| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Dat spectral visuals with a naked Satoru strange insight. More fights against those rat creatures this time as well. Lol, this shit never ends. The war against the rat creatures and moles along with the soundtrack was a nice watch though. Interesting ending as well. |

kpk10 said: Wait no preview for episode 7? Noticed that as well. Usually when that happens, something significant happens that episode. It's been Saki and Satou the last two episodes now. Wonder how the others are doing... |

| the music in this episode was ace |
kpk10 said: I'm guessing episode 7 will be the last before the time skip... That was my conclusion also. Good to see the animation back to the pre-episode-five standard. Got a bit trippy though, early in the episode. |
| Good use of powers and also much better animation than the disaster that occurred last episode. |
 |
| OMG! such a good ep and will definitely win back some fans |
| what was wrong with Satoru while saki was trippin'. He suddenly went from ok to some kind of wreck.. Was certainly an odd sequence, I'll have to look at it again. |
| This episode felt like 5 minutes Glad that the old style is back I just can't stop thinking that the rats intentionally guide them through that dangerous path so that they can annihilate the tarantulas along the way And btw.. Stark700 said: God I love that smile |
| I think this episode is kinda disappointing, so many irrelevant things like how did they get the power back, and tbh this episode was a mess when they suddenly escaped and start slaughtering. Satorou was a meh, and either was Saki, she spoke some nonsense stuffs then Satorou got the power back. These animations were poorly done, like those trees flied around seems silly to me. So instead of getting the power to find the other, they chose to use it to wage a war, with silly reasoning like " it's better use for offense". And how Satorou kept being stubborn and said they had no other choices. Stark700 said: Dat spectral visuals with a naked Satoru strange insight. that was not satorou, its Shun. |

She returned his mantra, which is how the power is locked by the temple. I knew that she returned his mantra back, but the thing I didn't know that she has the power to do so, and why she didn't use it sooner after the monk was killed so she could return everyone's mantra back. |
| Most enjoyable episode yet. Takana_no_Hana said: I knew that she returned his mantra back, but the thing I didn't know that she has the power to do so, and why she didn't use it sooner after the monk was killed so she could return everyone's mantra back. She only knows Satoru's mantra. That's what the classroom scene was about. Not sure why she didn't do it earlier, maybe the idea never crossed her mind. |
AiCon said: Not sure why Saki didn't bother to ask Satoru to do the same to her when they still relatively safe after they first came out of that hole. It would have made things a lot easier on the both of them had she done that. I hadn't thought about that. That whole first scene was really beyond me, what with Saki tripping out and Satoru having some sort of weird breakdown. |
| Each time I sit down to watch an episode of this anime, when the ending song start I'm like... WTH it's been 20 minutes already!?! Seems like Satoru just want to slaughter them once Saki gave him his power back lol... I'm wondering why he doesn't seem to react to the killing in any way. Or is it because it doesn't apply to those little 'Nezumi' guys. He seemed fucking tired near the end tho and I'm thinking all of this was some kind of plot to make them do all the work. I felt like the scene were too fast one after the other but I guess they wanted to make it quick too... maybe. I don't really get why Satoru seemed fine in the beginning and then he suddenly looked like he wasn't feeling good at all... Maybe that was just me but, I didn't really get it. Good thing Saki knew his Mantra. He's pretty badass with his power =P |

I know what part you are talking about, I didn't know what happened there either lol He was fine and then turned all depress. |
|
| this is what i though happened, when saki and satoru were in the class room chatting satoru didn't see what saki's word was but saki saw satorus after she used lead to see it printed on the piece of paper. that's why saki could awaken his but he couldn't awaken hers. i dunno that's just what i thought and it probably only occurred to saki after the library monster appeared and probably put the memory back in her head. but that's just my opinion, correct me if im wrong, yadiyadiyadda. |
Bouum said: He didn't know HER Mantra. She cheated to see his ;) And yeah... I know what part you are talking about, I didn't know what happened there either lol He was fine and then turned all depress. Yeah but she could have just told him what her mantra was then and there in the cave. There must be something we all seem to have missed that explains why they didn't just do that. Edit: Do they forget their mantra when they have their powers taken away? That would make sense. |

Edit: Do they forget their mantra when they have their powers taken away? That would make sense. Would be way to easy to just tell each other their own mantra to have their power back when the Priest took them so I'm pretty sure... like you said, they probably forgot their Mantra when they lost it. It would make sense. That's what I thought at first but I'm not sure if I just assumed that was the case or if they actually said something related to that. |

AiCon said: But Saki did know her mantra. She wanted to show it to Satoru back at the classroom but didn't since Satoru didn't want to share his. She didn't want to be the only one to be sharing. Yeah but... No. Not what I meant. I mean... I'm thinking She forgot her own Mantra when the Priest took their Power from them. Making it impossible for them to get it back.. I'm guessing it is unusual to tell someone your Mantra. They showed us the Scene in the Classroom to explain why she knows Satoru's Mantra. |
|
| Awesome episode. Like some, I feel like its always too short. Satoru did a great job, and yeah, they most likely do forget their mantras, so they can't do much to get it back unless someone else knows it. That's most likely the reason their not allowed/supposed to tell anyone what they are, so someone else can't just give it back to them. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| I see a lot of discussions here already, but I start to get lost about which question gets answered and which not. If someone can summarize what they still want to clarify, post a summary and I'll see if I can answer them. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
symbv said: I see a lot of discussions here already, but I start to get lost about which question gets answered and which not. If someone can summarize what they still want to clarify, post a summary and I'll see if I can answer them. Any significance behind the out of the blue mind tripping at the beginning of the episode leading into Saki restoring Satoru's Cantus? I think the main theory that needs to be validated is does one loose memory of their "mantra" once it has been taken away? Saki was able to give Satoru his Cantus back because she recalled his from a memory but he is unable to give Saki hers back through the same means because nobody (including herself) know it? Additionally, does anyone have the power to bestow or return a Cantus to an individual because I would figure that would be a "master" like art? How is Satoru escaping the death feedback phenomena or is his being "tired" in fact that feedback that we saw the Monk experience. Aside from that, the pace of this episode was pretty quick. The mind tripping at the beginning of the episode was weird. Suddenly trapped to wiping out hoards of foes. That talking rat is super shady man. |

AiCon said: I do agree that he's tired but if that's true then why is it that the priest suffered every time he killed those mole rats? Because they triggered that mechanism in the priest's brain. It doesn't set off for Satoru because he doesn't consider them humanoid lifeforms, or something like that. |
| What an exciting episode, Satoru gets his Juryoku back after some manipulation from Saki and some nice roasting. Still don't trust Squealer at all. Interesting stuff. |

| Alright ! So... I was curious and watched the scene where the Priest took their Power and Mantra and he said that they would never again remember their Mantra. Saki couldn't tell Satoru her Mantra because She doesn't remember anymore. The Class scene happened in the past and she remembered Satoru's Mantra = He got his Power Back |

Still curious how it seems like anyone (Saki in this case) who is assumingly knowledgeable of Cantus has the ability or authority to return/bestow a sealed Cantus. |
| So no preview this time. Interesting to see what happen next. |

| Following week will be so long while waiting for the next episode. |

 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
