| The old guy reminded me of a tengu. |
| Mikuni's fight was awesome. So the future as a collateral has actually much darker meaning. A father loosing his 3 children is just painful yet he accepted it. What a great guy. |
| All these sudden asspull supermoves are kind of enjoyable by now. Oh well, not much more to say on this, really. Edit: I totally forgot mentioning the absolutely horrendous CGI since Masakaki is kind of cool, despite looking awful. |

| 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. |
SoundlessSky said: I think when you go bankrupt, everything you've done that's influenced by the Black Money simply revert (the teacher do Deals to raise his kids iirc). That theory actually seems really plausible. |
| Mikuni seems pretty cool and straightforward ... but there's something about him that's not right and I'm still thinking he's going to be an enemy. sucks for that teacher.... seeing his kids just disappear but at least he still has his wife right? |
 |
SoundlessSky said: I think when you go bankrupt, everything you've done that's influenced by the Black Money simply revert (the teacher do Deals to raise his kids iirc). this have sense |
| Oh boy! I hope this doesn't get annoying with the saving-the-enemy bs. He could be like Mikuni though but he has a long way to go. I thought the consequence when his teacher got bankrupt would be more severe than that, like the person would be on a brink of death or something. But It's still painful though, losing his children. |
| This is not a Noitamina show! That's just Yu-gi-oh again. You just play a silly game with summoned creatures to win or lose. Oh wow. And the rules of course make no sense and have no actual connection to the main point of the show... which i though it was MONEY. Money and not some silly pokemon battles with english technobabble about going bankrupt and "you have gain" etc. What a cheat! This show was supposed to be MUCH MORE than a fighting anime. Why is it even Noitamina i wonder? |

| no money no future borrow a money no future i really enjoyed this episode. |

| Good thing the teacher didn't get angry to Kimimaro, if he did, I moght get mad.. and also, I am confused about the buying of stocks and how minimizing the loss in the real world.. how does it happen? I am confused of how the deal works..O.o |
 |
| Very interesting episode. The talk between the teacher and Kimimaro cleared up a lot. Only thing he has to do is just not lose right? Sounds simple enough! =P Hopefully Mashu will warm up to Kimimaro some more and understand more about how he feels and what he wants to do. Looking forward to some of his fights! jix said: Yes this is exactly what I thought too.SoundlessSky said: I think when you go bankrupt, everything you've done that's influenced by the Black Money simply revert (the teacher do Deals to raise his kids iirc). looks like you hit the jackpot |

| The opening sequence with the random love interest (I don't even know her name, she's so poorly fleshed out) fawning over the pregnant lady was boring, and if they had to run it they shouldn't have broken up the initial fight with her boring-ass oohing and aahing. The teacher's family disappearing doesn't seem like that bad of a thing to me, since they couldn't afford to have all those damn kids anyway. Because of his stupid wife's baby rabies he had to gamble his soul in the Financial District and he lost. Better that they never had their family to begin with than he kills himself like the main character's dad and leaves a bunch of orphans and a widow that can't manage money. I thought it seemed a bit odd, in the convenience store, that he knows so little about his coworker that he never even realized the dude wasn't married. Do they talk at all when they're on duty or do they just stare at the far wall? The fights are pretty killer, though I can't pretend I understand the rules of these matchups. So the guys battling are trying to steal one another's money, and this takes the form of summoned monsters like Dog-Mask and Q? But every Entre seems to have only one main 'Asset' that talks to him, we never see Dog-Mask's comments on things like we do Q and Msyu. Some annoying bits, and I wish the rules of the fights were better explained, but we at least found out some new things ('Bankruptcies' change reality, the bad guy's organization, etc) and there was some sweet action with Mikune v Old Guy. 4/5 |

| This series reminds me a lot of the manga 'Popcorn Avatar' for some reason? The story revolving the teacher was quite sad; the only plus is the fact that his wife is unaware of what occured. |
 |
| It really turned out to be very dark and mysterious.I would never expect the District to have that much power and to be able to change the future.How is it even possible to make his kids disappear,erase any memories of them but let the father know the terrible truth.It must be awful to know that you can cause such tragedy just by losing a fight.. Mikuni's fight was fu***ng awesome.The series is great so far.I really enjoy watching it!! |

SoundlessSky said: I think when you go bankrupt, everything you've done that's influenced by the Black Money simply revert (the teacher do Deals to raise his kids iirc). That's what I figured. You invest the Midas Money into your future (in the teacher's case, his children) so it's your 'investment' that's taken away when you go bankrupt. A very dark take indeed, which really helps make this show a lot more interesting. |
| Ara ara. |
| Pretty good episode, Kimimaro one-shotting everyone in sight still makes me cringe though. SoundlessSky's theory seems true - I wonder what Kimimaro's father spent black money on... |
| nice episode, really loved it. The fight scene was great, it reminded me of Haku's mirror technique (From naruto) veruses a some what Garaa's defense (as he stood around geting protection) was truly epic =) |
 |
| I didn't expect the teacher's kids to disappear just like that. Nice fight by Mikuni but I don't really get Q's power. Is she controlling the other girl? |

A very dark take indeed, which really helps make this show a lot more interesting. This actually makes a lot of sense... It seems as though the wife really liked children, more so then her husband; childless and moneyless, she seems quite content too, therefore it's possible, with the cash injection, they may have went threw fertility treatment; something that costs a fortune. |

| OK. After 4/5 episodes into this new season, it seems absolutely clear that C is the best new anime of this spring. This episode was fantastic once again, especially in terms of character and themes development, plus the production value is probably the highest out of all the shows released lately. Nakamura outdid himself once again. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
Finally caught on to comment a little. 2 best parts of this episode and one fucked up part is worth mentioning. Of the 2 best parts the first fight Kimimaro VS Ebara was terrific with the following, Scorch Earth, which is a military term found here I can never get enough of how insane it is and the fight in the spoiler Second best part is Mikuni's fight with Kikuchi. Hurste is quite the insane asset with the ability it gives out to Kikuchi that of PACMAN defense. However the last move in the following,  was kick ass. Beautiful slash! This is also where we get confirmed that Mikuni has 3 assets: White Knight whom from the looks of this has some absorption power, Kakazuzu and Q who is the first asset of Mikuni. This means that it is possible to buy out completely the asset of someone thus all 10 stocks of that asset. Interesting enough! :D Another interesting thing about Q in the spoiler About fucked up part, well not really considering you are in the devil's realm. With the way the kids and the wife pregnant and not pregnant shown in the spoiler I do hope Hanabi's boyfriend gets defeated by Kimimaro because I have some gut feeling he is also part of the district. I was thinking it was him in the beginning of this episode. Anyone know that web site to see the previews can PM me. Thanks. OP is kick ass! Makes me want to make money! Stocks baby! |
| Was it me, or animation was better than ever in this episode? Or maybe i got used to crappy one. One way or another, this was a good episode. i |

When Mikuni uses White Knight, both the pink demon girl and Q are summoned Apparently Q starts going berserk the second she is summoned and only the pink girl can restrain her, which is why Mikuni asks pink girl to hurry up |
| So, the Financial District is so powerful that it can alter a person's life in real time? Wow! That poor teacher. It's like his children were ghosts in his home. Masakaki's screen time is always awesome!! |

Do they talk at all when they're on duty or do they just stare at the far wall? They actually did talk about that in a previous episode. His coworker said he had to work a late night shift at a convenience store because he had to care for his wife and kids. Kimimaro felt respect for the old guy because he was working for someone else, while Kimimaro was simply saving up money for himself. It's probable that his coworker went bankrupt in the Financial District and have his whole family disappear from him, or maybe one of his family members did. |
akitoes said: So that's it. Thanks man! I wonder also if giving to Q the money to eat calms her down. Hmmmmm anyone?Orca said: When Mikuni uses White Knight, both the pink demon girl and Q are summoned Apparently Q starts going berserk the second she is summoned and only the pink girl can restrain her, which is why Mikuni asks pink girl to hurry upNice fight by Mikuni but I don't really get Q's power.

| How many stocks did he need to buy to control the asset? All of them? |

| Best episode so far.... I also thought the teacher was about to run infront of the train at the one part... Insane to think his kids were sacrificed... Mikuni = hawt! |
  |
| Q and that pink asset reminded me a little of Beauty and the Beast with the way that they called Q Beauty. Mm, guess we'll have to wait to find out more about that. |
 |
SoundlessSky said: I think he was the same guy who got pwned by Mikuni during episode 1. Naturally, when you go bankrupt, you can't see Midas money anymore x.x Nope, that guy committed suicide by jumping in front of a train IIRC |
| Props to them. Not all anime nowadays can pair great action and psychological scenes that aren't complete bullshit in the same episode. They did it. Mashu still needs a hug. |
"Tonight, I sit in the eye of the storm. As fire boils around me, I press forward, winds and lightning lashing my wings. I am no match for what I face. Yet I will not back down, and though fear may place it's stranglehold on my heart, courage will see me through. With tears in my eyes, I hit full throttle. My engines become an inferno, and my weapons light up, awaiting my command. If I die tonight, I will do so fighting for everything I believe in."  |
| Wow. I wonder if those kids hang around as ghost-things like that, or if it was just an effect to help show the gravity of his loss... |
| Dear Math, I'm not a therapist. Solve your own problems. Oh, and Algebra? Stop asking us to find your ex, she's NEVER coming back. |
| Wow, who knew that losing a lot can cost you your future. This series pretty showed a good amount of action, but things did get dark. |

akitoes said: I don't agree. Summons are summons. Attacks are attacks. They are saving macroflation for some amazing battle time spot. Can't wait for that one.SoundlessSky said: Jesus, I want to see Macroflation now. PAC-MAN Defense and White Knight are Macroflations, I think EDIT : Summons Mikuni's other 2 assets |
aznkirby890 said: Agree but the one pawned by Kimimaro, the one with the iron balls may have had his kid die by having the wife kill it. Since that guy was fighting for them and in the end he cared about his own life thus what he cared for got taken from him.SoundlessSky said: Nope, that guy committed suicide by jumping in front of a train IIRCI think he was the same guy who got pwned by Mikuni during episode 1. Naturally, when you go bankrupt, you can't see Midas money anymore x.x physics223 said: You all need to give respect to this guy! I can verify with my vast knowledge that it is all good! It does teach a lot in this series. Last time I remember Ef had references with Tarots with Yuuko. Here are my thoughts regarding the episode. The tarot symbols are undeniably related to the series itself. |
