| Right now gotta admit I'm quite annoyed. How come Yuuji at the beginning was so powerful that Shana, Margery and Wilhemina couldn't even damage him and now they are giving him a hard time even with the help of Sydonai? So far it was enjoyable but would be better if Yuuji again regained his status as one of the most powerful characters instead of a punching bag. |
| i find myself not taking any sides in this conflict.... for a story where there is suppose to be a clear villain, there doesn't actually seem to be one. |

Because it hasn't been stated why it's that way numerous times =P? |
| it kinda irks me how people complaining how weak yuji is. It has been explained numerous times in this thread. I would understand if it was 50++ pages , but it's only 3 pages so far. Please do yourself a favor by reading it first before complaining BTW i wonder who has the upper hand right now , belpheol said it's too late but shana's smile said the otherwise. hmm..... |
InfiniteDestiny said: I agree with InfiniteDestiny!!! The reason why Yuiji is weak is NOT random! It makes SENSE! Yuiji is not God damned weak! He's using all his bloody power to create a new world! .... Freaking Shana exploiting his weakness -.-As for those saying Yuji is weak; this is just a guess but it seems reasonable enough; that Yuji is using almost all of his power to create the new world thus is weakened, and as pointed out in the last episode forum, he was never trying to fight all out against Shana, just buy time for midnight when the plan comes together. It was also said this episode that it was more difficult than he imaged to control the flow of power or something among those lines; implying he is multitasking while being handicapped (fighting and creating the new world), not exactly a easy scenario. So as for the rings, and all the questions I'm sure they will be answered (or least hope they will be...) when they both reveal there plans, because besides the fact that Yuji wants to create a new world, and Shana wants to stop him we don't know much about the details yet. |

I think Yuji still has the upper hand, though Shana might changed something... Anyway I'm interested in what Johan and Pheles are planning. Thanks for the pic, Maddo_scientisto! |

| Lots of good replies. Thanks! Things are a bit more clear now. That said, the power level things still feel wrong. That knife guy who took on Band-aid lady, green explosion lady, and little kid with a pole (forgot their names). 3v1, so why is the guy with the giant spear and Yuji having so much problems, aren't they the commanders/overlords/whatever? Well nonetheless, I think everybody just wants Yuji to kick some ass, so it's disappointing to see him suddenly get tossed around and being saved left and right. Like what are we, back to season 1/2? |

Well nonetheless, I think everybody just wants Yuji to kick some ass, so it's disappointing to see him suddenly get tossed around and being saved left and right. Like what are we, back to season 1/2? If you are talking about Sabrac, his case is special. First of all he is already ridiculously strong, I would say almost on par with Synodai. However what makes Sabrac so incredibly hard to kill is the fact that the body that is fighting you is pretty much indestructive. You have seen throughout the series how they blow him up, slice him, crush him, only for a new body to regenerate itself and continue the fight. As long as Sabrac has power to regenerate itself he wont lose. Add the fact that his body and mind could not be separated this time around because otherwise the whole terrain they were fighting on would disappear, and you have the flame hazes in a severe disadvantage. Notice how once the snake showed up and completely dispelled and removed the ground they were fighting on, Rebecca managed to get a deadly hit on his main body. Combined with the fact that he refused to get aid, he chose to die on the spot. Any other kind of Tomogara taking on an attack like Rebecca threw at him unprotected would most likely suffer the same fate, even if its someone like Synodai. Shana, Wilhelmina, and Margery are amongst the strongest of the Flame Hazes, they can stand their ground against most opponents on their own. It all depends on the conditions they are fighting on honestly. This is taken straight from the novels: Shana vol 22 said: It's not a good idea to fight Sydonay with his spear 'Shintetsu Nyoi' equipped. However, Shana and the other three Flame Hazes still made this tough decision. As time was limited, they couldn't use any other cautious methods. However, the kins of the god of creation and their treasure tools have the ability to crush all petty tricks. Thus, they could only fight head on, and look for a slight opening in this tough battle. Shana, Margery and Wilhelmina are amongst the rare few who can find opens in a fight against Sydonay. Even so, a few minutes have passed. During this time, 10 or more ordinary Flame Hazes would be killed in this time. |

| I miss the old Shakugan no Shana. Don't like where this ending is going. |
| I am seriously raging at shana... I don't even care if she dies anymore, that was just going to far. Yuji is doing all of this for her and his loved ones, and they don't respect him whatsoever... I mad. |

The "good guys" are apparently talking about slaughter all the "bad people" and they want to "force rules" in this new world Yuji wants to create". I agree with all of this, also is it just me or was Yuji really weak this episode. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| I think at this point, if you're still classifying the two sides as bad guys and good guys, then you're probably missing a crucial point of the series and watching from a frustratingly limited point of view. I say that, but I still only have the vaguest clue of WTF is going on. |

Siva said: Isn't this the same way back with Shiki? Lol, with Shiki it was a issue of species. Back in Shiki, MAL users showcased their brilliant genocidal tendencies for all to see. Needless to say, these were some of the most facepalm moment in my experience with MAL. Same when Macross Frontier aired. At least the forums haven't degenerated into 2ch or the standard Yahoo comments... yet. Here it's mostly: "I'm cheering for the bad/good guys" and "omg why is Yuji so weak!" Seriously, I can't feel anything but to try to troll people by saying that my brain hurts. |

| Fuck yes go Shana!!! Got really pumped up at the end when she was actually able to break Yuji's shield. Hell yeah she was able to land her spell on that World Egg. I am absolutely loving the way this is going. Hmmm Shana is going reveal her plans next episode, I am excited. Just what in the world is Pheles planning with the Hyakki Yakou? And what the heck is that item that she has? Looked like it completely shocked Rofocale and it could be that unexpected thing that he was mentioning earlier. I can't frigging wait to see how this part will turn out. I've got a feeling its going to play a huggge role in this. Watching those Gods of Motherland fight is just awesome. Just 4 episodes left. :( |
 |
| Lol, that Shana punch was so Seiya like. |
 |
| Another trashy episode full of meaningless dialogue and events. Almost every single thing that happened was an empty filler. Looks like this anime is back to being the piece of crap it was for the first 16 episodes. Why wont JC Staff just die already? |
 |
| I was on the edge of my seat watching this episode! Going to save the last 4 episodes till the whole series is complete now. :( |
 |
| somehow it really starts to bore me .. it drags on too much ( no offense im a SnSD lover ) but really I cant rate it a 10 no more ... but it still is getting interesting |

I say that, but I still only have the vaguest clue of WTF is going on. I think this series has made it clear that the denizens are not any longer "bad guys", and of course since the main protagonist is Shana, it's also doubtful that she's the "bad guy". That said, this anime does not seem to be pulling a "shades of grey" thing either, it loves to darken the mood as the flame hazes lose and lighten the mood when they win. It emotionally portrays the flame hazes as the good guys while logically portraying the Bel Masque as the good guys. It's sort of like "are the good guys actually good? Oh course they are, so tune in next week to find out their justification for fighting!" I don't agree with the comparison to Shiki, because that show was very upfront about neither side being moral, and even that no moral option existed (when you think about it, either the vampires all have to die or else they have to continue eating human, instead of choosing what's "good" you have to choose what's "less evil"). Shakugan no Shana isn't really stressing the moral ambiguities, it's more just trying to confuse the viewer to create suspense. If it wanted to be more like Shiki, they'd give the flame hazes a logical reason to fight. And heck, maybe they actually will, maybe Shana's got an amazing plan to make everything better, but the anime's sure been taking its time revealing it. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Man I got tired of the DBZ aura explosions and energy blasts somewhere half way in the episode. Now I understand why someone could make such a statement of calling shows filled with explosions to be boring. On to the next episode. |
| Yey, nice pretty scenery, nice action, pretty colors and explosion effects. But thats bout all i can say bout this episode. I really don't know what to comment on any more since im so lost, they are introducing new concepts to the plot like every episode. We got this god that supposely this one flame haze can summon, some oracle or rather. Just now talked bout. Since when was yuji able to use that new unrestricted spell? Had no idea that thing in the sky was the "world egg" since it was only talked bout in this current episode. When the hell did shana get all those damn rings? What is their purpose and reasoning, so many damn things can be explored in this series. Honestly a season like this can probably be turned into like a 60 episode anime series and would probably be SOO much better because they would be able to actually explore the characters more, explore all the different elements of the story. anyways, my faith in the show is dwindling lower and lower each episode i watch. |

| What really annoys me is at the start of the season when Yuji comes face to face with Shana, Wilhelmina and Margery - they are absolutely no match for his power at all. And now Shana alone and her stupid fire fist can take Yuji down? |
| "We're nothing more than fools and whores with sad highs" |
| Bullshit. That was full bullshit I would say. These Flame Haze are more selfish than Yuji's plan. |
 |
| I hope Shana enjoys fighting for the next 1000 years, that is what she choose wth that grin. |

| How interesting seems like they will close it all in 4 episodes. Going to leave these 4 episodes for another day but I can't wait to see them. Tennouji_ said: Bullshit. That was full bullshit I would say. These Flame Haze are more selfish than Yuji's plan. mitamaking said: You do realize that the Flame Haze are fighting to protect the future. While Yuji's plan creates safety in one world for just about 1000 years. All flame haze live more than that so they either fight now to protect all the worlds or they fight in 1000 years when it might become impossible to do so.I hope Shana enjoys fighting for the next 1000 years, that is what she choose wth that grin. Well everyone is up to whatever they want to think. I don't really care that much. (Just enough to reply to them :) ). |
 |
| I still can't figure out what are Shana and the Flame Hazes intention. Also, I didn't understood what was that shield Yuuji poped at the end. But, well, there's a lot of thing I don't understand in that anime xD What was does ring supposed to do? What was Bel-Peol doing? What the rose Flame Hazes (forgot his name) was talking about requesting the help of ''that god''? Why was Rofocale so surprised by that thing in the car? Was that thing suppose to represent Yoshida? Did Pheles lend her some kind of weird power? Those weird tiger arm from Sydonay were fucking hilarious xD |

| I wanna see Bel Peol fight. |
| Shana went Akainu mode at the end :P |

Sugram22 said: A single boy proving this mean nothing. Even in real life there are people who can prove that living with a lion/tiger side by side is possible but would you do it yourself? Remember that nurse who got turned into Shiki but she chose death instead of sucking human blood. So yes, there are good Shiki but that is a very rare case and that also mean nothing compare to the population of Shiki. Lets say that both party somehow got into peace treaty. But will it last? I would say no. Shiki is a blood sucking creature. There are billion of human on the planet and there are 151,600 of us dies everyday. It is natural for people to die everyday but for the one who lost their love one they will always try to find something to blame on. And it will only be a matter of time before Shiki has to take all the blame and an all out war will happen. The reason Shiki can never co-exist with Human because Shiki has a weakness, they need human blood. Human will never want to be a food for another creature when they could simply get rid of that creature.the boy proved co-existence is possible, but shiki were dumb and chose dumb path that lead to bloodshed, yea humans went nuts to killed even their own, but what u expect of ppl who didn't believe in that sort of stuff and new truth is been slapped at their face suddenly, but all that blood is still on Shiki 90% |

| I still don't know what's going on. Watching in high speed. Shana punched through a shield i think |
 |
| It is hard to tell which side is going to win at this point. But Shana seems to have gotten the upper hand for now. Yuji's own unrestricted spell was interesting. |
| Well, I guess his weakening by Johann worked. Still a lot of randomness and mindless fighting though. And I don't like how flame hazes approach is considered the winning one while they are the bad guys too. I mean, has anyone of them even asked themselves what would happen if they win? And implications of that? They basically don't want to change the status quo. But considering how this series is, they will probably face this question only after the deed. Meanwhile, Yuuji's small brother (who isn't already dead unlike him) is about to be born (to everyone's surprise no less, hm). |
| I still miss the focus on Shana and Yuuji's relationship back in S1/S2. They introduced 100+ eps. worth of characters in such a short time. This kind of massive clash is good if there were 5 seasons of build up IMO. I'm curious what game changing plan Shana has though. |
