Such a strong episode! For now IMO it's the best ep in this series along with ep 5. And I hope that remaining two will be at the same level or even greater.

Recently on another forum I saw the people who hate the idea of linking and another world being real. I don't understand them, frankly. It's really cool ideas, IMO. I guessed about such things earlier when watched OVA (despite of all of its uncertainty), and now glad that the series confirms them.

As a MASSIVE Black Rock Shooter Fan, I feel the need to guide others through the general quality of all of her "Universes".

This assumes only the Original Images and Song being 10's.

#1: Original Images by Huke (10/10)
#2: Original Song by ryo (Supercell) (10/10)
#3: TV Anime by Ordet (8.5/10)
#4: Original Video Animation (OVA) by Ordet (8/10)
#5: Manga by Katokawa Shoten (6/10)
#6: PSP Game by Imageepoch (5/10)


This is the general quality of them so far - The reasons for the Manga and Game's now scores follow:

The Manga makes changes that were not needed in the slightest, and has a confusing, schizophrenic plot. The game has a flat plot, and switches out staple characters for copies that were never needed.

I post this mainly for those that want to know more about BRS - so give me a shot (PM) if you have any questions! I will also post a dedicated thread for anyone who has any questions about the series.


I just want to ask...well I'm primarily attracted to Figma White Rock Shooter but I want to know if the PSP game also has english subtitles.

My sides. If there's anything I really like watching in BRS it's Saya's impeccable mind-breaking methods.


Quoted for truth. She just fucks with everyone so awesomely.

And what the hell is up with Yuu? What is she exactly?

Btw Yuu really screw up the timing. Getting her there just as she killed her was far from perfect.
Well lets see now what that color changing on BRS means.

For a second I thought Yuu was able to break free of Mamiko Noto's influence, but nope, her power is just too amazing. <3

Woah I wasn't expecting that ending! So I'm guessing this deviates from the ova?


Really strong episode though and really interested to see what happens.

Saya is really messing up these students, going so far as to try to strangle one of them. She's so good at breaking their minds that she's like the very antithesis of a guidance counselor. Such a twisted character. Interestingly, it seems these acts of hers are to her benefit in the other world.

Finally, the two worlds connect. Just who and what exactly is Yuu? I know she is Strength in the other world, but why doesn't anybody remember her human self now? BRS broke after Mato's arrival and her witnessing the death of Dead Master, turning her blue flame to purple, changing her into Insane Black Rock Shooter.

I can't entirely understand the parallel stories together, but. . .I have a question:
Is Yuu, Mato's imaginary friend?
My evidence -
1.She only hangs out with Mato
2.None of the basketball team members remember her
3.When Kohata asked "Who are you?" on the bus trip, she included "I don't remember faces well" Which might imply that Yuu isn't really there? idk
4.She doesn't have a home. . .

Maybe I'm overlooking this?

No, that's what I thought too. But then how can Yomi and Kohata see her and talk to her? Unless Yuu is some kind of astral projection kinda like


I had a feeling it'd all be downhill for Mato from here. Unfortunately, I was right.

So Yu and Saya are aware of the BRS world where people decide to deal with their emotions by having fights and if they die they then wipe their memory of the thing that was causing them angst? Not the best way to deal with problems but I guess it's better than boozing and doping up until your brain goes on a permanent vacation.

Show is weird, the OVA seemed more coherent and had a tighter focus even if the final ending came off as a tease.

So basically, Yuu made Kuroi snap into madness state to defeat her and strip those worries of Yomi from her? And who the hell is she, is she ally of Black Gold Saw?

This is getting worse and worse with each step. Why did everyone forgot her though, I don't get that one.

But at least Kuroi realized those fights in Otherworld are not solution, they need to be resolved in real life else they would become all mindless doll stripped of emotions as Saya wants.

And yes, teacher sure is freak, they need to stand against her.

The animation and action sequences in this were well done and amazing to look at. The struggle between BRS and Dead Master (Dead Master being coiled by her chains and Yomi locking herself in her own room reflected their isolation) was well represented. While BGS observes from a distance on how things play out (still unclear what her role is besides Saya trying to asphyxiate Mato).

Yomi as seen from her behavior is calm and cheerful but disturbed as she acknowledges that Mato is the reason for making her lose her senses (painting of Mato, cutting her hair and giving Yuu a bracelet made of hair). It makes the mother irresponsible that she just lets their child loose like that, she's completely shattered and lost. At the same time, Yuu seems to acknowledge that both her and Saya are "working together" somehow by referring to Yomi: "You messed up our playful bird!" as Saya did unexpectedly make Yomi feel useless.

Kagari showing she has amnesia about Yomi and referring to her as "broken" which crossed the line with Mato. She dreams about the Otherworld and isn't sure what to make of it until Yuu suddenly isn't remembered by anyone at school. Which really made my initial suspicions on Yuu and Saya proven that they may both know more about the Otherworld and in doing so, somehow wipe the memories of certain people (unless those other otherselves that were killed by BRS including Kohata, WERE those students that couldn't remember Yuu).

Aside from being transported into the consciousness of BRS through Yuu, Mato soon finds out (in BRS's eyes) that Dead Master (Yomi) was just killed by BRS and in doing so was heavily appalled by it. This ends up causing BRS to go seemingly crazed to ultimately turn into Insane Black Rock Shooter (IBRS) with the violet glow from her eye rather than the standard blue.

Action scene at the beginning is spectacular.

Hmm, personally I don't like the fact that the other world exists beyond the abstract. I much preferred it as the psychological battleground for the events happening around the girls.


But! I'm excited to see where it goes. Still loving this.

Its funny, up until this episode, i was always thinking the stuff in the so called "dark world" is simply the representation of the characters feelings and emotions, the strange teacher actions were kind of off but i didn't thought the other world is actually real, so i guess that was cool. The show is kind of more interesting right now.

I'm crying all the time while watching this anime but this episode...

It completely broke me! - I screamed I started crying and then I was repeating again and again: "No, this is not true... This CAN'T be true."

And that ending... Oh my God. I'm so scared to watch the next episode yet I want to know what is going to happen.
