----------------------------------------
I must say...I kinda like Black's personality.

The Klaus scenes were fabulously comedic this episode as well. And it looks like this episode chronicles a bit of boxing match? Didn't expect this. I suppose this series' concepts expands more than just chess in the entertainment realm.

I love how Klaus went Jojo style in like an ORA ORA ORA way on his opponent's ass XD. Quite a fun fight though imo.

I'm really liking Black as well =o He loves his sister but that change of character at the end o-o Wonder what happened to their parents?

The boxing matches were fun to see and Klaus shows us yet again why he is a badass but I did not expect the boss to be a Blood Breed. I'm glad that they're keeping them at the root of the plot

Overall it was a good episode and the comedic moments with Zapp were great xD

I love Klaus the gentlemanly badass, and Zap is the biggest jerk but it's difficult to hate him for it.

Though, I'm a bit confused to how the fight scene between Klaus and the Blood Breed concluded? Did I miss something?

The Blood Breed ran away (he probably would have won the fight, Klaus didn't have any weapon) because he had his fun and has no intention to involve in the human world anymore I think.

They tricked me! I have always thought that White and Black had another brother!!! But niceee, it means Black is getting more screentime. :D

So maybe White is really a ghost after all judging from Black's reaction to Leo's comment.... That would explain the scene in the ED. :(

We finally get a story that goes over two episodes! I so can't wait!

Not as entertaining as the last three episodes. Seems like the story is kicking in...

At this point, i think, i'd rather want it to be episodical for the rest of the series.

Klaus's episode was a bit refreshing after seeing the previous ones, and I liked the music playing in the background at the fight as well. It seems Black is that other guy in the OP, although I see a bit of a height difference between them in the ED (or maybe it's just the hair).

Klaus is so friggin' badass; owned all of those monsters bare-handed without much effort! Except the owner gave him a bit of difficulty, but nothing he couldn't handle. That Blood Breed inside him was kind of unexpected though.

I thought Zapp's main objective was to have Klaus fight to compensate for his debt. Not surprised to see him trying to take Klaus on while he's weakened. Still got thrashed all the same. XD

As many already figured, Black was only feigning his delicate persona. But damn, he looks much better with that hairstyle!

Good episode. Zapp continues to stumble upon trouble, which looks hilarious in the PV for next week!

Zapp being surrounded by knives was so lol XD What a troll he is though XD Using his Boss to pay his debts XD Poor Klaus. He's so trusting in his comrades. Dat Zapp face when looking at Leo though XD

The creepiest creature that ever existed in this world saying Klaus has a creepy face had me LMAO XD

Leo using the chance and betting was lol

EVEN Friggin MADAO's VA is here now :D U gotta love the Gintama cast XD

Damn! That escalated quickly with the Blood Bound reveal and stuff :O

Black got me quite interested now. He had quite the serious face when Leo mentioned the Ghost thing.

I don't know if Black has split personalities or he's only a nice guy around White and her friends. Either way, they story's picking up, and I'm hyped. I was expecting a fight between the Blood Bread and Klaus, so it kinda bums me a little.

Zapp was so cheap though, lol, even though he still got rekt.

Fun episode. There were lots of little touches that I found particularly entertaining this episode such as Klaus having a business card for a secret society, or Leo being worried one minute and then betting on Klaus anyway in the next.

Also, this is probably the first series I've watched so far where I'm actually wishing for more of the anime original content than we're actually getting, hopefully the finish is as strong as the build-up. Seems like we're finally going into an arc of some kind next episode with the (part 1) in the title and all, so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out.

White is totally a ghost. The scene in the ED suggests that she died, or something, and Leo is the only one able to see her (except for Black, but this guy is weird in his own way). Remember that picture Leo took of White when they first met? He said "Oh, you show up.", because his eyes allow him to see her both in real life and in the photo. However later, this photo was zoomed in in one episode, and then it was clearly shown in another. White wasn't in this photo. Only Leo can see her there. I actually think that even Black couldn't see her in the photo. She's a 100% ghost.

Actually in one episode White was looking through the photos that Leo took, and it was shown that most of them didn't show anything really. I actually believe that Leo's eyes let him see all sorts of weird things, but he completely doesn't realise that most of these things are not visible to normal people. Especially that he can see them even in the photo, he just must be convinced these things are visible to everyone, while they're not. Same with White.

It wasn't much of a great reveal but I really hoped they were two different characters. So Black might've asked help from King of Despair to do something about White's condition or in the hopes that she might live again?

True, I missed that scene. I take back my theory.

Also I had a look at episode 4, when White and Black look at the photo I was talking about. It really loooks like the same graveyard, Leo firts met White, but I am no longer so convinced that it is exactly the same sopt, ans that it is exactly the same photo. It looks different. However if it isn't this photo, then what was so interesting in it for White and Black, and how is Leo connected?

My guess is: White really died but her brother revived her somehow. The hint that made me wonder was one of the last panels of the ending that shows Black who is resting with White probably dead or wounded.

Anyway, I could be wrong but I have the feel that it's going to end very very sadly.

That Blood Breed scene really didn't need to be skipped. Kinda offended it wasn't more dramatic.

So Black is a Psychic and a blood breed? Well I'm glad to see that he does seem to care about his sister. Also something tells me that Halloween is gonna be big.

On another note, Zapp is probably the only scumbag I could never hate and Klaus is too strong...and fast...but of course blood breeds have to be insanely overpowered.

Really liking where this is going.

It's still pretty subtle right now, but this shw is starting to get fucking intense.

Klaus was beating ass this ep, until he came face to face with a blood breed. You know they have to be unfathomably strong when he was able to stop time and wreck Klaus in 1 hit like it was nothing. And I'm sure he was holding back just to not cause trouble.

And how many of them were in the foggy abyss again!? Like tens of thousands or something? That's definitely going to cause trouble by the end of this show.

Holy fucking shit I literally want to know everything there is to know about White and Black. They are so mysterious that it's killing me. What is White really? She said a ghost, but she can obviously be seen. But that word struck a bad chord with Black. That picture at the very end showed a happy family, so obviously something bad happened.

Black is even more mysterious. We got to see that he is definitely some super godly strong Blood Breed when everybody basically submitted to him in that room. His BB form is obviously malicious and part of some great scheme since he mentioned a "great collapse".
- does he have a total split personality, or is his friendly blue-eyed side aware of the red-eyed one and vice versa?
- Is he still called black when he's a BB or does he go by another name?
-Does White know anything?

I really don't want this to be true, because I ship the fuck out of Leo and White...but what if like White died, and then Black used his BB powers to resurrect her, and she's a "ghost" because she's dead, but alive due to his abilities? Blood Breeds can manipulate corpses and stop time; bringing a dead person back to life doesn't seem far fetched.

Exalkin said:

I wonder. Maybe he's a psychic becauseof his BB powers. Perhaps when he's not in active BB form his power still leaks over. Or maybe he does have both. He said it "runs in the family", but that could be true, or it could have just been a friendly excuse to hide the real reason behind his powers from Leo.

Is the other half of him really named "Blank"? I mean, when you look at the title card that comes up, the Japanese part is just a bunch of XXXXX. and the "Blank" is in parenthesis, I took that as just meaning that his name is unknown and he just goes by the title "King of Despair".

This wouldn't be surprising if that half of him IS a split personality. That side of him might not have a name and just takes that title.

Well, White's completely separate being, as the sister. However, I'm thinking Black was the original personality and the "King of Despair" personality sprang out of him being picked on and always feeling weak. At some point he became a Blood Breed or was possessed with one and that side of him identifies with the more dominant King of Despair side, and thus only comes out then.

Probably the weakest episode of this show so far, but still a damn good episode despite that. The underground arena fights were pretty fun, but it did all seem pretty random, even by this show's standards. The soundtrack though was amazing once again.

Also, looks like I was right to be suspicious of Black. It makes me wonder though: if he's one of the Elder 13 but also White's brother, then what does that make White? And what was with Black's downcast reaction to Leo telling him about White saying she was a ghost?

Klaus, wow! He owned that ring big time. That guy's head just exploded from that left hand punch from him. Still Zapp goes for the initiative to strike him down after all that. What a pathetic guy he is. Hahaha!
Now Black is just overwhelming me and gave me an awe by that change of eyes to red and that grin. One of the Thirteen Kings.
Looks like something far more interesting is coming next episode.
