----------------------------------------
Another great episode, so they finally found out Saten's weakness but it certainly didn't help much^^ Cruz's sister(Aruka) is a pretty tough opponent to handle as expected :) and to be able to do what she did with Seto's weapon is considered pretty strong already :D

It's good that we get to see her face, but Cruz and the others might hesitate to fight her knowing who she is now 0.0

Really liked this episode when you know about the "real" Aruka.
She is not a good girl who take the wrong path...
No... She is already a bad girl.

wow...she is pretty bad. Poor cruz.

I wonder what's on the data chip? The strongest Four's/Siemon's weak points maybe? Or something else special?

Saten & Aruka have some pretty good abilities...they'll be hard to beat. Guess it's down to a 2v2 now. My money is on the priest ;).

I've been wondering....is the Doctor ever going to be useful? LoL. So far all there is to him is that he use to work for Siemon on something important if I remember right?
And even though Disc is some super-computer Cruz seems more helpful than she is most of the time.
*Not that I dislike any of em...just throwing that out there*.

What a hardhearted sister but she is very hot, though. Actually, I already knew about her when I watched episode nine due to her hair. I want to know why that she betrays his own brother, and I wonder if Blade will kill her. She has an interesting fragment, and it seems to be more powerful.

Once again, Seto, Solva and Teruyama feel the heat (literally), to the extent that it probably killed them.

We already knew that Aruka was a fire user, but that her Fragment was this powerful I never imagined.

But I wonder though, if Cruz is her brother, why did he join the Resistance and she Simeon? I'm tempted to think that this isn't the real Aruka, but a clone, with the memories from the real Aruka pretty much intact. Various clues throughout the show (such as Saten holding a vial with blood in episode 3 and his comment about Kurumi's DNA) appear to point in that direction. I guess time will tell if I'm right...

despite that, this ep is quite decent (pls, dont ask why saten n aruka didnt atk when yamada explain saten's fragment)

Sadly I went to wiki and found what has his fragment is.

Plus "What a twist!"

I'd like to congratulate most of you for passing Thermodynamics 101 last week. I'm glad her microwave/resonance fragment was revealed quickly and not dragged to next ep. That one looks like a flashback. And no, they will never leave shelter 3.

So we get nice, long, thorough explanation of satens fragment, the "omg plottwist!!", see everyone "die" for the bazillionth time, quick explanation of arukas fragment, omgwtfpwnage from aruka, and she has been evil since the beginning of time.

This is just awesome XD

next ep seems to be a flashback to resistance days, will be nice I'm sure to see the entire resistance get owned by simeon once again. Looking forward to it.
Pantyshots are a different matter entirely

Teruyama, Seto and Solva are the definition of cannon fodder. Eve is gonna have to "heal pls thx" them again.

Many changes on the OP and ED... The "jagdment" typo was corrected and some animation was improved as well.

I still cringe when everyone just chills while someone does heavy exposition xD I get this is an artifact of the manga; it's what would prolly happen if the last arc of HxH was adapted to anime, with it's thousand narration and monologue boxes getting in the way of the pacing of the action.

All in all good episode, wonder why Saten said "you still won't able to use it" (paraphrase), too bad we won't see much of that next episode. Whatever, the OST rocks and so does the action. Can't wait to see the explanation of Aruka's deception.

Thou it is still the mystery of "Even if you know, you can't use it" phrase, Saten's fragment would be perfect to fight against Aruka.

Lol at Needless playing with the laws of thermodynamics.

Cruz must have one heck of a sister complex to turn from the genius of the group to a total looser in mere seconds after seeing Aruka.

Lol...I wished Seto and Solva uses their power to full potential (i.e. strong gravitational field can bend space and time, strong electromagnetic field can ionize air and create plasma) These abilities should be stronger than molecular vibrations.....

Getting better and better.

Blade vs. Aruka. Shits about to get real. Either we get it the second half next ep or the ep after. I still wonder how they will beat Saten.

Also on another note: When will we get Trap Yamada?

Yamada(Trap Cruz) is 3rd Arc. But that would only be in case anime go past 26 series, as of now 2nd arc is still in the middle.

Well this episode was great as always. Pretty much all I expect from this awesome show.

I'm thinking Yamadas sister can't possibly be that mean. Unless it's just bad storywriting, I don't see how she can be that evil. Maybe some kind of black-attraction-like mind control or clone theory as suggested earlier. Will keep watching obviously...

Lol, I knew it. The fourth strongest is Cruz's sister, but hell, she's mad strong, lmao. Everyone got beaten up so fast. I was expecting Cruz to go super saiyan and beat the shit out of them, but I guess it won't happen. :(

GOOD EPISODE NONETHELESS. Oh, I got my theory wrong. Saten's power is heat absorption. :(
Oh, and that Data chip surprised me. Didn't know Aruka is really evil, lol.

so they all stood around while Cruz explained Saten's powers? why?

Teruyama is rather useless again. Seto and Solva aren't very useful now either.
