| what a heavy episode and the award for worst father goes to... god they are both awful. at least we had the first five minutes of nicolas, doug and nina to make up for this.  |
 |
| Isn't living up to my expectations at the moment; I might go read the manga after all. |
 |
| So Nic killed Worick's family....worick must have impulsely told him to kill his father, but to kill his mother and brother!!! Worick even though needs Nic but still hates him internally. At the end, was it foreshadowed that Worick is behind the tag killings?? |

| Perfect place to end the episode. Finished off with Worick and Nic's back story, and gave some info for the next arc. Those Tag killers are crazy badass. Notice that they even have A/0 tags in their stash? Yeah, they're seriously bad news. Now it's time for Delico and Loretta to shine! |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| I'm a little disappointed the censorship has gotten heavier because I had been waiting for the massacre scene to be animated, but it was still pretty damn good! AND YES MORE LORETTA TIME COMING SOON 8D |
DesuTronic said: Damn. Both Nico's father and Worick's father where real assholes.  To be fair, Nico father took the money so Nico would not be able to fight next to him anymore.(Or at lest that what it looks like to me). He wanted him to be safe. And yea Worick's father would beat him everyday...That asshole needed to die. |
 |
| Nico playing with Nina was really fun. Nico and Worick's father sucks, I hope Nico's dad is dead too. |
 |
| Nice!!! Glad to see more backstory, and looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| OH Worrick's father is a big bastard, Nicolas saved Worrick. Their past are very dark, the "father" of Nicolas is the same kind of guy. A solid link exist between Worrick and Nicolas, these flashbacks were really important for their development. |
| What a horrible past for them T__T |
| Didn't think Nic had such a playful side to him ... It was fun to learn about it :D |
 |
| The look on Nic's face after his father ditched him broke my heart... |

| Soundtrack seriously on point... I now see Worrick and Nic's relationship in a different light...not exactly sure what to think about it. |

| Wow, their dad's were actually worse than I thought. Then Nic not only kills Worick's dad but his mom and little brother. Talk about complicated. |
 |
| Nicolas is so cute with Nina c: We see more flashbacks, such jerk dads.. Seems Nicolas was upset with what was done to Worick, but then to kill his father, mother and brother? Sure they were cruel, but now their dynamic is in a new light. And then Worick calling Delico ''Delly'' :P |
 |
| These killers are crazy, able to take out twilights in the A rank, don't tell me everyone in their group are actually in the S rank range? 0.0 |
 |
| A slow episode, but a good one, nonetheless. This show has such great presentation, and man... they're really getitng into the nitty gritty details of Worrik & Nico's relationship. Also, I really liked that scene near the beginning with Ally comforting Worrik after he wakes up from a nightmare. She's actually got a motherly side to her. That's surprising. |

| Great episode. I love Nicolas <3 |
| Great episode, slowly revealing more and more. |

BridgeX said: Worrick was the reason Nic's dad left him, even though Worrick thought he was doing a good thing. And Nic killed Worrick's dad, thinking he did a good thing as well. The problem with abused kids is that while they hate their parents, they still love them so the relationship of the two is even more complicated when you think of it. They only have each other, but the other is the reason why they don't have anyone at the same time. They do care about each other though, but it's complicated at the same time. Great episode though! Everything about it was fantastic. I was thinking about this too! Well said! |
| OMG I was waiting for this part of the flashback. Actually I would watch 12 episode of only just the flashback. *-* |
| Is Worick and Nicolas' relationship a business one? |
 |
| Quite the decent episode, I never expected Worick to lose his eye like this. |
  |
| Two random cuts this episode :o Good episode, more backstory. |
 |
| Nico is best guy. <3 |

WolfWood37 said: Wow, their dad's were actually worse than I thought. Then Nic not only kills Worick's dad but his mom and little brother. Talk about complicated. That wasn't Worrick's mother; that was his step-mother. Worrick's mother was a whore (or at least, that's what she's implied to be; not exactly if that was her profession or if his father just wanted to rain shit down upon her name.) Either way, Worrick wasn't related to her, and they did not appear to be close. Worrick was probably only kept in the household so that his father could keep an eye on him and make sure he wouldn't overthrow the family to get control. It's clear that the family were pretty wealthy, so they had to have been doing something. Remember when his father was enraged by Worrick teaching Nicholas? He accused Worrick of attempting to sic Nicholas on him, just before he tried to smash the wine bottle on Worrick's head. |
Visceras said: When Worick says "I will force you to live ! You will feel a lot of pain from now on ! You will live as long as you can" ; "It's an order !" only shows Woricks' love for Nic. He is not mad, he said that because Nic was able to give everything for Worick and then killhimself so that we would free Worick from is life (he would be the killer and if he comitted suicide, Worick would be free.). That's why they both are now wanted crimminals. He said it was an order for Nic understand that he was serious. So basically, a great episode and a great background story ;) Bromance 100% Never thought of it like that. Thanks for the great analysis. |

| wow. best episode yet for sure. All kinds of well-induced feels and good character development, especially for Alex. I love the chemistry between the characters too. Honestly, aside from the flashbacks, the basic interactions between the characters make up my favorite scenes, especially since the overall plot feels negligible (and is so out of focus I can barely even follow it). Truly an excellent episode. |

| It was decent, at least things make a bit more sense. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Great backstory and interesting development! Looking forward to see what's next. |
 |
| A bit of a boring way to put some pieces together... Worick's eye and everyone dying when he was young. It was nicely done, but left me thinking "that's all?" |
  |
| Flashbacks were pretty intense. Cool to see that Doug is still relevant in this series. Funny seeing him learn that Nic is deaf |
 |
| Very disturbing pasts. Doug seems pretty cool. |

Sure they were cruel, but now their dynamic is in a new light. Yeah. Killing Worick's dad I got, but the mother and brother? What brought that on? Twilight psychopathy? |
 |
| Scumbag fathers. Nina looked so cute. Nic is one lucky guy reading sign language while looking at Alex oppai at the same time. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| I really like that the character development happens through the flashbacks. |
| I'll never complain about my parents ever again...! |
 |
on 
| Seems like Nice either knows or at least recognizes the woman that's been going around killing Tags. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I meant to say this in an earlier discussion, but Nic looks like the main character from Blue Exorcist at times (flashbacks to childhood) and that Dr Theo looks like the dad/professor in evangelion and im shocked thats how worrick lost his eye, by the very man thats been by his side for 22 years?! I would NOT hang out with someone if they took my fucking eye |

| Woah ... things got dark this episode. So basically, Nic kills Worick's dad after the former stubbed out his son's eye with a cigarette?! Jesus O_O Although I wonder why he didn't intervene sooner .. and uh, he also pulled out Worick's eye?! What the heck lol, why are they still together?! Yeesh ... well no wonder Worick hates the Tags as he says. In other news, Alex is doing well, and we get some creepy duo at the end taking out Tags and keeping them as souvenirs. Looks like we might get some more action next episode as Nic seems to be raring up to fight. Uhhh yeah but seriously, I did NOT expect the childhood flashbacks to end like that ... >_< |
| Weakest episode so far, the big backstory was nice but that's about it. |
