| I sure missed Argo. He's another favorite character of mine. Baka Shu with his baka new attitude and all. He was never the one i liked anyway. What's up with Inori? Did she really kill Arisa??? If she really has something to do with Mana then i hope they finally reveal it at least at the end of the series. Anyway....WAS THAT GAI???????? He's baaack!!! <33333 This episode was a cliffhanger so can't wait to see what will happen next time. That psycho Shu shouldn't even dare kill Argo!! |
  |
| I don't think you can say Guilty Crown sucks because Shu has changed. He is traumatized from Hare's death and even to find out that Yahiro had lied to him. The only reason Shu stepped up and did the whole King thing was because he thought Hare was killed by a weapon not because her void was broken. Shu going crazy is just apart of the show, the same with Mana awakening or whatever within Inori, it's just apart of the whole thing, I don't like it either but hey it's going to make sense in the end, hopefully. The whole Inori and Mana thing is just one thing that was always obvious yet it still has not been explained. Inori was taken to the wedding for an obvious reason, it just still annoyingly has not been made clear who Inori exactly is and her connection to it all. But I still like it, my final opinion on the show is always at the end and I feel like there is no possible way for a happy ending. Shu's own mother is in the background of it all so there is no way a happy ending could be done. I think that Shu and Inori will just die. WHO KNOWS? Seems like a bittersweet ending type of anime. |

| Not bad episode,Shu trying to be an ass and kinda failing at it,well now it looks that its going more crazy now that he know that you can kill someone by destroying their void. Inori going yandere and hurting Arisa i think she only do something to her so shut her up and cant tell everyone about the voids. GAI IS BACK YAY!!!! i knew he was going to came back and i am happy about it the main reason i watch GC is because of him! Next episode looks like the war begins lets see how it goes. |

Hare was always my choice but now she is gone. Still sad lingering feelings of her. More so due to the different flashbacks in this episode and poor poor girl being consumed by the virus. i agree, i liked that scenery where shu admits he is a bad guy and that other people seem him as a tyrant but he has no other choice, what else can he do? also when inori was comforting him, in a way it was just like when gai was leader and he confessed his sins to inori |

Kuroiichi said: Am I really the almost only one who likes this yandere Inori? = ^ = no you are not. Finally some development to that fucking character :) |
Misuryu said: The way I see it is more of the following,I lost it when she said: "Mitsukete". The way she said it.. Holy fuck..  Bigger size that part no matter how much you look at it. That is what with your pic part made the difference in that scene being perfect to say the least of its other most well done factors. That is what I think and what did rage me in being insulting towards Inori. Simply because she was a weakling little snot of not fighting out Mana. If Inori really has a persona, make it resist Mana at least staff and directors of this series. Well I managed to do something nice of Inori in the spoiler I assume this part would be the most freak of Inori. Well got myself a avatar for me of that. For fun. |
| My God. I love Shu right now. That is what you call a tyrant. Now three things are for sure. -when a Void gets broken, the person who owns the void will be instantly affected by the Apocalypse Virus and die. -looks like the subconscious will of Mana got into Inori (Inori was used as a vessel for Mana to be revived again, that is probably why) -and Gai looks like he will come back to life. (Argh, it will ruin his epic death and character) Inori... just what the hell is wrong with you. Souta... he finally got what he deserves. and Shu... I can't help but love your sane insanity.

| It's good to see we're getting something from Inori. As for Shu, I didn't like him during the first half of the series and I'm greatful he improved, yet he does fail at being 'cool' IMO. |

Kanon might affect me. Rest not much except if the setup is good around them. I expect Arisa to be the best. |
Lolitha said: kamikaze_1996 said: HOLY SH!T, SH!T JUST GOT REAL, id give this episode a 7/5 if possible, GC is just getting better and better, shu is now an evil dictator, but still maintains his good intentions, AND INORI WHAT HAPPENED TO HER, she has finally shown her true colours, she is like mana, in love with shu and crazy He's too selfish But Mana was not crazy before she got infected :< Damn if you kill Argo i could soo punch you till you see daisys too !!! Me hate for shuu grew after this ep too double as much --i wonder where kenji and shibungi are all this time -- |
| I pretty much lost all interest in this show when I saw Gai being revived. Shu's acting like a total asshole and has lost his damn mind, and he is also trying too hard to be a badass (although it was a bit amusing to see that Funeral Parlor guy own him). Inori seems like she is turning into Mana, I guess. And it seems that Voids are the physical manifestations of a person's soul - so if it gets destroyed, that person will die. Also, the only people that are on the infected part of Tokyo are high school students. Yeah, that's believable (rolls eyes). Overall I felt that this episode could have been much more compelling if the directors had continued right after where episode 15 left off instead of skipping a few days ahead. That way they could have shown an enraged Shu enforcing the Void Ranking system, forming the "Secret Service", and even alienating his classmates. A missed opportunity there. |
 |
| Gai revived? Knew that motherf*cker wouldn't stay dead. Mana back? B*tch is a parasite. Of course she's back too. Shu? Shu's just Shu, but f*cked in the face at the moment. Figuratively speaking of course. This show . . . complete trainwreck descending deeper and deeper into the abyss. Cannot help but watch. |
     |
| Wowowowoh!!! This is taking a very dark turn! I like the way this is going. Shuu is going Lelouch, Inori is going psycho, something tells me Gai is coming back as Mana. There are a lot of Code Geass vibes, more than I can name. I do love this show. Going in this direction I can see Shuu dying in the end, I can see alot of dramatic tragedy striking many of the main cast, I can see some real mess going down!!! Can't wait, bring it on!!! |
| Personally I think things are getting...retarded rather then "real". Went from 9/10 on my score to 5/10. I still hope Shu gets his ass killed at some point (soon), hes been a total dumbass the entire series and just keeps getting more and more so. |
| This took a very dark turn. Although I liked seeing the two sides of Shu, like we did with Gai, his bit at the end made me think he's more insane than sane. Inori took a dark twist as well, although we always knew she wasn't the same as her outward appearance. Mana talking through Inori and Gai coming back, look's like the episodes to come will be interesting :D |
 |
| OMG she killed Sheryl Nome! |
| People that expected Gai to come back in 3...2...1... |
Lulexiaa said: SHU!!! STOP FUCKING PISSING ME THE FUCK OF YOU LITTLE PUSSY FAGGOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -_________________- I FUCKING HATE HIS ASS NOW!!!!!!!!!! -_________- GAI!!! FUCKING DESTORY HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -_____________- He's actually improved. Albeit he's still reconstructing himself from the last episode. It's also insinuated twice this episode he's garnered an intense self-loathing. He isn't a pussy as much as he's unstable and following a vastly flawed utilitarian mindset. He's slowly turning into a byronic hero. I've actually yet to hate him, even when he was still pathetic and running away. I just like him now that he's slowly losing his mind, forcing himself to make harsh decisions and what has been molded into him as the 'archetypical leader'. He misinterpreted what being a leader is and is using Yahiro as a clutch and support beam. I find this hatred for Shu even after he lost Hare arbitrary. He has gotten 'stronger' in some sense, but he isn't ruthless like Yahiro or Gai is. Yahiro even said it, "I'm not soft like Shu." He's wearing a kingly mask to maintain order. Because he doesn't know how others might make the situation worse, so he's trying to redeem himself by hefting that weight around. At least, that's what I've guessworked from this episode. WMG, et cetera et cetera. |
Lolitha said: Holy shit best episode ever! I still dislike shu's Hitler like attitude. I knew that Inori was yandere in disguise, looks like she absorbed Mana's evil side :D:D:D Fuckyeah Gai is baaaaaaack <3 lol hitler attitude XD, thats a nice way to put it thats the first thing that came to my mind when i heard about the secret service |
 |
| HOLY FCK!!! INORI i paused the vid after that terrifying scene >.> Gotta breath |
piperzFeb 9, 2012 5:22 PM
| I hate this show. I came in expecting Shu to mature like Simon did in Gurren Lagann and then for it to get awesome and exciting, but it just kept letting me down. The opening made me get hype again cause I thought the new opening was kinda showing Shu was gonna become a really cool guy who wore Gai's coat, but he's not. WHY...? The only thing I can look forward to is Shu becoming a cool guy in the last 2 or 3 episodes, but I am going to dread the next couple of episodes. ;_; |
| IaMP with me. |
| I have to admit that this episode was not as intense as I thought it was going to be. It had more explanations than action. But now I can comfirm that what I thought was right: the reason Hare crystallized was because her void was broken. I also now know why people still faint when their voids are extracted, it's because as long as shu is the one hold/using it they are unconscious. Furthermore, it seems that it's actually Yahiro who is incharge and Shu is just a figure head. So now, from what I understand, Shu has now gone from super serious to just plain crazy, and Inori is a psycho killer. Oh... And Gai is back. P.S.: I actually thought that Shu would be more cruel and heartless than he was in this episode, maybe next time. |
Silverfang18Feb 9, 2012 5:28 PM
| Quick thoughts: Shu acted like he was more dead then alive. We can definitely see shades of Gai in his behavior. But Gai had years of experience and a solid support team. Shu doesn't. Yahiro is lieing to him about important stuff. And Inori... Well Inori isn't herself and next to Shu, supporting, influencing him. Still, he wants to help, to save as many people as he can. Go Ayase. She slapped Shu. He needed it. I still think that she is the only one that can reach Shu, get him back on the right track, since Hare died. As for Argo. Yeah, he did beat Shu, but he's a trained fighter, Shu's not. He still sees the Shu of the past, hasn't had the chance see how he changed, has grown in the past weeks. Still Shu was able to shut him up with the simple question. What would you do in my place? Argo's the outsider, he doesn't know what has happened, what they needed to do to survive. It's easy to nit-pick when the burden isn't on your shoulders. In some ways, Argo was acting like Shu did when he first fell with Funeral Parlour. Inori, in episode 14, when she Beat up/Killed those students. I wondered if, or how the events of episode 12 had effected, changed her. It appears that she's becoming Mana, or more percisely, 'The Queen'. Mana being Shu's loving Older sister. 'The Queen' is the Virus created/transfered Personality, the one set upon mating with Shu, at the time a 7 year old boy. Still, this is not the Inori from before episode 12. She's different and the scary part is that she next to Shu, supporting him, influencing him. Yahiro, I don't know what to make of him. Is he on Shu's side, but giving him bad advice, which he believes to be right? Or is he trying to hurt Shu, because of what happened to his Brother? Or is he in league with Kiedo & Segai, pushing Shu towards their ultimate goal? Or is he under the Queen's/Inori's influence/control? What is Keido's plan, his Goal? Is he still trying to become Adam to Inori/Mana's Eve? Why is Haruka helping him? And what did she mean when she said this was what Kurosu, Shu's Father, wanted? Things are heating up. There's an Armada in the Pacific, heading towards Japan. Perhaps to stop Keido? Or maybe something else. I expect to see the third Leukocyte to come into play. And let's not forget, Gai's back. Is he a clone? Or did they revive his body? If so, How did they get their hands on his Body? What do you think? |

I had the feeling that the armada might be there to destroy Tokyo and that I understand where Shu is coming from when asked those questions to Argo and at least it showed that he still had a caring bone in his body, but now his totally lost it. I'm not sure how they got Gai's body, if it is his real body, but I think the question is weather this Gai is bad or not (obviously he's most likely bad)? All the questions you came up with will most likely be answered in the last few episodes. |

However, it took time for Simon to step up and become a leader. Even then, Simon's leadership style wasn't nessecarily the best for most situations. Kicking Butt, Yes. In time of Peace, not so much. Shu isn't getting the time he needs to get his head on straight, which is what Simon had after Kamina's Death. Shu has the potential to become a leader, a great leader even. But this won't happen with all the garbage he's being subjected to. Keido and Company are pushing Shu towards someting and we can be certain that whatever, that is, it's not going to be a good thing for Shu and Company. |

Orange light cut through the blackness. "Call me . . . the Guarding Dark. Imagine how strong I must be." |
| This episode, I think, finally won me over. I like how instead of a complete personality change, shu still has a pretty weak character. He acts tough now, and isn't as hesitant as before, but he still doesn't seem to be emotionally strong... Oh man I cant explain this right at all. On another note: Not impressed with Gui. Just, Why? |
| Lol at Shu and his own personal gestapo. That was quite hilarious. He's unfortunately still a weak shit that's letting other people tell him what to do. Now he's just on the verge on going insane. As for Inori, I'm just going to assume that the more exposure she gets to Shu's self destruction, the more Mana slowly bubbles up the surface. Lol at Gai being revived. What an ass pull that was. |
 |
| GC just keeps getting better and better (interpret that as sarcasm or seriousness). Shu is totally evil right now, and Inori has turned to the dark side as well. I never liked Yahiro; Shu totally should have known by now he is not to be trusted. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
goblinmitzu said: It could if they can infuse the same Genome Shu has into his duplicate Clone. Although I don't see how that would work since the clone might not have good memories since the transfer of that can be tricky.OT: iirc there are three "Power of Kings" users. Shu, Yuu and the last one is? Gai? Can't be... haha Anyway the other alternative is the rematerialization but guess what? Mana is also coming back in this case. Mana/Gai were holding each other right before he dies so that is why I think so. So Gai yes can have Shu's powers but Mana will be back. |
| Another good episode...Shu's change and Inori's insane side, definitively make the the show better. But fuck it! Gai! Stay fucking dead! Hate it when they pull this crap. |
| WELP. THEY PULLED A SUNRISE. |
| "Evidently... There's no such thing as 'meaning' in this world. But that in itself is wonderful... isn't it? Since if there isn't a set meaning, then you can just find one on your own." - Filicia Heideman, So Ra No Wo To |
| Pretty good episode. Shu became a tyrant(Tricked thinking Hare was killed by a new weapon) and unfortunately now even if he wants to he can't turn back on his decision. We do see however that this "badass" attitude is somewhat an act. It seems in order for him to advance he has to act hard and dense but we do seem some bits and pieces of his old self every now and then. Inori has a change of personallity as well..(Murders the girl and her attitude seems to have changed) Then of course we have the revival of Gai.. I have a feeling he has fell to the dark side if they were the ones that revived him and Shu's mother feels as though she won't forgive him. Got to wait another week now! The revival of Gai is sketchy.. It depends how they'll play this out but this could go poorly.. A show either pulls off a revival of a character and it makes it 1000 times more epic or it just makes the show retarded. Got to wait and see how this one will play out. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| WELP. THEY PULLED A SUNRISE. Totally man, Sunrise all the way. Code Geass R2 writer wants to feel young again by pulling a Sunrise like the good old days, |
Reaper71Feb 9, 2012 7:19 PM
And what if all love is an act of bravery? Could you look me in the eye and say that you are not afraid?  |
| I have to say I was hoping Shu would be a badass but, this episode he was just a jackass I get that his intentions were good but, the way he went about doing them were wrong and, what will happen to to ayase and the others when gai is back are they going to betray Shu when they know he was dead |
