Sry Quinza, no sympathy for you. Thanks for dying!

Sigh, this show is painful to watch. Why the hell is Kajika still withholding her relation to Lumati from him? Come on, there was a perfect setup for her to explain everything to him in this episode. But nope. Instead Kajika opens her big mouth and likens her love for Lumati/Eugene/Carl to her love for the wind and the trees. Right, okay. I don't know why I expected anything more from her. After all -- and Kajika said it herself -- she's the annoying kind of person who loves love.

Speaking of, where the hell is Carl? I want to see him get upset when he hears that Kajika loves Li-Ren. >:D

Also someone else tell me that they picked up on major NoeixSezun vibes from this episode, and it's not just my yaoi-saturated brain talking. X3

This is just all kinds of wrong. Why out of all is Lumati still not aware of Kajika's true identity and even more important, that they share the same blood. Ugh. She makes him suffer for the wrong reasons. And alright, go ahead, make it official with Li-ren already, that's all what we've all been dying for? Or not. Haircut was a pro, though.

Sorry, yamasaki, I was too busy thinking about the far off possibility of Zao and Carl to think about Noei and Sezun.

This episode was what it was. I hope I don't have to hear anyone comment on how mature Rumati is, just because he put on new clothes, anymore. Also, was it just me, or did Somand seem touched in the head at the end of the episode?

LOL, okay, so that would be hilarious. I'm still holding out for a CarlxNajayra ending, though. :P

Carl should be with a man, in my gay fantasies. Same with Li-Ren, but if he's a pedo, that's none of my business.

Quinza had an end befitting to his complex character and we saw that it won't be so easy for Lee-Leng and Kajika's relationship. The family seems especially pissed off at Lee-Leng resigning from his position and the split screen (plus the kind of "last farewell" sound) when he and Kajika part ways seems to indicate that they could very well never meet again.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Again the eyes. The same in the previous episode.
Ah Quinza. He really loves R/Lumaty. That was a good scene. And, the flash back with marbles built another Quinza's story.
Yay, new hairstyle for Li-Ren. Isn't he looks hot:3
And Lumaty proposed again...
It's a very nice episode overall.

Ah well. It can't be helped. Just waiting for when/if Lumati finds out. It better be when.

I would die from laughing if Kajika and Li-Ren really won't ever meet again. XD I don't dislike their pairing or anything, I just think it would be fun to see everyone ending up alone after all they've been going through.

But that's just my sadistic side, I guess.

Oh noes! why did Li-ren cut his hair in that nerdy way!?? *dies* The way his hair was before made him more bishie...>_<....
Concerning Quinza...unexpectedly I didn't really hate the guy [ might be the Koyasu Takehito effect :X:X ] ...R.I.P. for him.

After I was just really starting to not hate Quinza too..this episode made me seriously cry when he died. He was such a difficult character to understand. Even though you knew how Quinza really felt, the things he said made you think otherwise. It really screwed with your head, as it should have. Even in the end he was trying to take all the blame, but I guess Lumati saw through a bit of it. I'm glad Lumati and Najayra were there with him before he died.

Well, Quinza's dead. 'Bout time is all I can say. I felt more for Rumaty when he was rejected than for Quinza when he died. :/

This.

And that Carl was forgotten was kind of weird.

Ah, another one who doesn't like her.
At least she's honest. Can't really blame her for liking a bunch of powerful, good-looking guys being after her.

Quinza's dying took way too long. *boring*
And seriously: WTF. Yeah, you killed a few dozen, but you did it for your king, so it's OK and we all forgive you. Yay.

I guess not many felt for Quinza, huh. The moment Quinza talked with Najayra, my tears were already piling up, then when he stabbed himself and Najayra not allowing others to come close to Quinza and Rumaty, I cried. He, for me, is one of the best character in the whole series, especially at the end, where he feel sorry for what he have done, but did not regretted it, and hope for the best of Rumaty, wishing that Najayra and maybe Somand would help him(Rumaty) out

The first half was really good.
Koyasu Takehito did a wonderful job with Quinza, then again he always does a wonderful job with all the characters he voices.
Najayra came out of nowhere in that Quinza/Rumarty scene though.

I kind of feel bad for Rumarty but he can do better than Kajika.

The fuck is this comment? Of course Somand wasn't right in the head.
God I wish I was here in 2010 so that I could reply to comments like these and still be relevant.

It got real fast. No bullshit. No compromise.
Takehito Koyasu steals a show again.
Always like Kajika. Sure, this last arc is all about royals and Quinza.
But the first half Kajika is gold. She's straightforward. She always knows what she likes. She understands her own feelings. (not regarding Li-ren though, but their love needs hardship to mature anyway)

Hard to feel bad for Quinza. His reign of terror was to root out the rot, but apparently 1 blown up helicopter would have sufficed, no need to revoke all social securities and institute detention camps. He had so much power he could have just guided Somand to the right path instead while getting rid of the bad influences.

Judged by the law, kind of assumed they changed for the worse in the last 2 years...

So did Somand abdicate or was he never really the king at all?

For Quinza, I don't know, I feel like the biggest punishment is make him suffering by stay alive. But on the other hand I also agree that giving Quinza the right to die was the right decision.
He took his own life.... and Sezun became a priest :( Sezun is a good person, indeed.

After Eugene, now Rumaty. I think the next episode is Carl who has to be ready to be rejected. So I thought, isn't this a little cruel? Harry basically made Kajika met these 3 men only for the men to be rejected in the end. I know that they fell in love with Kajika because of Kajika's personality but if Kajika hadn't been told about these 3 "different" men, maybe Kajika wouldn't have even noticed their presence as potential husbands :( And why does Li-Ren seem so angry in the preview? It must have something to do with the Fang group and Kajika right....

Also I want to give applause to the mangaka because Kajika changes clothes very often. And all her clothes were so fashionable and beautiful, especially the dress in this ep... it made her looked like a sweet and graceful young lady.

Last but not least, oh my God... Li-Ren in a suit and different hairstyle made me automatically pause it and take a deep breath, omg. :"D
