Fuck the people who don't like this anime. Go find other ANIME if you don't like it.

Fantastic episode. So, "Shu's Void gathers everything and assumes its weight: Strength, weaknesses, darkness, light, everything". What I expected from Shu.

Inori will probably relieve him from his burden, as seen in the opening. So we could confirm for a good end?

Disliking Guilty Crown and listing all of its bad qualities is popular, I usually just ignore it: you should too.

Confirmed Fate ripoff: Trace on arm and Unlimited blades Works

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that. The whole time she was holding that little suitcase, I was hoping for my boy Segai to show up. Imagining Ayase with the king's power... No, just no. Would get killed in no time.

I love this shit


Dat barrel roll.



I'm pretty sure everyone was aware of the high possibility that Haruka wasn't his real mom on the first episode she appeared. Though I don't see the family resemblance between her and Mana.... Pink... hair? Guess shes probably an experiment of some sort.

Did I say people shouldn't watch this episode? I don't even recall saying that I hated this episode. I remember saying that the people who'd like it are those who are attached to the characters or are action junkies. What more do you want from me?

They want you to praise this animu becuase something good finally happened. Its going to be worse on the last episode where everyone is going to have a bukkae session over this show becuase 1. "Shu vs Gai fight SO AWSUM!!" or 2. "OMG Shu sacrificed himself!! Dis best animu evr!!"

This is the calm before the storm.

Then why don't you sail off into the sunset for greener pastures before the *airquotes* storm hits? You won't be missed.

Did they really have to play the "dying for everyone's sins" card? I knew it was coming, and I really was hoping the directors wouldn't resort to that in order to evoke an emotional response from the viewer.

And I guess the only reason why the Void Genome didn't kill Shu is because he's "The Chosen One." And will we ever find out how the Void Genome was able to regenerate Shu's arm and gave him the power to cure Souta? Probably not.

I guess Shu is planning on sacrificing himself for the sake of saving (primarily) Inori and everyone else... great character development right there.

Sury said:
Overall a very good episode, but how did Haruka escape when he shot at her in the beginning?

Cirris said:
This episode reminds me of Scott Pilgrim climax scene.



Shu has earned the power of Self Respect!! *power up noise*

Segai is such a sadist. This episode was as much about Segai as it was about Shu's revelation. They seem to give him a nice farewell episode by showing him in all his glory. The scene where he tortures and kills the young girl was awkward. It was rather dichotomous of him to be monstrous sadist to everyone, yet he was a completely submissive towards Shu. His death scene was cringe worthy. It sounded sexual almost.

I think Shu "earning the power of self respect" and Segai going out in all his glory is what makes this episode work. It was by far one of the best in the series.

However, while this episode seems to try and justify this anime's messy plot all in one shot, it falls short of it's goal. It's a nice individual piece. But it still doesn't save this entire train wreck of a series.

Ayase seems to be taking the place of Hare as the sweet girl. God, I hope that doesn't mean she's going to die next. Ayase and Tsumugi are untouchable. If either of them die I'm giving the series a 1 final grade out of spite.

Overall, i just hope the remaining characters survive. Though I have a feeling Haruka and Arisa will die towards the end, especially Arisa. She's due to have her own atonement sacrifice to foolishly give Gai one more chance.



WOW, you make a great point. It's like they're actually going to rip off the Bible!! or maybe it's the Matrix with the "chosen one" theme. Though everyone says Matrix was a ripoff of the Bible also. Really, nothing about Guilty Crown feels original the story seems like it slapped together a million different ideas from other series and threw them together. Lately most anime seem to have this compulsion for copying ideas. So, can't really pin it just on Noitamina.

I wonder if Shu dies and then gets resurrected?

I can see it now, "The Church of Shu Ouma and the Funeral Parlor."

Too many anime (including great ones) have done this kind of scene that I don't think it warrants questioning.

whereas the last void genome draws out a weapon and passes everything (i.e. burdens, strengths, weaknesses, darkness, lightness) about that particular person's heart onto Shu.

freezie said:
still all this haters who don't see the greatness in this anime, the reasons people have for not liking it is all the same and so much bullshit. OST is one of the best in anime history, animation is top notch, Even though shu is doing badass things people just whines about him and call him shoe!. Stop watching it if u think its bad instead of talking crap!!
