Irondragon said: FunkyEx said: Rito's Harem is currently with 13 girls (including Kyoko e Mikan) This is basicly all the girls in the series - Senseis, Nemesis, Shizu, Mio, Aya, Saki and the later introduced Deviluke Queen (which has major importance in the next arc after darkness although only appearing in chapter of the manga). With that said, at this point the Harem is just too big to not end in one, we are not talking about shuffle level harem in which he chose 1 and 3 girls were left hurt... here if he chooses 1 girl we have 12 girls that will be hurt and Rito is too nice to hurt so many people. I have to disagree with you on this: Shizu has never shown to have any kind of romantic feelings for Rito neither in the manga nor in the anime. Saki-sama is clearly in love with Zastin and personally I would prefer she didn't get into the harem so that she can be with him at some point. Also I can't imagine Nemesi been big on the whole sharing one guy kind of thing. But I have to agree that if TLRD ends with Rito and just one girl or even just Lala and Haruna it would be a colossal disappointment and an immense waste of every bodies time just like Nisekoi. There have been a few hints on shizu, but nothing conclusive about her having romantic feelings for rito, though the author does seem to be setting her up for it. As for saki, while i'm 50-50 on whether she'll eventually switch interests, i firmly believe she will NOT end up with zastin simply due to the fact that in the long run, i think he's both too old for her(zastin is implied to be gid's right hand man, and fought for deviluke in the great galactic war, plus he seems to have been the deviluke sister's guardian for years, making zastin in his 30's), and he has shown no real interest in her romantically, time will tell though. Nemesis could end up in his harem, if she mellowed out a little (she seems to be in the mainga as of late), more than that though she'd have to get along with momo, since 90% of her actions seem to be to annoy and tease her. I agree, in fact i cannot see a way it wouldn't end up in a harem ending, this episode in general points out that rito is starting to realize he does have feelings for more than just lala and haruna, the problem being he simply doesn't know exactly how to handle it, which is what keeps the story going. @Funkyex Mikado has shown signs of at least minor attraction to rito, though i do not think tearju has, that said i'd be very surprised if she doesn't at some point. Aya has shown no interest in rito, romantically or otherwise as of yet. Mio probably has interest in rito, but she's generally overshadowed by risa and nothing confirms or denies it. The queen of deviluke does NOT have romantic feelings for rito, she has a great deal of respect for him and thinks he would make a great son-in-law for her daughters, as he reminds her of gid in that he has an unwavering conviction to his beliefs which even she cannot break(makes sense in the story without spoiling it), she also supports momo's harem plan, as long as momo figures out why she wants it in the first place. |
| Awsome stuff this anime :D Kotefawa is still best girl imo, and i wish she'd get more screen time, tho nice progression with lala |
 |
| Great episode. Finally some Lala focus again, how long has it been? |
  |
| Yay at last Episode with Lala. The episode showed how much Momo cares about her big sister not able to show her what is after a kiss. Can't wait to see Nana reaction to Momo's harem plan. This pic sum it up the episode.  |
| some lala after a long time lol, im going to be mad if when this show ever ends, like ends ends, like the manga ends or something if it doesnt end up with the harem plan working out lol, then it would make this whole show 1 big cock tease -_- |
| Fuck you Rito ¬¬ |

| Before Rito fall and french kissed Lala's "special place", i think the other, "one-eyed" part of him kissed it earlier.... ;) OmG... Rito will be even MORE happier next episode...... Lucky b@st@rd. XD |
 |
| I forgot how awesome Lala is!! It's been so long that she hasn't been in the spotlight that I grew fonder of Momo even more, but this episode re-confirms just how much awesome Lala actually is. I wonder what Nana's reaction to Momo's plan would be. Rito, just forget about boring Haruna, please!! LOL! |

I'm a bit sad this scene wasn't as cute in the anime as it's in the manga I was hoping of making it into a gif |
 |
| 'Bout time Lala gets even a droplet of focus again :P Too bad Rito still has the constitution of a level 3 slime since episode 1 of this series :P |
 |
| I know it would ruin the comedy, but Momo needs to sit Rito, Lala and Haruna and force everyone into a serious discussion about feelings. Including her own. |

|
| I find it funny how people want and are so sure the series will end with a Harem While me personally, I'm just sitting here and waiting for the next Oreimo to happen  |

Deknijff said: Objurgo said: I'm talking about Oreimo obviously T_T Ok I'm going to assume you misread my comment I'm saying I'm expecting To Love Ru Darkness to end just like how Oreimo ended Ah, I get what you mean now. And I disagree. This show isn't ever gonna end... The author is just going to have the characters run in circles whist slowly adding more characters to the ring of death until everyone gets sick of it T_T |

Dariamus said: Deknijff said: Momo talk about feelings.... I can't see that happening.

My class ended so I headed on home. Well she seems to know Rito doesn't harbor feelings of love to her so she probably thinks the best option is just to make the harem happen for her own benefit thinking everyone will just be cool and as happy as her with it and also throwing in some other random girls into the mix just to make the fans happy for the time being. |
|
| Mikan is right when it comes to the mood of this episode feeling nostalgic. Really glad to see Lala getting the spotlight for once after so long. |
| Why cheek only!!and that lucky bastard rito prefers haruna more..feeling dissapointed.. |

curzon17 said: Nice to see Lala get some attention for a change. |
 |
| Seeing Lala getting some actual screen time was a nice change. Ending was surprising. Can't wait to see Nana's reaction to the harem plan. Rito pissed me off more than usual in this episode. |

G_Spark233 said: Seeing Lala getting some actual screen time was a nice change. Ending was surprising. Can't wait to see Nana's reaction to the harem plan. Rito pissed me off more than usual in this episode. It's probably because even though they've known each other for this long, Rito acts as if he's just met Lala and the rest. And shoves every ones feeling back as if it's parasitic moss T_T |
|
Or maybe he's trying to do the right thing. Would you guys rather have him turn into Makoto or something? |
|
| That's what Momo is trying to do with the harem thing :P Leading peoples feelings a long, letting them feel a one sided love, "Accidentally" groping them, is not the right thing to do. He needs to seriously get his shit together and tell the girls he is interested in, Sairengi and Lala, what the hell is going on instead of going. "ohoohhwaaaaaa! boblooblooloooo!" all the bloody time. |

"ohoohhwaaaaaa! boblooblooloooo!" all the bloody time. Well Rito is trying his best from his own abilities. But I agree he has to get his shit together He needs to improve on his shyness and try to be less clumsy and falling on everyone. But at least he's not just dating the girls who has feelings for him just for the sake of dating them. |
|
| It wouldn't be for the sake of it. All their feelings are mutual. They all love each other and every one is aware of it, there really isn't an excuse at this point for the relationships between the characters to be so stagnant right now :P |

Ah sorry, I'm referring to Haruna and Lala, the supposed main love interests.. Oh ok than Well I agree the relationship should be all worked out and fixed by now. But the major problem is Haruna and Rito are just to shy. Even now with such a big leap that recently happened in the manga they can't seem to exit their comfort zone which is seriously annoying. |
|
| Yeah that's what I meant when I said the show is going in circles now, and from the sounds of it, the manga also :T The progression is just way too slow, the characters are hardly evolving with the exception of Run and Yami. The only reason I'm still watching this series is of of sheer stubbornness lol |
|
 Finally.. some legit screen time for Lala! <3 And im glad to see there's some progression in her r/s with Rito. |
 |
| This feels like the first episode in ages that had progression in the story and a similar to feeling to what the first few seasons. I honestly prefer this over the constant backstory that seems to repeat. Hope we get more like this in the future. |
 |
| Rin was so kawaii at the start of the ep blushing like that <3 And even tho Lala's not my fav, I really missed seeing her being aggressive. Kawaii <3 Dat "Lower Lip" kiss :L And DAT friggin Haruna dream kiss L-L-LEWD |
 |
| Lala is love, Lala is life <3 xD The only possible ending for this anime is HAREM! :D hahaha If this doesn't end with harem then i'll rate this as 0/10 ahahaha |

Objurgo said: It wouldn't be for the sake of it. All their feelings are mutual. They all love each other and every one is aware of it, there really isn't an excuse at this point for the relationships between the characters to be so stagnant right now :P Exactly this. At this point there is little reason, story wise, to drag out the confessions and real development in the relationships. All the main girls know about Rito's feelings and each others feelings. Half of them know about the harem plan. |
| You know what, this is the reason why I loved To Love Ru, is because of Lala and I love how this episode gave me nostalgia which it made me cry. God, this is the best episode that I've watched in Darkness. |
 |
| An episode more focused on Lala, the original pioneer pairing for Rito. So Momo is finally telling Nana her grand Harem plan scheme! 4/5. |
 |
| This episode sure had some interesting character development! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Lala is just not interesting anymore for me. |
| Episode 9 & 10 uncensored is available in kissanime! |
| Rewatching, :) Uncensored Lala scenes.... Nuff said. XD |
|
testamentKAISER said: Rewatching, :) Uncensored Lala scenes.... Nuff said. XD Where's the love for Momo? Not to mention, all of my waifus from that show XD |
| still waiting for haruna's episode. :/ |
