Great episode! The explanations were needed too. Though dumping Ayane into the ocean to let her die was quite cruel. But I enjoyed this episode a lot, even though I'm still sad that Kanaru is gone. ;_;

I'm pretty sure they didn't, I think she got out of control, killed that guy, and jumped in.

Wow, that episode was excellent! Poor Ryou :'( Now everything makes sense...

Wow, it was really nice to finally get some background on what happened that day, as well as with Ayane. I wonder if it meant Shin remembered everything, and I wonder why exactly Ayane was after his parents. I mean, it could be obvious because they were apart of what happened to her, but she didn't seem angry when Shin took them away from her-- she looked totally crushed, which confused me.

Answered some questions but left me with lots more.
- Are Yuki/Jun gone for good now?
- Why did Ayane say "In exchange for that girl, you attained your future"? Is she referring to Morimoto? If so why was her death any good to Shin? What would happen if she stayed alive?
- How did Shin and Ryou have Persona's when their parents where attacked? Did everyone unlock their Persona because they where within the area that Ayane was in?
- What was Ayane trying to do with Shin's parents? It looked like she was trying to fuse their soul/persona into hers. If so why?
- Why was Ayane devastated after Shin killed his parent's persona's?
- How did Yuki and Jun even get hurt? They where with Eiko so wouldn't she have gotten hurt too?

>.< I liked the episode a lot, I just wish more was explained. I hope these questions are answered in the last few eps.

Great, Awesome!
We got a lot of things cleared up now, and just two more episodes to go!
I already miss Morimoto though, now I have to feel bad for Shin. Tch.

For me, this has been one of the best episodes of the series. I liked it a lot, and Jun & Shin are just too cute in their chibi forms <3

What a great episode. It was great to see how the events happen instead of just hearing about them. With only two more episodes left I can't wait to see how they wrap this up.

Taku Iwasaki for you :)

And yes this series started average but it really became good and even very good now, as the story unfolds. A very much needed flashback episode, and we're all set for the grand final I guess. I really wonder what'll happen now that half of the main characters or more are dead though ;o

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Does anyone know where shin's sword came from? He pulled it out of his parent's strange persona (if you can even call it persona, they looked kind of lame tbh) but has anyone seen where it came from? (is it like his parent's persona are linked by it or something, or was it some extension from ayane's persona?)

An amazing episode! I am always so found of past episodes where we get to learn more about the characters. It was really emotional as well, can this series get any more depressing!!!

Awesome ep, really touchingly sad. Liked how it reminded me of everyone else that went through trouble, Eiko, Ryou, Itou, and pretty much everyone lol. Answered some questions but left a few more. Wish there was more Yuki.

Jun and Yuki were so cute they looked like dolls! ^^
And I think this episode was a much needed elucidation on the background of the Kanzato family. It was nice feeling the familial atmosphere

Chibi Mamiko Noto is so cute. <3
I just love her little red dress/coat/w/e you call it.

Yuki's voice is quite cute too. It sucks to see that so many people died that day 10 years ago.

Now if the whole anime could have been like that episode, both beautiful and tragic, it would be an excellent series

This was my favorite episode in this series! I love that it shows Ryou's soft loving side, I always knew he was awesome!I loved his relationship with Shin the most, so adorable:)
I'm going to miss watching this anime once I finish the last episode, it was really good!

Finally the much needed flashback episode has come, much needed after all that confusion this series has generated. Even though I have some questions now regarding Ayane like why did she jump into the ocean and why did she seems so devastated. Smoll Yuki and Jun are darn adorable... too bad what happened...
