Quite an interesting episode. We get to see some of Huang's past which wasn't bad. But man, it must suck to spend 3 years infiltrating and then screw up because of an observation ghost. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here, looking forward to it.

Yeah, I was definitely thinking the same thing. Huang's past was quite interesting. With all the mistakes Hei has done in past missions, it seems as Huang finally let something slip because of personal reasons. And wasn't he the one always telling Hei don't screw it up because of personal stuff? Heh.

Yeah, things are starting to get really interesting again. I wonder what exactly evening primrose and Amber have to do with this whole situation.

now we know the reason Huang hates contractors so much and i guess he joined the organization perhaps for revenge?

i think he just wanted to keep his memories and somehow to stay in touch with shidoh or what was her name.

Huang is a messy fellow.

Amber seems to hold more authority than I had thought -- the mention of her name from someone like the prohet is quite interesting.

Why did Hei let the prophet live? Maybe he needed to dodge the blast from blind-red-spikey, but it almost looks like he hesitated. Just thinking outloud...

Good character development in Darker than Black, even for Huang (I was surprised when he showed how impatient he was by making Yin use her observation ghost). Good insight into his history. I wonder if they'll have an eps on Mao lol!

Okay that one was long and quite boring.
Why was it necessary to fill the plot with that filler.
He serves such a minor role anyway, I find it hard to care.
I would rather see the movement of the enemy then the
movement of those who can not do anything to advance the plot.

Great episode, it's very interesting to get to know more about Huang since he has always been a mysterious character, until now.

Interesting episode, but I don't see why Huang is so worried about the 'mole'??? Ah I see it's his love, of course, how obvious :P
Also the kiss scene from his past was...er..awkward...

nice episode I always hated Huang so its cool to see his past. but all that I saw is that he just became a racist he thinks all contractors are the same but still good episode only stupid mistake he made at the end can't wait for next one.

Did/does Huang speak in some sort of dialect? Because his Japanese is making me dizzy...anyways, good to know how he came to hate contractors. I wonder why Shioko killed his friend? And wow, nice job Huang...just like Hei said, thanks to your interference she was captured and they failed their mission =_= after 3 years of hard work too.

Nice info on Huang's background.

I wonder what's going to happen to that woman.

Huang and Hei are similar in their hate for contractors, the difference is that Hei is a contractor himself...

The mole's power was the same as his love's (can't remember her name) - she seems to make things age quickly, or "deteriorate", as far as I've seen.
Obviously he sent the apparition to observe her, and consequently got her caught.

Huang's fault for this entire messup.

nice backstory.
but like srs. if you've been undercover for three years as a contractor you should know that you could give yourself away by directly looking at an apparition thingy. not sure aobu tht one ay

From what I see I think she makes the organs rupture from the inside.

I don't want to sound like a know it all, but I thought there was plenty of plot going on here. Hei recognized the big ginger dude from Amber's organization, which means she has something to do with it.
Huang's story is just an added bit of background.

Shihoko's voice is so fucking jarring!

A three year effort, down the drain just like that...
I've always wanted to know what made Huang so jaded and it's great to see we're finally getting that.
