Poor Huang, just when i started to like you, but it was to be expected i guess. Anyways, I really liked this episode. Things are moving along at a good pace, and it was full of Yin <3 But man, Amber is already down to bite size. Only 1 episode left, looking forward to the finale.

How can there only be one episode left? WTF, and I can't believe Kirihara still hasn't found out that BK-201 is Li @_@.
All the mods fucking blow on this website except Kaiserpingvin, Cloudy-Sky, Baman and aero. PM me if you're actually good and I left you out.

Do they even explain why Amber seems to get younger and younger? When they showed Hei, Pei, and Amber at Heavens Gate Amber looked alot older and now she is young as hell.

And since Hei has his sisters name (BK-201) I'm thinking that means that Hei is continuing his sisters contract somehow. I cant wait to find out what happens.

Tohdman -> Wikipedia suggests that getting younger may be Amber's contract :-)

and about the ep - so beautiful! I watched every scene several times and still can't stop ^ ^ however, instead of solving all the mysteries, they made the plot even more complicated... now, there is only one episode to answer the questions ]:->

Amber seems to get younger and younger after using her power. *hint* *hint*. I wonder what her contract must be. *elbow nudge*

Ya, like MajorAdd said, her contract is she gets younger, the reason why the egg contractor didn't die the first time was because of Amber using her time warp powers,that's why he said 'amber...', and amber is all young at the end of the ep. I'm guessing the next and final ep is either going to be a cliffhanger into a possible next season or an hour long special or something similar, there really is no questions left in my mind, everything has been explained

Sad that Huang died, but it's good that he finally warmed to Hei and Yin and made sure they escaped^^

Hm, I think I'll also be left with some questions. But as Faust said, the pace is good and I'm looking forward to the final episode. Yin was great and so was Hei's fight.

He said once that he can live in this body only thanks to the Syndicate. And that they can easily disconnect him if they want... and I think they just did it...:(

I don't get how though. Did they know where his original body was? I didn't understand the goo coming out of that truck.

They killed the dolls that were guiding Hei and Yin. The goo is merely the liquid that was inside the pods the dolls were in.

As for Mao, his body was lost. He mentions it, or rather implies it, during the episode where they collect the samples from the Body Jumper (the one who had to smell the sock). He also mentions, during that same episode, that the Syndicate sends him a constant information feed to keep his human mind active and dominant over the host's mind (in this case the cat's). That's why Mao was always the most afraid of the Syndicate, because anything he did against them would mean they'd cut the line and his mind would be forever lost (which is what happened once PANDORA found him snooping around their database).

I predicted that the syndicate and PANDORA was the same. See my episode 23 post. Mao is up to something. I think that he is also working for PANDORA.

Sad to see all these people dying... Huang, Mao, even Wei. And even the fire girl that randomly came back. (I liked her...)
Certainly an exciting episode. Hopefully next episode gives us all the answers we're looking for?
