| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I was expecting a huge fight based on what happened last time in the beginning. But seemed to be more tense with the dialogues than anything else. Oh and Aika's expressions were peculiar to watch. Oh well, I guess the fight part did take place. Nice. Damn, poor Hakaze. RUN, RUN, RUN. Guess, she's too late again. ;.; I will say that this little mini arc so far was okay. I am glad that Hakaze and Aika met. I was also curious on how their interactions would be like and got what I expected it. 5/5. |

| Good episode, I can't say it wasn't predictable though. This is exactly what I thought was going to happen, |

| Just wow the way everything in this show is neatly interwoven in each other is an accomplishment that very few shows can achieve. How elegant. This week's episode just made my outlook on the previous 20 episodes even better than I already liked them. Fuwa Aika killing herself so Hakaze can meet Yoshino/Mahiro so they can kill the Tree of Genesis. As I said up top, Zetsuen ties everything together in such an elegant bow you can't help but just be in awe of it. Also the purposeful reminiscence of theatrical execution only adds to the overall experience of the plot and the character interactions that occur. After Aika only explained half of what she was talking about, I knew that Hakaze would try to stop her out of her feelings for Yoshino/Mahiro and what they went through after her death. God Blast of Tempest.... |
| Interesting episode. I still like Hakaze more than Aika. |

| I think there were better episodes than this but for some reason I enjoyed it more than any of the previous 20. Just 3 episodes left. Can’t wait. |
| Oh Aika, this episode reminded me again why I love you. Safe to click |

Even so, a writer would continue writing as if nobody got it. Not every revelation is targeted at the reader: often it is targeted at the characters themselves and in order to improve the story ("ass-twists" can sometimes hurt it more than obvious choices). |

| Aika is one stupid bitch, just had to said that this had been one trollish series. lol Selfish |

| That fight was... unsurprisingly one sided, still awesome though! Overall I'm happy with that episode, clears lots of questions and it was a pretty good quality episode. |
| No matter what others say, I loved it. Every second of it. Aikas theory makes sense, when you look at it from future perspective. None of it would happen if she didn't die, and many more bad things could've happened. Great episode, Aika once again proving she's one of the best characters in this show. Looking forward to seeing how it resolves in the next 3 episodes. I'm seriously sad there's not going to be second season (well, there's no sense to have it) since this is without a doubt one of the best shows I've seen in a while. |
Fallen_Lullaby said: I absolutely loved the adaptation this time around, they made sure Aika really shined! I absolutely adore her, squeeee! Her brief Sherlock Holmes scene was baffling. This episode answered MOST of the questions. Aika's main motivation is her love towards Yoshino and Mahiro which I find endearing. Aika is seriously one of my favorite female character ever, I love how easily she came to the conclusion that she herself was the culprit, the cause behind her death. And I also love her for willing to sacrifice herself to save Yoshino and Mahiro. She was badass in that fighting scene, she had a lot of time to think about things during that fight XD Her confidence is overwhelming. I still don't really care much for Hakaze, I understand that she doesn't want Aika to die because Yoshino and Mahiro are still suffering because of Aika's death, but if had thought about her own "logic" a little, she would've realized that them suffering is better than them dying. And I still don't see how it would be anymore logical for Hakaze to kill Aika instead of having Aika commit suicide. Either way, Aika's death would serve the same purpose. But it's sad that Hakaze felt that she couldn't do anything to save Aika :/ and that when she was walking away from Mahiro's house, Yoshino ran past her. |
| I found Aika so graceful in this fight. And she is way too powerful than Hakaze.. That end also where Yoshino passed by Hakaze!!! hehe.. really love time travel episodes.. |
| I enjoy episodes like this where it is mainly dialogue driven but the fight was pretty nice as well. Also am i the only one that thought Aika's sword looked like one of the Di-Swords from Chaos;Head? |
 |
| You gotta love Aika for this episode. Cant figure why people complain about it being predictable. This story was not probably intended to be an awesome mistery, but deliver epic characters. As predictable as it was, Aika killed herself without the least trace of doubt, while ALL fucking similar scenes are usually covered in drama in order to seem believable, this one was just mindblowingly straight to the point yet credible and touching. I will probably never be able to praise this show enough, simply because of its weirdness, to some extent. |
| I more or less knew that Aika was mage of Exodus and that she commited suicide,when Samon said that killler wasnt anybody from Kusaribe clan and Mage of Exodus would be only one, who could slip past that"killer findier spell". |
mora404 said: same but they did make aika much more of a.....well she was actually a character for once, all previous instances of her she was nothing more than a means to move the plot, this time she actually had a personality and character to her.....too bad shes probably not gonna have any more screen time here on out.Interesting episode. I still like Hakaze more than Aika. Anyhow loved the episode, and thats coming from a guy thats been disappointed with every single ep since 13. The animation and ost was top notch this episode, just saying this song right here really sold aika's death for me, this magnificently epic, tragic yet hopeful song completly fit the mood of what was going on |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Fuwa Aika is now my favorite female character. |
Fallen_Lullaby said: Even if she did want to bang Mahiro, I don't blame her. I would too if he was real. So yeah, more Aika flashbacks is win. :) *.* THIS ;3 Haters gonna hate. |

| Woahhhh Great episode! I liked then interaction between Aika and Hakaze. Hakaze was freakin' out while Aika was so calm and collected. Also, that punch was priceless u.u Pretty much everybody got trolled by Aika xD She's definitely one of my favorite characters now. I still love the references to Shakespeare. Now I want to see how will Hakaze deal with the Tree of Genesis, and how will Yoshino and Mahiro take the news u.u |

| So well done |
| i cant belive its almost over :( |
| Such an epic episode <3 |

| Aika sacrifice herself to save Yoshino and Mahiro ok that makes sense |
| Loved this episode! But i still don't get one thing though and that's, why did she sacrifice herself in the first place? I mean there had to be one time in a different past where she'd sacrifice herself without Hakaze going back in time and telling her about the future, right? |
bastek66 said: Quite the pocket knife she's packing there. |
 |
| Damn dat preview, looks like Hanemura snapped, and went ape shit on Mahiro and Yoshino for some reason. Aika did mention that he's like a back-up mage who's supposed to replace her after she died, looks like that power is finally coming out. |

| I hope something unexpected will happen at the end. This is too sad and desperate. I really hate time traveling with no effect of changing present. |

|
| Finally, an amazing episode! I might change the rating of this show just because of that episode. |
| Aika don't give damn if she died for the sake of defeating the tree that will destroy civilization. The difference between her and Hakaze power is like Heaven and Earth. Only 3 episodes left, will miss this show when it ends. |
 |
| Next episode is called Fuwa Aika, I like it. |
| Such good animation. Completely engrossing |
 |
| Such awesome story telling. Those who called the series pretentious originally with all the shakespeare quotes must feel differently now ^^. I think they fit well both in terms of exposition/mood as well as plot. Ok so there are arguable a few off lines which may seem a little forced but otherwise, it's done really well imo :) |
Neoclaw said: Loved this episode! But i still don't get one thing though and that's, why did she sacrifice herself in the first place? I mean there had to be one time in a different past where she'd sacrifice herself without Hakaze going back in time and telling her about the future, right? Where's John Titor when you need him? You'd be correct, there has to be an original world line where the future cannot effect the past. That is, if we're taking the chicken and egg paradox into account. Zetsuen probably isn't going by those strict(logical) time traveling rules, so I don't suppose it really matters. |
 |
| damnnn she moved so gracefully in that fight. was so beautiful to watch. love that scene. love her now and probably love this series now. wish it had more of that |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Aika and Hakaze talked first, then what Aika said made Hakaze mad and wanted to stop her, who is stronger. So KajiKaji's character was a backup. Looks like everyone's shocked with the result to the extend that the two friends fight each other. |
