She is Hamyuts o_O!
Yeah he is a pimp..XD
I wish the scene on the barn didn't cut off..it will be steamy :P

So can i say Hamyuts looking for someone to kill herself? and Matt probably the only living guy who can kill her..so far

Still didn't explained about the previous acting director died or missing..did Hamyuts and Matt kill that guy?

Well next will be Mirepoc's turn again

Hmmm...I don't know why but I still think that the one he kisses in the bar is hotter, maybe it's just my weird tastes kicking in again...

Nope, there's Colio capable of killing her too and seems like she was an M for liking to be stabbed by him ;) (Ahhhhh...Hamyuts, I c wut u did thar, you slutty you...)

Oh? Ooh? Colio came up as a conversational subject? Hamy dreamt of him killing her? Could it be.. Might he actually be returning from the dead somehow sometime? ⊂( ゚ヮ゚)⊃
And then we get some past, great, just what we needed ◕ ◡ ◕
Matt was more fun in the past, and Hamyuts was even better in the past ( ̄ー ̄)
Hamyuts is/was a masochist ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
So-so episode overall. ┐(-。ー')┌

For some odd reason I prefer Hammy with glasses rather than Hammy the way she is now. What a crazy M slut she is... but also cool in a way.

I liked Matt before, but now he's my favorite character from the show.

As always, I'm loving every episode, this is my favorite show from the season.

That scene in the barn was sexy x3 I actually kind of like them together.

Yup, same here.

Also, why bring up Colio now? o.O You think he'll still be somewhat important to the plot?

Matt's ability is to predict...around 2sec ahead.Not usefull for predict far into the future but sure useful in battle <2 sec can determine between life and death>
The story of every episode bout Banttora books is so short(this episode only last less than 2 minute)

What can I say? Matt is the best. I'll even forgive the fact that there was a lot of Hamutz in this episode because pimp!Matt made up for it. X3

He really should have killed her back in the barn, though. But this ep makes my wishful thinking in one of the discussion boards for a previous ep -- that Matt will kill Hamutz -- seem more likely. Yes plsssss. Now.

I'm going to take this episode as confirmation that the past 11 episodes were all a roundabout way of characterizing Hamyuts. This episode, though showing a little new (and I guess important) information, was completely out of context, and therefore pretty useless right now. I honestly don't care for it since it brings to light the fact that after however many years, Hamyuts was ordered to be killed, and not only does that not happen, she ends up being the director. It's just nonsense to me. If I'd guess, I'd say Hamyuts is somewhat involved in the previous director's death.

Yeah, agreed with this. It's one of the reasons why I don't like her: the writers seems to be creating characters and killing them off simply to flesh out Hamutz. :/ That kind of characterisation annoys me.

We now have the confirmation that Matt and Hamy form a very awkward couple. Still, this flashback episode was both extremely anticlimactic and much needed for the global understanding of the series. And indeed, Tatakau Shishou is definitely an experimental and irrational but great series.

Oh, and next time's focus will be Mirepoc, which is a good thing !

This doesn't feel like a short stories collection. There's a fundamental difference between something like Aoi Bungaku and this. That every story depends on intervention or commentary from Hamyuts is a tipoff to that. That she's the only one who brings up Colio Tonies and is the central point for all the plot development is more clues in that direction.

But I could be wrong, and this could be totally about nothing, and be a bigger failure than I imagined. I don't hope so.

I bet the previous acting director got pwned by hamyuts.. and now she's in charge..
Or he got beaten by something powerful.. and only hamyuts could kill it:o

Anyways.. I would like to see more in-depth hamyuts footage.. she's such an interesting character :o

Btw.. it was funny to see how young volken got teased a bit by hamyuts..
and the trainer said somethin like: "Volken, your infatuation with women will only lead to your demise." lol

I bet he got teased a lot by hamyuts.. fysically and psychologically.. but I wanna see more footage!!!

I DEMAND MORE HAMUTS SCENES!!!

Ya I'm hoping he comes back too. The way they just ended his story was lame and unfinished.

I agree with the people that think Hamy killed the old acting director. But then again I think it would have to be kept a secret from the rest of the armed librarians or else they'd probably go against her. Unless that's how a new acting director is chosen, by fighting the current one.

Ok based from this episode, I can assume that Matt was truly in love with Hamyuts, and still is. Even after he witnessed her dangerous potential, he never killed her. He listened to her request and that's what's cool about him. I guess his love for her is what's keeping him from settling down with another girl. He did state once that he finds nothing wrong with getting married and living a simple life with a wife and kids or something like that

Actually in a later episode they show that she was experimented on as a child. They tortured her and messed around with her brain in order to turn her into the perfect killing machine-in other words, a monster, as she constantly describes herself. That's why she's lost touch with sanity

i thought matt was just the second in charge and therefore had to spend more time with hamy. at best i thought he stopped by her house since they were friends but apparently not lol.

it looked like in the past they were much closer but now they are just cooling it. their relationship looks pretty much undecided at this point. maybe it's the directing i dunno.

and i finally realize why people say that either she dies or the world does. i wonder how she got that monstrous power.

I actually think Hamyuts was much sexier when she had the glasses and country girl dress look going on. Kinda reminded me of Hanekawa of Monogatari series.
So Hamyuts has been walking around with a death wish since the beginning, huh? Interesting. I'd really like to know what it is that is her background in all ways.

And Matt, hats off mate. Wha a player.

Wow, so Matt and Hamy were a thing?

I actually thought Hamy was just an innocent girl that got influence to be crazy. It seems she was already crazy right from the start XD

I do love Hamy in her farm clothes!

So, Chacoly was the name of her mascot? Though I remember her calling that mascot when she was sewing her shirt.

LOL, not surprising Hamy is the type of person who likes it rough in the bed :P

Hamy is freaking strong. I wonder how she got that strong or was she gifted all along?

She is a monster indeed!
