"Broken child"? Hmm....
>Everyone can become heroes. That talk with Umeda-san about idealism and stuff was kinda interesting I guess. Changing the world isn't so damn easy, you know?

I keep forgetting that Rui is a trap. Poor guy..

Oh and Hajime looks cute in a ponytail. JUST SAYING.Ofc, she's badass to be a hero/Gatchman. Decent episode with the tunnel drama. Dat cliffhanger...

I'll look forward to seeing what happens next time~

I guess he wants Rui to do more or something? I need subs for this.

He was relaying a message from Sousei X (Rui's A.I. assistant). But yeah Sousei X is Berg Katse's leader in the orginal series.

Utsu-tsu is getting cuter by the episode.



That scene where Rui dropped in with all the CROWDS was pretty cool.

Rui looked surprised when she saw Hajime's bird. I wonder what she knows about Gatchaman, or if she was one before.
Many possibilities. This show is keeping a pretty good mysterious feel to it.

Didn't she previously mention that Gatchaman don't exist?

HA! Joe didn't die after all. I was actually expecting him to stop the fire, but I guess not. Sure we don't see him after the explosion but lets just give that a minute.

Also, props to Hajime for asking the burning question, "Why can't Gatchaman operate in the open". If only she was a bit more couth about it, it might all go over better.

Hajime is bleeding from her mouth and on the side of her face and still keeps a smile. All I could think at the moment was expecting her to say those magic words: "Bird Go!"

The rest of the episode is meh except for the part where Rui tries to bring one of the hundred to reason. And he doesn't listen. Just like most people, when they get power they want to go up the stairs of life using it and it ends up corrupting their minds... well played.

Utsutsu was sooo kawaiii in that scene <3

Loving Hajime. Her ponytail was cute. And I love how she always says "Hajime-su" XD
She was BA at the end. Bleeding and all that but charging without caring at all.

Really Dat cliffhanger was awesome.

Loved Rui's conflict and his entrance was pretty epic! Like a BOSS.

Can't wait for nxt ep. This is getting better and better.

And Damn Miyano seems to be enjoying his role as Berg lol XD

So like, does this look like a young Hajime to anyone else?


What does that make this guy?


That's right.
CROWDS ACCESSES AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE HAJIME IS YOUNGER, JOE IS HER DAD, JJ IS BERG, AND SUGANE IS A JUNGLE GYM!!!
Or maybe Hajime has relatives, that works too.

Is it wrong for me to find Rui-Rui very attractive as a girl? I love his outfit when using the Crowds power! Dat red and black combi <3

Berg Katze seems to enjoy trolling a lot, nice reference/foreshadowing to "Sousai X" there, and also pretty nice job at getting the Gatchaman crew to think of Rui-Rui as the villian instead of himself - I was totally expecting Berg to reveal himself like he did to Jou but I guess he had better ideas XD

That aside, I wonder what the heck happened to O.D in this episode, its the first time we don't see him around at all. Aww well, all the cute/funny/awesome Hajime scenes makes up for it :D

And that Cliffhanger!!! Finally Rui meets Hajime o w o

Dude, did you not see the red paper bird burst into flame. RED! that's the color of Joe's Notebook. Its not bullet proof but that's just how fan theories work.
Can someone list all the colors of people? I don't feel like looking it up myself.
Joe is Red, Hajime is White, Pai is Pink, that's all I know.

It was a good episode with Rui. I find him far more interesting than the Gatchaman team.

Members of the Hundred are probably the original creators of GALAX and X, alongside Rui. Not surprisingly, they knew about Rui's power of Crowds, and they have hoped to use his Crowds for their own ambitions. Rui did not choose the best group of people to hang out with. That Demon Trickster has obviously planted seeds so that Rui would have to become the antagonist. I really sympathize with Rui's ideals. He has a pure heart and a noble cause. Ironically, human's greed will set doom to his world.

I'm doubtful about that being the true nature of Rui's power.

Kinda shocking Umeda is double faced. That execution was brilliant. Hajime's grandstanding is getting annoying even if she is right. Since it's against team play, she better leave the team to act alone. A big quake is going to occur? Curious to see next episode.

I love how this show is keeping me on my toes with all these twists and these conversations about idealism and power etc. Such good social commentary.

Well, Berg does has JJ's note making powers and JJ did call him a "Bird with Broken Wings" or something earlier on, so his symbol could be a sign of him being a Fallen Gatchaman...as for Rui, his Note symbol is somewhat similar to the 'eye' part in Berg's icon as seen in the OP scene which would make sense considering Berg made it:



As for why Pai-Pai and Jou has a slightly different symbol than the others - either the animators made an error and cbd to change it, or it has story significance someday.

It was a beautiful vision, but there's so much variation between people that expecting everyone would be happy from that really does seem like madness. But it is a kind of madness I could enjoy.

And in a way Rui does match up with Hajime. Wanting people to be happy and work together. Only Hajime recognizes people do come with different views and wants. Good character foil is good. :D

I have never seen the original series before, but that theory sounds interesting and slightly possible actually - would like to see what would happen if it was real.

@KiddKon: 28th August, the ED song is inside the OST as well - http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=MED-CD2-13301

Did anyone notice that strange yellow bird with blue spots on the wings during JJ's scene? I wonder what meaning does it hold for it to follow the white bird (which we know is Hajime) - it could be symbolising Rui and Hajime's relationship further on in the series....

Thinking some more, the "eye" symbol is diamond shaped, which relates to Berg's "tail". Seems so obvious now that I'm feeling kinda stupid...

I just re-watched the last few minutes of the episode and I realized that the artists wasted a great opportunity to show us some of Hajime's massive chest as her left shirt strap dangled - all we got were a couple of tantalizing glimpses! <g>

I feel like I'm one of the few that is still confused about the story. I suppose I have a general grasp of what's going on, but not really...

On another note, this anime has moments I just absolutely love, like when Hajime transformed at the end. I love the opening and ending too. Gets me excited. :)

The last few minutes were really intense! Hajime was injured pretty badly and was still determined to go and help out. Rui eventually relies on the Crowds power and finds out about the existence of Gatchaman. :3 First half was pretty slow but picked up in the second half. :)
