Loli assassin. Talk about an enjoyment killer. I'll try to keep an open mind, but damn, this is one stereotype I abhor.


Hm yeah I agree with you here. I personally just don't want to see any younger characters in this anime. She will probably become helpful and maybe somewhat badass, but I don't like the idea of her being Reiji's partner...solely because I don't like seeing lolis. Hopefully I will like her later on otherwise this is going to be painful.

For some reason seeing Reiji and that loli together really reminds me of Leon the Professional.

I'm starting to wonder if Phantom can take on the whole organisation...

And the new recruit is kinda cute

I think that this episode was better than the last one, because we now understood why he chosed to protect Cal.

It's pretty obvious that he bullshited about her talent and the possibility of becoming a Phantom. But he said that becuase it was the only way to protect her from Inferno without putting himself in hot water.

In my opinion, the reason that he protected Cal is because he have no real reason to live. The last reason that he had to live was to protect Elen, but she ''died''. So by by protecting, he have another reason to live, the reason he was searching for months.

In any ways, I don't think that she have the talent to become an assassin and like other people, I don't want to. But in the preview, he say that she's a genius. Maybe she can be like a strategist, or something like this. She seem really smart.

Yeah, I agree. I like your conclusions. It was pretty lame excuse and he knew it but it was the only one that would work. Should he give them the money they would kill her immediatelly (no witness=no problem). But turning her into assassin - practically choosing that life for her - I think that's one thing he will regret. Life-long suffering... Was it really better than her death?

Now I just wonder why she wasn't shot also and why they wasn't after money (but when you think about purpose of that assassination, it's purpose is pretty clear - to harm the Inferno - so I guess job's done well). And I guess Judy was killed by stray bullets and there is no need to kill civilians as long as they didn't see that female assassin.

Yes this is going to get quite good with Cal now as a sidekick! Let's see what's next.

Hope Reiji isn't going to brainwash Cal. Though it doesn't seem like he needs to.

I'm got this feeling that at the end of this anime Reiji gonna die, and Loli will be new Phantom.

SUPER MEH..I don't like the direction the show is going. I had no idea Elen would be killed off, or supposedly killed off and not make any appearances. I hope this show changes for the better because I am close to dropping it.

That was a pretty interesting outcome here we have, Cal is pretty talented as well.

Reiji's excuses for hiding Cal were hilarious. I'm amazed the murder-hungry Inferno let him off so easy.
