Well,it's quite cold where they are, right? So I think Hei is just drinking to warm up his body.

Hei is paired with a small girl again. Like the OVA that stupid girl was really annoying.
Even if he did think Suou was a boy, would he really touch his chest to see if he was hiding anything there? :P

MISAKIIIIIIIII~!! ... omg how hott she was spying on BK201

Still sad that April died and now August did too!

Okay episode anyway~

'Course he would, he's a contractor, so he acts rationally, which means he searches on all places where it might be hidden

Lol at the 'kissing remuneration'...

So I get that the squirrel is actually Mao O_o? Nice, didn't expect that... [i really hope i'm right]

But Hei sure is a mess. Drinking?? In the old-days he would have never done that. I get that something happened to Yin that pushed him into this depression and I just hope the new girl can help him pull it together ^^.

Well, following the thought that suou was a boy, if i was hei, i would be quite suspicious of that slight "protrusion" on his chest, it's as though something was hidden there aye?

Great action and a good episode.
However, i'm disappointed. Not in the episode but about the fact that it seems this is gonna be all Suo and Shion. That's what I felt by the OP though (which rocks). I hope I'm wrong.

Hei...please cut your hair and get a shave...and become hot again. (Not that you aren't atm)

Where's Yin? What happened to her? I want this answered by the next episode or i'm suing BONES.

And AWESOME AWESOME ending video and song.

1. More like stalking :P
2. I don't think august is dead yet; He's probably still alive, but with burns all over his body, like the contractor at S1 who uses his blood to fight.

well...It is a nice episode but ...he have a few weak points...
the opening should be the ending...he doesn't have the same strenght like howling
the ending was really good...it should be the opening
Heii don't look so bad and he has to shave a lot and cut his hair...i used to like the old Hei
Where is Yin? Where is the black cat? What happened with the old crew?
I hope will be an explanation for the next episodes
I feel like this season will dissapoint me...i don't know why, but this episodes tell me that...Although i like the action scenes...with Hei jumpin around and watching his moves....^.^

Absolute win XD
Though when I'm posting this, I'm feeling a bit embarrassed.


Anyway, the new season is simply breath-taking.
+ New really cute heroine;
+ Hei returns, Yin very possibly too;
+ Series takes action in Russia, and the texts in Russian are surprisingly correct (about 80-90% perhaps);
+ Fights even more awesome than in season 1; contractor shoves a blade into another contractor, the latter disappears as if nothing happened and reappears somewhere else;
+ OP and ED that I like just as much as the ones in the first season, probably even more.

- Only 12 episodes (and OVA doesn't help, like it doesn't with Bakemonogatari).. 26 would be good.

The OP is brilliant.

Song is easily the best this season so far, with very few left to air.


Fuck no the op is good but there's better like Sequentia, Alternative and Kanata no Delight

Anyway about the episode itself I'll say that I really liked it, Hei new style fit well his current situation. I guess he's gonna shave when he'll think that he has something to live for because it really look like the only thing he's living for is the hope that the fragment of meteor can link him to Yin.
He'll probably get attached to Suou on the longrun and will want to protect her while dealing with what happened to Yin, I get the feeling that Suou won't stay as a burden and will learn sharpshotting (strongly hinted by the op).

The star of Hei stopped shining... He died for a moment? He lost his sister's power because the contractor side inside of him died or was sealed? His power got transfered to either the meteor or Suou? I'm really wondering about that.

Anyway 5/5 this episode was great.

Personally, I'm hoping Hei shaves a little because his facial hair is bothering me. He seemed to have changed so much from s1.

I think that there's a curse on Hei's love life. First Amber dead, no possibly Yin. RUN MISAKI, RUN!!!

o, and did the magician still live. I can cleary see that Hei is actually wanting to kill him with his knife when suou interrupts and then those weird mine thingies emerge. I do hope that august 7 iw coming back, I really liked his power.

Oh, and ninja-girl is just a female Hei. fights with retractable wire, wears a mask.

It drives me crazy waiting a whole week for a new episode, I really wanna know what happens to her and if Hei is really looking for this meteor fragment because he wants to save Yin.
Someone said the meteor fragment is actually Yin's star and Hei is trying to obtain it so he can resurrect Yin and that star is in Suo's locket, I am not sure if it is just a interpretation but it made me a little bit more hope.

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.

Forgive me for not remembering the first season that well, but let me ask a few questions:

1. When was Hei ever a contractor? I thought his conversation between him and Amber revealed that he might be something else?
2. When did Hei had a star, and how did Misaki know?
3. I'm almost certain Mao died in the first season. Why does everyone keeps hoping that he's alive?

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

1. He's a contractor. A special one though, since he doesn't have a remuneration..and has feelings. So we could say that he is both, contractor and human.
2. Remember that Hei has the powers of her sister, Pai, because according to Amber she continues to exist withim him. Or something like that. So now he shares/has the same star Pai had when she was alive.
3. Indeed, he died. They keep hoping that he's alive because they want. Leave them be. He's not coming back, anyway.

Well someone mentioned earlier that Hei's power seemed to have originated from Pai's contract, and that they fused together somehow. Hei does not have to remunerate because Pai's contract was completed and it's not his contract. He seems to show emotions in S1 and acts rationally when on a mission or fighting so he's kind of a contractor but not really in a sense.

Uh...ever since season one, there was a star agency, pandora, and other organizations that categorized stars from their time of creation, movements or changes in the stars and death from hell's gate, etc...so why wouldn't Misaki know if she was the head of the police department of foreign affairs?

People miss characters I guess..Though some people say that Mao might have transferred his consciousness to the squirrel that Suou has...unlikely.

Anyway, I guess suou will become Hei's partner or something and that that meteorite piece has sealed Hei's power. Hazuki and those two seemed to have made some ubertechnology from studying contractors to do something to their powers... Also the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and M16 magician guy showed up...

Hei seems to be stuck in a pensive state each time Suou resists or inquiries and enemies seem to attack before he can react. Yin might have used her special powers or something..though her last known form was a physical-water state on a stream or something. I don't really remember how there was any explosion in the first place in S1, and it seems Hei has taken side on another organization..though for what reason? To get yin back?

Lots of plotholes and questions, though somewhat consistent.

Hei doesn't have a star. BK201 is Bai's star, and Hei, through some rather vaguely explained mechanism, gets to use her powers without actually having a contract.

Disappear....? Why would he? If anything, it's implied that his power is gone. The preview shows him talking to Suou; besides, the star is connected to the contract or the life of the contractor, not the physical body. Contractors don't disappear with their stars.

I don't believe that, because then learning how to use rifles would be unnecessary.
I wonder why Hei joined the CIA. Like some people said, there may be a relation between what happened with Yin and the choice of Hei to join the CIA...but that's just speculation. For now.

Hmph, Mao might not be alive or he might. Anyway his voice actor's in the credits of the second episode as 'voice', as in the voice that probably helped Suou. So it might be another character with his voice but it could be Mao. =D

And as such I expect them to bond and open up to each other, and then towards the end he will regain his contractor abilities at the loss of his feelings, which will putt pressure on their established relationship (non sexual one)

That's my theory at least =P

Holy shit! Nice theory there. I can say that I thought of something similar. Although... it feels somewhat cliche in a way doesn't it? Still, if it does go down as something like that, it would still be nice to see. I really like those kinds of plots too.

I don't think that Yin's actually dead though... maybe she's just in limbo, or just been kidnapped or something. Anyway, why do you people keep on saying Mao's alive? I thought he died already, back on s1.

Why is everyone saying Mao died in season 1?!
Because he went away from Yin and Hei? That's not really a proof that he died, in season 2 he got killed by April, but maybe he switched into another animal body, he can do that!

Questions

how did shion get his hands on the meteor core?

whats holding up hei's mask? seems to fall off easily

why didnt hei zap magician guy to death when he could easily do so? so they could use it as an excuse to have suou run in saying "dont!" thus furthering the plot?

has any of this been revealed?

Well when Hei, Yin and Mao go into Hell's Gate in S1, Mao clearly reverts back to normal cat behavior. Earlier in the season he mentions the fact that if he doesn't synchronize with some computer thingy that he'll lose all his human aspects (cat's mind can't keep up with a human's)

But yeah, I can't wait for the next ep.
