I actually like this series believe it or not, doesn't five remind you of this woman  I don't even mind about the introduction of five either, clearly she has history with 9 and 12 since they were at the same facility together, my guess is the facility worked as a scoring agency for making kids geniuses, to possibly work for the likes of the FBI. In terms of the chess game, I don't play it or understand it so can't on illegal moves ext, I will say using the layout similar to a chess board isn't stupid, but it's a tad bit difficult to. Overall, I've enjoyed this series more than any other |
| This episode rocks, love every minute of it even though Lisa's part was a little rusty :D Five is a crazy person and it looks like she sees Lisa as her new plaything as well :S |
 |
| Great episode. I agree with the people saying that Five's appearance does look quite out of place in this anime which is otherwise grounded in reality with it's character designs - not by much though. It definitely isn't a detriment to the series in my eyes. Everything else about her is fine if you ask me. |
| Wow shibazaki might get into troubles now ...and lisa ... Watch yourself xD ..waiting for the next ep is gonna kill me! |
 |
| Another episode where Lisa is useless. The plot is getting pretty interesting though. |
| Holy shit, this was intense! Most of the doubts I had vanished.

kesshi said: This might sound crazy, but could it be that Shibazaki is actually Lisa's father? No. Shibazaki is 9's father. Lisa is the daughter of that politician whose "suicide" was investigated by Shibazaki. Shibazaki got separated from his family due-to the investigation => his son ended up in that Kids Center with 5 and 12. Lisa's mom partly lost her mind because of the death of her husband. 9 and 12 stole Plutonium, because they wanted their facility and the death of that politician to be investigated by Shibazaki who has a thing for Nukes. And 9 knows about it. 9 and 12 don't want any casualties or deaths. They want the police to trace them back to their past. There's tons of time in the next 4 episodes to roll out all of this with great thrilling action. Looking forward to it. |
BRK25 said: I think Nine knows. I think the whole purpose of stealing Plutonium was to lure his father to the investigation.Something doesn't add up though. Wouldn't Nine knew he was his son? Or did the police deleted it to clean up and leave no traces? All of this is but speculation of course. But the idea stroke me a couple of eps ago and this episode somehow confirmed it for me. You know, watching them meeting each other. And they actually look alike a lot. BRK25 said: Screw the nitpickers. Haters gonna hate. So just enjoy a very-well directed series ^_^I'm patiently waiting for the next four episodes and may they kick the shit of these nitpickers to oblivion. Show an amazing series wen it's all said and done. |
| That was an intense episode. |
| I couldn't help but smile when they said Sphinx#3. Good Episode. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| Wow, this is by far the best episode so far. I hope they keep it intense as this episode in the last 5 episodes, otherwise this anime is really overrated |

Show an amazing series wen it's all said and done. One thing that makes me say holy shit this makes sense is strictly what is related on how Twelve says you are putting a lot of faith in him. This amy be subtle foreshadowing. Just saying. He's not saying you are giving him a lot of credit of this detective/father. No, a lot of faith in him. The way Nine reacts shows that he's trying to make him understand what's going on made me think that they are trying hard to have him figure out the point of the Rising Peace Academy. Still, doesn't he know what his son looks like? At least? The plutonium is needed to be taken serious but still. That'd be excellent writing and going high and above to stop cliches. I'm sure the new four episodea re heading on a new arc. The first four were police VS Sphinx The 5-7 were a thorn in the side or a new challenger. Now the last four or three will be a whole new arc and the last episode as closure. Still that theory on Shibazaki and Nine though. My Reaction  |
ichigojuri said: You have to understand that Five grew up in Japan just like Nine and Twelve, so her having imperfect English makes sense and is realistic. Huh when did they say she grew up in Japan? o.o |
| There's two kinds of people you can't win an argument against: One - Too dumb to tell right from wrong. Two - Too stubborn to admit they are wrong. |
Marthgun said: yah cuz you bring ur ID with you when u do terror wow this is bad. how did that annoying bitch just walk out of their? first the power of frenship kept her from being shot. she should have died immediately. second the police detective should have arrested her. hahahaha omg i could understand looking up the girls name and matching to a police database from her face. But so lazy to show the id. how did this evil cow even pull all these strings? lazy writing is my answer. deropped from a 5 to a 4 for me. probably get dropped completely if that bitch isn't dead next episode. i fuking hoped they weren't going to ride this bullshit evil cow woman til the end. unfortunately they will and she will ride out into the sunset. she should at least get raped at the end. but they wont give it to us. the power of frenship This so much. Brutal rape of Five is the only thing that could save this show after what this bitch did to ruin it. |
BRK25 said: And she brought her ID when kidnapped by Clarence. Um, that's not lazy writing to me. Had she not been captured and still got her ID left behind, that's VERY lazy writing. The question is, why the hell ID was on her to begin with? I mean, everyone more or less understood by now that Lisa aren't smart and ID probably was in her handbag, that also means Nine and Twelve didn't prepared her or forgot to check her belongings, which is impossible for geniuses like them. Now, you can say that it was critical situation and they didn't have time for any preparations, but, I don't think it'd cost them so much time to simply tell her to get rid of any compromising stuff. |
| One of the best anime episodes that I have watched till date. Intense. Intense episode. 5 is clever as always but seems 9 is equally matched with her. We are witnessing one of the beautiful ships ever... 12 x Lisa :3. You guys remember that ost named 'nc17' right? Seems after the 7th episode, where 5 made a move by the name 'nc3', nc17 probably is related to chess.. There seems to be some meanings behind many of the osts.. for example, Von which is Hope in Icelandic. Still it remains in #106? A bit baffled. :/. Hope this anime breaks into the top 10. Hope that Zankyou no Terror supersedes and dethrones certain undeserving anime that are there in the top 10. |
BRK25 said: Screw the nitpickers. Haters gonna hate. So just enjoy a very-well directed series ^_^ It may be well directed but it really bothers me to see a little girl (with the help of the US police!) ready to kill a lot of people in an airport in order to... what? Play with Sphinx? They could have arrested them a long time ago. I really don't understand Five and her friends are trying to do. It may be explained later but it just annoys me right now. |
BRK25 said: He might not. If they were completely separated, why would he? Its like he's got no more family, as if he never even had one. Sounds really harsh actually and somewhat unrealistic because of that.Still, doesn't he know what his son looks like? At least? The real question here, I believe, is what happened to Shibazaki's wife, i.e. his son's mother. One wouldn't have been sent to the Rising Piece Academy, had he at least one doting parent, right? So either something happened to her or Nine isn't Shibazaki's son. BRK25 said: Still that theory on Shibazaki and Nine though. My Reaction LOL nah, it's still but a mere speculation. And as much as I like it, things may easily develop differently. The more interesting it is tio wait for the next episode ^^ ginko29 said: It apparently annoys many others xD So, get some patience and you'll learn the truth, sooner or later xD It may be well directed but it really bothers me to see a little girl (with the help of the US police!) ready to kill a lot of people in an airport in order to... what? Play with Sphinx? They could have arrested them a long time ago. I really don't understand Five and her friends are trying to do. It may be explained later but it just annoys me right now. In fact, it annoys me a bit too. But I see various reasons for this to happen. Some are good, some are not so good. For example, the authorities, some factions, are themselves interested in terror as it creates political pressure. Fear, as you hopefully know, is a very powerful crowds manipulator. Or may be the authorities don't want to have these guys arrested by police. The guys could've already leak all they want, of course, and not only to police, but may be there's still a reason for the authorities to have the guys dead rather than arrested. You know, avoiding publicity, court, blah blah blah. I mean, come on, they might simply be testing 5. To see what results can be achieved with that Rising Piece Academy. Or, may be, they're trying to set up the FBI and America altogether. Again factions, politics, pressure. I'm sure you can think of more valid reasons. |

| I couldnt make it through all 15 pages here but am i the only person who noticed when Five was talking her words matched mouth movements of some black guy speaking into a small mic on his shirt? He was telling her what to say. Shes not the one running things it seems. Unless that was some error. |

I think the black guy is just calling the cops who barge in a few seconds later. Five is pretty pissed he did that... even though it looks like the right thing to do in this situation. |
| ugh, her english makes me cringe... seriously. Well, gotta give it for trying though. Would be nice to actually find out what nine's and twelve's intentions are with the terror acts. Anyway awesome episode and Shibzaki the badass detective as always. |

| This is pure bullshit. * Police finds out where the bomb is, but doesn't evacuate the airport? * FBI are prepared to kill hundreds of people in a foreign country because of.. a game??? * ...and Japanese just allow them to proceed with it? * Remote-controlled planes??? |
BRK25 said: Even though they are police, if anything, the FBI has higher juridscition and would have them labeled as pranksters or do something to the point where they would receive worse punishment than losing their jobs. The government has the highest jurisdiction. Why would they allow FBI to do this for some shallow gain? BRK25 said: To pin the blame on terrorists with a death toll would grant a higher access or power to take them down. Higher power than they already seem to have? BRK25 said: No outside country would intervene if no deaths are made. It's a political topic. Think about it, or did it fly past you? But the outside country already intervened and sent FBI. BRK25 said: The Japanese government and infrastructure themselves agreed, not Japan. Once again political. Sacrificing lives for the greater good, that's what it is. I could suppose that this was in an attempt to catch Sphinx and prevent them from using the plutonium. But Sphinx had no way of knowing the bomb was real, so FBI could have placed a fake. What is the gain of using a real bomb? What greater good would the lives be sacrificed for? Only for some mystical "higher access"? BRK25 said: And one more thing, ever heard of autopilot? Or did the thought never occurred to you? A plane autopilot is an on-board system that controls regular flight and landing, not steering on the ground. Also it does not work like an R/C car as this episode suggests. |
| Engrish, my god... I'm wondering if all Asians have that big of a problem with pronunciaton 'cause this isn't the first time I'm hearing Engrish in anime. This show has been going downhill since ep. 5. It's very unfortunate, because first 4 were masterpiece but since the introduction of Five it's just no good. I thought this anime would be a realistic one but it's slowly drifting away from it. Although this episode was pretty intense. Five is incredibly annoying with her, as said before, unbelievable "cartoonishly evil" character together with absolute authority over police. If they let her be without any consequences after al of this I might as well, drop it. It's a shame that 9 didn't shoot her back then. |

But it's about the nature of the japanese language. The kind of syllabes in japanese and their pronunciation are completely different from english, so they're not used to the same phonemes we use... It's just like the opposite: most english speaking people have problems with japanese pronunciation. I've seen many people say "Colskay" instead of "Kousuke", the "ke" specially rarely sounds right. It's the same. We see that kind of thing in many languages, so it isn't anyone's fault really... it's just a matter of practice, and a lot of practice and self-correction at that. It's not easy. |

Thay may be true but I find Japanese pronunciaton very easy. Probably because I'm not a native English speaker and pronunciaton of syllabes in Slavic languages and Japanese is quite similar. Still, Japanese have way too big problems with spoken English. |

| I wonder why they took Lisa's ID but not her phone. And why is the FBI allowed to kill hundreds of Japanese people? I know it's to catch terrorist, but I'm pretty sure they've noticed that one of Sphinx's "weaknesses" is that they want to avoid killing as much innocent people as possible, if possible. |

I'M glad , that my native language is Polish. Japanese syllables sounds in Polish exactly the same like Polish ones(si = し、Ła= わ、dzu = ず ci=ち etc), so I don't have any problems with speaking Japanese. |

| This show does what it's supposed to do well. Thriller. It's fun, fast-paced, suspenseful and serious. I could care less on how underdeveloped the characters are or how many plotholes there are (I don't really want to know pls) |
| That was INTENSE! Edge-of-seat, heart-pounding... I'd arrest Five. Screw international relations. She blew up a jetliner and nearly a hanger with it. If that isn't enough to arrest someone... The one flaw with the episode was that I couldn't follow their chess game at all :( |
  |
| soo..this was 10 days ago iirc? where's episode 8? my bad if this was previously discussed or there's something obvious i'm missing. |
