Dat photograph. Also nice to see a new character introduced. I lol'd @ the pool scene. Getting kicked into the pool like that by Kyosuke, ha! Oh and him kicking ass in the air was a pleasant sight this episode for me.

Is Hyoubu really going to kill him? Hard to imagine.

Uh Oh undercover investigator Andy Hinomiya, you're screwed.....

Andy's mission was to recover an object called the Ichahigo which allows the ship to be as awesome it is(Stealth, Flying, etc). It would be a huge asset to any of the three organizations after it. We also got a sneak peek at one of Hyobu's old friends who's bound to a journal through blood which it seems we'll learn more about in a flashback for the next couple of weeks in a mini arc. I liked how they showed the camera angles on Andy and Hyobu when they were suspecting each other however it would have felt nice if they showed it at the beginning when Andy first joined instead of all at the end where so much happened.

This episode really hammered in the point Hyobu is really close to Death's stroke. He went Unlimited at the beginning of the fight so he could just floor the Queen who was buying time for Andy to steal from the boat. Out of this whole thing though, the relationship development between Yugiri and Andy this episode was surprising and I can see colliding with the showdown. Does she like Hyobu or Andy more? I have no idea how this is going to play out and it's exciting as hell

Probably not,since either hyobu and andy said they have only 1 year,i don't see neither one of them dying right now.

Also Andy show up in the manga?

DAT CLIFFHANGER! It's obvious Andy wont die (yet) but how could they end the episode like that! Though looks like next ep is Hyoubu backstory.

Out of all series this winter, this one probably has me the most invested in it's story, I just cannot wait to see what happens next. 5/5

Really good episode.

I wonder if they'll kill off Hyobu before the last ep...because from what I see from the severity of his symptoms and how desperate he seems...that he really doesn't have much time left to live :(...hope that they at least keep him alive til last ep.

Also it was nice to see he's way stronger than queen...this ep proves that he was only playing around with her last time...he totally floored her this time.

Still Yugiri sooooo cute...how can Andy betray such a cute girl, c'mon man I know u'll choose the right answer. Really want to know how this will progress. Can't wait to see Hyobu's past nxt ep.

Ha. The funny thing that next arc is taken from manga. And Yay, Hyoubu/Andy version of Britest light. To bad they don't use this ED for all eps. And twice bad that preorders for this great show are so-so (

Aww. Looks like we have to wait a few weeks before we get to see what happens to Andy and Kyousuke. Well at least we get some backstory of Kyousuke, so that should be interesting.

Wait? They're actually devoting at least 2 episodes to canon manga material?!?!
I honestly did not see that coming. At all.

Oh, and I have to love Patty getting dirty thoughts . . . again. Nice to know they're throwing some love out to manga readers.

Normally i would think that Kyousuke has plot armor enough to survive despite his condition but now I'm seriously wondering if he will die off before it all ends.

Seems like we will be getting our crucial flashbacks, it something i really look forward to since it will be essential to Kyousuke's development.

I doubt he will kill Andy but then again...he may very well try i just think something will happen before Andy actually dies.

So, as predicted by others, Andy and USEI were after I-8...

Not to mention the prediction of destruction of the Queen of Catastrophe has a Predictive Alteration Level of unpredictable. Seems like a first in the entire franchise that it happened with the exception of the prediction that drives the main story and even that was never explicitly given a predictive change level.

On another note, it looks like the next couple of episodes will be adapting the Generation Zero Arc from the manga to some extent. Definitely love hoe this anime is turning out. Manglobe is showing some love for the manga readers.

As for the cliffhanger, Andy is not gonna die just yet. It's too early for that. As for Hyoubu, he is definitely not gonna die. At least definitely not before this happens...
[Chapter 290: The ESPer Boy Has Returned Home (7)]

Loved the new ED with Andy and Hyoubu. They should use that one and Brightest Light more often.
Glad to see that they stopped using the same footage for Kyousuke releasing his limiter. And of course, an appearance by Kaoru is always a good thing... :P

yup! I knew the device that Andy was looking for was Igou 8 (pretty obvious if they wanna stay loyal to content) It was laid out pretty well that Hyoubu knew from the beginning abt Andy. Hyoubu's just that kind of person. I dont usually hate their presence, but Kaoru was jut being reallly extra in the episode.

So the next episode, are they are gonna animate "Missing Link" arc? That might be the only official manga content that they are animating into this spin off! XD LOL. I guess because it's the past so it doesnt affect the spin off series. Wondering if they are gonna show

I actually believe that US will betray Andy and not listen to him and still try to bring the military force.
Whatever he will probably switch side and yeah I don't think Andy will die yet, the foolish kid was himself.

Well, Kyousuke defeating Queen with 0 troubles was fun to watch. This episode in general was really great, I doubt Andy is going to die, but still I can't wait to see what's going to happen since there's no way for me to predict it.

This series is truly amazing . really . It never became disappointing .
The storytelling is pretty solid . The visuals are awesome .It's OP/EDs are terrific . I think there's nothing I can hate in here .

The only thing that irked me this episode was when Hyoubu and co. went and tried to ambush the cars . They werent supposed to ask the driver of the car to give up the items , they should had done it the PANDRA way and stole the van directly and went somewhere . =.="

and so Andy was given a choice , and he picked the choice to side with the normals ... which he will probably regret later on if he knows what is about to happen . I wonder how he felt when he thought of betraying his recent 'allies' and all . Especially Yuugiri .

About Kaoru , she is just as restless as always . Good thing Hyoubu roflstomped here to shut her down .She's just accelerating Hyoubu's death because of him releasing his limiter everytime he stops her .

So I have thoughts of how the ship will sink based on BABEL's precognition :
a) Ihachigo gets broken/stolen making the ship sink because it has lost its controls . b) USEI uses military force to get Ihachigo causing the ship to break and sink . c) Hyoubu gets too carried away with his powers then breaks the ship . d)An unknown esper shows up .e)Utsumi raged . f)IT hits an iceberg . So in other words , BABEL indirectly caused the ship sinking because
But seriously , I cant wait anymore . This curiousness is killing me .And does anyone know when they will release the album of Brightest Light and Darkest Light ? They're so awesome .

So next episode/s are gonna be flashbacks . This is gonna be interesting . I never expected this series to be like this . This is pretty much the best series of the season .
oh and Hyoubu and Fujiko ... HNNNNNNNNNNNNG

Hyobou is honestly such a cool character, he has a mindset and won't let anything interfere with it even if it means using his limiter to shorten his life EVEN more. Ahh this anime is probably the best out right now (winter)

Yeah... I get the feeling that they will bring in the military force. He will try to protect Yugiri and all that good stuff. You know the US - always bringing in the army.

But I still kinda find it lame that Andy's powers are on the lame-ish side.

Great episode, funny when they both knew that Andy had been watching the conversation and when he was thrown in the pool. Next episode is a flashback I hope it's not more than two episodes because that would really cut down on the time left for plot development in present time. There's no way Andy would die so I wonder what's going to happen. Hopefully nothing big happens that would wreck the awesome diologue that the characters have, by this I mean the attitudes towards each other.

Kaoru is supposed to be 10 years old, but she looks like she's 16. Maybe this is just later than the MAL entry says?

She still sounds like an adult woman. Or a man. lmao.

That would be at the current point in the manga. However, given the chronology of events combined with some dialogue that gave it away, Patty being in the Catastrophe, etc. She is only just barely younger than 13 since this is before Feather's first appearance.
