So the syndicate is the real enemy? I find it odd that they work for them, and they are actually trying to remove all the contractors. Amber said that she had enough dolls. Does that mean that dolls are necessary to destroy the gate?

I'm glad the plot is moving along at last, but I would have liked November 11 to go out in more of a blaze (blizzard?) of glory. Why not have his final showdown animated for a start? Ah well.

I just feel more and more confused as this series goes along. >=[

Sad that Nov. 11 died though. I'm curious if Amber is meant to be a villain or not in all this. Was she responsible for Hei's sister disappearing?

I always wonder why characters in anime make it harder for themselves by waiting so long to explain anything to others....like they want misunderstandings.

I'm still left with question...looking forward to them being answered.

So Hei's powers are the catalyst for the trans/teleportation of the area back in South America according to Dr.Schneider. The syndicate was trying to kill off Contractors back then and are trying to do so again 5 years later.

My only thing is why? They already control a bunch of them as well as other agencies (ell the Syndicate controls some of these agents too since as we saw they're double agents in organizations such as MI6)

Wow! Syndicate is planning to kill all the Contractors, i'm glad that Amber found that and tried to counteract their plans.

Hei's really awesome, he cares about his friends/companions. I wonder why he is still so mad on Amber, well, it's the case about his sister but we don't know yet all the situation.
And did he in that episode heard his sister voice saying 'onii-chan' when he was trying to use his power or what?

HAHAHA @ Mao's reaction to naked November 11

it was interesting how Amber had gatherd all those people together, partly to pass info onto Hei through Mao?

The light at the end was interesting

I was sad to see november 11 go, through i'm glad he went in a blaze of glory

i wonder what he had learnt?

The consistently best character of this series died. Remember, remember, the 11th of November, kids. Anyhoo, it looks like the next episode is going to be more focused on a grand scheme, finally.

Blah, why November 11 had to die? He was cool character.
So Amber's organization are not the bad guys in this story? And the Syndicate are the actual bastards. I didn't see this coming, despite they were really a shadowy group.

November... what a bro, what a fucking bro. I cried manly tears for you and I have no shame. I can't call myself a man until I live to be as bold as Jack Simon. You exposed the Syndicate's men and took most of them down while walking out smoking and calling your best friends... right before death's door...

July's reaction/wave at the end really affected my heart too, if I'm feeling like this, what must he and April be experiencing...hang in there!

That said, Amber was great these past 2 episodes and I like how Hei's true powers are beginning to surface, whatever they may be. The scientist was definitely on to something, but he has now been silenced. Really glad Mao got rescued though.

3 more episodes to go... Let all of the secrets be revealed.

5/5, for Jack Simon.

I just realised that the first three arcs really desensitised me - the build relationship with likeable character, then kill off said character.
Thanks to that, I don't give a damn about any of the characyers.

That was great, and also when he attempted to walk out of the room with a "meow" X) November 11 sitting with his legs crossed, naked, strangely reminded me of Archer sitting with his legs crossed, naked. Although this came first.

I wasn't expecting Nov. 11 to die either, but I felt pretty indifferent towards him, so I only felt a little sad about his death. And wow, who knew that the syndicate was trying to kill off all the contractors? And that Amber is trying to stop that. We also get to know that Hei is pretty special, something maybe to do with the meteor shard? Btw, Amber's outfit looks horrendous...maybe it's so that when she uses her powers and shrinks, she won't have to change into another outfit...or something? Otherwise I don't see why anyone would ever want to walk around wearing that thing.

I didn't expect that Amber is trying to save the contractors.

Mao:"A contractor's decisions are based solely on logic. None of us would be stupid enough to charge in here knowing we'd end up getting killed. I wouldn't anyway."

Cut to Hei, charging in knowing he'd end up being killed.

I don't know why, but i found this scene hilarious, second to Mao's reaction to November, casually sitting naked behind a desk, with his legs crossed.
