Wooow! Sousuke has gone emo?! Haha! LOL!

The short haired sister was the younger looking girl? The younger one's name was Yu Lan Xiu (ordering might be wrong, middle name, first name, surname, who knows which is which >.<) and the older sister is Yu Fan Xiu I think.

I hate love triangles. Hate them, hate them, hate them. It always end up sad(der) for someone and its in every possible anime... yet I still watch :)
Tessa/Chidori and Sousuke... both girls have their pluses.

Haha, the van that Sousuke drives has the license plate 1337...

Oh, Sousuke just now FINALLY GETS IT?! A bit late for that, don't you think? 10 episodes into the 3rd season, 2nd if you don't count Fumoffu. Well, at least he got it at some point, which is better than not understanding at all.

Haha I also noticed that license plate. But it also said "FR" possibly standing for France. France 1337? Hmm there must be some innuendo in this.

Emo Sousuke is a pansy. He needs to just start shooting stuff and get back with Kaname already. It's all he's really good at anyway!

Gah, I hate Kaname. She gives me a headache every episode she is in due to her constant yelling and screaming. He needs to just stop thinking about her and start working things out with Al.

The license plate was hilarious when I noticed it, I wonder if it was intentional. Also, poor Sousuke has his head in the clouds.

I don't know if I'd classify Sousuke as being "emo" in this episode. He seems to be trying to act mature; rather than sulking around and yelling at parent figures he's actually trying to do his mission. His head's in the clouds, but at least he's trying.

Poor Sosuke. Everyone needs some reason to get up in the morning. That used to be the mission, but it had obviously become Chidori.

Not much to this episode, but I appreciate the emotional realism with Sosuke. 3/5.

Sousuke was annoying in this ep. Fucking snap out of it man. Shouldn't be doing this kind of mission with that state of mind.
Don't really care about this 'love triangle'. I dislike Kaname alot and Tessa... well she got a bit better this season, proved her worth in regards to her rank but... meh. Should just focus on building his relationship with Al instead.

This goes to show that he really needs Chidori.
I remember him saying that with her by his side, he can do anything! #dokidoki
Everyone needs to understand that he has fallen for her. So to just leave her suddenly due to his 'duty' and also to 'trust' her safety to a stranger, ofcourse it will be hard. Plus everything is kind of piling up, especially the whole you-should-know-your-priorities lecture he is getting from everyone -and Al- thats basically gg.

For the sake of future generations:

1337 = leet = elite
Someone who is really skilled|good|experienced at something. Opposite of:

n00b = noob = newbie
Someone who lacks skill|talent|experience with something.

The practice of replacing letters with other symbols came about in the early days of the internet. I remember that it was particularly popular with the kids who played Counter Strike back round the turn of the millenium. It's called leetspeak, leet for short (or 13375p34k, 637 17 m8?).

Exactly! He's 17! I mean I love no nonsense Sousuke too, but he's not good at things like emotional connections and feelings. He's stressed, unhappy and isolated. People calling him 'emo' are so one dimensional.

Yes, this is the biggest problem I have with Tessa and her fanboys, she isn't this sweet, innocent kind girl. She's pretty damn malicious and manipulative. Her selfishness is causing pain for everyone, maybe she couldn't control Sousuke being relocated, but she didn't fight it either. What prior claim did she have again..? Oh, wait, she never had one. Her jealousy is horrible and makes me seriously dislike her character. >->

I think that whilst Tessa is certainly trying to manipulate things a bit to her own favor, she never is shown to completely abuse her authority in this respect. If anything, her upbringing of being a genius living in her brothers shadow and how it was mentioned how she couldn't really fit in at school in okinawa so she was moved to the military one shows that she too struggles to figure out how to approach the situation, she's just trying to be more direct about it, more open and honest about her desires because she herself obvioulsy struggles with the whole friendship thing, although she's shown in a lot of cases to be smart enough to emulate the "perfect cute girl" behaviour as shown in S2, I can't help but feel sad for her, and root for her.

Sousuke's got a lot of issues and he's to blame for them. However, his entire squad also shares the blame. There's 4+ of them and no one said anything about Sousuke's abnormal mental status? If you're a good leader or teammate, you make sure everyone has their heads in top condition (especially in such a dangerous line of work). If not, you bring it up and discuss how to mitigate that risk. In the current setup, they're banking that Sousuke's mental state is workable or he'll straighten out in the middle of this dangerous mission... which is a very risky and ill-advised preposition.

Andrey is sort of Sousuke's father figure. I wish he had an one-on-one talk with Sousuke.

Couldn't agree more, especially since it's supposed to be an elite unit, comprised of experienced professionals. I guess that's what you get if you don't set a minimum age.

It's 10th episode already, yet I'm still amazed with how much better this season is.
