Intense episode, probably one the most serious ones yet.

I love how it displays blood based attacks in its most dangerous form. I think Leo realized that too. And like usual, I loved watching Zapp in action with his blood style attacks this episode. I'm glad they also gave Zed O'Brien a time a shine in this series as well. He has a similar attack style compared to Zapp too. Very entertaining and welcoming member to the cast!

Midorikawa Hikaru <3 I really love his voice. The preview is so mean, stop reminding me there are only 3 episodes left.

The very last scene leave me uneasy... What's wrong with Leo and Klaus staring each other like that? Did they sense something? ><

Quite the episode

So Black is William and White is Mary :3
Loved the talk with her dad. He seems like a nice guy. I wonder if he knew something will happen?

So The KoDs goal is to make White get Leo's eyes for him and then he'll return her brother? Will she really do it? Should be interesting.

The fight was cool. Nice teamwork. Zed seems like a pretty interesting character too. Another stellar VA to the cast too :O

Finally, Zed appears <3

That scene with young Mary and Will accompanied by dat music was quite emotional. Poor White, that is one tough decision.

And only three episodes left... that is depressing as hell

First half of the episode was.....quite all over the place.

But the second half was great. White and Black faced the same situation as Leo and his sister. King of Despair wants White to get Leo's eyes, then he will give her Black back. That's cruel. I wonder what she will do as it is pretty clear that she likes Leo very much.

Zapp's face and him spitting in Zed's face was hilarious xD

With how black gunky liquids flowed out of the eyes of Black/William at the end, perhaps he actually needs Leo's eyes at this point to replace his own deteriorating ones .

I now get the gist of Black/White and what effect they will have on Leo.

I kind of miss that humour present in other episodes though.

No one understands Zed, he looks like a pretty cool guy. And fishes are great so that's a plus.

I wonder what White will do. That guy looks pretty serious about not giving Black back, even if he cried black tears at the end.

Action-packed first half; typical Kekkai Sensen stuff. Zapp's reaction to Zed was priceless! The teamwork was pretty neat too.
The idle conversation between the three adversary leads was somewhat interesting. I like how Aligura's voice is in the borderline of annoying and cute. Koorogi Satomi is one talented VA.

The BGM playing during the flashback where William was sacrificing himself for Mary was beautiful. Dem feels.. ;_;
Kinda feel bad for White.. Torn between getting Leo's eyes and having her brother back, she's in quite the dilemma. Hopefully, she'll find a way to deal with both sides. Those black tears of Black though..

Decent episode. Many misfortunes await for the characters as Abrams will return next week.

Good episode, we finally know William and Mary/Black and White's story. I feel so bad for White. I want her to be friends with Leo as well and become better than friends~

Remember Mary, William's hurting people so you need to set him straight just like your dad said!

3 episodes to go, I'm getting sad...

The 1st part of the ep is basically a follow up to the last ep. In the last ep, they defeated the bottom half of what's his name (couldn't remember). This ep they take on the upper half of that guy. We're introduced to a new character in this ep also: Zed. I believe whatever the Blood Bread guy was doing coincidentally helped Blank's plan to create a new Collapse.

Just done watching, Very enjoyable episode. The first part was very action packed and I love every bit of it. That vampire was awesome! I was ready to see him wreck avoc on the libra members but then teamwork and the Master wouldn't let him. I really love it when Klaus is sealing the vampires and the way he did it in this episode with him waiting for his opponent to be weak was great.

Zed is love and life. He looks like such a dork. I know I'm going to enjoy seeing his relationship with Zapp. His design looks great to me, a otherworldly creature is a great addition to Libra.

It seems like Evil Black's plan is in the works and everything is finally coming together. I wasn't ready for him to have White retrieve Leo's eyes with those glasses. It was sad seeing White cry because of the situation and her being torn between helping her brother and Leo.

From what I got, it seems the sealed hole for the great collapse might have been inside he building where Libra was fighting the Vampire. Or at least it's related to it. Last episode they fought the lower part of his body and this one the top came in too. While the fight was ongoing Leo saw a weird light emanating from the building itself that he couldn't explain and even saw it stronger the moment the seal over the hole was completely. None of the others were aware of that since they were focused on fighting the blood breed. However with evil Black talking about playing cards, I've come to the conclusion that the plane coming in, Libra catching it and the fight happening in the building were all part of his plan to bring a 2nd collapse in NY. And he got what he wanted.

They really should have just made the Z's longest day part a single episode with the white/black stuff being its own episode to follow. it was still fun as hell but breaking it up in the middle makes starting this ep feel really disconnected and doesnt have the same build up of crazy like most of the episode before have had

So i guess the anime only stuff has officially taken over cause im fairly certain a good 70% of this past 2 episodes have been black and white stuff. Well next ep looks light hearted a bit but then the last image looks pretty serious so we will see. 3 episodes elft to see if this anime only part can really make the series more than just a fun time though i worry its already a bit too little left to make it work to its fullest potential

Last 3 episodes will decide if this is a 7/10 or a 8/10 for me, ill be sad to see my AOTS go but hopefully it goes on a high note

I got a couple of flashbacks to the latter half of Kyousougiga during this episode with how the Femt, Black and Aligura subplot played out, with the cryptic conversations and a very Inari like Femt and whatnot. Which isn't the most convincing thing at this stage in the game to be honest. I'm not sure why that scene was so static as well, I mean they were at a carnival, it would have been far more interesting if we got to see the dynamics between them as they rode the rides or something, although maybe that would have taken away from the seriousness of the situation and the plot would have flown over even more heads. But just something slightly more visually interesting would have been nice and would have made the transitions between the actiony manga scenes and the talkative, slower anime original scenes a bit more seamless.

That being said, I did very much like this episode and the revelations about White and Blacks past and how it mirrors Leo's and his sisters. The integration of the anime original content wasn't as smoothly handled this episode and it only seemed to add to the confusion of the events, but I'd say give it a chance to explain itself because as with Kyousougiga, I'm sure the climax will unravel itself quite nicely. I think I'm going to miss the light-hearted aspect of the series as it goes into full drama mode, which only increases my hopes for a season two and even though this episode was a slight miss-step in my eyes, I don't think that it was enough to effect the climax of the anime original plot, so I'm still optimistic.

So we finally know the names of our twins....William and Mary are nice names :)

I had the same reaction as Zapp did when the apprentice guy showed himself lol, talk about an underwhelming appearance xD His trident thing looked pretty cool though and his moves did impress me

The battle against the Blood Breed was fun (Is it just me or did that Blood Breed look like Zangetsu lol) but I died of laughter when their master said that their skills against them is garbage level and then just left them with his apprentice lmfaoooo

Looks like shit is about to go down now that the barrier is destroyed and that the King of Despair essential wants Black to kill Leo and take his eyes....I can already see that feels are incoming and I feel so bad for White (That flashback was too cute and sad TwT)

This episode was pretty good, lots of backstory with White and Black. We finally found out their actual names; Mary and Will. I honestly thought White and Black were their real names, I feel stupid now. xD Black crying black tears at the end while laughing was pretty creepy.

I really like Zed as a character. Half human and half fish, very unique haha. xD Him using a trident as a weapon is so fitting to his character. I liked the little banter and team up between Zed and Zapp. Looks like White will be a very important in these final few episodes. She has to find a way to stop Black.

Interesting gamble made by the King of Despair. It seems he's willing to wager the disclosure of his name and risk White revealing it to Leo in this "game" he's staged to see if White will betray her new friend in exchange for the return of her brother's body/soul. Kind of typical for such a being as the King of Despair who has everything he could possibly want (and is clearly kind of bored) to take such a high stakes risk. There's the slight chance he'll lose, but I suppose the risk makes the prize of Leo's Eyes of God all the more delicious. So curious to see how this all plays out.

The ending theme has really grown on me, and the part where K.K.'s daughter (?) rolls across the floor is so cute.

So it looks like some shit went down in that building. I don't know what, but it looked bad, and it was probably related to the collapse.

It almost looked like some seal surrounding the building broke. Then that green pool of water with all of the chains supporting the barrier just turned off. Which in turn caused White to get a sharp pain that knocked her out.

Poor White. Torn between what she wants for herself, and trying to save her brother. I wonder if she'll actually go through with it, seeing as how that flashback emphasized her keeping Will out of trouble.

She said she wanted to be friends with Leo. WRONG TERM. You want to DATE Leo. Get that shit right Mary.

Nah. It looked like they were still in that moment where Klaus tells him that didn't just recruit him for his eyes. Which probably left Leo kind of emotionally stunned.

CandyFace said:

Wrong. When she was a child she still had bright green eyes. What happened was the bright blue essence that went into Will's body was so bright it just overpowered her eye color when it reflected off her eyes. You can even see, when she's running up to him when he's in the field of flowers, her eyes are still green.

I must have rewatched this episode at least 3x and I still don't know what to make of it. The first half was especially muddled even for Kekkai Sensen and I'm not sure if this part was meant to introduce the new character alone or if it would have more significance in the future. The latter half was more forbidding.

Overall, the episode feels more disjointed than usual but I've always loved Kekkai Sensen's subtlely and slick execution so I believe it'd all make sense in last three episodes (oh dear ;_;).

I'm going to be honest here: other than the fact that Black's other self wants Leo's eyes and the fact that Black and White starting calling themselves that because of their parents, this episode literally made no sense at all. Even by this show's standards, it was a whole lot of substance with no way to actually understand what was going on. Sure, the fight against the Blood Breed was pretty cool, but that new guy added nothing of value to the fight and could have been done without. Also, didn't Zapp destroy that egg form of the vampire's lower half last ep? Why was it back again? And what in the name of fuck were Aligura, Femt and Black's alternate self going on about. It was so pointlessly vague.

Hope the later eps explain what happened in this disastrous clusterfuck.

Here's a nice explanation to what occurred during this episode from someone else. It really isn't confusing if you try to connect the dots.


Anyway, it's pretty obvious that Despair dragged Femt and Aligura there claiming that they were going to see MUH GREAT COLLAPSE that he declared he was going to do a couple episodes ago, and they were both shitting on him for not actually doing anything to do with his supposed Master Plan.

During the battle atop that one skyscraper, something frays in the metaphysics of the city, presumably the barrier that keeps the Great Collapse contained, which was referred to in the previous episode as having been made by Casters/Psychics. Mary collapses from a stroke or something soon after, probably due to her life being tied to the barrier or something. Despair is apparently using an indirect method because his agreement with William in terms of body-snatching requires that he not harm Mary directly. Femt continues to shit on Despair for claiming that this is part of his Master Plan by saying, "COULD ALL THIS REALLY HAVE BEEN A COINCIDENCE?????"

Despair then talks about how none of their plans ever have meaning because they're all foiled and implies he's taking steps to remove barriers to his plan happening properly. Aligura understands what he means and gives him a device for stealing God-Eyes. By the fact that Despair wants Mary to take Leo's eyes, he probably sees Leo as the biggest obstacle to his plan working out.

this episode had tons of messy informations, and loads of questions.

- What really happened to White at the hospital?
- What was going on with the building?
- Where did the Zapp's master go?
- Why were Despair's tears black?
- whAt is reALLY DESPAIR'S NAME???????????
- What on earth are the glasses Despair gave to White?

ALSO THAT PREVIEW. DID DESPAIR GET LEO'S EYES????
Do you think Leo has his natural eyeballs if the God ones are taken?

damn kekkai sensen.
