| woow, so many NEETs, what will they do? >< and moving juiz herself somewhere?? can't wait for the ending.!!! |
| wow such an intense episode.... my two cents - the lady who brought in the empty bottle had the same voice as juiz, just not computerized - juiz respond to number 1 "please become a messiah" and respond to akira "please continue being a messiah" does that mean anything? |
 |
| The NEETs were having sex. Awesome shit. |
DeathfireD said: Rewatch episode 4. It doesn't really say anything about being penalized for not spending money. However Mr. outside says you will get penalized for not using your phone or producing results. So in short, all they really have to do is call people and get involved with things that could possibly save the nation (ie. use the phone). Here is a list of the conditions that they must not brake. 1) You cannot abandon your mission or desert. 2) You cannot go for a long period of time without using your phone or producing no results. 3) You cannot use your 10 billion on your own personal desires. The money has to be spent for the sake of the nation. 4) If your balance hit's zero and you have not saved the nation, you die. My guess is Akira saves the nation by stopping the missiles. The reason he probably didn't win before was because the missile attack was only directed at one general area and not the Nation as a whole. So theoretically if Akira blows all his cash preventing this attack, he most likely wont be killed by the supporter because he saved the country as a result of using all the cash. Juiz is most likely member 12. Not only because she "supports" each member regardless of what they spend the money on but in episode 4 Mr. Outsider describes the supporter as someone who is "Enthusiastic to assist, but cruel when observing". It describes Juiz perfectly. She's always willing to help any of the members but as we learn more about the character and how they're using the money, you can sense her tone of voice changing negatively over time. Mr. Outsider also says "So called member 12" This could mean that 12 is not really a member but the system itself (ie. Juiz). So in the end any of the remaining 11 members could be killed by anyone but it would be the result of Juiz causing it. Look at the detective that was stabbed by his wife. It was a result of Juiz redirecting his message that was for his mistress to his wife. Just my 2 cents. I really like this idea. When I rewatched that episode, I thought that by usage of the phone, he meant using the funds. But there still is a way to receive results if you're cunning about it and a very interesting loophole. Nayrael said: It seems that she is some kind of super-computer... probably moved while Takizawa and No. 1 were going to the institute (I think that the objects in those trucks were Juiz). At first, I seriously thought Juiz was the woman that brought up the empty bottle of wine to them. She really does sound similar to Juiz (and I thought she was in control of the supercomputer), though..when Akira asked Mononobe if Juiz worked there, he did not reply. He called Juiz after introducing Yuuki and asked her to have a bottle of wine delivered, but of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's her in person. (Other than those four present in the room and Juiz (and the other selecao), how many other people know about Noblesse Oblige?) Mononobe later specifies that Juiz is the supercomputer/machines in that room. If she truly is an advanced AI system that would add up to those objects that were being moved away when Mononobe & Akira arrived as well as the time. (though it isn't clear the time they arrived, how much time they spent talking and the time between that as Akira left.) The time on Yuuki's watch and the time Selecao #12 made his move has about 28 minutes in between. So he/she could have requested Juiz to be moved ahead of time. |

| That huge container ship dropping of those neets... You recognized them due to the censoring, haha! When it says at the end ''move Juiz to a hidden location'', the door closes and Akira jumps on a train... Maybe Akira has MPD and he is Juiz. But that's the most ridiculous idea. |

| Finally, it's getting interesting again. Too bad there's only one episode left. I was really hoping for the movie to show Akira's actions before he lost his memories. |

| This episode was made of sheer perfection. A shame that this series can't score a 11... |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Awesome! This anime is deff going unto my fav list. |
 |
| That was a frickin' AWESOME episode! though i think this series went in a totally different direction than it appeared to be in the beginning. I honestly think this series should've been slower developing. |
| Great episode! Seriously, this anime just keeps getting better by the minute. |
| I seriously don't know how this will all end, seeing as there's only one episode left. I suppose it will all end in a cliffhanger and we have to wait for the movie... Awesome episode overall. Things are definitely becoming clearer now, although we still don't know the supporter's real identity. I can't wait for next week. |
 |
| How exactly did the ones Akira save betray him? |

I wondered about that too... Perhaps Akira has already won the game, since he did save Tokyo from certain missile mayhem. And Akira's imagined Juiz as a room full of girls with computers, ready to take his every command... Perhaps that champagne girl was a receptionist for Juiz, the super-computer? Even super-computers need an operator! Anybody ever thought that Juiz might be in fact a computer program? |
 |
| WOW...I cannot wait to see how the last episode will complete. They fit a ton of information into that last episode!!! I'm starting to understand everything better. And I'm finding the episode title funny because it can mislead someone. ^_^ |

| Freaking EPIC episode. Loved it. :D |
     |
| Oh I know! That Ato guy probably is "Juiz", Mr Outside and The Supporter, all at the same time! He probably had his conscience synthesized into a supercomputer, Juiz. If I'm wrong, then that's fine, I don't care, really :D Anyway, I always thought Juiz to be something of that sort. I mean, being the same concierge for 10 people 24/7, it's way too weird, right? #12? If I'm wrong at the above hypothesis (which I'm most certainly am), then it's either Mr Outside or Juiz.

| Freaking epic episode, with still so many things that are left in the dark. I wonder if they can answer all those questions in the final episode or they'll leave us hanging for the movie. GAH. Anyway, the whole thing with Juiz, #12, Mr Outsider and the Supporter is so confusing. They all can be the same person, really. I was kinda disappointed to hear Mr Outsider was dead (srsly was waiting for Akira to beat the crap outta him), but towards the end of the episode I started to doubt that? Maybe he's not dead yet, hm? We'll see. LOL @ mad NEET army. |
     |
| Wow,great episode if i must say^^ Akira meets up with Mononobe and they talk in the helicopter. Mononobe introduced Yuuki(Seleção 10) to Akira when they entered a building. But the ending was pretty good. |

I was thinking the same thing! I also think that Selecao guy with the red ring is lying about a few things. Just not sure what. |
| champagne girl's voice might be the one Juiz's was recorded from/modeled after. and the NEET's are still at the mall? i thought they were moved somewhere? ahh so many questions waiting to be answered... |
| SUDDENLY, JOHNNIES! THOUSANDS OF THEM! In all seriousness, I really enjoyed this episode and was engrossed from start to finish, so many questions answered and so many new questions asked from the answers. The next episode is going to be an awesome race against time :3 |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| Good episode. Champagne girl is Juiz quite probably. And NEET:s back in Japan? Quite confusing, let's see how the last episode will manage to clear things up. This is the kind of show which doesn't open completely at the first watch. |

Because there are eleven members in a team and not twelve. Though sometimes the fans are called the "12th member" and they are definately "Enthusiastic to assist [as in cheering], but cruel when observing [always criticizing]". But mayber thats really a little overboard xD I really liked the episode, was shocked when it had finished, because I thought that only 10 minutes had past until then. Looking foward too the next episode. Especially since I don't really have an idea what will happen now ^^° |
| Whoo~ One more episode to wrap things up. |
| A real eye opener this episode was! Finally some insight on "Who is Juiz?" Taki was clever to erase his memories *it's called strategy*. He'll win the game! |
 |
| WOW, awesome episode, so much revealed, i cant wait to see what Akira does now, and who or what is 12 and what are they up to? will the missiles hit? whats up with the return of the NEET's? argh, cant believe only 1 episode left, and the film, cant wait, this is a superb anime |
| Anime makes me smile! :-) |
| Awesome episode :D |
 |
| The series finale is going to be so awesome. Can't wait for the movie. |
Confucius say man who stand on toilet is high on pot. |
| Shit hit the fan. And im confused. Great episode. |
    |
| I shat brix. |
 |
| Can't wait for the next ep.. idk man all these are so confusing but I'm more inclined to think Juiz is #12 AND the Supporter. gogo Akira! |
 |
| Great episode, now I like this anime, but just in the end >.< |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Fantastic episode. So much background revealed, yet more questions arise. Wonder what how Akira was betrayed. If I saw tens of thousands of naked guys storming the area, I'd get the hell out of there too. LOL. |
 |
| OH MY This was pretty intense. I don't want it to end, I want more Johnnies every day! |

| Seleçao is a nickname for the Brazil national football team. :) ("the selected ones", in this case to join one of the strongest national footbal team of the world) I can't remember whether anyone mentioned it or not, I'll drop it here for the ones who missed it. |
