----------------------------------------
Talking dog, who doesn't believe that Frey attacked him. "Promised Children"? And they are created? Yaya got attacked by Nobu's character/ "his father". First enemy "saved" her, though.

Looks like the lady orders him to do something that would cause war. Fight begins and Nobu's character vs. main guy. He hesitates.

Decent episode I guess, though some additional details wouldn't have hurt like Yomi threatening Raishin that he(she? it?) will bark to sound the alarm and Raishin saying if Yomi planned to do that it would have done so in the first place.
I kinda facepalmed at that part where Raishin was shot in the left shoulder. It's like it bounced off him or something. And Yomi should have been sliced in half there instead of just electrocuted.
The fight was pretty good though. Raishin fighting alongside Yaya. That last part was pretty stupid I guess even for him. Ah well. On to part III of the arc.

Irori insert pic. Nice, though I was expecting her kimono to at least be undone a bit at the ending part. The only thing that changed was that she smiled. I am disappoint.

This episode was pretty good, even better than ep. 3 which I thought was the best episode thus far. Honestly, it's not like it's doing anything original and there are certainly parts where it fell into using gimmicks to stir up emotions, but this episode definitely got to me. If only they could go one episode without Yaya's possessive drama nonsense...

I'm not sure that I quite understood that dialogue between Shouko and Raishin other than the fact that she's ordered him to take the dog's circuitry though. In any case, this fight is shaping up to be pretty decent. I hope they start to explain what each of Yaya's moves does, but that's not totally necessary. On a final note, is Raishin getting seriously injured going to become a pattern on serious battles from this point? Hahaha

It was solid and intense, much better than the last episode. The background story of Yomi was touching. Frey and Raishin each seem torn between duty and morality.

So his next mission is to be Cannibal Candy on Ravi, that's asking allot.

Good episode, but damn this anime likes it's cliffhangers way to much, I get that he wants to protect Yaya, but if he dies she is a goner.

Still wondering wtf Raishin's command do to Yaya. All I can guess is he sends her mana to make her stronger but I'm sure there's more to it. I kinda wished they explained the mechanics of the battle system in this show, at least for Yaya.

Hey guys, can someone explain to me why Raishin faced off with Loki in the first fight? I mean, he was supposed to battle Frey, who is ranked 99th, not her top-tier brother. When did they manage to trade places?

It's becoming normal for this series to end almost every episode with either Raishin or Yaya bleeding.

Damn all these cliff hangers, now I have to wait a week for the outcome of this fight. And as mentioned above, why is he fighting Loki instead of Frey?...

Anyway nice episode, very action packed though it makes me wonder how far in the tournament Raishin will get before the anime ends, I mean it's only 6 more episodes.

Yes it was good episode, but Yaya still annoys me too much.Some scenes with her made me facepalm, not like its something new.
Can't wait to see what happens to Raishin in next episode.His life force is being drain away, and he is all injured + now this big sword wound.Looks serious.

There hasn't been any explanation as far as I know but it makes much more sense in the Japanese text and if it was left untranslated(in FFF's case).
I'm not fluent in moon though but I'll try to explain from what I understand.

Basically, Raishin's commands are fighting style + number of magic units supplied + formation. The first word he always says are Yaya's fighting style corresponding to the Fuurinkazan. You will notice that when he shouts the command, the light effects sort of match its element; Suimei(吹鳴」) is water and color blue. Shinkan(森閑) is forest and color green. Kouen(光焔) is fire and color red. Tenken(天嶮) is mountain but I don't know how it's related to being yellow and the first Kanji is 'heaven' but whatever.

48 Whistling Thrusts is Suimei Shijuuhachishou(吹鳴四十八衝). You can interpret this command as 'blow away the opposition with 48 units of mana'.

Don't take my word for this. Here's the Japanese wiki(contains spoilers of course) for anyone fluent in moon so they can explain better as this is just from what I read on another site.

This. Why use your indestructible (see title) mecha-weapon which can be healed near-instantly by mana transfer? Taking a humongous sword head (or rather, back) on works much better for Raishin! Well, the guy lives up to his academic ranking.

sigh, just reread the manga, because the anime did not explain me few things (like suddenly he is appearing as 99th in stead of her)
oh well, at least i know what kind of big twist is coming soon ^_^

EDIT: ^ to the one who commented abouve me: this is because the sword would have cut through her like butter, he realized it earlier, this is why he try to save her instead, because he doesnt want her to die like the dog earlier. the reason how etc will be all explained probably next episode

Lots in episode 6! Sad that the dog died >.<

Anyways, I wonder who's Father Time, who Shoko mentioned, and why the teacher tried to bribe the doctor. Also curious to see if Raishin will do Shoko's bidding of taking out the circuit. Right now my gut feeling is he'll go against her orders. And it looks like Raishin developed a phobia for Yaya getting hurt after Yomi's death. I hope he'll be able to get over it soon. Nasty cut at the end too :\

Question ... if Frey's parents were killed, then who was the man she was talking to in episode 5? She referred to him as father if I remember correctly.

I'm guessing he's the one operating Divine Works. Kind of highlights what a sick [bleep] he is with all the experiments he's doing and killing off the kids' parents just cause they have high affinity to mana.

It was kind of funny when Yaya still had the time to slip in a little insult right after Charl tried to heal her. Even after seeing Raishin all battered she still has to pull that clingy jealous girlfriend act. Oh well, she won't be Yaya if she doesn't act like that.

RIP Yomi :(

Yep, most definitely.

Hm, maybe Loki took Frey's place to finish off Raishin himself? Frey may not be strong enough to beat him.

Anyway, as expected another cliffhanger, and the one I thought would happen too. Doesn't want Yaya to have to go through the same pain that Yomi did.

Good episode all round

After the fact that Yomi just died Raishin has gotten a bit too emotional. He doesn't treat Yaya as a simple tool or doll. Add this to the fact that he had a past where his own brother killed all of his loved ones it's understandable why he would try to block that attack. Doesn't matter whether logically it would have been better if Yaya took it instead of him. It might seem stupid and in a purely logical sense it is but it's not that you can't see where Raishin is coming from.

I remember in the manga Raishin was surprised to see Loki instead of Frey. Loki used his family command to prevent Frey from coming and substituted for her. Weird that they'd leave that out considering they even announce #99 vs #100 right before the battle starts.

So in other words, those with Ban Dolls will actually have to feed their dolls with their own life-force...?

Or you can select other humans to let the Dolls feed on them, right?

It's unbelievable what a bunch of stupid this anime is...

So killing or beating Raishin is so important for Freyr because she wants to save the dogs... and yet still she only uses such overly moe attempts to do it and keeps her automata from actually hurting him? She can't be that dumb, can she?

The main character getting a graze wound on every shoulder at the same stop instead of somewhere actually vital... really now?!

In every episode those overly emotional reactions by every character to everything gets really annoying and doesn't makes sense.

And... oh my god... shut the hell up already, Yaya.

I thought no.99 is Frey not Loki ??
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I thought so too. I'm confused now. I should check the earlier episodes.

EDIT: Oh apparently there's a reason for it being Loki instead.
