| Bah, my jaw dropped on so many levels in this episode, but I liked it anyways. I feel like so much more shit is going to happen in the upcoming episodes. Hope Haruto and Saki can somehow recover from this Also, |

| That wasn't rape, she is surprised at first when she realizes what the cruse actually is then she accepts him. She embraces him and strokes his hair during and it's her fingers intertwined and locked onto his. Basically she was fighting him when she thought it was just an attack, and when she realized what was going on she was like "oh I get it". If that wasn't clear enough, before it happened she was ready let him use her body to swap into. Essentially they showed her mentality as "you can use me if you want to". |

| My oh my...wow. So Haruto has finally sated his hunger, and it wasn't a hunger to eat, it was the hunger and the urge to reproduce. (Which is kind of strange, since until Takahi, he's been attacking mostly males, which don't really help in the reproducing department...) Well, he has now left adolescence behind and been thrust unceremoniously into adulthood, and unfortunately it was against his will. This single night will forever change his relationship between Saki and Shoko. Shoko might be his true, first love, but Saki will now always be his first woman. And Saki...I honestly don't know what I can say. No girl should ever go through something like that...curse or no. In fact, I thought it profound when she said that they were "cursed" after all, refuting Aina's belief that they were some kind of "holy spirit". Having to go through a horrible experience like that, I can see why she'd have little faith in anything right now. I honestly don't know what to make of what's going to happen next between them all. This is truly a damning situation. Other than that, we learn about the "runes" which involves the movement of information, We learn more about what JIOR was doing, and they are beginning to sound fishy to me. And election is held for the new prime minister of JIOR and it is no surprise that Shoko won. She has had to bear the fact that her father is most likely dead, but still she goes on. However, with her rise to power and her going to confess when she gets to the moon, she has added another death flag to her already numerous supply. As I figured, the next two episodes will lead to the climax of the story with everything coming to a head at the moon. We discover that Cain's fleet will be going to fight one more time and this time Cain himself is going out there. That's not a good sign. We learn that Cain is the right-hand man of the Fuehrer who replaced the royal regime 20 years ago. However, if Princess Liselotte is still treated as royalty at the time she met L-elf which happened later than 20 years ago, then how did this whole coup d'etat occur? Anyway, they can explain that later. We learn that H-neun is doing some suspicious acts of sneaking around, along with Kriemhild. What's going on with them and who's on whose side? Things are becoming very complicated at this late stage of the game for Valvrave. We have indeed reached a precipice in this story, and we will have to see if Valvrave can soar to new heights, or will it crash and burn? I give this episode a 8/10. What shall happen next? |

| When a series generate some level of hate and controversy I know I found a good one to present panels on in a convention... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I demand vampire babies. Okay, that last scene was really well made, at this point I don't know if this anime is an entertaining crap or a really great anime, I'm confused. |
She wasn't fighting off his sexual advances though. Once she realized he wanted sex from her she accepted him and even embraced him. Watch the scene over again.seconded finally a reasonable user comrade! |

| OH MY GOD THEY JUST HAD SEX. Frickin' Haruto needs to get his s**t together and keep it in his pants, but clearly that didn't exaclt work out for him |
| I'm sure that blonde girl was hoping to be in Shiki's shoes. She's been turned on ever since Haruto/Shiki almost kissed her. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Gunjin ja nai? Rionchan no oppai ga ooki sugiru dakara da yo. Rionchan SOO CUTEEE. Fav shirt... LOOOOL I told you it's "Thunder". NANNN DATO? Sou ka? souk a? Omae.. ii yatsu dana Takahi <3<3<3 Culturefest in almost every anime lol. Well done, Haruto. Give us Takahi sex scene, next. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |

HanaOtome said: No, i think you should watch again. . . she accepted it because of the curse, but that does not mean she consented- she did NOT want sex, but she allowed him to fullfill his lust. THAT IS RAPE, both people have to want to have sex, if not it is rape. regardless of the fact that he clearly pushed her down against her will and tore off her clothes and she was struggling. Allowing him to fulfill his lust is the very definition of consent, that is what allow means! Understand the context too. Do you think the show created this scene as a PSA on date rape where the a guy sees a girl liking him as an automatic invitation for sex and we will be learning a lesson on consent later? No this is about Haruto "getting drunk" and Saki letting it happen so there will be drama between Saki, Haruto, and Shoko, but ultimately Haruto gets a pass because "he wasn't himself". I will even make the prediction Saki will throw the fact that she had sex with Haruto in Shoko's face later. Mod edit: spoiler tagged quote chain |

| This anime. ROFLMAO. 1/5 |
| The way I see this faux-rape scene.. - The only moment she struggled was at the beginning when he pushed her down. - When he opened her shirt she was surprised but didn't do anything to get away. - Then the *its a curse* and she embraces him. - We already knew she had feelings for him, even at the beginning of the episodes she's sad that it won't only be the two of them as Valvraves. - In the end she's probably indifferent or happy, I doubt she's sad. BUT, it felt out of place and was probably implemented to shock the viewers and sell more copies. It just didn't make sense for me that he went from biting people to raping sexy busty girls. I guess this is the evolution of fan-service? |
|
| I just hope Haruto will be man up enough to take a responsibility, curse or not he just do her, so he must see it through till the end. And another thing, what's up with the students in that school? they chose a president just because someone suggest to make a school festival/ Oh Shouko...you and your idiotic behavior and ideas, no wonder I just can't like you. I hope Haruto will just forget about shouko in 2nd season and choose SAKI BTW anyone else realize that the Valvrave no1 interface AI is a pervert? Maybe that's why Haruto rape Saki instead of biting her. |

| Yeah, I'm done with this show. The plot and tone is a giant fail, and if a controversial scene like what transpired this week doesn't get any emotion out of me other than annoyance that the writer thought it was a good idea, then you can bet nothing else is going to affect me either. |

(Which is kind of strange, since until Takahi, he's been attacking mostly males, which don't really help in the reproducing department...) I think the thought were put into VVV-tan head when Saki kissed Haruto and VVV-ta asked "is it sex?" So in the sense, Saki might have ironically created the whole situation and she were the one bearing its consequence. Cain said in last episode that the Valvarave have been "successfully reproduced." I wonder if it implies mechanically replication or biological one. btw, L-elf might have been the first victim of Haruto's "hunger" O_O Irenesharda said: Other than that, we learn about the "runes" which involves the movement of information, We learn more about what JIOR was doing, and they are beginning to sound fishy to me. And election is held for the new prime minister of JIOR and it is no surprise that Shoko won. She has had to bear the fact that her father is most likely dead, but still she goes on. However, with her rise to power and her going to confess when she gets to the moon, she has added another death flag to her already numerous supply. Runes are probably aliens tech that Haruto's dad and Cain dabbled in 20 years ago. VVV-tan is the original version so that confirms her to be a real alien intelligence, not just an AI interface. That means her fascination with "sex" is more understandable Shouko does supply ample amount of death flag for herself. The fact that she gets close to Akira, who has been strongly hinted to be the next pilot, may surprise us yet again that Shouko, not Satomi is the reason for Akira to hop in the seat. That said, I'm leaning toward Shouko being captured by Dorssian army and held as hostage or her fate may be inconclusive for the 2nd cour. Haruto, and M-77 then would have a reason to fight against Dorssia with L-elf. Irenesharda said: As I figured, the next two episodes will lead to the climax of the story with everything coming to a head at the moon. We discover that Cain's fleet will be going to fight one more time and this time Cain himself is going out there. That's not a good sign.

However, if Princess Liselotte is still treated as royalty at the time she met L-elf which happened later than 20 years ago, then how did this whole coup d'etat occur? Royalty has been usurped by the Fuehrer and his right-hand-man. They are kept alive as mascots with no real power. Liselotte is probably locked up while her brother A-drei is a joke of a prince. That factored in L-elf's plan to overturn Dorssia and we have the entertaining main plot for the 2nd cour. Irenesharda said: Anyway, they can explain that later. We learn that H-neun is doing some suspicious acts of sneaking around, along with Kriemhild. What's going on with them and who's on whose side? Things are becoming very complicated at this late stage of the game for Valvrave. H-neun does not trust Kriemhild beforehand so I think it's unlikely that they are working together. In fact, both may have been spies. One can be a Dorssian's royalty loyalist, the other can be a ASUS's spy. We also must not ignore the possibility that H-neun is helping Cain eliminate traitors from the shadow. Irenesharda said: We have indeed reached a precipice in this story, and we will have to see if Valvrave can soar to new heights, or will it crash and burn? I give this episode a 8/10. What shall happen next? I incline not to make prediction, but I have had a feeling that Valvrave can be a great show. All the recipes are there, and fans might have been slowly recognizing it. |

| YOLO and Rape? This show is on a whole new level |
| well first off once i heard they were gonna have a election i knew Shouko would run and win it don't even have a problem with the girl but all dem Shouko X haruto moments and then they pull 180* near the end out of no where!, but was it really rape i mean at first it was and then she embraced it..it's not like it was *Thunder* doing it she actually likes Haruto. well whatever the case i hope there was a meaning behind all that just lol |
 |
| That was some ending. |
 |
katsu044 said: but was it really rape i mean at first it was and then she embraced it..it's not like it was *Thunder* doing it she actually likes Haruto. And the cycle continues |
 |
| That was actually a little unexpected. We all know the moment Shouko said she was going to confess that something will derail her relationship with Haruto, but this. This was a little darker than necessary. I was going to say that it's gg for Yukino after that scene with Haruto and Shouko, but guess not. For those of you who don't think Yukino should be feeling sad, imagine you knowing that the person you like likes someone else and he had sex with you because of some weird impulse and not out of love. Yeah. That was rape, and she looked a bit traumatized at the end. |
ShikiAshGrave said: seconded finally a reasonable user comrade!She wasn't fighting off his sexual advances though. Once she realized he wanted sex from her she accepted him and even embraced him. Watch the scene over again. i totally agree as well. once she realized what it was he wanted, she started to caress his head and hold on to him. hence the fingers entwined in the middle of (sheldon cooper voice) coitus. the dead pan look on her face at the end is because she IS A KUUDERE CHARACTER! that's just how that cliche character type is. |

| All my wut... Here's a comment I found hilarious: Shoko won Election Saki won Erection |

That does not matter. Just because victim gives in or gives up, does NOT change the nature of intercourse, because what matters is how it is initiated. symbv said: ShikiAshGrave said: She fought at first but she later accepted him - we know she had already fallen in love with him earlier. The situation (or her emotion) is not a straightforward and clear-cut one.She wasn't fighting off his sexual advances though. Once she realized he wanted sex from her she accepted him and even embraced him. Watch the scene over again. actually it very much is. DId she initiate the intercourse? No. Did she consent to allowing it? No. Was she under mental strain when the intercourse happened? Yes. Did the initiation of intrcourse involve physical force? Yes At the ennd of the day: - Saki's feelings do not matter and is not a deciding factor in whether this is rape or not. YOu can love someone and still be raped by that someone. You can want to have sex with someone at some point in future, yet still be raped.. - Her "giving up" as it goes on does not matter. That's actually quite common factor in most of rape cases and sometimes perpetrator does not even realize he/she raped someone. - Her not physically stopping it after does not matter. Its still rape. She still was physically(at first) and mentally(afterward) forced to have sex. She did not consent to sex, she was coerced into it. lack of consent = rape. |

| well, concentual rape, not bad i kinda..feel bad for shoko, but well, movies and animes before, conclude that humans x vampires are not a good match eben less if we are talking about space mecha plots vampires XD ThangLong said: i just love how that sounds XDI wonder if space vampire can get pregnant. |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Anyone else feel like Shoko is this series Shirly from Code Geass? I think we can all agree that she will die from the Dorssia army, which will trigger Haruto to work with L-elf unconditionally. Also a shoko and L-elf coupling seems to far-fetched. L-elf turned against his country to save the princess who saved him as a child. I think that L-elf is too loyal to her that he would go for Shoko. |
