| So, what was the point in that training? It's obvious that Shu is the most powerful person in Funeral Parlor as long as he has the proper void. He can take down an entire army of mechs on his own, he doesn't need to know how to shoot a gun. It'd be much more useful to figure out which members of Funeral Parlor have voids that would be practical in combat. At least he was smart enough to realize this during the mock battle. Also, how can Funeral Parlor expect Shu to be an expert in military combat within a week's time? And, wtf is with Ayase barging into Shu's room while he's naked and slapping him like it's all his fault? Sure, Shu is annoying and wimpy but he doesn't deserve that crap. |

qvnsq said: Exactly! ROFL! But if anyone will be the cause of it is Inori. Ayase started to get busy with a possible thing for Shu, after all he impressed her by defeating her, however noting is sure and Shu is not really into Ayase except for her breasts, he did stare at them. Glad Shu kept that transmitter things interesting because if he decides to do an anakin skywalker Is it me or Tsumugi in the spoiler I doubt it has anything to do with her growing up but if the suit has some feature, I would like to know if it has to do with that enlargement. It's probably fan service ballooning. |

Confucius said: Wow, the only real characters I see in this show at the moment is Shu and Ayase. this is something i fully agree with. |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| Shu will betray Undertaker, Ayase will be hurt and/or killed by it, everyone will blame Shu, which will give him the attention he wanted but for all the wrong reasons, he'll take the lead to get revenge and redeem himself, and that takes us to episode 11. Prove me wrong, writers. So, what was the point in that training? It's obvious that Shu is the most powerful person in Funeral Parlor as long as he has the proper void. He can take down an entire army of mechs on his own, he doesn't need to know how to shoot a gun. Always take advantage of your strengths, but be prepared to fight at your weakest. What's Shu going to do if he's stuck alone against adult or mechanoid opponents? That's why they're (trying to) train him. |
| Inori is starting to remind me Rei Ayanami from Evangelion, a silent girl with many secrets. I liked this episode in general. It had some funny training moments, good character emotion and a nice cliffhanger at the end. |
 |
| Change the male protagonist please. *duhh |
| Screw Inori! I want a Ayase x Shu ending! |
| I'm thinking that Inori was the daughter of someone Gai liked maybe? But Gai is too young for that to be the case, right? I have a feeling she isn't a clone or anything like that - like people have been thinking. Either way, I really liked this episode, added feeling to the rebellion's side, and Ayase has to be the best mix of Tsun & Dere ever - I loved her. It's at the point where I wouldn't mind a Shu x Ayase ending. But Inori eventually coming to like Shu is probably what will happen/feel right. But I hope nothing bad ends up happening to Ayase. |

BRSxIgnition said: In a way this goes towards my other theory of Inori's brain being transferred to a whole new body, so the clone aspect is not totally in. Then you can think of it as her brain has problem adapting to her new body is another though in my mind. I'm thinking that Inori was the daughter of someone Gai liked maybe? But Gai is too young for that to be the case, right? I have a feeling she isn't a clone or anything like that - like people have been thinking. At this point there is nothing we know of Inori's origins but anything else to disprove all of this with the clone theorem is simply that Inori's twin sister is the one featured in the flashback with Gai there. Well too early in the show yet for any of that so it's all speculations again. |
| I WANT MOAR OF THIS SHOW AND I WANT IT NAO! |

Also, I'm glad Ayase has gotten some significant screentime. And she is definitely cute with that blush, ufufu~ Magito said: Screw Inori! I want a Ayase x Shu ending! Here is a condolence: Chances are, there'll be one in the visual novel. Too bad for everyone outside Japan, eh. |
| My heart slowly cracked at how Inori acted towards the middle, then it completely shattered when I saw her go into the room with a shirtless Gai -_-... |
 |
| Oh Inori. I had such hopes for you. |
| next week can't come soon enough... |
 Just bored =P Not finished the episode yet. |
| Another good episode. So much for the people critisizing the anime for what Inori said. Never liked her to begin with. Poor Shu. Ayase is pretty nice though. Also liked Kenji's characterdesign. Looks interesting. |
 |
| Shit got real with the Satellite Weapon. Honestly I hope Shu stabs the Major with the pen :D |
  |
| After watching this I'm starting to doubt Inori saying she wants to be by his side forever in the train is genuine or just a lie to make him join FP. |
| i kind of always thought inori was a bitchy character. ayase on the other hand is full of win. tsumugi too. gotta love a good rebellion but so far im not really convinced by them. gai kind of pisses me off too. i have to give shu some credit for that but i cant totallys see gai becoming redeemed in the future anyway. |

YoKamis said: Lastly, whats up with the training? Why Shu need training? I hope Shu betray will them . But still I enjoyed this episode. I guess the training was a way to see Shu's current capabilities and getting him use to certain things so that they can see his potential to grow. He's going to need some basic combat skills in order to defend himself assuming that no 17 year olds and under are around to pull things out of. He got "lucky" on the test. Personally I did think it was ridiculous for them to expect a lot of progress out of him so soon. Dark45 said: I hated it, Gai is a complete ass hole right now. I also hate how the anime creators never consider true human feelings into what they make. I mean I would be angry as fuck if I just got deceived by both sides in the fight. I would be tapity-tap-tapping on that pen and run away from everyone like hell lol. I hate how in pretty much all animes all guys are so nice and forgiving, and they're also stupid as fuck. Well thats just my opinion I guess, so don't flame me. Don't worry I'm not flaming you, just pointing out how I see things (: Shu actually didn't have the pen the whole episode until the end so he couldn't have has a chance to push the buttons even at his peak raging moment. One of the reasons he was going through the mock battle was to get the pen back in the first place. The ED credits did show him contemplating over whether he's going to use it or not and obviously this isn't going to be the end of the pen ordeal. Other than that, it was pretty clear that Shu was upset. But given his situation now he's a fugitive that really has no choice but either to go along with the Undertakers or to turn them in to GHQ. Right now he still doesn't really have a clear idea of what's going on nor who the bad guys are so he shouldn't really be acting rashly. I'd actually hate it is activated the pen (if he had it) now because even though Inori and Gai manipulating him is maddening, its an "understandable" (a-hole) tactic to make sure he sided with them. He'd only be pushing the buttons out of jealousy that Inori "chose" Gai over him which is a bit immature. Anyway before he could really lash out, he bumped into Ayase. I imagine it'll be all the more confusing as time goes on to differentiate the good or bad guys seeing as he's already started forming bonds with some Undertakers such as Ayase and Argo. Whatever Shu decides to do with Gai is pretty much going to have repercussions for them too. |
| The Idiot Ball Writes the Plot LOLOLOLOL Whatever Shu decides to do with Gai is pretty much going to have repercussions for them too. Quite obvious Shu would do something stupid, because The Idiot Ball Writes the Plot. |

| The strangest thing to happen in this episode was Ayase slapping Shu. Did she actually roll her wheelchair to where he was standing just to slap him while screaming or does she have stretchable arms? |

| I believe EVERYONE who think that Inori was the whole time lying is not very well informed. The creators said: The stronger the bond, the feelings between the person with the ability of the Guilty Crown and the person with the Void inside, the stronger the weapon is. Remember episode 4? This HUGE sword? Remember how EVERYONE was shocked, when Inori do what she want and don't listen to Gai's order? I mean not only Gai. Ayase, Tsugumi... EVERYONE was shocked. Really. Not played. (Why should Tsugumi play this? Shu couldn't hear her.) These are just facts. I love this anime. Really. But the haters really pisses me off. |
 |
| It's pretty clear Inori is lying to Shu - about her lying to him. Clearly, she was not merely following Gai's order. Other than that, Shu needs to beef up even more if he wants to become an influential member in the organization. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |

| Shu obviously knew that girl connected to Gai, as he had that flashback when Inori showed him the cat's cradle. I guess if you look at the little girl's picture you can see how obvious her hair is just like Gai's. They look so alike, definitely his sister. So question is how did Shu know her? But I assume again it has to do with his mother's job: maybe Shu met her when she was sick and under her observation. And as someone said before, Inori is probably a clone of some sort of that girl, maybe that's why she knew so much about Shu's mother, clearly her job is some sort of interest to Gai & CO. Inori being a clone would also explain why some of us felt like she wasn't really acting like "human" - all that high level building jumping that she does in episode 1 first and then in ep 4 without any sort of hesitation - some would think she was pretty confident nothing really fatal would happen to her. But then again, if she is a clone of a frail dying girl it would only be logic that whoever created her made a "stronger" version of the human. |

I doubt Gai is banging Inori, but I definitely see Inori wanting to be banged by him. They a sweet little encounter in his room where you can clearly see her longing for him. But it seems she has a one-sided love for Gai at the moment. |

| The episode wasn't that great like the previous one but at least it is a balanced show. There is one episode with plenty of action and some episode that involves interactions between the characters and some development. I was actually glad that Inori was lying to Shu. It was more interesting and it would have been boring and typical if Inori turned out to be a character that becomes so close with the MC so quickly like in other shounen. As for saving him in the past episode, perhaps it was an order from Gai to gain his trust or it was her heart. And now we know why she is so devoted to Gai. On the other hand, I hope Shu's personality will change because he is trusting people so easily. And by this episode we confirm that Inori is probably not a human. A clone of that girl from the flashbacks is the most obvious thing to say, but who knows. And Gai had next to him a cross and we see Inori in the opening with a crystallized big cross. What I believe: Looking forward for the next episode. |

Actually, that's a valid point. lmao. lucjan said: I WANT MOAR OF THIS SHOW AND I WANT IT NAO! Waiting for the next episode has become a bitch to handle. Time can't speed up enough. So I have to agree with this. |
AmberFebruary said: yeah right, the other show is much more worth of the slot and of GC's length. ^I lol'd it never will end will it. |

| Inori? Who's this Inori you are talking about? All i noticed was that cute girl on a wheelchair. |

And, wtf is with Ayase barging into Shu's room while he's naked and slapping him like it's all his fault? Sure, Shu is annoying and wimpy but he doesn't deserve that crap. Pretty much this. I liked Ayase, but I did facepalm at that moment -.- |
| I'd have to give this a 4/5 it wasn't as good as the last episode but still entertaining. Ayase was pretty cool this episode. Nice to see other members of the Funeral parlor as well that guy with the "Zero visibility" Void is pretty cool. I didn't really like the way Inori acted towards Shu in this episode kinda feels like they were just using/ deceiving Shu all the way just because he has the Void. I wouldn't be surprised if he pressed that button but he probably won't since he still likes Inori. Gai getting hit by lecucyte... he'll probably survived since his the leader of this group that girl that was with him probably won't. Gai acts a bit too tough I think for someone who has an illness, I don't really like him. On another note, whenever I watch this I always remember Eureka 7 there are so many similarities. Well if this is anything like Eureka 7 this is probably gonna be the start where Shu will get depressed. Hopefully he doesn't though |

It was obvious that she wheeled over there just to slap him, because of the whole transition of "Gahhh!"ness. |

| I just don't understand how people can still be pulling for a ShuxInori pairing in this show... I mean this is crazy... even if they get together Shu would have to forgive and forget a lot of he was put through because of Inori and Gai. Not to mention that he'll have to get rid of a lot of doubt/suspicion that will be lingering forever in the back of his mind. Forever wondering if every thing Inori is saying and doing is what she wants or if it's another order from Gai. Forever being suspicious of her... Come on, she completely duped him AND FELT NOTHING ABOUT DOING IT!!!! She tells him matter-factly and just walks a way to her masters room without even looking back. She feels nothing for him... If I was him I wouldn't be able to forget something like that, EVER! |
