Awesome episode. I really wasnt expecting much from Chidori, figuring her 'bodyguard' would be expecting her the whole time, but she surprised us both. Its nice that hanging out with Sousuke has rubbed off some tactics on her. As expected from an adaptation I guess, most other anime would have probably kept her helpless.

Cant believe they killed off one of the twins already too, the other one is going to be...pissed.

So far, a great season, better than the first.

Really, a great series! Better than the 1st season! That's Kyo-Ani for you.

He said that he is also one of a kind like Chidori, right?

So, boys can be Whispered too?! LOL!

Kind of assumed he was a Whispered from the start. Both brother and sister were geniuses, with the elder brother being a step above the latter Tessa. However, didn't expect him to kiss her like that. Also his line "I meant it when I said I love you" straight off of Outlaw Star if anyone's seen that before with the bad guy being in love with the lead female protagonist.

Chidori's actions were quite surprising in this episode. All thanks to the paranoia ways Sousuke practically displayed embedded in her mind and she's just reinacting what he would've done. However, with the fall and nakedness and all, she fails at being the silent killer ninja, but manages to beat "wraith" and the young assassin? Sigh sigh... whatever :) Still liking the story.

This episode was really amazing. Now, the fact Kaname Chidori is a very clever person was already known, but this made my respect for her leap into new heights. The world needs more people like her, especially anime with all those helpless girls.

Well, it stands to reason that Kaname picked up some skills from being around Sousuke all the time. I say well done.

I'm upset they killed one of the twins, though. I thought they were two of the best things about this series so far.

Huh. I expected some melodrama in this ep since Chidori is such a vapid bitch but I gotta give her some credit. Definitely interesting and the whole Testarossa thing would make Shamalyan perk his eyebrows up. But what the hell was up with the fat survelliance guy? I mean he sounded robotic on the phone (moreso in Japanese than English) and when they shot him it looked like it was a mask....and one of the sisters.....hmmm interesting.

This series is definitely much better than the 1st. Better pacing, tighter focus (no more highschool bullshit), nicer art and good music (speaking of which anyone know the name of the track playing when Chidori makes her final speech before the end of the ep? Kinda jazzy...slow paced song)

I was also quite impressed with her action skills until she started weeping for Sousuke, which rather ruined the effect to my mind!

I'd say give her a break. I think just about anyone in her position would have a small breakdown after everything that happened hit her. She's spent at least the last couple of days under heavy stress, had to track down the person spying on her, was nearly killed by a blade wielding lunatic, saw said lunatic get chocked to death by a mini AS, and then got kissed by a weird guy (sorry for those who like him). I think a breakdown that she quickly recovered from was acceptable and doesn't take anything away from what she did.

Regardless I say great job to Chidori. For someone without much experience she managed to survive. Considering she was up against someone that nearly killed Mao that's not bad at all. Figured out how she was being tracked, managed to track down and surprise Wraith, and even got that stun gun shot in. Without training all she had to rely on was some experience from being around Sousuke, her athletic strength and pure guts.

Still I'm sure she's hoping to never need to do something like that ever again.

Yeah, Chidori just became one of my favorite characters. I thought nothing would beat episode 6, I was wrong.

I think it isn't just Kyoani, I think the overall story is just plain better. I do have to hand it to Kyoani as far as pacing and writing. But, I think the Light Novel deserves some credit as well.

Wow, this episode was amazing. Very intense and very dramatic. It seems those 6 months of chidori living with sosuske has really payed off. She was definitely the star in this episode. She finally learned how to stay alive with out the need of her bodyguard. Amazing job, chidori. i can't help but feel very sory for her though, all the pain she is going through knowing that she is being watched all the time.

I don't understand why she had to take her clothes off though, what was the reason for that? lol

I swear to god somewhere in this season they (cast, directors, writers) all of a sudden discovered divine inspiration. Like seriously, this episode doesn't even seem like it belongs in the same show as an episode from the first season, it's in a completely different ballpark. I'm frustrated that all this talent went to waste in the first season. (well, not waste, because the 1st season wasn't bad at all, but you know what I mean...)

This episode is pretty awesome. I was pretty funny how even in a life and death situation she makes sure to cover her breasts up as she shoots her assailant with a taser. You'd think they'd just have her hair cover it or something convenient. Just something I had a chuckle about while watching.

It was incredible how Chidori was able to outwit one of the lethal twins in this episode. I must give props to Kyo-Ani to make it look so believable. She is really growing as a character, I'm liking her this season a lot more than before.

Oh and Testarrosa makes his first appearance, I didn't like his character much, but I wonder what are his intentions and what kind of group or organization he works for or if he has any connection to the other ones.

And Wraith... I want to see who's behind that mask.

There's just no words to describe how insanely better Second Raid is to the first season.

Utterly amazing episode. I hate saying this, but all of this is probably better for Chidori in the long run. She discovered a strength and confidence she never knew she had, and, I think, if her and Sosuke ever decide to go steady, they'll be able to respect each-other more as equals from now on. I just can't see Chidori playing the kidnapped princess role any more after this. I think this experience will fundamentally change her character.

The music, direction, animation, action, revelations... everything about this episode were top-notch. This is probably the best episode so far, if I'm speaking objectively.

Tessa's brother is cute, but a bit of an ass. That kiss was pretty low, considering Chidori's situation. I like how she stood up for herself there.

Sosuke, you jackass! Get back there and help your woman!

5/5 without question.

That kiss was just...

So one half of the twins is dead. Who is disguised as the fat man? I suspect the other twin due to the eye color?

Agree with everything Leonard said about Chidori; it's extremely refreshing to see the girl with supernatural abilities isn't helpless as is often the case. I loved her character in both the first season and Fumoffu, and so far, I'm learning to like her even more this season.

Though...I'll have to admit, it's just a tad hard to believe that the assassin that was able to fight a Mithril SRT operative to basically a standstill was bested by a high school student with no combat experience whatsoever...

Still, great season so far, liking it even more than the first! Really happy to see the sense of humor that was established in Fumoffu has been carried over to this season. I was a little worried the transition back to a serious action/drama was going to be rough since I watched Fumoffu between the first season and this one.
