And quite a surprise, he used to know Suou's mom. I don't know what their relationship is though. We also get to see what kind of unfortunate accident suou had. And finally a confrontation between Hei and Misaki, though it was short :D. And in the end we get to see a bit of Yin and a Moon?!? WTF! THE PLOT THICKENS |

| Shwaaaaaat? Mao knowing Suou's mom is a surprise. And I wonder what he looks like... gah, I have to avoid this thread now until tomorrow so I don't ruin it for myself. >____> Although odds are I probably will anyways and poke my head back in here... |

| I don't think Hei killed that girl tho..-.- and that was disgusting..... Suou gotta love her more and more now! i feel so sad for suou's mom for marrying sucha freak mad scientist tho>< |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
| MAO! ; ; Wow, the fact that the incident involving his body getting destroyed is related to Suou and her mom was quite unexpected, but... as;ldjal;skdjf seeing real Mao made me o//////o he was pretty sexy for a not-so-young guy. ;D Yin looks like a boy, man. :| A boy wearing Nia's Anti-Spiral body suit. |

| Jeez, Hei obviously didn't kill Yoko. It was probably either Oreille or Shion. Mao's ankle fetish made me lol. And also, this episode pretty much makes it clearer than ever that Misaki x Hei is never going to happen, as he was about to kill her in cold blood. So the moon signifies Yin's awakening of some sort. And what's up with that evil smile of her. |
| no Yin dont go evil Hei and Suou on good terms now, nice hair cut is really making shit better the moon is visible now everything better turn out for the better for Hei's party (you know who belongs in his party, 6 ppl lol) |
| So little episodes left=( |
| |
| Lets hope for a season 3!!!! |

Charliehsv said: And also, this episode pretty much makes it clearer than ever that Misaki x Hei is never going to happen, as he was about to kill her in cold blood. Indeed...but still it's kinda sad.Hei once said he was going to kill Yin and if he realy does it and he's not interested in Misaki...then what?Suou?! I don't want some lolicon ending xD Charliehsv said: So the moon signifies Yin's awakening of some sort. And what's up with that evil smile of her. That realy worries me :S And all this talk about her killing contractors,damn that's scary. |
 "Only the dead have seen the end of war". ~Plato~ |
| I hope this won't be reaching a conclusion. The anime is lacking .. too many holes that need to be filled. Amber, Hei's sister, The Syndicate. I have been waiting since 2007 for this and yet, it seems that it won't be revealed. I'll be waiting for season 3, sadly, with less anticipation. This season was a letdown. |
 |
Another awesome episode! Loved the past of Mao! Everything is now fianlly clear about Mao! Kirihara was nice to pick up with Suou with July but too bad Mao got left behind in the car...at least he found out more about Asako Makimiya. Great information was learned from Asako on what happened during the explosion and about Suou being a possible copy but I think the cremation might have been with the wrong body. Yoko.....T_T so sad she is dead and Hazuki giving that kiss made me think of a last kiss to a dead person thing. So does Shion really copy things or he is limited in the copy? How does Hei attack Kirihara? I though they were ok with each other....Suou x Hei getting more emotional? I prefer Yin x Hei but I have a bad feeling Hei might not have a choice to kill Yin....please do not do this! It will break of all of us Hei x Yin fans and I had enough of deads already in anime. Yin...what in the world is wrong with her and that smile here=> You believe what Yoko told Hei? I don't think Yin herself can do these things...something is controlling her=>Overall Yin come back to normal please. |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Is this really 12 episodes? |

| Nice to finally see Mao's background; there's no way Hei did that to Yoko, it's not his style. I would like to see Hei get his powers back but maybe that's how he survives the inevitable encounter with Yin, since he has no contractor power she won't kill him. scandal said: lol agreed.Yin looks like a boy, man. :| A boy wearing Nia's Anti-Spiral body suit. |

 This Fairy Tale Is Ending |
OftheFlesh said: It's Madame Oreille. Can't be Shion like someone said before.I bet those blond guys killed Youko, since she's the only one who knows her location besides Hei. I doubt it was yin, Youko isn't a contractor. |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
OftheFlesh said: BTW did you see that big telescope thing with those Dolls in green bubble like glasses....are they using it with the twins to have world Doll power anywhere on the planet? It looks like that and those twins are not ordinary dolls of what it looks like. That kiss of Hazuki in Yoko in one of my pics gave me chills and you?francismeunier said: OftheFlesh said: It's Madame Oreille. Can't be Shion like someone said before.I bet those blond guys killed Youko, since she's the only one who knows her location besides Hei. I doubt it was yin, Youko isn't a contractor. Yeah... the blond guys/people (it could be those twins you know). I never suspected Shion because I don't think he's capable in inflicting that kind of damage. |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Yeah this season was a little bit of a let down so far. I think there really needs to be a season 3, even if its another 12 episodes. The last 2 episodes just doesn't seem enough time to completely wrap this up. |
| Seeing Mao's original self and how he came to be a cat was an unexpected treat. Laughed at his ankle fixation. Interesting revelation about Suou. It does make you wonder what the limitations are to Shion's power. As most people have said, Hei didn't do that Yoko (RIP, poor girl). Oreille seems to be pulling the strings here, at least that's how it looks. Can't help but feel bad for Misaki. All she wants is the truth and to get together with that nice Chinese boy, but nearly gets killed by said boy. Yin was creepy there. Two words that I'd never think would go together, Yin and creepy. Two more episodes not including the OVA, but so much left to cover. |
 |
| Incredible episode! What a sad thing to happen to Suou though. |
| After all that talk I'm kinda hoping Shion and Yin *do* meet. I mean Shion and "the girl that used to be our beloved Yin but got a makeover from hell from the studio and is now an evil alien". *waaaah* |
| A great in-depth episode. Suou is a copy is somewhat unexpectect... but her confession to Hei was adorable even though we know nothing will come out of it. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Holy crap! Suou is a copy that was made by her brother The father is F*** up Glad that Hei didn't kill Yoko but still F*** up that either Oreille or Shion did it to make it look like Hei did, which means we will get a epic fight between Hei and Hazuki. I personal think that Hazuki did have feelings for Yoko. MAO O_o and he had a ankle fetish!? |
 |
| Oh hi, it's a new doll system, surprise~ Kirihara's car doesn't have a plate : O None of the cars do! O.O Small worthless details~ And now I'm really intrigued, how come Suou's dead even though she isn't? Oh I was right, the twins were dolls. Say who said they weren't? ^^ Who was it? : > Lol lucky~ Kirihara just happened to find Suou and July xD Speaking of July, he gets a lot of lines in this episode : O I want a steamed buns btw D: Anyone got one for me? Oh ho Suou was supposedly blown to pieces ^^ That's right, Hei's persuasive methods are the best : > Oh and so Suou is the red star? So.. Suou's a copy made by Shion's ability? (with maybe some help from the ME-stuff) OH SHI- Not nice. Well someone likes killing people brutally. Too much drama is too much drama. Suou in love? =.= You gotta be kidding me. Oh and Mao's fat btw xD No, wait! Way to use a cliff-hanger D:. Next episode.. YIN~ Must. Have. Nao! D: Gah gief fast-forwarding to next week D: Oh and btw, off-topic like heck, but Durarara!! seems pretty good xD |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| i seriously wonder how are they gonna end wif 12 ep... i feel so frickin sad for suou!!!She died...omg...wtf... How old is hei btw?<3suou!I wonder why nobody loves this pairing,sob,i think they are great together though And who's izanagi?Suou or shion?(I must have forgotten some ep) |
DESU_USED said: I wonder what Shions contract payment is because, that's a pretty powerful ability. zefster said: @DESU_USED- Wasn't Shion's obeisance that he couldn't walk? I thought he was able to walk again in the one of the earlier episodes but then used his power again so was back in the wheel chair. Yup yup, that's most likely his remuneration. (Although I don't think they've clearly said it right out.) |

| I thought it was a pretty good episode. The thing at the end of the credits was disappointing it seems a side story or another non Hei being the main character thing. I feel there is too much left for just two episodes. Side note, I am hoping for Hei x Misaki and Suou being like the adopted child and there is a happy ending.....Highly unlikely. I wonder if there going to kill off Hei? How do you feel about that? Personally it would not sit well with me. |
 |
| Hmm, my speculation for the final would be, Hei sacrifices his life to kill Yin and save everybody, but they're going to leave the ending open and leave it to the viewers to decide if Hei is alive or not. Oh, and Kirihara adopts Suou and July, or something like that. 8) ahuman said: The thing at the end of the credits was disappointing it seems a side story or another non Hei being the main character thing. What thing are you talking about? :o |
| I thought it was Yin who killed Yoko at first because of all the graphic images of Yin killing other people... w/e. Another awesome episode, and we are clearly reaching the climax. It was fun to FINALLY learn about Mao's life story. Interesting to know how coincidentally that he knew Suou's mom. I wonder what's going to happen now :) |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |

What thing are you talking about? :o Your prediction sounds very plausible. The thing I was talking about was when I watched it (30 min ago) on animefreak.tv at the end of the credits and the next episode thing there was a crazy and kind of annoying promo then it said at the bottom of the screen 2010 along with some Japanese. |
| |
| One hell of an episode. It has the feel that made me love the first season, with bittersweet memories and a difficult present... Although the copy stuff caught me a bit off guard. I'll see what they manage for the last two eps. |
| Gah the true night sky is returning!?!?!?!!!! Plus I have a feeling the Hei didn't kill Yokou and that he was set up like Mao was when he lost is body.... and so Yin shows up at the Gate, it seems like things are about to really heat up... I hope there is an extension to the season :-/ |

| Pretty good episode, best so far in my opinion. I didn't expect Suou to be something like a copy but I like how the story is going. And I guess it was pretty much an obvious fact that Hei didn't kill Yoko cause he got what he wanted. I don't think he'd be that cruel. Looking forward to the next episode. Also hoping it keeps up like this in the remaining two episodes... |
zefster said: ahuman said: The thing at the end of the credits was disappointing it seems a side story or another non Hei being the main character thing. Are you talking about the commercial that was left at the end? That was for Durarara, not Darker than Black... xD Crap I feel stupid. :( |
| |
| OMGWTF that was the best episode of this season so far... holy crap.. |
| so thats what mao looked like back before he lost his human body; and shion's power is the power of duplication? kind of cruel to suou to find out shes basically a clone, plato's lie and all that |

Suou is 13. Even so, I do like the HeixSuou >_> I think they may just put them together as a brother sister kind of love for... obvious reasons. Who knows. Izanagi is Shion. Also, I felt bad for Misaki. Gets the crap kicked out of her by Hei, and still reaches for him. :[ I am interested to see how they will play this out, relationship wise, who will end up with Hei. If they do it at all. |

francismeunier said: Brock said: This is NOT okay with Brock's rules. That's some goddamn bullshit and you know it. Yoko's death was stupid and sad , she was the most kind person in the whole god damn show. Anyway , for the lulz , look at her hand. |

Yoko's death was stupid and sad , she was the most kind person in the whole god damn show. Anyway , for the lulz , look at her hand. And in my line of thinking, that's exactly why she was killed, because "she was the most kind person in the whole god damn show". Can't have one of those in DtB now can we? Oh well, and yeah, that hand.. Gee I dunno, hurts maybe? |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Yuoko's death was awesome. It was about time DTB2 to feature such violence. I wanted to see some torturing but oh well (yeah, probably i'm sadist, so don't blame me for my wishes :D)... But definitely felt a little sad about her at first. Hazuki dropping her katana when she saw her was amazing. Now i'm wondering who Izanagi really is - Shion or Suou. From this episode i began to think it is Suou, but of course i could be wrong. I think there's more in her character than Shion's. I, like others here, don't know how they'll end everything in two episodes. *hope for 3rd season* |
| What I could understand: 1) Hei did not kill Yoko. Her death was made to look like she was killed after being severely physically tortured, whereas Hei used drugs & psychological tactics instead. 2) Wasn't Yin either. Not her style or her type of targets. 3) Probably Oreille or Genma as they might be working for the "Syndicate" & trying to turn section 3's priority into stopping Hei. 4) Simple analogy: Izanami promised to kill a large number of people everyday while Izanagi challenged her that he shall give life to a larger number of people everyday. Yin's power seems to be to make contractors commit suicide while Shion's to create people. I guess I understand how they got their codenames. 5) It seems that as dolls get stronger, they can influence other dolls/surveillance specters |
| Finished watching. Don't even know what to say. I really liked it but am dreading the end of the season because I don't know whether they'll announce a season 3. At least there'll be the OVAs to watch in the mean time. Oh, also; Am looking forward to DRR, have been for a little while since I heard GG decided to sub it along with Dance in the Vampire Bund. |
