| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Whoa, Kurumi with her hair down and eyepatch. What an interesting look. Anyways, this episode plays on the plot a lot on Shidou's continuous quest to try and save Origami. I gotta admit though, Shidou has a big heart and that he isn't giving up regardless how fruitless this seems. A pretty tense episode. We go to also see a more detailed version of her past and it's tragic. |
 |
| Ahhh, what a short time with the still chuuni Kurumi..... And I wonder if they purposely made Phantom's first reappearance not impactful at all or maybe J.C. just really don't want to. |
 |
| got a little more sympathy for Origami through her backstory. those dead eyes of loli Origami.. well, no wonder, if you see your parents get fucking obliterated like that, anyone would snap  but damn, the plot gets THICK. that last scene got me a little surprised, ngl also, your bets on who the Phantom might be? |
 |
Wanna know? but that's the biggest spoiler of DAL and that character is going to play a very very big role in the future. |

| Gotta say always loved DAL openings with different entrance speech and how girls are portrayed. In the middle was quite obvious that we'll see little Kurumi, but the fact that we see little Kurumi!!! =/ I think a bit dissapointed that she instantly agreed with what she sees in front of her and fired the bullet. Thought here it could be like with one of "herself" in previous season (something like that). And if i don't remember or just missed, what is her real goal? Does it goes as "simple" as changing the ruined world. I just think that's not it (and if spoiler i'll rather wait). |

Okay just as simple as that, like she hints in this season also staying in the ruined city? I mean that's fine, just curious and think it kinda feels such a simple reason for her. |

Mattinator95 said: allenjke said: Okay just as simple as that, like she hints in this season also staying in the ruined city?

Her goal was to seek shido out and consume him due to having spirit powers and use 12th bullet on her to travel back 30 year's to the past to kill the First spirit Dude that's spoilers at least put spoilers around that. |
| Well writing a warning to avoid spoilers doesn't mean anything apparently, whatever. I'll wait until the end of the season and mb add some questions (probably to spoil myself). |
|
I don't want whom to believe and well i was asking because i simply don't remember (which i thought was obvious). I have to say that second season wasn't that impressive for me, don't know if it is the correlation for it, might be. |

JonasDown said: Man, I really can't stay silent about this, fuck it. I'm saying it. And this is no spoiler, I'm just helping you guys out in order for you to understand why Phantom chose to diguise as this character, besides, this happened in a game so unless you have someone tell you what happened you'll never know. The appereance that Phantom used to talk to Shidou is a character named Rinne. Rinne was a character that appeared between volume 4 and 5 of the novels, in simpler terms, Rinne appeared between season 1 and 2, all of this happened in the visual novel Rinne Utopia, where Shidou and co are trapped in a fake paradise created by Rinne. At the end of the visual novel, Rinne dissapears and Shidou forgets about her. After the credit scenes, we see Rinne floating somewhere and a shadowy figure (Phantom) shows up and talks to her, telling her she did a good job. Rinne only smiles and she's taken away. How can u be so sure that everyone had played the vn man oh man put that in spoilers if ur going to do that thing and Phantom is supposed to be the biggest mystery here and damn u. |

What are you talking about. I haven't revealed Phantom's identity. Besides, that character has been known since 2013. U just clearly did that man. |
What the hell? That's not Phantom, that character is from the game, Phantom is someone completely different that was revealed in volume 18 of the novel.[/quote] Well. |

No no and no. They're not the same. I could go on on why that's the case but this is an anime forum, I can't explain if I can't write spoilers. Also, delete this, you just revealed Phantom's identity yourself.[/quote] Well, I did that because even I don't want to spoil anyone on Phantom true identity and even I've read all of the 19 vol of DAL currently released that's why im saying that u should put that in spoilers. |

What you're saying doesn't make sense. How is revealing an important character's identity the same as explaining what events took place in a game nobody in this site has played? It doesn't make any sense. Dude, you need to delete that spoiler now.[/quote] I already edited my spoiler thing and ur not going to understand what im saying to bye. |
| Shido got turned to dust. Damn that was crazy. Welp new timeline here we come. So Shido has had interactions with Phantom before...hmm that makes me intrigued and concerned T_T |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Fall 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| So since Shido svae Origami's parent and got himself blasted in their place , did Shido altered the timeline or is he in an alternate world???? |
| Whoa, is that Kurumi as a chuuni? Best girl Well, I guess now we know why Origami knew Shido in the first season Based on the preview, looks like Shido fucked the future. Different timeline, here we go I guess. |

Love the changes the opening and ending go through now Inverse Origami appears in the Opening too  Younger Origami crying was heartbreaking, seeing her Older Self suffer from the tragedy was depressing enough and then they have two Origamis suffering T_T With this episode it is revealed that Shido himself was at fault for Origami stalking him. Also love how they used Hanten ost for this episode and especially for the former episode when Inverse Origami appeared, an amazingly dark and cataclysmic soundtrack truly fitting for the Darkness concerning the cause and the following actions of Inversed Spirits, kinda wish i'd get to hear it more often in the anime but at the same time it means one of the Girls is suffering and i don't wish for that |

I hope this will be permanent lol. Kurumi with her hair down also looked better imo. I wonder if Shido succeeded, maybe with Kotori's regen powers it's not really a problem if he gets pulverized.. at least that's what comes to my mind first. The other possibility is that he completely negated it with Natsumi's abilities in the last moment. Her powers are seriously overpowered despite their look lol. |
| So Phantom was... Kana Hanazawa all this time. On a serious note, don't google "Date A Live Phantom" cause the so called wiki doesn't even bother to hide who it is. Anyways, need a episode with shota Shido and onee-san Kurumi. *Ara ara intensifies* Nice to see past Kurumi. Was planning to buy a figure of her, forgot somewhere along the way and preorders closed. Sadface. |
| If one Kurumi wasn't enough, we get two Kurumi's this episode, what can a guy want more! Both those outfits are so awesome and Kurumi with an eye-patch is really nice! For first time Shido had to witness what exactly happened 5 years ago, the truth is quite shocking for both of them, especially Kurumi since she was partly the cause of it. I wonder if Shido actually managed to save Origami's parents in the second try. Atleast he managed to talk to "Phantom", whoever she may be. |
 |
| Hm... art seemed a little better overall this episode. I thought he couldn't save Origami's parents because that would rewrite 5 years of the timeline, but he did it anyway. Shido saving them creates a contradiction: if he saves them, the younger Origami wouldn't have a reason to join the AST, and travel back in time 5 years later and fire Metatron. Thus, the threat that Shido saves them from should never appear. Perhaps the Origami that fires Metatron at her parents, and the Shido that pushes them out of the way, are simply foreign to the timeline in which it occurs? ...yeah time travel just doesn't make perfect sense. >.< Aside, in both timelines, the Phantom has witnessed that Origami has the skill to wield Metatron. Seems to be an art error in episode 7 where the inverted Origami is shown with long hair under her veil for one shot, but it's short for all the other shots in the same scene. MomoSinX said: I believe that exceeds Kotori's regeneration ability. Walking into Yoshino'd ice storm was dangerous because he'd keep taking damage, never getting a chance to heal. Sounds like regenerative health in games, where you need to stop taking damage for it to work.I wonder if Shido succeeded, maybe with Kotori's regen powers it's not really a problem if he gets pulverized.. at least that's what comes to my mind first. |
Mattinator95 said: If she needs Shido's power to use her 12th bullet, then why is she able to use it twice (or three times if you count the Kurumi from 5 years ago) for Shido and Origami? I'll assume she just needs more energy for the 30-year jump or something like that.Congintive said: Dude that's spoilers at least put spoilers around that. Not it's not it . It should have been said already ( season 2) Aside, Phantom's form just reminds me of Daedalus from Sora no Otoshimono. |

Sadly, I accidentally spoiled myself. If you really pay attention, I think you can guess already. I didn't see it before I spoiled it, but I hadn't seen Phantom enough at that point to pay attention. Knowing Phantoms identity brings along an entirely new mystery though. |
