The whole point of the bird was that it disappeared in the footage, meaning the part where the explosion occurred was fake.

It was funny to see Liang Qi lose it in this ep, she didn't know what to do. But Alphard was harsh the her. I wanna know what would have happened if Liang Qi would have shot her in the back of the head with one of those rubber bullets.X)

Best episode so far. Crazy and intense. Can't believe Alphard's real name is Canaan too.

Awesome.


I thought they mentioned this in an earlier episode, or at least hinted at it


They did? Haha, I must not have gotten the hint. Bleh.

But really, there isn't even a need for a "bye" is there now? Since well, someone who's dropping something, there probably wouldn't be any reason left to keep watching a thread, rendering a respons to someone who's not there anymore quite useless...
Oh well, I'll keep with the trend, bye : D

well i dunno about other people.. and i know this is Japanese anime, and there has to be some main/sub-main "bad-guy" but what is with making Americans look like idiots and not checking in person/over A TELEPHONE from an eye witness if Maria's dad was really killed in the car bombing. This, I'm sorry to say makes no sense to me other than an easy out solution for a twist in the story.

and please, as if any govt wouldn't check up on it's video feeds. just makes, if anything in this case America, look like a bunch of preemptive overlooking fools. (/thanks japanime)>

This episode is best episode even I’ve seen for a while. I loved how Canaan goes matrix style and her 1337 hax synesthesia, which was epic, and I doubt Canaan has lost her synesthesia. Alphard is more badass and cold blooded, and I am little surprised that Alphard’s real name is Canaan. Overall, I am very impressed with this intense, exciting episode.

Alexstratz said:

Again Alphard demonstrates how great of a terrorist she is. She actually made World War III happen. I mean the USA just stealth bombed China... With or without Canann's hacking the result would've been the same.



This. I can't believe nobody else in this thread pointed this out. It seems like everybody was too busy enjoying Liang Qi's and Alphard's abuse of Maria to notice anything else in the story. Indeed, Alphard is a brilliant terrorist. Nonetheless, I think they depicted the Americans as too stupid and warmongering. I mean, Americans would never send their own military onto foreign soil without thinking about the consequences... oh wait...

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

I thought I saw a similar scene before but forgot which serie is it from, someone with his or her brand new memory card can HALP me out ?



It remindes me of Casshern's eyes, a bit.

I loved this episodes intense emotions. I think I also start to get the metaphoric side of the plot, though I want post my observations beacouse im sill not sure about some things. But there certainly is a sort of metaphisical fight going on in that series.

This episode once again proves when the show is focusing on the espionage and beef between Canaan and Alphard it's solid stuff. Maria is the weakest link by far. But she eats up the most screen time

Pretty intense with the whole incoming bomber. And I was pretty sure they were making fun of Bush's administration with knock off versions of Condelezza, Cheney and Powell :P Though the bombing thing didn't seem too out there but it doesn't make sense for them to kill ALL of the world leaders that were attending at least in such a manner that they couldn't write it off as the terrorists' doing.

The HORE SHIT was damn hilarious

I'm curious about Canaan's handler and Mr.Karaoke former spy guy. They both have that whole MYSTERIOUS PAST angle going on. And what's up with Hakko dropping the glass when she heard Iron Strife? Is that another terrorist group? The one that started it all or something?

Canaan using her powers like that was straight out of Kara no Kyoukai. Now that I think about it she looks like a brown version of Shiki. Her losing her powers was kinda predictable though. Though I thought they would've addressed it sooner but I guess it's more DRAMATIC as an end episode thing. Considering how things have been gonig it'll probably come back due to the power of LOVE or some bs.

HIGH TENSION indeed!

Yes! Another person who doesn't like Liang Qi? Whoo I felt so alone all this time. XD

The taxi driver continues to be a favourite. I, too, am wondering what happened to Canaan's eyes... Did the strain - of doing whatever she did to make the bomb miss - mess up her eyesight as a result and take away her ability to see colours/auras/whatever? Hmmm...

Still love crazy taxi man, but I almost had to stop watching this series on account of how horribly unrealistic it's gotten. The US sending a bomber? Yeah...right. It's not like the US has troops stationed all around the world and that they wouldn't share information with the local government whom they are not on bad terms with before making a decision to incite another world war. No, of course not. Or that they just admitted they don't know how the virus is spread all the time, so blowing it up and potentially making it airborne, based on how resistant it is, obviously makes perfect sense. Or that the building could, oh, I don't know, be easily surrounded by local authorities so no one could go in or out without their notice, hence the virus could easily be contained.

It doesn't bug me that they're depicting the US as evil and self-serving (although the explanation for how capitalism really works obviously shows that whoever wrote this doesn't understand economics or US history at all), it's that the moves they make are so far outside reality that it's like looking at a five-year-old trying to explain how cars work. Sad. Very. I mean, the easy plot fix here for the bomber would be to show that maybe Mr. Vice President is really corrupt and evil and just looking for a reason to ax the president in order to take his power. That makes sense, and I'd have no issue with evil Vice President. Simple, logical, plot fix that actually works really, really well since they then move on to show him corruptly making deals with terrorists. Or heck! Just make all of the US government super conniving, that works, too. Maybe they have been waiting to take out China for some reason. But I guess whoever wrote this really must have a beef with the US and capitalism (their warped view of it, that is), so obviously the only "logical" solution is blowing crap up. Uh huh. Cuz that's totally how a government would respond in this situation.

The more I watch this show, the more it keeps asking me to just accept completely illogical scenarios (people never see Cannon fighting in the early episodes because they simply don't want to, even when it happens right in front of them. Or people are so stupid they can't tell when someone is screaming in pain). If they portrayed this show in a surreal, dystopian reality, okay, sure. I'd buy all the logical inconsistencies. But they don't. They act like this is taking place in our world in a completely realistic setting. Yes, the virus and powers are a stretch, but everything else is supposed to be "realistic," but everyone acts so unrealistically that it's really starting to grate on my nerves.

So in short, no, I did not like this episode. The taxi driver and way awesome attention to detail with the different languages isn't enough to overshadow the ludicrous character actions. I'm really hoping they get back away from that nonsense and have a reasonable reason for all the secrecy surrounding the virus.

Wow, even the guys in the White House spoke Japanese.... the details of the recent episodes just get crappier and crappier!

I wish Alphard had cut Maria's goddamn tongue out; her constant "Canaan! Canaan! Canaan" are grating on my very last nerve. She's just too moe to live, it's disgusting.

And I've read a lot of comments stating that they love Liang Qi which I really don't get. I mean, she's an obsessive bitch with a love for incest, and she's ugly to boot (gosh, why can't the artist draw short hair that actually looks good?). I really don't see the allure, sorry.

Great action and tension, except the idea of someone pretty much using her "hacks" synesthesia to stop it in the last few seconds.

Oh no, Liang Qi's gas blowback pistol ran out of bbs, I guess she ran away to go buy some more.

To be honest, I'm not extremely happy that everything turned out perfectly, recalling when Alphard said it could go one of two ways, or possibly both. I don't mean to demean anything, but at some point in the series there should be some loss or great impact.

Ok, I came here hoping to see someone explain what happened with the missile, hoping I missed something. I guess I didn't, and Canaan magically wormed her way into the missile to move it. That makes so little sense it's insulting. It practically ruins the entire episode.
I mean, these eye powers are only supposed to enhance/merge senses. That should by no means give her the ability to control a god damn missile with her mind.
What a disappointment. The episode was going so well, too...

Also, at the moment Liang Qi is the weakest link of the show, not Maria. Maria has some depth. Liang Qi doesn't. She's obsessive over her sister, and that's it. That's her character. The love I'm seeing for her along with the hate I'm seeing for Maria is kind of sickening.

I don't really see why people love Liang so much. She's a crazy bitch, aaand that's about it. But whatever. I don't hate her or anything personally, but I also don't love her. Several other characters are much more interesting.

Alphard may have intended to start WW III, but not sure if it works out. The US used a stealth bomber for a reason, and the fact that it was not shot down shows that it more or less worked. Depending on whats left of the bomb, there shouldn't be all that much that traces back to the US.

China would have to be damn sure that it was them to start a war. Relationships nearly frozen solid? Sure. But a war, who knows.

They also talked about how the Chinese government was not a monolith, this might imply that some there would want to bomb the conference center, too. They could be "grateful" that the US did it (after all, nobody wants to be responsible for something like that. And the Chinese bombing the US president? Thats even worse than the US bombing some "random" Chinese soil, unless the Chinese premier was still in there, too) and, while probably investigating, keep any results undisclosed for future use when they *do* want a war).

Beisdes that, really nice episode.

just wtf did i just watch ?! holywood movies ? that was god damn hype and intense. tbh i'm speechless for what i just watched. especially @ the scene where canaan stop the bomb barely before it hit the impact point. 50 meters before the impact point ? that was god damn cool. i really like that.

kay! just gonna be honest here, this is one of the best episode i have seen so far.
and still, it didn't change the fact that all of the person including the presidents got infected by the virus....i wonder how they will handle it. and if i'm not wrong, that old guy who was always holding a case and fake his death, he was holding the antitode right ? i don't know seriously, sht just is getting real imo xD

i can't wait to watch the next episode.
