I don't know whether they said it last episode and I missed it or they just said it now but "I want to mate with you". That was seriously creepy. Guy needs to work on his game, trapping a girl into endless torture just to get laid. Poor Akari. I wish something would've come out of Seira vs. Luna but I guess not. Seira with that hail of arrows was amazing. Ginka came back -sigh- I would be happy if it wasn't so predictable. Now she knows everything? What does that even mean, I really hope they explain everything in more depth next episode. I wonder what that key does. "You're about to be a mother" ._.

That grossed me out when he said that, like seriously wtf. Also, Akari looked quite horrific in that first rerun of the endless dream. Poor Akari having to live through that traumatizing experience so many times and being unable to change the outcome. And Ginka coming back all OP was pretty cool I guess, except I really want to know what happened after she "went to the other side" and now knows everything...

Woah...Cerebrum's goal took me by surprise. I thought he'd be her father but he wants to mate with her O_o
And Akari's first rerun was damn creepy. Her face was O_O

Gotta admit though. He's an awesome villain. He used the most effective way to screw Akari up and break her down mentally XD

Luna and Seira have had nice character development this ep so that was a plus :D

And Ginka??? I really thought she's dead. I guess when u kill ur card u won't die and just get sent to another dimension?

Huh, Cerebrum wants to mate with Akari to change something in her past, well that didn't end well since she tried to save Fuyuna countless times.

What the heck, Ginka is alive... I thought she was dead. I wonder what she meant "going to the other side" curious on what she see. Well kind of felt happy that everyone is here saving Akari in the process.

- Akari accepts bargain and saves her friends.
- Luna really does have a "weapon" all of this time. (Though I can see why she hid her other Elemental talent duration of the anime.)
- Oh my god the torture of the "endless loop". At least Fuunya spoke at last.. :S
- And dare I say that Cerebrum wants to bread Akari? I don't know what's the purpose except to create more future Sun users (i.e. spreading this Half-Elemental, Half-Daemonia curse for a lifetime)
- Oh gosh the sleepless Akari. That kind of hurt, ya'know? Sleep is important!
- Ginka returns from the "reverse world"... I can imagine comical stuff from her... Like really.
- LIKE I KNEW GINKA WASN'T REALLY DEAD IF SHE ACTS LIKE THIS!!!! THE WONDERS!!!!
- Hopefully for a bittersweet good magical girl ending. :I

I mean- Guys to those who like Ginka, she just "disappeared". Sure dropping the bottle was a trick from the writers, but really.... IT'S GINKA! She warps herself to another dimension thanks to the attack! Though Ginka SERIOUSLY need to explain that stab on the final battle... (Maybe she and her counterpart did fuse?!)

P.S. I ignore tentacle rape. I mean... I am to focused on Akari's tireless face and "suffering" from Fuunya's Daemonia...

Actually I found this twist to be surprisingly more interesting than the standard conquer the world route. I mean thinking about it, since she's part Daemonia and Tarot user, wouldn't a child with her create an even stronger being, especially coming from someone as powerful as Cerebrum?

I might be jumping the gun on this theory, but it seems to me that Daemonia mate through negative energy such as regret, despair, etc. So in this special place of Cerebrum's, Akari is being "groomed" with her most traumatic experience - the death and turning of Fuyuna. He also made a good point, since Akari is part Daemonia, it can be argued that part of her leaked out to Fuyuna. So Cerebrum is essentially planning to impregnate her via the ultimate depths of despair.

As for the rest of the episode, the fights were pretty cool, especially Seira's big attack with all of those arrows from the sky and Ginko's huge axe. The last few episodes were a bit lackluster but I really enjoyed this one. Hoping for a solid finale.

Yeah, this solution is completely unheard of but how about, you know, talk with the poor girl instead of pretending you pray to this goddamn grave, hm, Akari?

As for Ginka I expected her sacrifice to be completely meaningless but in that negative way, not "AHAHAHAHA, I'm back and kicking, biatches!". Not that I'm not happy with the outcome, Ginka is the best pony. And props to Luna for growing a pair.

Break The Cutie: The animation. We're getting back into that uncomfortable lolicon thing we saw in the first episode. Other than that it was actually a really good episode.

I'm honestly surprised Cerebrum kept his word and changed Luna back to normal... OR DID HE?

Some high quality nightmare fuel there, Akari's face when she bursts into flames the first time she has to relive that incident.

I really liked Luna characterization this episode. She regrets her weakness and ends up moving past it, becoming stronger as a result. And Seira has blossomed quite well herself, calling attention to how she used to be and saying she will accept Luna and all of her weaknesses.

Ginka... I like you but come on. "TAKOYAKI" is not a good battle cry, or the first thing you should be saying upon returning to us.

I'm not really surprised that Ginka came back, I mean from what her inverted self was saying, she wanted to merge with Ginka.

Now she suddenly comes back with a glorious golden aura and power unlike anything she's ever shown us before? It makes... some sense.

Final episode is titled "The Sun's Smile", if that's any comfort. I'm 99% sure we're in for a (mostly) happy ending.

Etia, the blue haired one, is so gentle and kind I just melt whenever she gets any screentime. I'm pretty certain I've never seen her smile, she's so guilt-ridden over what the girls are going through at the whim of Leguzario. I hope she gets some relief and a genuine joyful smile by the time the credits roll.

But yeah, both her and Ariel got express permission to unleash their powers and go nuclear straight from Leguzario (though she has misgivings about it because Ariel and Etia have come to the conclusion that they've been nothing but tools to be left in the dark about what's really going on all the time).

While I think Cereberum was telling the truth about Akari going about it wrong, he completely lied about how Akari awas going about it wrong.

It's not about finding out 'why' she did it. And, honestly, that bull reason he gave made no sense, but Akari's too screwed up right now to make sense of things. The real reason is the same reason that we already heard before: She's too bright. Most can't survive the amount of shine she gives off. Basically, she was too optimistic and always looking forward. Which was a problem for Fuyuna who probably thought about the present and the past and worried about many things.

Anyway, for Akari to get out she needs to accept what happened. She wouldn't have met everyone if it didn't happen, and she never would have had the chance to change and help others.

Finally though, there's hope in this show.

5:30am and the speculation brick hit me upside the head.

I was discussing the latest episode with a friend o mine and the question came up about why Cerebrum needed to make Akari relive Fuyuna's death over and over again. Maybe he's just trying to mentally break her until consent is no longer an issue, but I wonder if there's something more to it.

One of the things that struck me as odd throughout the series is that in episode 2, Etia explains that they had Akari's memories of Fuyuna erased because the trauma would have turned her into a Daemonia.

Now, it seems like Etia and co didn't know about Cerebrum after first, so it struck me as odd about how she could become a Daemonia without one of Cerebrum's contracts and diabolos tarot cards.

Then the revelation that she's half-Daemonia came up and suddenly the whole world makes sense. If trauma like that can turn Akari into a Daemonia, perhaps by awakening the Daemonia blood inside her, that might be what he's trying to do. Maybe he needs that to happen before he can mate with her. Ripening the fruit so to speak.

I'm still wondering what that red stuff that pours on her when she's in that thing (as seen in the OP is). It seems like some kind of hourglass.

Maybe I'm just reading too much into this.

Cerebrum: Because I want to mate with you.

Me: WTF? Cerebrum is a F*ing pedo! Akari you inexperienced!
Bro: ....... Dude don't do that.... Especially in a little kids body......
Sis: I ant to laugh but don't want to.....

Cerebum: Soon you'll beccome a mother.

ME: ........ Dude....... pedo....... and I thought I liked him!
Bro: *epic Facepalm*
Sis: Pedophile detected.

So that was it for us.

If this show goes the way I think it'll go then..... there's no point in saving Akari.

Why does everyone keep saying he's her father, when there wasn't any mention of that in the previous episode? Heck, all that was said is that her father disappeared and that he was infected with a Daemoinia, and that Cerebrum is a Daemonia who has free will. Apparently, people pieced all this together to think he's her father. Not that it's not possible, but unless they really come forward with that in the next episode, I remain skeptic.

I don't know how she's powered up that much, I guess she was training with Kaio in the realm of the gods, or maybe she's finding some super mushroom in interdimensional space. Whatever it is, it saves her precious two friend.
