Good episode, since I spoiled myself with a scan I can guess where it's going now. But nonetheless, I'm looking forward to the next episode. Glad they're back together.

Good episode. The flashbacks of Cal are painful at this stage.
A heartwarming reunion indeed with Ein/Zwei.

Finally Lizzy kills Claudia. A little nostalgic with the whole beach thing but a fitting end for her. Never liked Claudia at all.

Looks like it but it really is heartwarming. It's kind of like the one in the Gundam reference you have but like 90% less. The thing most worrying is Cal!!!!!!!!!

OH YES ELEN! OMG SO SWEET.
GO REIJI, KILL THAT FUCKING BASTARD SCYTHE GUY AND FREE ELEN FROM HER MISERY!

So Elen is only living up until now because of Reiji. <3
Damn, I love this series. Too bad many big figures already died. (Cal, McCunnen, Godoh, etc.) Although I'm not going to be satisfied unless Scythe died.

I gotta say i think this was the best scene in the entire show so far, finally a solid scene between the two,it was really well done and sweet. Awesome episode hopefully Ein is finally able to kill Scythe and put her past behind her.

That had to be one of the most powerful anime episodes I have ever watched. The scene between Reiji and Ein, was incredibly powerful. I haven't had something hit me that much since Clannad: After Story. And the symbolism, I mean DAMN the symbolism in this show is beautiful. I cannot wait to see how it concludes. This is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite anime series.

Okay so where to start:

1) the Elen/Reji was totally cheesy at some points, and the fight was pretty abismal and of course it was inevitable that it was going to happen so tbh that scene did near enough nothing to me

2) Claudia's death....... well I know a lot of people have been saying she was out of character but maybe that's the point, to me she knew that was coming! Maybe she was just enjoying her final few moments having a run on a nice beach? xD but you get the idea

3) Obviously we see Cal in the next episode but its clearly flashback or at least that's what I see it as, in answer to whether I want her dead or not, I'd say no. She has actually grown on me quite a lot, and yes she's immature and childish but she has character and a personality unlike Elen who has shown me near enough nothing (until maybe this episode) I was more upset when the house blew up, rather than when Elen was shot put it that way!

so did Claudia really die? that's a shame if so.

Scythe has always been the real enemy.Looks like has 2 new phantoms.

and I'm guessin Cal is somehow involved. maybe with that guy from way back that Ein hunted?

still just want Scythe dead already.

so Reji has done it with Claudia, Cal, and Erin?

I actually think I liked Cal better. Not sure about all the Erin love, she's kinda bland.

This was a great episode, Ein redeemed herself a little this episode.

My favorite part was when Reiji was thinking of Cal. I found it to be a pretty touching moment.

Did Claudia really die there? It'd be surprising for her to give up like that. She was smart enough to evade Inferno forever.

Yes....Ein and Zwei are back together and moving to Mexico by the looks of it. And ScytheMaster has a couple of extra puppets in the works too.

I guess I was wrong about Ein, she isn't such an idiot after all I still don't really like her character though but there still is room for improvement. The more I watch this anime the more I like Scythe's character he's such an evil bastard, I love it.

Didn't Lizzie say she didn't want to be a slave? But she still killed her old friend, way to go hypocrite. On the other side it might just be because she knew Claudia didn't have any options left and she put her out of her misery. Or they pulled another fake death which I hope they didn't.

The final run of Claudia... at first I was just like, ok she's probably taking a break and just having a dash of fun at the beach. Then I saw the ominous look on Lizzy's face as she began to walk, and then that OST started playing... I had to pause and rewind a full minute and re-watch that again, but with full understanding of what was really happening.

That was one of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen in my life. "Until the end", she kept on running, her hair blowing in the wind, laughing sincerely to herself, with a hint of regret. Her closest friend, the one who knew every bit of Claudia's suffering, reasoning, purpose, journey and character, she had to pull the trigger. They both knew it was coming as well, ever since they locked eyes in that shop... Claudia kept on running until the end, her footsteps etched onto the sand in the beach, only to be washed away by the water tides...

So fucking deep. That was art. Lizzy even buried her next to Romero as well...

I gave the first arc a 10/10, and now this second arc gets a 10/10. One more left it seems...

- The Eren/Reiji reunion was great, especially Eren explaining her real reason for living, with a tear escaping her eye. I would normally have so much to say, but Claudia stole the episode for me. Though, from here on out the focus will be on them, and supposedly Cal (good to see her in the preview). Also, I heard the real sad scenes didn't even come yet... I need to prepare myself...

I personally like her because I think she is a sympathetic character. Although she doesn't have much of a personality, you can't really hate her for it. She has no clue at all whatsoever regarding her past and thus has no where to go. Of course not everyone is like her, but I think if I were in that situation, I would feel helpless and wouldn't know where to go or what to do...especially when there's a creepy guy like Scythe Master around. It's sad to see how loyal she was to Scythe Master precisely because she doesn't know what else she can do and where she belongs in the world. And in the end, she is a really dependent character who relies on a person as her raison d'etre. First it was Scythe Master, now it's Reiji. Before she didn't have the will to live because Scythe Master ran and she had no idea where he was, and now she also wanted to die if Reiji is no longer living. Anyways, that's just my two cents on why I like Eren.

I liked this episode a lot. Probably the best one so far for me. Although I liked to complain about Claudia, in the end, I still respect her. She did everything with confidence and never had any doubts about what she was doing and her goal. In the end, she knew that she had lost, and I can't believe I actually shed a few tears when she knelt down and waited for Lizzie to shoot her. Beautiful scene, reminded me a lot of Psycho Pass.

My favorite part about this episode though was that interaction between Rieji and Eren. You can really see the damage that Scythe Master had done onto the both of them. Again, one is Eren being dependent on someone because she has no other reason to live, and Reiji, ruining his life since he can no longer go back to how it used to be. Neither of them had any will to live, unless the other was alive at that point. It was heartbreaking to see the both of them giving up like that. I like the symbolism of Eren's scar, it was a promise between both of them to keep on surviving. I'm glad to see them together again.

Ah, finally that weird eyes thing is kinda explained. I knew there was some weird mind control and it was related to the eyes, but it wasn't always shown so I wasn't sure.

Our duo is back, but it seem like Reiji forgot someone behind :P
So Cal is alive? It would highly possible when I think about it, she was pretty clever, so she could have left or hide when she saw the car coming.

Even if I wasn't a fan of Claudia, her death scene was sad. All alone with no one to rely on.

Now we also have a bunch of new Phantom. It might be funny, Phantom and Phantom vs. Phantom, Phantom, Phantom, Phantom, etc. I'm getting confused now xD

awwww my Claudia died.. I know she deserved it but I like her..

the duo is back once again and I hope this time they won't be separated anymore but if they will then one of them should die so it can be final.. do not repeat the same annoying process

also why didn't Reiji searched for Cal's body?? did he really think that Cal died from that explosion??

Beauty in all things... Something ends, something begins. Living are left to mourn. Reunion.

Dat embrace of Reiji and Elen. That whole scene was one of the best in this show.

But Clau is dead... I kinda like her, living her life to the fullest. Now she is lying peacefully next to her brother. Lizzie sure had the worst task to do.

And Cal is alive... maybe... cause that's flashback next time :/

dam good episode one of my favorites so far
ashame there is no touchy Romance between Elen and Reji I kiss would have been perfect there
Side note I'm like 99.99999999999999% sure Cal isn't dead
What I asume happen is that it was her bomb that went off whe n the intruders came hence the clock
And seeing the undamage gun and pocket watch at the end makes me almsot sure
and the prev for the next episode has her init Hopefully there's is no problems between Cal and Elen since this anime isn't a true Romance I'm sure there wont be
great episode
scythe doesn't mind that she ran off Because he wants to test his new dolls on the old ones since he has that kind of personality
