Great job this episode for really making me cry........it's really touching seeing yomi - despite her injuries, she still takes the efforts to move her hand and touch on Kagura.
Such a pity, i couldn't bear to live if i was her.

Gah...so sad, if only Kagura never left the room...Anyway, couldn't anyone such as the department head, Nori or Kagura deduce that maybe Mei was somehow involved with the death of Yomi's foster father, which is why they had an almighty battle?! Then, maybe they could sympathize with her better and give her more support. Luck seems to be quite harsh on Yomi at the moment.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

I don't see how people can shrug this off as fan-service. If they wanted fan service, we'd see nipples. Showing the cuts on her body is the easiest way to show the state of her mentality/spirituality, not to mention her physical body.

then the evil villain boy raping her... she is definitely being "raped" in the brain, she doesn't want this at all but the boy makes her think she wants it.

The crying scene was so amazingly touching. I had to go back and watch it several times over.

And that song, that goddamn song. It was PERFECT!

Oh my gosh-ness.... So our dear ymi survived out of pure luck and willpower and in the end the f-ing Butterfly BoY made her suffer.... stupid thing.... I can't believe the stupid BoY actually turned the poor Yomi to his sides... well... kinda... just as he says... He just pushes a little all the feelings enclosed in their hearts.... Damned stone... You turned the poor Yomi into the bad side...
She didn't survive "out of luck". The butterfly boy targeted her nerves and throat on purpose so she'd suffer as much as possible. Because she isn't like Mei, her hatred wasn't "fit for the stone". Granted, there was hatred in that moment but that was a isolated (and perfectly justified) manifestation of such an emotion. So he tortured her both physically and mentally, made it so everyone would doubt her and her whole world would crash in the top of her head (as if her situation wasn't bad enough already...). Now I can say I hate him xD

Anyway, the episode was more slow paced than I thought it'd be, but also even more packed with emotion than I expected. It was awful to see Yomi in that state and everyone blaming her. The scenes with Kagura at the hospital brought me to tears. Also, I don't blame Kagura for Yomi's breakdown. Even if she was the last straw, her reaction was perfectly understandable and she did regret the way she reacted and was ready to go back there and apologize. Kagura was the only one that'd still support Yomi. She can't be blamed.

The fact Yomi was unable to speak to correct the misunderstandings was terribly frustrating. I was wrong about Yomi being killed outright though, she survived but was severely maimed. The antagonist then took advantage of her being barely able to move to force the corruption of her body with the stone. Her mind was also unable to resist at a time when she thought all was already lost.

So that's why Yomi told Kagura that Nori was a coward in episode 2. She thought he didn't have the courage to visit her even once when she was in the hospital. Also, intense drama scenes. Justice for Yomi! But alas...

Stupid Kagura, Noriyuki, and all the pplz, she just needed more support and ppl to believe in her, during her time of healing to keep her away from the darkside loll. I'm rooting for Yomi and her hatred now lol. Just hope Yomi kills the little boy though.


My thoughts exactly.

Okay, so now we have the reasons as to why she hates Kagura. She was the only treasure she had left, the only person she thought would never leave her. Maybe she also hated her subconsciously because of her carefree and whiny personnality while she was the one carrying the burden all the time, even when they were exorcists. I guess we'll get all the reasons during those last three episodes.
I liked the subtle ED change as well, with Yomi going on alone.

Also, I didn't spot any fanservice, Yomi's boobs could hardly be considered as such in these circumstances.

I felt bad for Yomi, everyone was kinda turning on her. I mean first she lost her father, and had her family turn on her. Then all of this.

Not really Noriyuki or Kagura's fault though. Yomi never got to explain herself, but then again she really did murder Mei.

That butterfly kid is a real asshole, hope he gets brutally killed later on.

I guess we are about to go back to the present finally?

She really could have used her phone to tell the others the truth about what Mei really did. She can't just think that people know what was going on in their family. Though the others are stupid as well for not even trying to help or understand her.
Now she is insane, congratulations to both Yomi and the others! :/

No wonder Yomi called Nori a coward in episode 2. He is a coward indeed (unless there is a valid reason for him to ignore Yomi)...

And that kid! So good in manipulating. He just waited for Yomi to be so unlucky and at the verge of breaking down then give the stone to her. Tsk tsk...

I can't really see where this is going... Okay, so we know everything now. Back to the present (episode 2). All the guys we love and know are dead. Kagura just got eviscerated by Yomi. That leaves demonic Yomi (category A) and the butterfly guy (category A+?) left, killing everybody off.

I hope this won't be the first anime I watched where the main characters actually die and 'lose' to some unknown evil. Reminds me of Death Note, but heck, Death Note's ending was a satisfying conclusion.
Um, hello..."prequel". This leads to the manga. Obviously this is just a pure "go read the manga NOW!" thing.


What chapter is it on after the show?

I think it's too soon for Yomi to hate Kagura like that and be ready to accept the stone but I guess it has to be done to finish this in 12 eps.

little boy antagonists with white hair always bring the show down down in my estimation. It's such a clichee. At least this one doesn't talk too much.

The uncensored episode had two shards going through Yomi's left eye. I'm watching the show uncensored.

It was tough to watch the brat enjoy himself all over Yomi's body, and Kagura needs to be more stronger.

I agree with the above poster (years earlier) who was rooting for Yomi against everyone! Go get them Hot Evil Zombie Girl!! Meanwhile, the warped butterfly boy is just doing his evil deeds. Now I can't figure out how the computer maps keep showing him popping around and nobody says "Hey.....evil energy mastermind shows up right here". He is sitting on the freeway sign for quite a while and nobody looks at the map ....they just look at the big fire beast that steamed himself like brown rice in a cooker. Oh well.....time for some Yomi revenge/hatred/hormone rage. Redrum....redrum!!

Wow, Noriyuki. What a fucking coward. Glad he's dead. I don't care.
Not convinced with how she went evil, though. I would have killed that kid on the spot if I was her.

So I was wrong about yomi. She still had to suffer more. Poor girl.
I really love the relationship of the girls. In theory this kind of story isnt even rare, but it just feels so right.

And I am already salty that there is no proper sequel for this because afaik the manga is just worse.
I try my best to avoid these kind of baits but I guess I fall for it again.

I hope this kid dies a horrible death, he’s Kyubey incarnate!

I really feel for Yomi, she let her hatred take over but she’s a good person.
I wonder how this is going to resolve or if it’ll end in a cliffhanger...

This episode was legit ;_; tho Kagura leaving was kinda weird.


First two episodes left me cold, what came after wasn't half bad, but I started feeling invested after the beginning of the second half.

I wish I could get my hands on a bane stone. It would be a nice feeling to have a body in top condition. I also have plenty of hate to convert to power. Then I will use every bit of that power to destroy capitalism. I freaking hate capitalism.

No one knows the truth in this anime, which serves to highlight the sheer utility of zombie puppets. Not only can butterfly boy create pawns from bodies, but their undead forms are actually superior to their living selves physically, while still capable of maintaining their original personality and deflecting suspicion.
