| So.. am I the only one who was wondering how Five knows which chess piece Nine is moving lol. |
 |
| This episode was intense! Though I keep on cringing whenever they try to speak english, 5/5 |
 |
| Great episode oO Argh how did she get Lisa's school ID card >< I'm surprised Lisa carries it with her... |
| 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 |
| brilliant episode, the series really knows how to create tension i just hope we get a good explanation on who is working with five so she is able to plant a bomb in a plane |
| 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. |
| 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. |

Takuan_Soho said: 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. |

| Pretty intense episode with the race against time. It was interesting how they managed to trick five with the camera loop but she had her plane bomb trump card. Now she has Lisa's school ID, oh boy..... |
 |
| 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." |
| Remember guys, I AM NOT A PARAGON OF TASTE. I HAVE SHIT TASTE LIKE THE REST OF YOU. |
| I enjoyed it. Too bad there's only 4 more episodes :( |

| I like this show but it doesn't make sense to me how the terrorist who is actually ready and willing to commit genocide (Five) is backed by the police. Like, wtf? |
| Everything bout Five is just ridiculous. It's sad because I really liked the show before she appeared. |
| I was cheering so badly on Nine to shot that annoying psycho...*sigh* Can't have nice things... But yeah,intense ep. |
| Two mediocre episodes in a row, mainly because of the terrible character that is Five. God damn it Watanabe, what have you done? |
KusattaTamago said: Overall it was a gripping episode but god damn it, how are the people under Five's orders willing to do this shit? 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. |
| Dat Five Engrish though... Lisa is so damn cute, but she's literally affecting the plot direction of the series, considering Five has her ID card now >.> I have a feeling this show would've been better off without her :/ |
 |
| Awesome jazz OST in the middle of the episode. The blind chess part was alright but the latter half of the episode was much better. |
| 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. |
 |
FestinaLente said: I enjoyed it. Too bad there's only 4 more episodes :( Yup, unfortunately :/ I love "japanese-english", it's really funny. |
| As usual, another awesome episode. I'm worried for Lisa; Five needs to back up. It just hit me that there are only four episodes left, and that comes as a bit of a shock to me. I feel like there's a lot that is still unanswered--I'm still wondering where exactly the plot is going and feel like the show is still starting up. Hopefully we get some answers soon and it doesn't feel rushed! |
| What an INTENSE episode~! Cannot wait for next one Everything was great the chess, the tricks, the gun, the collaboration with Shibazaki, the plane ahh pakoko said: "You should have sacrificed your queen" -Nine to Twelve in episode 4. These words are foreshadowing the consequences Nine and Twelve must face because they now BOTH decided to make Lisa an accomplice. Five will surely make Nine and Twelve regret letting Lisa on board, but I'm not looking forward to it :( gah |
| As someone else said, one of them is probably going to die in the next episodes. |
| Okay, so Twelve definitely has a thing for Lisa... and I don't mind one bit. I ship them so hard, but I know it's not going to end well. |

| Intense episode. Glad they saved Lisa. Felt so good to see them get away from Shizaki right in front of his face.It was like a major fuck you/in your face type thing. |
| lisa so useless, 5 has so much authority that i dont even think the president even has. |
    |
| This has transcended my expectations so much. The episode itself had my basically jumping up and down because of the intensity. I feel like Lisa has finally gained a purpose in her position as accomplice. I'm still not sure if I love or hate Shibazaki, but I'm leaning toward love. Goddammit Five is a great villain. orchidork said: pakoko said: "You should have sacrificed your queen" -Nine to Twelve in episode 4.

| Pure action episode, and a very good one at that. I'm still pretty worried that none of this is really going to come together in any meaningful way thematically or in terms of writing (which has been leaving me cold recently) but the show manages to make me not care about that shit while watching since it's directed so fucking masterfully. Being the poor man's Death Note for a couple episodes has been fun, but I'd really like it if the writers could bring some of that earlier magic back for the final run of episodes. I've sort of lost hope for any earth shattering character developments -- at this point just want them to say something meaningful with these themes it's got just lying around. ALSO, ALL THAT ENGRISH, CAN YOU DIG IT? I CAN'T EVEN HANDLE IT. |

| I'm surprised they got away unharmed and uncaptured. |
 |
| That was intense! Probably the best episode in my opinion so far. I was questioning how Five knew Lisa was helping them out. But I guess she did look kind of obvious running away and all. She got her school I.D. wow, I wonder how this will end up. One of the better shows this season in my opinion, I hope it keeps delivering. |
| Wow, that episode was nice. Five is just so smart and creepy and beautiful, it's intoxicating lmao Then, what's this between Twelve and Lisa? xD I love this anime. Best of the summer, in my opinion. |
| The more it shows Five the less and less I like the show. She's so over the top ridiculous in everything. Within the next couple of episodes someone needs to put some kind of leash on her...or preferably hand cuffs... |
pakoko said: Cazzoe said: What an intense episode. I'm a little concerned of how they're going to tie up the story and have satisfactory character development with four episodes left, I hope they don't end up just rushing the ending. I agree. ZnT has so many things to take care of in just four episodes: 1) the final fight between Five and the Sphinxes 2) exploration of Rising Peace Academy and what they did. And whether it was truly necessary for Nine and Twelve to go to such lengths to expose this organization. 3) Shibasaki's past (his family background) and his development. Right now he's still just a detective that will do anything to find out the truth. There's nothing else to his character. 4) the Sphinxes' past and development. Lisa is the only one that has changed and has been developed somewhat. Nine and Twelve show that they are more human than first portrayed, but that's not enough. We also don't know much about the two's past yet, either. Yup, looking forward to seeing how this show will tie everything together... if it can. |
