| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Alright, after finishing this awesome series and being blown away, I have one major grievance point: WHAT ON EARTH WAS GOING ON IN THIS EPISOIDE?! Who was the Chidori clone? What purpose did she serve? What the hell? Agh! What happened! That episode was such a mindfuck! Any explanations around here? |
| <3 |
| Oh! You mean that bit*h? Oh, she just look like Kaname. Not a clone. And if you've watch FMP from ep7, you'll understand why is Sagara going on EMO.. lol! That's it, he's EMO! LOL! |
     |
| Sousuke was going through his depressing stage, what better way for it to hit him than a chick that looks exactly like the source of all his troublesome thoughts and emotion? I liked how she even acts like the real Chidori. This is the first time they explained Kashim right? Interesting. What a badass :D A 7 yr old assassin failed to eliminate his target who was known to be another badass as well. Cool. |
   |
| Boring episode.... |
 |
| The chidori whore was interesting I really liked the dialogue |

 ugh. i chose the worst time to start eating dinner. |
| Good episode and the Chidori look alike had a definite purpose. It highlights how he feels about her and, after this episode, it's obviously in a romantic sense. |

| Cool ep, but it's time for Sousuke to be a badass again. |
     |
| I lol'd at Sousuke drinking scotch. |
| He's walking around all depressed carrying a bottle of scotch, he's officially a bum. |
 |
| Well who knew prostitutes know foreign languages. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

The Chidori clone sort of represents a perversion of his desires, if that makes any sense. Sorry if my explanation doesn't really help, but the point is that Sousuke is feeling very confused about himself, and kinda vulnerable too, so he doesn't know how to deal with his feelings. The perfect escape could be to let out his desires on someone who seems like Chidori, but he rejects this and his other escape (that bottle of scotch). So basically this episode was about him accepting his feelings and, umm, not straying to the dark side... |

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
Confucius said: Well who knew prostitutes know foreign languages. Capable of having a nice conversation too haha. |
| So Sousuke was an assassin even at 7 years old. Wow. |
 |
| Well I think this episode had its purpose, although it was poorly executed. That's not saying much though, since every single episode so far has been very, very good. I can only expect good things for the last 2 episodes since there's quite a lot to be warped up, and I hope it'll be nicely done. |
 |
Confucius said: Well who knew prostitutes know foreign languages. I LOL'd. It was funny, because as soon as he grabbed the scotch I was like... "Ooooohhhh... he's gettin' all naughty. What's next... hookers? haha" ::enter Chidori-ho:: "Well damn." |
  |
| Sousuke's man like myself, we can't understand alkoholics. No offence if you are one. |

| Man I wonder how all this is going to wrap up. Coming close to the end. :( |
 |
| I feel like I'm in the minority saying this, but this episode pissed me off. Really, it started in the last episode, but I lost respect for Souske when he abandoned his duties and couldn't do his job. Watching him mope around without any regard for his safety was rather pathetic. I know he's only 17, but I find it hard to believe that someone who has seen as much war as he has could be so recklessly self-indulgent at a time like that. And all over a girl. It's too bad to, because I thought the season started off great and I really enjoyed the first two seasons, but since I was never a fan of Kaname (she's too quick-tempered and selfish for my taste) losing respect for Souske kinda plummets my interest in the show. I'm not sure it can come back from that in two episodes, but we'll see. |

If the choices he makes, even when they're wrong, are understandable, it's fine by me. Even if he is making the wrong choices, I think there are more than enough reasons to justify why he is acting depressed. Anyways, great episode. For a second there I thought it was Chidori. 5/5 |

 |
| This was rather a depressing episode and man that prostitute sure looked like Chidori... |
 |
| As expected when the action is lacking or Sosuke stop being a badass, it is instantly disliked. I personally appreciate and love FMP so far for taking the time to highlight Sousuke's mental state. Not only it gives depth, but also he's developing as a character. It proves he's still human being, he learns to accept Chidori's feelings in this case and I do hope he won't be as thick headed as before. What not to like? |
| What a waste of liquor. |

I think it was a pretty original way to go about it too, let's if this effects how Sousuke behaves around Kaname in the future. :x (hopefully it does.) |
Ericonator said: By definition, everything is retro since by the time you realize something has happened it's already in the past.  |
| Another slower episode. The timing for these feels weird or off. Not even Kaname's Chinese Prostitute Doppelganger could snap Sousuke out of his funk. Well lucky he found that random newspaper I guess. ;D |
| am I missing something or can everyone just HAPPEN to speak japanese lmfao??? |
| Xtina is my mother! |
| Everyone in this anime is really fluent at Japanese, you don't even need Konyaku from Doraemon xD Another Chidori eh? She seems a "もったいない" character, could be an important character.. But I guess she's just an extra Everything she said is a bit true "In this world, it's the ones who take life seriously who end up looking the fools" |

Zell182 said: So Sousuke was an assassin even at 7 years old. Wow. That was already foreshadowed with S1, nothing new there. Last 2 episodes been more slow, but I liking the development for my boy Sousoke, it is believable, there is no way to avoid it, since he was always a person that didnt show his emotions too much, that saved everything from himself, that blame Arbalest and himself, a failure... there is only so much one can take till it breaks, and that happened last episode. Seems like he getting himself on the right track again, after that older Kana fake whore (WTF). Gotta give him props for resisting those charms, since she was really looking like an older Kaname right there. |

| damn sousuke...is really growing as a character...hmmm |
 |
| She could have AIDS or something like that but I was triggered when he stopped her XD it was a great occasion |
 |
| The way that Chidori lookalike imagined Sousuke as a cleaning man on a mission who skipped out on work made me laugh as well. lol |
| The Kaname lookalike feels utterly pointless, to be honest. And the fact she literally acts exactly like Kaname just makes it all the more bizarre. May as well just have it be Kaname at that point, or just have this all be a random dream sequence. Or, to put this all another way, I don't think this prostitute needs to be a Kaname clone to propel Sousuke's character arc at this point: you could have any random prostitute have the same conversation with Sousuke to the same effect, rather than using one that looks, sounds and acts like an already-established character. |
| Dont understand why everyone here hates the adult Kaname lookalike, she was great. |
