Epic episode! Gotta love that there was more fighting this time. And the twins are sooo gonna get their ass handed to them when the time comes.

And I still love Yukarin's voice. Love that she's not just a side character but one of the two final villains.
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

By reading the plot before the show even started it was quite obvious to me it was never intended to be serious....

Even if they did wipe out everyone, i still like those twins =O

I never got the impression that the darkness was actually anything supernatural. More so just a visual representation of not seeing the baskets coming. It's just as ridiculous as anything else in this show, so I don't really have a problem with it.

Wow, when I saw what happened to Sen at the end, I just couldn't help but cringe...

Sato should kick their asses along with the help of the Wizard (hopefully) and have Heracles become his new guerre de nom!

I’m just trying to be okay. Some days it’s harder than others. I hide away the most real parts of myself from everyone else. The emotions that I try to escape from. The constant pain I feel. The nightmares that keep me awake at night.

It hurts sometimes... knowing that the world is continuing happily all around me while I continue to drown in alcohol and slowly die inside myself.

The finishing move the twins did was really over the top. It wasn't a fight, it was just an execution with a broken spine cord.

The episode was okay, we will have to see how the other characters will react towards the ice witch being destroyed with baskets.

Something amazing just happened... We actually have credible villains who pose a legitimite threat to our heroes! Yay, baskets!

Even though there's only 2 episodes left in this series and we just got finished with the terrible fanservice episodes, this episode redeems the show and manages to salvage whatever intrest I lost in the show last week. There are two main reasons for this.

Number 1: Satou gets released from the hospital in this episode and no references to episode 9 are made. What this means is that we can assume that episode 9 doesnt exist and should never be watched ever again.... well, maybe after the series is over. It can stand alone as simply something extra for the limted fanbase of ume, but the fact that they pretended it never happened gives me, and many other people, some peace of mind. The memory of the episode is fading away from my mind as we speak...

And reason number 2: The Kyo twins with some assitance from baskets. I don't think anyone saw this coming... Not only do they proceed to demolish Yarizuri and a few faceless extras, but no one was able to do anything about it! Remember, these are the guys who beat up the monarchs army and they couldn't even lay a finger on the Kyo sisters! Granted, thier motive isn't really crystal clear, but treat them like the Joker: Just doing if for the sake of doing it and creating an interesting conflict while doing it! (Btw, that finshing move with the baskets on Yarizui was the most epic thing I've seen in this show...Thats pretty much the Ben-to version of a fatality!)

The only thing that could possibly make the series even more interesting is if they throw Asebi and Ume into the next Ben-to fights with the Kyo twins... I would pay money to see those fights!

All-in-all, this episode is probally the most interesting one so far as well as the best one: Moving past the bad times and giving us the best fighting sequence yet.

yet.

Part of the motive is clear they get a trill out of this a bit like a radical sport for them the twins keep going on at it saying they just can´t quit the other part seems to relate to an event in past that got them(a pair of rich upper class girls) into contact with the ben-to figthing world keep in mind that even if they take the bento(and they do ) they are not "respecting" the basicall laws of ben-to figthing and in the eyes of the Ice witch they are a bunch of simple holigans a bit like the case of monarc making her defeat even harder to manage it will be interesting to see her reaction in the next episode .

all i can say is " oh my gahhhhhd" - amazing episode - one of the best fight scenes i've seen anywhere - it was so funny seeing asebi fall out the window - ice witch, as usual, was incredibly sexy - especially in the scene where she is drinking the water and satou thinks she is propositioning him - orthoros were an amazing new addition to the cast - love their fighting style, but hate them for using it on the witch!!!

I agree with the radical sport thing. I guess what I'm trying to say is, "even though its not a complicated motive, do you even care?".

And what do you mean they aren't respecting the rules of Ben-to fighting? People can use other grocery objects to fight so the baskets are legal and as far as I could tell, they didn't do anything "dirty" during the fight. If anything, they were impressive because they had to fight the ice witch, freak, and beauty by the lake all at once and they still manged to take down the Ice witch.

I guess you could argue that they aren't respectful of others unless they are strong in thier eyes, but they treat ben-to fighting like a sport which is pretty much how everyone treats it so there isn't really anything the Ice witch can be mad about other than the fact that they got a clear victory over her.

This Ep has some seriously good fights, Using of shopping baskets were awesome! I mean it can redirect impact directed to it, avoid damage to the person, and provide as "shadows" metaphorically shown in the action. Good shit. Good shit. When the Ice Which went down, I totally imagined those two baskets as jaws that bit her...
5/5 for this Ep

GOOD GAWD ALMIGHTY! really this quite OH NO really of ep.

indeed now twins are now biggest threat to beat really with shopping baskets of doom darkness are main weapons really double combo really beat up everyone it this ep alone really anyone or something to stop the twins?!

especially pulling a con-basket-to on ice witch make her spin around if real life her neck could snap & yet more humiliated putting a basket of her head after being beaten really basket on head it like twins calling card.

Finally caught up to this series. I was like stranded since episode 5 and could not catch up fast. Since Asebi’s intro it really got good. This episode was totally RAGING and depressing in regards towards Sen in the spoiler
blood and basket over the head reminded me of that Monarch arc part. However I did do the following,

Now that part was the best hit ever! Add to that You’s kick on one of the twins and it was perfect. The problem is that you can say the rage is kind of the in the air and only towards the act. There is no way I could have any for the twins after their cock-tease in the spoiler (NSFW)
oh dear. Breast shapes, asses and I wonder if details really will be put out in the BDs There is mass potential of it since episode 7 easily. Best fan service, seriously no way to hate the twins after this.

Did anyone notice the rich and amazing changes in the OP. They may have eluded some since it zoomed past fast but here is my list of what they were and I am pretty sure I did not miss any.
  • The beginning has the twins in the spoiler
    that was nice right from the start. Made a GIF of it.

  • Changed running in the hall with the Bento in the spoiler
    they made it different and added the twins naturally along with Shaga.

  • From the above they added also Asebi in the spoiler
    she looks so cute there and I almost see those panties.

  • The OP totally spoilered that all is going to get solved in the spoiler
    that totally denies the fact things will get bad. It shows all will get along.

  • The twins fight part in the spoiler
    show their faces and moves nicely despite being short, it’s a OP part.

  • Nice add of all going for the twins in the spoiler
    the chopstick movement adds a nice touch.

  • I have the impression that You in the spoiler
    is shown more serious. Maybe it’s me.

  • I am not sure but is the 2 start sequence with Sen in the spoiler
    new? One start looks like the Wizard but the other one I wonder about.

  • Another cute twins sequence in the spoiler
    that one is nice. The hold hands in a lovey-lovey way.

  • Interesting show of the twins with Sen in the spoiler
    more than anything it shows Sen crying and Kyo with the long hair crying a little or about to but the Kyo the other one has no emotional, which suggests which twin is more emotional but that was foreseeable earlier on.

  • Not sure but Ume’s part in the spoiler
    looks different. At least it appeared to me better than before.


  • The chopstick part 2 in the spoiler
    was great because it feature Shaga in a swimsuit and the twins along with some Hana.

  • The second sequence of the fight of the twins in the spoiler
    shows very nicely more of their moves better. I liked that short one a lot.

  • They gave away these cool parts with colours of the characters in the spoiler
    whom I adore twins one and Sen/Shaga one.

  • Finally the after image after the OP in the spoiler
    changed to include more people.
So as you can it is totally insane what stuff of extra they put due to the twins. Very happy with it. I hope revenge is carried out epically of the twins being beaten down.

BTW I made GIFs and Signature ideas in the BLOG:
http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=642515
I would have preferred a club but apparently there is none made yet of this anime. Sucks. Regardless so nice stuff of the twins ecchi service, stuff you can use for signatures and some stuff from the OP.


PS: Glad to be around the same episode all are. Comments look positive in general.

Haha! yeah. They never wanted anyone to take it seriously. It's show with fights in supermarkets did you really thing they where going for a serious tone?

Anyway quite a cool episode and i liked the big battle at the ending although am as little sad on how brutal the finishing move on the ice queen was. I always feel bad seeing pretty things get hurt. What the hell are you doing Sato!! When someone hurts your woman is when you truly pull out your fangs, how could you let them hurt her so bad. Shame on you!

I guess the ending will revolve around the rematch of the ice queen and Satou vs those twins.

For you and for others than complain about the black stuff. There is no black stuff. The black stuff you see is nothing more than a symbolism on how those baskets limit the view of their opponent along with their fast movement. It's a symbolism of the confusion it causes to the one facing them.

That doesn't prevent them from getting hated on before their inevitable defeat :p. Ex: Shounen protag team spouts self-righteous hypocritical nonsense>battle>victoryspeech>friendship.

Anyways, If the Kyo's do become a part of the group, then does that mean a second season will be made? It would seem pretty pointless to put them in the group this far in the series if there wasn't more...

For real? Nah! Cops and security would huff you and the gang in less than a spic span moment. They would not play around with violence like that.

Actually I was thinking suddenly twins have super powers or they made some contract with the devil to get their powers but who knows really.

I definitely am going with the theory of a metamorphic showing but that's about ti.

After last weeks shit, I'm happy about getting this very good episode :)

-Awesome fight scene with quality animation. Me Likes xD
-Even though I like her, I'm glad that The Ice Witch was defeated. Now she's not unbeatable anymore and that should make their next battle EPIC :)

And the best thing about this episode was.... NO UME!!!
