| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I never expected Rei to actually die in the end :( |
 |
| One of the best episodes of the show. Very emotional. Rei started off as a "Oh, this is probably the boring side-kick/rival character" and ended off as a very deep and complex person whom you actually felt for. The character development is this show is just mindblowing. Loving every single second of it. |
| Check out my eurobeat guide. Who knows, you might find yourself a new favourite genre! http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=738669 |
| Like Shin? The hell? Rei never betrayed you you moron... |
| Seems like a waste of an episode to me. Only about 2 minutes of the episode total was worth watching. The rest was chocked full of boring flashbacks. Only thing that got accomplished was the death of Rei. Sure, that's a big deal, but, man, was it a waste of time. |
| it was mostly flashback but the non flashback scenes were so damn good. fuck im going to miss Rei he was such a good character :( |
 |
| Mostly a recap, but it made story-sense due to them being end-of-life flashbacks. Hokuto_no_Fuzz said: Agreed. Rei's memory will forever live on.it was mostly flashback but the non flashback scenes were so damn good. fuck im going to miss Rei he was such a good character :( |
| Never forget, that if you post a topic, you're not allowed to post in it yourself, by order of MAL administration. |
| He was still alive? Oh, ok......well this is kinda awkward xD A little bit annoyed that his last episode was a recap episode (well mostly recap) especially since it showed parts that happened in the previous episode. Looks like Rei's sacrifice was able to change Mamiya's fate from certain death. Just makes him even more of a badass. Now my only question is where the heck do all these villagers keep coming from? Was pretty sure Yuda's men killed them all off, plus there was that flood.... |
 |
| This felt dragged on foreeeeeever, by this point just die already so we can move on to the next arc which from the previews it looks like it. Rei was alright as a character (and you can't hate on his voice actor "Oberstein") but his last arc was boring as shit with both the love story and Yura. |
 |
| See ya Jason, bring on Tim Drake. |
 |
| Nowadays major characters in shounen are plot armored as fuck. This is why I freaking love HnK! |
 |
| Rei's death was part of a recap episode. Are you fucking serious? how did anyone think that was a good idea. |
| I think it was a good idea actually. The episode was entirely adressed upon Rei and his death. Knowing that he is going to die it made sense that he was re-living the past in his thoughts. No story progression for the series but an honorable ending to this important and really good character. Sayonara Rei. |
 |
| Reis death hit one hard and the idea with the recap was actually a nice one,made this episode more powerful. RIP |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Shin shouldn't be in your heart with Rei since he's just asshole Aw Rei, Rei at least did something not like Shin Probably killing Yuda saved Mamiya from death |
"Signature removed"   |
| So Rei is dead now... That was a good recap of all moments with Rei, RIP. The next part starts in the next episode. |
 |
| Rei spending his last moments recapping what has happened so far, goodbye Rei Good thing to know Mamiya won't face certain death because she doesn't see the death star thanks to Rei |
 |
| Let's drag out this death with a recap. Fuck off. |
 |
| As a big fan of Rei, I enjoyed the recaps/flashbacks. RIP Rei, you will be missed. |
| Man this was hard to watch because I get what they were going for with the recap to make it look like he was remembering everything in his final moments, but in the end I was like really another recap no original material? Finally two its because I grew to love Rei so seeing him in pain really hurt my heart. I'm glad Mamiya's fate was altered by Rei's love it would've sucked if she had died too she was too cool a girl. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I get what they were going for, but my god was this bad. It hasn't even been 20 episodes since the last recap. They could've at least made Rei remember things we haven't seen about him, like his childhood, before Airi being kidnapped. Something we haven't SEEN already. The scenes that aren't recap are good, but too few and not worth the 17 min recap... The recaps of this show are pretty bad and the main reason is that they're too frequent. We're seeing stuff from an episode ago ffs. Plus, recap episodes as flashbacks are the laziest form of recaps. |

| Honestly that’s the smartest use of a recap episode I’ve ever seen. Rei was a good character. |
| This whole recap managed to spoil that death. |
