| Seriously what in the world is a pink haired want to be magical girl with a costume doing in the next episode? I hope the detective gives out some information but the pink haired girl is......O_o |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
scandal said: OftheFlesh said: JonathanDC said: At least the trailer for next episode involved some Hei rescuing Suou from Hazuki, meaning there'll be a bit of action to look forward to while we wade through the detective bits next ep. nah it ain't suou; She's with 'em detective guys. If you look closely it's actually Hei kidnapping Hazuki's bitch (forgot the name) Yoko? Aye, I mistook her for Suou somehow. Didn't see much hair, so I based it on the petite body size. I went back and looked, saw brownish hair. Mah baaaad. I was wondering how if that was Suou how she got into another mess. Makes more sense this way. And will also help drive the plot; I think that that chick in particular knows a fair amount. Meaning Hei's going to have some fun information gathering time soon. *is looking forward to some torture* >:D |
 |
| I'm guessing Suou shares Shion's powers like Hei does with his sister. This was an ok episode that seemed a little out of place so late in the game. Also, there was something about the way the episode was done that made it feel cheap. Not sure what it was, though. |
| I'm kind of sad that Tanya died. I was hoping they would give her more screentime and more character development between her and Suou. But I guess that was a good way to kill her off (to have the two stare at each other and suddenly remembering each others' friendship). I don't mind the stupid detective being back, but I'm curious how they will end this, since it is ending soon. I bet the new bad guys (Yoko and a few others?) will get killed off in two seconds the next time they meet with Hei. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Does anyone notice in the preview that Hei finally had his hair cut and shaved his beard? Look carefully at this picture:  Cheers, everyone, our beloved handsome Hei is BACK! :D |
 |
| Is there anyone who also wonders why Suou walked away like nothing happened after Tanya died? She is a contractor to care much about a random corpse floating in a swim pool? And is there anyone who also wonders why nobody, neither Suou nor Hei, showed the slightest feeling of danger when Tanya was just shot dead right in front of their eyes by an, to them, unknown third party? It is obvious there was a sniper around and he could shoot anyone he wished to. Oh but maybe Suou and Hei already heard its Shion from the anime producer, so no wonder they didnt take the death seriously. This 2nd season is a fail to me. |
| With only a handful of episodes left I'm a little worried about how this will come together in the end. RIP Tanya. There are worst ways to die btw, just ask Nika. |

| Honestly I'm wondering if Hei actually ever lost his powers, like he hardly ever uses them in the first place since he's good without his powers. I laughed when Hei ordered all that food, I don't think Suou has seen him eat like that yet. This CANNOT afford a filler. WHY??? The episode better explain stuff or advance the plot. A 12-ep anime with barely half the story covered (I mean, they just got to tokyo.) should make use of the 4 eps left. Otherwise it's going to be a rushed ending, unless they give us a surprise extension or something. |
 |
| Man, I didn't see Tanya's death coming. |
 |
| Based on the subs...Madame Oreille saying something about Memory of the Future so is it safe to say that Shion can manipulate the future by seeing memories of it himself or see the future itself. If so then can I assume that he saw that his father would be killed and made someone look like him....saw that Tanya would kill Suou and killed her? Also Ilya killed the daughter of that guy.....nice insult I did to him putting a pic of him dead...serves him right in episode 7 to be killed like that by Hei....child killer sick person. noteDhero said: That's extra apart from what I have said above. That I also agree but then his price is still the same....does he really share only or can he copy other powers? I'm guessing Suou shares Shion's powers like Hei does with his sister. |

In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| you know, everytime I watch the opening when the chorus starts you see nika and tanya and the other kids playing happily, now I think that that isn't going to happen. You kids begging for screen time for yin should think if that is reasonable. as of now yin is stuffed in a huge metal box, even if they stuck a camera in there it would be really dark you are not going to see anything. |
 |
| I wonder what would happen if Amber, Yin, Misaki, and Suou were locked in a room with Hei. :o  |

In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| This episode isn't such a power episode like episode 6 was but it was amazing on it's own. Hei is just awesome, he can use anything as a weapon even without his contractor powers. It made me happy to see that the old Hei is starting to come back (i.e. his appetite XD) and that the chance of him getting a shave is nearing. Oh lol~ On Suou and Tanya, their friendship is really cool and all but all is fair in love and war,and I pity Tanya so much not because she died but because she died with too much regrets - half of which she doesn't even recognize due to her being a contractor. Now it's clear that Shion and Mr. Pavlichenko (sp?) are alive and still helping Suou in the end. What makes me curious in this episode is what Misaki discovered at the end. Surely it wasn't made for us to hint up so maybe in the next episode we'll figure it out? Oh and look, detective guy is back. Oh boy, not this again. Hoping for comedy though :P |

| Ok so me and a friend of mine where having a long discussion about the New season of Darker than black the other day. And given the pacing of the show so far his theory seems reasonable. The show is going to end on a weird note with no real climax and no questions answered. Leaving the audience generally going WTF? Then the OVA's will start, bridging the gap between the 1 and 2 seasons. It will also build suspense and excitement because it will heavily hint at more episodes. Then when the OVA's are over the studio will announce that there is in fact a second part to the season that will begin at the end of the OVA's. With the studio using the OVA's as a way of generating popularity to the series. And there will be much rejoicing. |
| Yes, I'm so glad that Tanya died. She was too much. And Hei ate so much like the first season. That was really good to see. Shioun is alive with he's father? I knew that. I just can't wait to see when Suou is going to meet them. One person I really miss is Goran. No more.. And yes. Huang ofc. NOOOO! Kurasawa is back. I just can't stand this guy. He can be fun at some parts, but mostly annoying and boring. He ruins the whole series. And I finally know exactly what Izanami is. |

Unless they go with a total deus ex ending. Which doesn't seems too far fetched considering the spoke of "memories of the future" and we only have 4 episodes left. Really wonder how they will manage to wrap this is up in a satisfying way. Anyway I thought the whole train escape music was quite interesting, it was not particularly good nor bad really. I just found myself focus my hearing on it for a few seconds. So there was at least something special about it :P |
| the pink haired girl again...i´d already forgoten about those two...why!! for some reason im mising yin alo T_T mephi said: Hei and food=awesome. |

| : O Kirihara without glasses and with her hair loose, I did not recognize her : o Yeah! That's our Hei! : D Eating alot again~ And awesome reaction from Hei hearing about bombs on the train, None xD "loli doll". I lol'd xD Effective way to stop a train anyway, and Hei's cool as ice, as usual : > And so July acted on his own and started to look for Suou? Hmm.. a pool.. I'm guessing there might be some Yin? : D Aww no Yin D: But that was quite a hole blasted up in Tanya : o Say what now? Shion's got the same rifle summoning as Suou? Oh well, anyway, I'm seriously starting to get these Amber-vibes O.o Tl;dr, gief moar Yin nao! Lol the detective and his side-kick are back xD... |

| Well it must be boring to hear it now in the 78th post but still going to repeat : I love Hei eating normally again."Ureshi" "And you , despite being a human , cant do anything outside the bounds of your logical framework"~ heis so HOT with or wothout powers , with or without beard, i could just jump on him anytime!!! Damn the pink haired girls voice irritates me... Monad said: But my biggest question is how the hell did he knew that they would end up there so he can sit with a gun? Maybe they can locate suou with her locket thing.. Bug girl is dead and am happy. I hate bugs. Cockroaches? That's the most disgusting thing ever Oh yes me too , they just showed too much bug in this episode. I had to sanitize myself after watching it. francismeunier said: cool boy you have thought it through.Based on the subs...Madame Oreille saying something about Memory of the Future so is it safe to say that Shion can manipulate the future by seeing memories of it himself or see the future itself.

 |
| I wonder if anyone else noticed the slight issues on the visual aspects and character design of this episode, anyway the more I watch the more I enjoy DtB :) |
Linalee-Stratos said: Maybe they can locate suou with her locket thing.. or maybe he's that Contractor who can see future |
| No more drinking, so back to eating. |
| The bugs don't looking like cockroaches. I'm starting to miss electricity. |
 |
| pretty interesting o-o!! |

x0utmyheart said: I wonder what would happen if Amber, Yin, Misaki, and Suou were locked in a room with Hei. :o You forgot the pink-haired girl xD. |
| Yay, Hei's big hunger is back xD I missed it. bakuramariks said: I think i saw the old Hei 0_0. No beard, no long hair. Look at the preview for the next ep. The one carrying... Suou? That actually could be him...Too little details to tell for sure though. But I like Heibo D: And it was pretty visible that Suou didn't shoot Tanya, the bullet flew more from the side, not from the front... |

I was honestly expecting him to get his powers back before his old appearance. Also, dumb question, but why is he still holding onto that toolbox? I mean, it's fairly obvious that he's not a worker wherever he infiltrated, as he's currently kidnapping Yoko and being attacked. XD |
| |
| Some of you guys said that the "Memories of the Future" Project uses a contractor that can see & thus alter the future. But AMBER could already do that. And the 2 components are Yin & Shion/Suou. Maybe, it has something to do with something Amber had previously found out. Once again, Hei shows his Series 1-type dislike of people who stereotype contractors as bad guys. |
| Wow. I am so very impressed. I personally thought Tanya's death was brilliantly done. Not melodramatic just the quick shock type and then getting on with their lives. I would have hated it if there was any crying and screaming -.- Anyway, I liked the vibe snowgreen said: Oosran said: Cenedess said: And it was pretty visible that Suou didn't shoot Tanya, the bullet flew more from the side, not from the front...

 |
| Way better than the past three episodes, which means it was thoroughly average. It vaguely tried its hands on running thematic elements, and it wasn't all ham-handed, though shallow. Genma and Hazuki carry this show. Damn shame they are barely in it. |

| Okay, this episode didn't really solve anything. Maybe next time. And WTF? The detective and the cosplayer again?XD And I was just thinking no more filler EPs. |
| If I have to say it now who is the final boss in this season, rather than saying it is Shion I will put my bet on Syndicate. And the person behind Syndicate is no other one that more fit than Oreille "Madame". |

| Tanya ;_; |
 |
| Damn, nice episode. Such poignancy is felt for Tanya. She was just gradually getting her memory back, and her and Suou looked like they could get along, however to the demise of her brother Shion who shot her. Man that was sad. Why did he do that? What is his motive? Hei has finally got his other remuneration back, EATING!! He killed that guy's daughter, what a cold way to die, only to find out the person you were trying to get back to the syndicate was the one who killed your daughter. Anyway, good episode. |

| Glad Tanya is dead. She was an undeveloped character, and with only 4 episodes left, it made sense to kill her off. Plus, she was an annoying bitch. |
| Good episode. All I can say for now. |

She was not annoying...they brainwashed and changed her completely. How is it her fault for something they forced upon her? |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| this episode was awesome xD and tanya got killed =0 i was hoping her and suou could be friends again and all but oh well next episode looks like itll be good gai is back xD i missed that detective and his pink haired assistant :D |
