I was anticipating his void to be a guilty ...wait for it... crown in the end, but getting back his arm is still more convenient, even if this bear-all-the-pain-of-the-world power smells Madoka to me :D I was scared as hell Ayase will get the genom though... Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that. The whole time she was holding that little suitcase, I was hoping for my boy Segai to show up. Imagining Ayase with the king's power... No, just no. Would get killed in no time. I kinda wanted Segai to get it...kinda... |

| I really like how Shu turned out to be a more dependent character, which stood in contrast to his previous emotional behaviour. My friend told me some time ago that his arm could be his void, but i haven't believed in it until after the scene where his arm got cut off... You were right all the time! xD The title "Guilty Crown" also became more meaningful after the revealing of the power of Shu's void... This made my thursday like every week (but only 3 more times T__T) Don't let it eeeend! 5/5 |

Degausser said: The point with Haruka not being his birth mother makes a lot of sense now, considering their original dynamic (him calling her Haruka instead of "kaa-san" or something else) was incredibly casual and something you'd never see realistically. Anyways, I liked it. Had its flaws but every show does, and this was at the higher end of the spectrum plot-wise. I'm pretty sure everyone was aware of the high possibility that Haruka wasn't his real mom on the first episode she appeared. Though I don't see the family resemblance between her and Mana.... Pink... hair? Guess shes probably an experiment of some sort. |

I don't even recall saying that I hated this episode. I remember saying that the people who'd like it are those who are attached to the characters or are action junkies. What more do you want from me? |

| Fucking amazing, it's hard to even describe this episode ^^ . |

| First episode I've actually liked, lol. But Gai is just a suck-ass version of Griffith. Pft pft pft. Unless the other theory that he's doing it with another motive, which would be highly likely with the consistency of this anime. |

Its going to be worse on the last episode where everyone is going to have a bukkae session over this show becuase 1. "Shu vs Gai fight SO AWSUM!!" or 2. "OMG Shu sacrificed himself!! Dis best animu evr!!" This is the calm before the storm. |

Then why don't you sail off into the sunset for greener pastures before the *airquotes* storm hits? You won't be missed. My boat's under repair. Besides, I want to see how Noitamina's attempt at a mainstream series ends. Also, I should point out that I never once said that I regret watching this series. And I never hated this episode. I thought it was okay (3/5). |

| All I have to say about this is.. WHY WAS IT NOT THIS GOOD FOR THE FIRST 18 FREAKING EPISODES!? |
| "Evidently... There's no such thing as 'meaning' in this world. But that in itself is wonderful... isn't it? Since if there isn't a set meaning, then you can just find one on your own." - Filicia Heideman, So Ra No Wo To |
| So we all know Shu's fate now... Also it looks like Shu's void also replica's of other peoples voids so their "heart" is in no real danger if it is destroyed. That's what I think at least because he was able to create Yahiro's void without even drawing it out, plus the void looks different. Since we know what Shu's void does now I assume he is gonna gather everyone's "cancer" and have it perish with his own body... Make's me kinda sad knowing what will happen to him and how nothing can stop it. This is the fate of the king. Tragic. |

| 2/5, hurry up and finish this train wreck Shu. |
 |
| What is Mana's relationship to Shu? Stepsister? Adopted sister? |
In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I guess Shu is planning on sacrificing himself for the sake of saving (primarily) Inori and everyone else... great character development right there. |
| This episode reminds me of Scott Pilgrim climax scene. Shu has earned the power of Self Respect!! *power up noise* Segai is such a sadist. This episode was as much about Segai as it was about Shu's revelation. They seem to give him a nice farewell episode by showing him in all his glory. The scene where he tortures and kills the young girl was awkward. It was rather dichotomous of him to be monstrous sadist to everyone, yet he was a completely submissive towards Shu. His death scene was cringe worthy. It sounded sexual almost. I think Shu "earning the power of self respect" and Segai going out in all his glory is what makes this episode work. It was by far one of the best in the series. However, while this episode seems to try and justify this anime's messy plot all in one shot, it falls short of it's goal. It's a nice individual piece. But it still doesn't save this entire train wreck of a series. Ayase seems to be taking the place of Hare as the sweet girl. God, I hope that doesn't mean she's going to die next. Ayase and Tsumugi are untouchable. If either of them die I'm giving the series a 1 final grade out of spite. Overall, i just hope the remaining characters survive. Though I have a feeling Haruka and Arisa will die towards the end, especially Arisa. She's due to have her own atonement sacrifice to foolishly give Gai one more chance. BlackKnight27 said: Did they really have to play the "dying for everyone's sins" card? I knew it was coming, and I really was hoping the directors wouldn't resort to that in order to evoke an emotional response from the viewer. And I guess the only reason why the Void Genome didn't kill Shu is because he's "The Chosen One." And will we ever find out how the Void Genome was able to regenerate Shu's arm and gave him the power to cure Souta? Probably not. WOW, you make a great point. It's like they're actually going to rip off the Bible!! or maybe it's the Matrix with the "chosen one" theme. Though everyone says Matrix was a ripoff of the Bible also. Really, nothing about Guilty Crown feels original the story seems like it slapped together a million different ideas from other series and threw them together. Lately most anime seem to have this compulsion for copying ideas. So, can't really pin it just on Noitamina. I wonder if Shu dies and then gets resurrected? I can see it now, "The Church of Shu Ouma and the Funeral Parlor." |

| Overall a very good episode, but how did Haruka escape when he shot at her in the beginning? Too bad, would have loved to see Ayase with void powers. However Shu's void fits his actions and thoughts throughout the series. |
italy said: I guess Shu is planning on sacrificing himself for the sake of saving (primarily) Inori and everyone else... great character development right there. Wimp -> Tyrant -> Suicide. Best character devlopment ever. |

| Wait...How did Shu get so close to Arisa without getting caught? Yeah the guards were busy with the civilian...But wouldn't there be more of them? Or at least they'd be more vigilant. |

| What the hell happened to the awesome art? The faces are all derp derp -_-' This episode was a hit and miss really. The last minutes were freaking awesome. Except Shu's void being something I can't understand AT ALL! Oh yeah and Segai died... Fuck you. 3/5 Sent with Mal Updater |
| Great episode. I love Shu's void. I am guessing his void is the "Guilty Crown". He takes on everything, good and bad. |
| So, they turned Shou into Archer...well, that's better than turning him into Shinji 2.0. Still a horrible episode as allignments switch around more than the underwear of Arisa while she's schlicking off to Gai. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |

I can see it now, "The Church of Shu Ouma and the Funeral Parlor." Yeah, actually it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to compare the last 3 episodes to Christ's death and resurrection. - In episode 17, Shu is betrayed then "killed" in a metaphorical sense because he loses his King's Power. - In episode 18, Shu is "dead" because he can't do anything. - In episode 19, Shu is "resurrected" a few days later when he gets his arm and the King's Power back. Plus, Shu can now apparently cure the sick (i.e. Souta) much like Christ could. Maybe now Shu will start walking on water and turning water into wine, lol. |

| i thought this was a pretty sweet episode so this is the fate Shu has chosen huh i really do hope he dies saving everyone it's either that or Inori saves him in the end and his tracer void looks badass. my heart goes out to Segai for dying a happy screwed up man and gumy for dying like a boss. Oh and i want that Other Bois song now!~ |

SkyWyvern said: So uhh...Shu's void has the power to take other's void (Complete duplicate to the King's power). So the last void genom was literally wasted. Na, voids change according to the heart of a person. And Shu changed a lot until now. |
SkyWyvern said: So uhh...Shu's void has the power to take other's void (Complete duplicate to the King's power). So the last void genom was literally wasted. Also breaking the new arm = Shu's death = major weakness. O.K..... Take other voids? I'm sure all 3 Void abilities are the same. Daath pulled out Inori's void sword the same way Shu pulled it out. Gai shouldn't be any different since he's using Shu's original one. The only thing that would affect them would be the Void users own void. Such as Gai can use his own void to force out other voids from a distance. nomarets99 said: Paul said: We are on season two. Season one aired during Fall 2011. Season two during Winter 2011/12. Thus two seasons. The reason it's 22 Episodes because it had a Recap Movie after 11 which pretty much counts as 2 episodes... So if they had made the movie into 2 separate episodes instead, it would end up being 24 Episodes. There's nothing indicated that it's second season. Where is it? I'm basically saying that this right now is season two. Why? Because as I've already said, GC aired during Fall 2011. Then continued onto Winter 2011/12. That's two seasons, Fall and Winter. The Opening change should have been a big clue as well. Some people view 'seasons' as a entirely new continuation of the series. Like lets say theres Guilty Crown 2, some people will say that's a the second season while it really isnt, it's a sequel/continuation and thus, truly actually Season 3. You can easily tell this as well when you buy the DVD's and Blu-Rays for Anime. |
nomarets99 said: aria93 said: Also, after Shu took the new void he is going to die, right?I mean his mother told that, the one that will use this void is going to die, so in the end Shu dies... She said, There's a possibility that he will die. We don't know yet if he will really die. I believe she meant he was suppose to die when he used the Void Genome. It's either that or she knows what Shu's void was already and that he'd absorb the cancer of others, though her reaction seemed to stick with the first idea. |
