I HATE THIS EPISODE ; ^ ;

I hated Sannan right from the first season, So his dying speech and apologizing made me feel so sad and guilty.

AND HEISUKE ; ^ ;
AND SANO DIED FOR NOTHING ; ^ ;
AND WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED TO SOUJI?

I just wanted to watch a nice reverse harem....NOT A TRAGEDY!
UGH I can't take this anymore, just two more episodes.

>.< And now they're glowing.
I think the most used phrases in the whole series are
'take care of Hijikata-san/-kun'
and
'I'll go make some tea'.
How sad is this?

Well I couldn't care less about Sanan, but not Heisuke, so sad. Kodou finally got what he deserves. A rather good episode.

This whole 'I'll leave him to you Hijikata to you' is getting old . . . And annoying. Good thing she was left behind. She's useless.

Annnnd heart's been stomped out again. Heisuke.... Sannan... :'(

You know, I wouldn't mind Chizuru's uselessness if she gave me the impression she was trying. Like if she actually listened when someone told her to "run" and only got captured after she was trying to escape. Or I don't know, maybe actually DRAWS HER SWORD if she's gong to attempt to protect her father. Nope... always deer in the headlights.

Seriously, had they followed any other path it would've been brilliant (especially Sano's!). But no, assholes HAD to choose the most depressing and bloody one.

Hijikata's is the longest path and covers the most regarding the Shinsengumi as a whole, so I think that's why they went with him, but yeah... depressing.

Two eps left. Still holding out hope Saito is alive and kicking somewhere. Will definitely be watching a comedy after this one.

Sannan got me....lol but damn those 2 (Heisuke and Sannan) had to die. And that ending, leaving Chizuru behind. This anime gives me so much "Why does this have to happen?!" feeling...omg

Me at the first half of the episode: Damn you Sannan, I knew you were bad news. I hope they end you today you sneaky son of a--

Me at the second half of the episode: Dammit Sannan don't you die on me now!

Man I was hoping at least Heisuke would survive, this is just flat out depressing now. Although based on some of the reactions to this ep, I'm glad I'm a straight guy cause I can't even imagine how much torment this show would bring me as a fan girl.

well! to think that i decided to watch this because i had just completed texhnolyze and wanted to see something more lighthearted....

i always liked sannan; but i was expecting him to die; it is possible that Chizuru will be the last one standing.

speaking of whom - that woman is bad luck. of course her father died of multiple stab wounds. she said she would protect him, but just stood there with her sword unsheathed so he had not no choice but to defend her himself.

At least they revealed that Sannan was a good guy after all. His eeriness quite worried me for awhile lol.

O MY GOD!! I cried so hard ;__ ; I know it had to happen but WHY?? at the same time. You know what I didn't catch was what happened to Saitou-san did they kill him off that one episode??
Didn't he actually live for a long time after the Shinsengumi broke up? (along with Nagakura-san). If so why did they show the end like that?? And I think I know the reason why they didn't show Harada-san die because (and this is just speculation based on botched up history) the rumor that he actually lived after he left with Shinpachi. They went their separate ways but it was said that he may have fled and lived in another region to avoid being recognized as Shinsengumi. Of course he also changed his name, but there is no real proof of this so that's why it's speculation. Anyone else think so??

I seriously doubt he survived. I don't think any of the main characters would be the type to run away and avoid being being known as Shinsengumi. That would be cowardly plus they believed so much in the Shinsengumi, why would they want to hide their connection to it? I doubt Sano would do that.
When he was dying, they both just sat there doing nothing. They probably didn't try to treat the wound because they knew he had been shot in a critical place and he would die. We can't say he survived, because he would have died from blood loss since the wound wouldn't have gotten treated. Shiranui certainly wouldn't have tried to give first aid, seeing as he was just sitting there even when Sano was alive. It's sad but imo, he died. But really that was such a cool position to die in!

But where the he'll is shinpachi and where was my favourite character's body when be died (okita)

Dammit now they did it they killed my fourth favourite character heisuke nooooo T_T

Also I wish if hijiketa dies instead of okita or harade or Saito or heisuke I do not hate him but I like the others more

Does anyone else feel that hijiketa looked a lot like Sebastian Michaels

And didn't Harada-san kill that dam dog chizuru's father

Also where is the demon who fought with Harada-san did he die too he was the only demon I was okay with

And where the hell is kinpachi did he die too

I have written a lot I am so angry at the moment and every little moment I break in tears and watching from the first episode of season 2 to this episode in one day is just too much like I didn't stop crying for a moment today and the op and ending are very annoying because whenever I see the dead characters I start to cry and can't continue to sing with the singer.
Oh kamisama oh god this is even worse than akame ga kill oh god please help me forget about those handsome beautiful amazing brave characters T_T
