A lot of cute stuff. The end was a bit surprising as Tybalt doesn't really seem as the hugging kind. But it was still cute. He has a soft side.

It will be really hard for Juliet to face them when she doesn't have the killingbone in her body. But we'll see what happens.

Romeo will be so pissed...or not. xD

Erm... I didn't really hate this episode. Maybe I'm just easy to please. XD I was kinda disappointed with Juilet's turn of character, but I'm sure she'll get stronger again (not... physically...).

I don't really see Tybalt as any competition for Romeo. At all. Even if he's going to be, I can't imagine him actually holding feelings for Juliet. And even if he is her cousin, in those times you could do things like marry your cousin, etc. so it shouldn't make too much of a difference in determining whether he's competition or not.

Mercutio's lame. The only reason I can think of as to why he even made an appearance is foreshadowing. Maybe Romeo will go confide in him about important stuff later on and Mercutio will betray him...? Something like that...


This.
And that xD

I'm okay with this episode, but not as good as the previous ones of course.

One thing's weird about it... Have you guys noticed that Benvolio's letter wasn't written in English? But some other European language like... German or Italian... I don't know, I couldn't read it...


It surely was Italian. Because Romeo x Juliet is set in Italy. At least the original play is.

About the episode... I liked it. Juliet's sudden change of character kinda pissed me off but I like the way the story is developing.

It is Italian, as Dusk252 said. I study Italian and my nerdy side gets all giddy whenever I see they actually used Italian throughout the show... xD I couldn't see all of the letter but it pretty much talked about using an old friend as a messenger and wishing the best, etc.
I liked this episode. I don't think that Juliet not being able to kill makes her weak--it fits along with her character, as someone else mentioned. She never critically hurt anyone before, even as the Red Whirlwind, and taking on a different persona helped her carry out her actions imho. Now, as Juliet without the mask, hurting another after wanting so badly to save everyone is normal, plus she's only 16 and her own parents were killed. I was actually reminded a lot of Batman (Chris Nolan's xD ) and Aang from Avatar, and I don't know anyone who thinks they're weak because they also didn't want to kill... when the time comes she'll do what's right, methinks.
Oh, and about Tybalt, I don't really see the formation of a love triangle in the future, I think the scene was supposed to shake Romeo up a bit, and show that Tybalt is not as cold as he tries to appear. But that's all just my speculation :D

I really liked this episode.

Tyablt's scary.
I hope that "little scene" doesn't screw things over too much for Romeo and Juliet.

I finally thought that an episode was going to end without a cliffhanger but I guess I was wrong. Also, those Pegasus tend to lose a lot of feathers.

I think people are reading too much into Tybalt hugging Juliet. What else do you do if you have a girl breaking down in front of you? I may be wrong but I think the outcome was what he wanted. If she killed the Priest then she could end up just like Montague. Her inability to kill shows that she would be a fair and just ruler. It would be awesome if it turns out like that but I’m afraid that probably won’t.

Ahhhhh, I love misunderstandings. Tybalt is gorgeous and I really wish he wasn't Juliet's cousin.
Oh and by the way, they've completely destroyed Mercutio, my favourite character of all time, destroyed.
Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!

I think you're right about the hug but not about his expectations. I think Tyybalt really hoped she would kill the Friar to prove her dedication, but he understood exactly what it meant when she couldn't. Not that she was weak or undedicated, but that she had a pure soul. The hug I think was pretty much just to say "its o.k., I understand." Oh, and to shake up Romeo, which isn't exactly fair as he was ENGAGED through the whole relationship, but he's too adorable for me to hate.

Mercutio has previously been in it, although on briefly. I want to see more of him.

Yeah, I kinda feel bad for Hermione too.

Tybalt is so hot, but he really shouldn't be interested in his own cousin romantically, not sure he is tbh, I think he just wants to protect her like a brother maybe.

Poor Romeo looked heartbroken in the end.

Juliet should have killed the priest if she wants to go out on a quest for revenge like she was meant to, but Tybalt had to do the deed himself. Will she be able to take a life next time after saying she can't? If she wants revenge she may have to.

Francisco is also gorgeous <3

Oh no,here comes the misunderstanding.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Romeo is feeling a bit too clueless and stiff. Juliet seems to have been given the juicier dramatic lines, as well as an actual purpose and direction. He hasn't been given much to work with. Also, dammit, Shakespeare got the "curse your house" line.

Relax. We were talking about the original version written by Shakespeare most of us read in school. At this point of the show (Most of us watched it as it aired on TV every week.), we didn't know whether it would hold true in the anime adaptation, so we based it on the original tragedy.

Juliet will never kill anyone, even if they actually deserve to die.
