| Wow what great episode, the story about the past of Nine, Twelve and Five was explained, while this a game of life, death and betrayal was developed, damn Five and mountings therefor, but Twelve was a bastard who betrayed all the work with Nine for several years Nine is now alone and with the pump, what will he do? This anime is already one of the best of the year .. |
  |
| Oh shit, that ferris wheel scene was so good, with that intense OST and amazing directing. Makes me wish we get more stylish shows like this in all the genres (I'd like to see a serious romance anime with this budget and style) I'm gonna miss this show when it ends. |
| Mesmerizing episode, can't believe it passed by so fast! It was done at a nice pace, with awesome directing. Great episode. Kind of sad to see this anime ending in two episodes. |
 |
| I think what is more predictable is Twelve disarming all the bombs, rejecting Five's offer, running away with Lisa by jumping and escape safely. That will be so shounen and badass. I found it very interesting to see how viewers is divided because of Lisa. Some said she is useless (worthless?) and some say "give her a break she is human, she makes mistakes etc." And IMO Lisa is a very realistic example of insecure girl in our world, I do hope you won't say those girls/humans are useless as well. |

| I do understand why Twelve betrayed Nine though. Good thing Nine was on time to take the 'bomb' away. Five looks like she has some more drugs on her. She's pretty desperate to capture at least Nine. I wonder what is she trying to prove? I hope Nine would understand Twelve when they meet. Lisa again being the center of trouble. Shibazaki now know about the Athena project. Pretty soon, he'll discover that it's Sphinx. |
JD2411 said: this created a huge plothole No, no, no. They said that they ESCAPED 8 years ago. That doesn't mean they were abducted 8 years ago. We don't know how long they were at The Settlement before they escaped. |
| That traitor son of a bitch... |
| That was a tense episode. And I learned a bit about basic C4 bomb disarming. As long as I have an Xacto knife and wire cutters. |
 |
| I'm just about to watch this episode, and so I updated my list and it reads 'episode 9 of 11.' This episode aired on 9/11; not to mention the numbers assigned to Sphinx are 9 and 12. In tokyo it was 9/12 during the collapse of the twin towers. Great finesse with the execution of this series. I can't read this thread until I finish the episode but I'll check back later. Sorry if this has already been mentioned. |

| The bomb disarming/ferris wheel scene was lovely. The atmosphere, use of the OST, direction, etc. Just a beautifully directed scene, even if it was somewhat predictable. It could have been much weightier than it was if we had more of a reason to care about these characters and more of a complex dynamic between them, but, anyway, I still appreciated the scene. The big reveal of the characters' past was like…whoop de doo, no big surprise, though. Why keep that hidden the whole show? I don’t get it, it was easy enough to piece together as it was. And Hamura’s response was so, so cliché. Feels like the show is trying to be like Monster, but it’s pretty hard to compete with Monster, especially in 11 episodes… It’s so frustrating that the show’s writing and characters have been so lackluster, because the show sure has its moments. There’s the occasional very evocative and well-executed scene. It just doesn’t thread them together in an entirely coherent way. The series composition has seemed off to me pretty much from the beginning. The show is excellent from a technical standpoint, but the writing and characters have been mishandled IMHO. |
lisa is insert number(other then 5,9,12)? After "recognising" young lisa, I tried google. http://zankyou-no-terror.wikia.com/wiki/Lisa_Mishima Possible spoiler |
| So much feels in this episode. I really, really love this anime. |
My favourite color is blue. |

| Just as i was getting really into the story :( cant wait for next episode |
 |
| I really liked how they put this episode together. Seeing 12 disarming Lisa's bombs in a heartfelt caring scene was really nice. Really shows the strength of anime when done right. |
| Such junk... |
| Maybe some people has noticed but I think the pic quality is slightly dropped? I rewatched ZnT and as episodes going on it loses its realistic style bit by bit. |

| I COULD TELL IT Was a confession but like the romance is this- I FEEL LIKE THEY JUST PUT IT IN RANDOMLY-AND Like everything's going too quickly like glasslip but it was a good episode-But still not satisfied-WHY'S MY EXPECTATION SO HIGH?! /sobs in corner I think I shall re-watch this-I couldnt feel the emotions but this is an interesting anime-something that's new and never came across before-GREAT EPISODE-AND I was actually speehless when 12 betrayed 9 but I really hope 9 will escape and then etc. Cant wait for next episode x) and also whenever i see them in the facility I SEE LISA AND NOT 9 like "IS THAT LISA" Or am i imaging things like what- so I also searched up Lisa and 三(meaning 3) was inserted in her name like 9 known as 九重 新 (Kokonoe Shin) AND THERE'S 9 INSERTED IN IT SAME AS 12 I THINK but only "2" is inserted in his name but like dsjkLFjklk-from the very begining I actually noticed lisa in the facility together with 12 and 5 but i couldn't find 9 so I assumed that girly like face was 9-but I BET ITS lisa-Okay forgetit- |

| good episode for once. actually really liked it |
ssshake said: THE MUSIC WAS PURE MAGIC. It made the ferris wheel scene. The tension, the play of lights, the fear and the emotional fizzle between the characters all melded into perfection. But. that. freaking. music. It was beautiful. When it comes down to it, Lisa has quiet strength. She's timid and she likely wouldn't stand up for HERSELF, but I don't doubt that she'll stand up for her friends and whoever's dear to her. Fully agreed. |
| Not buying the theory that Lisa was in the facility. I wouldn't be surprised if she was but she is nothing like a savant. Ah and the reason for Nine's ears ringing and flashbacks, besides PTSD, means he might be sick real soon. Five is definitely crashing. |
Chiyousagi said: lisa is insert number(other then 5,9,12)? After "recognising" young lisa, I tried google. http://zankyou-no-terror.wikia.com/wiki/Lisa_Mishima Possible spoiler really good! Yes she was also sphinx number three! And yes I think really that is Lisa. Perhaps if we put the numbers together: 9/12/3 or more like 9/12/2003 or something like that can refer to something?? |
They even said in the episode that only 1 survived and 2 escaped. Unless she somehow faked her death or escape using some sort of Deus ex Machina powers I don't think she'd be one of the children in the plan. |

Unless she somehow faked her death or escape using some sort of Deus ex Machina powers I don't think she'd be one of the children in the plan. But Lisa as the son of the man who made the whole project!!! that is reason enough to show that it would be possible for him to save his own child. They only picked orphans as part of the plan, and do you really think that anyone would put their own daughter into a institute where they were given numbers for names? |

NikeSawakoKobato said: OMG!!! the bomb in locker D12?!! D12 like in a chess game??? Anyone knows what that could mean?? What? first of all the chessboard is 8x8, and even if D12 means D1->D2 that would mean one of the queens would be moving over a pawn. Doesn't mean anything as far as I'm concerned. |
| Wow. Just WOW. Amazing episode. Five cornered Twelve badly. So that's what that facility was. Quite interesting. The word that they may not live long made me wonder. What were these headaches Five had and that losing consciousness I now wonder if we'll have a sad ending here. Nine and Twelve die. Lisa gets shocked gets left all alone, her mother will come and take her home so she'll continue her miserable life. Quite the bad ending IMO. |
| A Story will always come to it's end. The thing is, will you move on after it's over? |
Chiyousagi said: I really really hope you're right. It would be quite brilliant. I don't really like Lisa yet but I kinda appreciated the moment Twelve x Lisa, and if your theory is right their love story would sound even more legit. Anyway, 2 episodes left, I really have no idea what to expect. Something is sure though, all the kids as guinea pigs have very less to live so we're gonna see some deaths in the Finale. |

| wow intense fucking episode WOW man makes me a little sad since I think they have a terminal illness D: |

Orulyon said: Guys, Lisa's purpose was not to become a badass terrorist or even, to help the guys. Her purpose was to HUMANIZE Nine and Twelve. She was the only person they ever trusted in all those years they spent alone hiding and ploting. Twelve fell in love with her and that was beautiful IMO. If I was dying and had a best friend and a revenge/goal I would surely try everything to make it come true, but in the process if I fell in love with someone wouldnt that give more meaning to my life? to be able to love someone when you spent years in confinement being abused in experiments psychologically and physically which can take all your humanity away and make you cold and numb...for Twelve to have someone ordinary and random like Lisa was everything to him. All children crave for love, attachment, it is a scientific fact. He realtionship with her started with guilt because he could feel her pain and empathize with the fact that she wished to be free just like he wished when he was in the instituition. But then clearly he fell for her, she made him laugh...a genuine laugh not his clearly fake laugh at first episodes which he displayed to everyone. He felt the need to protect her because that is what you do when you care about someone. Surely it was the hardest choice of his life, but if he didnt choose they would both have died and the point is, even if he "does not have time" and is about to die, he WANTS HER TO LIVE. He knows that he and Nine are going to die anyway but he can save the life of the girl he loves. Love is blind guys. He loves her even if she does not know hoe to make bombs or cook. He loves her flaws, her tears, her smile, her aura color, her EVERYTHING. Do not judge someone who is in love. You all saw how hard it was for him to betray Nine, how emotionally destroyed he got after doing it. So she was useful guys. Surely if they havent met her they have their plan completed with no problems and no emotional conflict at all. But then they would not have learned to trust anyone. They would never had the experience of living with an ordinary person every day. Also arent we all forgetting Lisa's attitude this ep? people hate her so much that fail to view her emotional strenght in this ep. She was ready to die alone. She wanted him to escape and GO TO NINE. Her resolution had no hesitation. She was really, really STRONG in her own way in this episode:) awesome , someone finally said what I was thinking~ lisa making twelve to experience the feeling of love was far enough useful, those kids needed love too , they're humans not alien-gods-robots or whatever, they have human feelings and instincts. |
