Akane sure has a lot of Terra^^ there were some minor battles and we get to see some past storylines as to why Reishin did what he did :) the ending was pretty good :D

Wow. Does the creator really think that he was being original with this twist? This was a laughably bad episode. I cracked up as soon as that music started towards the end. But again, there was some good animation in spots, so I guess that's all to hope for from this show.

I liked this episode, but does anyone else think that the new arrivals look like characters from Witchblade?

I loved the first 10 minutes (and when I say love I mean how bad it was and typical Kurokami The Animation style) how the creators show something completely random leave it without an explanation and then proceed to follow into an action sequence. It was nice however to get a little explanation as to why Reishin is doing all this, but ultimately it was unoriginal and terribly cheesy. Then of course the ending... WTF!?!?... really? Is that really all that the creators could be bothered to to come up with... someone please tell me the manga isn't this bad... I was looking forward to reading it. I also agree with NoteDhero when he said that the animation was nice in select areas but I think it was pretty much in vain. 4/10 episode

Well the creators of the anime explained why Reishin did what he did, why didn't he make a contract with Yuki, and why he offered a contract with Kuraki. Pretty funny how only 3 masagami were causing havoc for the entire world.

As for what HawthroneKitty said
is agreeable.

and they completely turned the series around in one episode. that was...um, interesting. a serious turn of events for one episode, kind of unbelievable given the way the story has progressed. that was just odd. it could have continued as it was with only four episodes to go.

Anime is tottally different than the manhwa/manga is(anime's story line is only based on original work, and it differs in almost every detail), so you can go ahead and read it, cause it is better than it's anime adaptation.

i honestly liked this episode, i didn't actually predict that twist and it was interesting to see why Reishin has been doing all this. Unlike most people i think this series really turned itself around from being crap ages ago.

I liked this episode. Sure we already knew Reishin was gonna turn out to be a good guy and hints where starting to drop that Kuro had some bad in here, but overall I think it was a pretty good twist. The whole back story about why Reishin did the things he did was great. I'm happy they didn't just give us a bullshit explanation.

That was actually quite awesome episode, I for one didn't see that twist coming. The past of Reishin and Kuro were very interesting too. I'm actually quite glad I didn't drop this.

can't say that I expected that one despite what others called "a foreseeable twist." I guess now I can forgive Akane and Reshin now. Now I want to see the last episodes. :P

And all this time i expected Masagami to be a single entity with a male-like appearance. Best twist for me in this episode.

To be honest, predictable twist. It did keep me interested though instead of pausing and going off to do something else, so points for that.

Now it all makes sense as to who had what intensions.

These final episodes are really getting good. I have to say that Kuro turning out to be the Masagami isn't really that surprising. Though I didn't expect the other two.

well that was predictable.

Reishin never seemed like such a bad guy.

The Clan was stupid.

plus Yakumo saw it at the wrong time.

In my opinion this show has a good story with less explanation.

Was this supposed to be some amazing twist? Shallow rationalisation from a murderous megalomaniac who willingly unleashed an apocalyptic evil on the land solely to achieve his sadistic, nihilistic worldview. He wasn't trying to protect Kuro either. He thought he succeeded in killing her an episode ago.
