I called it with Lisa being a distraction just didn't think should would be making one. Loved how Nine and Twelve got Five with the help of Lisa. The second half was so unexpected imo. Really thought Nine was going to leave Lisa behind. Shibazaki came through. But now Five has Lisa ID. I wonder how things are going tho go from here. 5/5! Nine looked ready to say RIP and move on but the way Twelve looked at him showed he cared without the single use of dialogue. I liked that. No, come on, we have to save her Nine, we can't leave her like that! Just expression, pain and anger, all that was needed to convey the emotions I was really happy that Twelve showed so much emotion with just a single look. I think he really cares for Lisa. He might like her. I'm hoping Nine starts showing some even a little more care towards Lisa. Cause he really was bout to let her blow up. |

| This episode is as good as the first two but up til now you can't help but think that Five is a useless addition, we know nothing about her and why she wants to stop Twelve and Nine, I really hope the following episodes really shed some light on that. It also reminds me of Death Note because of the copycat issue and the fact that they need to cooperate with the main antagonist investigator. Please give the VA of Five some extra English lessons. I mean it can sound Asian but not this bad... |
| Everytime I hear five speaking english I just hate here more ... is that intentional :p |
| Overall it was a gripping episode but god damn it, how are the people under Five's orders willing to do this shit? They're like "Oh yeah, let's kill a bunch of people to put the blame on those Sphinx kids. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Human lives, eh? Pssh...who needs 'em anyway." I guess they're just really evil motherfuckers themselves. Not to mention after her plan was found out by Shibazaki, you'd think they'd arrest her and her underlings for purposefully endangering people's lives but nooo... =D Oh well... PS: That English though! Pure comedy. xD |
Cazzoe said: What an intense episode. I'm a little concerned of how they're going to tie up the story and have satisfactory character development with four episodes left, I hope they don't end up just rushing the ending. I agree. ZnT has so many things to take care of in just four episodes: 1) the final fight between Five and the Sphinxes 2) exploration of Rising Peace Academy and what they did. And whether it was truly necessary for Nine and Twelve to go to such lengths to expose this organization. 3) Shibasaki's past (his family background) and his development. Right now he's still just a detective that will do anything to find out the truth. There's nothing else to his character. 4) the Sphinxes' past and development. Lisa is the only one that has changed and has been developed somewhat. Nine and Twelve show that they are more human than first portrayed, but that's not enough. We also don't know much about the two's past yet, either. |
| Damn this episode. Lisa participated on their plan and then she was used to lure then. Can't wait to see the next épisodes. Five has something planed. |
| Ah another great episode. Only four of them left. I can't wait to see how it will play out to the end. I am not sad that the anime will end in four episodes though, well as long as it will keep it's level till the end and we will have an ending that will A)explain everything there is to explain B) be awesome. |
| Great ep. It looks like Nine and Twelve got out of that just barely. Though it looks like Five is still considering this a draw and will be going after them. Well most likely will be Lisa now since she did say that she is their weakness now. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| I hate five.. The whole character is repulsive to look at or listen.. But she fits so well in that role.. A role of a crazy bitch that is.. Good episode overall, cant wait to see how she dies.. :D |
| I wan't to know where Five got her great authority. I like how creepy she is. |

-Resident- said: Has it been confirmed that it will be only one cour? Because I really want this to be either split cour or have a second season in store for the future. I was also worried about characterization so they might rush some things in the next few episodes. It's confirmed as 1 cour though and given Noitamina's standards, it mostly likely will be because of the TV schedule they announced a few months ago. |
 |
| While I think Five is too ridiculous and over the top for a tense thriller series like this one, I suppose she makes an antagonist that you can really hate. Her face when Nine put a gun to her head was priceless. ONly mistake was not firing it. Twelve's affection for Lisa is going to cost those guys dearly in the upcoming episodes. The direction in this ep was brilliant. Now if they just keep folks from babbling in Engrish all will be well. |

| Five is such a bitch!! It has been a long time since I had this urge to punch my fist through the monitor because of a character... But pretty exciting episode, nonetheless. |
  |
| Wooooooooooooooooo!!!! I really wonder how the hell Five even got into NEST. Lisa is in DEEEEEEP SHIT! hooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! She gatsta remind herself that she the one who wanted it! But she got through this much... hahahaha, it's an adrenaline rush for her. Scary.. yet exciting. That was quite a save! Hahaha, Shibazaki was totally used! But he's gonna get the drift that Sphinx ain't after killin people. They're usin extremist tactics to send a message. But honestly, Five.. what is she after? Is it purely a game? I have a feelin that the explosion at that institution as a kid was her doing. ooo, but Five is angry now. I totally wanna know how Shibazaki's gonna handle the internal matters. A phone call from the terrorist isn't a cool thing to reveal, given that it can backfire at him with Five's strategies. He's back in the internal institutional politics. God, they REALLY should've invested in a better English speaking person.. Or just have two people voicing Five. That Engrish... wtf. They're makin the effort to use English and subtitle it officially.. they might as well have gotten an American to voice just the English parts, or given the seiyuu better training!! Pfft. Or effin REDID the recording! It just kills Five's character. |

Sad to see this much potential go to waste. It's not determined yet, but there's only so much you can do with just 4 episodes... Haha thanks Stark. But yeah I'm definitely with you, Resident. I'd at least appreciate news of a movie follow-up, but we don't even get that =/ I think if anything the show will sacrifice a little bit of the character development to finish strong with the story. |
| fantastic episode. it was intense and had me at the edge of the seat. i'm not a fan of five but there's no doubt that she makes things a lot more interesting. she's completely merciless. i guess because five stayed at that government facility she's lost most of her humanity while nine and twelve have retained some of theirs by escaping the facility. i expected nine and shibasaki to work together eventually but that was still really interesting to watch. now shibasaki has been given even more clues as to what sphinx's intentions are. he now knows that sphinx don't want to kill people but want to send a message. shibasaki was great at handling five's antics. twelve has feelings for lisa without a doubt. his reaction to realizing that nine wasn't planning on saving lisa was brilliant. but i'm glad that nine realized his fault and immediately thought of a plan b. one of the biggest cliches that could've happened was intragroup fighting because of lisa but it was a relief that that wasn't the case. i feel bad for lisa now. she's been caught but that would mean that nine and twelve as well since they go to the same school |
skudoops said: [...].. and the way she found Lisa was ridiculous and convenient at best, why does it look odd that LISA is running away from a fire? So many other people did as well. Unless she's psychic or something. Again I mention, NO ONE HAS AN ISSUE with the shit going down in this airport? Not even the the Japanese government? She was literally going to bomb the terminal for their largest airport FFS. Like I also mentioned last week, why didn't she just capture them when they were in the terminal? She even orders the dudes to capture twelve when he starts avoiding cameras.. what was the end game here? It was so fucking stupid. People shit on other shows for having cartoon villains like akame but this show.. I think she is worse than any villain out of there so far. It's not psychic.. but the fear an amateur has. It was the exact time the screen glitched too. Other's would run away from the fire but calm down. She kept runnin through the terminal. It's behavioural observation - that's a tactic to figure out if anyone is ready/nervous to cause danger. Police are trained to observe the body language of anyone attempting to break the law. And Lisa kept running and running. That part I agree.. the hell can NOONE have an issue with monitors being hijacked?? You're in a frikkin airport! The staff may be informed that the police are doing it, but how would the passengers know? I mean.. atleast ppl will be whisperin about that oddity or ask someone what's goin on. They just showed one couple who couldn't care less. Pff. Even though the screens were temporarily used, it doesn;t make sense. And can they even really do that to an elevator panel?? Sure, it looks cool, but that was just was soo.. wtf. And Five's not arresting cos she wants that game. But more than that, they have NO evidence whatsoever that it's them. So even if they got arrested, what proof do they have? Five is the only one who KNOWS them, but that's not conclusive evidence that it REALLY is them. They left no traces till now. Pinning the bomb with murders at them, she can maybe manipulate a few things.. but she's enjoyin it anyway. |

| I love Five. I mean.. I don't, but since that's the point of her character, I love how she's made :D Wondering what's going to happen to both Lisa and Shibazaki now. |
| Lisa makes for one adorable terrorist. Glad she finally got in on the action; just too bad that Five seems hell-bent on making her (and Twelve and Nine) regret it. Five is even crazier than I thought and I love it. I seriously doubt she's with the FBI though; or that those guys with her are FBI considering they just let her bring an actual bomb, that could potentially kill hundreds/thousands of people, to an airport (and then there's the whole "locking a teenage girl in a plane with said bomb" thing). Also, Shibazaki is such a badass (even though he was totally used by Nine this episode). That little wave by Nine and the slow drive away were funny. Can't wait for next week. 5/5 |
BRK25 said: This. Even with some well wished character development, I'd like the story to wrap up and not have continuations or else it'd die. I want plot resolution. And maybe we can get an OVA. MAYBE. Yeah, same. But then Watanabe trolls us with a beach episode OVA :P although I wouldn't mind seeing Five and Lisa in bathing suits I'd be pretty disappointed if he actually does hrmph no I wouldn't |
| Didn't like the previous episode, but this one was OK. |
-Resident- said: Takuan_Soho said: Now there is still plenty of time for this show to recover, but if I were a betting man, I would not take the over on 6 rating at the end (based on a true 1-10, not the Mal 7-10 range :-), even though up until last episode I was around an 8. To each with his own, I guess. Neat opinion though, showed some sense of honesty. Although I am still craving redeeming qualities in the remaining 4 episodes. pakoko said: Yeah, same. But then Watanabe trolls us with a beach episode OVA :P although I wouldn't mind seeing Five and Lisa in bathing suits I'd be pretty disappointed if he actually does hrmph no I wouldn't Oh no, the obligatory beach episode. I have to agree with you about the bathing suit part though. Courtesy of Mappa  XD Really though, I think four episodes is possible to redeem it combine with the fact that I don't expect a happy ending.

The only thing about the monitors is maybe they are confused or the screen is glitching. Or they ask the staf and they respond that the police are testing or the sorts. Again, assumptions. |
| It looks like Shibazaki and his colleagues have arrived at the airport hmm. I must say that Twelve's skills really impressed me this episode. Wooohooo! Time to see Sphinx Number 3 in action! It looks like Five is already onto Lisa... that's what you get for being so scared and making mistakes, but you can't blame a novice... Ah, that Clarence guy already caught Lisa T.T Nine and Twelve could request assistance from Shibazaki and the detectives in my opinion :/ Holy crap they actually did it XD. For some odd reason Five reminds me of Rook from Phi-Brain lol. Nine's salute towards Shibazaki at the end was hilarious XD. LOL, Five is one crazy bitch... This episode was really intense and it's rather sad that they're going to be only 11 episode... I can only hope for a 2nd season or something :/ |

BRK25 said: Courtesy of Mappa XD Watanabe is winning. The green background really suits the MAPPA logo, lol. |
| This episode was simply amazing. What a thrilling, intense episode. That face she made at the end with Lisa's ID was creepy. Seems like some intense stuff is going to go down very soon. It was also cool to see that Nine has emotions for Lisa. I'm glad they starting going from their point of view more. |
| Such a good episode. Both terrorists and police are rewarded one point for cooperation. Terrorists: 4, Police: 2, Five: 1. But I dont see the fire in the bathroom was necessary... If they needed a distraction so 5 wouldnt notice the camera footage shift, then Im sure 12 couldve done something in the same electrical room. And why couldnt Lisa act a little damn calm after lighting the bathroom on fire? |
~my list
| That my friends is what you call a real villain! |
 |
| Yup seems like Shibasaki and Nine, Twelve worked together...somewhat lol like I predicted. |
| man, this episode made my heart beats so fast ! so intense !! Loved how Shibazaki helped them there. I keep cursing Five all the time while watching this hahahaha |

Zrynoth said: Everytime I hear five speaking english I just hate here more ... is that intentional :p I wish they would really stop with the English, it makes my ears bleed. Great episode. Really like all the drama and how Nine called Shibazaki. When is Five going to get interrogated or put under suspicion for potentially bombing up an airport though?? |
 |
| Lisa was way too conspicuous, but then again she's only an amateur terrorist. Am wondering how Nine got Shibazaki's number. |
| I walk a lonely road because everyone else fell off |
