Jiji accepting Shiro's or Sora's underwear? (P.S. I vote Jibril' panties too, Steph still has a skirt covering her ;P) YOU FOOLS! The point with taking Steph's panties is making her feel shame! Everyone knowing, that Steph doesn't have panties on, yet having her skirt in the way is what makes her sense of shame a thousand times more delicious! Whils Jibril wouldn't give a flying fuck about it. She'd be like a doll. Sure, you removed her clothing, but she wouldn't do anything different from before. Also, another thing I'm missing from the novels is Sora proclaiming, that noone will die, adressed directly to Jibril after her speech of how Sora is worthy of her for being prepared to kill. |
Silver_Raven said: Everyone is talking about the ending, Sora is missing and stuff. But if you notice, when Shiro and Sora are playing on that console before the episode ends, there is a date, day 19, but after the ending song, Shiro checks her phone for Sora`s number and there is also a date! It was day 21, I think that must be connected to what happend to Sora. yeah... it has been pointed out about 4-5 times already... And at least 2 times (other than you) in the last 36 hours... |
| One of the best episodes so far especially the end, a second season is a must :D |
 |
| Dat ending. Dem feels. Stephs panties. |
| Why did I put a 10 on this anime from the very first episode? THIS is why. Epic thought provoking game-battles with thought processes countered and then re-countered, and then countered yet again! Every line in the series is well thought out and unless the characters specifically state it, there is ALWAYS a meaning in what they say. No line is left useless in the entirety of the show, anime viewers (and LN readers) are always kept on their toes for fear of missing even the slightest tidbit of information which may or may not have huge implications in each and every point of the story. It's been a long long time since I've seen MAL episode discussions consistently reaching 20+ with all comments and discussions exclusively praising and/or speculating on the contents of the episode itself (flaming and anime comparison arguments don't count in my book). Is NGNL THIS good? Yes It IS. Next episode please! I don't want to spoil myself and "accidentally" read the next part of the LN! By the way, did anyone catch that the first "TV gray-scale error" came immediately after Steph stated: Steph: "You mean the Eastern Federation's naming of a date for the game? A whole continent is at stake, so it's going to take more time." *Gray-scale* Sora: "That's why before that" *Gray-scale* Sora: "I'm waiting for someone with more backbone" Everyone looks at door (Closeup on the 19th date) *Gray-scale* Sora: ""They're finally here" (Still showing the 19th date) *Gray-scale* Sora: "You kept me waiting for too long *Gray-scale* Sora: "Yeah I know what you want. Anytime is fine" Picks up Shiro - continues with speech that everyone has already analyzed the hell out of. Sora walks off, Shiro follows can't touch him, everything goes silent Sora: "Now, Let the games begin" Something has been left unsaid in the speech. I haven't played detective in a very, very long time now! |

clannadlover said: Takuan_Soho said: clannadlover said: GreenDrag said: YOU FOOLS!The point with taking Steph's panties is making her feel shame! Too each his own! I can only assume you lean towards S&M, I however maintain that Jibril's definitely wins because she plays along to whatever you are going with and thus I can have ridiculous fun a thousand fold It's nothing to do with S&M, he's talking about the power of suggestion and imagination. Pure nudity is nowhere near as sexy as a long thigh cut that momentarily reveals too much of the leg. Its the hint that inflames the imagination of what lays beneath that is so intoxicating. Sure if all you want to do is to get smashed, than nudity is for you, but if you want to savor it, like an expensive bottle of wine that you can enjoy the aroma, have it dance on your palette, and then leave a glorious aftertaste that makes you glad to be alive, then the suggestion of what is under Steph's skirt is infinitely more pleasing. I disagree, he was talking about shame which usually extends to S&M if even just light S&M. So you argument is invalid!! (and I hope everybody realizes that I'm just joking around since this is a fun topic to mess around in XD) Actually, what I said was yet another part from the novel, that was left out (it was during the shiritori game, where they decided to go with photoing Steph, because Jibril's casual attitude towards nudity made her uninteresting) |
| All of my wtf. That revised ending theme, so haunting and... brilliant somehow. o.O I have no idea what happened at the end there, but I'm certainly loving this anime a lot, holy smokes. o__o |
| Damn, this is getting so exciting, what the hell happened at the end there? WATASHI KININARIMASU.Did they already start the game? oh well.Can't wait to see next episode. Steph's pantsu? go for it Jiiji! |
 |
| Everything had to go wrong at the end. Just holyshit honestly that scared me >.> |
 |
| What happened to Sora at the end i wonder... |
My Candies:     |
| Omg that twist. Really unexpected and now Shiro is by herself. Sora disappearing is probably his plan and I hope it does work. Who is the dude that Sora mentioned in the end? 5/5 for the massive twist. |
| That ending was pretty crazy, especially with all of the weird flickering. I had begun to wonder if the raw source had been recorded during a thunderstorm or something, haha. XD Anyway, this is an interesting turn of events. |

Well I was about to say that you were a genius by missing the mark by a long shot.... you just made me lose the will though... Basically you are almost half right, but at the same time you completely lost sight the target. In case you are interested I already gave two kinds of "help" a few pages ago... on the first "help" I give off clues to figuring out the solution (this is safe to read since it doesn't spoil) - post here Then a few comments after, I quite literally spill the beans cause on the first spoiler I gather all the clues that were told till that time (one of them quite revealing), while on the second spoiler I literally tell everything that is really happening (in case you are trying to figure out without spoilers I wouldn't recommend the consultation of this comment and its spoilers) - post here |

| I thought this was a smart anime, but then they go ahead and throw the dark in there! The 'feels' are real, bro. Bro... Nii... Love the ED. I really want to watch the original ending but I think I'll ruin the suspense. I feel so bad for Shiro. What surprises me the most is that Sora didn't tell Shiro anything anout him disappearing. Was this because Shiro won't let Sora go alone? Why does Sora have to go alone? Not enough information. Great episode 10/10. |
| I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you. ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ Everyday life. |

| What a plot twist.But i bet that is part of the Sora's plan,but still i wonder why only Shiro remembers him and the rest forgot,he must have played a game and lost? O.o thats strange,but however they will surely win because the White Ones Never Lose! And i wonder want kind of last peace he was talking about before vanishing,he said that it was the last peace to conquer the other nation....I think i know how is it going to end,Shiro will be almost loosing the game and fall of despair and then Sora appears with the answer to how in and done,end of the 1st season :D Aahah that new loli cute girl,Izuna is so cute ahah :) So funny watching Shiro & Sora touching Izuna because she is cute ahaha ^^ |

| Quick question how many of you guys think if it was a good idea for Sora to bet the race piece. i think it was a good move because humanity wins not matter what the outcome win or lose and i will leave it that and see if you guys can see want i have seen btw i have not read the light novel so yer XD just things going though my head |

The world was static, never moving forward, never evolving. Almost seemed like a never ending game, so by betting the race piece Sora forced all other races and countries to wake up and start moving if they don't want to be left behind. Besides, it's in the pledges to have fun while playing, so even though I only read the LN till volume 3, I still believe that it in the end it won't care if the race piece is bet or not, as long as someone won the rights to use it against Tet. Ultimately the basic rights of each individual cannot be bet by others since everyone must forcibly play along with everybody. Only each individual can bet their own rights. But this is just pure speculation, and like all those who are are making theories, spectacularly fail... Let's wait and see.. personally I'm still waiting for volume 4 translation to be over... |

Caleb8980 said: As said once you lose your race piece you are nothing more than animals for the race who has your piece I don't think it's exactly like that (I also agree with the rest of quoted sentence), because it would more-or-less contradict with Tet's intention. Remember, obtaining all 16 Race Pieces, in other words counquering all races, gives the owner of the Race Pieces to challenge Tet. Tet's intention (at least how I interpret it) is to force challenger to unite all races against him, not to drive them extinct. 10th Commandment may also be a hint pointing to that intention as it's separated from other commandments. Besides, there isn't stated anywhere - at least for now - that what Fi stated about losing a Race Piece is true. By the way, I didn't read LN. Anyway... Yeah, I think it was pretty smart move, considering Blank is confident that they can win Eastern Federation's game. Sora applied psychological pressure to EF by presenting Blank's knowledge about their game, and by betting Race Piece he cut off all means of escape for EF, thus ensuring that EF will take their time to prepare for the challenge. Thanks to that, he got enough time to react to the "danger" which stems from betting the Race Piece. Regarding that, I formed my own theory after rewatching that episode 15 times and going through this thread to see if I missed any hints. Can't wait for ep9 to see if I'm correct... |

| Jibril pulled a Chitanda |
 |
| Nooo, Sora :o I think they erased all the memories of him and he has to play the game by himself. Kuuhaku never looses... but Sora can. |
| here the thing even if they lose in the next ep which unlikely and you don't even need to guess why its simple hero always win type of story etc. So anyway if they do lose har happens? they are no longer a race and they are lower than the animals but here the thing since they lost won't that mean they no longer have to fellow the 10 rules which means they are free to do want they want in the world |

Especially the race who won the race piece has the most power over them, as they hold their only life line. As long as that race allows it, all races could do with Imanity what they want. That bloodshed doesn't include animals or in general beings that are not part of the Exceed is easily proven, otherwise they would have no meat or fish to eat. EDIT: Yes they themselves then could do the same but each other race has either much better physical specs or magic, hence having a big advantage. Well, the anime didn't mention it...But there is additional rule about sexual activity, for example. If bloodshed is prohibited, then sex supposedly impossible. But actually "bloodshed" allowed if both parties accept it, so reproduction process is still allowed. more or less, that's how i remembered it. |
| ...Still boring, obviously this is all part of a grander scheme of Sora. Not even King Crimson (Hello, token Jojo reference this episode), Conan or YGO made me laugh. Oh well, 2/3rds done with it. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| cant wait for tomowrrow and the answers for so many questions |

As long as something is "consensual", meaning, that the party taking the infringement is fine with it, anything is possible (maybe even euthanasia). However, the point stands, if they did lose, they would be able to do what they want, and get the same treatment from others. (just shows how narrowminded even the strongest beings are in that world, not figuring out, that they could theoratically do as they pleased if they lost their piece). |
| I can't wait for next episode. NGNL just keeps getting better and better with each episode |
