| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great episode. Lots of development. Pace is increased and I am very excited. Apparently the professor is not dead...he is alive O_O that is crazy. Hei's plan of disguise with Suou and July was brilliant as some people transporting a coffin with July being dead. The plan failed at one point because the girl helping them took July and made the car of Hei/Suou/Mao get a flat but July guided Suou and I liked her tongue out at Hei to escape him. Suou did a great job of hurting that woman with glass shards thanks to Hei's training. New contractor this guy is sick! He can somehow look at you, sap your energy and make you dead somehow with your mouth open spilling out saliva...crazy if you ask me and his renumeration looks to be to draw sick images, I will leave at that. Apparently July can feel pain. The best scene is the action with Hei but without his powers it still is missing something. He kills that contractor death cold, with the help of July. Oh and Tanya is back! Next episode there will be a confrontation between Tanya/Suou and Madame Oreille in bikini...she got really big breasts. Favorite part and scene is Hei killing that contractor and I add that he did brilliantly, if he had his powers he would not even need July's help but he almost got killed by contractor...good thing July helped him!  Other shots: 2 disturbing parts would beGo to club to see in raw if you want this episode: http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=12854&time=1258662622 |

| GRRRRRRRRRR. That's all I have to say about this week's episode. VERY GRR. B( we didn't get to see yin, who I waited a whole week for. ;____; There are only 5 episodes left in this series, which means that the ending is probably going to be either very rushed in terms of answering all the questions we've ever had about this series, or they're just not gonna explain anything at all, and leave it open for us to frustrate about even more, much like last season's ending. |

| Lol, "some of her", as in one glimpse of her half-covered face while she was in the box. /sigh. Nnnggghhhh, they totally misled us by finally bringing Yin back, and then not showing her at all this week.. but then again, I guess that should be expected. I just wish I could understand what Genma and Kirihara was talking about in that scene, as I heard the name "Izanami" mentioned quite a bit. Ahhh, gotta wait until tomorrow for the subs. |

That is what I call great killing instinct if she did not stop...the woman would have died. Too bad, it would have been Suou's first kill of a human. |

| This episode is beyond awesome. I love how July is viewed as more than just a doll ....and Suou kicked ass! Hei's training finally got in effects. New contractor = sicko = you go, Hei! Also, lol at the trio's disguise. Daddy Hei looks good weird beard haha and I want July-kun's original hair back... Finally, some sort of plot revealed, brewing in the corner... More Yin please! x0utmyheart said: in the preview for next weeks ep theres a girl floating in a pool that looks like yin??? btw i bet we may get a hei x suou ending but i like july x suou it remains me of hei x yin Eh? That girl's hair color looks like pale hazel to me...instead of Yin's silver hair... And yes i quite like JulyxSuou :3 But I bet we're going to get a HeixSuou ending as well...how many ages are they apart? >_> Well, i try to be open-minded, so if they give a good enough reason i won't eb too ..angry... lol Can't wait for next ep....when Suou can finally confront Tanya... And the dtb OVA filled with HeixYin +_+ |

| Why do people think there is going to be a Hei/Suou ending? Did something happen that I missed that would point towards this pairing..? Knowing the type of anime Darker than BLACK is, Hei is probably not going to end up with anybody. 8( (but that won't stop me from Hei/Yin wishful thinking lol). |

0neoc said: Good episode. I liked the action part with Hei, he still owns without his powers. I found it a little short though T.T and there's only 5 episodes left ... There still that power of Hei missing but the action is great! OftheFlesh said: I did laugh at July when he was in the casket XD Yeah me too. |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Suou was extra cute in this episode. July also contributing with his limited responses for some good humor. When Suou was stabbing the lady I was like, "FUCK!!". That dude with the glasses looked a lot like Vash from Trigun. Once again, this episode proves, Hei can be as bad-ass as a ninja without his power. I wonder if there will be a contractor with the power to divide by zero. |
| Suou is school uniform was nice, just as expected. What I didn't like tough was the fact that the contractor at the end died WAAAAY to quickly. They create such tension around him that you would expect at least two episodes with him as a villain. Ah well, the consequence of this being a 3-months series I guess... |
 |
| Wehoo things are getting interesting right off the bat in this episode : D Followed by the ever so awesome OP : D And now then, before really getting started on this ep, I want moar Yin. Izanagi.. Izanami.. Oh lol they just had to use names that sound similar didn't they? Ahahah~ That's Hei?: D Harr harr harr he looks hilarious, I just can't take him seriously with that beard and haircut xD Oh and some more Tanya, seems as if she's gonna be in this some more then. Also, Ilya Sokoloff, damn cool guy xD. Although that's one heck of a scary power O.o And lol he's driving a Volvo xD But.. he's dead lol O.O Secret Agent Suou, with a killing intent : D That actually pretty cool. "So this squirrel is a contractor too?" "A squirrel? I'm a cat! Well, right now I'm..." I lol'd And July's "Ow" near the end was somehow great xD Anyways episode needed more Yin, gief nao plox D: |

| I'm not feeling this episode and I'm not sure why. It might have something to do with it feeling slightly filler-ish, most characters introduced this episode were either killed off or won't be re-appearing. Mao is acting less and less like what he was in season one, based of my memory, but either way I still think it would be better if he stayed dead. And seeing that it's only 5 episodes left, second season is not escalating as much as I hoped and anticipated. Still, don't get the wrong idea, it's still a very enjoyable show, but some think that criticizing is impossible if you like the show. |

I have a feeling that the end to this season will fall below everybody's expectations, but here's to hoping that i'm wrong. |

| Didn't like this episode that much... the 1st half was dull, trying to add a bit more info on all Izanami/Izanagi Conspiracy. It looked a way too long to me and boring. It's episode No.7 out of 12, so using so much screen time on this is unforgivable. The second half is better and has some Suou and Hei's action — something we all long for, I think. Though, I would love more action from both :) |
 |
| I hate how they keep introducing new characters and kill them off so fast. What's the point in having so many deaths in the show when nobody even cares about the characters who die? But I loved the scene with Mao plastered to the window:  XD |
     |
| Oh ho. Hei looks rather dapper with a full beard and glasses. I think he should stick with that look for a while, although Hobo-Hei is just as amusing. Also, I find it interesting how Suou's getting more... lively, I suppose. She was rather bland after becoming a contractor, now she's starting to act a bit more humanlike, although she's still pretty ruthless. She would've killed that chick if Mao didn't cut in. ALSO! "You should thank July." Says Hei. Does that mean that July sent an observation ghost to Hei, and Hei saw it allowing him to find them? In turn, does that mean his contractor power is starting to rekindle itself? I SURE HOPE SO. THIS SEASON REQUIRES MORE ZAPPY. |

| Ahh, it was a brilliant episode. I really enjoyed it, even though there was no Yin at all. Glass shards throwing moment was awesome, and Hei pwning that psycho contractor was awesome as well. Also, a new OTP to fangirl for~ I ship July/Suou now. I still hope that we'll get Hei/Yin ending though. =^= |
Osran said: Anyways episode needed more Yin More Yin , they should have showed Atleast a little of Yin maybe her hand or hair , but they didnt show anything...:( JonathanDC said: now she's starting to act a bit more humanlike, although she's still pretty ruthless. She would've killed that chick if Mao didn't cut in. you know this is one of the best features of DTB , just because Hei told suou "shooting doenst suit you" , they didnt make her later character flowery , in reference to : while suou was shooting the glass pieces at her , for a split second she lost virtually all connections to the environment and herself and only had the killing instinct.. francismeunier said: JonathanDC said: ALSO! "You should thank July." Says Hei. Does that mean that July sent an observation ghost to Hei, and Hei saw it allowing him to find them? Yes he did and he did the same thing to Suou to find him. The question is how did he do it because I did not see him with any glass next to him.... I dont think Heis power came back , even though this is what we want..Hei told that to suou i guess because July's observational ghost on the front glass of the car blocked the wierd contrators view , leading to the car to crash..,hence leading hei to kill the due..and blah blah It is just me or does Hei look good in all disguises..:) So sokoloff dude was a serial women killer before he was a contractor, creepy man, he was sktching the places on the body he would cut through..*eeh shivers*.So 5 more eps to go..why?? *depressed* |
 |
| Awesome episode. I didn't know Suou was good in knifes as well, atleast we didn't see the magical rifle coming out of her (naked) body thing, this time. |
| Usually subs help to understand but somethings are still not clear. In the begining with Genma...he mentions observation ghosts and power lines....did he mean that the organization has a observation ghost that can use power lines as a medium? Izanagi is Shion or they meant Suou/Shion. Oh great so now Hei's group has three organization after him, though the public safety was with him.... Why did the guy mention Ikita's girl and Mina denied it? The guy Ilya Sokoloff does his power use the brain's chemicals to stop breathing and kill the person or puts them in a dream where they die of being too scared like their mouths open with saliva suggest? Also is it me or a lot know about the Syndicate in this episode...Anyone can help me answer these questions (looking for you noteDhero) it would be appreciated to understand this episode better. Linalee-Stratos said: It is just me or does Hei look good in all disguises..:) So sokoloff dude was a serial women killer before he was a contractor, creepy man, he was sktching the places on the body he would cut through Is that not his remuneration? I though it was because he killed that guy in the bathroom (terrible way to die BTW) so he had to pay his powers. It is a sick remuneration, yeah I feel bad for you Linalee-Stratos you had to put up with a women killer like him in this episode....guess he used his powers to kill women before he was recuited. Traveller said: atleast we didn't see the magical rifle coming out of her (naked) body thing, this time. Yes, thank you God, it was getting repetitive a lot. Some people really hated that like my friend vinesage, I just roll up my eyes or look away, it is pointless for me to drool on that. Maybe as 13/12 year old but I am past that age. DESU_USED said: oh and i bet that the yin fans are sad that she didn't appear in the episode :P Yes and it is more D: something like this as expression. We want Yin x Hei and last episode was a good start but it did not continue. Good that Izanami was mentioned a little but not enough. |

| : > Brb gonna take a screencap from an old episode : D Just remembered the first season is on the other external .... so never mind. francismeunier said: Usually subs help to understand but somethings are still not clear. In the begining with Genma...he mentions observation ghosts and power lines....did he mean that the organization has a observation ghost that can use power lines as a medium? The dolls in the observatory (in season 1) used powerlines to observe stuff, which was shown the most in the episode with the singing contractor and the one who could absorb observation ghosts. For further clarification, it's the episode where Yin meets her piano teacher who tries to convince her to go back to Finland with him. francismeunier said: The guy Ilya Sokoloff does his power use the brain's chemicals to stop breathing and kill the person or puts them in a dream where they die of being too scared like their mouths open with saliva suggest? More like paralyzes certain parts in the brain, making the autonomus functions like breathing and such cease. And that's also the reason for the saliva, since there isn't anything (like muscles in your mouth) to keep it in. |

| Hei is now killing with of all those ways & skills he used to utilize before he got this electricity contract! |
| nice episode, had the feeling of the 1st season. Another random contractor came and went in less than ten minutes. The fanservice is still strong with this one, now it's July's turn which i'm not sure if it is better or worse than the standard fare. Also, no Yin, just when the last episode did so well in that regard... |
