Can't believe how fast this episode came out but even if it was not leaked I got to see it earlier. Oh man I was really happy to see Ruri's family and Aoi in the following,

and the fight between them was a little sad. However I realized something that made me RAGE! Over 9000! There is certainly no words for the following spoiler
except one clear thing: I WANT KENMI DEAD! Want him in fucking piece!
I want him dead! The guy's experiment killed off not only a kind father but a wonderful and beautiful woman! Ruri/Aoi's mother was very kind and nice. I totally missed that but it really did rage me a lot. I though she was really just tossed on the side but the shit pierced her. TT_TT no crying can be explained other than being sorrowful and raging. Screaming out a wish for Kenbi to be dead. No wonderful mothers deserve this.


All of that got done by the following fucker,

this guy in that pic has a similar symbol among the ones Arma uses.

In thee end I did TT_TT as well for what happened to her father in the spoiler
being burned is not exactly something that I expected as the cause of death from Ruri's father but it does prove her hatred against thee dark stones. You hate what destroys the most precious to you. Yes it's not the way but that's how our kind is sometimes. This is what good directing is, to properly blend in drama to move you. To emotionally make RAGE! To hate who is to be hated with no regret!

I really feel bad for Ruri now and that her sister is in a crystal to save herself. However I was happy to learn that Arma’s powers got rid of the crystal in the spoiler
problem is that she is still in a stasis form. It’s like she is there breathing but still stuck in a coma.
To reverse the process might not be easy but Fai might hold some key perhaps. This was quite the sad and depressive episode of Ruri's past and I an moved emotionally. No words can describe the depth of my RAGE nor tears of my emotions towards Ruri’s mother.What about any of you? More later.

About the preview, looks like some kind of news shit happening of whom Kenbi is sure to be behind knowing him. While
Arma gets all mad at Kagami. What is really pissing me off is in the spoiler
oh WTF Kenbi? You kidnap Ruri and will do shit to her? Fuck you and die! Please for Ruri’s mother’s sake! Seeing Fai here so I hope Kijima joins with Arma and kill Kenbi. Thanks!

BTW Image stitches are done in the spoiler
Aoi among them is nice but Ruri looking sad is depressive to look at.

Because of a certain TV channel airing both ep.9 and 10 (Fridays one), ep.10 aired faster beginning this week (w. Kagami Announcing). (MBS -> MX being the earliest)

Anyways... There's something happening to Ruri's sister (from the effect from last ep.), so both Kagami and Ruri are not at school. So the rock broke? Ruri wants him to feel Aoi, but he cannot.

Thus asking about what's happening.

lol @ "Kagami Jr." well it's obvious that he was called like so (there's also his father), but isn't it funny to be heard the first time? I think I like Kagami Jr. more than current Makoto.

So Kagami family didn't want to involve in the experiment anymore (involving just because of their twins), and sensing that scientist is doing evil thing.

Aoi was not careful and broke the angel Ruri took a long time to make for giving to father.

Kagami father entrusting Makoto to take care of Ruri while everyone else goes ahead.

Ashi attacking the family while Ruri is making it at home and regretting yelling "baka" to Aoi.

Kagami and Ruri fathers dying battling against it. Aoi crystallized while protecting herself.

Night came and telling Alma to be free and not helping Ruri.

So the only goal the scientist want is Aoi or Ruri... Final battle coming soon!

I wonder when Aoi crystallized to protect from being killed by that ashi, would ruri have crystallized too when she almost got eaten/stomped on when her eyes turned blue as it almost felt and looked the same as when aoi crystallized? Well we finally know how aoi got into that state it's a sad story. seeing their family get attacked by an ashi which almost looks like kenmi's project 0. Surprising to see that the light or powers from alma's attack had removed that crystal aorund aoi's body but still unconscious.

2 episodes left wonder how will they end this?

I really don't see how they can finish this entire series off in 2 episodes.

Otherwise, an awesome flashback episode.

(GG has now elevated Ruri to the new name Rinoa. XD)

here's the thing... if that was Ruri's "flashback," then she would know/it'd be apparent that Kenmi killed her family.

Was that flash back from a more omniscient/third person point of view... I certainly hope so... because it's rather idiotic to mix herself up with that guy again.

Either way, a solid, heart-wrenching episode that I didn't expect from the series. I enjoyed every minute.

Oh, and Butler Sr. was BADASS.

After the final scene of the flashback Ruri says they don't know why Aoi ended up in the crystal. It was an omniscient view of the flashback, we can assume that Ruri was only giving her observation of the events: coming to the burning mansion with the dying butler, the dead servants and parents, and Aoi in the crystal.

This was a pretty intense way to get the backstory and explain some of what is going on. Kenmi, you're a dead man....
Please don't feed the trolls!

What a nice episode. But seriously, that Kenmi guy must die, and fast. I was close to crying when I saw that darkstone kill Aoi/Ruri's family, and Kagami's father. Man, having such great parents and losing them must be something really awful. No wonder Kagami and Ruri both hate darkstones.

On a different note, it was a surprise to see Kijima Knight there, at the end of the episode. I was actually wondering when will he show up again, since he's been missing for some episodes. Wondering if Fei managed to find a cure for him, since he wasn't a darkstone, but a human. He's always nice to see though.

Wondering how will they manage to revive Aoi. I'm really curious to see her powers, see how stronger she is compared to Ruri. Oh well, I still have to wait.

By the way, that darkstone looked a lot like Cyclops, Fei's brother. If the two are related, that must mean Kenmi has got Fei, Kijima and Cyclops more than 5 years before the story. That guy is really cruel. I hope Kijima and Alma will kill him.

So that's Kenmi's motivation ? Pretty basic I'd say but still legitimate for a bad guy I guess. Good flashback episode by the way, even though I wish Ruri had been the one in the mansion five years before, she's far less interesting than her sister.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Oya, it wasn't Ruri's flashback though. How you do this?
So anyway, Kenmi's the bad guy and last fight will prolly start next episode. Aoi should wake up too, or she'll just wake up at the end.
Also funny how Kagami's father had to die to prove usefull. ┐( ̄ー ̄)┌

LOL, I see nobody else has any idea why the Final Fantasy references, either ... it is kinda amusing, tho. I skipped most of the second half of the episode, to be honest, only really watching the part with the Darkstone armor. Too much flashback about a new character I don't give two shits about and who looks exactly like the female lead. Not a bit of fighting either.

Thumbs down for me.

That mother fucker Kenmi must be tortured and die very painfully@

Well now we know Ruri's past, guess it was a lucky thing that Aoi broke Ruri's thing as it saved her. And Aoi is pretty cool huh.

Kagami Sr. is a fucking boss.
"Tonight, I sit in the eye of the storm. As fire boils around me, I press forward, winds and lightning lashing my wings. I am no match for what I face. Yet I will not back down, and though fear may place it's stranglehold on my heart, courage will see me through. With tears in my eyes, I hit full throttle. My engines become an inferno, and my weapons light up, awaiting my command.

If I die tonight, I will do so fighting for everything I believe in."

yeah, kinda suspected all along Kenmi was the main boss. not surprised he was behind Ruri's parents dying. Kagami's father was pretty cool though, a real badass.

it actually wasn't bad but I want to see that Kenmi douche get what is coming to him.

So the English subbers have been changing names for FF references? NO WONDER THE SPANISH SUB TEAM I FOLLOW BRING THE EPISODES A COUPLE OF DAYS LATE!!!! D:<
Just kidding! XD They delay their releases regardless the reason, but at least the quality is (in most cases) extremely good

I believe it was because Alma started out a lone wolf like Squall Leonhart, over time growing more caring and wanting to protect his friends and the girl he loves. Then with Ruri being Alma's love interest, just like Rinoa Heartilly with Squall, Ruri ends up being Rinoa. And personally, while being similar in those aspects, I think it's a complete insult to the characters Squall and Rinoa but then I'm a Final Fantasy fanatic who gets defensive about things like that. XD

And yay, little Kagami! So adorable! :3

A very nice flashback.
Though I think Ruri's cuter now than she was 5 years ago.
And LOL at their hairstyles when they were kids. XD

Well, Well, another good episode, and FINALLY we get some back story about Aoi. However, they are still being naive, and the spoiler of a preview gives you an idea how this is going down.
