| Hmm, so I guess becoming bankrupt means you lose everything you got with your money too? Seeing as how his prof basically could only support his children from his deals ... that's ... interesting. Guess that's what they mean by your "future"? Looks like you can have more than one Asset as well, and buy into their "stocks" to get more money (for fighting?). Yea, I am a bit confused about the fighting as well Mikuni seems not really interesting in making just money and wants to keep the balance in the real world as well. Hmm, so this Guild thing of his ... o_O |
| teach.. lost everything.. |
 |
| its getting interesting. |
| I can't even imagine the psychological impact of losing all your children at once. :| |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I liked this episode. Good pacing with a bit of insight on everyone's goals and ambitions. Looking forward to the next! |
| His kids!!!! HIS KIDSSS!!!!! noooooo |
Iilia said: All of a sudden this show seems a bit darker. That guy's family just went and disappeared on him. I'm surprised he's not at least a little bit bitter at Yoga. Sure, it's not Yoga's fault, but considering all he just lost I wouldn't be surprised if he acted a bit irrationally. +1 The Mikuni battle was just great. I just wonder what will Yoga do from now on, considering he's in the Guild. This is where this show actually gets interesting ^__^. |
  |
| This show has some very disturbing messages. And I don't mean like the good kind of entertaining disturbing. I mean like reading a book on tips for how to get away with rape disturbing. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Wow, so that's what "your future" meant! Really sad that his children disappeared. They shouldn't have been punished for his mistakes. :/ Anyway, my guess is that Kimimaro's father lost his wife (she disappeared too, right?) but maybe she got sick and died, rather than was wiped off the face of the earth like the teacher's kids. I can see him killing himself over that. Still weird that Mikuni is being nice, since the OP clearly paints him as the antagonist. When are things going to change? Maybe Mikuni beat Kimimaro's dad and he ends up wanting revenge? Idk where this show is trying to go. |
| Ugh....I hate it when the characters have "DADDY ISSUES".... I'm beginning to think this is YGO with large sums of money at stake... |
| there's not enough mysu in this episode, we hardly know anything about her personality and stuff. also this show is really confusing |
     |
| Ahh my favorite part of any anime, when a self-defeating MC like Yoga finally gains the balls required to go forward, put on a brave face, and say "I'll fight". Also, The dude losing his kids = this shit just got heavy. Real, heavy. I wonder what Yoga would lose.. He doesn't seem to have much. His jobs maybe? That chick? She seems important to him. Or maybe the financial distract and his partner, which is pretty much all he's got going for him. Can't figure out why he still works those jobs.. Isn't he like a millionaire now? xD |
| I thought the Entre's future means the Entre's life, but it looks like it more to the Entre's hope in the future. For that professor, it was his children. I wonder what is Kimimaro's future... And Mikuni's battle kinda interesting. I wanna see more Q in later episodes.. I like where this is going~ |
 |
| Did that fight not remind anyone else of Haku vs. Sasuke/Naruto? LOL Anyways, great episode, it is starting to get really good! :D |
 |
| Great episode with awesome fights! Just love it! |
 |
| Awesome episode! That fight was awesome! Waited till the last minute so the effects wouldn't be too bad XD. |

| Huh? How does forcing a close win help stabalise the real world? Confusing episode overall. |
| I'm so confused right now. I still don't get how the fights go, I don't get how the teacher lost all his children and I don't get how close wins benefit the world. But I shall finish watching this show. |
| So losing doesn't always mean you have to suicide... that's a relief Teacher's talk and Mikuni's show are good, shows that there is a way to gain profit while causing minimal misfortune to others me gusta |
  |
| I feel sorry for the teacher.. That was such a great loss for him.. But I guess that's how the Finance District works.. So he's finally up for the challenge.. The question is, what will be his reason for fighting.. |
 |
| Didn't really get the stock mechanics during the fights. Must be some analogy to a finance, but I don't see it. Yoga gotta feel bad about that win :/ He basically "killed" 2 children (and a debatable third). That teacher was extremely considerate, considering what happened, unrealisticly so if I may say. Saying "If you had lost, something around you would have changed too. Would this be all right ?" and "I don't hate you" the day after he lost his children. I could understand coming to terms aftersome time, but a day... Probably needed a bit more drama that episode, some anger, tears or the like. And what's with Mikuni's power ? He seems to have multiple Assets, or at least to be able to summon them. Is that what happens when you buy all the stocks of another Asset ? Also didn't see the logic behind Yoga's resolution. Felt superficial. Okay episode, but the worst so far imo. |

| Hmm that poor teacher. Even if I liked the fight between him and Kimimaro, it's sad to see his are only like leftover memories. :( I can understand Kimimaro. On one sight you don't want to win, because it's hurts the other person and on the other sight you don't want to lose because your life will be ruined. Hopefully his teacher will not do suicide. Mikuni as always absolute great. The fight was perfect. To win with a 1% difference, you to be super strong. But it seems Kimimaro also want to to the same. Winning but not so that the other person goes bankrupt. |
 |
| So, this episode showed me that maybe the people weren't forced to take suicide or took their lives just because of bankruptcy. Maybe loss of future can involve loss of family, etc. I think that the guild works like a corporation with insurance. Let's see what decision Yoga takes. Still not in the clear about the mechanics of the game. I may have to check out the wiki page to know how that works. This has some terms in connection with the stock market, but it doesn't go on to explain anything about them. Like the stock market, when one person gains on one side, the other person loses on the deal. A ZER0 sum game, to say the least. Maybe this episode was a warning about the dangers of risk taking. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Good job Mikuni, Epic battle. |
| An alright episode. |
 |
| I wonder why not just tell Yoga about all details from the start (about stocks, etc) Is Yoga part of that "Guild"? I think it was suggested in ep. 3. Or was it just a rumor? I guess so. Did the scene with the pregnant wife of Yoga's teacher take place before or after the battle? The way Yoga reacted, I thought it was shortly after. I got a deja vu while watching Yoga's dialogue with the teacher's wife. Did their children just disappear or did they shift to another plain of existence or something? I wonder if Yoga's teacher chose to battle him or whether it was a coincidence So, can Yoga and anybody else just stop being a part of this game or not? Also, is there any deeper meaning to the images on plastic cards? Almost looks like something Tarot-styled. Is Q "paired" with that other demon? They actually did talk about that in a previous episode. His coworker said he had to work a late night shift at a convenience store because he had to care for his wife and kids. Kimimaro felt respect for the old guy because he was working for someone else, while Kimimaro was simply saving up money for himself. It's probable that his coworker went bankrupt in the Financial District and have his whole family disappear from him, or maybe one of his family members did. I didn't realize that. By the way, is the 666 thing during the battle a timer or something like that? Oh, and Q was talking about something happening to the Financial District. |
