| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- WOW, intense, that Suzuha fight with Kagari and then Kagari knowing about her mother and her parties and that Mozart key which triggered her brainwashing. There is literally no breaks in this anime. That Initial-D reference, loved it. The facility is creepy, unsettling and that nod to the Professor. Now we are going on a week hiatus, probably meaning new OP and ED song or visuals.      The Upa looks like it's crying in the end. What a nasty nudge. I love it! |

| Ruined laboratory. Man, Okabe need some stamina and cardio. :D |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Mayushii is the best mother she could have wished for. Damn, the happiness is gone again, the ones who did that to Kagari need to be tortured! |
 |
| Another episode with a lot of new content, they show us were Kagari was hold all this time, and they did in a wonderful way with LAST GAME. Moeka as a part of Okabe's team is also great. |
| I was getting vibes all episodes …something will happen to kagari…. Oooh and then it happened |
 |
| Brainwashing? Sleeper agent? mmmmm. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| She's definitely brainwashed :| really great yet sad development... especially that ending! I do wonder what they'll find in that building! |
 |
| Let's go! I'm ready to see what this brainwashed chick will do. |
 |
| Brainwashing... Everything was going smoothly till that damm car with the mozart song appeared. Dr Lenisken is the one that was behind her brainwash, the voice of god and all of this was before she traveled in time and the reason she pointed a gun at Suzuha uh. And the ending was very fitting. Hyped for next episode. |
| Brainwashing! Yes, that must be the case! So from Kagari's flashback, it seems like the 'treatment' is actually a brainwashing procedure. If it was to erase her PTSD from the war it made sense. But it seems like her being brainwashed is related to the creation of the Amadeus system. She's one of the samples! Now I get it. She's one of the members of the black squad that infiltrated Okabe's lab. Specifically, the one that got kicked by Suzuha on the hand! So this American squad might just be a group of brainwashed people that seems normal until a Mozart's piece activate their brainwashed and controllable state. Goddammit! That truck came at the wrong place and at the wrong time... Fire its driver pls The ED song fits perfectly with the extended scenes. Especially when Okabe discovered the room with scattered writings of 'MOMMY!' everywhere. Could this be the place where she has spent the 12 years of her life? Now I demand to know the people behind all this shit! |

The black squad wanted to capture her Oh crap, my mistake. Upon hearing Kagari's 'code' that she had when she was a child, I instantly thought that she was the person whose identity is a code. But I was assuming that it's the same code so that's a mistake. But I do still believe that Kagari is one of the black squad members! |

| Lol'd at the Initial D driving scene. |
 |
| Lmao I knew Daru would get turned on by the scene with Kagari and Mayurii with the banana :D Whelp we found out that the 12 year skip had to do with Kagari being a "runaway" that they mentioned last episode, she got captured for that time. Looks like she got brainwashed back in the future with that shady doctor we got a preview of. Absolutely saddening to see that room where she got locked into. And now she's gone again ... |
 |
| Brainwashing, that's not something I enjoy having in my S;G universe :| Won't miss Kagari, that's for sure. |
  |
| What a cliffhanger! So Kaguri was basically tortured, and now the torturer has kidnapped her?! |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Mayuri is a partier. I mean, just because Kagari regained her memories they have to held a party? lol. Maho may not know that Leskinen had a hidden agenda. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Oh boy, shit's getting real now! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Lmao Moeka going full initial D on that mountain So Kagari has something to do with the amadeus system, interesting |
 |
| So things finally started moving, huh? I guess that the original story did spend quite some time in innocent slice-of-life too after all. |
  |
| Things finally start moving forward. The beginning was very awkward and unnatural though, Kagari's reactions after regaining her memories were...eeehh...not exactly believable. I expected better direction. Also I don't appreciate the use of ending song during the anime, it just did not fit the situation. I could've felt more emotions during the wall shot if it wasn't shown with the ED song. |
Ulquiorra said: Mayushii is the best mother she could have wished for. Damn, the happiness is gone again, the ones who did that to Kagari need to be tortured! It appears that our good friend Professor Alexis Leskinen is likely involved. That doctor in the future looked a hell of a lot like an older version of Leskinen. So my guess is that he took samples of Kagari for Amadeus in the future and perhaps he then found her back in 1998 and recognized his future work and proceeded to build it - along with a time machine perhaps. If that's the case that would render Amadeus a predestination paradox, just like the song in the previous episode. What I cannot get or accept is why/how they show Mayuri in 2036 without having aged a day though 26 years have passed. Unless that's a past Mayuri who time traveled to the future (doubtful) this was a very poor choice. |

Btw, Japanese people doesn't really age in their early years xD |

Btw, Japanese people doesn't really age in their early years xD I thought the only different part about her was in her voice. Her VA Kana Hanazawa appears to speak in a bit more mature, or at least less childish way. Visually I saw no difference. |
|
| inb4 that's actually the AH Tokyo General hospital, can't be since it's in the mountains area after all. But that was such a nice inclusion to the story, it was never mentioned where Kagari has been for the past 12 years in the VN |
| Why was Karagi even allowed to be alone? That's just straight up stupid but whatever. The brainwashing is real, done by a weirdass doctor. So she's a sample of Amadeus. AND DAMN THAT ENDING, fucking scary as hell. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| When Kagari started remembering we saw an old man doctor he was holding the paperwork that said Amadeus System Sample K6205 if you look closely he looks like the American professor but old |
 |
| ..honestly feel like mayuri would & should have a better/ more mature understanding of what okabe tells her about kagari in the beginning. her response just makes her sound more dumb than in the 1st season & that unnecessary consciously decided buttshot of suzuha made me roll eyes so bad, its cringe |
 |
| Things finally getting real interesting. Kagari got detained and brainwashed for 12 years and was just plainly tragic, it seems obvious but I still hope Leskinen wasn't the one behind this, especially with the Amadeus system sample shown in the test paper. The reveal of the doodles in the wall is straightly terrifying, brings up many questions and assembled many unsorted puzzle pieces. |
 |
| I thought they wanted kaguri to be inside and to be always with someone. Why she running around so much by herself lately lol So the brainwashing/memory wipe was obvious. Though does it go super far back when she was in the future though or was that actually just ptsd treatment. |
| it's too convenient for the characters, "I'll say a line to finally give out that my memories are different, then when she asked, I'll give back the accent so that you finally ask that our memories are not the same," naturally, it's so convenient that Okarin found this place on the first attempt, you see, they still found the LEVER, exactly on the same day, she caught PTSD, it's strange so far, that is, they are trying to make the plot focus on some specific character (not even the main one), and this has a difference with the original S;G. So far, it's strange to be honest, the first 6 episodes are an introduction, you can still understand, then there were three or four good episodes, although slightly like this, it seemed to be addressed to the fans, and now they let the slack go back. |
| It's damn cruel how they made Mayuri wish Kagari just ruined her own surprise party by arriving early after all. Also, INITIAL D MOEKA |
