so hard when I noticed that xDBut I loved the scene with Mao plastered to the window: XD Any way, Hei looked way mature and wicked in that beard, he seriously should consider growing a real one to go with his new looks :P Nice to see that Suou aint a complete failure and actually posses some logic and have will to kill, she definitely moved up a few places in my book :) |
Izanagi.. Izanami.. Oh lol they just had to use names that sound similar didn't they? Izanagi and Izanami are figures from a Japanese myth. It's got nothing to do with "sounding similar." |
| That ended surprisingly fast, felt like a ten minute episode. Suou throwing the glass at that woman looked painful. I liked Hei's fight scene, he showed some nice moves. Well, he always does I guess. Not that much plot development this episode, except for the fact that Suou's dad seems to be alive somehow ;? |
 |
| Good action in the episode. I think I should watch a series without murders right now... (I just read too much Eden and MPD Psycho) |
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? |
| Alright! So just to clarify a few things at this point... please correct me if I'm wrong, though, because I don't want to go confusing myself either lol. In Episode 2, Hei was talking to some Russian dude and said that the professor was dead when he already got there. So that means he knows that he didn't kill him. And in this episode, revealing Papa Pavlichenko to actually be alive, the one that was dead was perhaps a doll? (I don't know if they mentioned that in the episode, but I kind of feel that they did...) As we saw from Chiaki from Season 1, dolls can be programmed to behave exactly like an individual, even holding their memories, until the time is right. Perhaps Papa Pavlichenko foresaw these events and took this precaution. |
