----------------------------------------
Riru finally showed up wit her minions so it's more enemies for Blade and his companions^^ It's pretty funny to see how Eve treat Momiji's wound, no different from just leaving it alone :D But i guess this is why the series is so good, it can have humor even when the situation is dangerous^^

It's good to see Arclight again, his battle with Blade is expected^^ Since Saten was involved in the Adam Project, I'm not sure will he end up betraying Arclight but we'll just have to see :D

And Yet Another Damn Good Episode

I kinda seen this coming... Good episode but the thing about Saten always seemed obvious to me.

His body structure and hair colour is the same as Blade/Arclight and the betrayal thing was also kinda obvious given Saten's personality and how Arclight claims he is "God" etc...

I'm guessing now that Black Spot isn't what people expect. They say the second showed up after the explosion of which then they tried to create clones. I think now that it's possible the explosion that made Black Spot was caused by the research on the Adam project... It could be possible since it was gene + tech research. The explosion could have caused the fragments(Which, could be a gene remap or something) to appear inside people, we've never had an explanation of what they are and how they came about that actually made sense. I mean, why would the Second or whatever show up as the only one after the whole nuke thing? Then others later? It doesn't seem all that likely.. I've probably missed something along the line that dis-proves all of this but I thought I'd share my thoughts...

Still, great episode. Though I'd say the last episode had a better climax for some reason. Maybe because the fight with Aruka didn't hit a climax in the first 10 minutes...

e-epic *cough* EPIC!

Too bad Aruka is out of the picture. I had serious laughs at the elevator scene, Eve "healing" and the girl squad concert. Next ep looks like more flashback :/

Oh I forgot about something:
Adam Blade said:
Determination and prayer can't influence the rate of miracles occurring. Things like "Anger leads to victory" and "wanting to win after your comrades' deaths". These miracles don't exist at all!

As for me, I don't need those miracles at all!
In your face typical shounen!

well i am not saying you are wrong but didn't they mention in a previous episode that the black spot occurred because some one dropped a bomb? and something along the lines of them not knowing who it was or what country?

how i thought of it was that some one dropped a bomb( quite likely japan) and it was an experimental bomb that caused the people to mutate and have fragments.
this doesn't explain about the "second" but my guess is he was in the middle of the explosion and survived, so he was exposed the most, equating him to gain all the fragments, then the rest of the people within the explosion range started to gain fragments later.

another this that seems the case is that the second isn't around anymore, i am guessing his body couldn't handle the change,which might be the reason that the Adam project happened they tried to duplicated the dead "second" powers and well obviously something went wrong

well i am done >.> and quite likely will be wrong :P

But then again. Now that arclight used his move we know that he doesn't really need those huge metal things on his arms for anything. wtf?

No that's not possible. Since he wouldn't look cool without them. Things like coolness must take priority here.

5/5 Needless to say :)

Have anyone noticed, that in the scene when Arclight explains about his Fragment, in the background showing all Needless that he met, there is a Jedi ? At the upper-right of the scene, floating (?) in mid-air.

That was a curious ending. I wonder what's gonna happen next. I bet its gonna be a flash back. Also I bet Saten was a result from Adam project as well.

Finally leaving that room was legitimately the most significant event of this episode, lol.

Blade's headbutt is more effective than you think. No one expects the basics.
