----------------------------------------
This was a kick ass episode! Riko kissed Kinji in the following,

HOLY SHIT! I would never think she would do it but somehow I could not believe the LN spoilers about it or rather I was not sure. Regardless the last episode will have another most amazing fight since Riko totally flipped out in the spoiler
that smile! That attack posture! Wild! I love it!

Kinji looked so blush with that Aria confession in the following,

unfortunately I am not so sure it was Aria or Riko imitating her so that Kinji gets the hysteria mode on. I will bet more on Riko imitating it.

  • Kinji looked so Splinter Cell in the spoiler
    No mistake about it.

  • I have not seen such a laser scene in the spoiler
    since like mission impossible. Been a while but that whole segement was awesome!

  • Aria looked so adorable with her face in the following spoiler
    being afraid of lighting and she did quite a choke hold here on Kinji. I wonder if he saw them or the skirt hid it somehow.

  • Loved Aria's clothing in the spoiler
    and Riko got that imitation of that girl pretty damn good.
Perhaps I will write more later.

Riko vs Aria and Kinji next episode and Riko's request was a big set up from the beginning. Aria looked nice in the maid out fit and that move.

Did anyone notice the preview for the next episode where Aria named some male protangonist characters from other anime O_O? Yuuji from Shakugan no Shana, Saito from Zero no Tsukaima, and finally Kinji said "Ryuuji", a reference to Toradora!, where both voice actors Kugimiya Rie and Majima Junji voice the main characters.

Apart from that, afterall, Riko is still a badass woman despite their efforts of being allies with her.

    I'm really torn appart... I want to see the next episode, but I don't want to admit that Hidan no Aria ended... so much more material to turn to anime...

    K, as for the episode; well, nothing too unpredictable happened. Kinji rly has to learn getting in HSS by his own.

    It was really strange that in the part after the communications were cutted he moved, he bit too much, and it should have triggered the alarm.

    Well, now this ep explains the smille Riko made back in the eps were she was crying about her rosario.

    Edit: Forgot to metion that the reference to other animes in the PV was awesome; rlu love these seiyuu!!!

    For the most part the episode was pretty much a let down not really a fan of the maid butler thing.
    The last part however was pretty good and there where some suggestions ones again that the teacher is Vlad.
    First of the fact that he was only eating medium cooked meat seems to go inline with the vampire werewolf thing that seems to be suggested with his supposedly immortal life.
    Then the part where he spoke Romanian and the fact that he mentioned that the owner of the house was from Romania.
    And Romania is famous for being the country of vampires and werewolves.

    It was obvious it was a trap and i thought that the would be trapped allot earlier but that Riko herself set the trap alone came as a surprise i was almost certain that she was working together with Vlad.

    Yup that is one clue that I noticed, I did not think that he had a werewolf aspect so far as of this episode. I though red wine and red in the meat would be just a blood replacement thingy.

    Exactly too! ROFL we are so in sync. I though the same thing to have my suspicion arise and there are also the bats in the beginning.

    LOL, RIKO YOU ARE SUCH A TROLL XD Good job on kissing Kinji! :3 Ah well, another fight should be good lol
    Dunno how they did it through those crazy laser beams though. Awkward Aria is awkward. Plus lol @ the end, who are you? Ryuuji! XD Haha :P
    That teacher guy is obviously kinda suspicious though. Dunno if he's actually Vlad though ;O
    Didn't find Aria that annoying this episode actually. Except for the needless fanservice :(
    What happened to Shirayuki? Is she just gone now? D;

    I was hoping to see Kinji being in a pinch to retrieve the rosario but the hysteria mode made his operation so smooth and perfect. I got a bit disappointed with that XDD but it was still amazing nevertheless XDD

    And yet....Why would Riko bring on Hysteria mode just before the fight starts? Is this just typical bad guy arrogance, or is there a little plot twist coming (like with the wolves)?

    Great episode either way and breaking the fourth wall in the preview just made it more so.
    Please don't feed the trolls!

    Well she likes him and she wanted to take down Aria, as she is her rival.

    A kiss for her, make Aria jealous, and make Kinji in top condition for a face-off to prove herself.

    3 birds with one stone.

    Pretty much. The condition is for her to beat Holmes at her best. That of course means Aria's partner also has to be at his best. It's not her being arrogant, rather it is a forced requirement for her victory to be valid.

    No, that's her being arrogant. She has no chance to beat a pissed off Aria and Histeria Mode-Kinji. And even if she had one, then why she makes her fight harder? If she uses her brain, she'll realize that it's much easier to fight both when they're not at their best shape, but why expecting rational reasoning from someone that was abused by a criminal mastermind and forced to fight for his organization, and instead of rebelling and searching help from the pepole she's now fighting she's ok with all of this? Riko is really an incoherent character.

    Anyways, this episode was ridiculous as usual. The writers think they are really smart by keeping the twists hidden but anyone can see them form a mile long. Riko actually turns against our heroes? Yeah, didn't see that one coming! Just like the fact that Sayonaki sensei totally isn't Vlad, he isn't the one that sent the white wolf into the school and he isn't a social darwinist!
    Oh, wait.

    It was freaking predictable that Riko would turn on them after they did that for her. I couldn't understand why Kinji and Aria agreed to help her in the first place after all she has done. Oh well...

    Next is the final showdown!

    Riko doesn't seem to have lost her attitude and it's all good now. Let's just hope for a good ending.
    The teacher... well he was cool.
    I still can't get how Kinji prefers Aria to Riko or Shirayuki :D

    Never trusted Riko, even when i heard about her childish. Man, i was so suprised when Riko was speaking as Aria, that Aria will do everything Kinji want, and Kinji can do everything he can do to Aria all night long.
