XD) !!! :D Thoughts ----> You know I've been berating this whole series from the time I watched the first episode but the last episodes I've watched so far (episode 7 & 8).......I'm truly astonished at how good it is. Episode 08 especially.....the ending scene was incredibly emotional for me.......damn It's not a matter of liking Mei or not, she was already dead (killed by the butterfly kid), so letting her "live" after the fact would only pose more problems for everyone. The butterfly kid could just have her come back to life and attack everyone again. Yomi put her out of her misery which is the only proper thing to do in that situation. Boo for Yomi dieing. That happened way to fast. |

Yeah, Boo for Yomi dying but you know she could have dodged those with her intuition just by jumping backwards and like a lot of people say, Nuu would have been better to use yet Yomi did not use the beast yet she could. Guess the attack got her by surprise big time. |

Actually, when you stop and think about it, does anyone actually stands a chance against him? He killed the previous user of Byakuei (Kagura's mother), if Yomi's flashback is any indication, as well as Mei, and now Yomi (quite easily I might say). And he can he can send near-dead people on a rampage using that stone. Talk about being an overpowered spirit. |

I mean his past seems to be one clue, also the other clue is that his motives might have to do with his family. |

| First post! Yay! Well, been watching Ga-Rei-Zero and I liked it. At first I thought "WTF" when the storyline shifted from future to the past, and now with this episode, we can clearly see where all this is going. I gotta say Mei deserved it. Period. The plot of the series is getting better and better, the script is good (altough I would like some dialogs to change..) and it seems like this is going to be the best anime this season. It's not the best anime I've seen, but still is the most entertaining one (along with Shikabanehime Aka). Also... anyone knows the name of the song or artist on the duel? |

No, but that song may be most likely in the OST of this series. Also I do not think Mei deserved it. She was trying to kill that evil kid and the kid got to her. The kid then used her emotions against her with the death stone yet he also made her have no choice by mortally wounding her. |

(from episode 6) Is he really an evil spirit, anyway? He has that huge stone in his left eye — he could just be 'controlled,' too. |

| This episode could raise the show's score for me to an 8. and if the successive ones are just as good or even better, a 9 even. Answers along with some sweet action scenes is always a plus in my book. Poor Yomi, getting all the abuse directed at her. that lecher of an old man gave me flashbacks of Kare Kano. and that brat, how can Kagura and co. possibly beat him? He took out both Mei and Yomi (albeit in an emotionally drained state) with ease. He seems to have a lot of the Death Stones at his disposal so he can just easily replace whatever powerful pawn he has gained. |

xxkiriyamaxx said: Also... anyone knows the name of the song or artist on the duel? I previously said Ali Project but after hearing it more carefully I'm 90% sure it's from Yousei Teikoku. (I should've noticed it quickly since it's one of my favourite groups, but whatever. Either way, even if it isn't one of their songs you should listen to some of theirs XD) As for the name of the track, I have no clue but it will most likely be in the OST. At least I hope so. |

If Yomi left her to live theres no telling what could happen. Mei could just sit there and die and painful death, she might come back to kill people due to the kid putting the stone back in her but in both cases Mei needed to die. Yomi did the right thing. If there was a way to keep Mei a live then I'd probably think otherwise but since Mei was clearly killed by the butterfly kid I have to thing that putting her out of her misery was the best thing Yomi could have done for her. Even if it was out of revenge and hate. |

Guess the attack got her by surprise big time. That attack got ME by surprise. After watching yomi knock the first 2 blades out of the air with such apparent ease, I kinda expected the producers to let Yomi go and just end the episode with a cryptic dialogue between butterfly guy and Yomi.. But no! They have to let butterfly guy flash his butterflies and unleash his spammy rain of death out of the blue. BOO. Like what happened to the typical bad guy who talks too much and tells you exactly what he's gonna do? |

RandomOugi said: Nitpicking here — the MICHAEL 12 is most likely categorized as a shinken ("true sword"), as no one would use a iaito (literally "mock sword," often made of nickel-zinc alloy) in combat. But the way MICHAEL 12 is designed, it's most common use would be categorized as iaijutsu (sword drawing combat). Kenjutsu would be the term for any combat outside of the drawing movement (however for magical swords like Yomi's, in which combat doesn't use the blade so much as the controlled spirit... I'm not sure if there is a name ;) ).It was interesting to see Yomi using it in the previous fight because her style doesn't involve iaijutsu, so you can clearly see her inferiority to Kagura when handling a heavy specialized iaitou like the #12, I'm surprised neither of them tried to recover the sword stuck to the ceiling. |

Leon-Gun said: Now that I think about it, 'controlled' was not the right word. Kagura's father has one — the physical manifestation of his bond/contract with the dragon-spirit. What I meant to say was that the kid may be in a similar situation.JadeMatrix said: You raise an interesting point, since Mei was also considered a Category A through their radar.

| I was already having a bad day, and this episode didn't help. I hate it when animes show stuff after the credits. Who watches the credits anyway? I just skip to the next episode. But when I read all the comments on Crunchyroll that Yomi "died" (I know she's not, but she might as well be), that's when I went back to check. Why did they kill off such an important character in just 5 seconds? They should've saved it for the next episode and made it more dramatic. Argh, Yomi would never die that easily. She's not dead. I won't accept it. She has to return back to her normal self somehow. It just frustrates me that so many major characters died in the last 3 episodes, and I don’t mean the good type of frustration, like what I felt during Code Geass, Higurashi, or Elfen Lied. It feels rushed, like a cheap trick done by the producers to induce shock on us (or at least make us stick around till next week, as if we weren’t going to, already). I know there's still 4 episodes left, but I don't know if this series is going to end in a way that will make me feel like all 12 eps were used to their full potential. |

| Why did you hide it inside a spoiler? It's assumed that everyone joining the discussion watched the episode completely, hence can't be "spoiled", unless you mention things that are either from episodes after the one being discussed or from manga/original work. Also, Code Geass did use it as a shock factor, but they cheapened it by using the "Hey look, I survived because of *stupid excuse* !" trick. By the end I was actually going "Die and stay dead, bastard !". And Higurashi is a very special case :-). |

| This was a fucking baller episode, kinda rooting for Yomi now lol. 5/5 |
| this episode was wayyy too surprising! i loved this one! O_O can't wait for ep. 9 to be subbed! |
 |
| Good stuff, this episode was surprising, love how it is going to connect with the beginning of the series, what we seen in the first 2 episodes. I like this anime for it being the unique one this season. |
| Poor Yomi, this episode is pretty emotional along with episode... wait, all of them actually xD now I got a pretty good idea how Yomi turned "Evil" >_< |
| WOW, this episode kicked me awake! Glad Mei died, but pissed @ butterfly boy for killing so many characters so easily. Can't really complain because at some level we should've seen this coming. |

slayer545-sama said: kisami said: lol dude that is one huge spoiler lol Yo dude! It's fixed so next tell me again and I will fix my pic posts like so! Ok? Well you do realize that people aren't going to be posting in this thread unless they've actually watched the episode? Otherwise it serves them right. >:O Kotori said: Why do you all say Yomi is dead? It's not really clear... She could be turned and still go back to herself later on like happened to Mei Exactly. So he uses Yomi to try and do the same thing to Kagura, since I think that the butterfly dude is after Kagura and Byakuei Shiro or whatever it is that she's going to inherit from her dad (or at least he's trying to get it out of the way or something). Freaking awesome episode. Most definitely looking forward to the next one. 5/5 from me. |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| Interesting... Byakuei could really be his objective. Let's not forget he already targeted the previous possesor (Kagura's mother), and Byakuei is supposed to be so strong that the user has to merge his soul to him in order to keep him sealed and in control. |
|
| Waaah great episode, it's really picking up to the beginning events. Short FB on events that happened to Touru (ep1 guy) and Aoi, I wonder if they will go in deep with the characters from ep1 again, I hope so. (There was also Touru passing by an episode ago). But great music, directing the pacing is just fine for me. |
 MAL list updates |
| lol... I get the Anakin Skywalker felling from Yomi... "Use your hatred as power" Join the dark side of the force!! |

| Fucking butterfly boy. Yomi ;__; , even though we knew this would happen, it's still painful to watch... |

That happened way to fast. One of the things I liked was the contrast between Yomi and Kagura right now. There was no hesitation in Yomi killing Mei, and while she might have been driven by rage, in the end she treated it the same as killing a category C or D-er. Holy crap. I can't believe Yomi got killed so quickly, so easily. This show does not F around at all. |
| Well that was certainly better than the awful previous episode. This show might turn out to be at least somewhat decent. |
| Gah the end of the episode made me sad even though I knew it was coming eventually, poor Yomi;; |
| it really hurt to see how fast things are changing for yomi><, i feel really pity for her... and this end was really... it was clear that yomi didnt listen to her in the ned. i mean everything was token from her and then mei told her that she killed her father so what woudl one expect... now it also explained the 1-2 epi |

| My gosh that bastard.... and that bitch...She actually used her devious plans and kicked out from the family the poor Yomi and made Kagura leave alone the poor Yomi... So the stupid uncle says Yomi doesn't deserve anything at all and makes her go into a downward spiral of emotions... sealed with Mei taking back Shishi-Ou.... I gotta admit the episode was quite nice... Loved how Mei had her time and destroyed what Yomi had and in the end she summoned her for a fight.... Mei using Ranguren was priceless... and useless too.... she definitely didn't deserve Shishi-Ou..... My lots of Sins were committed this times.... I understand why the next ep is about sins.... Hatred burns people's hearts for sure.... Way to go damned Butterfly Boy... You killed the poor Mei... and now..... Shit... Poor Yomi Signs, Green |

| Mei was so caddy she deserved that. Add that to the list of why people are terrible power hungry beings. Overall it was just a meh episode. |

| Between episode 3 and this one i was just kinda pushing myself to watch the series, now the show has finally been reborn from what it was at the beginning so gonna marathon it ! I was that close to dropping this show too. |
     |
| Wow. That ending really got to me. ;___; |
 |
| What an intense episode! Love the fight scenes between Mei and Yomi. But, Yomi... NOOOOOOOO!! |
 |
| Yomi makes a good yandere doesnt she? |
