jimjameswhatever said: I think the good thing is, regardless of whether or not you like these cliches, is that there is meaning to these things Shibasaki is making connections with. I've said it before already, but the connection between people that puzzles and dragons provides is very clever in it's relation to all the isolation that the characters deal with. This episode, the key to solving the riddle was "knowing yourself." Once again, when it comes to "connections" most people would probably think that the ability to understand others is most important. However, knowing yourself, and how you fit into the larger picture of society is important as well. You may be right, and you may be wrong. Interesting view nonetheless. If true, they should have been more creative in delivering those themes. To be honest I didn't see anything profound in that Puzzles & Dragons scene lol. |
| really enjoyed this episode. The bike scene with Lisa and Twelve was GLORIOUS. Had to rewatch it a few times. |
BRK25 said: Not really, they all said to go look for the bomb. That's all. No one ignored or straight up not listened to Shibazaki other than Himura. However, it is a bit annoying that Shibazaki hasn't warned the chief unless all energy went straight to solving the riddles. The boss wasn't around except for one scene when the detective and him were smoking and chatting. He also was shown with the surveillance photo, nothing else. This should be a lesson and show they should pay far more attention to the adequate detective. I'm waiting to see what Five will do and what her character archetype is. They didn't believe that website had any significance even though Shibasaki said it did. I thought that was 'ignorant'. You're right, not warning the chief/boss is kind of annoying and careless considering it could cost them another building. Hmmm. I'm also looking forward to see Five! WHY IS SHE TAKING SO LONG IT'S ONLY 11 EPISODES. Edit: about the boss not listening. Aren't they supposed to report everything to him and shouldn't he suggest listening to Shibasaki? |

| Another good episode but this episode, unlike the other episodes, the riddle was not the best for me. The best part was the emo encounter between Lisa and Twelve. That ost when Lisa was crying pulled my heartstrings. I absolutely love Twelve. He has a soft spot for her. He understands her pain. It was a great development in his relationship with her. |

It wasn't amazing, sure, but it was thematically fitting. Not to mention very current. That game is pretty damn popular right now lol |
| Pretty solid episode. 4/5 |
| very nice episode |
| 5/5, fantastic, incredible, amazing. I tear up at least twice every episode (opening&ending) but often more! :S For some reason I want to see Twelve smoke..... |
| They leaked all the information on their terrorist attack to show just futile the Japanese government is against them. Lisa finally being free and happy ;__;.  Felt very impactful for me (even more so after she collapsed). The animation during that motorcycle scene was mesmerizing and so was the song that played during that scene.[spoiler] |

| excellent episode, lisa's happiness at the end was priceless :) getting more interesting every episode the soundtrack was pretty good (btw, anyone knows the name of the song at the end?) |
 |
| Amazing soundtrack/insert song near the end. The conferences are always interesting especially when they use relevant, contemporary terms like Bitcoin (Kittcoin). So instead of a real bomb going off, they leaked classified information onto social media. Still not sure what Lisa's role in this show is :/. |
| The Twelve x Lisa ship has sailed... now let's wait to see where their messed up relationship is heading. |
 |
| FUCKING BRILLIANT EPISODE. The riddle, the "bomb", the rules to the game, Risa and Nine together. damn damn damn this show has skyrocketed to the top of my favorite shows of the season... and this season has been fucking superb! |
 |
| everything about this show just gives me a gigantic boner im in love |
| Not a big fan of Lisa still.. But Sphinx. God damn. I think the riddle was alot simpler this time. The general police force should really listen to the one dude.. He is the only one who was able to solve the riddles, so you'd think they'd start listening to him by now. Also I've noticed some people saying "oh there goes another building!" but that's not what this "bomb" was. The bomb the police found was a set up. The real bomb was the information leakage, and the only reason it got leaked after the riddle was solved was because the police "cheated" by going to the apartment Sphinx led them to. |
  |
| Another great episode. Did the next bomb go off |
 |
| Fantastic episode. Honestly, at the start I was thinking "can we get something different this episode?" then boom, there it was. The second half of this episode was great and made me think differently of Lisa. I felt like I could understand how she felt, and when she started laughing on the bike I had a feeling of relief. The riddles so far are clever and so are Sphinx and the detective. Can't wait for next week. |
| Twelve showing his face to police just to rescue Lisa... Thats gonna be a problem later... And the official investigation reports being leaked on the internet o man. Terrorists: 3, Cops: 1 |
~my list
| Can we really just take a moment to really just admire the thought that went into the motorcycle scene? I literally watched that portion like 10 times. It SO helps that the animation was beautiful as well. I am really liking the cognitive nature of the show; by not killing people with their bombs it's obvious that there is an underlying message that Von is trying to get across to society and i just can't figure out what it is... This show is really working its way up to be one of my favorites! |
 |
| is lisa sick? does lisa have cancer? lol is she running out of time too? |
| crazy episode that "bomb" dam so GOOD this is one of those shows that gets better and better every episode |
 |
| I was not really impressed with this episode. Doesn't mean I think it's bad, it was just... there. Anyway, when they mentioned the bomb in the previous episode was ANFO, this is what they meant. They need to dump the gimmick of the fat coworker who just happens to say "the right thing at the right time" to instantly solve the riddle. That's twice now it's been used. I liked the motorbike scene, but the song was pretty forgettable. It sounded like some pop song you'd hear on the Billboard Top 40. I had flashbacks to Snow Patrol when they were all the rage 6 years ago. You do not want me to think about Snow Patrol. Can anyone explain how he was hacking into the police website? It looked like a brute force attempt to me, but obviously that wasn't the case... |
| I really liked that they did something different this episode. I wasn't expecting them to leak out all the information... Also, I can't be the only one shipping Lisa and Twelve, right? I'm really loving those two, but I know I can't get too attached because I have a feeling something's going happen to Twelve later on. |
| Right when I was thinking this was getting repetitive. |

Because that’s where you’ll find the things more important than what you want.” ~ Ging (HxH) |
| That was a great twist with the bomb being an information bomb! Although I feel like things are going to end bad for Lisa or 9 and 12 or all 3 perhaps.... |
 |
| This is getting interesting :D Looking forward to the next episode! |
| SAO that's how you do a bike scene i'm sorry i just couldn't get that scene from last week out of my head while watching it here lol still wonderful episode my heart tighten up when it didn't stop thought all of them were gonna die,so far not a single death has happen wonder what their reason for that is. |
 |
| "you should have sacrificed your queen"- i think this is foreshadowing that lisa's presence is going to start causing problems or that not everything is going to go according to nine and twelve's plans |
| Every IT expert died a little during this episode. |
yeslelno123 said: Every IT expert died a little during this episode. I mean yeah, okay, they bruteforced a 404 shell but why in the name of fuck was that there under the name of hack.php LOL? "We won't be able to break in easily" "But that means someone did" http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/gallery/no/ummm-no.gif |
| I'm going to be frustrated for the rest of the season that the next episode of this isn't out yet... |
| Another great episode cannot wait for the next one~!! "You should have sacrificed your queen~" damn :S wonder how Lisa's presence plays out Jburzy2 said: I've noticed a few things that irk me also in this show. 1) The entire police department reacts like crazy whenever they get the smallest bit of information. "Send police to all the shrines in the city!" 2) That generic second-in-command police officer who dislikes Shibazaki and blames him for playing their game even though he is literally the only one who has done anything good in this case. 3) Like you mentioned, the fat guy just so happens to say the right thing at the last possible moment that saves the day. It feels like a lot of these things are tropes from generic CSI shows. It makes the show feel melodramatic to an extent. hmm yeah those annoy me too |
| I was hoping for an explosion but the leaks of the terrorist info was good enough for me xD 12's infatuation with Lisa is kinda cute, but I can't help but to feel that she will definitely be their downfall now....The foreshadowing that took place in that chess game between 9 and 12 was too strong >.< |
BRK25 said: Care to explain? So I can understand? Essentially they went under the assumption that the police has already been hacked because their site is very secure (that they must have tightened their security because there was a break in in the past). This doesn't work like that in real life, this does NOT imply that it's been hacked before. Anyway, they find the backdoor that has been left by the hacker who hacked it in the past. It's a 404 php shell (essentially when you open the page it shows a 404 page not found message but if a certain variable is provided with a correct value via GET method (in this example) it will present you with a shell that the attacker left. They find the 404 shell by getting a "200 OK" response from the server which essentially means that the request succeeded and a file there exists and that the message appearing in the browser is false. However, the request revealing the file should also return 200 OK message for file existing regardless of the GET request sent to it matching the password needed, that's a mistake. What bothers me most is the fact that they found a shell on a site under the assumption that it's been hacked before because it's secure. Fuck that. |

I like the show and am interested to see how it turns out, but simple things like these will prevent it from being as memorable as Stand Alone Complex and other dramatic shows. I have to sadly agree with this, I like the anime but twice in a row now smh, just hope they won't be relying on it every time! Aside from that good episode as always. |
