THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The fate of the Kirihara and the Kuroki Brothers hangs in the balance, knowing that both Naoto and Naoya are involved, but still not entirely an open-and-shut case since the SWE could be considered as another culprit.

How this Yui Akiyawa is involved with the SWE is through the same bar incident, and she can see the future, even if by only glimpses of it. She is a key that the Kirihara Brothers are looking for that could aid in their plan, and a detriment to the SWE.

The Kuroki Brothers' parents working for the government, and secretly bought by anti-terrorist movements that succumb to their death as vanishing traitors. Just can't understand why Yuya's so adamant on wanting to know more infirmation as its information overload, but it's all for their goal.

It's inevitable that the connected Brothers will constantly intertwine their paths over and over again to find out the real truth. Yuya's the first to find out this Akiko Okuhara that the SWE dubbed "the Prophet", and someone that could sense all 4 brothers to bring them the unnverving news that the Earth will decimate from a paradox of converging psychics.

The difference between choosing a side, and the Kuroki Brothers have been given the task to eliminate the Kirihara Brothers.

I usually love one-dimensional character like Michio but in this episode he's almost like a zero-dimentional character.

Doesn't feel like a season will be enough for this series. Maybe 20~26 episodes.

The logic here just doesn't make sense to me. The woman's speech about the need for discrimination was not the tiniest bit convincing, and it's a concept that can be made very uncomfortably convincing if people tried.

Takuya decides he needs to talk to Naoto. And, when he sees him, does he try to talk? Nope! He attacks him! Do the creators of this anime believe people can't watch a simple conversation?

The morals here just don't work. So, the other set of brothers just seem clearly wrong and ignorant, and I don't care about them. In Code Geass, I cared about both Britannians and Japanese people even though neither was quite right. I hated Suzaku, but I could understand him and his logic, and even agree with him at times. Here, I don't understand the villains at all. There is no way they can convince themselves they are making the world better!

How is this even getting so bad!! I feel like I am only here because I don't have a lot of anime to watch this season.

I agree with the above poster about "let's have a conversation....oh wait....I need to beat on you while we talk." Pretty stupid but we watch what we are dealt. Other than that bit, I actually enjoyed this episode a lot. Finally we have some nice plot movement other than the usual Team A tries to eliminate Team B while Slut Puppy just lounges around. Nice graphics this week also....the world coming apart was spectacular!

I am currently watching Vanitas and Sonny Boy. The latter is so fun! Probably my favourite so far, this season.

I dropped Kaizoku Oujo, though. It's not the anime's fault. It was just not for me. It was originally the kind of anime I didn't care about, but I'd only tried it because of Kajiura Yuki and Production IG, since they are both my favourites.

Honestly, this anime I have a love-hate relationship with. The messages are profound... but the animation is so bad.

Anyway, this episode was PERFECT in message!!! Everyone is so focused on "equality" but not on the bigger picture (forgive a late-night vent...... job-searching is hard...)

True... hopefully there are better ones next season. Honestly, I am still waiting for something as good as Tokyo Ghoul (original... not the re-makes, which killed it!!)! I think that I'll be waiting forever though www

Pretty sure the "prophet" is just afraid of death which is why she is so attached to the material world and despises the spiritual world. The visions of the world destruction might just be her interpretation of people moving on to the spiritual world.

Why do they have to destroy each other, can't they just coexist?

Akiko Okuhara is obviously the big evil here for having created this anti-psychic society (kinda ironic considering she's one of the most powerful psychics), if only the Kuroko brothers would know. Still curious to see what the deal is between Kirihara brothers and Kuroko parents.

Ah, I see. Now I'm even more confused. This is some Matrix Sequels level of complicated, but at the same time, I feel that this anime is dumping a lot more info way too fast. The previous anime was doing too little for it's 24 episode run. This one is doing a lot more with other dimensions and time travel, making it complicated.

But whatever, I'm still waiting it out to see if it will somehow make more sense.
