| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Shit. He lived. Crap=( |
| Sorry for grammar mistakes(if any), english is not my native language. Feel free to correct me if you see some. |
| Unless someone like Reishin was smothered, blood-gushing, heart-stopped or w/e he's obviously gonna live from a black hole. Giga-exe...KICK-@$$!!! Keita's root...wimp... |
YuenSan said: Keita's root...wimp... Agreed. |
 |
| What the hell? Keita's not special at all...it's just a "special bond" between the two? That's dumber than dumb. Of course Reishin is alive...why not? I can't even put coherent thought's together I'm so aghast. |
| Thank you for dialing Kurokami! Press "1" for long awaited, but still totally incoherent, magical power-up Press "2" for "you are the anti-Christ who threw the world in ruin, but I'll just leave you with the sorrow of your defeat, 'cause I kinda feel sorry for you" speech Press "3" for random plot-twist to fill the last 8 eps Press "4" to bring back the dead Press "5" for random scene with a girl shoving cucumber in her mouth or Press "#" and wait for our operator.. |
| That was amazing episode agreed and perfectly logical if you think what the contract and contractee are all about and also how Kuro is the heiress blood line related member of the Lion God tribe hence the cyclic flow of Terra and double exceed marks. Also Keita clearly knows that minus root, selfishness doesn't lead anywhere and that guy was his friend and that they had the same sort of goals but achieved them in a different manner. Keita is "dead" at least Terra wise. He is now supported by Kuro's Terra and because of her lineage, close feelings between them too, her true power has been "awaken" like how in humans how we only use like 5% of our brain power but heck awesome fight scenes and music and drama ftw. I'm curious why Reishen is so powerful though without a contractor. I miss Steiners contractor though and the lady in the F40 (who had a sub) Overall Goals Reishen - destroy the stones controlling fate, destroy/rule the world Kuraki (failed) - remove Reishen, influence the world with master roots, keep subs away from roots once enough influence in world established. Keita - Defeat Reishen, destroy the fate system and let people decide their own fate in life. |

| Well about 8 episodes before the end. Its a different arc from the manga which is kinda refreshing I think and at least these episodes have plenty of decent fights with hints of mystery (what happened to Akane, the super terra girl, the noble ones which are defectors) Also nice cliffhanger with the holy land and a wild looking reishen appearing and also how it showed it to be a global event e.g. Paris. |
| OMG THE HOLY LAND, and wow i knew it =he was somehow still alive =D dang each episode and fight it always looks likes it's Keita's last battle but somehow comething crazy happends and of course they win XD, dang i think i have to have this anime prized for it's amazing twisting of plots, Am3692 said: YuenSan said: Keita's root...wimp... Agreed. LOL @ that , he just ran away watch him reappear somehow thanks to Kurokami's amazing plot twists lolz |

| Nice ep. Finally used something instead of mega exe >_> |
 |
| The end was good with Holy Land appearing. But otherwise... |

Bagonirix said: Nice ep. Finally used something instead of mega exe >_> I thought every character only had one exceed lol? but meh it was nice to see her giant punch, also before double exceed, her entire body was on fire? |
| Kira in my Kurokami. I approve. |

| wow that was a pretty good episode. Not was good as the past two but still good. Sucks that Akane's sub died. I honestly thought they where gonna add more depth to that but I guess not. I wonder if Akane is on the island waiting for Keita and crew to save her :P. |

| Good episode. Keita and Kuro pretty much will have to spend the rest of their lives together now that Kuro's tera is keep him alive. I wonder how Akane would feel about that? ;) I am kinda hoping now with the double exceed crests that Keita and Kuro can pull off something better than Mega or Giga Exceed.... |
 |
| Just had a thought...Akane's sub gets saved by Reishin like Kuro saved Keita. |
noteDhero said: Just had a thought...Akane's sub gets saved by Reishin like Kuro saved Keita. hmm.. can't really see that one happening since Reishin and Akane sub didnt have a contract to begin with, and she must be all nice and bloated after a few hours sleeping with some fishies. But then again this IS kurokami so nothing is out of the question, heck let's watch them bring back all the people that died in the first ep, that would be a plot twist. |
Pantyshots are a different matter entirely |
| Hmm interesting episode. I'm surprised noone has mentioned the brief scene after Keita dies, that depicted Kuro in evil bitch insanity mode... was that a flashback or something? She clearly wasn't pissed off when the double synchro showed up. |
 |
| Ah so that's where giga exe is. Was wondering where it went in the fight with the other guy and Shinobu on that island. Common sense wise, if tera is being transfered from the mototsumitama into the contractee, shouldn't the mototsumitama be weakened instead of strengthened? That's srsly kinda stupid, since theres no gain or loss in tera, so the mototsumitama should have the same strength she has before the synchro. The main reason synchro powered them up was coz of the surge in tera? so this really is contradictory. The animators should have thought up a better storyline, and if they can't just follow the manga. |

And possibly Kuro in evil bitch insanity mode as QuantumFluxx mentioned. |
| Well I don't see any mystery with Kuro suddenly getting more power(the super insanity bitch mode as QuantumFluxx said, ha it will be interesting if Keita and Kuro become the new enemies) and then sharing it with Keita to bring him back from the brink of death. And also her getting more power has something to do with the quality of their synchro and tera control("deep" & "dense")(looking at it again I guess this happened before Keita almost died but still can't count it out). wont be surprised if zaon47 is right. This show has been entertaining ever since Keita stopped being a stupid sob. |

| Ehh.. I wasn't really surprised that Keita lived. I was actually kind of hoping that he'd die so that there would actually be something unexpected happening in this series. But I was wondering when the advantages of Kuro being the princess would finally come in handy. It's about time with that one. |

Keita didn't have a contract with Kuro either. I think noteDhero's idea could happen. Either that or Reishin forces a contract with Akane. |

| It was actually good up until when Keita died. I knew up until this point something like this was going to happen, but the whole way Keita came back seemed particularly contrive. That's it, oh terra is flowing between them now and somehow it's more powerful than it was before so they can beat everyone in a few punches before the episode is over, and leave Kuraki crying on the ground. It was just way too much. |
| I enjoyed the action ^^ of course they have to add "oh know he's dead oh wait...not" in here. All in all though I enjoyed it ^^. Oh and I lol'd at the part where Keita's root ran away xD |
 |
| Some would say it cliche but at least they made it fast paced and cool. The strength is about synchronisation and potential unlocked by the power of the heart or whatever. Also if everyone had to follow fate, then kinda pointless trying to destroy it right since fate would have intervened and stopped Reishen? |
| I was really spinning on him to stay dead. Keita, not Reishin. |
 |
| This ep was mainly haxs.. Kaita died (hax revive), after death (hax damage/attack)... come on... we dont need this hax tool -tribal crests.. |
 |
| ok well my first post on the kurokami boards since ep1 since i ended up getting distracted and just leaving the series at ep4 for months. (well i went to japan in some of that time so it was worth it!!) but i finally caught up to this point. I personally have been really enjoying this series since episode 10. The series had some major faults earlier but it has picked up a lot now. I will admit there is still some bad things about it and it was quite cliche in some ways but i think they have provided some brilliantly animated fights that are very entertaining to watch, some interesting plot ideas as well as twists, and various other things. I know people think that keita being revived was dumb, but well it was very unlikely they would kill him there. And think about it people, at least he wasen't revived from the power of love! He actually has a logical reason to still be living, and that's the fact his tera is now connected with kuro. It pretty much means Kuro is now Keita's life suply. If she dies, he dies. We don't exactly know how they formed it this connection though. Maybe like some people think, it's some sort of thing unique to Kuro's tribe? maybe it is their bond? maybe they were able to connect because of Keita's ability to control his tera and being a sub? Curious if they will explain it though. And well i knew Reishin would survive, but im curious how hes going to be. Obviously hes going to be be/appear as the bad guy but maybe he has the same goals as Kuro and Keita? Also i would quite like to see the possibility of Akane being rescued like Keita and forming a contract with something (maybe Reishin who knows). Then again i wouldn't mind seeing Akane die, i freakin hate her. Hmm i think that's enough for now, also since ep17 will be subbed any day now i bet. |

| I'm pretty sure it's the power of love. Everyone keeps commenting on the depth of their bond and how that affects his use of Tera. Personally, I think that's because of Kuro's persistence in protecting Keita and less about Keita in any way. If this were Akane or anyone else, the bond would be just as deep. But it's love, so what can we do? |
| hmm i still don't think it's the power of love. I think there's a possibility something like that formed because of a true bond between them. Think about it, most contracts are made for power. There's was made for his survival. Maybe the fact that the contract was what saved his life has part in it? |

I don't think the other contracts are like that. |
| I am actually going to rate this episode with as "loved it!" Just because it was so nice to see that stupid smirk wiped off of Daichi's face! |

I had a feeling that Keita would have lived throughout the series. It would be a shocker though if he died. We'll have to see. (: |
| oh no its the holy land!!!! |

QuantumFluxx said: Eh? I thought that was Reishin, transferring his own terra to those two so he could get rid of the guy who sealed him, so he can revive and kill ****ing everyone.Hmm interesting episode. I'm surprised noone has mentioned the brief scene after Keita dies, that depicted Kuro in evil bitch insanity mode... was that a flashback or something? She clearly wasn't pissed off when the double synchro showed up. |
| The whole time...I was saying....he's a main character...he can't die =_= I actually wanted him to die as well...would of been a super plot twist Kuro just went Super Saiyan!!!!! |
   |
| it makes less and less sense but it is still entertaining so it's ok i guess. I expected MC to get revived somehow. It was pretty much predictable -> usual part. It would suck if main guy died in half of the anime anyway so np.. but what i don't get is why all ppl "died" while just main and secondary chars stayed unaffected ? :P Guess there's another definition of being "chosen" aside from being master root...

( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| Holy shit well at least we know that he is still alive but now the question is why but i guess will just have to wait n see but now on to the next episode and i hope it gives us more answers. |
 |
| Manage or Change .. Fate . The Ideal world is up-to-date . Synchronization leveled up !! Awesome exchange of Exceeds !! Great Episode . The Boss is back ~ . |

| if Keita got revived then I guess it makes sense that Reishin is too. It's a bit of a shame, since Reishin isn't an interesting or nuanced character, unlike Kuraki. "Pure Land" magically appears and chokes the planet to death with satanic background music. Doesn't seem very pure to me. |
