| So the big reveal is that Uchikoshi wants to write an ecchi with yuri... Maybe next time they should just say "Please wait until the show finishes.", just to be safe. |

| so Yuta is a tomboy lol |

Yeah I agree, I don't get why this anime is rated so low or at least low by my standards Its been rated like that for weeks since the bigger drop off of people in the initial impressions. Almost definitely all of those. Still can't believe some people think so much of themselves they'd give the anime a rating based on the first few episodes. |
| What the hell is going on? Punchline sure has gotten complicated. This show used to be about panties. |

 The same exact face I had when I learned Yuta was a female... |
 |
| Wow this episode raised this show from a 7 to an 8 for me! i almost dropped this after ep 3 but its been getting really good and the plot has finally shown And are they saying Yuuta is transgender?that'd be kinda cool honestly :) |
| 5/5 What a strange teacher, he deserved it, no one can touch Ito ò.ó  And Yuta was a female, interesting. |
 |
| Interesting twist so far. Good episode. |
 |
| Yuuta, biologically female. And here I thought all the twists were more or less obvious already. |
 |
| Even if Yuuta is biologically female, I still want them to get together :< So Yuuta has been going in to the past in an endless loop and keeps making the same mistake that causes him to fail... He could have been a real help and said what the mistake was to his next iteration. Or maybe he has introduced enough variation that he thinks it's already good to go... I really want to know what Meika knows about Yuuta -- if she understands what he's been really doing or if she simply just knows that he's Yuuta who is hiding in weird clothing for some reason. |
| Wow, I just got multiple level mind fucked this episode. At first, when masked Yuuta was singing the song, I thought maybe it was Pine or the other girl possessing his body. Maybe they died and remained a spirit and saw the future and tried to prevent it. Now it looks like it's a time paradox or sorts. Spirit Yuuta of the failed timeline goes back in time. Possesses his body and forcing the Yuuta of that timeline out. The time traveler Yuuta continually fails, then tells the spirit Yuuta to go back in time, thus repeating the possession. Everyone seems to think that Yuuta is actually Pine, but I think he's the girl who was going to be experimented on when Pine went apeshit. It's really the only way to explain how he's a male, yet biologically female. Pine being the leader of Q-may makes more sense too. The guy from Q-may wants to wipe out humanity and make an ideal world (presumably one where him and his friends wont have to suffer). Who better to have that ambition than Pine, the person who probably holds the strongest hatred towards Uber Labs and the humans who experimented on him? I think there is going to be another insane plot twist when we find out what the guy whispered to Yuuta as they were falling off the bridge. I'm sure whatever he said is connected to every single thing that has happened so far. How bout that fucking male yandere teacher? That shit was creepy. So we basically learned quite a bit this episode: - how the Uber abilities function, and the consequences on the body - The paradox with Yuuta and his spirit body and traveling back in time - Yuuta is biologically a girl - Yuuta, Mikatan, and the guy from Q-may can all Uberfy, and are most likely the 3 children from Uber labs. I feel bad for all the poor fuckers who dropped this early on thinking it was some ecchi slapstick comedy. |
| MIND BLOWN 0__________0 Yuta is Yu-tan : O Kamen Man wss Ito's teacher as everyone expected. Dat creepy guy : 0 Failed to prevent the asteroid from falling asking current Yuuta to help change history I hope Yuta can prevent the asteroid from happening this time. |
Jonesy974 said: I feel bad for all the poor fuckers who dropped this early on thinking it was some ecchi slapstick comedy. I can't blame them. I wouldn't even watch first episode if not that name on scenario... About Uber trigger. Mikatan does it at will, i suppose. But what about Yuuta? It does activate from Meika, Ito, Rabura and Mika 's lower underwear. It does not activate from his own underwear or trigger was implemented not long ago before December 21. It does not activate from male and female swimwear. Could trigger be set only on Korai house habitants' underwear? (why i even keep a record on this... T___T) As vivan said, yes, trigger is in mind. And for some reason spirit+cinnamon+body works even better than body with H-virus. (i assuming that Tomoda had it) Why i am saying HE's? (if this is right, then it may be major spoiler) NSA and lies. Certainly, any army wouldn't mind to have Uber power at hands. But if Earth is destroyed, who cares? That's what i do not understand. Okay, that' enough English for one time... |

| Yu-tan was awesome in Rabubra's body how I wish to call the droppers of this anime back it wasn't just a plot twist the gender was also a twist. if this is really has the same writer as Steins; Gate it's possible the current Yuta will go back to timeline where 'she' was born a 'he' like Ruka. |
    |
| this got me thinking, if Yuta have multiple numbers of himself/herself because of repeated time travelling to change history, then is it possible that the one who possess the teacher that also has Uber power can go back in time too to change history too? EDIT: it got me thinking again, time travelling with Uber power requires its user to have a deep wish of saving someone, so maybe thats what lacking for that other Uber user that is also a ghost/spirit |

| daime17 It's not. Hayashi only worked with Nakazawa and Uchikoshi during Remember11. Plastic Memories is Hayashi's wok. EDIT: j0x I was thinking the same. But how did Tsubouchi overcome that "strong desire to save someone" stuff? He wanted strongly to save yourself, for example? On the second though he can even don;t know about full range spirits' possibilities. |

I think I might agree to that since Pine and the leader also has the same hair color. and since Yuta is biologically female and was the other female with Mikatan and was experimented to become a boy in mind and body thus the panties(lustful excitement). |

| Well, that was awesome. I believed in this show since the first episode and it paid off. |
| why is everyone so shocked at yuuta being biologically female ?? have y'all never hear of trans people ?? |
| wow gay |

|
| I saw someone post an interesting theory that there's a possibility the spirits of the three children back in the facility switched bodies. Chiyoko is now in Guriko's body which explains the similarity in the attitude seen in Meika's flashback. Pine is probably in Chiyoko's body which is why he acts like a boy when technically he's a girl. Guriko could be in Pine's body so who knows maybe she's the main antagonist or something. Anyways did Chiyoko have any mark on her neck? Edit: Nvm This is post I was talking about [quote=YMMS]Why i am saying HE's? (if this is right, then it may be major spoiler) |

| wow gay |
| LOL, I kinda like it. "Oh it all makes sense now, Yuuta is possessing himself over and over til he successfully stops the meteor so humanity can continue." Yea it all makes perfect sense....... except how can he continually duplicate himself as a ghost that so he can continue to try an correct the timeline, lol. |

| xd so yuuta is a girl that is a surprise now lets not get into a real world trans discussion here. we are talking about an anime where seeing panties twice fast forwards time to the point where an asteroid hits earth so yuuta went back in time to possess yuuta's other body in the hope of stopping the asteroid but failed so now yuuta is going back possessing yuuta's own body again instead of future yuuta to stop the asteroid. rabura+yuuta was pretty bad ass great episode |
| This is quickly turning into Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward, just in bad. Uchikoshi really couldn't help but to recycle this, huh? |

| Ok I think we all knew that the masked dude was really Yuuta. And now he's apparently female, nice one. Probably had some past connections with good ol strange juice that we havent found out yet. Looks like he finally stopped being a ghost too, good stuffs |

SliceofHorror said: People are shocked because it's unexpected, that's just how it works. It's the same with any other plot twist.

| This show keeps on getting more entertaining every episode. I'm actually rather enjoying the randomness and the twists as a weekly dose. |
 |
| well that was fucking random as hell alot of revelations about the past and yuta is a girl?! and exactly my expression to this episode [spoiler]  |

I see where you're coming from, but you've gotta understand that there isn't a lot of shows that have Transgenders, so people probably just aren't sure what to think, if you've noticed a lot of people are also talking about how good this episode was, so they're talking about more than just the MC'S gender |
SliceofHorror said: why is everyone so shocked at yuuta being biologically female ?? have y'all never hear of trans people ?? Who make up less than 0.1% of the population? Anyway, going what kind of anime this is, its still not confirmed he is trans(born male, spirit now posses female body for whatever reason, or whatever other reason the writer comes up with). This is not some drama about dealing with mental disorders/gender identity or whatever. |
| this anime is so bad I'm really forcing myself not to drop it |

Z4k said: darksasuke96 said: this anime is so bad I'm really forcing myself not to drop it Nobody's forcing you to watch it lol. Well I'm forcing myself because I really don't like to drop any show I started watching and I always try to complete them no matter how bad they are. But that's my problem. |
|
| Plot twist that more twist you can not. The ending left me really stunned, I could hardly ratiocination what they had shown in the narrative. But not only the ending left me hesitant, also know as Meika that Yuta is a girl left me stunned. Oh God! The episode as a whole is a little messed up as a story, but I'm curious to see the next episode immediately. |
 |
| So, He's a she. She travels time to save Earth, each time he posses his body and the him/her of the past is sent outside the body. That escalated quickly. |

SliceofHorror said: why is everyone so shocked at yuuta being biologically female ?? have y'all never hear of trans people ?? SliceofHorror said: Hey guy, I identified him as transgender before you did. I think it's a pretty ground-breaking thing they did. Usually "transgenders" are "reverse traps" but once they're revealed as female, they usually start acting more feminine to become appealing to the male audience. Yuta here is a bonafide trans, good for the shows creators.SakurasouBusters said: i'm not THAT wound up; you don't need me to calm down. it's just that i expected reactions more along the lines of "wow he's trans ?? cool !!" ok ?? i guess people on here are more weirded out by stuff like that... what did i expect... everyone should be focusing on other parts of the ep like the time travel thing (even tho it was pretty obvious) not the poor mc's sex/genderHey calm down, I'm pretty sure no one is meaning to be offensive towards Transgenders, a lot of people(myself included) weren't expecting that yuuta is actually biologically female, that doesn't happen a lot. |

Wow, someone choose to be offended. I'm surprised because the world theory that I crafted about this series debunked almost entirely just by changing Yuuta to female (like eliminating possibility of Yuuta as biologically Pine). This show is great because of it's unpredictable plot, pity that you only see the sexual orientation from the big picture. |
