----------------------------------------
The past story seem to go on for a while^^ Blade looks kinda cool when he was young, Eve seems to be close to him considering that they knew each other at that time :D I don't blame Arclight for running rampage and killing everyone in the lab seeing that they were the ones who threw him away in the first place.

Has no one subbed this episode yet? I have yet to see it show up.
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence...”

Talk about Dramatic! Great we finally know more about the story!
Good episode. Seems were done with the past for now too.

LoL!

Trip 666 heh? So...I'm wondering what happened to "The Second". Is he still somewhere inside of Arclight? Because I can't quit image him just being swallowed and disappearing. He's suppose to be like...a God...the strongest ever, able to do ANYTHING, and the ORIGINAL. Maybe Arclight will have split personality's? lol

I hate to say that, but little Blade is cute too.

Otherwise, yay for the end of this flashback arc.

upd: oh right, forgot to mention it, but the pre-explosion scene kinda reminded me of Akira.

Ahahahahahah. Good episode overall but I laughed good at that line. Too bad we only have 3 to go, they could have done a lot more with this series.

Good to see that Eve has always been the same. Adam Blade = Ishida :P

But I also got some serious Akira vibes during the last part, which was kinda freaky but still nice.
Pantyshots are a different matter entirely

I liked little Blade and Eve :D
And yet another cliffhanger :(
Very good episode, quite different from the mindless action filled episodes that came before, it was pretty touching seeing Gido, Blade and Eve like a "family"

Wow what a great episode. Little Eve is such a doll. It seems like Blade changed a lot compared to her xD;
I agree I liked the family vibe at the end of the flash back. It was quite touching. I also liked how they used the first OP song as back ground music for after the explosion and we see Eve shielded them. It was beautiful. I really miss that song T.T

I wonder if the same thing that makes Eve have bad memory also impaired her growth. lol.

It's strange that they dumped Arclight as a child about the same size as blade but he came back quite a bit bigger than Blade

Eve haven't changed a bit at all, and Blade is awesome. The next episode seems to have no flashback, so it's good because there's three episodes left.

That could be a result of the concentration of Eden Seeds they put in Arclight that also resulted in him getting the Positive Feedback Zero. Just speculating, I'm no scientist.

Really good episode. Kinda wonder how Blade turned from such a respectable young man into the lolicon he is now though. Here's to more backstory!

That might also explain why Arclight's body is breaking down while Blade's body seems to be totally fine - Arclight probably ages faster.

And I was right that Eve was meant to be Blade's lover. I wonder if either of them has any knowledge about this.

Wow this episode was unexpectedly cute with them holding hands at the end...

I hope Cruz gets a real power soon instead of his power of "super thinking"...

lol may seem out of place but why is it that Cruz can figure things out faster than disc?! Why? lol but ya interesting flashback. It answered a lot of my questions of why and how things came to be. I hope they bring back Cruz's sister for some real closure... I mean Cruz talked about his sister every episode before they ended the fight with her and nothing really happened between Cruz and the Sister... No remorse... nothing...

LOL... I just noticed after this episode of the main characters name... Adam and Eve... Eve was made so Adam could pass down his genes... Well I was never really a fan of Blade and Eve being together until this episode.

I think that's due to the fact that Disc isn't human, but a cyborg and as a result, bound by the data that is stored within her brain/CPU/memory/whatever you wanna call it. Her Scan ability is useful, but if the information she seeks is hidden, encrypted or simply non-existent (because it got lost and no one knows where to find it), it can take a long time - if ever - for her to extract the data she requires. And if she doesn't have the data, she can't use it either.

A human brain is pretty much limitless. Even if certain pieces seem to be missing, it can find ways to come up with an answer. However, where a robot will just sit back and do nothing, a human can come up with an incorrect answer, making matters worse and depending on the situation, that can be even more dangerous than just doing nothing.

WOW that episode reminded me of evangelion. A LOT! (the intruding scene, the "impact", the look of eve's doppelganger's shield, The second's body in basement.. and the fusion of second's body + archlight among other things)
btw... Archlight's story is kinda sad :(

The lab got fucked up. Shouldn't have "disposed of" the failures without making sure they're actually dead first, especially when they're that powerful.
