| I knew Origami was gonna go Inverse after her time travel ended up causing that paradox. |

LukesYGO_WSonYT said: No info though on that mystery spirit she was fighting, but that spirit knows all about the powers of everyone else by the looks of it. Well, that will be the biggest spoiler of DAL if u wanted to really know who that spirit is but let me tell u one thing that even u know that spirit very well she appeared in all of the seasons too and even shido and all the girls know her too well I will leave it to your imagination btw. |
| Always nice to see the Queen Kurumi once again, and her powers always work wonders, at least for Origami, whom now understands her past and future Inverse form. Only Shido can revert Origami back to herself, but but Kurumi's intervention (which he TOTALLY forgot) was even greater, sending Shido back to the same timeline before everything happened. Honestly a great episode compared to the lackluster ones before it, everything's picking up as how it should have been with the past 2 seasons. |
 |
| SO this was a paradox all along? |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Kurumi elevates this season to A 10 - Rating: Ara Ara - 10 Origami looks so beautiful in her inverse form but kurumi is top WAIFU material! |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
anodasin said: I think this will be end in the next 2 episode. First, Shido need to help Origami in the five years ago to prevent her rise as an 'inverse spirit'. Then, for the last it'll be the conclusion about 'will Origami remain become a spirit or will she be back as human. Master Origami is on the spotlight in this third season for me. It is a bit more complex than that... Her arc is vol 10 and 11, this is NOT going to end in ep10, but in episode 12, so they have plently of time to adapt everything nicely (hopefully). |
 |
| Great episode! Glad to see more of Kurumi <3 Feel bad for Origami though >.< |
| finally the girl I'm watching the girl for is here |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Okay that was much better and now getting pretty interesting. Was quite obvious that it will have some time manipulation plot obv cause of Kurumi, but her saying the main prhase gave some chills! Natsumi still the best for me =/ |

 |
| Well, at least the visuals weren't as bad as the previous episode. Didn't have PNG's tossed around the screen. Shame that the outcome of Origami going back in time was so obvious even before it happened. Was hoping Kurumi could have at least tagged along, not much of a date. |
| They portraid her despair really well, it was odd at first to see them using such tense tracks, since they mostly fail in implementing the OST to such a degree of efficience before. I think many people may regard this as one of the best DAL episodes in the series so far, AND those thinking they can see the outcome of this, prepare to be proved wrong, because things arent really that simple, and the real ride started with this episode. |
|
| Again, Origami is resourceful, figuring that one of Zafkiel's 12 bullets probably has the power to travel back in time, and Kurumi may be whimsical enough to let her use it. ...and I initially thought Origami was checking if she had gained the power to kill Kurumi permanently. o.o" Little confusing how the scenery underneath Origami suddenly goes from no fire, to a huge fire... did she just travel fast, or teleport? I didn't see the downward shot that hit Origami's parents... looked like Phantom blocked the one which I expected to be the killing shot. Not sure if the artists left too many clues, or if the way time travel works in fiction makes it inevitable that the viewer can figure out what Origami is about to do long before she has actually done it. Atavistic said: There is a plotline issue that has never been straightened out - that Origami recognized Shido in the first episode of season 1, but Shido did not recognize her. Timeline issue now I guess. O.o?Well, I can't exactly say I was expecting time travel to pop up in this show like this, but in hindsight it does make sense that Kurumi would have such an ability. That aside, there's yet more cruel irony to Origami's arc in that her time travelling to the past to stop the death of her parents ended with her being the one who killed them. The question now is what Shido will do to stop Origami going Inverse, as he surely can't actually do anything more than that without completely destroying the timeline as we know it. -Stray said: This doesn't seem like the sort of anime where someone dead for that long can come back to life. Also, so much of the timeline depends on Origami donning the CR unit for the AST, and she only does that to avenge her parents.Lemme guess... Shido actually saves Origami's parents wont he? otherwise I see no reason why the time travel happened again (I know Kurumi wants to learn why Origami underwent this inverse form? but really that sounds like an excuse other than anything else to pull that off) Animation was ok compared to last ep I guess, Tohka's slash and the wave that came out was fluid unlike last ep... last ep was just a fcking disgrace. Can't wait what happens more. I suspect there's some historical event that Kurumi wants to change, but she knows Yod Bet doesn't neccesarily make that possible, so she's having Origami and Shido experiment for her. Perhaps there is something that Shido can do in the past to prevent Origami coming back with dead-looking eyes and face, while her angel downs the Fraxinus, but I have no idea what. Aside, Kurumi fires twice in the last scene when she sends Shido back... wonder if that means anything. I wonder if it would be better if I read ahead... O.o? |

| Wow this season is absolutely above standard. Apparently waiting so much time before making season 3 was a blessing because this has been surprisingly good. Really enjoying this season, they're nailing it. |
 |
| Finding out that it was her who killed her parents 5 years ago for Origami is devastating. She didn't know that the one she wants revenge with is none other than herself in spirit form, now she became an Inverse. Anyway, I am glad seeing Kurumi in action again, her personality is quite the same but Kurumi saves the day again, just like in the movie. |

| I wonder who/what killed Origami's parents in the previous timeline. Was there another cause of why her parents died? It will be weird if the killer in the previous timeline was also herself, cause she wouldn't have gone back to the past if her parents were alive. This seems to be 2nd time that I saw an anime where the person who wants to save someone go back to the past but they become the killer instead. |
| The DRAGOON system gives me huge Gundam vibes. |
 |
| Soo, Origami got trolled into killing her own parents....wow. I thought it was the spirit who gave her the powers but the irony is still there lol. Unless we get bamboozled and it was a completely different spirit and her kid self just happened to see her future self in the worst possible time... |
| I ship Kurumi x Origami now. |

sharprazorx said: Haha, guessuh in the first time line the one who killed them is origami herself.....its just this damn time loop all over again...in the novel it gets explained as i said I'll wait patiently for the next episodes for explanation. This is what I have in my mind though. It could be that since the start of season 1 the timeline is already where it's Origami herself that killed her parents. There's also mystery about why Origami knew Shido and why she loves him eventhough Shido never knew about her, which I would assume there's a connection with Shido going back to the past. BUT I want to look back further. Thinking about it logically, there should be a timeline where 'something happened' (could be her parents' death or even other things) that made the very first Origami went to the past. If nothing happened and everything was fine, there's no reason for Origami to time travel. If everything was fine spirit Origami wouldn't even exist in the past. Sure there can be loop after Origami went to the past, but what was the reason that made the VERY first Origami time traveled? This is what I'm curious about. I don't know if the novel explained about this thing or not, since lots of stories are often ambiguous about time travel concept. Guess the answer is to wait for the anime. |
| Kurumi is so overrated. Just like Asuna and Rias Gremory. |

JonasDown said: Kagami said: Kurumi is so overrated. Just like Asuna and Rias Gremory. I never thought I'd see someone with common sense. Thank you! As a reader of the novel, you don't know how seeing someone who only watches the anime and states this, makes me happy. People don't care about anything that happened in this episode except for 30 seconds of Kurumi. Screw that, What about Phantom? What about the reveal of Origami killing her parents? The show has many other elements that make it attractive. Yeah, I don't quite grasp why people like her? Is it her voice? Sex appeal? She makes a boring 35 second appearence and people be like: BEST GIRL KURUMI Overrated. |

JonasDown said: To be fair, I think we saw a side of Kurumi we hadn't seen before this episode.Kagami said: Yeah, I don't quite grasp why people like her? Is it her voice? Sex appeal? She makes a boring 35 second appearence and people be like: BEST GIRL KURUMI Overrated. People like Kurumi for ALL the wrong reasons. Kurumi is not even my favorite character of the series and I appreciate her more than everyone else. Kurumi might be the one character that attracks most people into this show but at the same time, hurts the show's chances at making people see what else it has to offer. For instance, this episode was really top-notch for this season's standards, voice acting, story-telling and animation but all that is ignored becuase Kurumi is there. It's quite annoying honestly. I thought people would start discussing about Phantom and the time paradox but, nope, let's ignore all that and focus on Kurumi. I'm tired of that. Phantom isn't that interesting yet... Just some untouchable being with unknown motivations who is the source of many of the spirits' abilities. But the time paradox, that's interesting. Origami seems to have gotten herself into a well-known 'stable time loop' or 'self-fulfilling prophecy'. It seems much like the one from Prisoner of Azkaban, with the Patronus. I'm not expecting the time travel and time paradox element to get the same level of internal consistency as in Steins;Gate, but it should still be interesting with just Shido and Origami in the past, cut off from Fraxinus and all the other spirits, except maybe Kurumi. Aside, I'm reminded of the case of 'John Smith' and Haruhi Suzumiya. |

| Kurumi is back it's awesome, the darkness Origami has come xD. |
  |
| Damn! This episode was awesome, didnt expect that kind of revelations! but i admit it was really good! Kurumi is back, Origame asked Kurumi to send her to the past and she descouver that was she who killed her parent! Poor Origami! She turned to inverse mode, i admit her inverse for is beautiful! Kurumi also send Shido to the past to save Origami! Looking forward next episode! |

He has the spirits powers on him, even if much weaker and harder to trigger, not just Sandalphon summons. Anime kinda rushed on that, same with Ratatosk knowing about Phantom (Miku gave them some information, since she's the one who gave her the powers, but in season 2 she just briefly mentions "my god gave me my voice back"). |

| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| Hmm... I was always under the impression it was Kotori somehow who went berserk cause of the flames. The moment Origami mentioned time travelling back, it was the expected but very welcome conclusion. |

This is why I'll never really understand time travel in general. This whole situation feels like a paradox. If you try to wrap your head around it, it'll only lead to more confusion. |
| Origami is well retarded, how can anyone like her? |
| That was surprisingly messed up. Poor Origami got completely broken. |
 |
Takata said: So... from volume 11, the first shot is Zafkiel's 9th bullet, Tet, which allows Kurumi to share senses with Shido while they are temporally separated. The second shot is the 12th bullet, Yod Bet, which sends Shido back.Aside, Kurumi fires twice in the last scene when she sends Shido back... wonder if that means anything. |
| Now, this is the time-manipulating power that I've been waiting for from Kurumi. Time travelling using Yod Bet! Oh damn, Origami found out that she was the one who killed her own parents! The Phantom merely wished that would happen. Yeah, of course, Origami will lose her mind and go inverse, but the case is different from Tohka. Where Tohka became inverse since she's furious at the sight of Shido who was about to be killed, Origami became inverse after losing the resolve/goal of her life to kill her parents' killer to which it turns out to be herself. No wonder why her face is so lifeless. Seriously? Shido just learned to fly like that, and has only just done this now? Well, Kurumi came at the right time to send Shido back in time to change the history. Now I'm wondering what other history did Kurui actually wanted to change? Hmmmmnn... |
  |
| Kurumi is just.. Sure, it'll be fun and chaotic.. Kurumi, why.. Oh, "strange desires" which visit everyone from time to time.. Well, guess, Kurumi is the type to listen to them, isn't she.. Not that it's good or bad thing.. Em.. Why is Natsumi and Yoshino lying on one bed, and why the talks about Shido feeding some forbidden fruit to girls.. Wtf.. Hm.. Looks like the same creature is responsible from past attack as the one that granted wish at least to Origami?.. What?.. Or did Origami did it herself in fight with her?.. Anyway, this creature has Sephiroth and also has some kind of wish.. Oh, it was Origami after all.. Well, shit.. As if Origami wasn't broken enough, we need to make her suffer even more.. Hm.. Kurumi wants to see, what if person is able to change history.. Hm.. Sounded like Kurumi has something she'd like to change, or see person's strength to change things, or something like that.. Overall, confusing episode, but will see more.. Looks like we'll maybe learn about what happened 5 years ago.. |
| This reminds me of how good the first season was, pretty good episode. When Kurumi sent Origami back to the past I knew instantly what's gonna happen but seeing her emerge as shell of her former self was great outcome. And I certainly didn't expected that Kurumi will send Shidou back too. The next episode better be good. I really wonder who the mother of spirits is... my bet is one of the known characters... Kurumi maybe? But if he manages to change the past once they basically have the solution for everything. Still, wouldn't be Shidou twice is the past? Wonder what he does to change the outcome. And it would be intersting to meet Touka and Kotori again. |
| oh the irony it was actually her who killed her own parents as accsident trying to kill spirit who she tghought is responsible for their deaths when shes the1 responsible, thats nuts |
