Seeing how Sakamoto previously managed to escape so many deadly bim attacks, I don't think this time is going to be any different. Now that his manipulating facade has been uncovered Date doesn't represent much of an opponent in hand-to-hand combat, as opposed to the military guy. The only chance he has is to take advantage of the distraction provoked by the explosion to run away, hide and lead the couple into a trap. Otherwise he's pretty much dead. I think Sakamoto's naiveté is absolutely endearing. I happen to know someone in real life whose personality he reminds me of. A mind-blowing strategist but a sensitive sweetheart when it comes to feelings and social interactions. To think that I'll have to read the manga to understand Ryota's relationship to his mother and step dad better ~. Modified by lilgabiee, Dec 7, 2012 9:32 PM |
Date is one sneaky SOB. I hope they take him out soon. And Ryouta should trust Himiko's judgement more. In any case it was really sweet when she hugged him. Sakamoto's high school buddy really brought out the NTR rage in this chapter. "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
Wow, Oda is a fucking cunt. What a dick move. I think that was too much feels for a simple flashback though. The NTR was a bit forced. |
Hybridbloodszak said:  Haha nice look there Light... err I mean Ryota Why are you so polarizing Ryota!? During BIM fights you're really smart and a cool character to root for. But when it comes to human interaction you are a complete dumbass. He'll probably survive and his smart side will come through again as usual. If I had to guess, I think Murasaki probably saw something earlier and was the one who warned Himiko regarding Date and his true personality This episode just made me reaffirm that the character designs, for the women at least, are really unappealing. Their faces look a little off to where when sex comes up, I find it jarring because they don't look hot. What's odd is Madhouse also did Highschool of the Dead where those girls were insanely sexy. i think he's not really that sociable since he is a neet and only lives in the gaming world, he really look like light there XD, btw still epic  Special thanks to Gabu for this amazing avatar & sig set!! |
Sakamoto will catch a grenade for ya, throw Taira's hand on a blade for ya~ I'm disappointed by this anime, it doesn't differ too much from the manga but it's still sooo much worse :/ And that "cliffhanger" is just annoying, as if anyone would believe that the stupid MC could die in this anime...  |

This anime is good, but Sakamoto is just too stupid and naive to be real. |
ryouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutaaaa /o/  ssf4ae (pc) : misterCybou sc2 : CybE // 665 |
I don't think the criticism of Sakamoto's behavior is warranted. The Dr never gave him any cause for suspicion, and went so far as to share resources with them. He probably attributed Himiko's doubts to her general paranoia. What I'm interested in knowing is how'd Himiko figure out what was in the case? |
Ryouta trusts people way too easily. This is the second time in a row an episode ends with a trap explosion. No doubt that he'll survive this BIM too, even though it looks like Himiko and Date presume he's dead next episode. Looks like Murasaki will meet Date again next episode and she undoubtedly wants to make short work of him.  |
alright episode... The doctor is such a douche. Ryouta is being stupid...   |
Didn't Sakamoto start out in the series pretty much saying "I can't trust anybody on this island." but now it's all "Hey, we should trust this guy. I mean, sure, he must've pissed somebody off to get put here, but let's trust him." Wtf. |
Well, Date IS a doctor that saved Taira's life and shared food with everyone. I think Ryouta would have better trust in him than with the others that he encountered so far, despite his naivety, hypocritical and pacifistic ways. Himiko is so cute! Anyway, I thought this episode was good. The Sakamoto/Oda past was fucked up lol. I'm wondering how the forehead girl and Oda got so "close" judging by forehead girl's vicious streak. o_0 |
Hopefully after this experience , Ryouta will finally stop trusting people so easily. And Oda sure is a douche!  |
Really great episode, that was an excellent way to end the episode. we all knew this was coming when they invited Date to come with them to the woman for medicine. I'm pretty sure that most people weren't satisfied with the flashback story since it was so short, but I don't mind that much. I wonder how they will resolve. Looking forward to the next episode, really great series. 5/5.  |
Ryouta is naive but Date did save Taira's life, shared food with them, and even gave him a preview of his BIMs. He presented himself as a competent doctor and hey call me naive but I trust my doctor lol. He was correct 2/3 times on his judgment of finding allies on the island. You can also argue that Himiko is insecure about men so she is generally wary about them, which resulted in Ryouta brushing off her quick dismissal of Date. Also women are better at picking up non verbal signals (body language etc). Modified by zzzeally, Dec 10, 2012 1:25 AM |
Btoom is keeping my attention, for a anime that i thought might be just a excuse to animate Cod this was a pleasant surprise. |
Uf... I want to know why Himiko knows that was a bomb inside. Maybe Murasaki told her. |
irez said: I don't think the criticism of Sakamoto's behavior is warranted. The Dr never gave him any cause for suspicion, and went so far as to share resources with them. He probably attributed Himiko's doubts to her general paranoia. Agreed. That was actually pretty realistic. He wasn't wrong when he decided to trust Taira, then Himiko, so why should he start thinking differently with the Dr.? It's not because WE know that the Dr. is a bad guy that Sakamoto is stupid for not automatically acting suspicious, out of the blue.  |
I bet he didn't die.      #Feitoism @ irc.rizon.net - the official IRC channel for Fate Testarossa.  |
Oh really? XD Anyway I just started watching this today and I thought I wouldn't like it since I tend to deslike anime whose score is 8 below, I can't say I'm loving it but I dont hate it either, it's enjoyable enough. Is this following loyaly the manga? Does it end in the next 2 episode? Because it doesn't look like it.  |
I think they cut out some stuff from the manga... 0_0 Like the scenes before Himiko told Sakamoto to remove the trunk... Ah.. Anyway, Sakamoto's not gonna die. PSH. Main characters don't die, two episodes before a season ends. xD Date-san is sneaky. D;  Let me introduce you to some new things. Bass kick swingin' like I'm Bruce Lee. |
Sakamoto was annoying this episode. Oda is awesome, I'm looking forward to see more of him.  |
Date-san said something about how nothing has changed in six months, and he remembers that building and found the medicine fairly quickly. Meaning he was a survivor from the last game six months ago. What if Date-san was the one that betrayed Murasaki-san? What if he was the one that collected 6 chips with her and then tried to kill her before being rescued by the helicopter? He was using the same tactic with the gang this time round too. I'm surprised he tried to cut ties with them so soon. I wouldn't be surprised if there's an awkward encounter with Murasaki and Date in a future episode... :) |
Mmmmm a good episode for sure  |
what the OST playing at Intro part? |

In Murasaki's flashback she referred to the doctor as "Date", and then he shows up at the end of the episode. There was never any question about him being the same guy lol. |

So we've reached the point where I dropped the manga. Now I'm in the dark about what's going to happen. I like the development. I kind of remember the manga making a big deal of Date being secretly a bad guy for several chapters... Here they made it quick, as should be, after all we can only take so much stupidity of our protagonist. And I don't agree it should have been a showdown, a one-to-one battle. We've just had a good one (dang, forgot about that "never approaching the trunk" thing, that was nice) and Sakamoto is not really the type to fight directly. Oddly enough, the shadow guy from the intro, the one who works in the crazy gaming company was long introduced at this point in the manga, wasn't he? Are they keeping him to be the big reveal in the anime? That's kinda weird.  |
Oi oi oi, didn't we skip a little part there, Madhouse? There's more to Kira getting his bim back than him just casually fishing them out of the water. That's some crucial Sakamoto/Kira development tossed out the window. Not cool. The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one. - Albert Einstein |
Oda is such a badass, I really hope that he and Sakamoto will reunite in some way. I'm liking him even more after this episode. Next episode should also be very good. I wonder how this'll end. It should get a second season imo, the last thing I want is a rushed, crappy ending. I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.  |
Cliffhanger was ace. I was so engulfed that I didn't expect a bomb in the trunk (of all places). |
The first couple of minutes of this episode were actually good. |
so ryouta has a past like that. that oda guy looks like a badass i thought..... the ending of course has some exciting scene to watch next episode lol  |
You know what, the strings remind me of Journey's soundtrack, anyone else? Anyway, it's about time to deal with Date and we are so close to one of the most hilarious moments I've seen in a manga. meepsheep said: I think they cut out some stuff from the manga... 0_0 Like the scenes before Himiko told Sakamoto to remove the trunk... Ah.. Yeah, I got the same feeling and GuiltyKing reminded me of what else was skipped. |
I hate to admit it, but Date has proved to be the most entertaining character. What a bastard! I love that we already knew how bad he is since before he appeared, then we just wait for his inevitable betrayal. Exciting stuff~  |
How many bombs can this guy take?! Seriously, he is also waaay too trusting and needs to start thinking for himself a bit and using his own initiative... But he won't cos.... Well... Why would he now with only two episodes to go aha |
Oh boy a bit of backstory and a cliffhanger ending damn it's getting really intense!  |
Damn oda those punches from ryouta gotta hurt s:  |
Another episode end and another bomb going off in Sakamoto's face. However, im sure he'll be fine one the next episode starts!  |
Arghhhhhh Ryouta's naivety is still PISSING ME OFF. |
What are the chances of both Himeko and Oda being one of the people dropped on the island? Geez, this is fiction for sure.  |
Now that Date has shown his true colors, things are less complicated. LOL I can't wait to see the look on Date's face when Murasaki will show up (if ever). XD You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
Wow, Kill that guy already, Hes annoying. :/ Up to next episode! :)  For some Reason, The Signature Doesn't Update, So just click to see. |
More or less how it went down said: HEY!! There's a bomb in that trunk! Get rid of it! lolwut? A bomb!!!! in this trunk? Ryouta!!!!! ohmugod, what shoud I do with it?... KAAABOOOOSHMMMFABAPOW lol, I'm dying. |
lol is he gonna almost die @ the end of every episode from now on Malware said: LMAOMore or less how it went down said: HEY!! There's a bomb in that trunk! Get rid of it! lolwut? A bomb!!!! in this trunk? Ryouta!!!!! ohmugod, what shoud I do with it?... KAAABOOOOSHMMMFABAPOW lol, I'm dying.  |
Damn it Sakamoto, do you really think that you can just trust everyone? Ugh anyone else would be dead. Though I didn't expect him and Oda to know each other.  |
