Hmm, more action this episode. About time.

What I find the episode slightly more interesting is how there's cyber technology used as weapons of war. Not that I mind it but seems rather weird. Gotta admire Mikoto's friend for putting his life in danger above his own though.

End of the trip. KajiKaji's character immediately act and met up kekkai girl and the people who abducted. He have to kill his father, though. Going through the soldiers while talking to "his father", and he starts to talk about the one he loves. He would use everyone just to revive her. Kekkai girl's purpose is to undo the code of the program there.

The father plans to make KajiKaji's character a robot. The love of them stopped him. The father understood and led them go. They are able to escape.

Reset going on next. (ED airing in another verse? sounded like this ep. is finale or one ep. before finale, but actually there are two more eps. left)

Okay, so they finally reach the end of their "Destination", or something like that. I guess all that's left is the confrontation and maybe extra scene of Kakeru's searching for Koharu. Right?

Although it's not flawless, I really like how the routes are combined and the story told in the anime.
Favorite part was Kakeru using his powers to fight the robots. Things like that are just better with movement xD

Naming the original route for each scene is starting to get tricky, they also keep on taking information from Last Era.

It's been a while since I played the original but Natsuhiko being shot did happen in his route right? At least it should be, since Mikoto is a kind of Femme Fatale, haha.

At first I was confused at the tower, but then I remembered it from a certain Last Era route (it only appears/is spoken about in one). There was also Motohisa among the others when hearing about Aion's circumstances, although he did not have any lines.

Rest under a spoiler button just in case (Last Era spoilers, though they are slight if you have seen this episode)


Some thoughts about the coming episode, original game spoilers


I'm glad Kakeru wasn't really brainwashed but I hoped for Koharu to step in much earlier :/

Akito's entry at the end <3

Man I need the soundtrack so badly ;_; I kept looping episode 8 just for the OST, some of the good tracks are back in this one.

Did Natsuhiko just change the future by saving Mikoto? I like him more than one dimensional Sakuya so I will be bummed if he dies just like that.

Don't really like Kakeru (and he went full Eren Jaeger in this episode, too) and Koharu but I guess love prevails against all odds so they made it out of it, but thanks to Syukuri. I hope they give me more Syukuri and Namami moments in the remaining two episodes because they are my favourite couple in the anime.

So, this will be the last reset if it takes place? I dunno. I will have to wait to get the answer. Too many confusing things happening in this episode.

Episode felt more like a conclusion, but with two more episodes, they're really doing the reset, huh. Kakeru and Koharu successfully got through Shiro, but Natsuhiko gets harmed while protecting Mikoto . Alright episode. Hope they'll reveal more about Sorata and Natsuhiko soon.

No, not at all. The Reset part will be taken from it, but I think Mikoto is going to stay with Natsuhiko.

The anime combines routes, like how Koharu is the one to go away with Yuiga, not Kakeru, which only occurs in Senri's.

The episode is more action I like it. Natsuhiko injured for protecting Mikoto, I like it too.

But if he die, I will erased all of NORN9 episode from my PC. Shift+Delete.

It's not that I hate Sakuya. I dislike him, not hate. If he is the main hero for Mikoto, so why Otomate put Natsuhiko in main visual? If Sakuya is the main, just put him in, not Natsuhiko. Don't put Natshiko's fans hope up, Otomate

Wait....So The Traveler isn't Kakeru's biological dad?

They said he's been a robot for like 1000 years and is waiting for his wife to reincarnate, so I'm a little confused on when Kakeru was conceived if he really is his son

Up to now I still don't understand how Mikoto can be so subservient to Natsuhiko. She met him not two episodes ago, and thus far he hasn't done anything to her in the anime that warrants her change in attitude towards him as anything more than a kidnapper, bar the night watching scene. I just can't see why she would even follow his orders when he tells her not to follow Kakeru in to save Koharu. So you'll just ignore giving your friend a helping hand to save your other friend that's being held captive just because your kidnapper says so? Even when your friend is here to help you to escape from said kidnapper? It's pretty dumb if you ask me.

Have not played the game, so none of the things that "happened" there affect my opinion of things, so as much as they have shown in the show thus far, I haven't seen anything thus far prior to that moment to show Natsuhiko being an option for her. Even if I don't see Sakuya getting with Mikoto, as far as interactions and backstories shown in the anime, I still get the feeling that Sakuya is the more viable choice. And don't quote me about the guy getting shot, that happened after the points I made occurred.
What makes her so convinced that what Natsuhiko's doing is so right that she would have his back so that he can shut down the "reset" system that is essentially her and all her friend's main purpose of existence? I just don't get it.

That said, I still find things pretty stupid here. So Mikoto AND Kohaku get kidnapped and you all head to the World and just EXPECT both of them to show up eventually? Why was there no active search for Mikoto?
With Kakeru wanting to save Kohaku, it's less of an annoyance, but why do these people keep expecting that their friends who have been kidnapped/abducted will just be suddenly set free to join them when the time is right? Do they really expect people trying to stop them from performing the reset to NOT keep Mikoto from reaching the World so that they accomplish their objectives? Again, it's another dumb plot hole for me.

And for being a robot, that dad sure is fucking illogical.
Asks Koharu: would you be alright if Kakeru dies? All the while being the very person to beat the crap out of Kakeru.... seriously???

Asks Kakeru: become a robot like me so that you won't have to experience losing the love of your life (specifically after saying earlier in the same episode that he's been suffering for thousands of years to see the love of his life that died...) EVEN IF Koharu dies, you'll "gain eternal love"...... lol, wut?

And another thing... why the heck is Kohaku still staying around with the dad again? Even after finding out all the shady stuff that he's doing and especially when he's beating the crap out of the guy you like? Why is she even standing up there? So after watching him get beat is okay, but when he starts getting brainwashed that's when things are not okay? The dad's logic has been totally flawed from the start, why the heck are you even standing around with him? How dumb is this scene actually?

Then that ending.... "Koharu lets burn everything!" Raises plants from the ground. Suddenly the dad is on the ground and everything that he said about delaying the reset suddenly becomes moot "Just because"? Just because Kakeru spouted some sensible words and magically raised plants from the ground? That's all it took to make him change his mind? Eh...?

Can someone tell me if the Game actually explains all those plot holes? Because thus far none of those things have made sense. Are things so illogical in the game as well?

As for the shot, Natsuhiko is totally fine, it hit him on the right side, so unless he has a weird body structure, he's not dead for sure. The "NTR" is strong in this one.

Dad be like "yo sun everything is fair in love and war yo"
What a weird guy though. Like. You are hitting your son but you want his mom back. Very nice.

Mikoto pls. Like. Where the hell is your barrier when people need it?

Koharu be like "Eternal love? No thanks once is enough, lol." But yea, she is right. Kakeru's dad is really selfish, imposing his ideals on others.

Okay episode. They almost killed the best boy for Mikoto, hope he survives.

So Kakeru can use that ear cuff to locate his father? How ... I guess his power is stronger than he initially showed us. Shiro was completely obsessed with his late wife huh ... well, obviously Kakeru and Koharu manage to convince him otherwise, yada yada. I would've liked to see a dark AU where he brainwashes Kakeru ... now THAT'D be interesting :P The music when Kakeru made all those thick vines grow was pretty nice though. Just saying, they totally could have saved him if Kakeru held his father and Koharu jumped on her own to the ship ... oh well, guess they didn't really care about him that much anyway. Looks like in the preview they're going with the Reset after all ... and I wonder if Aion will become more important? :O
