| Akira's wish had probably something to do about her looks, that would explain why she isn't pretty anymore. What is weird is that she seems to still have her memories. |
| I wish I could join in on that battle. And what happened to akira's face? Also why does she remember ruko and yuzuki? |
| WHOAH SO HYPED FOR NEXT EPISODE This is such a good series! The battle was great, paired up with great music. Akira... kowai. Iona, I want to like her, but I feel like she has a dark agenda at play... Please be the mentoring type and not the evil type ;-; |
tingy said: Still can't get over the annoying voices, so many. I found it interesting that Iona just let's her LRIG talk the whole time, though it's very like her since she seems to be the quite type. I wonder what she means by, "found you." Was she waiting for someone who enjoyed battling as much as she does, or someone who is as good as she is, someone who is exciting to battle against? I wonder what Ruuko's wish that she herself don't know is, and I wonder how the heck Iona and her LRIG knows. I wouldn't count on Iona and her LRIG knowing Ruuko's wish, even if they think they do. Although considering her thoughts before this battle, ending Selector battles once and for all seems to be a possible wish for her. Of course, finding a way to do this without beating every other Selector is another matter entirely... As for Iona's "found you", the first thought that went through my head was that she wanted someone to give her her third loss. We'll see, I guess... |

| Someone please go count how many BATORU were spoken. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| So Akira still remembering everything? Interesting ... I can understand the thinking of Ruuku not want to make anyone lose three times, but this indecision of her made me nervous, if she does not want to battle so burn the cards, throw away etc.. Just don't keep playing the victim. Sometimes i think Tama and Ruuko are two psychos :p |
 |
| I'm guessing Akira didn't lose. She intentionally interrupted the match, and her new found face is the severe penalty mentioned in episode 2. |
 |
| The conversation between Ruuko and Iona was very lewd. lol And I got happy that Akira didn't disappear. Her vulgar, disgusting behavior refreshes the gloomy atmosphere of this show. |
| Aaaah! An episode I ACTUALLY enjoyed. It was slightly better. "Ruko is madly in love with battles"... And soon with Iona eheh. /FLIES AWAY |

konatachan80 said: Iona was very much spot on when she said Ru didn't have a wish, and now she (and the lrig) claims that Iona and Ru has the same wish, to keep battling (forever?). Seeing Ru's reaction it seemed like she recognized the things Iona told her when she talked about herself. Her inner speech says she has to stop the battles, but she barely can contain herself when she has the chance for a battle. It probably wouldn't be far off to think that her inner speech is due to society rules or similar, and what she actually wants is something else. It hasn't been said, but it seems to be sort of implied that Iona is very strong and probably don't have any losses. Ru has no losses at all, and she seemed to be close to winning both of the matches that were interrupted (Yuzuki, Iona). It has also been said that a wish can't change the state of another's wish, whether that wish was fulfilled or reversed. I'm not sure if it's true, but there you go. You make very good points and it's impossible to really argue either way without knowing more. What we do know is that Ruuko did definitely not have a wish yet during her battle with Akira. Whether and how exactly her innermost thoughts have changed after that is something she doesn't even realize herself, seeing how she still claims that she does not have a wish. Yes, she enjoys the battles immensely once she's able to let go, but so do other Selectors without making this their wish. I can see Ruuko coming to terms with her desire to battle, though, this seems to be at least part of the story for the first season, along with her finding her wish. With the general darkness of this story, there seems to be something more behind all these games, and I get the feeling that finding out more about that is the other goal of this first part, with whatever Ruuko's actual wish will be becoming the key to solving this larger problem. |

YTk said: I'm starting to think that the lrigs are a reflection of the Selector's inner personality. It makes quite a bit of sense. I agree. In the OP, every pairs of the selectors and the lrigs are shown as the existence of the two sides of the same coin. They are separated into the reality and the inside of mirrors. But I wonder why only Yuzuki is shown in the mirror and not in the reality, when faces of Yuzuki and Hanayo are taken a close-up. |
| BEST EPISODE SO FAR |
| Meh, I don't like Akira very much :/ |

| "I found you." Find what?! The Ultimate player in SELECTOR?! Or what!? D: Dang it! I want to know so bad!! Well, another epic battle between Ruuko and Iona. Awesome! Tama kicked but! xD Urisu looked like she wasn't trying though.... Hmm..... That ending though, Akira's face! D: Can't wait for the next episode. :3 |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |

| I didin't like how episode 6 skimped on the actual BATTORU between Aki-lucky and Ruko, but that may have been for the better since this week's showdown was just mindless beam-spam. Kinda wish the show would try at least half as much on the card game aspect as they do on the psychological drama. |
 |
| Good episode! The battle between Tama and Uris was really intense. Its about time people realize why the show doesn't explain the card game. It's not about a card game, sure the game drives the plot forward, but its mostly how people deal with the effects of the game. Which I think this show does a good job of portraying. So Ruko has become addicted to battles, even though she knows she's causing people pain... Also, at the end...that was the creepiest Aki-lucky yet... But shouldn't she have lost her memories of the game? |

They kept repeating dialogues and changed Wixoss into sex With such thing pointed out, the scenario writer is really good at giving R18 doujinshi material :D |
| The atmosphere in this show is turning darker and darker with each episode. I want to see some blood or death ^_^ |

If without the animation, only the sentences of JP language could show: Iona: I want to have sex with you. Ruu: N-No... Iona: I know you want, too. Ruu: B-But... After the sex the battle Iona: Felt so good, did you? Ruu: ... |

| Man, those Ruuko x Iona Doujinshi NEED to happen. |

Wildflame said: Man, those Ruuko x Iona Doujinshi NEED to happen. More like some Aki x Aki. It'd be titled "Aki getting Aki-lucky!" or something of the sort. |

Now every time I hear them say battle, I'll be thinking of something else. Especially when Tama starts yelling battle! Battle! Omg lmao! Ru: Why am I enjoying battles sex so much? Even when I know horrible things will happen if I continue to battlehave sex...and still... Tama: Don't cry Ru. Tama likes to see Ru having fun having battle sex. So don't cry, we can have plenty of battlesex. I hate you. |

Tama likes to see Ru having fun having battle sex. So don't cry, we can have plenty of battlesex. I hate you. To tell the truth, the characters is using the words that hide sexual meanings in JP language from Ep 1. This is completely the intention of the script. And ... the title of the next episode, "Sono Chigiri wa Soragoto" is probably translated to "That promise is fake" or the like. But "Chigiri" (promise) also means sex itself. The title implies that the promise of marriage between Yuzuki and Kazuki would never turn into reality. And it also implies obviously that Yuzuki want to have sex with Kazuki but it would never carried out. WIXOSS is going on like that. |
| Now that was great! The battle was pretty fun and exciting. Wonder what Iona means by that she found "it"? Oh boi that "Aki-Lucky~" ending :S At first I thought Ruuko's wish would be to stop all WIXOSS battles but since Iona said her wish was the same as her's I am guessing that her wish is to keep battling?? Wildflame said: Man, those Ruuko x Iona Doujinshi NEED to happen. OH YES PLEASE! |
| Amazing episode. This anime caught me by surprise. Absolutely great so far. |
| Time is money, but money won't turn back the clock. |
| did ruuko win? or it got interrupted? |
 |
| Akira best girl. Yuzuki might be too if she throws away her doubts and moves foward. Then it just leaves Ruuko. How long do I have to wait before Ruuko gets wrecked for her sickening compassionate attitude? |
konatachan80 said: LiLSatan said: did ruuko win? or it got interrupted? Interrupted, and it was most likely what Iona intended. She knew she had a job to do, and she knew someone would come and get her when it was time. It's hard to predict the length of a battle, though, so I'm not sure she intended this. Especially since we know (or at least have been told) that intentionally interrupting a battle will be punished, although I wouldn't put it past Iona to figure out a way to do this anyway. She and her LRIG were clearly manipulating Ruuko and Tama first into accepting the battle and then into wanting to battle more. On the other hand, this is also why I really can't be sure Iona actually knows Ruuko's wish - it may be true, but it all may also just be part of her manipulation. |
| |
| I guess I just don't trust Iona that much, she certainly is hiding things as well. |
| |
| Epic battle between Iona and Ruko. |
| "Me ni wa me wo, ha ni wa ha wo, aku ni wa aku wo." |
| That ending confused the fuck out of me. As Akira really lost against Iona. If yes, why hasn't she forgotten about the selector situation like Yuzuki card said? Tama want more batoru! Tama love crushing little girl dream, as do Ruuko. I thought Iona would be a weird wannabe-vigilante, but she's more of a psycopath than an anti-hero... Anyway, I have the feeling that next episode is Yuzuki fall. |
