So why did the future change when Yuki shot Fourth? Didn't the diary say it would kill Yuno as well?

I thought this anime was perfect until I read a forum on it... Now I'm noticing all of the big, big holes in it. Oh well, it's more of a thriller than a psychological anime.
I still love the anime but this episode brought the drags. If Minene wasn't in it, I would have skipped it because I could see what was coming from the start. Yuki has got to be one of the most annoying heros, I hate the crap out of him. During the previous episode, I thought he was improving but he's not. He's just dumb and a wimp. I will hate this anime if he becomes a God.

What a retarded unit, Yuno runs with the gun shooting two of them and the other three stand with backs to her like they didn't even notice that. Also Yuno can dodge bullets.

Yuno knew he was lying when he said she was his girlfriend, that scene made me sad for the first time in the anime.
And what is Akise Aru indeed? Can't figure it out.

That's a lot of medicine she has... she must be...reaaaly sick, in the head. Yuki is a freaking moron. Is Yuno with him just for pity? "I was practically dead but you gave me hope?" How has he done that exactly?

Also looks like Fourth liked his coffee very sweet.

Because of love, you know, Fairy Tail had nakama power, why not love power in Mirai Nikki? In other word, freakin bullshit.

You don't need to read a forum to notice those flaws, and plot armor for the main protagonists.

Yuno can shoot well, can't she? She was up against how many trained soldiers in bullet proof vest/jacket, and still almost won.. -.- Then there's Yukkii, so how did he avoid hurting Yuno and shot the Fourth? -.- So Minene conveniently recorded everything? Seriously? -facepalm- There were so much plot armors for the main characters it's unbelievable. Meh. Then the writing, stop inserting some sort of romance cliche dialogues in the middle of everything, I cringed. -.- Oh by the way, why did Yuno took away Yukkii's phone when the mail came? Uhm did she knew about the mail from her own phone? That doesn't seem possible.. She's also flinging around the phone carelessly like that, accidentally broke it, and it's over for your little boyfriend. -.-

So Yuki gets his phone from his pocket? Didn't it fall down?

And Kurusu could've just just finished them then and there instead of listening to them babbling.

Yuno's invincibility is really starting to bug me. Get through a bunch of fully trained SWAT members without getting so much as a scratch? No problem! Somehow pierce through their armor and kill them all in one blow? Nothing a highschooler can't handle!
I don't care how much practice she possibly had, no mere batshit insane 14-year old can be THAT good. If the scene at least had a little bit more action, like ducking, hiding, physical contact, I might have just let it slide by but c'mon. That was a tad bit ridiculous.

That aside, fairly good episode this week. Minene's and Nishijima's awkward relationship is the best thing about this series.


I'm in agreement with this.
I think I'm starting to like the whole Minene x Nishijima thing, even if it takes her down a notch.

Yuno is starting to become annoying. At first, she had that unique of being a cute stalker but she takes stalking to a whole new fucked up level.
Also, she has an impeccable accuracy. She shot those dumbass SWAT members in the neck while running. loool

It's sad to see Fourth died. I thought he would've lasted till there are 5 remaining.
His character reminds me of Lelouch. They both move forward and destroy everything in their path, only to re-create them when they attained that god status.

Yuki's thought process on Yuno:

*she started as a stalker
*but she always keeps me in her thoughts = she slaughters anyone who tries to hurt me
*but she's cute

BUT SHE'S CUTE. Yeah forget everything else. She's cute XD

Damn, for the first time in the series I got some real feels there. I actually grew to respect Kurusu at the end. He was a good man corrupted by a corrupt game. It's a shame about his haircut, though.

The last 3 episodes were the best till now.
Although I did not expect for Minene to survive for so long (I am happy she did 。◕ω◕。 ), I knew that Kurusu will die soon since I saw him in episode 2 :)
and Yuno is still a stalker :P but at least she is willing to sacrifice herself for Yukki.

Well, Yuki's balls finally dropped this episode, hopefully he continues to man up a bit as the series goes on.

But I have to agree with some others who pointed how ridiculous it was for Yuno to take out an entire swat unit by herself, lmao. Though this is an anime, so I won't let bother me too much.

Also we're those friggin skulls in her bag at the end >_<? And here I thought she would get less crazy now that Yuki had accepted her....guess not lmao.

Wow, that was insane!

I did not expect 4th (I thought his bandages around his mouth were odd and unnecessary) to end up dead so early and by his own hand in the end, but I also still can't believe his betrayal.

Yuno is somehow an incredible shot after initially being quite bad, suddenly she can shoot SWAT in the neck and kill them all ... mmkay.

Also at the end, I couldn't even tell what was in the bag but could better form the picture on here. Yuki should not have given her his phone since he now missed Akise's warning! D:

Well, one more player down. That's 6 down now right? Half of them.
Yuki, Yuno and 9th are still allies. Curious about the other 3.
Also, getting used to the idea that Yuno is constantly up to something crazy, I mean, where those skulls in her bag? Dafuq?
Hope Akise doesn't get killed in the middle of all this... He's damn cool.
Also, seems like Yukki is almost in love with Yuno now. He's completely giving in, and that can't be good...
Looking forward to the next episode.

I don't understand how they aren't in jail.... They shot police officers tf I don't think "ohh the chief's notes explain it" is satisfying enough of an explanation. Also, everyone's mentioned this but them taking down a SWAT team that easily is almost as bad. I mean I don't necessarily have an issue with Yuno having special abilities but regardless the shots she hit them with shouldn't have been enough to take them out of commission, and why didn't they fire back at all?

All that said I'm willing to somewhat overlook it in light of the further romance developed between Yukki and Yuno. It's been pretty well done. Yuno continues to carry this show and Yukki is actually starting to become fairly likable (Hope I don't jinx it).

Yuno has been so well done that she's singlehandedly made the show worth watching. I just wish the game itself and the ensuing action were handled with even half as much care as her character is.

That's officially the first death NOT inflicted by Yuno. Anyone find it strange that everyone comes to First and Second, but never the other way around? (except technically Sixth, but they were LED there by Fourth...)

Oh shit....why does Yuno always make me warm up to her, and then show her maniacal side again?

Ehh, yeah this arc really didn't do it for me. I think my suspension of disbelief just broke down this episode, especially with that awful police shooting scene where Yuno took out like 4 armed officers -_-" Minene ended up only giving them a flashbang so they all lived, but Kurusu just taking his time and letting Yuki make up his mind ... sigh. So much terribleness there >_< At least Yuki "resolved" himself and his feelings for Yuno I guess? I liked Kurusu and I'm sad to see the turn that his story took. Oh well, hope the new arc is better. Yuno's preventing Aru (who I like too!) from contacting Yuki because he's suspicious of her ... and no doubt something else will happen on this trip :P Either way I need to take a break from this show or I'm gonna go mad lol

Yuno is always ready to die for Yukki. Noooo. ;-; I hope Yukki meant every word when he said I love you to Yuno. I'll fuck you up!

Nishijima and Minene came across each other. Kyaaa. My heart is screaming. Hihihi. And Nishijima found out that Kuruse set up Yuno and Yukki and now he's dead.

I wonder why the cops are looking for Yuno and Akise knows and texted Yukki about it, but Yuno deleted his text.

What the hell is that thing inside Yuno's bag? What the hell is that? I can barely see it. Lmao.

These characters make no sense at all. That Kurusu guy would do everything for his son, but he actually cancels negotitations in 10 seconds because his son will "die anyway"? Does he not give two shits about his wife either? His whole motive in this episode screamed "I have to kill Yukiteru" instead of "I have to save my son". Also the police just lets a terrorist run away freely who blew up a school and killed a bunch of students there? How utterlay retarded this plot is sometimes...

Figured it out by the shape, it's a flash grenade. And I think Keigo should've figured it out.

Hmm.... that's a lot of medicine....maybe that's what cause Yuno's craziness.

Okay, major plot holes and suspension of disbelief. Fortunately Gunslinger Girl is one of my favorite shows so Yuno taking out a swat team by herself wasn't that hard to get over.
But after Keigo released him and told him to step back, Yuki was standing right next to a cop on the floor with a gun. Keigo had his back turned and wasn't watching him. Yuki could have just picked up a gun right then and blown him away.
This series definitely needed a "devil's advocate" to point out the plot problems.

This show has a lot more holes in it than I recall from when I watched previously. In this episode, Yuno being able to take out a SWAT team I believe is explained later and besides with that I just think "anime" and shake my head. My issue with what happened in this episode is that even if they were cleared for the case that got them investigated in the first place they tried to kill many officers (succeeded with the SWAT officers?) so why in the hell would they just be let go? Being innocent on the first doesn't excuse the rest. Absurd.

This stuff happens pretty regularly but this is the worst so far, still enjoying the anime but I have to lower my standards on what I'm expecting.

So the answer that Yuno gave to "Being Yukiteru's girlfriend" was to have a secure future according to her. I suppose she has a little more depth with what Yuno has lived in her house and why he has become so attached to those words.

Has Yukki really developed feelings for Yuno? wow
