I'm not really sure what happened but it was a real nice episode.

Was funny to see Nick and Hei having the same ability. I liked the psychologic parts of this episode, too, really interesting.

And maybe I'm going in too deep with this, but somehow I think Hei's dark, dull blue eyes sort of represent a night sky without stars. Stars seem to play an important role so perhaps this isn't totally off ^^.

Next episode seems like it'll be a funny one involving some more scenes with and about Yin, looking forward to it.

I found Episode 12 on Veoh.com

It was a really interesting Episode, I'm confused on Yin's involvement, as fas I know all she can do is recon. How she helped him out exactly is bothering me. Also the sub I saw (Sudo) mentioned that the Indian girl had completed her renumeration although I never saw her use any Contractor powers are ever act like a contractor. I'm excited about this upcoming episode. It will dive more into Yin's background. Apparently she wasn't always an emotionless doll and she remembers her past albeit the emotions intangible now.

Hmm, It is indeed a confusing ep for me too. The confusing points include that as Legion17 stated, the Indian girl's renumeration...whatever her powers were I never noticed it. Also Yin's help that deserves "thanks" from Hei, whatever did she do? And heh, the last scene before the ED...whoever that girl might be, shes cute xD
Lookin forward too to next ep with moar Yin.

I think this series is the best one airing right now. It just keep getting better :) Great episode, a little confusing at times, but still great. :)

Somehow I kept getting "flashbacks" from Blood+ when I watched ep 9-12. Anyone else experiencing the same "phenomenon"? :p

I really enjoyed this episode. Hei is as awesome as ever.

First... Hei and Nick are very similar. I think, most importantly, are the emotions they project and share with each other.

I wonder what that blue light in the form of a girl was... I 'm thinking it was the girl you see at the end of the episode... err...


If it wasn't that girl, then maybe it was Meena. I still don't know what her renumeration is... Was it her covering her mouth with a handkerchief? Still, it could've been Yin who was the blue light, but I thought Yin's medium was water, which we see later as Hei snaps out of it while in the crater.

Did you see the starry sky reflected in to his eyes? That was pretty cool. Also, the cartoon like rocket blasting off was beautiful and amazing itself.

Next episode looks great. More Yin! I seem to like her personality from what I've seen in the preview. Looking forward to it!

I thought it was pretty straight forward really.

Yin snapped him out of it and basically let him know that people were coming and he needed to run at the end.

Slowly getting more background.

More questions just keep piling up. I couldn't figure out the remuneration of the female researcher. I got Yin's involvement since Hei called out her name when he looked into the puddle in the crater after the blast of light though.

I have no idea what was going on...I was following the story fine up until the blast. Where it got really really fucking trippy. I have no idea what that indiana woman's power was, let alone her rumination, and I have no Idea what Yin did besides look at Hei through the puddle.

The Indian chick most likely had some sort of deal with the Syndicate Hei works for. Do research on the Meteor Shard and you can work there. For some reason, people are after these "items". That diamond plant thing, now the shard...hmmm

Jeez, Hei can be such an ass sometimes. To Mina especially, in these last few eps.

Anyway. So I'm confused. O.o Blaggkjsf.

Come on. Every hetero female in the series is hot for Hei. If he got involved with half of them, he would rapidly pick up something considerably worse than mono. Give the guy a break. He burns up a lot of energy fighting for the Syndicate, then cooking up enough food to feed himself, and now you want him to be a lover, too?

Mina: Hei, I'm falling in love with you.
Hei: Look, lady, everybody falls in love with me, you're going to have to take a number and wait in line like everybody else...
Mina: No, really, I want to impress you by drawing public attention to every phase of our secret spy mission.
Hei: You know what would really impress me? If you could keep your mouth shut and let me take care of business for once...

Lol, the episode wasn't bad, but the ending was the most ambiguous thing I have ever seen.

It's clear Yin did something, but between the explosion, Nick flying off in a spaceship, the researcher's remuneration and the girl in the tower, I'm quite lost.

tho re watching it and commenting, i can't believe people never comments on the more important parts about this episode besides the confusion with Yin doing something, she obviously snapped him out of that trance, and was possible because only contractors can see or seance them. and no one noticed Hei's sister Bai helping him during the shot or at least doing something.

remuneration: the act of paying for goods or services or to recompense for losses

researcher that was talking to nick hei (tsk, they just have so much in common):
"she found what she had lost and completed her remuneration"

seeing as how she didn't show any contractor powers I'm guessing it relates more with the formal definition.
so the translators probably used that word to confuse us even more.

Wasn't the girl his sister? o.O I'm pretty sure that's her who he lost (and then 'found again withing the gate')
And the other one, at the end of the episode, that's the one from the OP...
Haha, the Indian girl seems to have hots for Hei. I'm with her on that one xP Although he kinda looks like a junkie.

...he's not a regular contractor, he seems to be way more emotional than most of the other ones...Especially when it comes to his sister. I felt bad for him when he said that in the end, contractors can't dream...

Sandgolem said:

I think...if it wasn't for her, Hei would keep sitting there in shock, and in the end - be captured by the people who came to see the commotion. She kind of snapped him back into reality. That's just my interpretation though.
- If you believe this place holds you, it is a prison.
If you do not wish to leave, it will become a fortress.

Yeah, I guess they probably said something like she payed her debt or fulfilled her contract/agreement with the Syndicate. The sudo translation didn't make sense. Guess someone was sleeping there. Still, this is the first time I've noticed something like this, so I still think they've done a nice job.

I loved this episode! Hei snapping is great, we get to see his motivations a little better!

Resaw it

Still makes lolwut sense wise when Nick and Hei "share" that vision. Nick is seeing what he lost. His innocence? His dreams? His sister is there too maybe he lost her as well?

The Indian girl is not a contractor. The dub says she regained what she lost, which is what several people say is possible within the Gate (which they acknowledge as an urban myth as well)

Maybe it was her ability to love? Maybe she closed herself off to it she did say she was focused on research only. And we all know how much attention that demands and how it would whittle away at other aspects of life especially when you plunge yourself into it. She was clearly falling in love with Hei. (Or maybe fascinated by him. You know like a sorta scientific love :P)

Yin's spectre somehow wakes Hei up and the head guy Sergei was a mole for the Syndicate as well.

I forgot how interesting this show was...
