I know I can't wait for the end of these series when Haruto and crew wipes them out in satisfactory fashion. That's exactly what I just said! I'm with you! SERIOUSLY, NOBODY AGREES WITH ME ABOUT THIS?! REALLY?! I'M REALLY REALLY UBER PISSED RIGHT NOW! After every single episodes, why is nobody gives a shit about my thoughts all of this? I'm about to bitchslap myself in a face repeatedly right now, did you hear!? Because there are idiots here who think Shoko is at fault lol. |
| What an episode this was. Damn that massacre. Felt bad for Haruto. How can Haruto say he still loves her after what Shoko just did to him. |

From her point of view, the lies that those Magius made up might as well be the truth. I can understand her and truth be told, her reaction is absolutely reasonable. TQ No it wasn't reasonable at all. She sold out people who was protecting her for ARUS who killed up students right in front of her face with no remorse and she fell for a fake demand from them. Honestly, I hope Akira or someone sock her ass a few times. No it is completely reasonable. She found out Haruto has been lying to her this entire time. She thinks Haruto is behind those people dying from their runes being absorbed. She was in a DESPERATE situation and that was really her only way to save the people on board the ship. Not to mention with everything going on, she can't think straight and fell for the easy bait. She acted like how any other human would in her position. Get off your high horse. She never asked them if he was! She only asked if she knew about all that which he didn't deny. She jumped to conclusions too fast without asking more details. Most people would inquire about that more before they start needlessly doing reckless shit. Let's not forget about the fact that Haruto and the others were helping them escape and protecting them as they left. She probably would've died had it not been for Akira. |
| Shoko didn't betray Haruto. Haruto failed to remember the cave memory, which caused Shoko to think the current Haruto is monster that bodyjacked Haruto. Hence why she said the Haruto that she knew is dead. The 'prepared' footage is extremely effective. It basically made all the students think that the only reason they were protected by the Valverave pilots was because they were going to be 'eaten'. Everything was caused by the Valverave pilots in the first place. |

Again she was in a desperate situation. Not everyone can be as cool as L-elf in these hectic situations. Also he just came back alive after being shot in the heart. He forgot about the cave. So she thinks this isn't the Haruto she has known her entire life. |
| I'm really expecting Shoko to get slapped up a few times by Akira. |
Shimohi said: I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this episode was really poorly executed. All of their episodes are poor written and executed. But that is what makes it fun.

Well the lazy and convenient writing isn't Shoko's fault, but does their entire relaitonship hang on that one memory. Like I said, she didn't even give him the slightest chance to explain anything. Makes it seem like her feelings for him weren't all that strong. |

Not going to ask what the hell is a Phantom or ask what are they? Or maybe not follow suit with the mob and maybe thought about that demand more since she had no legs to stand on in that demand since they had the full force on them and there is literally no reason they need her alive. Just before Akira saved her the ARUS president dude told the soldier to kill all of them so I don't get why she went along with that shit from them. People under desperate situations aren't completely devoid of reasoning you know. |

People under desperate situations aren't completely devoid of reasoning you know. People can do stupid shit in tense situations. Watch this video-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybf6ykBbiTE. Any "calm" person would just close the box. But she panicked and made the situation worse by throwing the box in the air. You can't think logically in these situations. Also Akira saving them has nothing to do with this. She probably thinks Haruto is the cause of this, hence why she only gave him up. |
| I can understand that one girl acting on impulse seeing her dad die in front of her face and not really having too much of a close relationship with the pilots but man Shoko was on some other tier level of stupid. Sad because she was one of my favorite characters too. |
whitehairgirls said: But you didn't just say that it's idiotic to deem her response unreasonable, you said everyone that thinks she's at fault is an idiot. That's what makes you seem like the douche here. There have been plenty of reasons given that argue she was at fault.

I can understand why people might hate/dislike her for doing such a thing, but saying it is UNREASONABLE is just completely idiotic. It isn't that she didn't have the time, it's that she didn't have the mental fortitude to control her emotions or trust in her soldiers. These are things a leader needs. It makes you think she's been sitting around twiddling her thumbs this whole time instead of trying to grow into the leader she stepped up to be. And again, you can't tell me she had NO TIME whatsoever to interrogate Haruto further. With how she's supposed to feel about him, you'd think she'd fight for it a little more hoping that it wasn't true, or, and I know this is crazy but, putting a little bit of trust in her closest friend that she supposedly loves. ex_necross said: Probably the greatest use of the edit function I've ever seen.The other dude was implying that the company published something that they thought was going to be a trainwreck.

She's one of them, hell after they shuttled off Haruto she asked all of them, including Akira to surrender. She was giving them all up. But even as an aside from this, did anyone, aside from the president who's in cahoots with the Magius, think after seeing that Saki video and after shooting the first kid who did not get up afterwards that hmmmmm all these kids might not be immortal? That's stupidity on a whole 'nother level. They systematically slaughtered a bunch of children without so much as a question. |

Okay I shouldn't have called everyone an idiot for thinking she was at fault. I was just venting at people who didn't see it through her perspective. Yeah it is crazy. The lover that has been lying to your face the entire time, one who just magically revived from a gunshot to the heart, and forgot an important childhood memory. I don't know how much trust you put on your friends/lovers, but I know I would have probably reacted like her. |
ex_necross said: Nevermind, it was you who said it. You should feel bad for your idiocy. You are kidding yourself if you think that Sunrise didn't know their plot was a train wreck. They made it obvious with certain episodes from the first season. Not all train wrecks aren't bad. |

Yeah, lets sell him out. That's fucked up. People usually don't go selling out loved ones in the matter of a half an hour without getting their facts straight. |
| Just watched the episode. I need some emotional support now. XD The mass killing scene was especially difficult to watch. HarutoxShouko is pretty much impossible now. At least Saki still wants his D, amirite? Haruto's screaming at the end gave me goosebumps. R.I.P Inuzuka. |

The lover that got most of New Jior killed because he was too much of a pussy to actually tell the LEADER what was going on? None of this would have happened if he told her from the start. But no he declared himself a monster and just wanted to protect her by lying to her. |
| This is a cost of a lie. Countless body used to pay it. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |

The outcome wouldn't of changed had she knew or not, since everyone died because of the Magius' schemes although maybe she wouldn't of shuttled him and L-Elf out though. The rest couldn't ever know because they would've reacted just the same. Do you remember how that other girl reacted and treated Haruto when she found out he healed his face? The other regular students would've been that much worse. |

Makes it seem like her feelings for him weren't all that strong. She gave him PLENTY of time to explain himself. During the conference, the one thing he ends up saying is that he knew about the phantom ship, which basically accidentally makes everyone thing the Dorssia footage is true. Shoko still stood by him, and rallied everyone to escape and pilots to fight. Even when her entire ship turned against her she was still on Haruto's side. Even after Haruto came back from life Shoko, while shocked, wanted him to explain , yet he basically offered no explanations except some words that only serve to reaffirm the fake accusations of the footage. It's only when he can't remember that memory does Shoko really believe that he's a monster, because he has given her anything to work with, as the footage is just too convincing. It even explains why the Valvrave pilots might be protecting the JIOR students (as food sources). |
| The ending was pretty epic but what a spetacular trainwreck. |
| Holy shit this episode was really intense, especially for Valvrave. bastek66 said: Who put Iori's father, scientists and Arus' reporter girl into Runes sucking machines? |
| Ever since the start of the series, my thoughts of it has always been teetering between thinking it's pure genius to thinking it's some grandiose parody that was going way over its head. So I think I finally had the epiphany after this episode. The writing is pure genius, or rather, I should say the manipulation of the plot and character development for these sort of situations, is pure genius. Taking everything into perspective, I don't blame Shouko for what she did; actually, I was very happy with it and I like her even more for her reaction. Otherwise, Haruto's first response to the Phantoms being "Why is it here?", despite being a completely natural and expected response, was the absolute worst thing to say, which didn't help the situation any, but I still think that a massacre was already predestined and Haruto actually telling the truth would not have changed anything. It's amazing how having the wrong reaction or Haruto just happening to forget the cave incident with Shouko changed so many of the outcomes; I guess now I have an inkling of what kind of storm is going on in L-Elf's head when he's mapping out strategic outcomes. But, the aforementioned can be said for the full run of this series. If I had to make a wild prediction at this point, I'll take a shot in the dark and say that Haruto will die, and at some point Shouko will become a pilot/holy spirit in his stead. |
| this episode was fucked.. everyone losing their shit,you would think after a couple of dozen people killed the ARUSians would notice *hey they aren't coming back to life?..* then again rational thinking was non-existence in this episode for many reasons. honestly though this episode just fuels my rage for seeing Dorssia get destroyed |
 |
| Oh boy... I've seen some mecha and stuff but this is getting rather crazy. |
| Dorssia really turned the tables. A Genocide and now Haruto's memories are vanishing :( Fuck you Shoko, but I understand her position. So they can die... poor Inuzuka :( |
