This episode would have been better if Samon didn't keep hitting his damn sword on the ground. SO ANNOYING.

Haha everytime he did that, I laughed.

I don't know about this whole time paradox thing. I'm still suspicious of Samon. Something is telling me that there is more to Hakaze's situation still.
Guess I'll continue on with the next few episodes and find out.

Oh c'mon. Time travel shenanigans? Hope they don't fuck this up spectacularly.

Although this really makes me interested in how Aika fit into the Kusaribe Clan's plans. I always thought Hakaze and Aika had some connection with each other.

Looks like next episode is going to be even more intense.

What was up with Samon pounding his sword against the ground over and over? I wonder if there is a purpose behind that or if he was just trying to look cool.

Anyway, this episode was relatively slow (they did just stand there and talk for most of the time) but it was still an enjoyable one with a interesting twist.

That was a nice twist. So she was dead all along. I wonder what's going to happen next. I'm sure the past Hakaze will somehow come to the future.

Nice plot twist,a time paradox.Still on Hakaze's side but kind of worried what will happen if the Tree of Genesis is revived now.Look like next episode Yoshino is going to tell Mahiro about him dating Aika.

Even if its true, Hakaze can still be saved, she just needs to be able to find out what killed her within the two years and the future can be changed.

If she survives on the island for two years, the future will be changed and she will be alive again. She just needs to find out how and why she died. Could it have been because she gave up? If she doesn't give up and lives for two years, she will be alive again in the future.

Kind of doesn't make sense . . . But meh. Anyway if it is true, that really sucks for her, knowing that she will die on that island. However why the hell would they have her actually die, now if Mahiro goes "fuck it, I give 0 shits about this world anyway" They will die. Their will be absolutely no change for survival. . . Kind of hope he does just blow it to hell for funsies.

This anime really didn't strike me as a time travel paradox type, but it managed to use creatively and well. I did not see that coming. Hazake is dead, in real time, but still able to communicate through magical time travel. Impressive plan, Samon. Let's see where you go from here.

Lol, this.

Dat plot twist... traveling through time. Hakaze got trolled hard by Samon. Then Mahiro and Yoshino, with confused looks on their faces, was like... "What's going on here?"

Too bad Mahiro didn't pull the trigger. What would happen if he did that?

Great episode, by the way. I read some spoilers, and I found out that...

Hoho! That's what I call a twist, pretty interesting to add time travel to this story, while 2 years is not long it's still very interesting how everything is happening 2 years from her current being... and well that said the order to kill Aika was not under her command back then, now a bigger question raises why they killed her in the first place? Well let's see what's next!

Hey hey what the actual fuck? don't put some steins ; gate shit here man... why do you always kill the fucking heroines goddamit!. Anyway that Samon dude was stomping hes freaking sword on the ground everytime he finishes a sentence... aside from being annoying I think that he's actually casting a magic spell of some sort to blow our minds with this fucked up logic

Saw the time travel thing from a mile away.

The whole "the world is wrong" thing is really vague. Wtf does that even mean? What "corrections" are there to make? And none of the characters question it either. They all seem to know what that means, even though they just leaned about the existence of magic like a few days ago. To me it just seems like a lazy plot device so that we can have an "end of the world" situation.

I can't bring myself to care about something that wasn't even explained to me. Whenever they mention that the world is "wrong", I just roll my eyes.

Anyone else find it really annoying when Samon kept slamming his scabbard on the ground?


I think he did it after he brought up a point lol.
u think its done on purpose by director?

I think it's possible...something like dancing to his rhythm of his drums, in this case his scabbard? May be far-fetched but i think it's possibility because Hakaze being dead doesn't really make sense to me right now. So yeah, i'm thinking Samon is playing them.

We get to see a peek of Mahiro and Yoshino's interests collide this episode. Next episode is gonna be nuts.

So if I understood correctly [/spoiler] she knew (probably) that she was dying or was going to due so she inserted a lot of magic into the voodoo doll so when someone finds it, they could talk to her but from the past, when she was alive. That is what I understood.
There's no magical spell to save someone's life.

My prediction is that somehow 2 boys will travel back 2 years ago and save Aika before she is killed.
This episode alone made lot of possibility.

The thing I hated is the unnecessary talk to cover 24 mins of episode so that 2-years-ago-plot will end as a cliffhanger.

This... this is actually getting really interesting. I actually thought it was pretty meh, but if they play their cards right, this could end up being great. What can I say, I'm a sucker for time travel plots, especially when they're unexpected like this. Still hating on Mahiro, though, 'muh revenge' characters are so boring. Besides, I find the fact he's so fixated on Aika a bit pathetic. Yoshino is handling it way better and he's the one who was dating her.

While both sides - samon as well as hakaze claim to be in the right, mahiro just doesn't care and acts on his own will. Talk about individual behavior in an anime.

The reveal concerning hakaze being dead already is an amazing plot twist.

Such twist. Much wow.

But wait, how does that even work ? ... Magic.
Obviously when you leave such an abstract concept of magic, you can justify every plothole and make every absurd twist you want. Well done author.

Since episode 6 there was something weird about it, I mean how she be dead and still there, it was either some time travel or ghost plot going on, or Samon was really lying... Damm I dont want her to die! She is a funny one.
Not a boring moment with this series so far!!

I knew it. It was some time travel stuff.

In eveyone's world, Hakaze is dead. But in the world from two years ago, she is alive. Basically, she speaking with people from the future. So, the clan send her to die in an island. Interesting.

Also, a lot of information about the Tree of Exodus and Tree of Genesis. Every option means the end of the world. How do they get out of this?

After this episode, I don't think that Samon is a bad guy.

Who is right? Samon or Hakaze? I think that Samon but Mahiro didn't care.

Time traveling? Sure, why not? Would also explain some things, yet it makes me a bit wary that the plot could go downhill from here on.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
