| Absolutely beautiful episode. I loved how they actually introduced a formidable Phantom for once after dealing with all those of the "Phantom of the Week" fair for so long. Enigma using Haruhiko's mother as a handicap was not cool though. I get the feeling that once everything calms down again, his mom is just gonna run off to her new husband and abandon him again. Still, her playing with the girls at the dinner table was awesome while it lasted. I think the reason why Ruru fainted was because she was created by Haruhiko's psyche and his ability. The fact that she's still here gives me hope that not ALL of his powers were stolen though. Oh, and Enigma's Vampiric design was smexy as heck. I'm willing to bet that she's actually something that she was "accidentally" created by the Arayashiki. Can't wait to see what happens in the Finale. |

| I agree the one negative is that this episode came so darn late. This was such a strong episode that it just reminds you how much time we utterly wasted. The plot was put on hold for almost the entire show and only now does it kick into gear. Even the best episode next week can still only bump this show to a 6/10. 2-3 strong episodes out of 13 just isn't enough. Although to be fair this was really darn good. Enigma is a great threat and a scary one. Of course you knew she was going to pop up behind Mai when she was on the phone. I mean come on...She was faced away from the dining area, in a dark space and talking about an important topic...of course Enigma was going to pop up. Props to Mai though she wasn't KO'd with one shot. She was hurt, but she dug in her heels. She isn't the fighter of the team for nothing. Mental stcarsd for life for Haruhiko. 1. His mother never intended to contact him or come home. 2. Enigma took over his mother. 3. His mother/Enigma stole his powers by kissing him.....that's all messed up. In the end Enigma messed with the harem...she's going to suffer. It was a good episode. The mother was weird from the start and you figured rather quickly it was probably Enigma in some way. Even Ruru was mirroring my own thoughts with saying "this is weird." At least I can now say I'm looking forward to the last episode. |
| Yeah, that was a bit scary. Them kisses, though. #hawt#incest#lol |
 |
| damn... that was brutal. All I can really think about is how devastated Haruhiko is going to be when he realizes his mom didn't really come back to him. ._. |

| I want to see a season 2 solely because of how everyone is reacting to this episode. The next volume gets so much darker but I doubt we'll ever get to see that animated |
| Really enjoyed this episode. Really curious about how they are going to end it. |

| I extremely enjoyed this episode, can't wait for the finale, interested to see how it's wrapped up. |
Tokoya said: This truly is the season of the anime moms lol A bit weird but oh well |
| When the plot finally advances.... ...one ep left. |
 |
| That feeling when you suddenly want more episodes after watching this but... the next episode will be the last. And for once, I've finally witnessed a full-blown frontal kiss scene from KyoAni. (Unlike Kanon, Clannad Kyou OVA, Chuunibyou, etc) |

SoraSenpai said: This was actually a really good episode, made it feel like it actually had a plot too. Mai is going to be the hero. She was punched in the gut and was struggling but somehow she'll manage to defeat Enigma and save Haruhiko. Ruru I guess is knocked out because Haruhiko created her and Enigma stole his powers so that makes her inactive? I mean if that was the case I feel she would just disappear. Maybe she got hit and I didn't catch it. Just went back and watched it, she was still floating when Haruhiko was being drained but dropped right after. The table scene was sweet and funny, when they all twitched when his mother asked "So which one wants to marry my son?" lol good stuff. EDIT: Also I really enjoyed the background music. Gave it a nice fighting feel to it. Finally some actual plot and not just individual episode. Both last week's and this week's episodes have been interesting. Enigma was hot. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
| This episode was just as good as the last. They had some great facial expressions this time LOL. Why do Haruhiko always have to experience sad things like these ? Enigma in mom mode sure knows how to raise harem flags.. they're totally dancing in her palms. Haruhiko has such a cool ability huh.. that explain him learning Mai's ability before. But still no clue about that broken device and the deal with Ruru though. That kiss oh my god.. that's so hot. Enigma sure knows her stuff. Kyoani sure knows how to drop a bomb in the end. Looking forward to the final episode. |
| Wow, it's a bit of a shame that this anime's best episodes are towards the end. |
| Huh, thought this was the last episode. Holy shit! This anime has an actual problem!! This Enigma phantom is scary as hell. I just knew it would appear behind Mai when she went to the hall. Didn't expect it to have possesed his mother, just to have changed her appearance. Imm gonna have nightmares about her appearning behind Mai. That was just too creepy... |
MrJc said: And worst thing is the real mom had no intention of seeing her son. Now that is shitty. Stealing his powers is one thing but giving him false hope that his mom actually cared tisk tisk That's going to be a horrible realization for him when his mom comes too and doesn't remember anything or that none of that was true what she told him while possessed. Or it could go the other way and the enigma knew the mothers true feelings and spoke them too him. She did lie about breaking up with her husband though as he's the one that called in her disappearance. Great back to back episodes, but why the eff did they wait till the last 3-4 episodes to make this into a decent anime? If they had this material early on it would be a lot more popular. Here's hoping the season doesn't end on a cliffhanger as it probably won't have a second season. |
 |
| Hey, an episode with actual good plot. Can't wait to see what happens next week. |

I... don't entirely dislike this. |
~||Sky of the Night Light||~  |
| Damn, really addictive episode! O_O A real blow this sudden change in the narrative, the story suddenly receives a nice push forward, I'm really happy with everything. ;) Drawings and animations, very good, after this episode expectations have grown exponentially, I can not wait to watch the latest episode. This is true quality, good KyoAni. IceBreakerZ said: Wow shit just got real.  This scene was such a sudden creepy change of atmosphere, I actually got goosebumps from it. *ビックリ, びっくり* Mascera said: Time to action for the girls. One more Episode and they're just adding more excitement into it. Excluding that "Mother Kiss" though. LOL  Don't forget to buy all the books Very funny. |

| It might've taken KyoAni a while to get some really strong episodes out, but this one continues the trend of the last two being great. Enigma's one lovely looking phantom, but her power level makes all of other phantom enemies before her look pathetically weak. Even a group of 3 people cannot do a single thing against her as she easily defeats and steals her foe's powers. The timing with Ichijo's mother returning and Enigma's sudden disappearance was a bit easy to piece together, but it was still well done though. Her sudden appearance behind Mai in the hallway was unexpectedly scary. Also, I'm wondering if KyoAni has hit themselves on their head or something. Usually, they never show a lip-lock kiss, whether from love or by accident, at all, but suddenly, we get two in one episode alone. A change of heart perhaps? I'm wondering now is that if Enigma gets more and more powers from other people, she might become almost unbeatable. Hopefully that won't happen... |
| What a great turn of events, the anime became more exciting than I expected, the final boss finally appeared and has caused a great commotion among the girls and especially with the protagonist, this was certainly an unexpected change in the plot events Poor Haruhiko, besides being used and deceived by the Phantom, while thought to be in a happy moment, not yet had the wish fulfilled to have her mother at his side, she really abandoned him and had not intended to return to stand beside of Haruhiko, and in the end he still had his stolen powers This was the best episode so far of the adaptation, many amazing events took place, and a good thriller was left for the final episode, I'm looking forward to the end of this anime, since I had placed high expectations before this adaptation begin, and now really hope a great end to this anime .. |
  |
| Probably my favorite episode so far. I love how Kyoani handles those bonding moments with Haru and his mom.It felt pretty touching to watch honestly. They also want to make those ships happen it seems, with all the love questions and the girl responses. .. Overall a really enjoyable episode with a cliffhanger, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I love the mom's design and, although it's kinda wrong, I like how the kiss scenes looked with the pretty backgrounds and lighting, very wallpaper worthy. Kyoani going all out on these last 2. |
 |
| One of the much better episodes of the show. Really liked this one, despite the heart-wrenching ending for Haruhiko. Admittedly, now that I see an episode like this, it makes me wish they had done an episode or two that's more plot based somewhere in the middle of the series too. But again, I fail to see the real issue with the Slice of Life episodes in a Slice of Life kind of show. Seeing those older guys near the beginning makes me want Kyo-Ani to do a Seinin kind of show. It really is too bad Haruhiko's mom didn't come back of her own free will. Really, that's just the worst part about the whole situation. Hopefully there will be some kind of bonding after this is done. Oh no, Ruru chan! I hope she'll be ok. |
| This ep showed how much potential this show had. It felt like the first 2-3 eps + ep 12 and 13 are canon and the rest are filler. Truly unfortunate. Although I enjoy the show, it would have been much better received had it been structured differently and with more focus. This Enigma plot, Ruru's existence likely being tied to Haruhiko's powers, his parents, the Alayashiki company.. I mean they have all these interesting things but only focus on it for 1/3 of the show. |
 |
| damn that's a hot phantom |
 |
| So plot advances in the second to last episode. Did not expect this kind of episode, that change of atmosphere at the end. Really interested to see how they will go against Enigma in the next episode. Shit just got real. And... She is one fine milf ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| Unlike most anime where it starts good and gets progressively worse, it seems Phantom has done a complete U-turn Kinda weird when episode 1 was basically https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7haTy4woVM and all the countless memes from the limbo dance. There are also these hints that Haruhikos abilities are fan more potent than the cute fluffy summons we have seen so far. |
| 7:00 "it seems the victims had their special abilities stolen" >The phantom must be Yuu from Charlotte. >Case closed. |
~my list
| This episodes and like the previous 3 or so have been really good, why couldn't the first 8 episodes have been like this? |
| Here I thought Enigma was the mom, she was just possessed. We finally see something more serious and more challenging. |

| Personally, I believe this anime has been consistently entertaining... Definitely one of my favorites this season...thank God I don't allow the opinions of goddamn MALers sway what to watch or enjoy. |
This is awesome! I like incest now. Incest relationship wins! Now I am going to continue watching this anime, because of this. LOL. |
| a bit late but the anime finally take direction outside of all the ridiculous fanservice and it was great... best episode so far, looking forward to the final episode. |

| Wow this episode was epic, probably the best episode! Never expected that this anime would be this good. Haruhiko's mother is so lovely, i feel bad that she has been possessed by a phantom :/ Girls actually liked her, she was so sweet to everyone, but all that time, it wasn't his mother, just the Enigma with his mother's body... And that ending :( Haruhiko is without powers now and as it seems it affected Ruru's too. I don't even know how are they planning to catch such a strong phantom, and after everything, will Haruhiko's mother stay with him? Or she will leave him again? Can't wait to see the last episode!! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I had a feeling his mom is a phantom and I am right at that. Haruhiko lose his ability which is said to be super strong if he know how to use it. Next episode is the last and damn that incest kiss tho. |
 |
| So damn rushed... |
 |
| Shit, that just got really serious and interesting. Sucks that it had to happen so late in this show, since they wasted so many episodes on weird situations. The mom though. Damn, she looks so good. |
  |
| I knew it all along that there was something up with his mom and continued to loathe her for leaving him. Now that I know that she really didn't come back to him on her own, I'm so pissed and my heart hurts so much. Can we just erase his memories? #ProtectHaruhiko2016 This anime has come really far and gotten better each episode so I hope the rating goes up and that more people will come to watch it. |
| Freaking amazing episode. I wasn't sure where Myriad Colors Phantom World was going when it started, but man the feels are strong with this. Haruhiko being abandoned by his parents was painful to hear about last episode but then his mom coming back and then it turning out she didn't come back of her own free will was worse. Really hyped for the conclusion next episode and hope we get another season. From what I've heard about the LNs, shit gets crazy. |
 |
| Man I called all this stuff like episode 2. I feel so proud of myself. |
| My own mother abandoning me as a kid made these last few episodes really hit home. I almost started crying last episode and I'm really pissed now. His mother was never going to reunite with him. Then the phantom tricked him like that... Its gonna be a hard watch for me next week. |
 |
| Why the fuck is so show so lowly related. Holy shit. It fell down an entire point and is one of the lowest rated shows this season. |
| No wonder Koito have many fan girls, I ship her and Mai LOL So, it was not a surprise that the mom was Enigma, it was obvious, the only thing different was the eye color and the soft face. |
