I know, right? He has all this power, and does jack shit with it. Don't forget, as a high ranking officer, he has authority WAY above regular police. He's judge, jury and executioner, if he so chooses.

If kisara dies then he will be a excellent Reaper of Death. She is kinda stopping him from going that direction.

They seriously killed all the children? Worst anime of this season. Too much FORCED drama and i didn't want to see this happen.

If i were Rentarou i would end up killing all humans.
They better keep Enju and Tina alive.


Minus the worst anime of the season, I agree with every word of this. Really didn't have to see the discrimination against the cursed children take these proportions.

And seeing we know even 99% of the kids in Enju schools are trash, there really ain't no reason for Rentarou to save humanity. Just gather all the cursed children and leave this shithole. Like many others, I just want to see Tokyo burn.

Honestly, I think they're trying too hard to make us hate humanity. It was definitely sad that the girls died but I didn't really feel much. First episode I really liked in this anime so far.

I'm not sure if you're lying or not but it this is true I really dislike Rentaro and I wish they portrayed it this way in the anime. Would have had a greater impact IMO.

I'm.... speechless!!! This is a LN I probably won't pick up then.... I have no problems with all of those things, if and only if there is some kind of control about who the victims are... Main heroines and children are forbidden, since I know I'll go into rage mode...

Those girls' innocent wishes and Enju's reaction to their demises...oh the pain. I hope this is the last straw for Rentaro after being spineless for way too long. He should have known to act back when there was that one girl who got head-shot, or even earlier. Kagetane even tried to knock some sense to him but Rentaro's just a tool. There were just way too many chances for Rentaro's character development but nope, innocent little girls' deaths apparently mean nothing to a teenager according to the author.

Now Kagetane's going to be back again. If they just bitchslap Kagetane again for the sake of false humanity...there will just be no way to save this series' season anymore.

And yeah Enju and Tina better stay alive. Rentaro can really just die...that plot armor should just get corroded.

this episode make me remember one of the best moment in the game starcraft: the cinematic of sarah kerrigen got left behind, by the people she trust the most and people that she suppose to protect ,she fired every bullet she have the the horde off the zerg , but after activating her infrared goggle , she realized that it was pointless , she drop the gun , her face fill with sadness and anger and then she gazed into the sky and saw battle cruise warp away from orbit before she got swarm by zerg and became QUEEN OF BLADE. http://youtu.be/3V1PwpoDqzM
ps. poor enju , i don't think you will live to see the dawn , i remembered seeing your gastrea virus reach 47% , she will turn after 50%, cursed, saitenshi have 0 power , people is stupid and not worth protecting , did they forget that it's the cursed children who fight in the front line and they were once normal human , if they kill all of them , human are f**Ked. Stupidity runs deep.

Moe slice-of-life and some bonding time with Rentaro and Kisara to everyone getting killed and the monolith falling...that escalated quickly.

The soundtrack at the end as the monolith fell was excellent. Looks like this last arc has finally gotten serious.

When Enju cried I about lost it, hard.

At least the episode up to that part was pretty light hearted! We got to see Tina's dream, which just serves to make her even cuter. Plus Rentaro, and Kisara's relationship expanded a bit.

Then the sadness and depression sets in. I hate the humans in this world, but things like this have happened in the past...Yet Rentaro is still fighting not to protect them, but to protect the chance that the world might change...

Even with all of its sadness, it was a great episode.

What is that bitter and nasty taste in my mouth? Oh. Yeah, the murder of 18 lolis...
Who ever did that must die. Please, get raped by multiple gastrea to death.

As soon as I saw that it was the last time he would go see them and that Enju was all happy to show them her favorite show, I knew something bad would have happened, but never thought about a fucking bombing. Enju cry too... God fucking damnit.
I really loved when Rentarou was reading those future wishes card and then they all flew in the air. Was kind of poetic in some way.

It look like Kagetane is back. It was kinda obvious that he wouldn't be dead. I mean, he's a fucking badass cyborg and would be killed by a kick in the face? Nah. It also give him more credit for what he was saying. After all, he's one of the few who defend the cursed children.

Satomi and Kisara need to fuck already. Come on, it's the apocalypse, now mate.

I wonder what's with her brother. She seem to hate him.

A lot of you are advocating the murder of the people Rentaro shed blood and tears to save. Even though they don't deserve it, Rentaro is not a monster. Ironically, what the author has proven is a lot of you are MONSTERS even though you deem yourselves "civilized". You ALL are the same as the mob who killed the cursed children. "They killed my father and mother, my cousin was eaten, I lost my lover, my grandfather...what did he ever do to deserve death from the gastrea? Kill them all, kill all of them." Do you realize you all sound like that?

I spit on your civility if your notion of avenging little girls is more death. Will it fucking bring them back? So many people have lost their lives, could you pull out a gun at do it? Then you are no different from the mob, the unsightly monsters who killed the children. Trade death with more death...they deserve it...they are monsters.... they have family. They had family.

Who needs to blame extremists, when we have you guys around? Oh right, extremists are human too. A lot have been brainwashed. Just as many lost their family. So you would all sink that low. Good job, just reinforces the ironic point.

Killing them takes them off the planet so that it can't happen again. Kill enough of them and even the most extreme of them will stop killing Cursed Children. It's sound logic to me. As it is they're free to do whatever they please because of lack of punishment due to Cursed Children being thought of as lesser beings. Last I checked, murder is punishable by death. I'm sure terrorists have all been brainwashed, but that doesn't mean they deserve any lesser of a sentence for massacring groups of people. You're basically defending human trash at the expense of good natured individuals. You should be punished for your crimes, that's just how a sophisticated society works.

Sorry, but you're half wrong. There's a huge difference.
The assholes in the anime are angry and resentful against the gastrea, so they punish the cursed children, who have literally done nothing wrong. They are just as much victims as the people killed by the gastrea. Not only that, many of them are the one thing keeping the gastrea from killing everyone else.

We're angry and resentful against the assholes who treat the CC like shit, abusing and killing them.

So no, wanting to kill the assholes does not actually bring anyone down to their level, since even if we did kill the assholes, we would not be killing INNOCENTS.

I would personally kill any murderers, but not to punish them. I would kill them so they would not kill anyone else. Again, I would not be on their level unless I was killing innocents.

Bottom line is: killing killers makes a better world. If any intentional killing ended with the death of the killer, there would be far less killings. It's not the severity of the punishment that deters the crime, it's the certainty.

Except in the case of this trash, it is at the expense of society. How can you change society? That is the question you should be asking, not how do I kill the next person. There is much trash in our society too. So, you advocate just clearing our prison systems? Sounds like China to me. Does China look any better society wise?

And we tried killing all the terrorists in the fucking middle east. How did that fucking work out. Now there's a group called ISIS that puts fucking Al Qaeda to shame. In fact, they are fighting each other right now. Recent photos in Iraq and Afghanistan show our soldiers ditching their uniforms and fleeing (United States). Isis then stole our tanks and weapons. How's that for fucking justice.

Being kind to innocents and killing killers are not mutually exclusive. It's just that in our world, no country functions like that. Most countries who kill killers don't do it because they want to protect the innocents, they do it because they don't value lives, ANY lives.
On the other side, countries who don't kill killers value a killers life the same as an innocent, even though the killer has already taken a life. Both ideologies are wrong.

Our society does not even come close to how bad it is in Black Bullet and ours is bad enough already. Their whole government system is totally fucked up. Cursed Children should have the same rights as any other human and the same punishment should be enforced for murdering them. Cold blooded murder of children is almost guaranteed to lead to capital punishment. And that's precisely what a lot of people in Black Bullet deserve. If you can't reason with them, keep them in check with fear-- As it's the only other method. Over time, things will change for the better.

Well, I can't say much more, except that it would spoiler the rest of the arc, so I can't really discuss any further than what I have said. But it's true, that the murderers do deserve punishment. But field executions as many people are for in this thread? That's not exactly justice. How is Rentaro exactly going to lock up all the people who murdered his children? And killing them without a trial? He'd be hated by society even more. That's absolutely one thing he must not do, murder the killers in cold blood. It would give the radicals in charge MORE POLITICAL LEVERAGE. Black Bullet's world is very political heavy. It's the very fact that there is so much injustice that I root for Rentaro, who is calm in situations such as these, and not making stupid moves.

Cursed Children in America are used as Sex Slaves, Cannon fodder for the army, experimented on by the army, and bought as entertainment/circus freaks/slave labor.

Although in the light novel Rentaro rescues two children, one 13 year old boy, and a 10 year old CC from the varanium mines.

When I'm spoilering light novel stuff, at least it's stuff the anime chose to skip, don't wander THAT far ahead lol. And that's only the titles of the novels.

Well, honestly, I don't think we would know what we would do, until the time to do it has come.

After all in WW2, when the Nazis captured some Polish/Russian villages, they didn't even need to bother with genocide, the locals did it themselves. Normal, rational thinking people, just suddenly up and started burning people alive in farms, killing them by beating them to death, and all other sorts of tortures. Even the Nazis were horrified with the meticulous and precise methods of destruction. So yes, I can see you people killing criminals. What if you didn't know they were innocent. What if they were framed? Of course there are guilty people, but many times we also kill innocents. That's the tough part of mob justice. Hell, that happens often even in our own justice system.
