lol, I didn't expect that. I thought Riku was going to become all super duper or something. That twist I didn't see coming.

Yeah, I was like.... shocked... with this episode. O.O I mean, shota-rape-murder in a 6 PM slot anime was not what I was ever expecting to happen.

This pretty much creeped me out. I knew Diva was a screwed up phyco bitch, but I didn't know she would go so far as to pull a Michal Jackson on Riku. I thought she was just going to kill him (and/or) utilize his connection to Saya. I was wrong o.o

SUPER wasn't expecting that, as well as a time jump after... that was ballsy. Can't wait to see how the story plays out now as I never expected to be caught off guard like that.

I never understood what was all the fuss about Riku's death. He died, get over it. A lot of characters die.
Althouigh I've missed his voice from that episode. The way he said "Saya nee-chan" is unforgettable. Though Riku and Diva share the same seyu. xD

i cried my eyes out on this episode Riku was an innocent character that i would've loved to see grow into something brilliant.
I think Diva is sickeningly cruel without even knowing it.

I was rather surprised about Riku's death given the way that he was saved earlier in the season. But the way that he died was...shocking. The more I think about it, the more :( I get...didn't see that one whatsoever x(

I was expecting to be all Haji like after he said that he won't be able to stay with her all time, but Riku could. Mind fuck mind fuck seriously...I don't think anyone has ever seen something like that in anime show. Especially since I remember it being around 8.

lol, looks like I'm gonna sound bitchy, but I was so damn happy to see this boring brat dead... he and Kai were getting on my nerves from the very beginning of Blood+.
I thought Diva was rather gonna kidnap him and have him as her toy (like those poor dolls), this was probably the first REALLY suprising storyline twist in the series.

I also get a little angry since they made really a sad story for Riku... ç.ç ... what a unlucky boy ç.ç

I have seriously never been disrupted by a character as I am by Diva. I'm so pissed and shocked cause first of all, RAPE? WTH?! and second of all i thought Riku was going to a kick ass chevalier but there goes that dream. I was so happy for team Saya too. D':
And seriously man, RAPE? i don't care that I just said this in the last sentence, WTF is wrong with that mofo?
I don't even want to think about her. Her name makes me shiver and I don't shiver easily, at least not in the regards of human death. Man I have see some crazy shit out there but this is totally out of the ballpark. Seriously, I don't even want to think about her right now. RAPE? WTH?

RIP Riku. )':<

RAPE?!

lol at first I thought diva tries to steal him from saya and then he would have turned evil and overpowered ...

but wth - RAPE?! that's a bit too much after reviving him o_o
so that means she's bearing his child now?

damn bitch should just die already, she's annoying!

Oh, God! What a ridiculous idea it was! What would have hold Diva in the middle of the ship? C’mon… This series is getting worse and worse… Well, maybe I have no heart but about the Riku-thing… I felt a little bit sad but I don’t know, I was like hm… that’s it.
And now the „I sacrifice myself” scene comes… how unique…
This anime wasn’t made for me, definitely…. X_x

Poor Riku that's a sad end; I always thought he would have been better if these two would have stopped following Saya around.

I always wonder about Riku though, I mean before drinking Saya's blood he could hear the monsters' voice and Diva's song meaning maybe he was kinda special from the get go.

I wonder is Riku old enough to impregnate Diva, it seems that is what she was after from raping him.

yea i didnt really think he had the capability of impregnating her especially since he hadnt even gone through puberty yet. and i feel bad saying this too, but i really hated rikus character. i was so pissed when he became a chevalier. like oh great this annoying kid is gonna be around forever. it was really disgusting and fucked up, but the main cast is better

I've really become addicted to this series but this episode disturbed me. I seriously considered dropping it, but ... I won't. Even though I never liked Riku much, he didn't diserve a terrible death like that.
Diva, I fucking hate you >:(

I don't get caught off guard easily, and I usually see things a mile away, but this I did not expect AT ALL. The rape. Riku's death...Now that I think about it there were minor hints but this came out of nowhere for me.
I guess everyone's divided about his character but I really thought he had a good heart, and sometimes the only level headed/sensible one of the bunch. I expected him to fight back, anything, show some sort of Chevalier power or have him kicking Diva's butt when Saya entered, but to have him die an innocent child victimized by a pedo psycho villain... But I guess history shows that child vampires generally don't fare well in films, etc. anyway (I'm thinking of Interview with the Vampire atm)

I hope Saya's army gets a new addition. She just can't seem to fight even defeat one Chevalier on her own atm, let alone five and Diva (who for some reason has more abilities and memories than Saya, what is up with that?) so I guess Kai might fit the bill and he would be pretty willing, considering grief over the matter and according to the time jump (unexpected too) he's still fighting the monsters even without the Red Shield.

I am so so so mad at Diva right now. Maybe it's because it's late and I'm blowing things out of proportions but I was SO MAD Saya didn't just ram a bloody fist down Diva's throat when she was like "oh you forgot to put blood on your sword, haha, I'm still alive"

No wonder this thread got the most reply.

I haven't been watching Blood + for a long time, I don't really understand why I ended up here, but I can still remember being absurdly shocked at this epi.

I like Riku. Got raped is ugly. Geez.
