Yeah, I was expecting the same thing. Especially with Silver Knight. I strongly dislike that guy.

that was a pretty good strategy, i guess; but i don't get why tsukasa didn't use any of his attacks? shouldn't he have other ways to attack besides his guardian?

I'm guessing Tsukasa is low level since hes a wavemaster without a party so can't gain levels too quickly.

Something like Tokio's case.

005 - So Crim gets introduced in the anime. He seems like a nice character, one with humor as well. xD

But poor Tsukasa getting captured. :/
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~

I feel like I missed an episode or something. Hopefully next episode they will explain a few things. At least it looks like it might start picking up.

I'm suprised how much the writers haven't put in anyone screaming attacks and wielding flaming swords. xD
Although none of them look that strong other than Crim. xD

I think that the series focuses a lot on the power of words. Subaru doesn't fight, yet has great control over the Crimson Knights. (Well, not so much in this episode...) Tsukasa's and Mimiru's words resonate strongly with each other, disturbing both of them.

It's prompted me to wonder what strength really is and how others may define it.

Hmm.
Interesting. So Subaru obviously is mad at the Silver Knight.
Tsukasa's captured, and he seemed surprised to see Subaru, though it looks like he's starting to enjoy the Guardian -- especially when it killed off that Crimson Knight. However, I feel like Tsukasa is very, very upset about captured. Maybe because he can't see his "mom" / Macha, or maybe the girl?

Regardless, I wonder if he'll accuse Mimiru and Bear of sending him into the trap, though Mimiru did tell him to go back. I wonder if he'll be able to summon his Guardian in the dungeon where he was taken?

Interested in seeing what happens in the next episode, and if he knows more than he's letting on.
Know an AMAZINGGG anime with a strong male lead?!?!11one//?!

TELLMEEEE.
NoSrsly, bby. I'll love you forever. But no romance. I mean, romance is fine between you and I, but I don't want to watch that crap, okay? Okay.

I don't feel sorry for Tsukasa in the least when he was whining like a baby, he was arrogant and didn't care about PK'ing anyone even knowing about the comas.

Nice work Crim.

It was self defence. I don't think Tsukasa is guilty. For now, he has no other life than The World and coma is just a word for him. So, I don't think he knows the effect of guardian's attack. But I wish he would be strong even without the Guardian. I hope he gets stronger in the future.

The creep finally got caught...well, most of them are creeps. Crim is cool though. LOL @ Tsukasa impaling one of the guards and smirking.

It sucks to roleplay as the silver knight. What a boring role.

I really love how mysterious Tsukasa is, he's definitely what the plot is centered around but he also doesn't act like a typical main character. It's like he's a main character and not at the same time. He's just so strange calling the cat his mom, not being able to hear the cat's words, wanting to get rid of the weird guardian orbs, and then there's the whole weird floating girl fiasco that is unexplained. I'm surprised that I shed tears at the end of the episode, I thought Crim would help Tsukasa and in the end he let the silver knights take him away..

Exactly this.

I really don't know what I'm expected to feel at the end of this episode - did the writers want us to feel sorry for Tsukasa? Because they've given me no reason to care about him in the slightest, he's just... weird. And his arrogance/willingness to hurt others is very unlikable. I also don't see why Mimiru and Bear want to defend him. It seems like it would be for his own good that the Crimson Knights investigate what's going on with him.

I didn't expect BT to set up that trap for Tsukasa. This episode really made me wonder what was so bad about having a character killed in The World. For Tsukasa it may be different than for other characters. It seemed weird though to have death be a punishment that went along with capturing the character. I wonder how any of it is intended to work in a game sense.

Ok, I guess overestimated Tsukasa and so did she.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

It was good that they showed that Tsukasa can indeed be attacked. It's a much needed raise of stakes for the characters.
