| wow hei is just kicking ass all over, but i wonder what happened to yin? and what are those devices that are trapping him? and what is this? his star disappeared?! thats not good and suou keeps getting mistaken for her brother, thats why shes in so much trouble |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| You do know Hei has never been a real contractor, right? He never lost his human emotions. |
 |
| Yeah Hei is not a contractor, that's why I'm wondering what is going on with that disappearing star... Maybe it was Yin or smth ? I don't know, I need to re-watch 1st season... But nooo,no,no and no again !!!! Yin must be alive. DTB without Yin is not a DTB TT.TT It would be too stupid... they can't kill her ! |
| So many new faces. Hei is a badass although I'm going to miss Li Shun Seung. |
jolec said: Yeah Hei is not a contractor, that's why I'm wondering what is going on with that disappearing star... Maybe it was Yin or smth ? I don't know, I need to re-watch 1st season... Well, he had the powers of a contractor. And his Messier Code was BK-201. Kirihara stated the star was BK-201. He's probably lost his powers or something similar now. It's all assumptions and theories right now, so we'll just have to wait and see, I guess. |
  |
| I notice alot of people mentioning Hei's hair.. I think it's pretty fine like that, although I think he should shave instead, it does not suit him to have some hair on his chin xD Besides, his slightly longer hair makes him look even more ruthless, which in his case adds to his cool-factor x) |

| On wikipedia its says that the show has 16 episode :| |
I`M A MURDERER |
| Wow, all the old characters seem to have dissapeared, aobviously something has happened with Hei, hope that gets explained soon, as there is a lot of confusion surrounding the anime already. I guess the only significance of the little girl is the meteor fragment, but why does Hei want it??? I liked the episode, it was surreal, the action was brilliant, especially the second fight, I love Bones and their animation, great studio. |
| Amazing episode! The fights were brilliantly constructed. I just wish Hei wasn't so good at killing people so the fights can be a little longer XD Couple of questions and expressions 1. Everyone is looking for Shion, right? and they think Suou is Shion, right? Why does eveyone greet "Shion" by saying honey? 2. Sexy lesbian character! yay! 3. Hei also thought Suou was Shion, right? Why did he ask "Shion" to blow him? And when he felt a boob, he immediately jumped away. Is Hei.... 4. I think they might be experimenting on Tanya. She could come out later as a transforming contractor with mini guns on her shoulder o_0 5. So it seems that there has been a transfer of power between Hei and Suou. Loli girl who has super powers and knows how to use a gun? WTH bones! horny teenage boys are not your only audience! 6. Misaki! yay! 7. did they say something about using April's brain for something? Like ghost in the shell? We can haz robo april nao? that is all. Next friday is too far away! |
| As mentioned by some Hei isn't a real contractor. His powers come by using his sister's contract & he doesn't pay a price because: 1) It isn't HIS contract. OR 2) Pai has lost her material body (Like Mao) & thus her contract doesn't require a renumeration anymore. Hei's contractor like attitude is a result of his working as the "Black Reaper". So, his feelins are the same regardless of whether or not he has his contract. PLEASE TELL ME YIN IS NOT DEAD!!! I hope she's just be succked into some space created by a meteor core & Hei should be able to get her back using his power on a meteor core. Afterall he DOES have the power to create regions like dead zones if certain requirements are met. Also the "Star" DISSAPEARED, it did not FALL, meaning Hei's powers are gone for the time being, he DEFINITELY isn't dead. (They show him in the next episode). Hopefully, if the story ever requires for Suou to choose b/w her brother & Hei, she should side with Hei. Seems like Hei was telling the truth about the professor already being dead when he arrived. (July says that Hei was the only one in the room - This happened before Suou heard the voices). Also this might mean that Shion has the power to affect people's brains (Cause delusions, communicate telepathically, steal information & even kill without any physical damage). The Woman in black probably has the ability to alter molecular density of wood (Making it harder/sharper & phasing through trees). |
| ill be angry if yin is gone for good. it makes me sad. well kinda cool that Hei's star disappeared; it didnt fall from the sky. the fights are awsome too, but man contractors are dying like flies in this season! great fun, im very excited for how this will all unfold. Edit: ooh looks like Evilincarnate beat me to the "star disappeared, didnt fall" thing first |
| Awesome episode. :D I hope this series will be as cool as I expect. I really like all the new characters. Suou is so cute <3 & for now August 7 is the best of the new contractors, in my opinion. I think this season will be really different from the previous one D:' & I agree, I preferred it when it was Hei-centric. I personally like the OP song & the ED too, they're cool. :D |
| Mind-blowing episode. Might surpass the first season easily if it continues like this. |

They just kept adding honey, the characters didn't say that. 3. Hei did not ask for that... he asked for the meteor fragment. 7. Ahhhh, I had to listen to it several times because the subs were pretty bad. I believe they use the ME Squeezer to harvest memories (this is my assumption). Basically the guy says to put the bodies in the ME squeezer while they're still fresh (referring to the dead contractor) and then says of course his brain too because it's a great asset - I'm guessing he's referring to the professor here, because while he's not a contractor he could hold valuable information. I'm assuming they're harvesting their memories because when they used the term ME before it was always to do with memory erasing, so maybe the ME squeezer, 'squeezes' memories out of dead people's head. Although this would probably be impossible if the head was damaged. Oh and while we're on the subbing the magician did _not_ say I'm putting on my robe and wizard hat. They're even using internet memes now... Liked the episode btw. =) The opening as well, it seems to fit the travelling theme. Oosran said: Racu said: On wikipedia its says that the show has 16 episode :| I lol'd No but really, wikipedia is usually not a source to be trusted unless there are reliable references for the information given I think 16 is correct. 12 episodes that we're going to see and the 4 OVAs that are supposedly only appearing on the DVD/blueray when it comes out. The OVA is supposed to link season 1 + 2 together, probably where you get to see what really happens to Yin. While the two are kind of seperate they're both under the Ryuusei no Gemini part so I guess they added them together to make 16. |

| Great episode. At first, I was a little hesitant on this completely new angle and story they seemed to introduce, but the plot is definitely thickening nicely. Seems like Yin died (*tear*) but can't wait to see what happens to Hei with this attack and if he and Suou end up getting along and work towards a common goal. |
| I might be mistaken here but didn't Hei get his powers from his sister or something? Perhaps thats why he's not a true contractor? Guess they don't make MI6 agents as November 11 anymore do they xD? |
| Wonder what happened at the end there. Nostalgia of memories. |
     #Feitoism @ irc.rizon.net - the official IRC channel for Fate Testarossa.  |
| Another great episode. Lots of action and stuff going on, with many cool characters being introduced. I like the OP song but the visuals were quite boring, needed a lot more action in my opinion, but it was still nice. Love the ED though, abingdon boys school never disappoint and the visuals were superb. I like Hei's bum look and his long hair. He looks badass. And the magician contractor was awesome. I want more! |
 |
| I have a theory!!!! Whether you like hobo hei or not is dependent on gender! if you are a woman, you probably do not like hobo hei if you are a man, you probably like hobo hei ....also the episode was awesome as hell |
| With the fact that when stars fall, contractors die, it is an easy assumption to see that Hei lost his powers since the star just disappeared. I find it weird that that sword girl was able to plant those underground electric things right where Hei would be. Hei can probably defeat his opponents without powers, but losing his powers probably relates to him losing Yin, or something else. the new opening was ok, but not s good as the first seasons's second opening. |
| Amazing episode. Love the opening and ending songs. Hei is an alcoholic now?! Yin is gone?! She seems to be trapped in another world or something. Can't wait for the next episode. |
     |
| Another great episode for the second season. Opening is great stuff. They really left us with a lot of questions by the end... man I'm craving more episodes. It's too bad Hei is all depressed, it's gotta be over Yin who's mysteriously gone. There's some really nice abilities as well as odd renumerations this time around, how exiting! If the barrier Hei was caught in causes him to lose his ability or something, I'm going to freak out. I want to see Suou shoot some stuff. Maybe like all those bad guys that keep mistaking her for her brother. Hei doesn't even realize it's Suou and not Shion until he frisks her and she freaks out, lol. People in this anime must be awful at determining genders. |
| Hobo Hei reminds me of me when I don't shave my face... >_> Awesome episode, left me wanting MOAR! I want to know what happened with Yin :( |
 |
Racu said: Hei never was a contractor did you forget ...he has emotions and doesnt have remuneration like other contractors he`s special :D I think he has a remuneration. Eating a huge meal. Also after seeing the episode a second time i realized that the guy who turned in to a rock man knew she was a girl and also the last scene seems like Hei shared some memories with Suou. I could be wrong but it gave me that impression. |

| Pretty freaking awesome epi~ I am not disappointed! Though I AM impatient and can't wait for the next episode! I need to know what's up with Yin (And that ending!) (Augh, and Hei... He's badass and all, but I wish he'd at least shave. >>) |
| Great episode. The picture the girl was hanging up was a cool shot of Hei. *He needs to shave.* I don't think he could die that easily or quickly though. |
| Looks like Yin died... or something. |
 |
| twas a nice episode... I liked the new characters - design, appearance and voicing (well, most of them) I liked the animation and art I liked the music I dislike people saying it was inferior to dtb s1's OP1, because that op failed (i dislike trashy rock music). This OP does well to give off the impression that the days suou lived so far was completely different to what she'll experience and that she'll have to cast those days away on this "journey" she'd go on in the series. This impression was given off in lyrics, tunes and animation. So what's wrong with it? it sounds nice and it has a perfect application to what's going on in the series. Stop complaining I like where the story is going so far - assuming that they're going to answer all the questions - What happened to Yin? Who the hell is everyone? Why does hei want the meteor core? By the way. The black cat in the background as the black woman is falling (1:33). Is that the black cat i'm thinking of? Why does everyone say Hei lost his powers? Is that an implication from his star disappearing? And fuk, suou. I swear, if she were holding a gun when she was scoping in on shion, every snap wud b a headshot. |
      |
| Who keeps saying Mao's alive? =/ As much as I want Mao to be alive as well.... They never reveal it so...STOP GIVING ME FALSE HOPE. Other than that...ARG CLIFFHANGER *HEADDESK* I'm wondering soooo badly what the scene will look like immediately after they stop the force field and find out Hei's still fine. Or maybe they already knew the "field" would only remove his powers? Though...It would totally make my day if afterwards they stood there in shock while Hei jumps happily away with Suou in his arms....or something like that...ROFL *crosses fingers* By the way.........Does anyone feel some sort of...nostalgia when they see Suou holding that sniper (with her back towards the viewer) in the opening....? I'm getting this odd feeling that she sort of reminds me of a pose Pai stood in before in season 1....but I'll have to double-check it again... |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| pretty interesting ...awesomeness x_x |
     |
| second episode was amazing i agree with what others said at the beginning too about shion setting up the whole scene about his father and that shion acutally killed the professor... CANT WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODE!!! |
| thumbs up for the op and ending songs have to agree, it would be nice if it is more abt hei than suou. hei!!!! action was good |
 |
| Another awesome episode! This episode kicked the first one's ass. The opening was nice, but I don't think it suits this show. Anyways, the action scenes in the show were VERY nice; it got my adrenaline pumping when Hei was fighting the Magician. I almost shouted "OWNED!" when Hei pwned the daylights out of him. However, like most here, I'm concerned about Yin. She was a wonderful character; I hope she'll make more appearances (and I most certainly hope she's not dead). *sighs* I can't wait for next week to find out what happens :) |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |

I will now look at the OP in your reasoning format. |

 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
NUUU, come back... don't leave! :( This series is really pissing me off right now! why have this come out of nowhere and blows us away? last time i listen Wiki. The 4 part OVA series will probably clear everything that happened to Yin. i bet the 4 part OVA series originally was the sequel! i don't understand why release them after the sequel, this is what happens when you think beforehand. why couldn't they just air them instead of making a 12 part series and a 4 part dvd only release?it would've been much better if they aired those OVAs before the actual series. but then again, it might have ruined the sequel, but we still wanna know what happened to Yin goddammit! am holding my tongue for now bones but if something happens to Yin than i might let go... and it's dying for some juicy juice. |
     |
| Suou called Hei 'oyaji' XDD oh, Hei. No 'hottie protagonist' tag for you until you stop looking like a hobo.... |
 |
| Why does everyone hate Hei's new look? I think he looks freaking badass as well as it shows that he has been through some tough experiences since the first season which I am sure we will learn about. Good episode though, wasn't as strong as the first but things are definitely setting up to be very good. This season does seem to lack the feeling the first had but I still think it is proving to be very good without it (though I did love the feel of the first). The new contractors have quite interesting powers, though I thought the kiss remuneration was kinda a lame joke really :/ Well can't wait to see more. |
| Nice OP. One of the better ones this season. Not a Howling though So.. they just killed off the magician guy and Yin in 3 minutes? |
| Another great episode to start us off in the new season. Man, very little Kirihara. Makes me sad. =( |
ChaosLegion said: Grrrr...awesome episode.Great fights and cool new contractors,but...is it just me or Hei`s alcoholic now? And the end was very disturbing too...cant wait the next friday :X Well,it's quite cold where they are, right? So I think Hei is just drinking to warm up his body. |
