I previously said Ali Project but after hearing it more carefully I'm 90% sure it's from Yousei Teikoku. (I should've noticed it quickly since it's one of my favourite groups, but whatever. Either way, even if it isn't one of their songs you should listen to some of theirs XD)

As for the name of the track, I have no clue but it will most likely be in the OST. At least I hope so.

She put Mei out of her misery no ifs, ands, or buts about it. If Yomi left her to live theres no telling what could happen. Mei could just sit there and die and painful death, she might come back to kill people due to the kid putting the stone back in her but in both cases Mei needed to die. Yomi did the right thing. If there was a way to keep Mei a live then I'd probably think otherwise but since Mei was clearly killed by the butterfly kid I have to thing that putting her out of her misery was the best thing Yomi could have done for her. Even if it was out of revenge and hate.

Really good episode!! looking forward to the next episode XD

That attack got ME by surprise. After watching yomi knock the first 2 blades out of the air with such apparent ease, I kinda expected the producers to let Yomi go and just end the episode with a cryptic dialogue between butterfly guy and Yomi..

But no! They have to let butterfly guy flash his butterflies and unleash his spammy rain of death out of the blue. BOO. Like what happened to the typical bad guy who talks too much and tells you exactly what he's gonna do?

Nitpicking here — the MICHAEL 12 is most likely categorized as a shinken ("true sword"), as no one would use a iaito (literally "mock sword," often made of nickel-zinc alloy) in combat. But the way MICHAEL 12 is designed, it's most common use would be categorized as iaijutsu (sword drawing combat). Kenjutsu would be the term for any combat outside of the drawing movement (however for magical swords like Yomi's, in which combat doesn't use the blade so much as the controlled spirit... I'm not sure if there is a name ;) ).

You raise an interesting point, since Mei was also considered a Category A through their radar. But I think his extra powers hint toward the "spirit" side.

Now that I think about it, 'controlled' was not the right word. Kagura's father has one — the physical manifestation of his bond/contract with the dragon-spirit. What I meant to say was that the kid may be in a similar situation.

I was already having a bad day, and this episode didn't help. I hate it when animes show stuff after the credits. Who watches the credits anyway? I just skip to the next episode. But when I read all the comments on Crunchyroll that Yomi "died" (I know she's not, but she might as well be), that's when I went back to check. Why did they kill off such an important character in just 5 seconds? They should've saved it for the next episode and made it more dramatic. Argh, Yomi would never die that easily. She's not dead. I won't accept it. She has to return back to her normal self somehow. It just frustrates me that so many major characters died in the last 3 episodes, and I don’t mean the good type of frustration, like what I felt during Code Geass, Higurashi, or Elfen Lied. It feels rushed, like a cheap trick done by the producers to induce shock on us (or at least make us stick around till next week, as if we weren’t going to, already). I know there's still 4 episodes left, but I don't know if this series is going to end in a way that will make me feel like all 12 eps were used to their full potential.

Why did you hide it inside a spoiler? It's assumed that everyone joining the discussion watched the episode completely, hence can't be "spoiled", unless you mention things that are either from episodes after the one being discussed or from manga/original work.

Also, Code Geass did use it as a shock factor, but they cheapened it by using the "Hey look, I survived because of *stupid excuse* !" trick. By the end I was actually going "Die and stay dead, bastard !". And Higurashi is a very special case :-).

Because some people, like me, might have not seen after the credits. Anyway, sushey was complaining about no spoiler tags, and slayer545 put a spoiler tag on his, so I did too. Lol. Fine, I'll remove it.

I'm pretty sure there's a delete post button... I'll use this post to test it.


EDIT: umm, wtf. xinil, the forums r broken. >.<

EDIT 2: fixed, though i won't bother deleting this post now.

This was a fucking baller episode, kinda rooting for Yomi now lol. 5/5

this episode was wayyy too surprising! i loved this one! O_O can't wait for ep. 9 to be subbed!

Good stuff, this episode was surprising, love how it is going to connect with the beginning of the series, what we seen in the first 2 episodes. I like this anime for it being the unique one this season.

Poor Yomi, this episode is pretty emotional along with episode... wait, all of them actually xD now I got a pretty good idea how Yomi turned "Evil" >_<

WOW, this episode kicked me awake! Glad Mei died, but pissed @ butterfly boy for killing so many characters so easily. Can't really complain because at some level we should've seen this coming.

Well you do realize that people aren't going to be posting in this thread unless they've actually watched the episode? Otherwise it serves them right. >:O



Exactly. So he uses Yomi to try and do the same thing to Kagura, since I think that the butterfly dude is after Kagura and Byakuei Shiro or whatever it is that she's going to inherit from her dad (or at least he's trying to get it out of the way or something).

Freaking awesome episode. Most definitely looking forward to the next one.

5/5 from me.

Interesting... Byakuei could really be his objective. Let's not forget he already targeted the previous possesor (Kagura's mother), and Byakuei is supposed to be so strong that the user has to merge his soul to him in order to keep him sealed and in control.

Waaah great episode, it's really picking up to the beginning events.
Short FB on events that happened to Touru (ep1 guy) and Aoi, I wonder if they will go in deep with the characters from ep1 again, I hope so. (There was also Touru passing by an episode ago).
But great music, directing the pacing is just fine for me.

lol... I get the Anakin Skywalker felling from Yomi...
