----------------------------------------
Kaito and his friends trying to get Jin's memory back, but the new girl interferes with a "great president" Challenges from two different places. The puzzles Jin solved is modified, and she said Jin should be with her, not Kaito, and Jin only knows her name.

Destroying of puzzlers? Jin hating puzzle?

The OP was ok, or rather... I like 2nd season OP too much to the extend that I don't like it that much. ED is fun! Tensai Terrace Gumi (天才テラス組) as the group of main 5. OnoD's voice?? He's going to be appear in 3rd season, too? It seems like that new crazy character called Iwashimizu-kun (イワシミズ君) is voiced by OnoD.

Mottox2 Kami no Puzzle! Crystal ball puzzle. lol @ the conversation between Kaito and Childhood girl during the sample puzzle.

The matter with Jin being addressed is a good thing, but I wanna see more of the old crew together though (that is Kaito, Gammon, Ana, Cubic).

Catching piggyback rides from Gammon is Ana's new gimmick, I suppose?

Ah, and the new girl = Nonoha's potential love rival for Kaito if we look at OP?

Nice ep :D...Really tense start.

I'm liking Ratzel. The fact their focusing on Jin's past is awesome. Can't wait to see more of that.

Really loving how Kaito and Luke are now back to being the best of friends :)

Let's see how this season goes ^^

Well, it's pretty much a rehash of the same thing...

I heard this is the last season though.

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.

IT'S OUR DESTINY~

Okay, that new girl named Rastel or whatever is kinda strange. I am VERY curious about who she is or what her origins are and her relationship with Jin.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this first episode though. I don't like Rastel much yet but she's definitely has a creative mind.

The interesting series is back. It's really unique. I find it interesting Jin questioned significance of puzzles. Maybe Rachel will unintentionally work as a catalyst to promote puzzles and Jin will come back to the team. Not sure

So it came back to haunt me. Bad as ever.
Kaito energetically talking to himself at the beginning and taunting a puzzle with his stupid signature move........urgh.

Opening sucks hard, too. At least THAT was bearable in Season 2, common guys.

And even though I should've gotten used to this by now, I can't help but to shake my head at statements such as "eliminating all puzzlers". This guy being a german (of COURSE, the root of all evil is a german, especially when it comes down to eliminating certain kind of people) I can already imagine some newborn, innocent child playing with puzzles created for age 5 and below or something, when suddenly this guy storms the place and bombs the hell outta the kid.

Oh and "Rätsel"? Really? How creative.
I wonder who's in charge of making up all those stupid names.

The only good part was Rook looking all disco-ish. Totally funky, man!

if you didnt check manually on above mention, he likely lost his memories from the Puzzle of God battle vs Pythagoras(POG leader before his untimely death) which i believe never revealed exactly what the outcome of that challenge was. As it was insinuated that both players lived, Jin losing his memories, Pythagoras dieing about a half year(?) before the events of season 1 completed.
If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume the way the statue in the circular room is facing is a clue as to which door is the correct one. Maybe the right answer is the one the griffin (or whatever it is) is facing away from. Rook did say the exit was across from the entrance, and the statue was facing the way they came in (prior to rotating)
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked.

lol at the ending. Iwashimizu. XD

I think I can already tell how this puzzle works. The eagle's face was looking at the entrance and if the exit is opposite the entrance, then that means the tail is facing the exit. So that means that when the statue moves, the walls behind the doors move, moving the entrance, the exit, and the dead ends. So they just have to open the door where the tail is.

At least that's what I'm guessing.

Where?! What interesting series?! :P

Seriously though, I actually dropped this anime a few episodes into the first season (anybody who is interested -lol- can look at my post in ep1 or ep2 of the first season). Since then, I have downloaded all episodes and 'watch' it in the following way: I skip / fast forward the (lol)plot parts and the (lol)character exposition parts and stop to see all that cool flashing puzzle / math - like imagery when people are solving puzzles. You know, like those 5 year olds that only care about flashing lights and impressive cool-looking scenes.

I'm loving the OP sequence again. Finally focusing on Jin's past, thank you producers.
Young Jin, why so handsome ♥

The color spheres puzzle was ridiculously easy that Kaito ended up showing off. Freecell doesn't play puzzles any more, what happened exactly? A trauma. I seem to really like Ratsel, she might end up to be just another rival who was monopolized with.

Enigma is a president of some country, I like how charismatic he looks and acts. Guess no one knows Jin better than the Baron. So there's a club for all puzzles haters, that's Master Brain. Later a weirdo was spotted, his name seems to be something even weirder like Whodunit (フーダニット) according the ED credits.

The last puzzle, I won't be surprised if turns ridiculously easy again.
Maybe the wings have to do with the exit door. Maybe.
