| god i was shocked seeing toru stacked ;__; i really hoped he would meet natsuno once again before that would happen... i also started to hate muroi and sunako... this idontwanttokillanyone is just...pfff... and the people at the shrine still got killed because of him, and sunako... she lived a way to long. and i felt bad for masao ._. |
 |
| Wow. Why does everyone hate Sunako? She wasn't selfish in her actions in anyway. Natsuno is the one who needs to be impaled ten times over. |
| Totally sick! I was disgusted at how the humans were drinking tea with blood everywhere as if nothing happened and how they keep killing innocent people just for fun... Totally brutal and gore... I almost puked. This is insanely wrong. I hope the shiki (Sunako) survives. But we see how humans can be terrible and how shikis can be good. |

| Aww... poor monk... |

Inugirlz said: and im sorry the first scene in the episode sold me. The villagers are just disgusting. They were friggin smiling and drinking tea and eating rice balls around dead bodies. i guess this is where fact and fiction comes in.I mean even tho the whole 'shiki' idea is fiction if this really happened in real life i know that at least ppl wouldnt be smiling and eating food with blood all over their hands. Uh, actually, people smiling and eating with the dead and dying all around is not fiction, at all. Its happened plenty of times in history. I guess one pretty big example is Vlad the Impaler. He held banquets inside a ring of dead and dying humans stuck onto pikes, and often had someone tortued while he ate for entertainment. Humans can be quite fucked up. |
Maidloid said: Wow. Why does everyone hate Sunako? She wasn't selfish in her actions in anyway. Natsuno is the one who needs to be impaled ten times over. Killing others to lengthen your own life isn't selfish? Feeling the fear of death to the point that she is, even though she has killed so many before her, doesn't make her a selfish person? (As in, "It's okay as long as it does not happen to me!") Why Natsuno? Man, he seems to be one of the only ones in this series who can keep his act together and think clearly in just about any situation. He's one of the few that deserves to live. |
| Brutal episode As great as the past few episodes have been, they better show kaori and akira again! They have barely appeared in the past few episodes D: |
Superluccix said: I wonder why the Kirishiki guy killed the female Jinrou. I guess Natsuno convinced him. Not convinced. Controlled. If you go back to that part again you can see the bite marks on his arm. Natsuno bit him and ordered him to wait for a Jinrou to come by, then kill them. |
    |
| wow i was freaked out at the beginning xD |
 |
| The episode just proves that you don't have to be a blood sucking creature to be a monster :D |
| Now we see how dark is the other side of human nature. Masao's sister <3 Having a teabreak and eating riceballs with corpses around is just disgusting but I find it funny.. lol I lol'ed when she invited Masao inside with her weapon. xD Also, Tohru and Ritsuko is just tragical to watch :( I was like O_o when the middle-aged nurse running with her undergarments. X [ About the end w/ the Junior Monk, I don't know how to react with that. :( Edit: I wonder how's Natsuno, Megumi and the siblings are doing. |

| I hope that Megumi and Sunako live. I really want to know what happened to Akira and Kaoru though! |
shadowii said: 1.What does Natsuno's stance mean to you? It rather puzzles me. So your best friend gets killed, yet comes back virtually unchanged. You get turned into a awesome immortal with basically no rules or limitations. What do you do? 'I'M GONNA KILL EVERYONE! (and hope to die myself as well)' God, I'm really starting to hate misantropic people. Or are you saying Natsuno fights against Shiki for he is a noble hero who has developed a deep love for the village (witch he openly claims to dislike) and all of it's inhabitants? Pff. To me he is just an angsty wuss who, out of some adolescent stubbornness, refuses to adapt. shadowii said: 2.What does it mean to you that 90% of the shiki side were villagers prior to dieing? It means that the 'living' villagers are not just killing some foreign horde, trying to drive them out of their homes but butchering their own friends and families. |
| Whenever you correct someone's grammar just remember that nobody likes you. |
| wow this show turns into a slaughter feast :P |
 |
| The blood looks kinda purple to me :S, but wow THIS IS MADNESS! |
| i hate it how the humans has turned into barbarians. killing innocent people. they have turned into the creatures they fear most. in my opinion, they worse than the shikis... most of them has lost their conscience. this series is so fucked up! |
SwordWielder said: Can someone please tell me... Why is Muroi helping the shikis and sunako? I still don't get it... He explained his real wish referring his story this week. first, he felt sympathy for shikis who have become a monster without their intent, because, to him, shikis seemed to be completely equal to living people. People kill animals to live, shikis kill humans to live, because it's necessary for them. So, he couldn't accept to kill shikis. And, he's born in a temple as head monk's son, he needed to be a good, kind, and nice man as villagers expect him to be. He was quite bored and tired of his life. He wanted to jettison his burden and become free. But there was no place for him to escape to. So he slashed his wrist and attempted to die. The young brother of the story is probably his self-projection. But he didn't die and so he become the young monk as people want him to be. That’s why he said "If what Sunako said is true, perhaps I have some intent to kill against the village” on the end of epsode 19. He is no better than dead mentally. So he's gone to the dead side. Because, he could felt more sympathy for shiki than for living people. I thought of those kind of things about him. Well, it's just my conjecture though. |

So, is it wise to put the ENTIRE blame of Seishin's family massacre on Seishin and not on the villagers that did it? Did the villagers have some kind of moral immunity in your mind? So, let's say your parents murdered one of my relatives. Then, do I have the right to say that I can kill you because of what your parent did? And there is absolutely no blame on me, really? You deserved it? I don't think putting 100% the blame on Seishin is logical. |

| Such is the law of the nature ... you kill to survive . I enjoyed the moment when they were drinking tea near the dead ... If I can call them dead , to begin with . Sunako is just a cry baby ! WTF !? I kinda expected smth more from her ... is her mind still of a 6 yr old girl !? lol . Seishin is a retarded man ... I can't understand why the hell is he doing this !? He just got rid of his family by himself ... and helps the person wich started all this shite ... |

I don't think putting 100% the blame on Seishin is logical. The moment Seishin entered his house is the moment he dragged all its inhabitants into the bloodbath. Villagers have become "hunters". You can say that they are "out of their minds". They can't think properly, thay can only react, because otherwise there's a good chance you get a bullet in your head or a pair of fangs in your neck. Seishin's family didn't know he's home, and because of that it looked like they're covering for him. And for villagers that ment they were shikis allies, an enemy. And any sign of hostility would be enough for the "hunters" to kill them. I'm not saying that whichever side is "right" or "wrong". Neither of them is. But the one who brang hunters to Seishin's house is Seishin himself. You could expect that his relatives might get hurt as the result. |
| Sorry for grammar mistakes(if any), english is not my native language. Feel free to correct me if you see some. |
| Omg this episode is insane. The villagers should die and not the shikis! They are far much worse than shiki |
 |
| Ahh the darkness of the human heart. The opening scene of the episode was so disturbing in a good way; the perfect picture of how they adjusted to the oddity. I am guessing Sensei will die from the ordered guy, Natsuno will kill Megumi, and then ask to be killed himself. I don't think Sunako will live and personally don't care either way. Took me a while to figure out why he shot the jinrou XD (Genocide goodness 10/10) |
YuliLake said: If Sunako dies, i will cry! Villagers are the worst. Yeah, because obviously it was the villagers who started the killing, right? Sunako will most likely survive, while the village will probably be destroyed by all the people who have given into insanity and paranoia. Either way, the ending is very obvious and predictable at this point. |
StormViruz said: Yay. I didn't notice that. Anyway, my suspicion was still right.. :D Thnx BTW.. No problem. Glad to help. tensainobaka said: Unless I missed it, I don't understand Moroi's take on shiki--meaning why he is going so far for Sunaco and why he was even at the house. Didn't he go on his own? I said it before and I'm saying it again, where is Natsuno? I thought he'd have a much bigger part in the series. Yes, Muroi went there of his own free will. I want to say he's taking a neutral stance, but I can't say that since he is directly helping the Shiki by protecting Sunako. I think he just kind of wants everyone to stop the killing. He seems to sympathize with the Shiki and their situation since he's a monk and all. I find it kind of weird that he's helping the ones responsible for all the deaths in the village, though. Maybe he has a soft spot for Sunako since he befriended her before he knew she was a shiki. Maybe a manga reader can shed more light on it for you. As for Natsuno, I think he's doing things behind the scenes. An example this episode is how he controlled Seishirou, making him take out a Jinrou. Although I wish he'd have a little more direct intervention in the story, I think he has to be careful since the villagers are out on patrol looking for shiki. He is, after all, known to be deceased. |

| Nice ep. Those folks are crazy. They go all the time covered in blood and a pile of bodies doesn't bother them. After all, is the perfect setting for a meal and tea. I wonder if Sunako finally manages to escape. Another issue is whether they will be some consequences, killing Shiki may be hidden, but they also kill ordinary people. There was so many Shiki's, why they didn't do any attack on a large scale? I knew that Masao was stupid but this is too much. Seishin probably die but that's to be expected. I wonder if Yoshie surely die. Tatsumi was stabbed but not killed. I know it's a difference but in the end they are werewolves. Well, unless it was a silver bullet. |
 |
| The villagers definitely went to far, but when you think about it, it makes sense that they'd do that. They've already killed and have to be constantly ready for the Shiki, that kind of a situation must put a huge strain on your mental stability so props to the makers of Shiki because they really did a good job presenting the aftershocks and whatnot. I was definitely disappointed when Tohru died though. He was my favorite character, and while I knew he had to die, I just didn't expect his death to be like... That. He just didn't get any closure, heck, he and Natsuno didn't even get reunited after he become a Shiki/Jirou then bam. Dead. Such an anticlimatic one at that. orz I wasn't even sad enough to cry, his death was one of the biggest disappointments of the show for me at the moment. I do have to say that I appreciated the brilliance of what Natsuno probably did with Seishirou though. |
 |
| yeah why does everyone like sunako? she is the most annoying anime character ever, not to mention biggest coward/pussy ever.i would go chris brown on her rhianna ass, it just pisses me off how she uses people to survive, she killed many yet she's afraid of death wtf? she should learn from ritsuko, if i was a shiki i would've done wit ritsuko did. |
 |
| So,i have calmed down...i can discuss,lol The intro was brutal and i laughed at the whole ridic situation..."this one is still alive...oh,i am going to stake him...done,let´s have some tea and onigiri with corpses lying around,lolz" I though the negligé nurse is dead after the wild dogs caught her and i was like:"oh shit,poor Ritsuko and Tohru just let her go and now som fcukin dogs are going to eat her like whatever" Masao...i am gonna miss you just because your seiyuu is damn amazing...but beside it i almost went to open some champagne so i can celebrate that he is(most likely and hopefully)dead. Sunako and Tatsumi...why are you still alive...die already. Gackt...eh,Seishirou...killed(?) the boring chick.He changed his mind thanks to Natsuno?...probably not really willingly:) Seishin´s father...he just wanted to die...it must have been really horrible for him when he raised from dead. R.I.P Ritsuko and most importantly Tohru...killing one of my faves characters two times is not nice...have been tearing up again.I thought Natsuno is going to kill him...they would have epic emotional reunion once again...and then they both would die together and my inner yaoi fangirl would be happy...but the screenwrites are trools,boo.(oh,but i have read really pretty Natsuno x Tohru doujin yesterday so i am ok XD) Now,the villagers are pretty paranoic...but i would be too if some fcukin vampires wanted to take my blood and life.Though,those few men with greek god old dude...i does not aapprove of them killing Seishin´s mom and people in temple...that was pretty disgusting. Seishin...i am pretty indifferent to him...no hard feelings. What i forgot?...oh yeah... WHERE IS KAORI? |
| I'd actually prefer for Sunako to die :/ Guess I'm a jerk hope it ends good :) or interesting |
