| I'm wondering if the dream sequence really reflects something that has happened or if it is altered somehow. Because in the first case it seems odd that Akazawa would only have a faint memory of meeting Sakakibara. I sense something fishy... At this point I still wonder if Misaki has an ulterior motive. Of course, she claims that it wouldn't have changed anything ( or at least she believed it before listening to the tape) to reveal the extra student. But this sounds rather implausible. Does she possibly feel satisfaction from the students' deaths to compensate for the loss of her beloved twin sister? It it really turns out that Teshigawara has killed Kazami then it would be really ironic since they are childhood friends of some sort. We haven't heard much from Kazami since Sakuragi's death thus I would presume that he has actively avoided Sakakibara and Misaki because he holds them responsible for Sakuragi's demise to whom he presumably had feeling for. This could also be the reason for the argument he and Teshigawara seemingly had before the former one died. Sakakibara made the right decision by examining the tape secretely as it would have resulted in a chivvy if it would have become public that the curse can be stopped by annihilating the extra student and ultimately in a bloodbath. Though, that seems to be what's happening next episode nonetheless. However, we can't be sure if the measure that is descibed in the tape is crucial to stop the curse or if something else might have contributed to it. There's a possibility that we are deceived by the author of this story on purpose. |

Even if she did know that you had to kill the 'another' to stop the calamity, do you think she has the ability to do it? She doesn't seem like the type. As for Akazawa, it is indeed odd why she remembers but Sakakibara doesn't. Maybe she's the 'another' which explains why Sakakibara has no recollection of ever meeting her before, but she does? Afterall, the dead don't know they're dead, right? That, and the living don't have memories of that person. Just my guess. |

| The preview looked intense AGAIN!! Business is picking up :3 |
Sir_Lexa said: The preview looked intense AGAIN!! Business is picking up :3 I'm going to make a wild guess that the countermeasure chick with the twintails (Izumi Akazawa) will die before this series end. |

Terminaato said: Awesome episode! If only I hadn't accidentally read who the dead peron actually is... =/ QFT, fuck wikia/wikipedia, seriously, I just stumbled onto a certain character and get completely spoiled to death, fml... |
| I think I figured out who the girl in the red dress is at the end of the ED. It's Fujioka, I can tell by her hair (That little Ahoge strand) Preview of next episode.... Shit looks f*cking real. |
| Well it was a great episode once again. But I must know who is the dead student at the end? |
 |
| ^ guy with blue hair? Don't recall his name This episode was SUPERB. I'm so pumped for more. Fuckin love this. 5/5 |
| It would have been great if some prick didn't spoil it anywhere. Actually, it would have been great if nobody wrote novel spoilers or manga spoilers. Since the anime came last, it is quite anticlimactic to those who knew beforehand. Anyway, it's a great ep. |

| wow i had goosebumps whole episode long ^^ |
| hmm Teshigawara what did you doooo :( still love you though <3 Hmm I can't wait fo the next ep :x I'm also guessing that Kazami is the dead one since he's the only one with blue hair :'] But I was wondering did anyone from the ending die except Yukari? (not sure about one) cause they seem like the "important classmates" So if not, and Kazami is next (maybe), they might plan to kill the "important" characters in that order :( (I'm also really grateful that the people who accidentally know who the "another" is keep quiet about it, I really am! Thank you! :D) |

leiferouis said: ffs. I was browsing the character profiles on myanimelist and it contained some major spoilers. I thought the spoilers were going to be for only whats already known in the anime up till now but I guess not. Exactly what happened to me :( |
| I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER!!! Wow. Amazing episode. I'm so scared as to who the dead person is, and how that happy kid killed the guy. It sounds like Katsumi all over again :O (or the guy who died could've been the extra but I don't think so..) Next episode is going to be INTENSE. Honestly, it's the climax of the show :) I think the dead person is the girl with the red hair (forgot her name xD) ^ I feel that she wasn't too involved in the previous scenes and because of the flashback in the beginning she must have a big role in it later on. 5/5 |
| Shipping News: The SS MeiXKouichi still going strong (and I was also 'eeeeeh?!' for a second when she invited him to her room) This episode was intense, more than the last. Also, I'd say the culprit is Miss Twintails with the chandelier in the salon [/cluedo] And yeah, it looks like murder massacre mayhem is breaking loose next ep. That buffoon will prolly spill the beans about how to stop the calamity and people will kill each other left right and center. |

Ekutah said: BridgeX said: I think this is the second episode where Teshigawara trolled the most important part. I still love him though, I was worried he was going to die but instead he might have killed someone. Mei knowing the colour of death is also interesting. But like Kouichi said, even if you knew who the dead one is would you be willing to kill a classmate? Great episode. Well, if she was right, no one would remember. So I would kill the extra. In this episode: No clichés like the inhaler being empty and having no spares, cell phones being out of range, or the jock making stupid mistakes! Still loved it. However, the person who commits the deed apparently has to live with it and won't forget their memories for a while. Sure, Katsumi has forgotten now, but he still has nightmares. |
| It definitely might turn into a "Battle Royale" now that it's starting to get around that killing the dead one ends the curse. The previews look quite ominous. Asakawa definitely has it out for Mei. You can feel animosity and you just know there's going to be a confrontation soon. I doubt it'll go as far as BR's plot. But, I do think someone will flip out and start murdering others cause they fear for their own life. |

| So who thinks Asakawa has feelings for Kouichi after watching this episode? |
|
| o.o Misaki Moe !! Misaki and Main guy should Chu xD But yeah deathmatch starts next ep.. i hope this anime will end with everyone coming back to life.. and calmaty will ended.. but that is 1 of hope and possibilities .. the other 2 ways that how anime might end -all die and calmity wont stop -some will survive but calmity will keep going -some will survive and calmity will be stopped -all will die and calmity will stop note- yes i know i misspelled calmity cuz have no idea nor remember how to spell it right xD |
 |
| so, misaki's eye really have an ability... it's only a matter of time by now for the extra one will be revealed, maybe next episode xD |
  |
| Not as suspenseful as the other two episodes. Still enjoyable all together, though. Am I the only one that noticed that in the prologue, they called the student named Misaki a girl, but in some recent episodes (Around 6 - 8) they referred to Misaki as a male? Was I the only one that caught that? :/ Plus, I'm still waiting for the stuff from the prologue to be revealed. |
| Dont touch me I'm in despair. |

Leo-Kliesen said: This episode be okey , i like this sister misaki she cute. I want know who he kill xD Really? That's like a major ass spoiler and you didn't even warn us before hand. Anyone who clicked that might've thought it was a screenie or something. Thanks for ruining the biggest part of the series for most of us. Fuck you. |
| Dont touch me I'm in despair. |
| Good episode,shit starting to get serious! So at least we know WTF happen years ago that stop the calamity,and i predicted correctly you need kill the dead person even that he was lucky as hell. Akasawa seems to have big jealousy of Mei as she is to close to Sakakibara,even that i like her that was a bitchy move to Mei good they step up for her. I though for a moment they were going to kiss!!! but it didt happen :( That photo of 26 years ago i must say it was creepy as hell..i love it!! So sisters and no cousins...i most say Mei sister was cute i liked that blown hair but it looks everything start in April no May.... Next episode seems shit get serious blue guy got killed at it seems probably someone heard how to stop the calamity and is starting in killing spree...shit will get serious 2 more to go!!! |
| Brilliant episode. Really looking forward to the next... but only 2 are left =( |

| Loved the episode. The suspense continues and I'm looking forward to a crazy finale. Get the feeling there'll be no happy end for this lot. |

| Good episode. I like the way to end the curse. Much more realistic than i thought it would be(like a magic temple rock or something silly like that). I assume the guy that died at the end isn't the extra student, nor will be the one who killed him. I don't mind having things like "my glass eye can predict death." In fact, i like that sort of thing. But thrown in at the end like this? It seems far too late in the show to have such a convenient way of figuring out who the dead student is, especially right after they learn how to stop the curse. I was even laughing to myself after they asked "how can we find out who the another is" thinking that they would find some sort of Lens of Truth item similar to the one in the game Ocarina of Time. Despite that, i'm really looking forward to the next episode. Seems neat. |

OrochiPL said: So the glasses guy that died at the end wasn't the dead? Colors on his arm were the same as the dead guy's from Sakakibara's mother's photograph. Yet preview showed more deaths will happen. It more seemed like his skin was burnt, maybe because he got hit by thunder(?). His skin seemed the same as the guy that got hit by thunder last episode. No idea what Teshigawara would have to do with that, though.. -LovelyTsundere said: Not as suspenseful as the other two episodes. Still enjoyable all together, though.

Was I the only one that caught that? :/ Plus, I'm still waiting for the stuff from the prologue to be revealed. There already was a lot of discussion about this if I remember correctly. It's because the story has been passed on for so many years, the story just HAD to change at some point. There were a lot of speculations about Misaki's death until it was finally revealed in one of the previous episodes that Misaki was a male and died in a house fire. :) -- Interesting episode. I'm starting to hate Akazawa. It seemed in the preview that someone was pulling her leg and her eyes looked shocked. Will she die? I wouldn't mind. Other than that.. if you have astma (sorry, I have no idea how to spell it), and KNOW you have to take medicine.. wouldn't you ALWAYS take a spare with you if you're going on a trip? Or at least double-check your regular one to see how full it is? I know often things are forgotten when you go on a trip, I have it all the time too, but something THAT important, that could save your life? Maybe it's just me. :') Can't wait for next week, I see blood and loving it! |
| Proud mama and papa of Misha Yuuki* (02-01-2014 - 22-01-2014) Thank you for the wonderful twenty days you gave us. <3 One day we will meet again.. |
| O.M.F.G. + F. M. L.! I screamed with a mix of fear and anger after Kazami went over the rail. Fear, because Teshigawara banging on that god damn door was loud as FUCK; and anger, because WE DIDN'T GET TO HEAR WHO THE EXTRA WAS! Great episode, though! :D |
 |
| I'm quite perplexed that Akazawa is being hated. Actually, I'm quite surprised that no one's bashing on Mei. Even if there's nothing she could do of the knowledge, for her to keep the fact for herself isn't satisfying in itself. Because, after all, her ability gave her the chance to stop the curse firsthand. I love Mei's character; I really do, but such an important thing to be hidden and not given action upon is so wrong. It's not about enjoyment of deaths either that she hid it. More like it's antipathy. If she does care that much, why would she just let it all be? I know she still doesn't know the solution then, but shouldn't she have delved more? But, of course, if it's to protect somebody from the hurt...If it's to protect somebody that she hid it...I guess, I can forgive her...But if not for somebody else's protection, such hoarding of information is inexcusable. But then, I guess she wouldn't be able to talk to someone about it before since she is nonexistent, and no one might believe her ability... Oh well...I still love her character though.

Was I the only one that caught that? :/ So it's not just me! I realized it as well.... Quite confusing.... This has already been explained nth times in previous discussions. Actually, everyone believed Misaki who died 26 years ago was a girl at prologue and first episode because that was what's revealed firsthand. It was only cleared Misaki was actually a boy during ep 5 or 6. It's because of the memory alterations that in the storytelling Misaki was told to be a girl rather than a boy. |

"Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| I jumped when thunder rolled and lightening flashed at the last scene this was an incredible episode i can't wait for next week's airing |
 |
| Cliffhanger!! This episode kept me on edge from the beginning to the end.. Btw Mei's sister was really cute.But now we know that the calamity had started with her death in April. But what's with Mei's green doll eye that can see death? And we didn't hear who the extra student is....again >_< The preview for the next episode freaked me out!Someone's gonna die.It better not be Teshigawara or Mochizuki 'cause I like them both. |
  |
| omg omg omg this was great >.< I was freaked out at the end of the episode! and so sakakibara is not the "another" :/ ... now what ;O;? why isn't next monday already xD! |
 |
| This is really getting bad. Misaki knows who's the dead and was keeping that to herself all the time? She twitched when Teshigawara said that they need to find out who;s that person. And I'm pretty sure he killed his friend. And more deahs next episode. It's going to be bloody. ^^ |
| How can people still talk about "who the dead person is?", it's been quite obvious since 5 episodes back if you notice the details or bothered to look at the facts. Either way I could not care less for the 'official reveal', what I find more interesting is how they will deal with the situation once possessing that knowledge. I.e how are they going to kill the dead person (^.^) Simplest and most logical solution would be providing Mei with a knife and let her dispatch the *anomaly* seeing as everyone else would have no knowledge of this and forget that person ever existed in their time period. |
| DAMN!! This episode was AWESOME!! Can't wait for the next development! |
 |
| ok was i the only one that kept hoping mei and sakakibara would kiss for like the entire second half. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
