| Well that's a warm and caring mother, eh? Oh well at least she baked a cake : D Now then over to Hei, and .. it's a trap! D: And that guy who absorbs stuff has a great personality xD And he got owned lol. And.. no way, it's.. Yin!: O Yin, Yin, Yin~ ヽ(´ｰ｀)ﾉ Now it's surprisingly little to say about this episode, except for Yin~ (◔ ◡ ◔) And I still wonder when (if? : S) Hei'll get his powers back? D: Oh and another thing, Norio is annoying D: Yin~ ٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶ And.. Hei obviously can't see Yin's observation gjost, because he's currently not a contractor.. I'm finding this terribly sad ಠ_ಠ Oh and while I'm at it huznme said: Btw, who is Izanagi? Another machine or is it Hei? Wat, what'cha on about? Izanagi is the codename (most certainly) that those guys use for Yin, apparantly Yin~ |

Charliehsv said: Srsly.Also it was interesting to see how Suou kicked the lamppole after Yin hugged Hei. Is she developing feelings for him and getting jealous of Hei? Don't get in the way of my Hei x Yin though! >< Not a bad episode. The whole Hei x Suou thing is... D: I'm glad to see Yin back, and very curious about what she's doing. It appears that the person Hei said he would kill back in episode 3(?) really was Yin. Why'd she kill Norio's mom, and why did Hei hate her back then? Hmm... Mao is awesome. I just found the way he was lying down on the table watching TV in his comical squirrel body and scratching his back hilarious. I have no idea why. |

| This show only gets better and better with every episode I see...nice. I took quite a liking to Heibo, but it will be nice as well to see him turn back to normal. I am sure he will regain his abilities somehow... ^^ |

He said something about killing "her", and I'm quite sure it's not Yin he's hinting at O.o I mean lol if he would've wanted Yin dead, he wouldn't have stopped Suou from firing the container, right? |

| Great episode, I'm starting to like this season better than the previous one. I just hope the romance thing doesn't develop too much, I don't think that tag fits DtB. |
| Pretty good episode. Things are definitely getting rolling. Could have done w/o all the tranny tears there at the end though lol |

Hei and madame oreille were both right concerning trust, hei probably tried to trick her to find yin and she tried to trick him to kill yin, but hei noticed it, that's why he quit working for her. So I think that he was just acting in ep 3 when he was talking about killing yin or He really wants to kill her by himself... :/ |

| Loved it! |
 |
| OH SHI- WHAT THE HELL ?! Okay, so probably because it's been a long time since i've watched Darker than black season 1, I was very confused when Yin showed up. Didn't she sacrifice herself in he Gates of hell? And what's all this doll business? And the box/container thingys ? So now they have her body? So she lives through her ghost? And how the hell did she kill that woman? I don't even understand what the things with three eyes are or something ( was it seekers? observers?) and they observe you but you can't look at them cuz they'll catch your presence or something? And yin wasn't Hei's "woman", i mean they were close and all but they weren't really in that relationship? And who's that woman with brown hair and glasses who seems to know hei and asks what section 3 really is ? I am so confused. Oh yeah and who the hell is Madame oreille? I mean what's her function in the story? Anyway, really crappy animation towards the end. And I love July's character and expression, it suits him so much :D |

| After watching this episode we can say I'm truly shocked. Like half of the cast has shown some big changes in style or intentions and I'm not talking about only Hei, even Michiru has shown us that she still has emotions even if it's only for her son. I'm glad Hei is not in need of alcohol anymore since eating like fifty dishes of random food fits him much-much more. And LOL. Suou, knives instead of the railgun? Hei'll have to train her again. |
| Yinnn~ Suou is getting feelings for Hei? Ohhohoho.. |

| If Suou is naked AGAIN in the next ep I'm dropping this shit. :/ Oosran said: huznme said: Btw, who is Izanagi? Another machine or is it Hei? Wat, what'cha on about? Izanagi is the codename (most certainly) that those guys use for Yin, apparantly Yin~ Izanami =/= Izanagi |
| Figured when they said it was cargo, that it was probably Yin. So sad that Hei can't see her observer apparitions and know she's watching over him and possibly trying to guide him to her location since he lost his powers. I hate that new girl. She kicked Yin's apparition. Jealous b*tch. |
 |
| I have a feeling when Yin " hugged" Hei at the end was on purpose to anger Suou. lol |
| Izanami = Yin Izanagi = Shion I've gotta a feeling that Hei will shave and cut his hair in the next episode (sinse they're not showing him in the preview) hopefully :3 Suou kind of looked like on of the Gunslinger Girl character in the preview though.. -_-' I don't mind a little Suou/Hei ralation (he's already seen her naked xD), but Hei/yin is the best one!!!! I also started to not like Misaki as much as the 1st season :( |
| naise ep Bak to TOKYO! lol |

| I was originally digging the amount of character development, but now I think that it's causing the action to take too much of a hit. I want to see some more Hei fights. :/ |
| These series getting better and better loved it!! Welcome back Yin!! xD |

MM805 said: Suou kicked Yin. This is the best episode. ^^ |
wakka9ca said: Indeed, good to see the brighter side of Hei back....and Suou acting less like a contractor... So will it turn out to be a loli harem? ^ ^ || This made me laugh pretty hard. Seriously, why are contractors developing emotions? Dolls too? WTF is going on? This better have something to do with the main plot and or they are becoming more human due to the gates loosing their power or something like that. I'm not sure what to think of this episode. For all the loli Yin fans it's great. But did this episode really add anything to explaining the unknowns in the last series. I was completely wrong and I have no idea what they are trying to do here from a story stand point right now. My only guess is that now with only six episodes left, the return to Tokyo marks a turning point where they are going to have to start addressing some of the major holes pertaining to the Gates and Contractors themselves. Another thought I had was that maybe Yin had been possessed by Amber, (Edit: or Pai,) and is now under her control, that would explain some of her new powers. I might just have to sit back and watch to see what happens now, because I feel like I'm just guessing blindly now. Decent episode although they did have another magic girl transformation. Since Suou is supposedly not going to use her gun again, I'm thinking the magic girl transformation will be given a rest for a while. I was really disappointed when she was attacked and no new powers developed, but the whole Yin stealing powers would explain why Suou isn't taking other contractors powers. |

| Yin stole Norio's mothers contractor powers, and probably has Hei's powers aswell. You seen it first here folks. |

Hei_And_Ed_Lover said: Izanami = Yin Izanagi = Shion It's actually implied in this episode that Suou is Izanagi...or at least section 3 thinks she is. Which explains why Norio's mother wanted to bring Suou in, and Yin may have killed Norio's mother to stop whatever may happen when they have Inanagi and Inazami, but that's just speculation.... |
Plate said: If Suou is naked AGAIN in the next ep I'm dropping this shit. :/ I am not going to drop it but I am thinking of closing my eyes but it is getting too much the point of admire Suou naked. Nanakogin said: OH SHI- WHAT THE HELL ?! Okay, so probably because it's been a long time since i've watched Darker than black season 1, I was very confused when Yin showed up. Trying to help but we all wanted her to show up. All in the Yin x Hei club. Nanakogin said: Didn't she sacrifice herself in he Gates of hell? I don't thinkt so but even if she did, she still is quite alive. Nanakogin said: And what's all this doll business? Must be the love for them, first season proved it is possible to have love for Dolls Nanakogin said: Yes, they have the body and it looks intact.And the box/container thingys ? So now they have her body? Nanakogin said: So she lives through her ghost? Yes, it looks like that and also she can kill other contractors too with power possession of thei own powers. Nanakogin said: I suppose she took over her powers somehow or her mind. And how the hell did she kill that woman? I don't even understand what the things with three eyes are or something ( was it seekers? observers?)

It gets constantly repeating and I just saw some sailor moon transformation and the body it is not detailed with details just colorful. |

 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| You will like THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxI55AfwuaE It's the full version of the OVA's trailer. It looks AWESOME to me. Can't wait to see this... Is the release date 23rd December or 27th January 2010? I don't know... Either way, it is too long for me... |
 |
| I just wanted to say after seeing it a third time the music from the time in that house with Mao/Suou/Hei/July does blend well but Suou doing that deal with Hei of her stopping to shoot if he stops to drink does mean she cares for him. I though that if someone wants you to stop somethng you want him to stop it means, mutual care. I would also be interested if Suou can take out something else than to shoot with...also she did shoot that bird after all based on those subs. I also think that Suou is realizing about how Norio is when she was before being a contractor so hoping Norio becomes a crazy contractor of some kind too. Where is Tanya BTW? |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
francismeunier said: Well, maybe. But in my opinion the scene with the crybaby Norio and the dad with a normal, manly hair (finally) meant their role in the anime has ended at the point. Plus Suou is going to Tokyo with the others. I hope they'll meet Tanya there having an epic fight around the end.I also think that Suou is realizing about how Norio is when she was before being a contractor so hoping Norio becomes a crazy contractor of some kind too.

Guess sudden appearance by Norio then saying something about love to Suou with sudden contractor would be amazing too. Don't you think? |
| Great episode~ Did expect Hei to have lost all his powers. But Finalle we saw Yin :P I hope she'll be more there too. |
Tosi ystävyys ei jäädy pakkasella! Thank you for your visit. Welcome again! |
| So far so good :) I don't remember Yin had power over water! seems like she's not just an observer ghost anymore |
| I enjoyed this episode, Genma made me lol with his truck thing. Made me think of Transformers. I do wonder how the hell Yin killed Norio's mom with water. Dolls = observation, unless she's somehow evolved as a doll in the gap between seasons 1 & 2. They're breaking rules! Gah! And I'm getting a grim foreboding that they're really going to remove Hei's powers for good. >____> Let's hope that's what they're trying to make me feel, so they can surprise me later. And... uh. I hope Hei wasn't serious about Suou not using her rifle anymore. Because... well, they're up against two contractors, a person who understands how he thinks, and a lot of guns. If they don't at least have a giant sniper rifle for backup, then I fear how long they'll last. Then again, Yin might pop up and back them up with her water-powers. Also, I love the zip-line fetish that Hei and the lightsaber chick have. I love the sound it makes when they use 'em and it's fun to watch them swing around Spidey-style. XD Hmmm. I also wonder why Suou kicked the lamp. Is it because she's starting to feel for Hei, or is it because she was irritated with Yin for killing Norio's mom? Interpretations, interpretations... |
 |
| It's nice to have Yin back. |
 |
| YESH!! Yin is finally back~! Good thing Suou didn't shoot her! (I'm also confused about the Yin-observer ghost water bending... >D) |
| YINYINYINYINNNNNNNNN<3 That was a really good episode, I'm pumped. |
 |
| YIN IS BACK! Its great to see Hei coming around and ordering Suou not to shoot anyone anymore because it doesn't suite her. All we need is for Hei to get his powers back! |
 |
| This episode actually made me realize the REAL reason I hate this new season (aside from the stupid way Hei now looks/acts.) The first season really focused on the remaining aspects of humanity in the contractors and made them into compelling characters. This season, on the other hand, seems to focus on their INhumanity. It's impossible to have good characterization if most of the main characters lack any emotion whatsoever. In my opinion the great characterization was what made the first season so awesome. |

I don't know about that. This episode had a huge focus on the contractors' humanity. It's true that the first few episodes focused more on the contractors' inhumane aspects, but that's not exactly a bad thing. I though it provided a good foil to the first season. |
| Oh man, its really getting complicated now. |
