| I felt like we went from episode 3 to 11 with nothing in between. |
| Janome really ded? well that was fast... 4/5. |
 |
| Although there are some flaws in this show, this was a good episode, i dig this animation as well. I didn't enjoy how the fight went at all, she has trained ber whole life for this and thats how it went? Idk something is missing there. It felt like the last episode tbh but i guess its just the end of"chapter 1" like they mention on the beggining of each episode. I don't know why that didn't cross my mind before but it makes a lot of sense that his brother has been feeding janome with his blood for long years. Welp she got her revenge and now what? She can't end all of this and die because she has got a kid to save. Well lets see where this goes next week.. |
| Little Sawa was so cute. Well, that episode was pretty interesting. Sawa got the revenge she was looking for. Janome is also dead and Asahi is also safe. Too bad Sawa's brother will not be able to survive. |
 |
| Is so sort battle but so intense fight battle between Sawa and Janome. I'm kidda disappointed for that, but the plot and some surprises makes it more better than that. And again wait for another week to the unknown plot. |

| Sawa was basically an idiot in her choices in this episode. 1. Become a captive and donate blood to Mr Bad Guy who killed your village. Meanwhile baby girl becomes a captive and gets bad things done to her. OR 2. Kill Mr Bad Guy before he becomes all empowered. That gets your village revenge done. Meanwhile baby girl probably gets smashed by the snakes....the same baby girl you planned to kill anyway earlier in the series. The same baby girl that wanted (and tried) to kill you earlier in the series. Hmmmm.....one way you get revenge and Mr Bad is dead. Baby girl is spared a nasty existance as a captive of the madman. The other way nothing gets done and you aid Mr Bad in his world domination. Not a hard choice in that moment. |

| This was very fast paced. It also felt like I was watching an episode which was supposed to be the second last episode. I guess they want to focus more on the life of Sawa after she finished taking revenge. Since her whole reason for living was to take revenge what is she going to live for now. What's up with the freedom that Tsukishiro mentioned. Sometimes they seem to be nice but later they act the bad guy... Even Jin and Elena seems suspicious. |
| I am severly doubting the minds of people who think this shows is confusing. The only way it would be simpler is if the characters said what they were doing while doing it. Do people just don't think about what they watch anymore? I've noticed this a lot lately: if it's not explained in detail, people say it's confusing. Pay attention, and think. It's not that hard. This show is a prime example. |
 |
| i really thought the fight with janome will be at the end of the season as the final fight, I wonder what will happen now since we still have 2/3 left |
| She was very easily to caught... Lol |

This show is a prime example. This. Honestly, I think people who don't understand that there is still a story to develop have reduced cognitive ability, since they clung to the question of revenge as if it were the only plot point, being unable to pay attention to more than one. It is very clear that there is still a whole conspiracy issue involving the government and the organization that Sawa belongs to. I can even see an internal conflict of the protagonist happening, since she will probably question herself about her own motivations to continue living, after all, until then, she based her whole life on a revenge that finally she finally got. I think it all has to do with the pacing of this series. Nowadays, anime has such a slow pace that anything faster confuses the audience. |
| Villain has snakes na eerie music? CHeck. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| This show has been straight ass so far. The only redeeming quality is the art. What a snooze-fest of boring characters I do not care at all about, convoluted plot, and poor pacing. It truly can only go up from here, hope it redeems itself soon. |
| So she got her revenge... of course it wasn't "happy ending" and the brother had to die, but it's still better than nothing, even though it's only 1/4 of the anime and her goal is already completed hmmm |

Swagernator said: So the lord voldemort wanted the main chick's blood because he can't replicate it properly (even tho he had all this time main's girls brother to use for his experiments ?), to "help the country" as it is usual motive with villians like this ... And the dude, who was actually a chick was a double spy all this time becasue ? something ? Hmm .. this episode was kinda all animation and nothing more. Im kinda missing motives of some characters. I think Tsukishiro's motive was simply to live according to his own will, and the reason he loved Sawa was that he saw her devotion to her vengeance as a "pure" form of this. Also remember that he frequently talked about how everyone had to "play their part," which considering he was born with female features, but felt he was a man, seems to imply that there's some extent to which this isn't about "fate" or "circumstances of birth" for him. Sawa deep down really, I think, always wanted to live the kind of life she has with Asahi, a simple domestic situation with love and family. In that way her character is really unlike the typical cold blooded vengeance machine who once they get their revenge seems like a hollow person. That identity was just a mask that Sawa needed to put on to move forward, but Tsukishiro wanted that Sawa to be the real Sawa. So I don't think Tsukihiro really had any allegiance to either side, so much as he was trying to manipulate the events so that he and Sawa were both "characters" he felt they should be, especially Sawa. I do think his character was kind of a weird overcomplicated inclusion, and kind of annoying... but I guess he helped move the plot forward and bring some of the mystery to light. |
| (English) Congratulations Jouran, you brought up a problem and it's making me scared about the continuity of the story. Unfortunately what happened in this episode was something to be expected. Sawa has defeated Janome and his revenge is complete. She is reunited with her brother, but ends up in a decision between saving him or saving Asahi. It's an episode that would have ended well Jouran if it were the final moment of the show, but unfortunately that didn't happen. It seems that the script needed to vilify a moment in history to continue. Let's see if the rest will convince. (Portuguese/Português) Parabéns Jouran, você evidenciou um problema e me está dando medo sobre a contunuidade da história. Infelizmente o que aconteceu nesse episódio era algo esperado. Sawa derrotou Janome e está com sua vingança concluída. Ela reencontrou seu irmão, mas termina numa decisão entre salvá-lo ou salvar Asahi. É um episódio que concluiria bem Jouran, se fosse o momento final do show, mas infelizmente isso não ocorreu. Parece que o roteiro precisou vilanizar um momento da história para continuar. Vamos ver se o restante vai convencer. |
| I don't think there was ever really a choice for Sawa between saving her brother or Asahi. Her brother was like minutes away from death and nothing could be done for him at that point (blind, feeling almost no heat despite the room being hot enough for metal to literally melt). You could argue the only choice was between saving Asahi or leaving her behind. As for Janome, he wasn't that interesting a character; the "mad scientist who wants power" archetype has been done to death and he doesn't have much of a personality. Judging by how soon he died, it's clear that he isn't the final boss, more of a lackey among many. The supernatural battles are, oddly enough, the least interesting part of this show to me. The blue flame and bone effects are pretty interesting but the Janome battle wasn't that visually appealing with the green-cyan-magenta color scheme, and Janome himself just seemed to freeze up and accept it when Sawa got close to him. It's much more interesting when Sawa fights in "human" mode, and her shoujo transformation is getting kinda tiresome to watch. |
| Such a lackluster villain. |
| Didn't expect Tsukishiro to be a double spy and even more on Janome already being defeated so early in the series. Well at least Asahi got saved, too bad about Sawa's brother though. |
