| It seems Akkey is strongly connected to that "Beyond the Boundary/Kyoukai no Kanata" thing. No wonder his youmu form is such a badass. Someone wants to get rid of him. > Still can't figure out if Izumi is really bad or is it because of something else that she acts the way she does. Mirai attacks Akihito and... a cliffhanger. Even after the preview, I still hope he didn't die. |

| The fighting in this episode was done quite well. It is quite sad to see Kuriyama having to kill Akihito. |

| Akihitos vivre card :D |
| Ofc,Akihito has glasses in his closet instead of porn mags. Mirai the only one who can kill Akihito. Izumi manipulating Mirai into killing Akihito.He's human side was weakened cause she used a barrier on him. Akihito is half the "Kyoukai no Kanata's" vessel. Dat fight at the end was pretty intense,very well animated and awesome to see.Ofc,it has to stop as Akihito is about to get stabbed,for dramatic cliffhanger ending. Pv implying Akihito died which I find really hard to believe,but if he is I doubt he'll stay that way.Also fanservice/swimsuits in winter really? |
| He will live for sure.I don't know how, but im sure he will. Also, Akkey's room made me lol.Instead of shady magazines he's got room full of glasses xD The question is, why the hell does Mirai ''want'' to kill him so much? normally i would see her hesitate before stabbing him or anything, but now shes like ''i need to do it!', and i don't believe that the only reason is that Akkey will stay as youmu later on if she doesnt kill him now.Something is off imo. Anyways, it was an great episode.Can't wait to see whats next. |

| Interesting episode. Looking forward to the conclusion of the series ... |
| honestly, i doubt that akihito will die. Maybe they'll spend an episode or two without him, acting as if he "died" but then he'll probably miraculously show up. Plus he's the main character. Unless the kyoto animation is trying to get a bad reputation, they won't kill the main character. Have you watched kokoro connect? Iori nearly dies, but she doesn't. I think mirai might actually stab him, and then maybe someone random like Izumi will say that he's dead and stuff but seriously, theres 4 more episodes in the anime, they're not gonna kill him off with 1/4 of the anime left. And also, i personally love akihito, and pray he doesn't die |
| OMG Akihito!!!!!!!!!!!! T__________T The ending song does have a meaning. " I never want to say goodbye" He must be alive TwT |
| I don't like Izumi manipulating things behind.. RIP Akihito. |
| Wow. He is the source of the "Beyond the Boundary". My goodness. If he is killed like mentioned in the preview... I wonder if the powers of the youmu would bring him back to life? It was really sad seeing Mirai cry while in the midst of killing Akki. |

| I find it funny that so many people keep saying "KyoAni won't do it because they risk sales", when this is based off of light novels, and I doubt they'll change the entire plot just for sales. Lots of the most popular animes have the main character die near the end. I mean, I don't know what happens in the novels, and I don't really think he's going to die... but this really isn't KyoAni's series, so what happens isn't their say. |
| Akihito is the vessel of Kyoukai no Kanata (Beyond the Boundary). It's extremely powerful and is said to have been formed from humanity's collected hate and corruption. It is also said to be the source of war, disease and natural disasters and thus has the potential to ruin the world if left unchecked. Figures why everybody wants to kill him. |
| RIP Akihito. |

| MOTHER OF CLIFFHANGERS. One of the better episodes thus far. This is growing on me, probably a bit late for that though, never really been sure about the pacing. |
| I feel bad for Kuriyama |
 |
| Omg I hope she did not killed him, the anime will lose all the fun if Akihito die, but that is very impossible... I hope. |
| That ending reminded me instantly of Garei Zero. FEEEEELSS, MAN! FEEEEELS! D: |
 |
| For a second, I feel Aizen in this series. |
| The first quarter was really grand and spectacular with the change of scenes and action A lot of quality and seriousness here overall Preview is kind of sad |

And if she actually kills Akihito... tables will be flipped. Mirai knows her! She is the responsible for that area Spirit Hunters. At episode 5 She takes away Mirai license for a month, because she attacked the Hollow Shadow. |
| Yep, this was a good episode. I didn't really care about Akihito but damn, the last scene was awesome. DAT CLIFFHANGER. |

KnK Anime is almost completely original. Only the first 3 episodes + hollow shadow arc was from the LN's. Everything else is written just for the anime because there wasn't enough material to fill up an entire season. |
| Is Akihito "Beyond the Boundary?" When Beyond the Boundary is mentioned, it's discussed as if it's a person, and not an event or a thing. I hope Mirai fails to kill him and he opens up a can of whoop ass on all those that want him dead. Sent with Mal Updater |

At episode 5 She takes away Mirai license for a month, because she attacked the Hollow Shadow. The montage during Hiromi's investigation shows Izumi and Mirai on the school rooftop. I'm assuming this scene takes place right before the beginning of the anime since Hiromi mentions during his call about how killing Akihito was their plan from the start. This is why Mirai just moved into town. I'm not sure about this part, but the first person view of Mirai taking her glasses off before the final attack makes it seem like her vision is actually alright and not in any need of correction. Izumi opening Akihito's cabinet during their search of his room and having her reflection on one of the glasses implies that this might also just be part of her plan to lure Akihito. |
 |
| So everyone is getting some action now :D Hiroomi and Mitsuki's battles aren't as good as Izumi but thats to be expected :D But man Akihito's form is more badass than Izumi :) most like Akihito will come back to live as a human in the next episode, there 's only 13 episodes so they would definitely want to wrap this fast. |
 |
| hm.... i don't like where this is going... -_- |
| i always love the song transitions at the end |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Izumi owns again! Am I the only one who doesn't really care about Akihito and Mirai? So all the tension, drama and "feels" meant nothing for me :P |
| Not really understanding the guy who ragequit, but w/e. I'm enjoying the hell outta this show, but will flip tables if Aki is truly dead. Next episode better be the last episode if so because I can't really see where the hell this series will go without him, especially with it not being two cour. The PV does heavily hint that yes, they just killed him off, but I can totally see a troll as well. |
| I think only the youma part of Akihito will die, and in the end what izumi-san did to him was for save the human part of him ^^ |
I'm learning english. |
| :^( dang |
| damn what an episode.. that guy get the stone and kuriyama gonna kill akkey? :OOO :' |
| can't say the plot of this show is great but i love the animation <3 that end scene with that ED! dat cliffhanger |
Aquarius215 said: Well...shit. That made things even more interesting and suspenseful than it's already been. In a good way, of course. Yupp. Nice to see this show getting darker. |
"Komugi, are you there?" |
anonimkun said: I'm sorry I missed out too much things, please enlighten me. 1. What's with that vivre card? (You know, the one Kuriyama-san used to find Akihito) 2. What is 'kyoukai no kanata' supposed to mean? How come it's inside Akihito's body? 1. No idea 2.Knk is a youmu, but it turns out what they were seeing is not the whole youmu. The other part is in Akkey. He's basically a vessel. How? We don't know yet. |
