2 - The guy who Masako takes orders / gets her information from. Just a thought but maybe it's Tabuki; the OP makes him look the most mysterious out of all.


I believe it is Sanetoshi, the guy on the phone did say something along the lines of: It was electrifying.

Wow this episode was such a tease, it continued to set up as if Yuri and Ringo were sisters but then it just all got out of hand, and now there's lesbian rape and now I'm just like wtf but at the same mesmerized.

And what did the actor threaten Yuri with? A secret about her body? So, definitely pointing towards tranny or hermaphrodite.

Damn, this anime takes all the conventions and cliches about anime and just turns it upside down and shoves it in your face.

I like it.

So now everyone is blaming Shouma just because he had an emo moment? give me a break people. He only wanted to get away from her because he dont want Ringo to suffer. ofc, he doesnt know that she is in love with him, otherwise he wouldnt walk away.
After all the shit Ringo did to him during almost half of the entire anime and he:
- Saved her life [because he likes her, but didnt realized yet]
- and changed her crazy way of living obsessed by Tabuki and Momoka[so Ringo could live being herself].

The guy is on the verge of a mental breakdown. His sister is always dying. He´s brother is in illegal dark stuff and rarely is near to him. His parents were murderers (and all their other family ran away from them because of that).
Shouma makes Ringo cry once and now everyone hates him and calls him stupid and bastard.
oh men, what a world.

And Yuri must be an hermaphrodite. After all, her "friend" told her that "are you not afraid of breaking out with me? only i know the secret of your body".

So probably she has boobs and a dick.

Lets hope im wrong, because she has Momoka´s diary, which contains project Maternity. That means she can definitely make Ringo pregnant.

getting yelled at/rejected by the person you love, then being raped by your late sister's lover and your ex-lovers wife, all in the same day !! I'm really feeling sorry for ringo for the first time.

now I'm starting to think that Tabuki and Yuri's relationship is really just a show !

Shouma was such a jerk to Ringo in this episode, but you can't blame him. Past mistakes will go down through generations .__. But, asdfghjkl Ringo ;A; You've changed dramatically, and this is what you get? ;~;

I'm still wondering what made Himari stop going to school. I mean, I don't think it was her sickness. Since when she left the school in a past episode, Hikari and Hibari were among a large group of people looking down at her. So the reason should revolve around that, I think?

And Yuri omg. I still think you're Momoka, but-- Poor Ringo. ;__;

Nobody's talking about the gorgeous Jaguar XKR that Yuri was driving! xD

It's likely that Ringo's going to be saved by someone, either Tabuki or, more likely, Natsume (who could barge in to get the second half of the diary)

Qashqai said:
I wonder why did Himari suddenly go "they surely won't like it" from "yay I'm done, I wonder if they'll like it

Hmm, I think that's another thing that goes to prove there's a darker side to Himari's personality. It could be a sign of bipolar disorder, or DID or God-knows-what-this-anime-is-going-to-pull.

So let me get this straight; Sanetoshi loves the dentity in the Penguindrum hat who seems to have feelings for Kamba who loves his sister Himaru who Masako is jealous of because she loves Kamba. Tabuki used to love Mamoka as does his new wife Yuri thus loves her younger sister Ringo who was trying to get with her husband until she then she fell in love with Shouma who might or might not return her feelings. Ahhh this is the most complicated relationship table in a anime cast I have ever seen!!! D8

Suddenly, Yuri's into Yuri? To be honest basing on what the trap said about her body, and Yuri herself saying only Momoka accepted her knowing all about her, also Yuri saying she'll "mess up" Ringo, i wouldn't be suprised if she were a futa.

Okay, well that feels weird, like it was pulled out of creators ass but on the other hand seems like a very fitting outcome. I'm losing my mind watching this anime. ┐( ̄ー ̄)┌

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well fuck me side ways and dip me in chocolate, this ep. was the shits

- so ive heard alot of people suggest that yuri has a shaft but im hopping not cause i dont want ringo prego. cause thats just SICK. but if it's yuri idc :)

- another thing, alot of people really want kanba x himari, im cool with that as long as kanba isnt really himari's bro. if not thats reallll sick.

- another think does anyone else notice that the red rope yuri has looks kind of like the red string of fate?

-and finally who WAS momoka? \
i mean saneyoshi said he loved her, then tabuki, and now yuri???????

i think that sanetoshi loves himari which i wouldnt mind i think its cute... and i would really like to see himari join Double H... and yeah shouma was an ass, but hey if anyone had gone through what he did, we'd all be asses so i dont blame him.

WTF~ but i still love this anime! cant wait for all my questions to be answered!

There has been incest (or at least a desire for it).
There has been yuri.
Now all we need is yuri incest and this show will be complete. Clearly Momoka needs to make a return.

Fuck that! I don't Ringo to lose her virginity! I have reason to believe it might be that just because the freaking ED turned red. What do you get when a girl loses her virginity? Blood! What color is it? Red! What color did the ED change to despite being the same in visuals as last one? Red! There you have it!
Nerp said:

We all going to get trolled that he is adopted and all. In fact I think Himari's brother are none blood related to her and they are there as protectors. Did you see the brothers if they have any resemblances to the parents? Nope did not see at all not me.

The only person that I can see that'll interrupt Yuri's plans is Masako because she knows Yuri has the other 1/2 of the book and is planning to go after it.
I really hope we get an episode mainly focusing on Masako + Mario they're the only characters that we haven't really gotten even a minor backstory on.


While Ringo is obviously somewhat nutty, she's is a decent person. And Yuri is up to no good. I'm never impressed with characters who take out their own problems on other people. If she thinks that she's ugly inside, that's not an excuse for what she's planning to do to Ringo.

I hope that someone rescues Ringo soon.

Since Masako claims to know who has the other piece of the diary, maybe she'll ride to the rescue. While she's mostly an unknown, what we've seen of her is appealing.

One of the irksome things about this show is that everything is a secret. And people do stuff and then the show justifies it or explains it later. This is cheap and it's why I don't rate this show higher even though it has a lot of good points. Yuri's explaining that it was her that rode the motorcycle and stole the diary is just the latest example of this. Bleah!

Remember when they were bird-watching in the park? I thought it somewhat strange, when Yuri confronts Ringo, she doesn't seem at all bothered that Ringo is targeting her man. Her statement that "I don't think you stand a chance against me" is taking on a new meaning now...

And then when Ringo slips Tabuki a love potion, she once again shows a minimal reaction. She clearly can recognize the effects of the frog potion, and knows it lasts only one day - now we can guess this is because she's done the same date-rape research as Ringo! And then soon after, she tells Ringo that she really loves Shoma - It' s like "Of course I know who you like, because I've always been watching you."

Maybe's Yuri's a futa. It would be a hilarious twist that I would've seen coming. Or maybe she's scarred all over. Or used to have a shlong, and now has fake knockers.

Really hoping Shouma comes to his senses and at least apologizes. Maybe the two halves of his conscience will duke it out. As penguins.

I still don't think she's futanari - it's just so out there, I've never seen it outside of Doujins.

And the ending song is either going to switch every episode now, or the latest one will stick. Either way, I think the red colour will stick - the first ED was heavily red coloured, it goes with death, love, fate, and apples. The ED for 13 was greyscaled for despair, and goes with the ending song "Gray Wednesday".

I do *not* think the colour of 14's ED represents Ringo losing her virginity.

Oh. I notice something else which is very interesting about that picture. Can everyone else see it?

If you can't I will point it out. The interesting thing is the name on the top-left of the magazine. It's Natsume, the same surname that Masako and Mario have, and considering that Masako appears to be extremely wealthy, it is likely that her family is somehow involved with that magazine (or alternatively, the company who makes the washing machine), implying a past relationship between Yuri and the Natsume family. It will be interesting if this turns out to be true.

Oh dang...this makes things very complicated...
I kind of wanted Shouma and Ringo to be together...but how the heck is that going to happen when Yuri freaking bondages her and ruins her body or whatever the heck her intentions were... D8
Although I totally understand how Shouma feels, I still think he was a bit too harsh.
I mean, I know, that at that moment he was trying so hard not to look back at her and he really wanted to do nothing with her, but I couldn't help but feel mad at him...
Now that Ringo's more sane...I-I-I sort of liker her. So Shouma BETTER apologize.
It would also be nice if he saved Ringo from whatever the heck Yuri is going to do to her...and I must admit that I knew that it was coming. For some reason, in this anime, they like adding stuff to people's drinks haha.

I agree with you, but it's kind of natural for everyone to not necessarily hate him, but get mad at him. I mean, who wouldn't?

Ringo's a really nice girl and when she was crying people can't help but feel a little mad at the person who made her cry (Shouma). I mean Ringo did make him go through a lot but she has a mental breakdown that was going on for most of her life.
She was basically a complete psycho when she was trying to become Momoko, and so just because she took advantage of Shouma doesn't give people the right to hate her either..right? I mean her family left her, basically turning her into a psycho, and now she's left with no help from the person that she's come to love.

Also if Yuri is a hermaphrodite like you described, that would seriously kill me.
Literally.

Noticed it too and wonder if that will tie in with the Natsume rescue theory in the next episode.

Certainly the face up will turn out some truths to what you mention.

Wow. That was surely a surprising episode. I was expecting for Yuri to be more normal... But so far only Tabuki looks like the normal one.

Maybe Yuri is not a hermaphrodite... Maybe there is another secret. And it seems that she was dating Momoka, so the theory Yuri=Momoka is invalid. I wonder how Yuri is connected to Sanetoshi.

I'm not sure how the whole thing about Momoka being Yuri's fated person works out - Momoka would have been pretty young when she died. Assuming that she actually did die, that is.
