AnimeFan500 said: Was the reason why Masato saw himself was because he wanted to fight strong opponent. The only one who defeat him was himself?? Another reason I can think of was because he hated himself?? During his backstory, everyone called him names and didn't like the way he was. So he wanted to be stronger. But Kyousuke and everyone on Little Busters accepted him for who he was. Masato wanted to prove he was the strongest as a kid. Something caused him to re-live that experience, and the only one who can take him down was Riki. It wasn't because Riki was Masato or "himself", but because Riki (and Rin) have become stronger and were able to defeat him, and forgive him for the similar rampage and accept that whatever happened was in the past, now that he's calmed down. |
| Masato going berserk. Riki defeating him. Good episode. |

| Well, Masato's already a baka... Since he still a child xD Kengo next |
"Signature removed"   |
| And so the Little Busters has gained a third member with a lot of effort planned by Masato himself What a way to abuse a school symbol the statue The way Riki and Rin lured Masato with those posters all over was amusing Hulk Masato raging around with that rock attached to him was disturbing to see Seeing him carameldansen when he was young was funny It's nice to see his backstory finally Retelling it from his view was kind of odd, he looked like he was high on something I can see Masato cosplayers glued to a statue or mailbox now xD The "Song for friends" at the end was really good Kengo's next! |
| This anime still makes little sense to me. I understand the explanations given, but I don't find them very... logical.. It's really frustrating to watch, as I think I could have liked this anime... maybe. |
| Pretty intense episode, that backstory was also quite lovely, let's see what's next though! |
 |
| That must have been one nasty elbow hit if he could take down Masato in one hit haha. |

| fell asleep twice for this one.. wtf does this shit have anything to do with wtf is going on... fuck.. |
 |
| Well, if we follow Komari picture book, Masato should now disappear, since his problem seem to be solved. Now, it will be Kengo turn. Masato past is kinda sad, in a sweet fun way. The way Kyousuke dealt with him was so warm. It felt like some kind of street worker, helping him to stand up proud. Really contrasting to the Kyousuke we see now. I think it had some deep meaning how Riki reenacted what Kyousuke did with Masato even if he didn't knew he that. It was even the same finishing blow. I get the feeling that he's slowly turning into a real leader, the leader Kyousuke failed to be in the end. |

| Awesome! Great fights in the present and in masato's memories. So emotional and feels so fantastic remember when we made our first friends :) |

| It feels like everyone's memories were wiped? They don't remember being in the Little Busters? Ehh, Masato backstory wasn't as sad as I thought it was going to be. But if they didn't forget how did Masato remember how Kyousuke defeated hin whenn they were children? Things are startig to get confusing! |
| this was the most stupid episode I've ever seen- |
 |
| Well wow, the shit got real there for a bit. For me, the anime only watcher, this episode was epic. BEYOND EPIC O.O The flashbacks was amazingly well done and very interested. The Song For Friends fit the ending perfectly! Probably favorite episode till now. Rin x Riki such a cute couple <3 It was a bit frustrating to see Riki got hit in the face... oh... |
| This was such a mess, what the hell is going on. |
| Gosh I've been wanting answers since ep 3 or so and the only thing I'm getting is more questions. What's with this "unlock your friends" thing? Masato things Riki is now strong enough and he can become his true friend or something?? Omg I've never been so genuine confused before. CAN I GET SOME ANSWERS KEY?! |

| well, that wasn't too bad, had me a little manly tears at the end masato's POV was creepy lol... anyone would go insane when seeing that ready for some kengo |

Random45 said: Vladz0r said: Praise the heavens! An anime-only watcher who understands rather than mindlessly complains. Yeah, it's kinda frustrating that they'd attempt Little Busters without bringing their all to the anime series. Mindlessly complains? Pot calling the kettle black much? Just look at the first page of this to see the severe overreaction from people who have played the VN after watching the episode. It makes me feel ashamed that I have to be lumped up with you guys who complain about every. single. thing. that went wrong. I agree that sticking with Little Melody would have been a FAR better choice than the song they went with, but god damn, you act like they committed a felony by changing it out for something else. It's very annoying to see, and I can completely sympathize with the anime-only watchers who have to deal with you and everyone else's constant whining. Yup i just skip all those pages now as anime only watcher... Just typing my own vision and reading a couple of comments here on the last page.

It only gets more mysterious damn X_X guess at the finsl ep we will now and before that they add more questions LOL Anyways i liked this episode since i think masato is awesome! Hes unique yeah maybe not the brightest but hes still damn funny an awesome in his way. So there is a 2nd world heh maybe even more since masato saw so many copies of himself. What will happen if riki estabilishes the LB group again, will it start again or will therefinally be some piece? And every other member of LB doesnt exist anymore except as a memory? Besides rin ofc |

| Amazing episode! It was very nice to see more about Masato's past, since we didn't get a chance to know more about him so far... The moments he went insane were amazing aswell! The last part left me speechless..it was amazing 5/5 |

| Elbowed the shit outta Masato. So one down, 2 to go before the original busters are back. |
 |
| Next is Kengo then is Kyousuke the final boss? Or is it one of the Little Buster girls then Kyousuke? |
| Masato suddenly going crazy was weird but I really enjoyed that flashback and the parallels with the current Riki. |
 |
| The chase was incredible stupid and a bit cringeworthy ( why didn't he just put off his jacket), but dat end made more than up for it. Masatos past moved me, I think this is my favorite episode so far. |

| Uhm I still don't get what's going on. But I'm starting to think that it won't make any sense in the end. Season 2 is pretty boring so far. |
| That was sad to see Masato going berserk especially with that terrifying visions with everybody having the same appearance as him in his eyes... Riki is doing Kyousuke's work like the 1st time they met Masato, it was great to have that backstory, emotional episode once again. |
 |
| Some parts with masato are super well done (especially the past and ending parts of the episode) but as a whole, I don't care a whole lot which is a shame but that song at the end was fantastic. A perfect match |
 |
| I don't know where this show is going but I know Riki is going to deal with a lot of problems caused by them surprisingly Masato's on a rampage and he's really that strong that it's already a given and he's scary to talk to you just communicate with him once and you're getting punched in the face Glad that Riki is there to outsmart his rampage good job on him on that one I was just confused what's happening in this episode. |
