| Quite the massacre. Really sucks that those two had to die. The finale should be pretty epic. |

| More dead characters.... T_T I wonder who'll be left alive at the end. |
| What an epic episode, sad those 2 died i really liked him :( im glad they aint holding back on killing important characters though, hate when series somehow keep them alive when they shouldn't be. Well now the hiruken emperor has awakened wonder what will happen next? |
| Very enjoyable episode. Raigyo and Isshu's deaths were very well done. "Banzai, Emperor." *explosion* |
| Wow that explained a lot. So my assumptions last episode where correct. Nakiami's people follow the same or a similar religion as the far Northern people. I'm guessing the old women in the north is Nakiami's teacher that she was supposed to take over for. I'm thinking Akiyuki's roll in this is going to turn out to be important real soon if he ends up being the last Xam alive. His "memories" are probably want subsides all the darkness later on. Anyway, great episode. |

| It was sad to see them go, that sucked And yeah, the up coming episodes going to be real interesting, with the Emperor awakend, going to be hell of a war. Awesome episode like always Sucks that there's going to be 3 episodes left. Those eps going to be over the top though. |
 |
| Meh, |
| great episode, main characters are falling like dominoes |
 |
| Um...what is all this business about the Hiruken Emperor? And the quickening chamber? And Haru and Midori? I didn't like Raigyo's death, and it was weird that after she gets through kissing and crying over Raigyo, Ishu is talking about Rado, who I don't think has been mentioned. Were Raigyo and Rado brothers, or was it just me who thought that? |

Were Raigyo and Rado brothers, or was it just me who thought that? I believe that Rado was Ishu's lover/husband? when she was younger. I don't think that Raigyo and Rado are related in anyway. They don't even look alike. |
| ehh, they seemed to be wearing the same thing as Akiyuki when he first arrived on ship, and the alliteration. Just a guess. I figured he was Ishu's serioso, but I just didn't understand the relevance of bringing him up at the last minute. |
| not much can i say, except... "me want more...me want more..." =p~ delicious \m/ hell yeah... |

noteDhero said: I figured he was Ishu's serioso, but I just didn't understand the relevance of bringing him up at the last minute. Maybe because she was about to blow herself up? Or so it seems. |
| The thing i like in this anime is despite it's bright animation style it never goes easy on the characters...almost quarter of the characters are died. And not some sidekick...characters with real role. The only thing that messed up is the backstory...they told us almost nothing in the begining about where we are and what happens. Even now we only can guess what happened to this world and what's that all conflict about. |
 |
| NOOOO Raigyo D: so that's the Hiruken emperor =/ he's ... different from what I imagined. |
| I was expecting something that looks... charismatic or charming. Not another "I pew yew!" type of monster. I wonder how they'll manage to end this anime in just 3 eps. I hope it won't end like Claymore *sudden end! xD* or they won't kill main characters like ants just for the sake of ending it in 26 eps. |
 |
| Now who remebers the little floaty thing with Akiyuki a while back? That was the Hiruken Emporer's soul, the same thing that "violated" Nakiami. Back then it told Akiyuki to kill him when they meet, so we will have a fight between the two hopefully. Also Haru seems to be pissing Akiyuki off big time so he might choose Nakiami in the end |
 |
| oh really? I thought that was Furuichi...its sounded like him to me.... |
| wow.... seriously, when I started watching this series I didn't really expect anything but now I can't wait until the next episode comes out!! I hate that so many people died.... including Raigyo... That's too sad!!! T_____T And I'm sure that there will be more following... I agree that the background story is missing!! At first I didn't even understand the entire story. But oh well. I doubt that all problems can be solved in the last 2 remaining episodes.... |
| Raigyo and Ishu.. damn man, and Imouto-chan is a pile of snot damn. |
 |
| I'm finally able to comprehend the complex plot. Ishu and Raigyo, totally badass man. Flashback Ishu is moe. Oh, and Haru and Akiyuki's arguing was epic, but I guess it was needed to remind Haru that she's still human. |
| yeah idk about you guys but i'm still confused... Akiyuki looks a lot more grow up in the past few episodes for some reason. great action packed episode though! |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| The first part of the ep was made up of lame dialogues and weak characterization once again but then, as soon as we got to the second part, it all turned out to be interestingly good. Let's see what the Hiruken emperor can do. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| woah so many people diying>< , now everything clash together, midori emperor military, cant wait to see how it will end. |
     |
| Noooo, Raigyo.... |
 |
| What the fuck was the point of what Ishu just did? Gah! If I had rotten tomatoes to throw at the show, I'd be doing it now. I'm ready for this thing to end like the Pilgrimage drones are awaiting the Quickening without really knowing why. Down to a rating of 7 now. :-( Pretty sure the amount of episodes left leaves very little room for exposition. Commence the philosophical spam, orchestral music, and nonsensical transformations... I can just see it now. |

Karura said: Flashback Ishu is moe. True. Hehe. But Raigyo! Noooo! |
 |
| Action, war, blood, explosions. Finally! |
| NUUUUU Raigyo :( Why did he have to die of all people ? I didn't like how Akiyuki screamed at Haru. Well, since his hair changed he's been awkward, i don't like him anymore -.- (uhhh not just because of the hair) Well, i'm really curious to see what that weapon is. I hope it's not a total rip off. Naruleach said: Akiyuki looks a lot more grow up in the past few episodes for some reason. Ahhhh, it's the hair! it's the stupid hair that makes him look so fugly T_T I don't like him seeming "grown up", he looked so much more innocent and nice before -.- |
 |
| Was sad that Raigyo died and then Ishu had to go as well almost cried when Raigyo died >.< and woah the hiruken emperor looks ownage |
 |
| To be honest I'm starting to not give a shit about all the characthers other than Haru, heck I don't even like Akiyuki anymore; I want a Haru x Haru ending. Lol. |

| noooo!!! RAIGYO!! T.T this show is definitely inspired by the Nausicaa manga. next one of the main characters is gonna get a humanform or a hiruko to destroy the place and the person will kill the emperor with his mind! |

Frohike said: What the fuck was the point of what Ishu just did? Gah! Exactly. In the end, Ishu and Raiygo died for nothing! And why didn't Raiygo just transform into a Xam'd instead of carrying a stupid gun? Convenience to plan his death, I suppose. |
| Fuck, they killed off two good characters for no reason at all. LOL SO EDGY AND GRIMDARK XDDD |
 |
| Wow, Raigyo dead, he was the only Xamd I liked, tough. ecchi_taichou said: ...Also Haru seems to be pissing Akiyuki off big time so he might choose Nakiami in the end I am thinking the same thing. 3 episodes to go, I think they will be all battles. |
 |
| I'm sorry to see Raigyo go :/ A lot of the background has been filled in but I'm still wondering why the southerners are killing off the Pilgrims :S Is it just me or has Haru lost her lustre ever since she got reunited with Akiyuki? Well the previews showed an Akiyuki and Nakiami reunion, looking forward to that! |
“I’m tired of all the nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want – an adorable pancreas?”      |
| RAIGYOOO~! ISHUUU~! What the fuck is going on with the characters? I already had trouble with the way Tojiro/Ryuzo was handled (I mean why kill him in the end?), and now this? I understand it's hard to end a show, but what a let down. I don't know, maybe it needed more episodes, with more Raigyo action, more Akiyuki level up, more purpose. Divy said: Yeah, but she's barely having any screen time. This will probably change.Is it just me or has Haru lost her lustre ever since she got reunited with Akiyuki? Well the previews showed an Akiyuki and Nakiami reunion, looking forward to that! |
 |
| Damn nice battle's but even he died... the kiss was nice and well the action as well, in general quite a nice episode! The buildup towards the end is really getting good! The end was rather interesting, we finally got to know a bit more what that thing was in the opening sequence! Shit is really going to get down! |
 |
| There goes Ishu and Raigyo :( Why didn't Raigyo just transform? So that's the Hiruken Emperor. To be honest, I find myself not caring. Not a lot of info has been given about him so right now all I see is some big humanform. Well now that I think about it, a lot of things still haven't made sense and we're down to 3 episodes. Sheesh. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I hate to admit that I'm completely lost about what the heck is going on... |
| In this episode a small snippet of Nakiyami's past was shown. Ishu and Raigyo's past was vaguely narrated rather than being shown. That's a real waste of the visual medium. But it doesn't change anything regarding the understanding of the plot. Raigyo died. To me, he is just a wasted character that didn't achieve anything - just like Furuichi or that commander guy. |
