Liang Qi - The confessing sadist

I loved the scene with Cummings, he just acted so...manly. Love is a great thing, isn't it? Poor Liang had to retreat so quickly though.

Now what is Canaan's true power, is there something more to her eyes? What kind of connection did Alphard have to Sian?

"Talk" "Talk" "Talk" "Talk" "Talk" "Talk"-------> Boring, prepared to 1/5 the ep

B-U-T !!! is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it grandma panties-wearing Superman-iac ? NO! It's GODDESS Liang Qi in all of her glory!!!! I saw, and I... am...Cummings !!!!

"Because, because of love!" I seriously ROFL but alas, my happiness didnt last long as she soon was shot down by her GDODAMN sister who now turn Yandere over some flies' matter. Gotta Kudos Cummings for being the loyal capitalism pig he was supposed to be though xD

Now, I suppose I gotta cheer for Canaan to kick Alphard's ass... HARD now, she pissesd me off so bad in this ep, GRRRRRRR... start chewing popcorn and dreaming to do this to Alphard in my dream:



If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!!

This episode is beyond awesome +\\\\\\+

Yea, the talk was pretty boring, but they do carry important information. Still don't know the whole story about Hakko though.

*hugs Yunyun XD

Gotta love Lian Qi for her obsessive sadistic self... LOVE! She actually reminds me of Ladd Russo from Baccano P:
Cummings, expectedly, loyal to her but I was sort of surprised Alphard didn't kill him...then again Alphard is inexplicable (that's why she's my favorite XD)

That confrontation at the end have me on the edge of my seat... what does Siam and Alphard's color mean?! Alphard may be the most badass female villain +w+ (hail Sakamoto Maaya-san!) Of course I still can't wait for the look on her face when Canaan actually DOES best her D:

i just can't believe how much they exploited those BB guns here.. and LOVE!.. good thing Cummings and Liang Qi are both still alive..

and does anybody know what light brown color means?

"I'm scared.. She's going to pull my tongue out.. Slowly and slowly, she's going to cut my neck open.. Then she'll stick her hands in my wound and stir my insides!" .. Liang Qi said some disturbingly amazing words here.. and Rie Tanaka acting great in it..

Seriously, both Liang Qi and Cummings are batshit crazy : D
Also, Canaan's been too regular without being able to see colors, so I'm glad her colors seem to be about to return. Oh, yeah, in the preview of next episode, it seems her colors have returned : D Hurray
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

I'm still not exactly sure whats going on but I liked the episode. They should at least explain why did the CIA use the UV-virus on the villagers. It gives them special powers sure but is that the only reason? Their motives seem so unreal.

Too much dialogue in this episode, the rythm was very slow and the developments were not the best either. However, CANAAN remains one of the top series of the current season, and I'm eager to know how it will end.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Alphard is cruel, but sensibly so. She thought about three steps ahead when it came to Cummings:

1. She knew he'd want to kill her, and so replaced his gun.
2. She knew she'd have to shoot him, and so turned her gun on him.
3. She knew she wouldn't want him dead, and so replaced her own gun with BB gun.

I mean seriously, it's just like she wanted to see him get pissed and prove himself.

If you look at Alphard's actions, she is really just a cat playing with the mice that are her dinner. Why hasn't she killed Canaan yet when she KNOWS Canaan will be a hindrance and also when she knows that Canaan is easy prey.

She just likes seeing people squirm.

I like that.

Great ep. Loved the helicopter battle, even if it was a bit short. Great plot development too.

Nice to see Canaan's "powers" returning, though like everyone, I'm eager to see what Alphard's connections to both Siam and Canaan are. I'm thinking Alphard used to be Siam's "apprentice" before Canaan, but they still haven't shown us why Alphard killed him (though simple jealousy, like everyone's been saying, could be a safe bet).

And Liang Qi is just... crazy. I mean, there have been some insane characters in anime, but she's on a whole different level o.O

lol at Yun Yun and Maria engaging in yuri s&m cat fight.

LOL at Alphard and Liang Qi engaging in ridiculous helicopter cat fight. xD Btw, how did Liang get herself a chopper?

I loved the BB gun scene, makes you wonder if these terrorists know the difference between a real charged gun and a BB charged imitation. ^^ Though I'm not surprised Alphard wasn't stupid enough to actually shoot someone in a helicopter using real bullets, especially while aiming at someone in front of all the flight board electronics.

Canaan is probably part of that experience described countless times but more precisely here. She's probably the fruit of all that effort, the perfect soldier, a successful and unique specimen.

We're getting more background, but we still don't know what Alphard is trying to do, and we don't know what happened to get her creating the snakes and working with the US. It's just such a bad way of presenting the story that it stalls progress and feels made up out of nowhere. Oh yeah, and we still don't know about Maria or Cannan's significance. Both of them seem to have a bit of amnesia.

And I really wish Liang Qi and Cummings had died...

B b b bbbb- Blasphemy! Burn the unbeliever!!

This ep's title should have been 'High Tension Rising'. Everyone's high stakes were put on the table and they each have a lot to lose... which should allow for a very dramatic (even tragic?) conclusion. Puppetmaster Alphard remains a mystery and I'm continually more excited too see what Her Plan is.

And if Liang Qi gets anymore psycho I don't think I'll be able to rationally contain my glee!

definitely superb the bb-gun scene with Alphard and Cummings!


what, however, was predictable enough was having the guy who destroyed the village so many years ago having been in the CIA (an independent American agency, go figure Japanime). I get that <someone> has to be blamed.. but seriously.. US after US ridicul[e]/ousness is so.. Japanese. lol

all in all, still a great ep and i look forward to those to come.

Psychopaths are always fun to watch. I got to say, the BB scene was my favorite part of the show. I was like "oh shit, not Cummings!!" XD This character really grew on me you know. Hope he doesn't die at the end, and Canaan needs some kicking ass to do.

Liang Qi's helicopter assault was great, along with all the parts involved with it. And I enjoyed Yun Yun's little comedy performance at the beginning of the episode. Still, an appearance by Epic Taxi Driver would have been appreciated.

Yup, lots of costumers in a desert for Taxi drivers. Some even pay double.

But you're right, it would have been awesome if Taxi driver was driving them around! He'd be singing all the way and i can imagine him going in High tension mode when Liang Qi attacked.

Hakko said don't kill him and then his head explodes XD

Haha@ Alphard wanted to kill her sister and the the air gun scene with Cummings.
the male characters are so dumb in this show.

Liang Qi's overacting in the helicoptet made me laugh a lot, too bad Alphard used the wrong ammo for attacking her sister's heli.
