THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
WELL. Before I begin, I don't think I need to mention that this will be containing spoilers?

Click here for the RAW.

I know most people were probably really excited to see Hei's appetite come back, as he ordered plate after plate of food while on the train talking to that Russian dude. Plotwise, I have no idea what happened since no subs lol, but I'm kind of glad Hei is going his separate way from Suou. :B Those two are so awkward together to me. I honestly don't sense any of this so-called "chemistry" between them.

EDIT: My mistake, Shion shot Tanya lmao. You go, boy.

Thoughts?

I did appreciate near the end when she shot and killed Tanya. At first, I thought she was gonna pussy out like she always does, but I was pleasantly surprised when she fired her rifle (albeit accidentally).

I myself will have to wait until the subs to come out tomorrow to fully understand everything that happened in this episode. But if somebody could tell me now, that would be nice... 8)

OH SNAP. Lol, my bad, totally did not put two-and-two together there. I was wondering why he had his own gun lmao.
In that case, Suou remains a whiny wimp in my mind. 8)



Oh yeah, and next week is the return of pink girl Kiko and Gai Kurosawa. :B Can this 12-episode series really afford a filler episode? ==;

Excellent episode! The OST was put in perfectly to me ears! It was a great joy! The begining was great because of the past of Tanya/Suou in the swiming pool, which reminds is the fan service week of bikinis...three episodes of different series did it already. I prefer Tanya's big breasts over Suou's loli body but in the end like Suou better because of her personality. I swear that Hei was getting his powers back....him eating so much was just like season one when he was talking with that Russian commander and Hei looking at the power lines.....:( dissapointed it did not happen in this episode yet. Tanya's powers were seen as improved (she used the bugs to see who is the person before seeing them because bugs felt July's face/bugs to stop the drain and terridy people) Her bugs were well shown so quality was better in this episode than before? Hei killing that Russian commander was great! :D Another nice killing and the fork part was great too! That hug of Suou with Tanya was so heart warming and for some time Tanya almost was back to normal.....too bad she got brainwashed too hard. I did not understand the voice record with Kirihara and what was that girl in the pool death about? Does Shion now revive people and can copy skills? It looked like he copied Suou power! Mao was funny in this episode. Worst part was Tanya dead and I hate Shion for doing that! Wish she would have been with Suou/Hei/Mao/July team...because of that I making a graveyard blog of all anime characters dead=> Tanya R.I.P. with Nika. This death ruined all that great hug here....that was a good start to Tanya getting along with Suou now all ruined by her being dead! :( I am sad by this
Was it me or there was much more detail in Suou naked body?....I almost saw her (you know women's thing) in detail here: NFSW=>http://www.imagebam.com/image/00ee0b57693989 http://www.imagebam.com/image/adbbb357693991 It was more tempting in the loli field.

To me it was part sad/ part happy. Sad because no more Tanya and she did not join Hei's team but happy because at least she can be reunited with Nika/rest with him. The memory of the past did have more of a effect on me but the music made it more effective.

I sense that too in this episode but there was such a great chemistry between Suou and Tanya in the beinning Hei's appetite made me think his powers would come back but it did not which was a *sight*.

Wrong! Shion killed her! I hate Shion now more....Tanya could have still recovered from her brainwashing.

You know what happened, Madame Oreille hot body shown in detail was something to like for guys but lots of development is all I can say, Tanya's death was a half T_T and half R.I.P. because she killed Nika but she did mention she remembers liking Nika and killing him that I think I understood well....maybe. I also felt bad that Suou got punched badly...you can make a woman sterile like that....yes? Hei also looked like he has less of beard and more Hei first season expressions.

I am actually glad that Tanya died just so they won't be turning this into some cheesy, ~friendship~ thing. If Tanya did recover from her "brainwashing" and they showed those kinds of scene, i would have headdesk'd so hard.

I wouldn't say that it's because I hated her and wanted her dead, but more like I had no opinion about her character and think that what they did in this episode was for the better. 8)

well, I still think the score for the first season was absolutely amazing, and I don't really like the techno music of this season. But the music that was played when Hei ordered that enormous amount of food was good. Kind of reminded me of the music from the first season.

can't really say much about this episode, cause I didn't get a word, and there were a lot of words :P

Hei going on 'typical shounen character eating lots of food' spree and retrospection pointing towards dead of Tanya, how original. Regarding the music, it's worse than s1.

I liked the techno beats in the beginning but it's getting old pretty quick, not to mention pace is sluggish after the first episode.

And yet another undeveloped character bites the dust. Also, sailor moon'esque transformation is getting funnier to watch every episode.

Don't mind his S02 look (except for the beard), but i'll be glad if my eyes didn't fail me and the old Hei's look is back ^_^. I have a feeling next ep. is gonna be awesome. I hope. It's true there's no place for Kurasawa and the pink-haired girl, but BONES might manage to make it both awesome and funny.

Same feelings here, just wished with all these hints Hei's power was to come back! Guess not but once again the eating, the look on the power lines and his looks point out old Hei coming back so I can't wait!

Same wish here, that hug was the best proof I could give with the time she had her eyes here
until that (insert the worst insult here) guy called her on the ear phone and she came back to being brainwashed. At least she is with Nika somewhere in the afterworld...

Decent episode I guess. Good to finally see some references to the story from the first season (Misaki with that recorder) and they're bringing back that detective, meaning that there'll probably be some more pointless time wasting comic relief, but since there's only 4 episodes left... I wish the story was more fast-paced... it feels slow compared to the first season.. and I hope thats the old Hei with short hair that I saw in the preview.

I have quite a few mixed feelings about this episode. On one hand Hei went back to his ultra eating of food =D haha, but on the other hand... The whole Tanya thing I didn't really like >_<

Also, I was wondering if anyone knew where Misaki's recorder was from? It sounded sooooooo familiar but I just can't pin it to anything atm! Also who's voice was that at the end when she sped through it??

Does Tanya control roaches or does she create them from thin air? If it's the former case, then that's one dirty city and train.

Anyway Suou proves again that she's useless in this show beside giving us sailor moon transformation sequences. Good to see Hei's appetite back though. I almost felt compassion for that Russian dude too when he got killed, at least he died without regrets.

With only 4 episodes left I have no idea how they're gonna wrap this up. And I still want to see Yin for real. -.- (But I guess I'll have to wait for the OVAs instead)

I think it was in DtB's last episode, when her director was revealing everything to her (about the Syndicate and all) after failing to destroy all contractors with that canon (or whatever it is).

I'm wondering that myself. We don't have much episodes to waste. Hope there is a good reason.

Anyway does Shion have the same ability as Suou or did he just use a similar gun? But my biggest question is how the hell did he knew that they would end up there so he can sit with a gun? The train could have stop sooner or later if Hei reacted a minute earlier or later and Suou could have run to a completely different direction.

Hei ordered half the food on the train. Now pay the bill you annoying Russian, that will teach you not to ambush me next time.
Still have no idea what that blond lady is all about and Yin can kill contractors with there own powers. Should i expect that this strange power up of Yin will be explained in the OVA's on the DVD?

Bug girl is dead and am happy. I hate bugs. Cockroaches? That's the most disgusting thing ever. You were a nice girl as a human but completely disgusting as a contractor. Stay dead.
Did Hei really not realized that Suou didn't shoot, or is he playing with her head?

Shat myself when I realized that Suou didn't actually shoot and it was Shion. That sneaky little glass-eyed bastard. Both deaths were pretty depressing this episode, and I'm not caring for the return of the moron detective duo.

At least the trailer for next episode involved some Hei rescuing Suou from Hazuki, meaning there'll be a bit of action to look forward to while we wade through the detective bits next ep.

The trailer has sparked a bit of discourse in me, though. We're past halfway through the series and we have more questions than we know what to do with, yet they're throwing in the detectives?? I'm beginning to doubt whether DTB's writers are even awake when they're coming up with this.

I really hope those two are plot crucial somehow. Either that, or the writers are really trying their best to introduce as much vague material while inadvertently avoiding explaining all of it.

Furthermore; this season still needs more zapping. Hei should just ask someone to jump him with their car battery already.

Looks like Hei will be off screen for a while, then reappearing to save someone's ass (Suou). Which i think Hei saves her from that lady that can turn a wooden SHinai into a Lightsaber XDD (Forgot her name)
Anyways..That ANNOYING pink-haired girl and that shitty detective is back...
I think guys (and girls) we should prepare for one of the worst episodes of season 2 coming up >_<

I'm sure everyone agrees: We all miss Hei's Power T___T He still owns without powers...but not as AWESOME as his original power ^_^w0000t

Till then...I have to survive another week of school to see the next episode (sigh)
