THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The enemy group is talking about how unbelievable the stupid looking Kaito solved with the contract of the power. The trial to be God of Puzzle (GOP) has memory of Kaito being in the puzzle school in England and his parent's death.

And with the shock from the trauma, meeting cancelled and he cannot solve anymore? So he lost in emotion.

Stupid Kaito he lose from the trauma of her parents dead, how are he going to solved next puzzle?
Becuase he said he don't want to do solved any puzzle, that power he had contract with make him so he never can solved a puzzle.
I think he will able to solved again and his power will be better.

Of course that guy know Kaito and what kind of puzzle he like.
Also what happend with his parents.
But Kaito still know that his friend from England is one of PoG. :D

Ahh so all his flashbacks are from when he was in England. Kaito's going to be back in the next episode. It showed in the preview.

Nope, Chuck Testa Okama.

I see. I suppose this fits the Shounen mold pretty nicely, but it's rather boring.

Once again Nonoha and Gammon do more than Kaito in solving the puzzle (but Kaito showed world-class sulking skills). Poor Gammon, he even ate Nonoha's cookies and she still ignored him.

Why is the government okay with the POG creating puzzles that can potentially kill people?
How is the POG getting the money and resources to build such large puzzles?
What is the reward in solving a God Puzzle?
Do you just hold the title of being the best puzzle solver ever?
There doesn't seem to be much incentive to solve a God Puzzle, especially considering you have a high chance of dying.

Oh Yeah
So now Gammon's tsundere and Kaito turned emo.

And what a comical way to give person a good shock, no, this isn't a sarcasm. I like how Kaito flipped himself in the air !!

But wait, Gammon didn't say a thing about Ikari Shinji, but [WhyNot] subbed it that way. I've never realized that 'Ikari Shinji' can be a noun commonly used. XD haha

At first, I was really disappointed by the show, but when I've come to accept that the show itself is very childish and lacks some common sense, I think this anime is OK and fun to watch.

Best episode of the series so far, including a great flashback and good developments (finally).

Could be a subbing error. Either that or Ana, despite being a dude, refers to himself in a feminine way.

I so wanted Kaito to meet that guy playing chess.

Also - seconding Jacut's comment - definitely the best episode so far.

Really awesome episode!
I seriously cried when Kaito screamed when his parents fell down (I hope I can say this... since it's a discussion forum ABOUT the episode, so people must've seen it already)

And Gammon is hilariously embarrassed with Nonoha around X3

Nonoha's Sweets. Unexpected scene because of typical other animes stereotype where
girls having very bad cooking skills makes everybody sick.

I was expecting Cubic and others to have same reaction as Kaito. Instead he said "Not bad."


I was sad that Cubic ain't going after Kaito. =[ but yeah he had other stalking intentions
hidden. ;D



And finally shota Kaito.

Yeah, quite same here. So I guess Kaito must have super sensitive tasting buds or maybe he's just prejudiced against Nonoha's cooking.

Ohoh, Kaito in his puzzle-midlife crisis. :o

Surprisingly, I liked this episode. Was even the best so far.
The drama part was way off again, but that's a given.

Gamon was cool, the Nonoha Sweets stuff was kinda funny and Mamoru Miyano as Bishop did the job, as always.

I'm..starting to not like Nonoha a lot..I mean, think about it. She's literally useless. She goes around with them and stuff, and is just always a bunch of dead weight and causes them nothing but trouble, minus the time that park was gonna get blown up..that barely counts for anything.

The episode itself was badass though. Having Kaito go through that trauma..wow.

Kaito hates onions, Nonoha's sweets and murderous puzzles. I love how he goes like "all puzzles just have to die" in this episode and before he was like "those puzzles want to be solved so badly". Kaito is so ridiculous I love him. If I was around him I'd punch him in the face.

This show is so amazing! Seriously, where else is there a secret organization funded by the government with a large base that is solely dedicated to making puzzles? Where else does one lose one's parents to puzzles? Where else do you hear a speech about how the you can hear the puzzles are crying out, waiting to be solved? Only this show!

Yeah, I was watching this and thinking, "just how many time are you gonna almost fall to your death?" I mean, you would think that after the first, she'd either step back and hang with... Kaito, is it? The armband guy.... or actually look at where she is standing and not put herself in danger....

It is like the anime itself was laughing at her ineptness.

And the thing is, she was totally useful at the start due to her photographic memory.

Nice backstory filler and suspenseful end, love the episode overall.

the story does seem to be getting somewhere just very slowly, again nice puzzles not just same old same old..... and they seem to be showing more on how to solve them and going through it in more detail

Kaito its going a bit too emo now, he is constantly sulking, and he did nothing throughout this episode, but I did feel for him through the flashbacks so I guess we do have to cut him some slack!

when galileo got all flustered after nonoha nearly fell with that dramatic music still playing in the background LOL. he's so... man, how can you not ship nonoha with him? he's the exact opposite and the fact that he already has a crush on her, a plain woman is hilarious. kaito was cuter as a kid. uh... i didn't hear anything about shinji ikari in this episode and yet the subs said otherwise, pretty funny joke i guess.
they took puzzles damn seriously in this episode! i don't think i'll ever get to the point where i'm so engrossed that i'll realize the true gravity of puzzles in this anime... like, "we record past puzzles. we make puzzles everyday." fucking government funded "pUzZlE oF gOd" dudes came in a helicopter and took them to this huge building, i have no idea where they get so much money to make puzzles from... AND WHAT IS THE value of puzzles? if they make these puzzles to give to solvers, what do they gain? can the gain be measured in a monetary or tangible unit? i mean obviously it's strange that i'm even asking, since it's a work of fiction but i really wish they explained some more to make it believable. also. his parents died by a puzzle, this is a little...
