Lots of great things happened in this episode, incest was not one of them, not a fan.

But Nana is back, and Kohta got to meet Lucy, awesome.

Well I'm glad Nana is alive. I love Nyuu, and I'm a bit scared about Lucy but it's clear she has an emotion background. But Yuka annoys me so much so far.

Kurama is supposed to be cold, but i guess not... He saved Nana, who got a really bad lucky. Barelly can walk and already faceoff Bando.

So Lucy can kill tens of people without remorse but when it comes to Kouta, she can't?

People need to get over the whole incest thing. It's not a big deal.

Yeah but Kouta is different since she remembers him from the past. I've never read the Elfen Lied manga but I'm pretty sure I figured out this entire show's plot, or at least the main plot twist, from the first three episodes, anyone else? Even so I am really enjoying this show, I know it has some flaws to it (Yuka being a big one) but I really like it.

Well so many good and unexpected thing happened in this one episode.
The relationship between Kouta and Yuka is on a different now. And people should stop complaining about the whole incest thing. You don't like then don't watch!

And the part when Lucy suddenly turned back to Nyu was surprising. It seems that she is somehow related Kouta's past and judging from this episode, she killed someone related to him. That was hilarious.

I was shocked to see Nana alive. Guess the so called evil man with glasses isn't evil at all. The part when Bando gave Mayu the phone number just in case she will be in pinch. Then the favor was used against him instead.

The next episode looks promising.

This episode was crazy. Although I did see the Kouta/Yuka relationship coming (seeing as they made it pretty obvious) so it wasn't too much of a shock.

I'm glad Nana is alive, although at this point I'm starting to feel bad for Bando. I think being ripped apart by a crazy alien once is enough but hey.

I seem to be in the minority in not disliking Yuka. She can't help how she feels! And I'm fascinated by this awkward and taboo (although I guess it's cousins...in Japan...so it's not that taboo) relationship between Yuka and Kouta. I feel like Yuka could snap and go psycho-clingy at any moment. Interesting developments with Lucy, I love how there's this mysterious back story that is hinted at and slowly revealed, underneath an equally intriguing main plot. This show is very well-paced so far I think. Good episode!

Watching this dubbed this time around and so far I fucking hate it, but every time I tell myself I'm gonna switch to sub and re-adjust, Bando shows back up and I've gotta go back to the dub. Like, Bando's voice might be the only one which is way cooler and has far better dialogue. Japanese Bando does not remotely convince me that he's a badass and his subbed dialogue sucks. English Bando, on the other hand, seems quite the badass. And a jackass. But the kind of jackass you like.

Yay, Nana's back! I'm so happy for that. Though I'm little scared what Bando has in mind. I'm pretty sure he's trying to use her to find Lucy.

Kohta and Yuka kissed... Well, I was surprised Kohta was okay with that since earlier he didn't seem to be so into Yuka. But maybe I understood something wrong. The whole cousin thing doesn't bother me actually at all and I it's funny to see how almost everybody is grossed out.

And then Lucy... I think she killed some relative of Kohta and now feels bad for Kohta. Which is little weird cause she has no problem killing innocent people. I'm interested to see what will happen next. But I really hope that there will not be any love triangle wit Yuka, Kohta and Lucy.

Relations among first cousins actually aren't that rare in Japan. Traditionally, cousin marriage has been very common in societies that valued family lines, purity of blood, as well as isolated societies. That is why it was very common in groups as diverse as the European monarchy, the European Jewish community, and rural Appalachia in the US. It is also the reason all of these groups have so many recessive genetic disorders and the reason it completely fell out of favor in the last 50 years as we learned more about medicine. Did you know Albert Einstein married his first cousin!? So did Abraham Maslow, who had an IQ around 200! In addition, Maslow's own parents were first cousins!

So basically whenever Lucy feels secure, she turns into Nyu, and when Nyu feels endangered, she has to become Lucy, but the effects of one another do not wear off until an emotion strong enough is sparked to cause change.

It was so cute to see Lucy crying and then switching her personalities like that. I'm starting to think at the end of the show Nyu will kill herself in order to save the other protagonists from what her genes tell her to do.

Funny af.

I think Lucy/Nyuu and Kohta know each other, obviously from the flashbacks the two of them keep having and it was sort of spoiled for me because


I'm also glad Nana survived. Not really interested in the incest; it's not relevant but the series needs comic relief.

Nana's back, yay! :D

So it turns out that Kohta likes Yuka and their feelings are mutual. But they're cousins so...that's kinda...ew

Lucy's memories though...and they relate to Kohta...and they are from 8 years ago...when Kohta's sister died...does this mean that Lucy has something to do with Kohta's sister's death??? What if Lucy killed her? What if that's the reason why she was quarantined and labeled as a murderer?

Of course, when that one girl got knocked out, there had to be a panty shot. As we can see, this show is very classy.

The incest didn't bother me, tbh. In Japan, romance between cousins is legal. I still don't approve of it, but different cultures and all that. At any rate, it's one of the least bothersome things in this show.

I just wish they would stop using retarded harem humor and started using good writing instead.

I'm calling it now. The guy with the glasses ("Papa" as Nana calls him, don't know his name) is Kouta's father. Think about it: he had a daughter, and a wife, both of which died. Kouta had a sister that died (and I think his mother died in the same accident, right?)
And to add to that, he shares the same hair color as Kouta.
The only problem with this theory is that he told the lady that he killed his daughter and his wife committed suicide. That hurts the theory because it was strongly implied near the end of the episode that Lucy killed Kouta's sister and mother (because she was saying that she doesn't deserve to be with him due to what she did to him in the past, and it showed flashbacks of a bloody Kouta briefly and he seemed to be remembering something).
I still think Glasses-kun is Kouta's father, and that he was lying, though. Who knows, guess we'll find out.

And oh shit, he faked Nana's death. So she's alive! Must've been put to sleep or something.
Since he lied about killing Nana, it's very possible he lied about killing his own daughter, too. Maybe he cares about Lucy in some strange way and wants to protect her? But then in the first episode, why would he try to kill her... Well, I guess it makes sense considering what she did in the first episode... But-- Damn, this is complicated lol

I'll be very real here: I don't see the problem with incest, as long as they don't have a baby. Seriously, other than mutilated babies, what else can happen? All it is, is another social taboo, just like homosexuality was not too long ago.
I'm not saying that inbred mutated babies are a good thing, I'm just trying to be logical here.
Either way, I wouldn't want to date my cousin or sister or whatever, but I don't see the big deal as long as they use condoms basically >.>
...What the hell am I saying? XD

And to those who hate Yuka: I don't particularly care for her, but why hate her due to her jealousy? She does go a bit overboard, but she isn't too bad. I bet there are those of you who hate her yet go and watch Mirai Nikki and fap to Yuno because she's so 'awesome' even though she is the literal definition of jealousy.

Jesus guys, if you're gonna go out calling Yuka and Kaito's relationship gross in a show from JAPAN, learn the culture first. I see no problem with their relationship. It's not like 'murica, where incest is taboo. Hell, I remember when I was a kid, I had a child crush on my first cousin. I grew out of it though. It's all a matter of where you're from, and what the culture is that's considered taboo or not.

The incest thing kind of ruins it for me. I don't care which country/culture is it, it's still wrong, plus I don't particularly like either of those two characters.

The rest of the story is pretty decent. I like Mayu; I feel really sorry for that poor girl.

I don't know much about genetics but as long as cousin-cousin marriage doesn't produce a deformed child, it isn't too bad. Was expecting Kouta to go for Lucy/Nyu though. Should've been canon. It would be interesting to see love between a split personality psychotic murderer and a naive college student. I did not expect Nana to come back... her death was very well done and it sorta spoils all that was worth.
