I think it's kinda obvious who that guy under hood is...

So basically, we get the idol for a harem now. I think the list is complete now for all type of girls. That song sucks though imo. And welp, that quickly escalated with the whole parallel gimmick again.

Nanami showing a new side of herself by being a fan of Serican.
So that happened when Souta was just about to do his thing.
Megumu with that heart flag and dance flag.
The song sounds a little too cute for it to be good. Seeing all those lights, rising and falling.
That went surprisingly sci-fi. All those worlds and data! The world "freezing" o.o, didn't see that coming.
Nanami is the only one to remember :O, rise and fall of hope? Decent episode, but seems to lack a little comedy!

It was an good episode.

A new character named Serika Ginyuuin appeared at school for the school festival to sing.

Serika's song was alright.

Looked like the girls started to forgot Souta except Nanami.

I thought that idol girl was going to be a part of his harem. So Nanami remembers Souta while the rest don't. Can't wait to see how this is going to play out.

Good ep. I wasn't expecting the world was pretty much VR though. Well with only two eps left I'm curious on how this will all wrap up now.

So new idol character appears, and again Souta saved her from being sad. Another girl to the harem I suppose.

What the hell is up with this virtual reality world that Souta sees. Yup and the cliffhanger scene is craving me to see the next episode.

Wait what just happened?! Where did this Matrix plot twist come from? Don't get the wrong idea. I love seeing crazy plot twists as much as the next guy and loved that the show did something like this but man was this left field. Atleast this keeps the show feeling interesting and unique and not just another haram rom com.

God, Serika is beautiful, loving her since the preview of last week. Now that's what I call an idol. Another girl in Hatate's harem (and the last one?)

There is such a thing as dance partner flag? Whoa.

Such abilities. Much mind-reading.

I think, this episode was awesome.

Souta can now literally fuck everything in the world huh. Unlike other shows, when this transitions from happy to serious, it doesn't feel off.

Anyway, the song was kinda meh. I'd rather listen to the OP lol.

How many times have I seen this plot twist :P "Heh? Who's Souta?" <_<
Well still waiting for some kind of explanation to why Nanami is the only one he can't see the flags off and now she's the only one who knows him.

And who the hell was the Nanami of this ep? She was 180 different XD

Lol'd so much at how Serican reacted to Souta's harem XD "How many friggin girls do u have by the nose" XD Well, u'r also one :P

And ofc Souta was the one who cheered her up in the past <_< He wanted to end his life then XD

Serican comes into the harem.

Nanami fangirling over Serican XD

Serican and Nanami become like bff's or something

It was WAY too easy to figure out who the 'Purple Flagman' was imo.

Goes all sci-fi mode with the 'freezing' and how Number Zero sez there's like millions of worlds out there. That was a big suprise for me.

Souta leaves that world to save it, and everyone but Nanami forgets Souta. Pretty Cliche imo.

Overall, it was a great episode I liked, can't wait for the next one though.

Not gonna lie, I'm getting the same vibe right now as well. Why can't he see Nanami's flags? This has got to be the biggest plot point of them all. Not to mention what happened to his sister after she escaped... So many unanswered questions..

Not gonna lie though, this show is something else and I mean that in a good way

I thought most if this episode was absolutely useless and the last part showed some development, the first part was mainly about another adaption to the harem and an annoying one at that.
I have to say that this anime has been going downhill rapidly the last couple of episodes.

I was thinking the same, either the girl is Nanami or someone closely related to Nanami.
And the sister also remains a mystery.

The Disappearance of Hatate Souta

Back when I was reading Spring season anime list the synopsis of this show had so much promise and yet what I got was an anime filled with as many highschool harem anime tropes as possible with a minute or two of something interesting... Well two more episodes left

Wow they actually were able to pull of a cliffhanger and implemented VR (which isnt even out of place) this is almost a fantastic achievement.

I mean it is nothing compared to really good VR anime like Zegapain, but still, pretty good to have a plot with twists in a harem.

I guess we can have Kanojo ga Flagg SS and Kanojo ga Flag SS Plus.

So the show went from flags to data, worlds. I thought it would be some cheesy comedy based on the anime picture shown.

Well that was an unexpected ending. I guess when Nanami got that sudden shock like "what was that", Akane probably forgot who Souta is. Most likely Souta did it on purpose so that Akane, Nanami and the others wouldn't wonder where he went and feel sad that he left. I mean his powers have fully developed.

Maybe the reason why Nanami remembers Souta has something to do with the fact that he can't see her flags?

Well...that was weird.

So many questions raised with no answers.

We still don't know the who or whereabouts of his supposed sister.

We don't know who the Nanami lookalike is under the mask.

That door under Quest hall has basically become the basement of Attack on Titan...completely forgotten.

So this weird group basically made the matrix then? Does that mean that the people in Souta's "world" even exist? Or are they just bits of simulated data? Is there even a "real world" that exists in the show? Is Souta's flag power supernatural or just a computer program?

Why can Nanami remember Souta after he makes himself disappear? And why was she talking to Ruri about it in the preview?

Only 2 episodes left with no guarantee of a season 2. Let's hope this ends on a good note.

Wow.. So is no one actually a real living person? Is there a real world of some sort, even if it's not like the modern earth we know? If there is then what's the point of creating all these virtual worlds? They mentioned something like "time was moving faster than the real world" or something like that.

LOL MATRIX.

The plot twist was cliche and it's not shocking to ever see the line "Who's ____" but I think what really got us was the fact that the whole series was pretty underwhelming in terms of plot and so they decided to slap us with the matrix.

Masked girl in my opinion will be Nanami or something related to her..

Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara vs Black Bullet harem.. oh wait..

Souta is The One, with some dimension travelling sprinkled on.
Having said that, I think it actually makes it more interesting, instead of becoming just another harem anime. Now, having said THAT, I don't think they got the balls to really twist it up so I predict everyone reuniting one way or another in the last two episodes, quite possibly Ruri finding her first.

Maybe she was the MC in that world and got sent here.

I finally came to accept that this show wasn't going to pull Little Busters on me, and it did!
Curse my heart and my spoiler sense!

Thank god Nanami grabbed the main character flag when he left.
Still, it sucks that everything we ever knew was a lie.

Looks like (almost) everyone assume that everyone except Nanami forgets about Souta. So I'd like to present my view on this.
@ episode 9 just before 1:00 "...at the first barrier, the knight, magician, cleric, and ninja lost their lives." These are from the fairy tale.
@ episode 2 from 20:00 "The mage (magician) is difficult. It's best to topple her first. The knight is the cornerstone of defense... Use the bishop (cleric) to lure her out, and the ninja to stab her from behind." These are Sakura's instructions to beat the game. (I didn't notice how dark, and creepy these instructions are until my re-watching)
Ok so the connection is that Souta already "topple'd" Akane-the-magician (lol this sounds bad but whatever). Next he'd lure Nanami-the-knight out to "stab" her from behind using Ruri-the-ninja. etc...
As for why Souta'd be doing this? To beat the world? idk. But I like my view better than the cliche that only Nanami remembers Souta.

So Serican is an idol and the bard huh... welcome to the harem I guess...

Hooded Souta helped bring her back on the idol track and work harder.

Souta wanted to commit suicide... poor guy...

They all look really great in those dresses... even Megumu I guess...

Lol, virtual world, a network and all that shit, things have gotten serious.

As long as Souta is in that virtual world it will crash next time it seems... damn...

Aha, everyone except Nanami forgot about Souta, I wonder just how did she manage that lol.

Wait, wait. Did the show got suddenly mixed the Matrix with some Steins;Gate movie? Wut? Well, that was reaaally unexpected.

But it make some things clearer. First about Nanami and Ruri. Ruri knew oddly a lot about the other worlds and the prophecy. Yet she never have a flag (yeah, I know, she's a robot, but still...). Nanami is also the only one who remember him (well, I guess) and she also never have flags. Does that mean that unlike the others, she wasn't created as a virtual ''pnj''? Who is she in reality? She's so damn mysterious, even more that she look a lot like No.Zero, yet, she had a flag on her head. Err, maybe I shouldn't try to figure it out too much, it's hurting my brain xD
