| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was some nice screaming, Aya-sama. Good episode, provided the background info that was needed. But it looks like we're once again left speculating whether 20 Faces died or not. I hope that real thing is going to start now, with Chiko as the main protagonist. Looking forward to it. |

| I must say that that short battle between 20 Faces and that puppet chick was quite awesome. |
 |
| Interesting background but there are still too much mysteries in this show ;) And I don't really like the direction it's taking right now, I believe it could have been far better than just some old school adventure anime. |

Yeah I dunno if I really like where this series is starting to go. 20 faces appears, and then just disappears again. So what's Chiko and Ken do now, just look for him again? |

| ....I had expected more... The way it ended was terrible...he disappears yet again but this time, he tells Chiko why he disappears, just means that Chiko will most likely follow him..It keeps on repeating... The fight ended really dumb as well...so all he had to do was say "I'll stay with you" and it would have been over? Wow...that was a really lame ending.. Really...I had expected more...I liked the first few episodes a lot more.. |

AntiDentite said: Yeah, I noticed that too. I also noticed Twenty Faces seems to be invulnerable... he should have been killed at least 5 times now, I think.It really says something about a woman when a man would rather walk into an inferno than be with you. What else is missing from the puzzle now that the necklace mystery has been solved? |
| gah, im not the only one whos noticed how this show is starting to head down the suckage road. they need to pick it up again, it seems to lack the excitement it started with. |
Junk made special appearance in Nijuu Mensou no Musume. |
 |
| Well that's the end of that little bit, wonder what'll happend next... XD |
| Neh, I'm a bit surprised at the complaints. I liked this episode significantly more than the last couple. Twenty Faces left again, but really, thank God. If he had stayed, the show wouldn't have gone -anywhere-, and before he left, he gave it more direction than the rather shapeless thing it's been since after the train shooting, what with mentioning he has some -reason- for disappearing instead of doing it just for kicks. We finally received some closure to our white-haired friend, too. Learned her story, learned a good deal about Twenty Faces way back when, and took her out of the picture. Putting Chiko in a damsel in distress position, and then having her completely defy the position, was rather nice, too - fitting with Chiko. And finally no one, -no one- can keep saying "Akechi was Twenty Faces, I knew it!" because they slammed that down beyond a shadow of a doubt. I was tired of hearing that. All in all, this... was a good episode. :| Gave the show actual direction again, answered a good deal more questions than it gave this time around, everything moved at a decent space (cutting up the flashbacks and scattering them was an especially nice move, rather than throwing them all at once)... I just can't understand "Oh it's getting worse" when this is probably the best it's been since the train (with the exception of White Hair Island which I loved <3). |

| Is he dead for real this time? |
Karura said: Is he dead for real this time? No, he's pretty much definitely still alive by this point. He's got things to do, as he said. |
| I'm wondering if he doesn't have some sort of modified body as well. Look at everyone from his past -- they're all about experiments to do with turning humans into, well, superhumans. How else could he have survived so many things? Poor Ken :( I just feel awful for him. He needs someone to want to be with him and only him, too :( What do you say? Could we possibly, possibly get a love interest between him and Chiko? I can only pray xD I just marathoned the last 13 episodes, so I'm still really enjoying it. Perhaps I would feel different if I watched it on a week-to-week basis, but I love stories like this :) |
| i enjoyed this episode. this arc was good to find out what 20 faces was a little about. now i want to see the direction that chiko takes. if it the anime continues to have a try to find 20 faces, i would be a lil disappointed. it is time for chiko to take charge moreso. |
| Interesting.. so 20 faces disappears once again. There seems to be something he's hiding. I hope Chiko will catch up with him in time so that we'll find out what's really going on. |

How else could he have survived so many things? His suit too. It gets cleaned and mended while he's on the boat with Ken, I presume, since it looked ok in the following scenes >>; Anyway, this episode was much better than the previous ones, let's hope it can keep it up. |

I wouldn't be surprised if his group was studding how to make a human immortal or something and he decided to be the experiment. |

| soooo, who said akechi was 20 faces again? |
 |
| lol so the white haired girl left the stage with the audience not even knowing her name o.o |
| Most likely that he's still alive. He doesn't die that quickly. You didn't even saw him actually in the water, there was just the thing by dead puppet woman ''Oh, you're here''. Doesn't mean that he's actually dead. Chiko is probably the one who achieved the most with her abilities, as NM might not be actually completely human. NM already is pretty cool, he looks even cooler when he was younger =) Lol, how will Chiko and Ken get off that zappelin? Perhaps it's Akechi appearing with a boat or so. Wouldn't surprise me. Oh, wondering when they'll put the focus again on black haired woman and robodude with same idea as FMA again. |

| Is it me or is this becoming a freakshow more than anything? lol First the hulk, then this.. disturbing puppet.. realism's for slowpokes, huh? More like the opposite, sadly. |
NorthHawk said: Karura said: Is he dead for real this time? No, he's pretty much definitely still alive by this point. He's got things to do, as he said. If that's the case, then white hair puppet master is still alive aswell. But when he said his still got business to do in the 'darkness' I presume that meant to atone for his sins, in death. And so Chiko could not be with him, but in death he could be with white hair. ANYWAYS, it was a pretty good episode, but I didn't quite like the abrupt ending. The little fight scene between white hair and Nijuu Mensou was awesome, too bad it wasn't longer. And besides, i'm interested in where the show will go once again, hopefully towards something better. |

| I was just left wondering about the ending, when the white haired woman said "I'm alone again" and then she heard steps and turned around, smiled and said "Oh, there you are". I wonder who she was talking to. |

I wonder who she was talking to. Most likely Twenty Faces, which makes it ever so confusing on whether or not he is alive of dead. |
| Chiko must have some hidden talent I don't think its possible for someone to get as good as she did in such period of time. And for Nijuu Mensou stay dead this time. :P |

| So he was stabbed 2 times and shot, then jumps out of an aircraft with no parachute but is obviously going to be fine...

| Ahh I was right about the jilted girlfriend angle -___- |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| All this supernatural stuff doesn't go well with the genre of the show. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| I think this would have been far better if the whole show was about 20 Face's group doing missions and Chiko learning stuff. Right now, this is so very frustrating to watch... Confucius said: All this supernatural stuff doesn't go well with the genre of the show. ikr? And they even try to make that supernatural stuff look like sci-fi. This is bollocks. |
