I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Damn, this is the angriest I've ever seen coming from Vanitas. Noe himself also showed a lot of emotions this episode. It's also too bad that Domi got involved in this. Imo, this was a very dramatic episode and serves its purpose as the one before the series' finale. I've also never seen Domi so scared before. |

| Yuki Kajiura doing what she does best with that music, godly |
 |
| Vanitas IS PISSED that Mikhail forgot what happened in the past, yet he is able to re-account all those moments vividly. Will it be Vanitas's surrender to Mikhail, or Domi's suicide orchestrated by him, this is where both of their interests collide. But to edge the knife deeper, Mikhail reveals Louis's real roots, which Vanitas wants nothing out of it, that consequently sent Noé on a rampage against his friend. And things just don't get any better, forcing one above the other, and Vanitas is on yet another rampage to kill those whom tries to get hold of his memories. The only way to stop this infighting is if Domi sacrificed her life, and in the nick of time, Jeanne interfered, but that wasn't enough to save both Vanitas and Noé, still stuck in their rut. Vanitas will go to extreme lengths to secure his hidden past, and Noé is ready to sacrifice his life for the greater good. Yuki Kaijura's music composition this episode, is pure entertaining terror. But otherwise, what an episode, and the finale can't wait another week more enough. |
 |
| Now we need to know why "Luna" asked vanitas to keep everything a secret & why is that so important to vanitas himself. |
 |
| Holy shit what a tense and incredible episode! Vanitas vs Noe is sure something impressive to witness along with the other drama elements, good thing that Jeanne could save Domi from killing himself, but damn Mikhail's presence added to this whole mess is making it even better |
 |
| Damn that was a really epic battle, the cinematography was incredible. Only 1 more episode to go and I will miss this anime, probably will check the manga later on. |
 |
| Am I the only one who finds this little battle kinda forced? Like I don't actually believe that Noe and Vanitas are at odds. I think they both realize that they aren't at odds, they just want to see how far the other will go. Fighting each other seems like an easy way to show conflict, but its weak! And why is Jeanne there? I want to focus on cute loli boy, not Vanitas fighting someone he has said multiple times that he doesn't care about and a vampire that has a thing for him whether he knows it or not. I want a better conflict :( |
| Noe's words managed to undo Vanitas's self hypnotism right at the climax moment lol, thanks Jun. phantomfandom said: It's very cringey, can't believe investor pour a lot of money for this cringey story. Yes, I know vampire genre is already cringey but Vanitas is beyond what I can accept. It's like they made for teenagers. You expected something else? Jun's works are made almost solely for young fujoshi who like shipping characters, shounen ai stuff, shota BS, etc. If you can look past that, it's a decent anime at times. If you're into that sorta stuff, this would be one of the greatest anime for you, personally, it's a 7/10. |
DarcyD said: Well you either missed alot of stuff or you still didnt understood their psyche..Al those backstories were shown in order to make this conflict. For starters(I will try to keep it as brief as possible)Am I the only one who finds this little battle kinda forced? Like I don't actually believe that Noe and Vanitas are at odds. I think they both realize that they aren't at odds, they just want to see how far the other will go. Fighting each other seems like an easy way to show conflict, but its weak! And why is Jeanne there? I want to focus on cute loli boy, not Vanitas fighting someone he has said multiple times that he doesn't care about and a vampire that has a thing for him whether he knows it or not. I want a better conflict :( Vanitas is holding on to the words of someone he loved the most And it is shown countless times that whenever his past came up, his psyche took a 180 shift. The reason why he said that to Noe was because he was aware of the hypnosis done and well he didnt wanted to hurt him in the end.(but since he was in a vulnerable state he said that) Also He was afriad of Noe...He didnt thought Noe would actually attempt to drink his blood and seeing Noe s experssion, he was broke. Noe realized that when he saw himself in the mirror ofcourse For Noe, Protecting domi is like his no 1 priority? As for why Vanitas hates Domi, he sees himself in her and thats the version he hates. About jeanne it was already shown in episode 8 that Luca sent her there So in other words there is a alot more going on then just the fighting and the anime from the start was building the reasons for why vanitas and Noe might actually fight each other in the end. Now combine all that up and you get this end result its not like "I have a tragic backstory and thats not going to change anything" or "I am still such a optimistic great person even though i have a traumatic childhood experience" All their past experiences have "consequences" |

| Can't wait till next Friday such a beautiful anime so far. |
| HOOOOOLY SHIT. what an episode. that was so intense and they did everything so well. i haven't read the manga yet but surely they did better here in the anime than the manga for this part right? jeanne suddenly coming in made me laugh for some reason (Sorry 💀) but all those were pretty sick. cant wait with how they'll wrap this up next week |
| I neever thought Vanitas and Noe would ever fight each other. Wow |

| Yes, I think they more or less did justice to this part in terms of cinematography and direction. But what really carried it was the godly music. Can't wait for the official OST release! DEFINITELY buying the disc. |

(Recalls Jun's other manga and the first episode) Be careful what you wish for. Also as that other person said, their conflict is extremely meaningful. It seems as if they will settle their differences if they end this conflict - then why the story hasn't ended? |

| The conflict between them has been building up for quite some time and with Mikhail, it has finally released itself. There was more drama than action imo tho if it leads to an awesome finale, I won't complain. |
 |
| Holy fuck, that was excellent adapted, because I was in fucking pain. |
 |
| Decent episode, was quite intense between quack and chum. |
| Holy shit the episode flew by in an instant! I've said this many times, but this season is just superb! |
-Gl1tchy- said: So can anyone answer this question I've never read the manga if there is one... but I'm wondering if there will be a season 3. So is there enough material to make it and is the manga finished? No, they have nearly caught up with the manga; season 2 won't be coming at least for 2 years... |

I want a better conflict :( it kind of does feel forced but didn't mikhail say that vanitas used some kind of self-brainwashing that kicks in when someone tries to take his memories so he's acting automatically based on that. |

Alice0006 said: They don't have to be mutually exclusive lol, Jun may write about her interests, but they also obviously mirror the target audience as well. She writes one story only and it sells, so kudos to her of course. I mean, you've been hooked, lined and sinkered from what I can tell by your favs, there's no use arguing to me about this, when you're exactly what I'm talking about. Yes, you may not like or do everything that Jun cleverly displays in her works, like the shipping part, but Jun definitely has you caught in her web lolGakutoDeathGlare said: Noe's words managed to undo Vanitas's self hypnotism right at the climax moment lol, thanks Jun.

If you're into that sorta stuff, this would be one of the greatest anime for you, personally, it's a 7/10. I think I ever said this to you before, read it PROPERLY this time. Jun actually doesn't make manga for specific reader, she makes manga that she likes. So you said she made this "almost solely for young fujoshi" is totally WRONG. If you don't believe me, you can see this translated interview. https://www.google.com/amp/s/aminoapps.com/c/pandora-hearts/amp/blog/jun-mochizukis-interview-at-japan-expo/XQax_Nqhgu83DYwP38XZ4ogaMEZxm2MqL You watch a lot of anime so maybe you know shipping is something that often happen in other anime too. Some people just like to ship, there are two male characters close with each other, they ship it, doesn't mean it's the author purpose . If you think this has shounen ai undertone, that's your problem. If you think shota is BS, that's your problem. Not everyone think same as you. Jun only makes 2 male lead close with each other, that's up to people how they perceive them. I never perceive them as attracted to each other romantically, irl there are straight men who have this type of relationship too, no reason for me to think they love each other romantically. I never ship anyone too. Jeanne and Vanitas love each other romantically is actually more obvious too. |
| Epic anime. Can’t wait till next episode |
| Wow, that was a really good fight, probably the best one on the show so far and the music in the background was on point. Now let's see how it develops towards the season finale next week. |

-Gl1tchy- said: Laplace_kun said: No, they have nearly caught up with the manga; season 2 won't be coming at least for 2 years... OK so there will be a season 2 but we'll have to wait 2years?! That's something I don't rlly get the second part came out not even a year's after the first season so why 2 years? They simply caught up with the source material and have no more stuff to adapt, if it's clear to you now. Different cour and different seasons are different things altogether. |
