| Haru slap ftw. Interesting turn of events with Nakiami and Akiyuki leaving ship, and just when I thought Raido was going to teach Akiyuki a thing or two. Btw, whatever happened to Santa form Raido? |
ecchi_taichou said: Furuichi gets his hiroku on the bus if you look again you will see he bandages his right leg and its also his right leg where it transformation is starting, though the problem relies on the "stone" that the other 2 have in their forhead and Furuichi not having one, it is possible that the stone is the "mind" of Xam'd and without it the transformation cannot perform properly or takes alot longer. The stone is probably Xam'ds memories or something. |

| I think furuichi's xamd is that completed weapon against the humanform that the doctor said he completed... |

RUED said: I think furuichi's xamd is that completed weapon against the humanform that the doctor said he completed... I second that. The bus was too long ago, and it'd be a sloppy explanation, "well sometimes it just happens slower". I think maybe the anti-humanform weapon is an artificial Xam'd or something? The Furuichi/Haru thing is allright with me, after all they were good friends before he became a complete jackass, and with Akiyuki gone (and with Nakiami) there's little surprise to their becoming a couple. What I didn't see coming was that Ishu/Nakiami scene. WTF? Were there even hints of it in previous episodes, because I suddenly felt like I've accidentally skipped something. |
Otakuman said: I don't really see a Furuichi x Haru pairing happening since Haru seems to feel pity for him rather than any true affection. Agree. As Furuichi said, he just wants things back the way they were, could even redeem himself if he can tolerate only being friends with Haru and get over his jealously of Akiyuki, but I don't think that'll happen.. ^^ |
| Honestly, the only way this makes sense to me is if Furuichi knew that he's becoming a Xam'd too after accident, and that's why he hates Akiyuki for letting white haired girl on the bus. But props to Furuichi for not going insane and whatnot even without Nakiami's guidance other two Xam'ds had. I hope for Haru becoming Furuichi's guide, like Nakiami is to Akiyuki. |

I'd rather continue seeing Furuichi's uncontrollable envy of Akiyuki escalate and culminate in a bitter one-on-one battle once he fully xam'ds out; which is still unclear whether he's capable of at this stage. |

| Very nice episode, how can this be boring when so much's going on? Can't wait to see how things with Haru & Furuichi and Nakiami & Akiyuki turn out. |

| That was nice. But not as good as episode 11. So Furuichi is also a Xam'd. I can't wait to see his transformed form. |

Yep, would be great, and a very logical choice from the part of the scenarists. Fantastic episode, very dark, deep with a lot of development, exactly what I'm asking to an anime such as Bounen no Xamdou. And the part with the spirit "violating" Nakiami felt like taken out of an Acperience episode of Eureka Seven, but the rest of the episode didn't. Not much action... but, who cares? At least there's some heavy character/plot developments. |

| I'm hoping furuichi will get insane. gotta love unstable chars. |

| I thought this episode was really great, one of my favorites so far actually. The ending with Furuichi and Haru was done to perfection, and it was overall just a beautiful episode. And now things are gonna get interesting with the shift back to Sentan Island. |

| Great episode really. And yes, Haru slap ftw. I wonder what will happen with Furuichi. |
 |
| Oh God, Furuichi finally understands. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| yay Furuichi isn't such an asshole anymore! |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| Akiyuki leaves the ship the search of answers! Seems that a new phase started. |
 |
| I wanted to punch Furuichi right in his crying face cuz he got a bubbling std growing from his nads. |
 |
| Woah Furuichi the Xam'd wonder what his full released form resembles and if he can attack with an element. |

Naruleach said: yay Furuichi isn't such an asshole anymore! but I won't be so sure about this and I don't think he will be turning to a Xamd, at least not soon. I am liking the animation and how the characters body langague is there most of the time which is something animators don't care for very much (or rather can't since it means more work) but there's also lots of times when the characters feel almost two deminsional (mostly during episodes with fights). |

Kikimaru said: Now I must continue watching this, since it seems to have lesbians -- Ishu x Nakiami? I'd fund it! Gah. I think you're looking into that too much. There's probably quite a wide age range there. I think it'd be more familial love if anything. I mean, Nakiami did say that Ishu saved her, she probably raised (or dragged her) up. So I don't think it's really in the lesbian sense *yawn*. I thought that the scene between them too was quite wonderful. Ishu's always such a tough woman so it's nice to see a more, maybe maternal, side to her. The scene at the start of the episode was definitely interesting with Furuichi. It'll be interesting to see what he becomes. He mentions later on about the bus incident, but I don't think that it would have derived from that far back, would it? So maybe when he was in the military campaign to obtain the green soul stone. In the caves. I want Haru's long hair back, sure it suits her, but the longer hair was so much better ;_; I really can't wait to see Akiyuki able to fully control the hiruko. It'll be grand. So it looks like we're heading the Tessik village, will be interesting to see the relationship between Nakiami and the girl in the photo. Don't look similar enough to be sisters, maybe chidhood friends? Sentan island first. Looks like it's gonna heat up a bit this episode. Atleast he might actually meet his mum this ep. The poor woman must be going out of her mind with worry, the least he could do is write her too. |

| Furuichi was ridiculous. And I'm so disapointed in him being a Xam'd, he doesn't diserve it, he's such a wimp |
 |
| I'm excited that Nakiami and Akiyuki are going out on their own. That's means we will see some new adventures and some character development from them before they regroup. |

| I feel sorry for Furuichi now. I really wouldn't mind a Furuichi x Haru pairing as long as I get my Akiyuki x Nakiami end. I don't hate Furuichi that much now but I still think he will lose himself in the next episodes and become an antagonist that may or may not redeem himself at the end of the series. |
 |
| I don't like this episode, especially the last part. The only part I like was only when they got down from that ship, now time to see some adventure and action.

| how did furuichi even become xam'd? he doesnt have a haruko... |
 |
| Furuichi is still a jerk Don't really like Haru's short hair, but maybe some progress with her and Akiyuki now. |
 |
| And they're off! Quite a good episode, the last part was also interesting! But what's up with that dark spirit attacking Nakiami in the beginning? |
 |
| Ha and now Furuichi is also a "monster." Karma's a bitch ain't it? Haru don't you dare get closer to him -_- |

TechnicsMKII said: I personally want to see Furuichi die. This. pinkangel28 said: i want HARU AND AKIYUKI!!!!!!!!!! And this. And so on. I'm on board with this. Also, I really don't see it ending in Aki/Nakiami, since she is only interested in Xam'd. |
| Furuichi's been so fucking pathetic and despicable so far, but the end of this episode HIT THE SPOT. AND BY SPOT, I MEAN MY NIPPLES AND BY NIPPLES, I MEAN MY ANAL CAVITY |
| LOL Furuichi playing the victim card to get some sympathy from Haru. Man, fuck you, Furuichi. If this turns out to be Furuichi x Haru, I will be so disappointed. It just does not feel right. Also, I don't get any kind of Nakiami x Aki vibes at all |
 |
| I don't really care about Haru or Furuichi at all. I have seen very similar characters before in other anime. So far they haven't been relevent to the plot either. I am hoping for some answers or at least some background info on Nakiyami in the coming episodes. |
