| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I don't think I understand all of this. Especially the last scene confused me, what's this to do with Hyohyo? I should've read the previous threads more carefully I guess lol. Anyway, I enjoyed the episode. Again, it was over too fast. Didn't expect to see such a huge Kaiba either. Hope Neiro will be alright in all this betrayal stuff going on in that organization now. |

| Interesting episode, reminds me of the first one, though i don't really got what was going on. Who's the guy in the mortal Warp's body? What's up with the last scene? What will happen with the kaiba? I guess the following episodes will be just as great as this, though i will miss the 1-ep-long stories. |
 |
| I didn't really get all of it either, seemed like a lot of stuff to put in one episode. So does this mean that Neiro is Hyohyo or is it someone else? Can't wait to see how this turns out. |
| I, for one, am glad they didn't spend this episode wandering around some random planet and instead gave us a much needed serving of main plot development. Been waiting for that for quite a while. |
 |
| I'm very confused at the Hyohyo part. Hopefully we'll get this explained in the next episode. Anyway, I really enjoyed this episode, it was nice to see they didn't spent it on a trip to a random planet, and instead gave us good plot development. |
| that was certainly a good and interesting episode...I look forward to the next episode with some relish. And I was slightly remined of evangelion during the scene in the body collection place. |
| Too Good |
 |
| Great main plot development, nuff said. Still, a confusing episode. I'll be rewatching the whole series after I complete it. |

| I don't seem to have anything confuse that much. It is just that the plot hasn't reveal enough yet. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Hmmm! Jep normally i dont get confused or at least think so, but this was really confusing... Who was the girl in the bath?: Neiro, Cheiko, copy Neiro??? And the pink one?? I guess ill go for hyohyo being neiro.. The flashback scenes of the childhood and the one with neiro and masked warp kinda fighting, kinda curious are very important.. to my opinion... I wanted to get some screens but crunchyroll has too slow hq and very bad lq... Any streaming site u guys recommend? °_° |

| It was another amazing episode. I understood some of it, but I'm still pretty confused with other parts, though I'm sure it'll all make sense soon! |
  |
| I don't even try to understand Kaiba anymore, i just sit back and enjoy :3. Everything will unfold in the end. Fantastic episode, finally we have gotten actual story development. Can't wait for the next episode!~ |

Siing said: I don't even try to understand Kaiba anymore, i just sit back and enjoy :3. I'm with you. I think speculation as to how this is going to unfold is pointless. It will surely be weirder than anything I could think of. I will call this though: Tragic End. |
| Interesting and enjoyable, very much so, but pretty confusing. I really hope things unfold and are made clear in the coming episodes, which I'm sure they will. |

Siing said: I don't even try to understand Kaiba anymore, i just sit back and enjoy :3. Everything will unfold in the end. Completely agree with you there^^, Anyway loved the episode, lots of great development. I can't wait to see what happens in the next ep. |

| Awesome episode (as usual), but it did leave me confused (as usual). This is just another great aspect of Kaiba. The mystery in this show is great, and I have a habit of always trying to figure out what is going on, so I can't just sit back and simply enjoy it. Either Neiro's memories were copied, or they were halved, which would mean that she could be in her normal body and inside Hyoyo, which might explain the last scene. As for the differences between Warp and Kaiba, I'm pretty sure now that the 'Kaiba' is just the name of the plant, and has nothing to do with any of the Warps we have seen so far. After all this I'm still confused, so hopefully the next episode will have some more plot development. I'm with ya freedoleen. We need the OST ASAP. |

Been waiting for that for quite a while. I'm complete opposite. The series now looks like its going the way of genericalness*. All that world-building character-developing thought-provoking story is now slowly giving way to exposition and plot driven A-to-Z-hopping ho-hummity. I couldnt care less about a plot we've seen a billion times, give me quirky unique exploration of life in this weird universe instead. *yeah I had to look this word up, the noun of 'generic'! |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Great plot development there, we see that Nero's organization isn't really all that good. This is the main problem with this kind of idealogical struggle, it'd turn easily into extremism. I loved all the revelations here, that the actual Warp isn't the real Warp, that Dana-sama is a leftover copy of Warp, that Popo changed his body and that his mother sold her body to save him. The beginning was very intriguing, apparently Nero used to know Warp in the past, but since Popo changed her memories, maybe she doesn't recall it. Apparently it's over for the episodic nature of the story. I think it was enough, not too litle like for Eve no Jikan, and not too much before it ends up being repetitive. |
| Wow huge advancement in storyline! I'm losing track of who's in which body... |

| Good ep. Some plot advancements and expositions. With that put in just a single ep, it was really confusing. Hope the next episodes would really clear up everything. :) |
| Now that the truth about Warp was revealed the whole plot is beginning to make some sense. Popo is really something... plus, he's totally mad. Kaiba indeed has much importance in the world, as the title suggests. The ending scene was easy to understand: the flying creature is the past Neiro, the one with her original memory, and the one inside her body is the version brainwashed by Popo. |
 |
| Still a lot of puzzle pieces missing but I'm betting a lot of it will be answered. Freaking love Kaiba, it's so bizarre and perfect in every way! Depending on how strong the next 4 episodes are I might seriously consider adding it to the favorites, which is fucking monumental for me. |

| Some of it was confusing. Still great |
 |
| That was one interesting backstory I've got to say, explains a bit more about all the characters. This episode sure made it quite interesting. |
 |
| God I love this show's OST. |

I couldnt care less about a plot we've seen a billion times, give me quirky unique exploration of life in this weird universe instead. *yeah I had to look this word up, the noun of 'generic'! This statement and opinion is so ridiculous and contradictory that I simply don't have the time to explain it. I only have the time to point it out so anyone who comes across this episode discussion doesn't overlook it. This retort is pretty ridiculous and conveniently left unexplained, so I feel the need to point it out so it doesn't get overlooked either. What's wrong with Beatnik's opinion? I understand his sentiments and feel the same way. I'm a sucker for worldbuilding and exploration of themes, which was what Kaiba emphasized in previous episodes. I honestly didn't mind that the plot had been pushed aside, but I knew it would have to return in full force eventually because of all the sprinkles of plot development we got during the first half of Kaiba, despite its episodic nature. The plot will probably be nothing new anyway; well-executed, hopefully, but most likely generic, even with the interesting premise. On the other hand, the first half of the series was full of creativity because of the worldbuilding, and I would have been perfectly content if it had continued. |
 |
| Well this just got more interesting :o We learned quite a lot this episode, although it kind of gave me more questions. Really sad, the whole thing about Popo's mother, and then how he stomped on a nippo...not only is that his favorite, but his mother brought it. I think it's tough when you have to choose between something you are fighting against and your family, like the one guy who wanted to save his sister. It goes for Popo too. |
| Okay so this resistance group was led by 3 old Warp's fighting the current ruling Warp who is a fake...reminds me of the cylons. So where is OUR Warp? |
 |
| How interesting. The plot gets even more confusing but at the same time provides answers. Damn. |

 |
| so much development, so many questions raised. this story is really moving. |
| Return of the ostrich ! I like the guy, hopefully it's not dead |
| I knew it! There are more than two Warp, it's the only way so all of this would make sense. But I didn't thought that there were several copies of Warp, and the fact that the one in space is a fake copy either. The only thing I'm missing out is who the hell is inside that yellow flying thing. Since episode two I think it's Neiro, but I'm not quite sure...let's see if I'm right. |

I'm glad I wasn't the only one... ...looks like most people had the same reaction of confusion as me, though not as much as others. Either way, I can't wait to see how it all ends. |
| This was very complicated, but its awesome too. Now we know who is the main character Warp/Kaiba. Now we know why he doesn't remember anything. Now we know what that sign mean. Now we know what is that plant that eats things. Now we know some stuff about who is behind what's happening. This episode is a masterpiece of "Show dont tell storytelling", which i can appreciate. This anime treats the viewer as smart people. Excellent Episode, one of the best. |
| Wooot|!?!?!?! So many breakthroughs!! So Dada is three defective old Warps. Neyro's memories were indeed altered by Popo Popo's mom sold her body and became a robot in order to buy a new body for her fragile child, Popo. Warp is not just one, it's endless Warps but only 1 of 2000 can hold Warps true powers. |

| pffft, i didn't know a Kaiba plant could swallow an entire planet. Well then the would explain the black orb at the end of ep 7 it was feasting on. |
 |
| Oh no ...... It's all kicking in! Finally, the rebel "ishudan" has arrived. Even though Poppo's mother sold her own body to take care of Poppo, it seems that it was a zero-tolerance policy regarding storing memories on a chip. |
"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| Neiro and Popo give the impression of being in a sexual relationship of some sorts, interesting. Popo himself is also insane, which isn't much of a surprise. But the memory alteration is working out well for him. Wonder what's up with the weird emu/ostrich creature. It's been helping Kaiba a lot. More memory transferral going on there? |
