In comparison to the last ep... this ep felt weak... and it was probably better then i felt it was.

Anyway
was it just me... or did animation quality seem a little down this ep?

well... its shakugan no shana what we are talking about in here... so... it was pretty obvious that shana's confession was going to get interrupted, it was expected. (she's been interrupted at least 2 or 3 times now, all of them when she had her resolve ready) now, the thing that was impressive is that the one assaulting shana's confession was hecate. ike made a huge step, and confessed to kazumi, something he should have done before she realized that she liked yuuji... or at least before she first confessed to him (even if yuuji did not realize this). the whole episode was pretty good, considering the fact that no action whatsoever was put here. i think, if they are going to do character development in any series that involve serious background story (for the anime/novel of course) and action/fights, they should do it this way, not like the first half of the anime, which focussed more in shana and kazumi feeling sad just because of another person liking who they liked.

highlight of the episode, shana asking how to make babies... not only to kazumi, but to yuuji and his family too. yuuji's talk with his father was also nice, and maybe the fact that yuuji has an older brother can be a hint of how he got the reiji maigo or how his existance got eaten. i can pretty much visualize the rest of what had happened if hecate didn't appear... yuuji would have just stared in both directions for a long time, then tell himself that he wants to protect both, since i can bet that he hasn't realized his feelings for either of them (maybe just one of them), and then, i have no idea.

anyways, next episode, at least, will be a big bang that will set up for a cliffhanger ending... or at least, an ending that will make us wait for another year or so to another season.

I think everyone is ready for the love triangle to be over. I hate it when you get so much progression and then they do something to keep things from being resolved. Hopefully the season will end with Yuji finally realizing that Shana loves him and vice versa.


Exactly, I don't want this show to be like InuYasha and keep the love triangle alive forever. It has to be resolved.

I dont think its possible for Yuzi dad to be Sabrac... I mean he got married he had allready 2 kids a third 1 is coming and he stayed with Chigusa a lot in order to know her and "seduce" her.No Guze has so much time to spend with humans-i guess- Also he could kill Yuzi whenever he felt liked it if it was really Sabrac... Dunno its sounds imposible to me.What regards the inteference I was 100% sure that he wont choose and something will happen.As it seems now Yuzi has 5 hours till 12 oclock unless as ppl allready said he has stored power of existence.Well i guess the last 2 eps will be to get reigi Maigo back so we can expect a looooooooooooooot of action :)

i dont know if you guys noticed, but the conversation between yuji and his dad had a rather interesting effect. should yuji disapear, his family will forget him, but his little sibling wil have a name which is centered around him.

the irony is that his name [to his parents] is proof that there was a first born. if he were disapear, the third child would be the second; and thus that child's name would contradict the order of it's birth.

I don't think he SHOULD even use Unrestricted Spells. But Yuji's Silver flame, ironically, should not be because of "The Silver". Meaning his flame should still be Silver-colored.

I pretty much thought the same thing, although I thought of it more as a way for them to remember him even if he should vanish, kinda a loop hole they scripted in. I almost wonder if his dad knows more than he's letting on...

That should have been obvious after the Anime original ending of Season 1. Anf for once, I am glad since it means they won't drag it. That said, who says they won't keep the biggest plot twist from the series.

Even though I knew it was going to happen, I couldn't stand the ending. I thought that for once there was going to be a question answered. But as always, they leave it for another day, and to top it all off Yuji lost his Reji Maigo (not sure on the spelling. Well two eps left, who knows whats going to happen.

Yeah. I really think that there was a purpose for naming the "third" child -san. If Yuji will vanish, there will be a proof of existence (although they won't remember Yuji as a person who existed on earth).

Now, I really want to see what will happen if Yuji disappears in the show. The first time I've seen an anime that is purely on action genre type. Yet, there's still character developments for MINOR characters which is great. It isn't just focused on the main characters but also on the supporting ones. This show/story has really a wide view for the characters which is a + point.

But, I am really wanting a third season for this. Who would've thought that Shakugan no Shana would extend to 26 + 26 + 26 (we need 3rd season) = 78 episodes?! Then, maybe if there's really a lot of material and potential for a 4th season, then go for it. I won't stop watching this!

Well, I figured that Bal Masque would make a move soon. Since there's not that many episodes left, they had to do something. Gah, what jerks they are for choosing that exact moment! Though I don't have any doubt in my mind that he would have chosen Shana. I think that it's kind of obvious that he doesn't like Yoshida more than a friend because she's already told him a few times already and he hasn't made any moves on her. She needs to just give up and stay home. I'm tired of having to hear her say "Sakai-kun" repeatedly, like it's the only thing she knows how to say.

Haha, I had to replay the part where they show everyone's reactions to Shana's baby makin' question. She's downright adorable!

Almost the same thing. The Reiji Maigo is HIS heart since he lacks one to begin with. He is just a bunch of Power of Existence representing what Sakai Yuji used to be. Do remember that little detail.

after rewatching it with a friend, this episode mkaes me laugh so much, especially the bit where Hecate made the MOST UNPREDICATABLE APPEARANCE ever... (unexpected if you're a dumbass that is)

the script should have gone:
yuji: omg! hecate!
hecate: yes, i have come to take the reiji maigo, don't try to resist
yuji: what are you talking about?! thank god you appeared, you want the reiji maigo? take it!
hecate: what?
yuji: i was faced with the awkward situation ever! you totally saved my ass

^I can't believe Ike even confessed. He had literally no chance. He already knew of Kazumi's feelings, and he hadn't displayed any obvious interest. Of course Kazumi would walk away.

But good episode. Shana's question was hilarious. I was a little irked that we didn't get to find out who Yuji would have picked.

And was Yuji going to have a twin? Or was it just a baby before him?

I knew Chigusa was pregnant :). That's standard suspicion for a shoujo fangirl: when a mature woman faints and is feeling ill, she's pregnant :P
Shana was sooo cute with the "tell me how to make babies" >.<!! She's so innocent at times...

But Hecate... Perfect timing :D! Now you're officially the no 1 character on my "wanna see them dead" list, you b*tch!!
And I'm kinda concerned [and scared] about the ending... How are they gonna pull it off in two eps???

PS: I still think Yuji would have chosen Shana >_<

... XD "Teach me how to make babies." Shana is great, ahahaha.

I also expected something to happen to prevent Shana and Yoshida's plan from actually becoming a reality. I didn't expect Hecate, though... but I should have. Very close to the end so I should have figured that Bal Masque would be popping up. :\

Also... I thought Ike's confession was kind of pointless... He hasn't really done anything to woo Yoshida or steal her away from Yuuji. I mean, the last real conversation I remember them even having was way back in that random amusement park episode. Since then he was always being torn away by that other girl (who's also in the student council or something?).

... I can't believe I actually thought Sabrac was dead... ): I suppose I should have also expected him to survive... [but I didn't.]

That story about Yuuji's brother was really sweet. The Japanese name Yuuji means "two males" so that is what the father meant about combining their lives. At first I thought they were gonna tell Yuuji he was adopted. XD

I was feeling so embarresed for poor Shana when she asked that question. If I had been Yuuji I probably would've gone to see Yoshida, just because it would be less awkward.

I am so glad Hecate showed up though. Phewph, what a relief. Except she took the Reiji Maigo out of Yuuji, so... HOLY SHIT! YUUJI'S GONNA FADE!!!

Does this mean that Yoshida will have to use the amulet to save Yuji?

There was some irony in Satou telling Ike how to confess, I believe that he has some of the same problem, although Margery does seem to interact with him more than Yoshida with Ike.
