mdz said: Touching and all, but the plot is getting ridiculously linear and cliche. Not exactly sure how Shana has the ability to hold her own against Yuji, the power gap should be ridiculous. The power of love isn't a valid reason. Shana is channeling Alastor's power which is about on the same level if not stronger than the snake of the festival. The power gap is very close, it's just that the snake himself is using his power through Yuji while Shana is using Alastor's power by herself. If Shana could use Alastor's power freely she'll be at least as strong as Yuji now is. |

Leon-Gun said: It's funny because I'm pretty sure Sophie actually meant "forget about him, you're just a Flame Haze" but Shana took it as "you're not just a Flame Haze". And they fear the God of Creation but Alastor is the God of Destruction and every bit as powerful as the Snake. A little bit hypocritical that they let Alastor run free when he has the power of absolute destruction. Sounds to me like a more dangerous guy. Remember that this "God of Destruction" came to this world and contracted with a flame haze just like them. They dont need to fear a god that is very clearly on their side. The God on Creation on the other hand is clearly trying to change the laws of the world so for these flame hazes whose job is to keep the current status quo they see him as a serious threat. Also its a bit sad how there seems to be so many people that dislike Sophie, she is a very caring person and she was like a second (or third if you count Wilhelmina) mother to Shana after she became a Flame Haze. At the same time though she takes her duties as flame haze very serously so it seems she is just being portrayed as another "tool" for a bunch of people here. |
| OMG, my love is the strongest one in the world after I developed for 20 years. Doesn't mean I am capable of destroying the world now? I guess I better try it. |

game8910 said: It's probably because of what they decided to emphasize. That said while I know what you mean, do remember not all Flame Hazes have the same goal, they merely cooperate with those of their same rank or order those of lower rank. Alastor is a God of Guze, he could easily change sides without opposition if such was his wish. In fact, had Yuuji had managed to deliver his plan more clearly and Shana had accepted said plan Alastor would have followed Shana's judgement and the Flame Hazes would have had two Gods to fight against.Leon-Gun said: It's funny because I'm pretty sure Sophie actually meant "forget about him, you're just a Flame Haze" but Shana took it as "you're not just a Flame Haze".

| So that's legendary "flame haired red hot eyes hunter" (Something I should've typed 2 episodes back, when she killed a king of Guze with relative ease) Shana's full power has finally awakened. Basically, without Yuji, she'll just be a flame haze, and she would've done what a flame haze should've done the moment they cross sword(Tenpa Jyousai). The only reason she's withholding the releasing of Alastor is because she's being Shana, trying to defeat Yuji without killing him. And If Sairei were to abandon Yuji, which sepearates Yuji and himself, she'll release Alastor at will and let the two gods duke it out. Outcome = unknown. Contractor of Destruction vs Vessel of Creation. Ideal vs Ideal Nietono no Shana vs Sakai yuji amazing way to end the first half of the season. EDIT: Side note... What is the relation between Sabrac and Mare? Mare is that weak tomogara from season 2 episode 1, apparently she is so weak that even Yuji can't detect her presence. |

| So I've been waiting for this for years, and I'm now finally half way through. Time passes so fast, and it's so sad. I don't want this to end. |
 |
| EPIC conclusion to 1 half of the season loved it... wonder wat will happen next. damn why did the first volume sell only 2k lol |
| great episodes , it took 2 and half seasons for us to hear it. judging from the review it looks like shana is going to lose and maybe someone will die |

I swear I never saw her. pics? oh sure    She's ridiculously weak, got killed in just one shot. |

| lolol, I agree with Yuji, this shit is funny as fuck. Her strongest unrestricted spell is "love?" That's about as corny as it gets. Dr_Smurph said: Because you can't be so romance heavy and than end bittersweet. Yes you can. Plenty of anime's that have primarily focused on romance had bittersweet endings. |
 |
| Well, she said it. Lets see what love can do... Ajunky said: So... LMAO |
| "Love is the strongest unrestricted spell." Ugh. |
| bullshit talking at the end. why shana didnt ask anyting to alastor when he came back? why is everything so shitty in shana? |
| Great episode. |
| Not sure if I'm liking this or not. Probably not. |
 |
| Love??? is that it? the strongest unrestricted spell?? Goddamn this cliches... Plz god don't let me down |
 |
| Awwww. Shana talking about her feelings like that. So sweet NOT |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| um, sory but wtf!? this might be one of the most confusing anime's ever/ worst, i am not enjoying this at all, i wonder how i even finished the first two seasons this is so bad. |
| I really wish the bad guys would win. Sabrac is cool, that big eel guy was cool. the big snake god is cool. even the Trinity and that bug guy. but the "good guys"? some dumb grandma old nun. a maid. some chick. a kid. oh and an annoying loli. seemed like Shana would never shut up at the end. I wish that big snake would EAT HER. loli = dead would make this a great series! even though it will never happen. |
 |
| Shana's reason for fighting on is damn stupid I expected the rest to facepalm, instead they got mad so I facepalmed in their place |
| Ok i didn't quite understand the whole meaning behind what shana was saying, but the strongest spell is love? Kind of cliche if you ask me, its like love conquers all huh? I do appreciate that shana finally confessed her self to yuji but serously could of took a better time lol. The rest of the gang are having trouble defeating sabrac. So i guess this is it, down to the final act of the first half of season 3. Yuji and shana finally fight each other and i guess the secrets and reasoning behind why yuji wants to change the world will be revealed after this final battle. Next episode should be good with some revelations of sorts. |

| So Mr. Perfect Sakai Yuji/Snake of the Festival (who once got banished for trying to change the world in a bit onesided way..) does not tell anyone his true goals, not his army, not his generals, not his friends, not even the one he does it all for - his love, making everyone fight in an all out war he started (it was only some clashes now and then before) to avoid having to fight each other in the future? Wouldn't it be easier to tell everyone, right now? The future is only a moment away, whats the point if makking everyone fight if he wants to stop the war? If he can't stop it otherwise, okay, but that's not the case. If he can convince Shana, it would be over. The Flame Haze would ultimately follow Shana, especially as they only fight because of the actions of the Tomogora (that is the goal of the Flame Haze as organization, to keep the balance and stuff), and Yuji/The Snake of the Festival would keep the Tomogora in check, especially as it's quite possible that Hecate would follow suit, as long as she is only interested in him as a god, and does not become jealous. If some Tomogora do not accept that? Kill them. I mean, thats what he is doing right now, only that nobody had the chance to accept it because he told nobody. Or we arrive at where he doesn't actually want to make a perfect world for everyone, but only for Tomogora like before (even Bal Masque thinks so), making it ince again perfectly valid for the Flame Haze to fight. It's all up to Yuji/The Snake of the Festival, no one else, not Bal Masque, not the Flame Haze, not Shana. He has the power to stop it by explaining himself, but he decided not to. |
| Shana said it!! Finally! The least he could have done is said it back... It seems Yuji/Serei's plan is so much bigger than everything that's going on that they can both just laugh it off in the face of anything. |
| "We're nothing more than fools and whores with sad highs" |
| Seriously, Yuji's objective is beyond my understanding. He's totally out of character since the first episode of this season. |

| for some reason i'm siding with snake god, my gut tells me he has a good plan :), war part is bad, but i believe that in the end all of it is worth it, u know the saying? no sacrifice no victory, peace often comes with a price!!! |

And Alastor would understand the plan as well. He is a god of the tomogora like the Snake of the Festival, too. Whether he would agree would depend on what Shanas opinion is again. They could also ask other, most likely unbiased people like the Spiral Organ for an opinion. Or *gasp* Kazumi. The most annoying thing is though that he blames them for it, even though he does everything to ensure that they have no choice but to (unknowingly) follow *his* plan. Which includes lots of - in the context of this plan - necessary causalities, and even more even for this plan unnecessary causalities on both sides. To sum i up: Yes, i think it is that easy. |

| Sabrac so badass i bet he can fight yuji 1v1 |
prismheart said: I keep wanting to call Sabrac, Edge (the ninja from FFIV). I'm actually looking forward to the next episode even though my favorite character is gone. He reminds me of Kakashi or White Star with different color schemes. |

| Okay, so Yuji believes that the Snake can alter everything in the world and make everything for the better while Shana thinks the Snake might do something evil. Been a long time since the last interesting episode, which was Ep. 4 -.- |
| Oh god please not another AI NO CHIKARA bs at the main point. This ep reminds me why Sabrac was my fav character in show. |
| Damn, I just understood that all that Sabrac have to do is wound the three Flame Hazes, then retire and let ''stigma'' do the rest of the job. They have to find a way to kill him fast or they'll all be wounded to death. So this is the Snake true form. Now all he have to de left is to get out of Yuuji body and go into that big ugly snake. Awakening scene was pretty cool. So Bel-Peol does have an eye behind her eyepatch... :P Now, nun evilish looking lady seem in deep trouble and I can't see how she'll fix that situation. Well, there is Margery coming in so that may be her last joker card. Shana finally confessed but that wasn't the best reaction she could have received xD She is pretty good at bargaining though. As I thought, the only thing that he wanted is to not have Shana against him and once he would have changed the world has he said, he could get rid of Yuuji. I still can't believe that Yuuji doesn't have a plan in the head other than thinking that the Snake of Festival is a good guy and that they would let them all live together happily. |

| Wow Awesome Ending |
| Sabrac was so badass! And yay for Shana having the courage to finally say it. |
| So the God of Creations true body...is like a bigger version of that guy who died to nun lady? Kay then. |
 |
| Another great episode, the fight against Sabrac was tense, he's a really tough guy, going at it with three strong Flame Hazes is quite impressive. Shanas words towards Hebi got me goosebumps. |

Leon-Gun said: Kimberly said: A balance that serves nobody. Basically the Flame Hazes just want to perpetuate the battle between the Denizens of Guze and the Flame Hazes eternally without really caring the sacrifices needed to keep the balance. The Kings and Gods inhabit humans and use them until their bodies are exhausted then move on to a new host "Flame Haze", and they don't care how many humans are erased from existence so long as the number is kept small and they may even get some humans involve just to lure enemies out. I dare say the "good guys" are really no better than the antagonists.The flame haze are trying to stop Yuuji because it's not guaranteed that everything will go right if his plan succeeds. It could destroy the balance of the world. this +1 thats one reason i am on hes side |
| I don't know what's going on anymore. |
 |
| Sabrac has changed his spells and has prepared against Wilhelmina well. He is the type to go to any battle thoroughly prepared, kind of like batman. He is definitely impressive. I couldn't understand Shana's speech at the end and had to watch it twice. It got a bit confusing because it wasn't clear which persona she was talking with. I don't see how Shana can win here unless she summons Alastor. Maybe she does considering that they aren't in earth anymore. |
| Even 3 powerful Flame Hazes can't bring down Sabrac that easily. I think he's stronger than the Trinity. I also like the fact that he's updating his skills to maintain his lead in combat. It's too bad that the only time Shana was able to clearly say ILY to Yuji was during this situation. Yuji didn't even react that much to it. I'm looking forward to a round 2 confession in a romantic setting by the end of this season. Yuji should confess first at that point. |
