| I like the direction the story took in the second half of the episode, however I have mixed thoughts about Mayu's story. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't as persuasive and well-thought as I wanted it to be. I also feel lonely sometimes, but I don't trap people in cards! I hope we get some more clarifications in the next episodes I was wondering if Ruuko's grandma knows anything about Mayu... |

| Damn, things are getting insane. Lovin' it. |
Noodle070 said: Also, if Kuro and Shiro were the only two LRIGs, then wouldn't that mean that there could only be two selectors? Because whether you swap places with your LRIG, or if your LRIG leaves to find a new selector when you lose, how are new LRIGs added? Maybe I'm just misunderstanding something. They explained this. Mayu didn't just create Kuro and Shiro. She created a lot more LRIGs. It's just that they all eventually left, and that Kuro and Shiro are the only ones left. |

| i have some option to tell why Mayu become a bitch 1.she is psycho thats why her father don't let her out 2.her father know she have psychic power to make things go real 3.her father doing experiments on her because he was the one made this game 4.if her father know she play psycho with her card game then why don't he stop her when everything go real what happen to her father and mother damn this is going so crazy psycho bitch dead darker Magica Madoka going so much i know now only one thing is mysteries who is the one made this game so when Ruuko save Mayu from her bitchiness then every girl can be saved and damn Iona feels so cute there sick bitch Ulith how dear you give Tama evilness to beat Iona so deadfully and Akira give you good stab in the end don't ever play with yendere bitch i know in s1 Akira almost stab Ruuko but she was saved there next ep gonna be so halling too i know Ulith not gonna die there i don't know what Akira going to do next |

| I hope they're actually going to develop Akira's motivations a bit past 'crazy jealous yandere' because the stabbing didn't make much sense to me as things stand. She adores Ulith who tells her she is beautiful and they will always be together...so she sticks a pen in her gut and walks off. Eh? Poor Tama getting 'entered' by Ulith repeatedly. Heh. Thankfully no Chiyori again though, worst comic relief ever. Hoping for a Bad End there. |

| Holy shit that was awesome. And the mindfs in this episode... |
| Let’s say you drink too much strawberry milk, and have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. You don’t want to get up, but the urge to urinate is just too strong! You run to the bathroom, stand in front of the toilet, and let loose! You think that all your life has led to this moment! YOU'RE STILL IN BED! That feeling of lukewarm wetness spreads!

Her name literally means "green girl". Not much to suggest she is a boy, but doesn't "ko (子)" mean "child", not "girl"? |
| Finally I was waiting for Akira to pull a Kefka and go so crazy that she would kill(?) her "master". Fantastic Episode |
molitar said: Every rule of the card game was broken in this episode! Not even other card games like Yu-Gi-Oh broke the base rules! Ulith attacked more than once! Fafnir, Cross End Slash, All out punching match, than another Fafnir! That broke every rule of the card game itself! Was the creator of this manga/anime really cop out that far to ruin a great show because they could not come up with a better way to defeat Ruko! I hate it when you have a card based anime or manga than just break the rules because you can't come up with a better way to defeat the good guy! My feelings it was a cop out on the author to not put the love and time into having Ruko defeated in a way that stayed within the card game rules! The reality of the card game world was destroyed by the breaking of the rules which should destroy the card world itself as it's based on the game world of Wixoss! Every alternative world that is created has to have it's base reality and them rules can not be arbitrarily thrown away as it will destroy the alternative reality. This premise is in every book, story, and anime. As the ending she cheated than Ruko really could not be counted as a loss but oh wait we have an author that cops out and will count this as a lost on Ruko's part. This really destroyed the show for me big time. Although I somewhat agree with the notion that, if you implement a certain element you should try to stick to it and it's rules I also think they should have never implemented the card game element to begin with so I for one am very happy that they don't take that aspect to seriously. This could have been an even better Anime without that ridiculous aspect. I mean after this episode with Mayu's backstory it finally starts to make a little bit of sense (really just a little, is Mayu a god??), but since this whole card game world was apparently born out of Mayu's will, desires and wishes who is to say that desires, wishes and willpower can't change the world, even if their aren't Mayu's? |

Ko does mean child but: "Male names often end in -rō (郎 "son", but also 朗 "clear, bright"; e.g. "Ichirō") or -ta (太 "great, thick"; e.g. "Kenta"), or contain ichi (一 "first [son]"; e.g. "Ken'ichi"), kazu (also written with 一 "first [son]", along with several other possible characters; e.g. "Kazuhiro"), ji (二 "second [son]" or 次 "next"; e.g. "Jirō"), or dai (大 "great, large"; e.g. "Daiichi") while female names often end in -ko (子 "child"; e.g. "Keiko") or -mi (美 "beauty"; e.g. "Yumi"). Other popular endings for female names include -ka (香 "scent, perfume" or 花 "flower"; e.g. "Reika") and -na (奈, or 菜, meaning greens; e.g. "Haruna")." Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_name or you can read more about names here. But anyways, if you ever see a "ko" at the end of a male's name, it's probably the ending "hiko" and not just "ko." But yeah JGChaves's translation is wrong, it should be "green child." |

I think you may be missing the entire point of the series......the rules don't matter, that's precisely what sets it apart from other card based series like Yu-Gi-Oh! I literally couldn't tell you a single rule for the entire game and that's fine because the games themselves aren't what the series is about. |
| Awesome episode! Ulith instakarma from Aki-lucky. Very twisted I like this! |
 |
| Shit got real. Also, don't mess with the yandere. |
| Holy shit this was awesome! The battle and the background story was cool! Still, it raises way too many questions. Firstly, WIXOSS has been here since before Mayu, but what exactly is she to be able to do the things she's done? Is she like a witch child living in a mansion who has supernatural powers? Why would Tama and Iona want to even help her? And seriously what the hell is Ulith actually? She doesn't seem like a normal girl in the real world, so I'm assuming that she's the murderously deviant side of Mayu? Oh and that ending! Ulith underestimated the power of breaking someone beyond repair! Akira has gone off the deep end for sure! Wonder if she or Ulith will be the last boss though. And it also seems like Mayu is looking for Iona and Tama to save her somehow. Can't wait to see the end of all things! |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Wow! This episode was GREAT!! I couldn`t take my eyes off the screen and i wasn`t able to say anything,that`s how interesting it was! We finally get to see Mayu`s backstory as well as Tama`s! And,and the end of the episode with Akira stabbing Ulith..WOW! What will happen with Tama now..what`s gonna happen next? I WANNA KNOW KNOW! :)))) |
This is where I`d put my signature...If i had one. |
| Wait, so Mayu just somehow dreamed everything into existence? That's farfetched, ever for this show. I hope there's more to it than that. I dug that stab at the end, though. |
| I'm pretty sure a mechanical pencil is not sharp enough to pierce through a vital organ. Also judging by where Ulith's hands were, it seemed she was stabbed on the lower body. Ulith won't die for sure, and she better not just die for that petty reason. |
molitar said: Every rule of the card game was broken in this episode! Not even other card games like Yu-Gi-Oh broke the base rules! Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters broke so many rules in the Duelist Kingdom part of the anime it was ridiculous. For example, when Blue-eyes White Dragon stopped attacking and self-destructed because of "Heart of the Cards", when Yuugi's monster attacked a Field Magic Card to destroy it or when Jounouchi attacked with Thousand Dragon to destroy 3 Harpy Ladies and there shouldn't have even been 3 Harpy Ladies on the field in the first place. It was all nonsense. |

Mayu's way of affecting reality by sheer will power somehow remember the basic ways the esper powers in To Aru Majutsu no Index work Well, Mayu created Tama and Iona, so she decided what their purpose were, like a robot that was programated by someone. Iona even said they just changed because of Ruko Ulith was just a crazy girl, she even told her story |

She adores Ulith who tells her she is beautiful and they will always be together...so she sticks a pen in her gut and walks off. Eh? Did you even watch the previous episode? Because if so it should be plain obvious why Akira did that at the end of this episode (and to add on, what do you think would happen when you tear down a person like Akira? Of course the person will turn on you). SimmianPrime said: molitar said: Every rule of the card game was broken in this episode! Not even other card games like Yu-Gi-Oh broke the base rules!

I literally couldn't tell you a single rule for the entire game and that's fine because the games themselves aren't what the series is about. dingdingdingding! That was what really took the episode to the next level, showing the true nature of Mayu's product: a brutal, lawless game designed to bring despair to all who aren't of the same will of Mayu. It was an outstanding way to bring the promised atmosphere of the show full circle and set up the most 'real' event we've seen in the show. The show is not about the matches. The matches are a byproduct of Mayu's twisted will, and merely a setup for the character's fall to despair. They show has literally been making this clear since day fucking one and this episode finally brought that reality to the characters. If you're still watching for the game dynamic and expecting it to be something absolute relative to the story then that's your fault, not the writer's. Which is a shame since you're literally missing everything the show actually has to offer. |

Roychop said: Akira did try to deny in this episode while she was broke down, but at the end saw through Ulith and betrayed her. I'm not even sure Ulith actually lied to Akira there at the end. She has stated before that she liked Akira exactly as that broken, vengeful girl. Of course, it's not exactly what Akira herself wants to be, though. |

Ulith won't die for sure, and she better not just die for that petty reason. you know that is where your liver is right. I don't think the stab wound was deep enough it could hit a vital organ there. 4 inchs deep is a killing blow on a human in most area's of the body. |
| I love how they showed Mayu creating the game.And how she toys with others.Ok you lost no more flowers for you,ok you win bring me another girl now and she ruins other lives while looking peaceful with that smile on her face. |
| Holy shit is this anime so messed up. It's delicious. |
  |
| Wow she is mad. |
| Jesus can walk on water. Cucumbers are 96% water. I can walk on cucumbers. I'm 96% Jesus. |
| I'm still confused about how Mayu created all of this but I guess they'll explain it in full soon (hopefully). This whole imaginary shit doesn't cut it. To be honest, I think stabby Aki-lucky is more reasonable now than when she was still worshipping Ulith. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Akira went from crazy bitch to my favorite character thanks to the final scene lol |
 » Escapism. |
| Oh. o-o Whoa, what an explanation about this whole entire situation. The problem of why girls fight with cards to get there wishes granted has been solved. owo So....Iona is Kuro.....Tama is Shiro.....both are like....daughters/friends to Mayu? o-o Huh.......I guess that's reasonable....... And....Oh! That part where Ulith went "into" Tama to make a bad ass dark version of Tama? Nice! It's too bad she started beating up Iona really hard though. :( Anyways.......Ulith gets what she deserves and bitchy, broken down Akira stabs her in the side.....with a pen. Noice Nice episode overall . owo |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Wow! so many surprises here! So Iona was actually "Kuru" and she and Tama are the only old LRIG's alive. Man, this is amazing, so dark! And Akira wow! Ulith deserved that, thank you crazy Aki-lucky! |
 |
| Mayu's back story is pretty interesting, but I need more details to see the full picture. Imagination becoming reality with no explanation is rather weak. But then again its not the super important part. I have a feeling it will come down to the power of friendship, but I hope its done well. Besides that, this episode was creepy in the best ways. Nice to see Akira completely lose it. I wonder where it will go from here? |
| The dark tone is back!! :D |
| That shit was nasty |
| And I had a feeling that Ruuko and them would persuade Akira to steal Tama for them, but no, she took the initiative to stab her. Holy sh*t! I don't think Ulith will die that easily, there's no way that pencil would kill her, unless it had like poison or something, though I wonder if Ulith will report Akira, more like what will Akira do? I still have hope for her and hope that she goes with Ruuko and them. I wonder how things are on Hanayo 's end. Also, I'm a bit confused. Ulith said that when Selectors loose, they become LRIGs, but the original LRIG that they had disappears, but when they win, they switch places. Is this correct or am I missing something? Because I thought that when you loose 3 times, your wish isn't granted, but at what point do you become a LRIG? Okay, so I just read on the wiki and apparently, this only applies for the original LRIG. |

| I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you. ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ Everyday life. |
xchee said: I'm still confused about how Mayu created all of this but I guess they'll explain it in full soon (hopefully). This whole imaginary shit doesn't cut it. This. I know this show isn't realistic in the first place, but i don't understand how this Mayu girl was able to create this world. |
| Akira went full insane, hehe. |
 |
| Dat OST when Akira stabbed Ulith 0_______0 |
| Wow!!!! this episode is very fucking awesome!!!!! everything has a reverse. Tama turn into darkness and Iona is crossing into light. Fucking akira she became mad, mad of ulith. she so possessive yandere Akira's last sentence before stabbing Ulith's abdomen...... " Ulith youre...." _Fucking mine__" Shit!!!!!! this is unexpected!!!!!! I want more despair!!!!!!!!!!! more episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| Ulith won't die, she respawn. |
| |
| Meh... |
 |
| Oh wow. never thought that would happen but Akira finally did her first useful thing in the whole anime. I was wondering why she was brought back in the second season. Seems like she wasn't entirely useless for the story. Still can't stand her though. Those jumps in emotion are just too damn annoying. |
