Ah, I'm glad Nine managed to get out of that mess but those poor people. Some of that wreckage reminds me of the London Bombings during 05.

It looks like they are playing against Five now since Nine figured it out it's her. Nine sees his operation like a chess game so I like the way he's playing it smart and slow. Pretty interesting episode overall with the little mind games and the security camera. Let the game begin D:

Five is so fucking amazing.

Another great episode. It seems like Five and the other guy are in the FBI, and looking for the the bomb that Nine and Twelve stole. Now I'm really confused on what Nine dreams are about. I think Five is smarter than both Nine and Twelve. The whole airport is a chess board!? How would that work? Also Shibazaki and his team doing things in there own. Also Dat English. Plus Lisa is part on the plan too. There is just too much going on for one episode.

5/5. I can't wait to see how this goes down.

Good catch. Also, Five was singing "London bridge is falling down" shortly after they recapped the bomb.

She is one sadistic fuck...

Amazing stuff :3 First "To be continued" ep til now ^^

Really liking Five as the antagonist. She's BA! and one crazy bitch XD That was quite the reaction when she saw Nine's face :3

Lisa's clumsiness is for some reason adorable <3 I wonder if she'll play an important role in this?

Shibakazi and the police ready to put their job on the line in the garage was lol and BA at the same time hehe.

Let's see how this goes. I really have no idea where it's going from here :O

Uwaaaa!!!

That's so creepy complicated. But honestly, using every single monitor in the airport?
And what's the guarantee she wont blow it up anyway when they're there? Hmm... then again, she's one for games.

As expected, Lisa is their trump card.
I so wonder what Shibazaki's move will be though now. Or if they'll be caught in the blast.

That engrish was so bad omg lol. I like how his description photo looks like eren from AoT, kinda funny. Five is a really awful character though, the whole insane evil genius thing is a bit ridiculous for what this show has been going for so far.

Additionalyl I didn't understand was what was the point in playing this "game". Why not just go and capture them? Also who the hell would allow the US government to blow up one of their airports? That is dumb on so many levels and not to mention would cause huge international uproar if the information leaked. I'm also surprised that no one even questioned the fact that the message for the bomb was delivered in an utterly non characteristic fashion i.e via text rather than a video with the two of them like it was before.

At least lisa is finally being used for something, took a while but she's finally going to have some relevance in all of this.

I think I had an eargasm+eyegasm during that awesome airport sequence.

Now I wonder how Shibazaki will join that chess game of theirs.
Maybe he will try to stop Five directly from her area of operation.

Doubt there's any other way for him to figure out the location of the bomb.
Five is really awesome though, despite her ruthlessness.

Great ep. Five is one freaky lady. Doing all of this to continue the game they never finish long ago? Well it looks like Sphinx are walking into a trap. I'm curious on how they plan using Lisa to get out of this one.

In this episode we get a glimpse of Nine, Twelve, and Five's secret skills.
1) Twelve has synesthesia that can see color in sounds. How that will come into play, we'll see. I'm guessing he can sense when someone's lying or not by looking at the colors of their voice?
2) Nine seems to have the ability to visualize clear mental images when he visualized the chessboard in his head. Inb4 chess players say that anyone can do that as long as they played the game long enough.
3) Five, well, let's just say she has the ability to "read minds" with her crazy sense of logic. Otherwise she wouldn't have chosen a game like chess where it's all about predicting the opponent's move and she wouldn't have been able to predict Nine and Twelve's intentions with the bombings when no one else could.

Whatever experiments were performed, they were to enhance the human psyche or senses it seems like. We'll found out soon enough for what reason these kids were trained and experimented for from such a young age.

Overall, a very intense episode. You can always count on Shibasaki to find out that something's not right.

Speaking of which, a while back someone pointed out the chess reference and how Lisa is a metaphor for being the "queen." Zankyou no Terror's attention to detail astounds me each episode. Can't wait to see the chess game played out with the main characters being metaphors for the chess pieces.

Not sure why but I don't like the new character 'five' too much and even though I loved almost every aspect of this episode whenever she appears I simply get annoyed. My hope is that she will get defeated quickly and never appear again but it looks like it will not be the case.

Oh, well it probably can't be helped that this anime is not perfect in every aspect. Maybe there will be some revelation that will make me think differently about 'five' but I don't see it coming in the least.

Anyway, can't wait for the game of chess that will happen in next episode.

I'm really curious what Five's reasons for wanting to continue her game with Nine and Twelve are. If she doesn't have any humanistic features to her personality, then I would consider her as a lunatic. And a lunatic character that doesn't have the background explaining how he/she became a lunatic would degrade this awesome series. So, I expect for Five's reasons to continue her games with Nine and Twelve to be explained in future episodes.

How did you not understand? The episode specifically tells you that the "game" was a smart move and a brilliant trap by Five to expose Nine and Twelve. If Nine and Twelve don't do anything about the theoretical bomb, they'll become infamous as the terrorists whose only aim is to kill people. At the same time, if they try to make a video of themselves saying that it's "not them" that sent the text, most likely the public won't believe it. So their only option is to go and defuse the bomb before thousands of people die, because Nine and Twelve's intention with the bombings were to send a message and not to increase unnecessary casualties.

As for letting the US government bomb one of their airports, the US government can make a stronger case for doing so in order to prevent further terrorist attacks. The Japanese police force, as Five mocks, have no evidence or even the slightest trace of Nine and Twelve, so they don't have much say in this matter because they literally can't do shit. Five, on the other hand, embarrasses the Japanese police force by not only identifying the terrorists but garnering enough evidence to find out how to stop them. Five has found a way to 1) enjoy her game, 2) but also save Japan from further terrorist attacks. Five also never mentioned if there really was a bomb or not, so we're not sure if there even will be an airport bombing.

Why not just arrest them? Because this "game" is probably Five's best move to catch Nine and Twelve, simple as that. If it was so simple to arrest Nine and Twelve they already would have been caught.

Loved the episode and for once pissed at a cliffhanger, left me high and dry.

And I'm getting real sick and tired of people saying what's the plot of this show. Like I said for the past episodes, this is a Watanabe production, he's leaving it for the last few episodes like all his shows he either made or directed. You people can't just enjoy what's going on and uses a nitpick to ruin the wholesomeness of the show. Not everything is perfect. And too much perfect becomes a failure. Like NGNL.

Anyways, I'm astounded by the fact Five would go lengths to bomb and ruin everything. However, in American fashion, I think she doesn't give two shits and could be said about America. We'll solve the problems...take quite the time to do it or assist in the collateral damage. A reflection of the country perhaps? American can also be seen as playing games all the time and never take things seriously. OR 9/11, where afterwards, the chances of terrorists attacks ended swiftly and worked hard to end the attack on their homeland and not help others in the same point.

Oh, and how does the police know it's America who's placing the bomb? Only the grand higher ups know and they aren't working in the force. I believe of this to be a crooked organization and once interference of another country comes in, their powers are minimized and in the hands of someone else helping.

I'm praying this is a two part episode and keep going. Don't want the rest of the show taking place in this airport or we gonna have a problem. Two episodes please, maybe three if this is a tricky situation. But we're heading to the seventh episode very fast and need something of a resolution soon.

caesar cipher ! glad to see one of the things I'm studying appear in anime XD

at first the police were in Nine and Twelve's hands. but now they're completely in Five's. I'm starting to hate Five even more now even though she's really interesting (but a bit psycho) lol...

can't wait to see how the games will be played. and hopefully they'll find the bomb and diffuse it before it blows.

Lisa is finally getting involved too. At the moment she's not doing much, but since she has been referred to as the queen, pretty much the most powerful piece on the chessboard, she must be important. I look forward to seeing her role in this.

Shibazaki feels like the message isn't from Sphinx, and no one really cares. I would kind of be skeptical too because the previous messages, Sphinx has always used the video announcements and not through text messages.

I'm still gonna say the whole atmosphere and the art was gorgeous. No game No Life has nothing no this in a realistic world. All it had was vibrant colors, nothing else.

This is on a higher degree, the flock of feathers rising up and away from Twelve on the Laundry was beautiful.

I like the chess reference cause I think Nine and Twleve can be seen rooks and bishops. Maybe even the castle.

But the Qeen, the one with the power is Lisa cause they aren't looking for her and be the key to screwing up the plan of Five, or even nine and Twelve.

Speaking of Lisa, I LOVED the backbone she showed. She wished to feel useful and not be someone in the way. At first she was scared but now isn't going to take no for an answer. Doing much more work than some anime bitch who is told no and looks defeated. She can handle herself. I'm loving it. Now we must wait a week,

I'm pretty sure you know already, but remember when Nine was like "You should have sacrificed your queen" while playing chess with Twelve? I hope Nine and Twelve don't literally sacrifice their queen to outwit Five, but just "use" her smartly. If they literally sacrifice her... damn Imma need a moment... Hopefully that won't happen, right?

AMERICA FUCK YEAH! .. that Engrish was absolutely terrible though; you'd think that, for a show like this, they could have at least cast some decent English speakers. I get that Five might not be fluent (although she is in the FBI) but the others are Americans. Also, when she was singing Five's English was much better.

Speaking of Five, she's definitely crazy... but good crazy. Those eyes when she saw Nine's face.

I'm really want to watch the next episode. Lisa finally gets to do something. I'm hoping she'll turn out to be a natural :-P. She really showed some guts this episode so I'm exciting to see where this is going.

5. wow. you get some major points for being so crafty here. Setting up the perfect lose-lose situation for 9 & 12. And 5's hair style.... reminds me of another anime character but I cant put my finger on it...
omggg a chess game in an airport that they have to keep track of entirely in their head... "to be continued" NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! this shouldve been a 1hr special.
Well I guess the point assignment for this bomb is still pending for the next episode...

I think there could be some kind of connection. People said that Nine looks like Lisa and Lisa looks like Five. And it seems that way, Twelve doesn't really go against Nine. Perhaps at last we will be able to separate Twelve and Nine, because now it seems almost nothing is different: they same the same past, the same goal, work together...

Perhaps sacrificing the queen means Lisa will get stuck in a rut of some sort, Nine and Twelve ought to let her face the consequences of it, but go out of their way (sacrifice themselves) to save her.

She doesn't care more about him, I'd say she cares about both of them equally. She just wants to be able to have a good relationship with the both of them. That's why shes jealous of twelve, because he's able to have a good relationship with someone that is pretty cold. She want's to be able to live there knowing that the both of them are ok with it but as long as Nine disapproves of her living there she will always feel like she could be abandoned/killed at any time.

I agree. Actually, rather than Nine and Twelve sacrificing themselves, I'd also like to think that Shibasaki will sacrifice himself first (if he really is her father) to save Lisa. Can't wait to see what actually happens.
