This episode actually looked really good again and people start complaining about it? About a single scene? The first couple of episodes looked really bland and I lost count of the off model shots (overall just dissapointing), this episode looked great. The fight scene in the bedroom looked amazing, and while the fight in the forest went a little overboard (really stylized and off model on purpose which I'll admit doesn't really fit the show) it was still animated well

Considering what's coming next I'm glad Bones seems to have saved some budget

Very intense episode this time, but it bothers me how the show is yet again using Shirayuki as a damsel in distress and yet again using her red hair as her captors' motivation (at least, the latter seems to be the case this time). I can understand why, especially with Obi's unrequited love of her and Raj's general development on the line, but it doesn't exactly make it any better.


Got kidnapped from kidnappers along with initial kidnapper.Lol.

I thought to myself:,,These kidnappers better have some good motivation", as soon as they're introduced.

lol that obi fight scene had such shitty animation , almost as bad as naruto

Truth.

This episode was really intense but they are kinda repeating the tested formula, but maybe there will be some more development on this kidnapping accident later. How didn't she ask Kazuki why he kidnapped her? That would be my first question.

And that is why I love Obi. <3

I expected a little more resistance on Shirayuki's part, but she hasn't really been given time to put her wit into action. Plus she's super scared now. But I want her to do something for herself, c'mon...

Zen on a white horse lol.

Well, I didn't expect the pirates to be a separate group all together.

But, It looks like my theory may be right. The mountain ppl are looking for her and it seems me may still be of royal lineage and her long lost family is looking for her. (remember my long ass comment on ep 4 about my theories on who she may be).

Whoo, action. Obi was full on no-anger-managment. I think with his development this season, he might just be my favourite character of this series.

I wonder what Kazuki's motives for kidnapping are, because it seems of the two people that kidnapped Shirayuki, that woman seems worse.

I am so sorry but what?! She got kidnapped again? Pretty lazy story writing I must say......
There are better ways to advance the story than to have the main heroine getting kidnapped three time plus a kidnapping attempt so far in the anime series.....In this ep I count this as the two kidnappings. (-_-) one by the Kazuki and another one by the pirate......
I really hope that Shirayuki isn't a damsel in distress for the reminder of the anime....

Obi best guy woot!

Kazuki is probably the worst kidnapper ever: mentions the name of his companion and then gets kidnapped himself. Either way he pisses me off. Where she belongs, is not for you or someone else to decide.

I like, that Raj is really worried about Shirayuki and decides to help. He really matured the last few episodes.

Them pirates have a turtle dinosaur thing as their figurehead, they must mean business.

I wonder if the time the clock stopped (which was the time of the first kidnapping) would be an important plot point.

WHAT AN INTENSE EPISODE.

Shirayuki is kidnapped by Kazuki and Itoya. Obi is knocked out by the kidnappers because Prince Raj's little siblings open the door suddenly. T_T

My lovely Zen to the rescue. (>人<) (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♥‿♥

I am proud for Raj. He is getting mature. He starts to embrace his duties and to become stronger, thanks to Shirayuki.

OBI IS SO BADASS IN THIS EPISODE. HE GOES IN FULL WRATH MODE. HIS DEATH STARE IS... WOW. ALTHOUGH HIS LOVE FOR SHIRAYUKI IS UNREQUITED, HE STILL LOVES HER DEARLY. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง ♥‿♥

So Shirayuki and Kazuki is kidnapped by pirates aka the "Sea's Talon." Poor Shirayuki. She is double kidnapped. :'((

Man, I didn't expect such bad animation during the forest fight. At least the end, with the guy pinned to the tree, was good.

On one hand, Shirayuki's red hair will probably make her a target her entire life. On the other, haven't we been through this subplot several times already?

As for Kazuki, part of me feels that they're hinting towards him being related by blood to Shirayuki, but I sure hope she doesn't turn out to be part of a still ruling royal family, her being a commoner made for a more interesting plot than that. That scene with Shirayuki talking about her roots with Obi was surely planted for something that'll come up in future episodes.

Now that I think about it, what if Shirayuki's part of that clan of vigilantes that isn't officially acknowledged by the king of Tanbarun, or even bandits?

Kidnapception! LOL

Yuki-cha is just one kidnappable character. She is always getting kidnapped. Does she always get kidnapped in the manga too? She can't physically fight either and has to heavily rely on people around her to save her. She is the epitome of a damsel in distress, tbh. However, she is mentally strong, just not physically.

The kidnapper got kidnapped along with being kidnapped with the person who the kidnapper originally kidnapped. Damn. I found the episode to be a little bit nutty, but there is some actual plot happening here and the intensity's there for sure, now it's about anticipating the motives exactly behind all the kidnappings happening here as well as Zen and Raj being able to make it on time along with Obi in his own route. The animation for Obi's rage and fight with one of the original kidnappers looked a little bit wacky with the cheap looking sakuga but at least it matched the intensity well enough for it to kind of work, and the rest of the episode looked really solid. I'm still preferring season 1 over this so far.

So Kazuki ends up kidnapping Shirayuki. The other scar face dude keeps Obi busy while Shirayuki is tied up. And thanks to horrible timing, Obi gets knocked out as he gets distracted by the royal kids entering the room. Now Obi is super mad at himself for letting Shirayuki get kidnapped like this. And Zen had one of those bells sent for Shirayuki which would have worked to find her location in case she gets kidnapped.

This is a very big problem – Kazuki just picked a fight with two kingdoms. He didn't just kidnap a normal girl named Shirayuki, he kidnapped the representative of Clarines, the personal guest of the first prince of Tanbarun, the lover of the second prince of Clarines, and from the freakin royal castle at that. This boy's got balls, man. And now the royal guards of Tanbarun, the prince of Tanbarun, and the prince of Clarines are out to save her. Things don't look good at all. The king of Tanbarun knows that this isn't something to be taken lightly as this is one ginormous problem – the king doesn't know the exact position of Shirayuki in the castle at Clarines, but he does know that Shirayuki is representing Clarines to an extent and this matter can not be overlooked. So he gives Zen the freedom to move and Raj authority to take action. And surprisingly, Raj isn't going to sit at home as he wants to join Zen.

Meanwhile, the mountain bandits kidnap Kazuki and get Shirayuki as a bonus prize. The bandits have now, probably unknowingly, picked a fight with the princes of two kingdoms. Obi has also run after Kazuki and comes across the scar face dude but he was a bit too late as he reaches after the bandits left with Kazuki and Shirayuki.

The real question which rises here is who the hell is this Kazuki kid? He or that father guy he mentioned has some sort of past with Shirayuki as he wants to take Shirayuki to the place where she should be. And he knows her name which shows even more that he isn't a random kidnapper who wants to sell her off.

Things are getting very intense here. Can't wait for next week.
You need to remember this is a show for preschooler where noone ever faces consequences.
You are right his actions are pretty severe.
But he never gets punished for it in any way.
This really shows how bad the author is.

Not saying those kids would've thrown punches or anything but at the very least they could've screamed enough to let the nearby guards aware of the situation.

Though kidnappers got kidnapped.. yeah that's the kind of fate you'd see yourself getting tangled up in if you deal with Shirayuki. Red hair.... BIG YIKES.

Shirayuki is kidnapped yet again (the THIRD time this has happened), but somehow there are multiple groups of kidnappers? Given that these mountain bandits are operating in Tanbarun, we can only guess that Kazuki and his friend are kidnapping Shirayuki because they believe that she was the concubine of Raj and later Zen. And now we have pirates!

Obi got a bad hand this time around but he's my favorite of Zen's retainers. Such incredible fighting skills. The lack of guard duty around Shirayuki's room when she's the special guest of the Prince and someone who has won favor with Zen, a prince of a nation far stronger than your own, that you'd station at least a couple guards within earshot. There was no one even CLOSE to her room!

That said, Shirayuki needs to call one of those birds! They would be perfect to lead them to Shirayuki.
