| Oh Sumire, what a complex character she turned out to be. Maybe she should realize not everything in life goes her way. Hell of an episode. It did feel like Nene's life was really on the line this episode. Aoi and Akane also has one of the more charming relationships I've seen from this franchise. |
 |
| Oh my god my jaw’s on the floor after that ending??? Top 3 TBHK episode ever and I’m standing on that. Sato Minoku and Shunichi Toki were incredible today and gave me nonstop goosebumps. I love everything about this, but the ending makes me feel like this is going to get so dark π I wanna give Sumire the biggest hug omg. The way she’s basically been living a nonstop nightmare trying to get number 6 to come see her again, repeating the same timeline over and over again with her death.. all alone.. her mental strength is incredible. I haven’t read the manga yet so idk number 6’s full motivations, but it seems like a lot of similarities between their relationship and Akane and Aoi’s where one side just feels stronger than the other.. the way she and nene are already best friends.. I love them sm lol. The Aoi and Akane scenes tho?? Akane absolutely eviscerated her ass, but she needed to hear the truth. Relationships go two ways and you can’t just get mad at everyone not connecting with you if you don’t really try to connect with others. You can’t see even when Akane snaps on her, she’s very appreciative to finally have someone tell her true truth about herself and it’s a mix of sadness and happiness that someone actually notices all those details about her. THE PALM KISS AFTER REAFFIRMING HIS LOVE??! HELLO?? Is he crazy? And we almost got a kiss goddamn it why’d the president have to walk in and ruin it lmao. “I wish I could say I liked you too” after all that confessing, crying and hugging.. HUH?? AND WAIT WTF WHY IS AOI CRYING AND NOT BACK IN THE REAL WORLD?? Hanako’s face cracking too?? This is about to break me isn’t it lmao. Everyone’s hyping up this “severance” I’m not emotionally ready |

<He> is the worst. What do you see in that guy? I don't know. Something tells me we can't trust her. As the kettle said to the pot - I mean, have you guys looked in a mirror lately??? Geeeeeez. π€£π€£π€£π€£ Once again: direction, voice acting, music, everything's phenomenal. ππ» I can't with this series, it might not offer anything groundbreaking as such, but week after week what we do get is just. Quiet perfection. Like it just quietly explores relationships, amidst all the drama and shenanigans. |

| It would seem Hanako gets destroyed by fulfilling a wish someone made to him? Or perhaps it serves as an atonement? Unless there was another reason for the crack |
 |
| Oh man, that Aoi and Akane scene was something else entirely, that was so good. Aoi drops this sob story about no one wanting to be friends with her and hiding things from her, but then Akane tears all that down and tells her how it really is, Akane never looked so suave in his life lol. And honestly I can’t blame him for thinking Aoi crying is cute, it was pretty damn cute lol, but really it was so nice seeing him break through her walls and really get through to her, these two would be so damn sweet together if they ever truly became a couple, if only it were possible… because Aoi ended up staying behind and not crossing over with Akane and Teru (speaking of Teru, somehow I never expected him to be the one to come to the rescue, he was cool here). I was confused at first, but Hanako mentioned at the end that she traded lives with Nene, if so, DAMN they really gave us that fantastic Aoi x Akane moment and said “lol nope she’s already dead”, they’re mean for that one, I really hope there’s a way to change Aoi’s fate because that’s pretty cruel, I wanted Nene to live but not like this. One more thing regarding Aoi tho, after the reveal of what she’s truly thought all this time while she’s been friends with Nene, did Number Six actually do anything to her personality? I’m thinking maybe not, but perhaps they’ll eventually reveal that because there was no mention of it here. Back to Hanako, Nene and Sumire, I pretty much hit the nail on the head last week didn’t I lol, not that it was hard to predict but I’ll take the browny points for that one. So there’s a chance removing the seal from Sumire won’t kill her huh? That sure would be nice but there’s no way to be sure, for now tho it’s nice that they took Sumire with them out of that endless loop, but damn Hanako is about to disappear or something? That would suck but let’s see what happens. |
| I couldn't stop thinking about this when Ao got grabbed: I thought Sumire looped got resolved pretty easily and also fixing Nene's life span issue, but at a major cost to Hanako. This best not be the end of my boy. |

Adairillya said: Last episode revealed that the potion that was given to Aoi was one that removed her fear of death. So she was still herself, just that it made her do things she normally wouldn't have done exactly because of that lack of fear. Oh I thought it was said that it removed the “clutter”, not specifically the fear of death, but understandable if so, it’s possible I misunderstood |
| Love that we got the backstory of Aoi and Akane. Aoi dropping her story about not being able to make friends, Akane saying well its your fault for not trying. And the two end up getting c*ckblocked by Teru. We get more moments with Hana x Nene. Just love their interactions together with sumire. But damn that ending/cliff hanger. Hopefully will have more explanation next week cuz there’s so much to unfold with Aoi, Nene’s lifespan and whats happening with Hanako. |
| The development between Akane and Aoi was great this episode, Aoi easily became my favourite character in this episode. The entire idea behind Aoi's character is actually something I can relate to quite a bit. But man that final scene was hard to watch, the blond guy and probably Aoi herself knew that she was going to die there. Man it really sucks because I really started loving her this episode. And supposedly Nene's issue is now resolved. Honestly Hanako really is quite a bad guy when you look at it. But I mean he done it for Nene and that in itself is quite admirable. Maan why'd Aoi have to die brooo... |
Noooo the ending you can’t do this to Aoi after just She and Akane really just confessed to each other it’s heartbreaking ughh. The confession part was so good first time I’m seeing Akane under a new light I dunno so handsome always be so serious, please  |

@Sondfer Crunchyroll translations may play a part in this misunderstanding.
Sumire, Aoi and Nene are all "Kannagi"/"Oracles"/"Priestesses". (Before you ask, Nene is the only Kannagi that is not from the Akane family.) It's a tad hard to understand, but essentially as both Nene and Aoi are Kannagis, their lifespans were essentially switched by having Aoi die early instead of Nene, Aoi's remaining lifespan transferring over to her.

| @Adairillya That makes me wonder, what if Aoi also exited with Akane? Would she instantly die? Anyway this is such a mess and Nene won't let that fly, they will go back for her for sure. |
| Aoi and Akane moments were very strong, too bad we didn't get the kiss. Feels bad for Sumire overall and now that ending is not reassuring between Hanako and Aoi especially the the crack on Hanako during the very last scene, hmmm |

@Zudoba I thought we might've seen that crack sometime in S1, but I was binging that, so I may not have remembered those details. Akane (or is it Aoi? That's one of the most confusing intentional character naming conventions that probably only works well in Japanese) isn't done with, but I don't think the source material is done. Or we'd still need another season or 2
| @holdingnothing Yeah, there may have been a crack in S1, but I also binged it and can't remember. Either way, I'd love to have the rest of the story animated or at least catch up to the source. |

Adairillya said: Ah I see, I didn’t make the connection that what Nene was given was the same as what Aoi was given, thanks for the clarification.Yeah, it's the same thing. Last episode the villager drugged Nene with the same kind of drink which she described as "removing the fear of death". Aoi's "unnecessary clutter" that was removed was exactly the fear of death. In essence, she was always troubled by what she described in this episode, and in a drugged state where that fear is nonexistent she considered that her solution is her own death, and her actions in that state were fueled by wanting Nene & Akane to hate her (and she went overboard again because of that lack of fear of death) |
| FANTASTIC episode in every way possible!!! Can't wait for next week's episode because that cliffhanger was a killer. |
 |
| the story is more deep |
| This episode was too "big brain" for me. Between Akane using reverse psychology + some mental gymnastics to get his girl and Hanako making an off-screen 4D chess move to prevent Nene's early death, I felt lost during most of the episode's runtime. . . . ... or I just didn't sleep well last night. |
| I guess I did right by holding until today for this episode and the one that comes in a few hours. FUUUUUUCCCCC... I'm just going to watch the remaining episode of Takopi and get very depressed, even though all the series I was watching until now were all cute, funny, and all. |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| That talk with Aoi and Akane before Teru ruined it had me rooting for them and actually sympathizing with Aoi... but ofc, all good things come with a bad, and now she’s gone. And from the look of things, maybe Hanako is too soon. |
 |
| That Aoi and Akane scene was beyond vile. So Akane is not just an obnoxious, harassing stalker but outright abusive... Aoi should have filed a restraining order against him long ago. The whole story having sexist undertones like that is making me consider dropping it. Well, hopefully, they won't meet again at least... |
| Wow, Aoi and Akane are really peak romance. Amazing episode, so much emotions. Also, Sumire is RIka Furude or some sort ? |
