Ohh,a confession.

Thank god Nagase didn't died.Balloon Vine is such a troll.

They kissed.So Taichi stole Iori's first kiss (and technically Inaba's too).

"After all,this experience was to your benefit." Hmm,had been thinking these incidents have been like trials to test their friendships.

Dafuq is wrong with that guy? That was literally psychological torture :/
No matter if they advanced in their relationship, to do that not only to their friend but to their parent, that weird god is a mad man.

Well, I guess now that Taichi and Iori will be going out together. But will it work out? Even if Taichi is good to play with words, he doesn't really understand her. They said it themself, the two of them are acting by their own selfishness. It could make things even worse.

Ibana maniac laugh at the end was funny xD

Hey, I'll take a bet : by the end of the serie, Aoki and Yui will be going out together! Okay, that was a bit of an easy one :P

Almost 2 years late now..
Should've been an otaku back then. :P

Anyways, I cried to the "almost" last words of Iori. T.T

I guessed she wasn't going to die. I just had a feeling. So does this mean the Inaba x Taichi ship won't sail? :(

Now this will cause some interesting dynamics. Taichi technically kissed Inaban there...

This ep was crazy... it got dark real quick and then we got trolled at the end.

Interesting problem that heartseed threw at them... I thought she was gonna die for sure, but I guess this hopefully means that heartseed isn't actually gonna hurt them(?)

I like Aoki and Yui together, hopefully she will accept his feelings in the end!
About Iori's almost death, I was really hoping she would die, she is the one I less like, but when I saw everyone sad, I got a bit sad...but I still think it would be better if she had died right there...

What a fantastic episode, The moment when Nagase's "last" request with Taichi is the crying moment for me. And when Heartseed tricked them, I was like "You trolling Basterd". I can't wait to see Heartseed is planning next for them.

This episode was just...

I got sad, thought someone was gonna die, started hating HeartSeed. Then I got confused about HeartSeeds motives and was happy Lori survived, then thought about how I should've already known. Then I laughed it off with a creepy Inaban laugh...

Oookay. Not even six minutes into the episode and we are hit with some really fucking retarded drama.

So you pretend to be someone else and when you are not being recognized after just saying few fucking word's you act like it was the biggest betrayal.

And even if turned out to be just about Taichis feelings to Iori it would still be fucking stupid because he wasn't even finished talking.

EDIT: No trouble, NO TROUBLE. So i'm to assume that everyone would assume that it was just accident how she ended up in the river. No suicide watch or anything?

I don't think i will complain anymore or make a summary on the last episode discussion so i just say it here. There's plenty good ideas here but the execution is really poor. Everything moves on a too quick of pace and so forth.

Episode 05 - A confession...and Death:

Aoki sure is a direct guy, with te necesarry guts to not surrender to her love (and it seems somewhat reciprocal)

Taichi promisse Iori that he will always know when is Iori the one he talks, so this must be very painful for her. But he sure do know her. And what a direct guy.

Ballon Vine, you do not want to see interesting stuff like the things this group does? he is only a boring god with a control obsession.

The end was very sad, and is all because that godlike Ballon Vine, well i'm happy that he was lying. But that was obviously for his own amusement (or maybe, he really want to help these guys?) and he probably can control one's life...

After a nice starting scene with Aoki confessing to Yui, who rejects him... for now, Iori's worst fear happens: she fakes that Inaban switched bodies with her and asks Taichi how he feels about Iori, and... the real Inaba appears.

In the last episode, Taichi assured Iori that he would know who she is despite switching bodies, but once she faked her personality for Inaban's once he totally failed to do so, that's a huge blow for Iori and a reminder that "kindness can hurt people too", like Inaban said.

After getting the deserved punch from Inaba, Taichi goes after her until, in a beautiful scene on a bridge, he convinces her that all her multiple ways to be and think are just all that makes Iori Nagase be Iori Nagase, that actually makes a lot of sense and she understands it.

Taichi finally confesses his feelings to her, and everything looked like leading to a happy ending... until Fusen Kazura/Heartseed appeared again, this time using Iori's body, and does nothing else but making her jump to the river. Hey, at least that being is kind enough to give Iori's phone to Taichi so it doesn't break, it's something.

That leads go the final scene of the body switching arc, Fuzen Kazura tells them that they have 30 minutes left before deciding who dies together with Iori's body, Taichi offers to sacrifice himself but they don't allow it, deciding that Iori will die, after switching with the others to give a final goodbye, Iori kisses Taichi using Inaba's body (that first kiss lol).

And when her dead was seemed to be confirmed... tadah! What a bait, Fusen Kazura had this planned and it was a test to see what they would do, "I would never hurt a good person, that's why I gave you her phone", this being is awesome.

And thanks to all the body switches that happened, now our main groups knows so much more about the others, growing closer to them, beautiful conclusion to this arc, but there is still so much more to come, Inaba knowing about the kiss using her body included.
