| Oh man, what an episode. :O Really made me feel......all chilly and stuff......the way Ulith appeared, got her level 5 form.....Tama's wish? D: Man oh man.....and......Mayu is dead?! WHOA! What lol. Pretty intense last few episodes, can't wait to see how it plays out in the final episode. :3 |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Hyped for next week~ Can't wait to see how the ending will differ on S1's ending. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| How did they recall that place where Mayu lived? Was there an episode or a scene that showed that place? |
| I really can't tell how this will end. Like i would wanna give it a slight chance of Mayu disappearing together with Tama and Iona, but even with that, i'm not so sure. |
| Hanayo-san also fell in love with Kazuki. That's some serious stuff. I hope Hanayo-san can get better soon after what happened. Of course Mayu was already dead. It felt like she lived ages ago. Mayu was just merciless in how she made Ulith attack Yuki. She's now down for the count. I'm not sure if she's dead yet, but if she is, Tama will probably go down with her including Mayu. I hope Yuki recovers fast and Tama to be able to get out of that sealed room. Last episode next week! |
| Dang!!! For a series that I feel has actually been fairly mediocre this whole time, this climax is getting me Pumped! I legitimately cannot wait for the final episode now. |
 |
| Oh dang. Mayu is a ghost who came back to haunt the living!! O.O |
| Wow good stuff. It didn't come as a huge twist that Mayu was dead, but it definitely does mean a lot. We know a lot more about her character and her intentions, and we know that the girls' hope that they'd be able to sway her/save her somehow is gone. Which brings a lot of angst and tension for the finale. Not to mention what the imagery of death does for the atmosphere in general, especially when it was so vivid thanks to the buildup with Mayu's backstory. The final nail in the coffin to bring the promised atmosphere full circle and add true finality/melancholy to it. It definitely sets up a finale in which her her death can find closure in itself and in effect resolution for all the selectors/LRIG's. I dunno what's gonna happen but I'm certain it's gonna be insane and probably pretty sad. r0ykun said: That would be us, my friend.I wonder who will end up suffering I'm the finale.. |
 |
| Now that i think about it i dont think this will and yet, if rukos nightmare comes true next ep something will go horribly wrong |
| Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!! All mysteries has been revealed..... I didn't expect that the real Mayu is dead..... Ruko becomes mugen shojou.. but still Ruko hasn't return to her body or become a LRIG.... Ruko and Yuki still inside the white place. looks like they playing SAO in their dreams... I have a question, Why Mayu died?? What is her cause of her death?? please answer my question please.... |
 |
| I completely forgot that "Iona" is called Yuki now. When Ru said Yuki, I was like "What now?" Mayu is dead. Great, we can't kill her now. |
:)  |
| I give it a greater than 50% chance we will have a third season, since it should probably take more than one episode to quell the rage of a villain who has been developing for the whole season. Other loose ends include the exact nature of Chiyori's wish inversion, why Ruuko's grandma can beat Ruuko at WIXOSS (and why does she even have a deck?), and what happened to Akira after being defeated by Ulith. It seems a lot to cram into one episode. Recall the first season: the story could have ended with Tama accepting Ruuko's wish, the LRIGs being freed, and Ruuko eating ice cream with Yuzuki, Hitoe and Tama. ...But that ending might have seemed premature. It may have left Iona's (Yuki's) motive for seeking out Ruuko unexplained and the origin of the selector battles unexplained. Maybe that route could have been taken if the anime was -very- poorly recieved, but the reception seems to be okay at worst. Also, if I read too much into the titles... "infected" sounds like a beginning and "spread" sounds like a middle. Diseases in real life would go on to end with immunity, death, or symptoms just vanishing (recovery?). Maybe there's a fourth option I've missed... O.o? Can't think of a good single word for it right now. Unrelated: I'll compare this to Chaos Head (just a tiny bit), and I'll try to keep the spoilers light: Several characters in Chaos Head have the ability to bring their delusions into reality, and |
| If there is going to be a third season, I'm not going to watch it. At least the first season has a start, a middle and an end, with some mild character development, it's true you can guess most of the plot if you saw Madoka, but it's a new take on card game anime so it's excusable I guess? Yet this time Mari Okada really drop the ball and just really doesn't care anymore. Everything is so rush in the last two episodes, the real Inoa somehow gets her body back, Chiyori just drop out of the story by cheating the system and it works, Aki lucky is nowhere to be seen, Ruuko can just drop out of the battle etc. I have been trying to find the appeal of this "Innocent girl get screwed by the magic of the screenwriter" kind of show that starting to appear post-Madoka. In 2013 we have Day Break Illusion which is a complete disaster. This year we have this and Yuuki Yuuna, I thought these two would be at least decent because of the talent behind them, but no, they still mess them up at the end. They all copy the style of Madoka but change the character and event which is nothing but the writers demand whatever to happen. I can at least find some appeal in a bad shonen like Akame ga Kill or stupid mecha show like Aldnoah Zero. If it is the drama that attracts you that's fine, but even Madoka to me it's just Urobuchi being Urobuchi, his was lucky to have some real talents to help him crafting Madoka, there's not much to talk about if you know this guy, at least the drama and the visual is interesting. If the screenwriter doesn't care, why should the viewer care? |
Zuihou said: How did they recall that place where Mayu lived? Was there an episode or a scene that showed that place? Yup: season 1 Episode 3 and i ithink episode 4 when Ruuko faced Hitoe and where they played the normal WIXOSS togather |
| Episode definitely felt rushed which is a shame. I feel like they could have shaved off some time from the earlier eps to wrap this up in a more satisfying way. Don't think we are getting a S3 otherwise they probably would have announced it by now. Something like "Selector Cure Wixoss" would have been good, about trying to convince Mayu to stop the games or something along those lines. I fear for the finale :-( |

| AH I can't wait one week after that ><. Awesome episode, full of surprises. Kazuki just learned about his sister, a bit shocking for him. |

| Whoa Ruuko turns into an eternal girl but her wish isn't fulfilled yet! Wow I wonder why she has to battle Mayu...and also, how will Tama come back? I hope everything works out D: And the real Mayu is dead?? Why was she even in that house behind the library in the first place? Also what did the do with Ruuko's body after Ruuko went into the white window room? Although I would love to have another season of Wixoss, I can't see them dragging the story out any longer. But it doesn't look good for Ruuko and the others! :( |

I fear for the finale :-( On one hand, they can gain 3 minutes by omitting the OP and ED sequences from the last episode. While there's a lot to cram in to finish the story with one more episode... it might be possible. O.o On the other hand, announcing subsequent seasons or movies at the end of a last episode is not unheard of. As for funding... Maybe the real card game is funding it. O.o The money to make two seasons of original anime must have come from somewhere. Look at how long Yugioh runs for too. ...although I suspect WIXOSS costs a lot more to write and animate per episode then Yugioh, or any other card game anime for that matter. |
| I think Grandma knows everything about mayu and selector battles.. maybe she's a former maid of mayu... |

| Great episode, a lot happened despite it didn'f feel rushed. Poor Yuki. Kuruku said: This, Ruuko's Grandma and the name of the season are the only clues that might lead to S3, but I' really wouldn't get my hopes up beyond 40%.Please that building in construction NEED TO MEAN SOMETHING IN THE END >.< I hope that, if the good reception leads to it, it will be good, or I'd rather it end here as I like it a lot at this point. |
  |
| I just realized how cold hearted Mayu really is by fulfilling her objective of getting rid of Kuro. At first, I thought the original Iona was put back into her own body as a mean (/convenient) joke by Mayu, when in fact, it was to make Kuro disappear. Evil. |

| When did Mayu die ? When was the first time wixoss cards were made ? Mayus death has to be recent. |
macamiki said: If it was according to Yuki's statement, then Mayu die when Tama wake up(and become Ruu's LRIG) because apparently Mayu sealed Tama and the seal broken when she die.When did Mayu die ? When was the first time wixoss cards were made ? Mayus death has to be recent. |
| 11 weeks and they're still in despair |
| When I think on it again, wrap-up in just one final episode woukld far, far too rushed. All the ends that have yet to be tied, would either remain unexplained or need more than 20 min. Maybe a movie will suffice best. Put on the list: Who locked Mayu there. Where do her powers come from. Why Ruuko's mother was scared of her own daughter. |
|
| Yuki NOOOOOOO Tama and Yuki become one in order to save Yuki. They will become the most powerful LRIG and defeat Mayu. |
| Plot twist, Ruuko is actually Mayu's long lost twin sister who was spirited away and adopted by Grandma, who may or may not be a former maid of the Mayu household. Well, silly speculations aside.... I laughed my arse off when Ruuko just picked up Yuki off the table and hightailed away from the battle zone, with Mayu yelling for her to come back! Oh god that was funny as hell!! If I recall correctly, Season 2 was announced at the very end of the credits for the last episode of season 1. There's still hope for a season 3. |

 |
| Just trying to put the pieces together here.. a little confused. Why did the real Urazoe Iona return to her body again? The one inside her was ulrith, with tama as her card. Ulrith (as Iona) battled with Aki-crazy and won. Lastly.. why does Yuki (kuro/iona) have to disappear? Ruuko got her wish (to enter the white window room) so essentially, she should be a card right now and Yuki should be in Ruukos body. Seeing how Ruuko is in the white window room, Yuki then has no option but to remain there and simply.. vanish? |
        Insanity lives deep within ourselves |
| i feel like a lot of events happened in this episode. one more BATTORU! to go. I hope they wrap it all up neatly on the final ep. |
 |
| I fucking LOVE this episode, I watched it twice. So much feelings right now |
 |
| Next episode is the revelation of that pillar thing.... remember what Ruko said in episode 1 " If the pillar goes there..." Why mayu died? who is the creator of wixoss card?? |
| |
| Omg dat OST during the contract. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| I won't be happy if Yuki (eternal Iona for me!) die! =/ Why is Ulith so powerful? She might be another part of Mayu... |

Paulo27 said: Meritas said: Why Ruuko's mother was scared of her own daughter. I'M STILL WAITING. And the nightmare please. Hopefully the last episode in which I will now go watch. Honestly this was the first episode this season to interest me (okay well I guess the reveal with the LN author was interesting too). But it was only interesting to me because Kazuki found out about the truth XD Mayu being dead doesn't really surprise me since I don't care whether she's dead or alive. It's unfortunate that she was living in such a situation, but I can't really form an opinion about her unless I know why she locked up. |
| This show is so depressing. POOR EVERYONE. Except for Ulith, cuz she's enjoying everything. One more episode to go, I'm so sad. Even if the last episode stinks and doesn't answer certain things (nightmare and Ruuko's mom), I'm still giving this a high rating. The journey so far has been incredibly entertaining. |
 |
| Holy crap O_O So much happened this episode ... so first Hanayo falls in love with Kazuki too AND THEN HE FINDS OUT SHE'S NOT REALLY YUZUKI!!! I did NOT expect that to happen ... Ruuko battles Hitoe and wins then makes the contract with Yuki and Tama. Except she didn't turn into a card ... and now that I think about it, is she still standing where she was before?! O_O Anyway, so they both go into the white room to find Mayu and Ulith! Quite a twist ... not to mention Hitoe and Kazuki going and then finding out that MAYU'S ALREADY DEAD O_O I mean, obviously she had to be in the real world SOMEWHERE, but how exactly did she get the power to make all this stuff happen IRL?! The battle Ruuko and Mayu was having was pretty good except then she left because Yuki was fading ... makes sense since she failed to fulfill Iona's wish as she's back as herself. Not to mention Hanayo in the hospital now too :S So it seems like Ruuko's wish didn't come true after all because she needs both Yuki and Tama to be there? Hmm ... this could pose a problem. Plus Ulith's level 5 too ... oh dear D: Hope they wrap this up well! As other commenters have said, we still don't know about the nightmare either ... (personally hoping that dark Tama will come back? :O) |
| I bet next episode everybody goes either nuts or RIP. ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ But maybe Tama'll come to the rescue. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| *Ruko runs away* My reaction: (and I'm sure this was Mayu's reaction as well)  |
