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.

It's not psychic.. but the fear an amateur has.

An amateur terrorist who bows in apology to people she bumps into? She looked more like a girl running towards a gate (or train) or after someone than a terrorist, no matter how much an amateur.

That aside, what I disliked like more was the big "THIS IS FORESHADOWING, THIS IS FORESHADOWING" the scene was meant to broadcast. It is similar to the "clues" becoming increasingly obvious.

That part I agree.. the hell can NOONE have an issue with monitors being hijacked?? You're in a frikkin airport!


Not to mention that 5 is supposed to be some genius hacker (at least she out did 9), so to have her fall for such a predictable ploy further confirms that the writer is running out of ideas.

I am not here to troll, I have been relatively positive up until this point, but when a show exhausts my "benefit of the doubt" line, I turn a but surly. It was pushed last week, but I wanted to see if this week showed improvement, unfortunately it didn't.

Skudoops: agree on the "own lets blow up Haneda and blame the terrorist" absurdity (though of course they are blaming that on the FBI in keeping with the stupid meme that the US is always itching to take over Japan). It's just dumb.

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?

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??

Wow, that was INTENSE...

Overall, I really enjoyed the episode. The series is still going strong for me.

However, some plot holes are rather apparet in this episode.

Like what's been already mentioned, Five seems to be able to do absolutely anythig she wants. I find it very annoyig to believe that a foreign agency can just take over Japan's Police and defence,and even have the authority to blow up an airport... of course, it made for a great episode, but it's a bit too fantastic of a set up xp

I also don't understand her reasoning behind making nine and twelve play that game. It seems so pointless and once agn makes me wonder why the Japanese govt and FBI ppl even bother to humour her childish whims...

I mean, what would be the conclusion she wanted?? Let nine solve the riddle, then blow the whole airport up n kill them?

I also dont get how the game works... how did nine indicate his moves? O.O...

Meh, this episode was really nice to watch, but the inconaistencies irked me a bit, since most of the previous episodes were pretty realistic (imo)... actually, things started getig a bit annoying when five showed up xp...
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

They have some cool discussion.

And can you guys stop with the bloody ENRGISH!!!

Sheesh, the Voice Actor is Japanese while everyone else is native. You're killing me, you act like this show was suppose to be handled by the qest. I already said it, flip it where English native speakers spoke in Japanese, Japanese people would riot and say it was pathetic. Give it a rest.

Lisa was way too conspicuous, but then again she's only an amateur terrorist.

Am wondering how Nine got Shibazaki's number.

Remember episode four when they were looking at Shibazaki's file from the police Department?

There you go.

Also, I highly bout they'd put Shibazaki as Lisa's father. I mean, the police would record everything and past history so when they see it, they'd say get out. They don't want any part of her. However, they kept her. I think she's the guy who committed suicide and the case that brought the detective to archives.

Another great episode. There were some little drawbacks (like Shibazaki being able to go through specops so easily or that noone stopped them at the airport while they were running) but I enjoyed it all along. It was itense, and satisfying to watch.

I am starting to think that Lisa doesn't want to catched them, what she wants is to kick their ass and she leaves them to lead her to plutonium.

Sphinx 1 conversation with Shibazaki was the first step, I wonder what the next one will be.

And now Lisa will become their weakness for Five to use.

Best episode yet, and I was starting to lose faith in this anime.
I still don't get why five has authority over the police, and why Shibazaki couldn't arrest her there for a mass murder attempt.

Die Hard 2 episode. Pretty intense stuff though, I liked this episode. Shibazaki is a cool character, I really hope he doesn't get a shitty resolution to focus on the brats.

The engrish at the beginning was mind blowing. I wish they'd just stuck to japanese, with the FBI detachment being some sort of interpreter squad who were capable of speaking japanese.

Lisa finally does something <3 (besides burn food! :D)

Damn, I need Lisa and Twelve to kiss or something... It's been a long time since I've shipped a pair this hard :/

Too bad they kind of glanced over the whole chess thing, though. Of course, explaining everything in detail would have taken away from the tension, but now all the moves and terminology just flew over my head.

Still don't like Five, but I do like her VA (if only they didn't give her that many English lines...). And we're already on episode 7, only four more to go.

i sense the reason Five did the things she did was Political reasons and not morality reasons. Like, getting orders by high ranking officials to do as needed to win. No matter the costs and limit the chance of death.

The first half with the chess was really dull but after that it built up excellently all the way to the end.

Since there hasn't really been enough material to make me actually feel for Lisa, I was with Nine on just letting her blow up but it was really cute to see Twelve care for her.
Getting too close was probably a bad idea, since like Five said, another weakness.
Damn it, I love and hate her at the same time

Damn the intensity, music, and atmosphere, all crunched up into a great episode. Yeah five is freaking crazy by putting the bomb and exploding it near the airport. Shibazaki working with Nine gave me two thumps up for their cooperation, despite him getting trouble in the latter probably.

It was pretty obvious that Lisa was panicking in those camera's and she was spotted easily. Well at least she did okay and got saved afterwards, but still I don't if she is still useful for Nine and Twelve.

F*ck man Five got her ID, my god it is going to bad in the next 4 episodes.

She knows because she can see which part of the airport he moves to after receiving her move. Remember how the airport was divided into the squares of a chessboard on the monitor that Nine and Twelve first saw at the beginning of this episode (and the ending of the last)? That showed which parts corresponded with the different areas of the airport.

i know chess, but i didn't get their game, the checkmate place is the bomb place ? they could checkmate her at many different places, or like she will lose on purpose when she is at a specific place or something.. i don't get it. well unless she was going to move the plane to where she lost ? ah still don't get it.
also i don't get how lisa's role was, a small distraction ?

Amazing Episode. So intense and I like how fast paced it was even though it was a mind game. It didn't have people explaining their plan for half the episode, everything just unfolded.

Humm, I have to say that I really do not like where this seems to be heading towards. It would have been nice if Lisa hadn't "just happened" to attract 5's attention. It would have been better if the story didn't waste a couple of episodes showing how "noble" our brave heroes really are. And it would have been far far better if they hadn't used the old "tape delay" gambit where 9 "tricks" 5. These and a couple of other things point towards the ending I have been dreading, the "happy one".

Its not to say that I dislike "happy endings", but in the context of how this show began it would be extremely disappointing.

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.


Im inclined to agree. Given where this show started and how little its made of its premise and cast and now the introduction of a seemingly unnecessary extra antagonist that just feels unnecessary this could very well end up being the disappointment of the season to me along with Akame Ga Kill.

Maybe it has something to do with the show having like 4 different writers or something.

Intense episode but i'm not sure about 5 character. I think the dynamic we had before was perfect, just leave 9/12 as the "villains," and use it as a way to explore motivations of antagonists and the things that drive people to extremes. I love a series where it's hard to hate the "bad guys."
But now we have this lady with a big neon sign over her head that says "HATE ME PLZ."

MAH GAWD. Thought my heart was gonna break seeing Twelve's face when Nine made it clear that Lisa's gonna die. Seems like he couldn't keep that promise about not getting involved with anyone..

I'm going all fan-girl-mode about this show, can't believe it'll be over within a month.

Buuut, still think that the show would be better off without Five, I hate sadistic villains that are aware of how evil they are.

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

Totally agree about that part lets blow up plane and kill hundreds of people for fun. I really doubt that blue bitch will get arrested or something like that even her plan was clearly exposed because anime antagonist don't go away that lame. And how the hell they even played chess. All what 5 was doing "to play the moves" was running around the airport like an idiot. Its a good watch and I really hope this show wont blow up of the proportion in ridiculous way.

intense episode, but I'm growing skeptical on the anime as a whole. what will happen in just four more episodes??? Will it find an end within that time-frame, or will it be a cliff-hanger awaiting a sequel??? Prob will have a sequel imo, or at least I hope so since it's damn good.

So it's been decided, Lisa is going to be Sphinx's downfall. She's gonna get one of the 2 killed.

Very good episode. I'm starting to get worried though, there's still so many unanswered questions and there's only 5 eps left... eh.
