"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| Forgot to mention this before, but considering that all the numbers came from the same institution, there are some important differences between them. 9 and 12 have "abnormal" qualities but seem to be relatively sane (12 shows his wild side once in a while), whereas 5 is much more unhinged. Whereas 9 and 12 covers their bases and sticks to a plan (no deaths, deactivate bombs if plans don't proceed as planned), 5 either takes more a risk, or just doesn't care about collateral damage as long as she gets what she wants. These differences are important considering that she was the one out of the 3 that didn't get away. What happened between the time of the attempted escape and the present? Or I guess a better question would be, what did 9 and 12 acquire in that time frame that 5 never got that lead to such differences in personality? So some questions that I would like to see answered eventually: - What is 5's relation to 9 and 12? Her feelings towards them? - We have a vague idea of what 9 and 12's goals are, but what of 5? - Why is shibasaki so attached to this case? Is it the thrill of solving the riddles? the thrill of exposing government conspiracies? Or is it a sense of mutual understanding between Shibasaki and sphinx? It's been said many times: Sphinx wants to play, you play with friends, and shibasaki is more than willing. |

| I have a feeling Lisa is a number. Just throwing that out there. They seem to be building her to be a klutz with everything but she might be godly in doing one thing. -Not social -Parent Over protective -bad at cooking Perhaps as one stated before she's the daughter of the detective. The mother might know shes a ticking time bomb which causes her to be overprotective. Maybe shes bad at cooking because of the training she experienced. I'm just saying that the character Lisa seems to be getting hints that she's useful. She might even be the bomb to save nine and twelve. Overall, I like the character development which helps you get attached to them. Also the Five looks pretty insane. The design for her couldn't have really been more fitting. |
| And in comes the Caucasians. It was a good thing that blond man in black had a proper English/Australian accent. |
 |
| ow what great episode, exciting from beginning to end, this anime is always surprising me, the goal of the protagonists is not hurt people but cause the terror, seems they want someone to discover the connection between the terrorist attacks, but now there was a new rival I think Lisa will have a key role in plot helping them later on, but I'm really looking forward to the next episode, this anime is already among the best of the season .. |

pakoko said: A lot of things confirmed in this episode: 1. Nine and Twelve are not trying to hurt anyone with their terrorist attacks. 2. Nine and Twelve are trying to get Shibasaki's attention to make the connection to the Rising Peace Academy, a nonprofit organization that supposedly have become a clusterfuck of corruption. 3. Shibasaki made this connection and starts to gather evidence about the police once more, even if it means risking his career. 4. Nine, Twelve, and Five seem to have the equal intelligence and same set of hacking skills. When Twelve mentions "Eating was just another task," I thought to myself that these three were "trained" everyday to become something like the FBI. We're still not sure to what end these kids were chosen for such entrainment. 5. Lisa is cute when she's not gloomy. Overall another amazing episode. Five seems like the "complete product" of what she was trained for, while Nine and Twelve escaped before they could become "complete." Five gives off the feeling of a hunter, which goes with this episode's title of "hide and seek." It seems Nine has a traumatic experience with Five. Nice insights there. Yeah, she does give the feeling if being superior to Nine, hacking-wise at least. So, if they're not truly trying to kill people, why still Plutonium for? To scare these politicians? Weird. |
DitzyDaffy said: I loved this moment:  Yes I loved this moment, too and I really started to laugh there :D And it is so obvious that Lisa is meant :D twelve told nine befor this that he liked Lisas food because it was not like in the institution they were :D anyone thinking like me? woaaah will Lisa be able to make bombs??? Twelve and Lisa belong together :D |
| I was in "WTF Mode" when I heard fluent english instead of Japanese engrish in this episode |
| *Facepalm* |
| Rail Wars should take notes. This is how you write a train anime ;) |
| The atmosphere alone makes this an 8 for me, hopefully it'll be a 9 by the end. |
 |
| The duo (or trio) encountered a rather troublesome opponent indeed. |
| That was a brilliant episode! Seeing Nine appear cornered by some 'unknown' source really made it more interesting to watch. And to think that we were starting to think that no one can beat Nine and his hacking intelligence... think again gee! Im excited for more Five and Nine clashes xD Its like watching Detective conan and Kaito Kid. Lisa will eventually get there. For now she may 'appear' useless but im sure she will surprise the viewers somehow. |

Yushwa said: I have a feeling Lisa is a number. Just throwing that out there. They seem to be building her to be a klutz with everything but she might be godly in doing one thing. Good point. Some people thought Shibazaki's archive partner (was his name Mukasa or something?) was useless but he's pretty clever. We've got 6 more episodes for Lisa to develop. She'll have her time to shine (and then everyone will complain about that.) |

| Not as good as the forth one, but still a great development for this series. Still no real clue about their past tho. |
| It was awesome seeing Nine spring to action when needed! |
| Shoot first, think never. |
Samauri55ZeRo said: jimjameswhatever said: The fact that people are still a bit clueless as to why Lisa is a character in the show leaves me a bit surpr...yeah, not really surprised at all :P lol let them go further into their misunderstanding....Everyone thinks they know whats going on but non of us really do. The last episode is going to rock a few people me thinks. You didn't even rebut my earlier comments yet somehow are claiming superiority over people in this thread 'just because'. People like you are the cancer of episode discussions alongside rampant fanboys who believe their precious series are immune to criticism. |

| Apparently 'character development' these days means suddenly changing into a badass after having been a complete waste of space for half the season. |

| I wonder if Five actually started the fire at the institution instead of being a victim there. They have special abilities after all. Maybe Nine is begging her to stop in his dream instead of him trying to save her. Also, when she made her appearance in this episode, he and Twelve knew that she didn't die there, which is interesting. Just a thought. |
| A sensational episode! I never imagined that terrorists would get his ass in hand, as they were now. A twist that will make everything more exciting, after all, now starts Manichaeism. Who really is the villain? Shibazaki, with his sense of justice will side this corrupt government? A distorted dogma and that reminds me Psycho-Pass. Looking forward to the outcome. |
Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the  |
| Nine has a rival now. Five seems to be an old 'buddy' of them. This is the first time they had difficulties in the bombing part. I wonder what'll happen next. I'm sure Five is glad to see Nine and Twelve again. Awesome episode. |

Jesus. I'm waiting till she becomes useful and part of the plot like In stein;s Gate with Mayuri. If something on that level of impact happens, I'm going to laugh my damn ass off on everyone claiming she was shit or useless. The funny thing is, it's not rocket science as to why Lisa is in the show. People are just apparently too dumb to realize that just because a character doesn't directly/overtly contribute to the plot, it does not mean they are useless. Lisa wants to destroy "the world" but she actually means "her world," one in which she has nobody. She's noticeably happier in this episode because she has people to talk to and interact with. I'm pretty sure deep down 9 and 12 feel the same way (despite 9's cold demeanor towards her). I said it before and I'll state it again: Lisa will be the key to the central characters' realizing what causes their isolation. Lisa provides normal human interaction for 9 and 12. That cooking scene may look like your standard slice-of-life scene from another show, but like 12 said, there's value in bad cooking. It's something they never experienced before. She's played no role in advancing the plot, sure, but useless? Please... |
| This is an excellent show, if the standard continues and this is heading where I think it is we are in for a real treat |

| Fantastic stuff. Each episode gets my heart racing. Can't wait to see what happens next. And for those complaining about Lisa...well, I'm thinking she's going to be a Wild Card. There are bigger things in store here. |
| "straight cash, homie." |
KanjiKano said: Chabe said: Apparently 'character development' these days means suddenly changing into a badass after having been a complete waste of space for half the season. He's right, you know. (Kano is.) |

| We seem to be getting some answers, or on the road to answers at least. Like Nine and Twelve don't intend mass murder, Five is official, and the Rising Peace Academy seems interesting. |
 I REMEMBER TOUCH. PICTURES CAME WITH TOUCH. A PAINTER IN MY MIND. |
| Sigh, why couldn't they leave past in the past, have them duke it out with that smart police officer? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Sorry, I was just hoping it would be a game of cat and mouse between them and that police guy, whatever his name. It sort of reminded me of Death note. Now it reminds me of death note even more, except it reminds me of 2nd part of death note and that crappy guy called N (was that his initial?). The police officer was smart, he was fast to act and it was interesting seeing them compete. Adding another super-ultra-cool-know-it-all just ruins it for me. However, it seems it's only me. Oh well... |

| That English. Damn. So many twists in this episode, was not expecting that. It's good to know Sphinx isn't really out there to be murderers, it solidifies their purpose (whatever that is) even more which makes it great. Five takes a while to paint her nails lol. Can't wait for the next episode, I really want to know what happens next. |
| I was a bit disappointed that they don't wanna murder people but still a good episode. |

The boys are leading Shibazaki to uncover the Rising Peace Academy, he's practically a second kira without realizing it and the way he was against orders and angered about the bombing shows he may go rogue if things don't change. The real L is Five cause she single handedly duped Nine and Twelve in the quickest fashion and nearly killed everyone. The officer is smart and only human but Five, nine and Twelve show traits of a super soldier and working at a high functioning level. You guys are ruining the show for yourselves by comparing it to a completely different show. I mean, it's your loss, but really, you're looking for connections where there are none. |

No one is losing out on anything. People don't go looking for these connections, humans naturally make them between similar things. This show has a bunch of things to remind one of Death Note. |
| Did they hire a native English speaker for this episode? I don't know if that English is on native level or above average japanese Engrish. |

They slur the words a bit and speak a too quickly with a non-native accent, it can't be a native speaker. Probably just a Japanese guy who got good marks on his English exams. |
