| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- WELL. Before I begin, I don't think I need to mention that this will be containing spoilers? Click here for the RAW. I know most people were probably really excited to see Hei's appetite come back, as he ordered plate after plate of food while on the train talking to that Russian dude. Plotwise, I have no idea what happened since no subs lol, but I'm kind of glad Hei is going his separate way from Suou. :B Those two are so awkward together to me. I honestly don't sense any of this so-called "chemistry" between them. EDIT: My mistake, Shion shot Tanya lmao. You go, boy. Thoughts? |

At first, I thought she was gonna pussy out like she always does, but I was pleasantly surprised when she fired her rifle (albeit accidentally). I myself will have to wait until the subs to come out tomorrow to fully understand everything that happened in this episode. But if somebody could tell me now, that would be nice... 8) Thoughts? OH SNAP. Lol, my bad, totally did not put two-and-two together there. I was wondering why he had his own gun lmao. In that case, Suou remains a whiny wimp in my mind. 8) Oh yeah, and next week is the return of pink girl Kiko and Gai Kurosawa. :B Can this 12-episode series really afford a filler episode? ==; |

Excellent episode! The OST was put in perfectly to me ears! It was a great joy! The begining was great because of the past of Tanya/Suou in the swiming pool, which reminds is the fan service week of bikinis...three episodes of different series did it already. I prefer Tanya's big breasts over Suou's loli body but in the end like Suou better because of her personality. I swear that Hei was getting his powers back....him eating so much was just like season one when he was talking with that Russian commander and Hei looking at the power lines.....:( dissapointed it did not happen in this episode yet. Tanya's powers were seen as improved (she used the bugs to see who is the person before seeing them because bugs felt July's face/bugs to stop the drain and terridy people) Her bugs were well shown so quality was better in this episode than before? Hei killing that Russian commander was great! :D Another nice killing and the fork part was great too! That hug of Suou with Tanya was so heart warming and for some time Tanya almost was back to normal.....too bad she got brainwashed too hard. I did not understand the voice record with Kirihara and what was that girl in the pool death about? Does Shion now revive people and can copy skills? It looked like he copied Suou power! Mao was funny in this episode. Worst part was Tanya dead and I hate Shion for doing that! Wish she would have been with Suou/Hei/Mao/July team...because of that I making a graveyard blog of all anime characters dead=> Tanya R.I.P. with Nika.  This death ruined all that great hug here....that was a good start to Tanya getting along with Suou now all ruined by her being dead! :( I am sad by this scandal said: athyra said: More Yin please! 8) I'm sure this is what we're all thinking. ;____; At least they showed some of her. kerobear said: To me it was part sad/ part happy. Sad because no more Tanya and she did not join Hei's team but happy because at least she can be reunited with Nika/rest with him. The memory of the past did have more of a effect on me but the music made it more effective. I cant believe Tanya died though. This is so sad._. scandal said: WELL. Before I begin, I don't think I need to mention that this will be containing spoilers? I expect people to come here after seeing the episode. scandal said: I know most people were probably really excited to see Hei's appetite come back, as he ordered plate after plate of food while on the train talking to that Russian dude.

I honestly don't sense any of this so-called "chemistry" between them. I sense that too in this episode but there was such a great chemistry between Suou and Tanya in the beinning Hei's appetite made me think his powers would come back but it did not which was a *sight*. scandal said: I did appreciate near the end when she shot and killed Tanya. At first, I thought she was gonna pussy out like she always does, but I was pleasantly surprised when she fired her rifle (albeit accidentally). Wrong! Shion killed her! I hate Shion now more....Tanya could have still recovered from her brainwashing. scandal said: I myself will have to wait until the subs to come out tomorrow to fully understand everything that happened in this episode. But if somebody could tell me now, that would be nice... 8) Thoughts? You know what happened, Madame Oreille hot body shown in detail was something to like for guys but lots of development is all I can say, Tanya's death was a half T_T and half R.I.P. because she killed Nika but she did mention she remembers liking Nika and killing him that I think I understood well....maybe. I also felt bad that Suou got punched badly...you can make a woman sterile like that....yes? Hei also looked like he has less of beard and more Hei first season expressions. |

Music once again as background was excellent! |

| I am actually glad that Tanya died just so they won't be turning this into some cheesy, ~friendship~ thing. If Tanya did recover from her "brainwashing" and they showed those kinds of scene, i would have headdesk'd so hard. I wouldn't say that it's because I hated her and wanted her dead, but more like I had no opinion about her character and think that what they did in this episode was for the better. 8) |
dumbasatri said: what, no mentions for the sweet music for the train escape? shame. anyway, generally sweet episode. had to watch it a bit much while editing, but still fun. that knife and fork certainly made me wince well, I still think the score for the first season was absolutely amazing, and I don't really like the techno music of this season. But the music that was played when Hei ordered that enormous amount of food was good. Kind of reminded me of the music from the first season. can't really say much about this episode, cause I didn't get a word, and there were a lot of words :P |
| Hei going on 'typical shounen character eating lots of food' spree and retrospection pointing towards dead of Tanya, how original. Regarding the music, it's worse than s1. I liked the techno beats in the beginning but it's getting old pretty quick, not to mention pace is sluggish after the first episode. And yet another undeveloped character bites the dust. Also, sailor moon'esque transformation is getting funnier to watch every episode. |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| With only 4 episodes left I'm kinda wondering were this is all going? I'm really hoping for some kind of hour long last episode. |
| Why the hell are they bringing back the retard detective for? |
 |
| I laughed when Hei ordered all that food. Too bad Tanya died, when it looked like she was finally getting her emotions back. Suou's twin brother has the same ability as Suou, huh? |
 |
| Hei and food=awesome. I feel like Hei should have known Suou didn't shoot Tanya pretty quickly considering positioning of Suou/Sion. more Yin please >_> |
 |
| I think i saw the old Hei 0_0. No beard, no long hair. Look at the preview for the next ep. The one carrying... Suou? Don't mind his S02 look (except for the beard), but i'll be glad if my eyes didn't fail me and the old Hei's look is back ^_^. I have a feeling next ep. is gonna be awesome. I hope. It's true there's no place for Kurasawa and the pink-haired girl, but BONES might manage to make it both awesome and funny. |
| When Hei meant everything could be used as a weapon, he wasn't kidding! He is like McGyver, only with weapons. |
| Really good ep I think I laughed (Hei's huge free meal), I cried (Tanya's death), I got down wit my bad self (good music lol)! |

WhyGodWhy said: Anyone slow down the video to the proper speed to catch who Misaki heard on the tape at the end of the episode? I didn't. Was it Amber? ALSO LMFAO, WHAT IS WITH THE ART IN THIS SCENE. Kirihara looks so deformed. |

In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| poor Tanya... she almost had a little emotion back. so the professor and Shion are manipulating everything behind the scenes there. I was hoping we wouldn't get that crappy detective back oh well. |
 |
| Aaaaah darn it, the plot's getting crazy. |
 |
| Gai is coming back! YES! XD |

| OMG. Pinky and weird detective dude is in the next episode! ...that was the first thing that made me drop my jaw. But Tanya dying also made me go "OMG." (^^;) It made me kinda sad that Tanya could only remember her feelings... |
| "she likes to eat mp3 players." -it's an inside joke- |
| wtf? This ep was feeling all cheesy until BOOM kill main cheesy character? Now what? 4 eps left and we get "Retarded police officer" next ep -_-" It'd better be worth it! |
 |
| I have quite a few mixed feelings about this episode. On one hand Hei went back to his ultra eating of food =D haha, but on the other hand... The whole Tanya thing I didn't really like >_< Also, I was wondering if anyone knew where Misaki's recorder was from? It sounded sooooooo familiar but I just can't pin it to anything atm! Also who's voice was that at the end when she sped through it?? |
 |
| Does Tanya control roaches or does she create them from thin air? If it's the former case, then that's one dirty city and train. Anyway Suou proves again that she's useless in this show beside giving us sailor moon transformation sequences. Good to see Hei's appetite back though. I almost felt compassion for that Russian dude too when he got killed, at least he died without regrets. With only 4 episodes left I have no idea how they're gonna wrap this up. And I still want to see Yin for real. -.- (But I guess I'll have to wait for the OVAs instead) Max-Power said: I think it was in DtB's last episode, when her director was revealing everything to her (about the Syndicate and all) after failing to destroy all contractors with that canon (or whatever it is).Also, I was wondering if anyone knew where Misaki's recorder was from? It sounded sooooooo familiar but I just can't pin it to anything atm! |

B| I even agree about the Russian dude. 8( I was more sad about his death than Tanya's lmao. |
| Wonder what Misaki found out at the end there. |

Wasabi said: Why the hell are they bringing back the retard detective for? I'm wondering that myself. We don't have much episodes to waste. Hope there is a good reason. Anyway does Shion have the same ability as Suou or did he just use a similar gun? But my biggest question is how the hell did he knew that they would end up there so he can sit with a gun? The train could have stop sooner or later if Hei reacted a minute earlier or later and Suou could have run to a completely different direction. Hei ordered half the food on the train. Now pay the bill you annoying Russian, that will teach you not to ambush me next time. Still have no idea what that blond lady is all about and Yin can kill contractors with there own powers. Should i expect that this strange power up of Yin will be explained in the OVA's on the DVD? Bug girl is dead and am happy. I hate bugs. Cockroaches? That's the most disgusting thing ever. You were a nice girl as a human but completely disgusting as a contractor. Stay dead. Did Hei really not realized that Suou didn't shoot, or is he playing with her head? |
| I kinda liked Tanya after awhile...oh well. Good episode, as usual. |
| good to see hei eating unreal amounts of food again :D the next episode looks...somewhat promising. |
 |
| First time you see Hei eat as much as he does in season 1 xD |
 |
| Shat myself when I realized that Suou didn't actually shoot and it was Shion. That sneaky little glass-eyed bastard. Both deaths were pretty depressing this episode, and I'm not caring for the return of the moron detective duo. At least the trailer for next episode involved some Hei rescuing Suou from Hazuki, meaning there'll be a bit of action to look forward to while we wade through the detective bits next ep. The trailer has sparked a bit of discourse in me, though. We're past halfway through the series and we have more questions than we know what to do with, yet they're throwing in the detectives?? I'm beginning to doubt whether DTB's writers are even awake when they're coming up with this. I really hope those two are plot crucial somehow. Either that, or the writers are really trying their best to introduce as much vague material while inadvertently avoiding explaining all of it. Furthermore; this season still needs more zapping. Hei should just ask someone to jump him with their car battery already. |

If you look closely it's actually Hei kidnapping Hazuki's bitch (forgot the name) Yoko? |
| Was not expecting Shion to have been the one to shot Tanya. But hey, whatever works. Im curious as too what they are up too. I want Hei to get his powers back..And cut his hair. |
    |
OftheFlesh said: I don't really give a fuck about Tanya, but when she smiled there reminiscing the good times she had, that totally made me care a bit for her. I'm disappointed she died easily, that was a good shot though. I agree. And I totally wasn't expecting Shion, woah. o_o Seems like we'll see Gai again, which I wonder WHY the heck would they do that when they only have 4 episodes left?? xD |
ScarletApplesNov 27, 2009 8:07 PM
| I LOLed when Hei ordered those massive plates of food haha ^_^ Looks like Hei will be off screen for a while, then reappearing to save someone's ass (Suou). Which i think Hei saves her from that lady that can turn a wooden SHinai into a Lightsaber XDD (Forgot her name) Anyways..That ANNOYING pink-haired girl and that shitty detective is back... I think guys (and girls) we should prepare for one of the worst episodes of season 2 coming up >_< I'm sure everyone agrees: We all miss Hei's Power T___T He still owns without powers...but not as AWESOME as his original power ^_^w0000t Till then...I have to survive another week of school to see the next episode (sigh) |
| finally Shion is stepping into the game, i've been waiting forever!!! |
