Vincent killed him pretty fast. I kinda want to see a 1 on 1 proxy fight, that would've been interesting.

heh, i liked how pino counted up to 400 rabbits till vince came back.


I was thinking, "Ah what a sweet and forgiving child...err autoreiv." LOL

And I love the last shot of the episode where Pino was standing and leaning behind Vincent. ♥♥♥

Oh well. rofl, that blonde dude (didn't catch his name) was such a creep, trying to seduce Vincent.

aaah Pino is so cute how she can't leave Vince alone and counting rabbits.

Also the fact that Vince was a Proxy was obvious. But the proxy of Death! and he seems to be a pretty bad ass one to.

Finally, Vincent is confirmed the proxy - Ergo Proxy that is..
Kinda confused what the Proxy of Brilliance is trying to say but I had something in my mind.
Hopefully, next eps will explain. :)

Great episode BTW.

I'm glad that the blonde one is out. He tried to seduce Vincent after he killed his beloved one ? Oh, okay. Anyway he is where he wanted to be and he gave us a few answers and a lot more questions.

Pino would be a great daughter :D

Going to the next episode :)

Also, why are there talking naked statues in this anime show?

The statues aren't talking... I think.
I think its actually people talking. But the camera view is on the statues. This has been done in several works before, though I can't name them.

I like the Proxy to God comparison. Because they are like, the Deities of their world. And they each are the Proxy of something, such as Proxy of the Moon, or Proxy of Death. as opposed to Goddess (in this case) of the Moon and God of Death, which is also ironic because Vincent even wondered himself if he was a "Shinigami" or Death God.


Hm really? I thought the statues' heads were moving and stuff. Maybe that's for effect so that it seems like the statues are talking. Still weird though. Those statues also give me headaches :P

It must be sad for Vincent when he realizes/remembers that he is the Proxy of Death because he doesn't like death. Even though he doesn't know how to keep living, at least he still is :) I'm glad he's back with Pino. They're a cute duo. I wonder why he cried when he was in proxy form that time when he went to Re-l's apartment? It can't just be because he likes her right?

Ah, so the pretty proxy from last ep was Hauer's soulmate, Senekis... Also, I think Hauer mentioned, (Between chugging all that wine.. That guy can drink!) that Vincent had killed his own soul mate? Was that the one that was chasing him around in Romdo?

"I've already counted to one hundred so I'm going to leave Vince behind, ok?...Hmm... 50 more!" Oh Pino... So cute.

Finally we have confirmation of what was suspected all along. He's a proxy and a powerful one at that.

Ok so there was always that thing in the back of my mind that vincent was a proxy, i mean the "hints" were like "hey guys hes a proxy" soooo yea. BUT. The episode before this one, got me thinking. These proxys are connected to things. That one was the moon.

OMFG vincent is the god...i mean proxy of....DEATH. Not goina say i called it, but im happy when my assumptions are right ^^. Vincent OP

great episode and just clarification that vincent was a proxy, but now we know he is the proxy of death, very interesting xD pino knowing all along was a reveal for me, her counting rabbits made me smile too :)

only thing i would like to know now is what other people have asked previously.... what are proxies? sure it will be explained the pacing on this anime i have realized is so good, nice and steady with healthy amounts of action but also information, love it so far

I thought he would be a proxy . . . But not "Ergo Proxy" . . . Though guess it makes sense why he is so powerful. But feel bad now for "Monad" since apparently he/she did all this shit for Ergo just to have him kill her/him.

Pino definitely masterminded this whole op
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

Nice episode!

So, is this guy(yellow hair) was killed by Ergo Proxy as Vincent? Don't get what's going on between those two. Vince should've just followed Pino and not fucked by that dude, and now he's the proxy. Was correct on that one. Now Pino is in trouble since she don't know that Vince was a proxy. Bad for her to trust him.

And now I know why this is called Ergo Proxy.

At this point, trying to understand what proxies are or why they exist is useless. My brain's just going to overheat if I think about it XD Well one thing I do get is that it was Vincent who touched Re-L on the lips and Senekisu was the other proxy who attacked him.

This shows getting so much better. Finally got some questions answered.
So Vincent is a proxy wow. I wonder whats up with Pino, and also what happened to Re-l. Can't wait to see the next ep.

So, Monad was Vincent's "proxy soulmate"? Or sth.
And back then what he did to his memories practically left her dead or unconscious, or at any case at the state we saw her in episode 7. That's probably why she was there even before Deadalus was assigned his post - the whole story dates baaack in time.

And another mystery... is Monad related to Re-I in some way? (After all it was Re-I's vision that motivated Vincent to kill the other proxy.)

Can't wait to see how this evolves. Sooooo interesting!

Great episode. Some questions definitely answered.
So these proxies are title the "proxy of -something"
Does being the proxy of death mean that he will bring death to only proxies, or everyone around him. It seems like he is super powerful and the only proxy who tends to win each fight and has the ability to kill them. Hmm....

So I think they all have a different objective and they were suppose to fulfill their proxy roles within each city/dome, but Mr. Ergo proxy here forgot his mission. Interesting. Looking forward to this.
Also another speculation about the soulmate proxies, could Vincent also have one? Could it be our main female lead? So MANY questions ugh

If only I wasn't already spoiled that Vincent was a proxy, I would have enjoyed this more. I was also spoiled that Kazkis was a proxy just by looking at Troy Baker's MAL page. Great episode though.

Still confused on what "Ergo Proxy" is.

I feel so dumb right now because I didn't realise that Vincent was the Proxy in Re-ls room, so obvious afterwards with that necklace and especially the connection between the name of the show and him. I really like the development of the story for now.

Ergo Proxy !! Shit that was awesome action.
But wait if he supposedly erased his own memories..
Doesn't that mean he's just going in circle to find out what he is ?
Now I want to know his and Monad's history behind all this fuss.
Monad seems to have just suffered from all this ordeal.

Finally some parts start to make sense.

Proxies come in pairs so pretty sure vincent and lil are related. Maybe lil is proxy of life so shes announced death but might not be truly death!

Also pino knew, smart girl but why wouldnt she tell vincent when he was wondering who he was etc

Tilted angle shots were really abused in this episode. I know it's supposed to portray Vincent's disoriented sense of perception, but goodness gracious.

And by the way, proxy of brilliance? Ergo Proxy - the proxy of death? So they weren't being arbitrary with the word proxy. Though, if this show goes the route of the proxies being representative of the human psyche, I fear this show will become, by all intents of the phrase, a battle of egos. In other words, being concerned with action and style over any actual discussion about the themes suggested throughout the show.
