Yeah, so she IS a two timer. I wonder if Yoshino knew all along that she was two-timing him or not. We kinda know Mahiro didn't know, or if he knew he was in total denial all this time.
Anyway, did anyone notice that the skeleton that Samon showed to Jonichirou was probably Aika's skeleton? Hakaze and Aika seem to have the same bone structures so I believe that's the deal there.

LOL @ people getting upset she's being called a slut.
more annoyed since thats all anyone is saying about this ep rather than the actually interesting parts of it, i mean people are focusing on aika possibly cheating more than the fact yoshino IS a freaking 2 timer,

I mean shouldnt we be more interested in the MC with a mysterious character to him that is now revealed to be a total wild card more than the dead chick who may of been with 2 guys at once. Thats what annoys me.

That last bit with Aika is waaaaaaaaaay too netorare for my taste and seemingly so for a lot of people. Not going to call her a slut or anything but damn watching her get close enough to straddle mahiro actually made me feel like I was being cheated on. She did consider yoshi her boyfriend at the time and cheating on him (if she did) is pretty damn slutty though, which why I'm a bit surprised that people are defending her. But of course, the time is wonky for "artistic purposes" so maybe this is before she even started dating maindude but still...

What's weird to me is that the whole main story with the saving of the world and blah blah is pretty boring, even if the cliched bad guy is good guy, good guy is bad guy thing is in play compared to the character development.

All I know is, I'm a bit angry at Aika or at the writers for dumping such a huge cliffhanger on us.

feel bad for mahiro. aika seems to be toying with him, and his best friend not only keeps that a secret, but backstabs him in this episode.

if it's anything like shakepeare's stuff, seems like mahrio will be the tragic hero, and yoshino won't be punished at all for anything.

Woah.. Plot twist.. So she's not totally related to Mahiro, she's two-timing the guys, and Yoshino's working for the other side (opposite of Hakaze's yet not with the Kusaribe clan), betraying Mahiro.. Not to mention that Hakaze and the Tree of Genesis poses a bigger threat than the Tree of Exodus? And that Junichirou is special in his own way? That was quite a lot to take in but made the episode more interesting. However, I really don't like that Evangeline chick.. -_- Nor do I like that Aika chick.. -.- Hakaze all the way^^

Wow, really nice ep. I kinda had a feeling Aika wasn't really related to Mahiro. I'm eager to see where that might lead besides the past trysts.

Yoshino's so smart and sneaky it's scary, but even he was thrown for a loop by Mahiro's reaction. Mahiro's feelings are so deep down buried I don't even think he can predict what he's going to do.

Hmm, so Aika was quite the temptress. Love triangle alert.

Wow, so that's the deal Yoshino had. All he had to give up were a couple talismans? Lol, was that really worth it?

Junichiro isn't a mage, but he still won easily. Maybe he doesn't draw power from the world's reasoning?

Zetsuen no Tempest is unlike any other anime I've watched. Amazing since the start and it only gets better. The characters (especially Mahiro and Yoshino) are interesting and the story line is incredibly detailed. I, myself, have become insanely addicted to it, too. 8.5/10

WTF? It's not proven yet you know? She simply said that, but probably wasn't involved with Mahiro, man, you oughta be more careful with your wording..

It's definitely getting more interesting, but I kinda dislike betrayal theme ): Hopefully they can still stay as good friend at the end !!

My mind was blown, impressive episode. I don't like Aika now.

But definitely Mahiro cares for Yoshino, but I wonder will it stay the same if their little cover was blown?

So . . . Mahiro loved Aika? But then somehow decided to have her be (or she decided) his little sister? Awkward.

Also that whole part with the military or whatever made absolutely no sense, if they knew he was going to go berserk why not get him in on the plan? I mean Mahiro would probably welcome it seeing as how it would make killing the leader faster (pretty sure that dude is the one behind it . . . Perhaps that was Aika's corpse shown to the neutral dude, after all, they just needed to find a similar skeleton)

Turns out Yoshino is a shady dude and Aika is a slut...Is Mahiro the only honest person in this anime? I'm pretty sure Hakaze is also a deceiving person. Nice Episode.

I totally forgot about the deal he struck with the woman.

I don't think Yoshino is particularly dark or anything because he betrayed Mahiro to help increase their chances or at least help a team with a common goal.

Mahiro definitely knows it somewhere deep down that Yoshino is keeping secrets from him. I think he just probably doesn't want to believe it or maybe he wants Yoshino to tell him. It seemed like Yoshino was going to try telling Mahiro about Aika and his relationship a couple episodes ago when they were staying in the house talking in the futons but I guess it was just a passing whim or was it that Mahiro pretended to fall asleep in order to not to hear it?

Preview hints at Aika two-timing.

Wow, no wonder he never told Mahiro about his relationship with his sister. They both loved her! Was she in a relationship with them both? And since she isn't his real sister, it makes more sense that she was involved with the Kusaribe clan somehow. But how is still the question.

Also, Junichirou said that The Tree of Genisis and Hakaze are more likely to destroy the world? What??
I forgot that Yoshino made a deal with the government woman. What was the deal? And why can't he let Mahiro know about it? More and more questions pop up every episode! At least we finally got one of them answered after six episodes :p

Makes me think that Mahiro knows Yoshino and Aika's relationship but chose to ignore or think it didn't happened just like how he betrayed him in this episode and he didn't even care.

I think he trusts him more than anything.

looking at this it caught me completely off guard to even consider mahiro was in love with skis. it would be even more interesting, in my opinion, for as much as yoshino fawned over her, mahiro would love her even more than he did and not even know it. that would probably make yoshino jealous as well.

I'm actually disappointed at the new Aika/Mahiro twist! It would be much more interesting for him to care deeply about his sister than it is for him to care deeply about a love interest. Especially because we already have that angle through Yoshino. Still, at least the writing admits that Mahiro's feelings on that front are complex.

The preview does not fill me with good feelings. It definitely looks like Aika is leading them both on, which is a frustrating step down from how she's been characterized.

I do like how Yoshino and Mahiro's characterization is developing. Yoshino continues to be both the more shrewd and the more emotional of them, while Mahiro demonstrates the levels to which he represses things. Maybe he's is a Scorpio.

What a garbage, how about some random events without any complete and serious plot so ignorant people can call it INTERESTING and UNEXPECTABLE. I have no questions anymore about degrading in anime industry, it's not anime itself degrading, it's people only.
Feb 11, 2019 1:21 PM
I think that Hakaze is suspicious after they reveal that Tree of Genesis and her are more likely to destroy the world. In my opinion, there
Well, that would explain a few things.

So, Aika is Mahiro's stepsister, not sister. And that's interesting because that will explain why Mahiro cares so much about her. She and (maybe he) were in love. Also, this explain why Aika didn't show up in the flashbacks from episode 4.

Another interesting twist is Yoshino's deal with the government. They have the same objective. I feel that that Mahiro definitely knows what's going on but he won't admit it publicly.
