| AWESOME, just awesome nothing beats the brutallity of a kid being stabbed in the gut by an cute and crazy girl !! |
 |
| Minene needs moar screentime I don't know if I can classify the kid as either yandere or yangire. I'll have to say simply ax crazy, since while he did adore Yuno, his obsession with her was blatantly murderous. Retrospectively, I feel bad for the lad. To a degree that is, since being a diary owner means black and grey morality right off the bat. But Minene is the only one shining in morals. Ah, Minene. So kind, showing mercy like that. |
| I'm glad the kid is done for, never liked him to begin with. Yuno was great as usual 5/5. |
| This ep confuses me - though it was good; eventful and interesting featuring one story, it was still a massive cliche... The dreaded main character law!... Why do we (the viewer) accept that the story bends around the mains? Many other characters are just as relivant in the plot portrayed, yet we all know that we're only going to see the mains threw to the end, universal order works only in their favour and any competition will be wiped out accordingly. We have a child genious of Yuno level - clearly, this isn't allowed. The super out-of-place Yuki comes to the rescue in the nick of time (convenient timing) on the few occasions Yuno drops her gaurd and/or is in genuien peril, as if to prove he does have a place within the series. Yuno manages to race threw a gas leak merly holding her breath and survives electrocution - a new burst of energy from a single gob full of co2 breath. All above = not only convenient, but predictable. Before anyone gets confused: - I'm not suggesting a main should get bumped off - I don't disslike the mains (Liked Yuno straight away, Yuki, not so much - typical character type) - This is no reflection on any character type or story demegraphic connected - I'm not complaining about the story in general (Battle Roayle portrays a similar story effectively well + I'm not comparing) - I'm at an age and stage where such events just don't suprise me, plus, I understand the need to maintain fanfare Dispite all this - 4/5 ep. |

| From reading the manga, I've always felt that the story is very aware of the concept of a Deus ex Machina. I mean, there's a character called that! That's why the diaries themselves have that concept built into them. The perfectly timed saves typically revolve around people checking their diary and knowing exactly what they need to do or where they need to be and at what times (or what not to do, or where not to be). It feels a little loose at times, but it also easily solves most questions of the perfect timing or how things end so conviently for the main characters. The good ol' predictability of the main characters making it all the way to the end is still a valid point, but it is watered down somewhat by the idea that it's less about the result and more about how they get there. Things are going to get very complicated before you reach the end of any good story, and I personally think Mirai Nikki is no exception, and that's where the true joy lies here. |
| Another awesome episode it never disappoints. I thought it was funny how Yuki ran up and kissed Yuno on the the steps and later she was like I will protect Yuki and stapes that little bastard. Too bad it got censored. |

ShizuoCell said: Quite interesting! I'm still curious why 9th didn't kill when at the end. (non manga reader) In manga 9th says she wants a more spectacular revenge killing than just letting him die of poison gas--however she also warns him about Yuno and what the inevitable result will be if they make it to the final two. Are there some conflicting emotions there? A bigger question is just what sort of a game 4th is playing by keeping 9th on a string? (I only read the relevant chapter for this arc after watching it, so I really don't know much about what is upcoming in the show.) |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| They skipped the 9th lines like rodac said =( , that was bad. i hate the murmur thing at the end , it would be ok if we were fine on time , but they kinda have to rush things or skip some cool dialoges. next arcs gonna be awesome , and from now on it will only improve until the last chapters. |

| I read the manga ahead, and yeah, this was the most boring arc so far. But still, the anime did a great job adapting it. Gave it a 4/5. Next episode, Nagisa Kaworu appears! Can't wait! |
Vanisher said: BS there were movies being shown that killed kids but you are right that there are far fewer now with kids being killed directly. Before it was no problem. World got less liberal so go figure why it's like that with new laws.oh by the way , the censor wasnt probably because of gore , it was because of him being a child. In movies is completly ilegal to show a kid being killed DIRECTLY , maybe is it also ilegal in jap TV does anyone know of an anime that shows a less than 6 year old being killed? |
| Yuno! WHY YOU SO COOL? |

| I like how the anime changes some small things which secretly makes the anime version of Yuno way more awesome. When the kid was like "When you have to fight Yuki, what will you do?", Yuno looked incredibly desperate and shocked in the manga but in the anime, she sneakily put up an evil smile. Dat smile. Yuno is too awesome. |

Well, if I recall correctly, Fate Stay Night - UBW had a scene where a cute loli's heart got ripped out, but... - it's in a fantasy setting - Illya is - Illya is These elements dampened the impact. I... dont think she is less that 6 years old in fate stay , it doesnt matter if she's a loli lol. back to mirai nikki , that's the only explanation i find , i mean , if they just censored it for "gore" it was pretty lame , its just a fucking stabbed knife. |

| i have seen god and it is mirai nikki - this episode was so amazing - it made my whole horrendous day of work and walking in endless rain sheets home seem bearable - that kid was reeeeally creepy!!! |

Zfish9 said: It's because she want revenge on them. Letting them die won't let her have her fair revenge. She said that in the manga but its not in the anime o.oThe end surprised me somewhat. Why would 9th save them? I could understand it if it was 4th, but 9th!? She tried to kill them a few episodes ago... I don't see how saving them would help her at all. *Clearly has not read the manga* |
| Well, they also censored the missing eye and the cut off arm, so I would guess, they're pretty much into censoring certain visible wounds and mutilations where more than just blood is visible. |
| While it was somewhat enjoyable to watch, I still have to admit the sad fact that the script to this episode is completely retarded. Not that the manga was any better, not much at least. Though the direction went for better after first 2 episodes, 7th episode shows he still isn't the smartest guy. Since the manga is overall actually good, just have to hope the anime is going to be as awesome as the manga was later on. 4/10 My superior opinion ends here. Thanks for reading my awesome words~ |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| Decent episode. I didn't really like that kid; seemed too unrealistic for a five year old child. |
| I don't like the kid much but what a horrible way to die. |
| I'm enjoying this series more and more with each episode! It could even become one of my all-time favourite anime, but I hope Yukkii will actually become a better character, I don't really like the way he's now >_< |
| Aru will appear in the next episode. 3l323k,dswqççdqwepdlfewga,w,etahggfhff |
| It's going pretty good so far. |
| Well I am glad that fifth is dead, he was getting really annoying. Wow at Yuno doing her thing locating the diary, damn shes a goddamn pro stalker. She's got skills, took that shock like a boss as well. Yukki rises in my book every arc, worrying more about Yuno and saving her at critical times. Really loving this anime. |
 |
| I guess the anime would probably be maybe halfway or just 2/3s through the manga? Anyway, for those who read the manga, how does it actually end? Did Yukiteru just （╯°□°）╯︵ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ ? LOL |

After reading that and a few other posts, chances are next episode It'll start with Yukiteru mentally thinking "9th..." and then it'll show a flashback showing what the last episode left out. |
| Why didn't Ninth kill both Yuki and Yuno when they were incapacitated? Isn't that the whole point of the series? |

| That kid is frickin' scary! That's one twisted type of hide and seek they played there. I don't really understand why Ninth showed up and save them though. |

Well, it didn't bother me all too much, but-- I just like to pretend that Deus was the one who gave him the intelligence in order to be able to do those things; to be able to be an actual threat in the survival game. Maybe he was an autistic savant |

Serduszko said: "Like an elite~!" - Mirai Nikki, for "Like a boss" is sooo old! No it isn't. LIKE A GERMAN ELITE! See, its even more awesome. Just add German! This final scene at stairs-yuki kissing yuno dam.n so envy him. After last words of one eye terrorist girl I finished speechless;] Yukkiteru is lucky. Damn lucky. Depends on what kind of 'lucky'.... Also, her name is Minene. If you have any respect for her eyepatch, you'll address her by name. D:< |
| Really a good episode. This anime is getting better |
Yumekichi11 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode probably earned it title for me of “KILLER MOE!” Indeed Reisuke sadly passes through what the worse shit might be for a kid in the following,  While he bled out quite nasty here. While I have to say it was fucking stupid to censor that knife. You really think I don't know what that is? Really? Stupid! He obviously got stabbed by a dildo and thats why it got censored. |
| Yuki didn't kiss Yuno for no reason. He did it so he could transfer air over to her, since Yuno had breathed in some of the poisonous gas (from when she got shocked by Reisuke). That's what it says in the manga, but I guess that wasn't pointed out in the anime. |
| worst episode so far.. oTL |
| Someone didn't tell the author of the manga that too much tragedy can turn into comedy...which happened in this episode. This anime is a decent time waster though. |

This kid reminded me of Lambo from Hitman Reborn, EXTREMELY anooying. I'm glad he died. |
 |
| Am I the only one left wondering how the hell did Reisuke electric shoot her when she was going up the stairs, while the circuits were still out? Well anyway, she was still able to kill him, I guess it was thrown into the mix to add more suspense. So did like...the electricity come back? |
| I'm just glad Reisuke died. Annoying little fucker. |
