Welp, so Ruko still has some trouble in this game at what's happening to her and others.

But seriously though, Aki is a psycho in this series. I'm expecting a big fight coming soon.

So the white girl and the black girl were initially the same person... o.O This is interesting, considering Iona is (appears to be) part of the 'normal' world while Tama appears to be part of something else, remember the opening prologue scene from S1?

The ending was damn interesting. Frikn Akira has gone completely insane and Ulith is playing an interesting role. Still not a fan of Choyori though, although she was a bit better this ep.

Big Batoru next ep! Tanoshimine!

Indeed the two being the same person is interesting!

I never thought the the LRIG by becoming human also suffers depending on the wish of her Selector.

I feel bad for Akira... being in like a parasitic relationship with Ulith and to be used like that and even became more psycho for the goal. Never thought she would kidnap Hitoe like that.

Ruko having to battle Ulith to save Hitoe.

Mayu staring at Iona like that and laughing too... also how she said that the girl of white is loved by all yet the girl of dark is hated by all.

Looks like even when LRIGs replace their Selectors, they also suffer to a certain extent. In Futase's case, she's forgetting her own identity by taking over Fumio's wish. Poor her..

Them Yuri tendencies this episode.. Aki-lovely even went for a kiss, but Ulith is a such a tease.
I actually don't feel bad for her at all. She decided to become Ulith's pawn on her on will.

The way Mayu was tormenting Iona for being "Kuro no Shoujo," actually made herself seem like she's the bad one here.

Aki-lovely-crazy-bitch confronts Hitoe and as feared, she takes her hostage. Nice cliffhanger with Ulith joining the party at the end.

Good episode. Hopefully, Ruko will destroy both Ulith and Aki-lovely and have a chat with Mayu sometime later.

"You're of black and you hate white things"
"Longing for white..and being next to white..." (Mayu stops in front of the window zoomed in on Ruko)
"...will just..."
"...make the pain worse".

Huh? How should one interpret that?
I mean, this series has had a thing for subtleties from the beginning, so..

idk the line that was more concerning was "The Girl in Black and The Girl in White use to be a single girl". So why did the split and how. More questions on the nature of the eternal girl as well.

So things are set into motion.
From the looks of it things seem to suggest that Tama is the white girl but the way Mayu spoke it looks like Ruko might be the next white girl.
So she is supposed to be the counter part of Iona or at least that's suggested.

The question is what will happen to them now that Ulith is making her move.

Oh so whether a selector wins or loses she is damned and The LRIG themselves who become human were still damned.

Geeez, is Hitoe that much of a pussy to not even use her bag to whack Akira?

Why didn't Ruko called the cops?

Woot! Fights every episode from now on, there's plenty of despair to go around.

I'm kinda glad Akira has become a fully fledged psycho. Other than Mayu I really like the "villains" of this show.

What if the Black Girl is not a person, but a role.
The previous Black Girl is Ulith, but now Iona took over the position and she still don't get the job description sorted down.


BTW, this would be off topic, but wouldn't the design of the card diminish on its own ?
For example:
- Iona win and Ulith took over Iona's form.
- Ulith's card design perish. New card has Iona's design.
- Iona (Ulith) re-join selector battle with Tama.
- Iona win and Tama took over Iona's form.
- Tama's card design perish. New card has Iona's design (with Ulith inside).

If someone wins continuously, then eventually all the card will look like a single person. Or at least each colour deck's LRIG will look the same.

It shouldn't be that hard to figure out why Ruko did not do that. For starters, it probably didn't come to Ruko's mind because she was in shock and panic from what was just revealed to her, and just wanted to get over there as fast as possible (you can't blame her for that).

From the same body? Could that maybe allude to the how LRIG's came about? I had the thought after last episode, but the two 'girls' could have split from Mayu(possibly as a result of her turning 'gray') and become the the Girl of White and Black. I like nseika's theory that it's more of a role that passes from one LRIG to the next. because that could support this thought. If this was the case, I think it's safe to say Tama has been in the role of Girl of White since the beginning. Big question is how were more LRIG's born? We still need a lot of info lol.

Anyway, they are bringing it with the atmosphere. Fumio's case did a splendid job of fleshing out the Eternal Girl's process and how they are 'willed' to fulfill their selector's wish. And the fact it's no less a curse than having your wish tainted or becoming an LRIG is just...zero sum game. At least there's hope with Iona seemingly knowing something, I mean her development is much more than 'hinted at' at this point(not to say it hasn't been done really well).

Good intro before the OP

some funny, silly, incoherent scenarios
Somehow Ruko and Hitoe think that LRIG get (common) colds and fevers.
Somehow Hitoe decides to stay standing looking down at Akira crunched on the ground.
Somehow Hitoe gets tied up in a chair by Akira, who are roughly the same size and build.
Somehow she gets knocked out from having that chair turned over.

Wow, that was really intense. Akira is losing it and Ulith is being really creepy. And then there's Mayu, talking about the "girl in black". Geez

But you know, thinking about it...I guess I never thought about how living someone else's wish could be like a curse...I guess it really is a lose lose situation even after the whole swapping thing happens.

Also, I keep thinking how funny it would be if they lost their LRIGs. Like, when Akira was like: "Where's Iona???!", wouldn't it be funny if Ruko was like: "She's right he-(*fishes in her pocket*) Iona? Iona?! Oh no! She must have fallen out of my pocket!" or something like: "Where's Yuzuki??? Did she fall in the garbage or something??? NOOO YUZUKI!!!" I dunno, might just be me :P

Excellent episode. Fumio genuinely misses her old LRIG, and it was a little sad to see Chiyo all scared. Lots of good Ruuko and Iona moments, I'm glad they are finally opening up to each other a bit more. I think Iona is slowly changing, she just doesn't realize it. Akira is beyond insane, pretty sure what she did Hitoe is illegal. I hope Ruuko crushes Akira and Ulith soon.

Took me a lot of thinking to get what you meant cause of the way you worded it.

But we've never seen an LRIG turned into a human that then turns into an LRIG again yet. So can't be sure the LRIG would take on the face of the human. Maybe the "original" LRIG face gets used.

In any case, the subsequent selectors inside Iona's body would have to keep becoming LRIGs without selectors possessing an Iona-faced card becoming LRIGs (otherwise the Iona cards will become the face of the selector and the new card will take on the selector's face).

I think I understand what mayu said "The girl of white had a very beautiful, good hearted. On the other hand, the girl of black had a very unsightly, evil heart. The girl of black envied and hated the ever happy and smiling girl of white and thought of erasing her very existence...... Truth is the two girls were originally from one girl". Just like her, she have tama and Ulith with her.Tama is very cheerful and kind, but ulith is very sadistic like hell. Shit!!!!!!! the history repeated itself.

This is it!!! This is the prophecy of selector. Just like what mayu said " Truth is the two girls were originally from one girl". It does make any sense... Ruko has tama but she has been kicking out because of Iona's wish to become Ruko's LRIG. And then Iona become Ulith's replacement.

I knew it!!! that Ruko will become Mayu the 2nd.

Ulith and akira in the same room?? What am I thinking...
Akira is activating her yandere mode..
Mayu I like your sadistic attitute... Hate! Hate! hate! and then despair!!!!! I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're acting like a boss....

I like this anime, because my favorite genres fuses into one anime. game, psychological, yuri, and incest...... WOW!!!!!!!!!!! This is fucking awesome!!!!!!!!


The prophecy of selector has just begone.....

Interesting how the Girls of Black/White came from one body. Lots of questions to be asked, not a whole lot of answers. We know how Eternal girls are born, what happens if they lose 3 times, but we don't know who Mayu is and how the LRIG's even came about.

That may very well be it, can't say it's easy to figure out though as the concept of shock and panic is alien to me.

Wasn't Akira already going for the kill last time Ruko beat her? It wouldn't be unlikely that Akira was waiting for her with a gun (or knife if guns are too hard to come by) to kill both Ruko and Hitoe.

After rewatching ep 5 this sort of makes sense to me.
It seems the titles (or whatever you'd call it) is like this:
Girl of Fate - Mayu (ep 5, 20:35 - ...and soon found the room where Girl of Fate slept).
Girl of Black - Iona
Girl of White - Tama or Ru.

oh cool, that's actually REALLY interesting. could be hinting at future developments...

shiet is gonna go down tho. this is probs around the same time that season 1 really kicked into gear, happy that the really heavy drama didn't appear only in the last few eps.
i actually like how things are so ambiguous, it really keeps you guessing and that's part of what's making me watch this (that and sticking around to feel the satisfaction behind watching akira and ulith get their asses whooped!)

i know i'm getting really ahead of myself, but depending on how this season finishes, i wonder if there will be a third season....

The only thing I want in this anime at this point is for someone to slap akira so hard in the face that she will need medical attention...
Why can't Ruuko, Hitoe or Yuzuki do that??
I was expecting Hitoe to at least stand up and take no more shit, but apparently Akira had the manpower to drag her into that building and tie her up in a chair?
This show is frustrating.

Otherwise.. this episode was okay I guess. Nothing really happened until the last few minutes. Ruuko better show some promise in the next episode.

Akira is already nuts enough, them smacking her like that would just make her possibly resort to doing worse than what she's doing. We weren't shown when Akira grabbed/knocked Hitoe out. So for all we know Hitoe could have put up a brief fight before being knocked out (even then Akira could have been too fast before Hitoe could react. And it's not like Akira is so weak she can't drag Hitoe). Also Hitoe did threaten Akira saying she wasn't going to let Akira hurt Ruko and get away with it, so she did take a stand (which only made Akira more angry).
