THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Little girl with short hair (that looks like a boy) and the dog playing with the maze... and that girl from Orpheus Order is trying to get them as target for their goal. Girl as giver and the dog as solver.

Luke is popular. They got a duplicate one and is advanced one, so that Q-chan can get the info. (and said POG will back-up), then left.

Pre-POG guy is mad from last time. The girl said she found a target to get Luke to hell.

The dog with bracelet vs. Luke with maze puzzle, a dangerous one with mist. Opponent route also getting destroyed when each gate getting passed. The girl was also given so she can give orders to the dog from the anger that the girl from Orpheus Order saying that what she said is wrong and wanting to prove it.

Luke thought of a shortcut, which the dog knows. The dog suddenly stopped and Luke explained to the target girl that what the dog like is the girl, not puzzle. The pre-POG guy activated full destroy, and not only Luke won the challenge, he also saved both of them.

Luke said POG is re-established and is going back to prevent from more victims.

More challenges from Orpheus Order and it relates to... Anna's sister? (not sure) next ep.

The writers really were barking up the wrong tree this episode is shot for crappy pun XD.

To be honest, I felt the plot for this ep was a lil bit retarded. Especially when Rook had to explain to the kid (couldn't tell if the kid was a he or she, they had a female seiyuu but the subtitles said he, ah whatever) oh look the dog really loves you and not the puzzle o_O.

The size of that little kid's head was ridiculously large compared to the body :P.

LOL Rook is pretty popular with the ladies...but we all know he only has eyes for Kaito ;).

So that preview...HAHAHA KAITO IN A TOGA. Pure crackiness FTW. The next episode is already sold for me! :D

Ooh. Using a dog as a solver... quite interesting.

Though I am more interested in Ana's sister in the next episode!

Random kid and his random dog were pretty random.

Rook's reason for not staying with Kaito and the others was dumb. Wouldn't a good way of atoning be, to help the people, he tried to kill, against the people that are trying to kill them now?
The writers just couldn't figure out, how to make Rook and Bishop join the party, without making the good guys heavily overpowered.

Speaking of overpowered. Rook can save a falling kid, holding his dog, with one arm? Damn!

Pretty much how it felt like.

Agree


Phi brain is an original anime, meaning that all of it's content is canon and nothing can be filler.
We could watch an episode where a random character do nothing but read a book/watch TV and it'll still be canon, not filler.

I really like to give that Melancholy a good spanking for using a boy and his dog to defeat Luke.

Totally random episode, but dammit, i'm such a softie for dogs. Watching Rummy run for his life while the puzzle collapsed gave me an urge to cry.


No matter how touching the story of a child and their dog is, this was pretty pointless. Just giving Rook some air time.

I like the focus on Rook, ow that he has become more down-to-earth than in S1. He's becoming a much more likable guy now.

Seems that the Orpheus Order is prepared to stoop even lower than the POG, if they recruit a girl and her dog to do their dirty work for them. It was a given that the dog would eventually resist the Orpheus Ring. The love for his master was just too big for anything to overcome.

PETA doesn't like anything, other than complete whoring for attention.

NHK loved it, though. So much, that they put a bit of self-promotion in the preview.

Just a few more episodes to go and it's quite suffering to read that the usual OP and some others still calling Rook by "Luke". And who doesn't love Rook with Bishop, a true eye-candy unlike those puzzle maniacs at school. If only Kaito gets jealous over Rook a little. I've got to see Rook playing solver this time, me is satisfied. Also Muller's rage ending each puzzle fight, that's what I will be looking forward to from now on. He's hilarious!



Lol aren't you sweet, Rook? Saying "Boku no Kaito" again in front of everyone.

That's just shameful... why would they even consider using a little girl and her dog! Pretty decent episode though Rook seems to be too good of a character...
