skudoops said: Yup. Mizaki was paralyzed waist down. She' propably didn't feel it much when the spine cracked, but she definetly heard it and coughing blood is never a good sign.the1337fleet said: Realistic? An actual person would scream or pass out from the pain if the spine actually broke. True, although I'd imagine her spine was already broken/damaged since she can't walk. |
the1337fleet said: lindsayzzz said: HOLY SHIT, this episode! Gun-Pro 2 supposedly fell on Subaru but the most crazy part was Mizuka's robotic legs going out of control. The spine crack and spitting out blood was so realistic it was scary. Oh my god, Mizuka died right in front of Kai too. Seeing Kai screaming and all shocked was heartbreaking. This episode was so emotional, fuck! Best episode by far, beats episode 14 by a mile and I really liked that one. I knew Robotics;Notes' 2nd half would get serious but didn't expect it to get this serious. Love this show! <3 Realistic? An actual person would scream or pass out from the pain if the spine actually broke. not if she was already paralyzed and couldnt feel shit. |
| OMFG! just...what the hell.SUBARU, PLEASE DONT DIE AS WELL?! I dont know what can i even say...I...wow. |
 |
| wow, subaru and mizuka?? this is getting really fucked up :/ |
 <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2mw85l2.jpg" /> |
| Fuck. Amazing episode. I sat there on my chair, crying and feeling absolutely helpless. |
| Damn, poor Mizuka. No more super spicy fruit buns. T_T Show is really picking up though! I love it! |

| jesus fuck my spine hurts just from watching that i haven't cringed this hard since watching Higurashi's fingernail scene |

Three minutes before the deaths happened I thought "Wow, it's been a while and no one has died yet.." I can't be the only one who thought this. |

| So... can we time leap already? ;-; About some comments here: I don't think most people would make the connection "person is walking away -> can't control their legs" as fast as we spectators did. Mizuka takes ~15s to say "Kai, could you help me out a bit", which is somewhat vague, to say the least. Even when it was clear enough that something was wrong there, Kai would still take some time to realize that if he didn't do something she'd probably die. As to how he tried to help, pulling her away from the border is the obvious first thing to try (which he did). Making her trip would be rather difficult, I'd think, since those legs were quite strong (as he noticed during his first attempt) and that probably means they have good balance as well. Even if he managed to do that, making her fall proved not only to be futile, but also made the entire thing even worse. I don't understand why falling sideways would make any difference when falling backwards didn't... And about the robot falling over, it was not just because of the wind. If you check that scene again, you'll notice that Jun stopped controling GunPro-2 when it was with the right leg in the air, leaving it at a rather unstable state. Had it been with both feet on the ground, the wind would have had no effect. Speaking of that, I wonder what will happen to the robot if it really falls. Would they have to start the project from scratch? |
 |
| I was pretty disturbed... |
| Tackle her! |
PhoenixIce said: You're right! :OWhy do everyone keep hoping subaru doesn't die? episode 1 already showed he was still alive with the gunpro 3 |
 |
| Didn't really overreact too much watching this, surprisingly. I was just slightly upset at Kai's reaction time throughout the whole ordeal. I'm still wondering why he didn't pick her up and run, but I'm guessing those supporters must be pretty heavy (along with her weight). Especially seeing how easily it propped her up like that. |
| Holy shit. As if Mizuka already being paralyzed from the waist down was not enough, that sudden robotic leg stand snapped her spine again with a sickening crack. Then came the disturbing thud after all else failed. RIP Mizuka, poor Kaito. I should've known that ominous flashback at the start of the episode was her death flag. Subaru is also in a heap of trouble. It's unlikely that he's gonna get killed, but he may still get seriously hurt. So much for the joyous moment of truth they had early on. It's also very suspicious that they were all asked to leave just as GunPro-2 was completed. Some reverse-engineering using monopole technology might start going on there. |
| Holy F*ck everything was going great then just as they needed to move out GunPro-2 and they tested it in windy climat -_- ... but really i wasn't expecthing Mizuka's legs to go bersek and lead her straight foward even after Kai slam her down (damn these leg are strong) and so it cause her death (falling off) but for Subaru... He is a important character and maybe i'll be saved at the last moments but what if is dad learn about what he was doing ??? |

PhoenixIce said: Why do everyone keep hoping subaru doesn't die? episode 1 already showed he was still alive with the gunpro 3 thank god someone noticed that |
 |
| I think we all watched this show for the sake of this episode alone. |
| Damn, such an intense & dramatic episode. Subaru isn't dead yet right, maybe.... Mtchie will rescue him. And Mizuka-san, her spine even broke, and then fell.... Kai is so gonna be traumatic, and definitely find the truth about the Kimijima report now. I wonder if he will report to the police & the press about Mizuka-san. |

Redaka said: After watching this episode, I decided to finally look up what the song "Kagome kagome" was about. And apparently, in the lyrics, the part where it says "Tsuru to kame ga subetta", that can be translated to "the crane and the turtle slipped", can be interpreted as: "The crane and turtle can be interpreted as symbols of long life, and thus their slipping can mean the coming of death". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kagome_Kagome#Tsuru_to_kame_ga_subetta I think you can say Mizuka represented the crane and Gunvarrel the turtle as they both slipped and dead ensued to at least Mizuka. oh god.. that song is so creepy.. O_O |

| To be honest...I'm thinking about dropping this now. Spine crack was too brutal. |

| Shit. That was so creepy. And I wonder what happened to Subaru.. |
| Wait whaaa noooooooo Mizuka WHAT THE FUCK? Holy shit I wasn't expecting drama like this when I came into this episode. God damn... that spine crack and crushing sound when she smashed straight in those rocks. Shit is getting seriously real. And oh shit at what happened with Subaru as well. What the hell is going on over here. Not to mention there's also something up with the robot that is going need more modifying. That moment of triumph with Gunpro-2 in the beginning sure didn't last long =/. |

| For those who say Subaru is ok from watching the preview in episode 1, I rewatched that scene, and I noticed it never showed his lower body. It also kind of looked like he was sitting in that scene. I felt it was unlikely he survived that fall unscathed, so my guess is that he's disabled now, similar to mizuka. It would be ashame for him to be crippled, since he won't be able to do those mr. Pleiades dances |
| Mizuka's death was by far the best scene from the show. And it was really uncalled for as well, I was shocked by the spine crack and how absolutely creepy the whole scene looked. Damn, if only the whole show manteined this quality. I just hope Subaru isn't dead, too. |
| Nice to see the robot moving. Gunvarrel looks like an awesome robot. I'd definitely buy a figure if they ever release one. Two shocking and traumatizing moments in the episode. Subaru gets Gunpro2 dropped on him (hopefully, the sensei came on his bike and rescued him or something). Then there's Mizuka's death... Her parting words were still filled with gratefulness and not of sorrow and anger. Must be hard on Kai... Seeing someone he was so close with fall to her death must be really traumatizing. Well, we know the plot if picking up it's pace so that's a good thing. Here's where the climax starts. |

| There is no way the robot fell just cause of some measly wind... Gunvarrel EVASIVE ACTION NOW!! o.o Mizuka..that was not accident, that was like a kill program. |
| I know that death scene was supposed to be tragic and all but the whole time this was my thoughts. 1: Wait, why is he just standing there staring while Mizuki is walking towards that conveniently placed gap in the fence with her face showing something is clearly wrong? 2: Why doesn't he push her over? Why can't he push her over? I mean I get that her legs are metal but that doesn't mean they have the superpower of perfect balance. 3: Oh he pushed her over...and shes back on her feet again. Ok...makes some sense...but why exactly can't she remove the straps? I mean it's not as if the straps were hacked. They are bloody straps! Could you maybe try, I don't know, removing them again? Alright, maybe if they are locked in like a seat-belt and maybe the lock was operated electronically...but that's just retarded! 4: And she's dead. Wonderful. Probably could have been avoided if she was pushed down and rolled on her side. Then the legs couldn't push her back off the ground again. Not unless the device can somehow twist her spine. Though I don't see the need of placing such a function in it. Maybe there are decent explanations for this. Though knowing the writer there probably aren't. Didn't care enough about her to emote when she died. So I got none of the feels people. None. All I thought was "well, that was a stupid death." |

I mean I doubt after I was about to tell you something important and then just walk off, I'm sure you would be slightly puzzled of "what the heck are you doing?" 2: Did you not see the POWER of those legs? Kai was just pulling her arm and he was quickly jerked along with her like it was nothing. Consider the fact that Kai is not really the athletic type either and rather weak. 3: Do answer this: how was Kai supposed to foresee that the legs would prop right back up like that? He's in panic mode anyway, no time to take your sweet time and calculate every and each possibility of how to save her. Tackling her was the smart thing to do, but again, Kai had no idea that those mechanical legs were capable of such power and control. |

Still he just stood there watching her for a minute even after the realization. 2: Doesn't bloody matter. This is about balance, not strength. By the weight of those legs and the position it really should have only taken a small shove to tip her. 3: Yet he didn't try tackling her again after she was pushed up. I can give you that he didn't have enough time as the situation. That said what about Mizuki? She just tried to untie her straps once and then just gave up. She had plenty of time to think considering her position. |

It was clearly shown how him pushing her wasn't even possible for Kai or even pulling her for that matter. 3: When you're panicing, you feel helpless and sort of numb/shocked, you tend to not have a firm grasp especially if you feel shaky. So I'm not surprised that the straps were difficult to undo. My guess though is that you have to turn the legs OFF before removing the straps, and as we saw, the button wouldn't turn it off. |

Her stared at her blankly for ages, Had enough time to have a flashback. If you are saying that he only realized it then you must admit that he is incredibly dim witted. 2: I know. I was watching the episode. I am pointing out how that's not possible. 3: She had plenty of time to think. more than enough to get over shock. Shock is a few second thing. Not a full four minutes thing. And again, a terrible pointless function to have on robotic legs. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that's a health hazard. Not unless the legs were sent to her before they were evaluated for health and safety which I would say, why would you send a friend a product that has not been fully tested and is potentially dangerous? |

Could be wrong, would need to watch it again to be sure. So, if I did remember right, it would mean Kai would have to think for a moment of what the heck Mizuki is trouble with; thus why he hesitated. 2: Well, I get what you mean then now 3: Did you not see Kai's flashback? Something about that president of his robotics company having to explain himself because people were complaining about the legs malfunctioning? It seems like an intentional move by the...I guess they're called the "300"(?) to purposely make the robotic legs 'malfunction'? |

| Why didn't he just turn her around so she walked the other way? Unless HAX! |

BULLDOG266 said: Why didn't he just turn her around so she walked the other way? Unless HAX! The legs would probably make her turn around. They were clearly setted up to make her walk towards a single direction, and that was the gap in the fence. It was probably that noise that came out from their phones after they answered it that caused the legs to "malfunction", although the way they walked Mizuka right onto the gap was way too convenient for me to believe that the legs were just being rebel. |
AidanAK47 said: also, would someone wanna tackle a person again even though it was proven useless, and they realize they just broke someone's spine doing that, causing them to cough out blood?3: Yet he didn't try tackling her again after she was pushed up.
