| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Even though it was kinda cheezy, the battle between Ayano and Kazuma was pretty cool. Whlie i still don't like this arc, this episode was good. The kiss that Kazuma gave Ayano was funny. I loved Ayano's reaction. Only 1 episode left, looking forward to it. |
 |
| Haha...The kiss on the neck was funny...Fight was kind of boring but still entertaining...Final episode looks like it will have a cliff hanger or be rushed...Second season anyone? =P |
 |
| I was hoping Kazuma would stay evil at least till the last episode. Those black winds and his eyes really looked better than they originally do. Oh yeah, Nanase was looking great in those black clothes. We really need more of that before the show ends. |
| How...anti-climatic. |
| Good to see the normal Kazuma back. The evil version was cool, but I prefer the personality he has when he's messing with Ayano like that. I thought Nanase could have gotten a better outfit, imho it looked a bit over-the-top just like that pervet's fetish. Looking forward to the final ep. |

| kazuma is back..i love this episode..he kiss ayano neck..lol |
 |
| I can't believe he said that! "Be ready. I am selfish and I have very strong desires", LMAO. I was expecting the kiss, but not the... implied comment, haha. cyruz said: Good to see the normal Kazuma back.

 |
| Kazuma is funnier but still has his coolness in his normal self which i think is da best in a character |
 |
| Finnaly, good kazuma is back. It was starting to get too clichê..... Like, there is thousends of storys of main characters going berserk.... Btw, it was only me or did someone else noticed all those fanservices? It would be funny if he deflected that attack and said something like: WTF! I'm already back!!! (But then im not sure if would be original) How...anti-climatic. xD |
| Can't wait till the last ep! Hehe...pretty smooth kiss in my honest opinion! ;D |

AirStyles said: Just out of curiousity... they are first cousins... right? it's this a bit wrong? No they are second cousins, still a little disturbing, but not as bad as first cousins. |
 |
| Kazuma is finally back to the way he was. ^^ |
thatguy said: The problem isn't only that he want to kill the bad guy, but his utter disregard for anybody else. Ever since the beginning facing the Wind demon he wanted to protect everybody, how survival was more important than anything else. To forsake all that for some vengeance kill was pretty much a 180 douchebag turn around. I agree though. Kazuma spared him once, and look how this dude turned up? Better to correct your mistake and just kill him this time around. But this is a naive/noble anime so I'm not expecting anything else.Why was he even mad again? Technically was he even evil considering he was going after a bad guy who was manipulating people and doing black magic? I mean is it so bad to kill a dude that EVERYONE hates? And you'd think Ayano would be more worried about her friends...still kinda like wtf about that fat guy making her his slave. It was like a hentai doujin or some shit. As for why he got mad, I think it was the mindscrew of seeing his lover cloned and seeing his old enemy or something. Either way, I thought this was pretty stupid as well. Well, we can all put the blame on human irrationality but it's a pretty shitty reason in terms of plot. Anyways, I'm glad he manage to remember who he is before Ayano manage the final hit. It seems he still have that cool quality again. But this last arc really was pretty bad. Oh well, I'll rate it after the last episode. |
| meh he wasn't even trying really. I liked him as a badass better. Ayano is still a clueless idiot and didn't even know how she "won". I don't like them much as a couple. |
 |
| Yay, time for the last episode! Needs more Kazuma x Ayano! |

| was it a kiss on the neck, it was almost vampireish... still the whole cousin thing seems to be a mute point nowadays (even her own dad wanted them to make a mistake complete with tissues and waste paper basket). i mean even if they thought they were brother and sister, yes i'm looking at you SAO... yeah... cousins... doesn't matter if 1st or 2nd cousins.. it's still wrong and it's still family. ! |
| The only reason Ayano "beat" Kazuma is because evil black wind Kazuma = weak Kazuma they both realized that (she was pissed off because she "could see the limit of his power" and when he snapped out he said "what's up with this feeble wind"). I'm glad that Ayano was able to convince Kazuma's dad to back off because he'd most likely kill his son that night. Looking back at first episodes you actually see how Kazuma was still kind of like he was in the past 3 episodes. Ayano and Ren changed him into a better person, one who was able to put his past behind him (for the most part) and even hang out with his family again including his father (that particular relationship is certainly... unique, but by no means as hostile as in the episode he sent his dad to the hospital). |
| ok he is back. nice fight Ayano AirStyles said: Just out of curiousity... they are first cousins... right? it's this a bit wrong? Nothing wrong in japan lol |
 |
| Good that Kazuma is back. Nice fight between Ayano and him. The kiss and especially Ayanos reaction was cute :D Only one episode left, this goes to fast :-/ |
 |
zq said: yay only 1 ep left, finally, bored myself to death. agree. This show is terrible. I waited years to finally see this anime and i won't drop it now |
| lol dead serious does anyone take the retard who wasted his time writing a review about why he thinks this is 1/10? |
| Well I was expecting his defeat... Kazuma was actually weaker in this "Badass" form because he used only muscles (power) and no brain at all (strategy & techniques). Think about it, if it was like that, why didn't he use this "Grim reaper" mode in the earlier episodes to kill that giant turtle and the other youma, but he had to resort to his Contractor power? Just because his power is actually stronger when he is sane and actually using his brain than just using raw power. |

| That so called 'battle' was so ridiculous I thought I'd die of laughter. A snotty arrogant bitch getting a drop on a wicked battle-hardened contractor who's been called a power monster repeatedly? Yeah, right. Even most cliched run-of-the-mill shounen powerups are better that this. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| So, Kazuma is good again. |

CG said: That so called 'battle' was so ridiculous I thought I'd die of laughter.

Even most cliched run-of-the-mill shounen powerups are better that this. I'm not sure how people fail to follow this, but Kazuma effectively lost his contract and most of the power that came with it in his "dark" form. When he came to his senses, he was immediately immune to Ayano's attacks. You can see a similar parallel early on in the series when Kazuma reveals to Kureha how much weaker she is with Zenon's dark magic than her natural Earth powers. Without contractor powers, Kazuma is actually relatively weak. His dad (who is weaker than Ayano's dad in his prime), would curb-stomp him, and the LN made it clear both his and her parents believed Ayano would eventually surpass them (Genma and Juugo), but she lacked the discipline to fully wield the Crimson Flame. Expecting Dark Kazuma to defeat the Crimson Flame is a pretty bizarre misunderstanding of the series, TBH. |

| Harem is the opiate of the Anime fandom masses. |
| Cheesy and cliched arc. Dark Kazuma was better than light Kazuma. Why are they opposing him anyway? This last arc has brought the show down. Now I'm just looking forward to seeing Ayano's friends in sexy outfits next episode hopefully. |
 |
| I wish Kazuma stayed badass, its not like he was doing anything bad anyways :( |
