| My thoughts: - I think it's almost certain Ayumi is dead - if it wasn't already heavily implied last episode, this preview should put the nail in the coffin, so to speak. Yuu wakes up in the hospital with relatively minor injuries and has a breakdown when he learns the news. I think it's likely he was either unconscious or in a coma for some time, given the injuries to his head. - There's obviously a slight time skip, as Yuu is shown to be out of the hospital in the preview. Understandably, he is having a difficult time coping with his sister's death. We have no idea exactly how much time has passed since the incident or his leaving the hospital, but he still wears bandages around his head, so it has not been long enough for his injuries to fully heal. - I honestly have no idea what to make of the blond guy with the knife, nor with the weird video game sequence at 0:08, though I suspect the latter may be Yuu trying to vent his emotions through gaming. My predictions: - I think it is pretty safe to say that Yuu has become depressed and will lash out at everyone around him, including his friends. I expect lots of tears and angst - not that it isn't warranted, mind you. - I believe the show will continue getting darker and more violent. The knife hovering above the guy's eye, Yuu's sadness, rage, and melancholy, and the seriousness of Nao and Misa's expressions suggest a much darker tone for this episode than we have seen previously. And I am glad for it. - This would mean a severe lack of the silliness and slapstick shenanigans present in earlier episodes, for which I am also glad. There may be a few moments of mood lightening, but for the most part I think Episode 7 will be very depressing. - I imagine Yuu will get a pep talk from Nao at some point, perhaps part of which has been glimpsed in the preview. She, like Yuu, has lost her sibling (and he's not even dead), so she can likely emphasize with what he's feeling. Whether or not Yuu will listen is another story. - I don't expect the mysteries of the orange-haired girl or the wet-haired diviner guy standing over the rubble in the after-credits scene to be touched upon until the latter half of the episode, if at all, and the rest will almost exclusively focus on Yuu in the aftermath of his sister's death and how he struggles to adjust. |
| He's crying at a photo on his desk in the last scene, so I think the first responder above is likely correct that the sister is dead/missing. The guy with a knife, I expect to be a hoodlum, who the MC goes to to lash out his anger. I suspect this episode to have a lot of feels. Sighh |

Yuu_vi_Britannia said: Maeda's interview - G's magazine - August 10 - translation G's magazine: We're finally at episode 6. You've said that "The real story starts at episode 6", can you summarize the important points of the episode? Maeda: It should be, the story is finally starting to develop from episode 6. But the production won't say "The real story starts from episode 6" as if we're only showing you guys the boring stuff as it will only make things more difficult from here on. I kind of regret saying it at the start. G's magazine: Because of episode 6's unexpected developments, much of the audience wants to know what comes next. Could you tell us a bit about that? Maeda: The MC's development is what. Although his development started from the first episode, it's not enough. But with someone's death, things are going to change. I understand people are going to say "Not this shit again" but please bear with it for now. G's magazine: Interview with production members tells us that Kumagami will be a key character. What will be his role later on in the story? Maeda: Kumagami is a very special character. He's not only _____. As episode 2 tells us, he can track ability users as well as find out what their powers are. Behind the hair hides a handsome face, and that is when he reveals his true power. He is also _____'s helper, as well as a friend to Tomori's group. G's magazine: Tomori and Takajyo seems to be hiding something from Yuu. Is there a secret they know that he doesn't? Maeda: Yes. Takajyo during episode 5 said that "You have ________'s power. Tomori and Takajyo both knows Yuu's true power from Kumagami, but Yuu doesn't know at this point. G's magazine: Now that we're at the second half, can you tell us a bit more about the second promotional artwork? Maeda: As of now, the show gives off the vibe of "The daily lives of ability users during adolescence." The second promotional artwork is meant to break that atmosphere. It's a bit similar to my part work "Moon", and when I was writing the show I felt that it won't be a good idea to go down that path. G's magazine: There's a lot of discussion within the fanbase about Yuu's power. What is your opinion about their discussions? Maeda: I'm happy to see everyone worked up over it. But I think that those who know me knows that the story as of now doesn't have all the cards on the table. There will be more unexpected developments coming up, and I hope you guys will look forward to it. G's magazine: You saw the audience's reaction online. How do you feel right now? Maeda: I think the success of the work depends on how well it is received online, so I do feel happy about that. But it isn't enough as of yet. If the reaction from the audience isn't strong enough, then I won't be able to reach my own goals I've been praying every day for it to be more popular. G's magazine: Anything you want to say to your fanbase? Maeda: I myself haven't seen episode 13 yet, so I can't say "This was a fine piece of work." as of yet. But the production members are trying their hardest every day so I do believe that the day I can say this will come. It will make me very happy if people can stick with this show until the very last episode. source: http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/001/103/1103671/&usg=ALkJrhjOJUHsZPUmMxyH5nrJaOWFZm375Q http://gs.dengeki.com/news/36215/ in other words please excuse the previous 5 lackluster episodes.

However, the only episodes I had serious issues with throughout were episodes 4 and 5, with the first 3 in my opinion performing adequately in constructing the setting, characters, and general premise. For me, it was only in the two episodes I mentioned where I started to question why I was watching the anime and literally cringed at times. I still think the first 5 episodes could have been handled much better, but I wouldn't say they were a complete joke. |

That makes me wonder if you were saying such things in the case of receiving that kind of response. Because frankly speaking, I do not see the utility of arguing about the humour of some episodes that you dislike while you can clearly see that the majority of us actually enjoyed those episodes. I understand that the humour in Charlotte doesn't amuse everyone, but that doesn't make a point to talk about. We all have our own taste in humour, that's it and there is nothing more. I hate Kill la Kill and its humour, but I don't go on its forum to explain my discontent toward the humour of this series. Discussion is good, but when the meaning of your words are only about your personal and subjective approach of something, then this is barely a conversation. |

I may have been rude, but it's because I was taken aback by this collective dismissal of the first 5 episodes as a waste of time without any real argument or prior discussion. I'm still sorry for using you as a sort of scapegoat, though. Don't take me that seriously next time ;) |

| Yuu is clearly depressed and with a different aura, which means that in 80% of chance, Ayumi went to the bag, and is in a coma in 20% (20% in bet because hardly anyone dies in Key maximum is in a coma, disappears if it is already spirit, turns an animal or etc). When he looks at the doctor, who apparently with the nurse and others you give the news of the death or coma of her sister, it confirms what has been said above. Who would be the suited man in front of the bed? Reinforcing the theory that in the future, Yuu would be one of those responsible for research in the 'teens with superpowers', that you can be one of the founders controlling scientists, trying to bring Yuu with the organization since his power would be useful to 'capture' people. Apparently Yuu is in your home crying and wondering what to do, Takajou Yusa and try to cheer him up, but in vain. In the middle of preview, Yuu is surprised by something, his expression is who is about to change their minds about something. He appears playing some shooter discounting the rage at that time is beginning to springs psychopathy within the brat. The offender that appears may be someone he was back to discount the anger too, and in the end, Yuu appears reminding the imouto. This episode can give the focus on theories already launched earlier. |

I'm still sorry for using you as a sort of scapegoat, though. Don't take me that seriously next time ;) Alright, I'll try not to :) I was a bit heavy-handed and overharsh with my criticism of the humor in 4 and 5 (I am not one of those who disliked all the previous episodes before now - or else why would I continue watching?). Now that I look back on it with an attempt to be more objective, it was only a few of the jokes that seemed repitive and irritating to me. Also, the baseball game just didn't do it for me. And I do believe there were good parts of the two episodes, important parts - I didn't mean to give the impression that I thought they were a waste of time. I simply thought they could have been done better, though I suppose that is true for everything and there is no real point in saying so. Anyway, glad we worked this out. I'm sure Yusa's magic spell helped XD |
| hope she's dead and stays dead. would be a nice change from previous key works. but we all know she wont stay dead, props cuz time travel or scientists got her which would be even better make things very interesting (^o^) |
| I think Ayumi is unfortunately dead or at very least missing at this point. The blood splattering at the end of ep. 6 could very well have been Yuu's, but judging by the sheer amount, it was more likely Ayumi's. Perhaps she died trying to save Yuu. Anyway, I think the story will take unexpected turns here. What becomes the story's main focus now that everything's been shattered? It's anyone's guess, but I think we'll have a few episodes of emotional turmoil, and hopefully by the end we'll see Yuu having found some peace with his place. |
