| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The battles were pretty decent I guess. The boss they're fighting seems to pretty damn strong. Really liked the OST this episode though but kinda feels like everyone is fighting against fate. I admire Ginka's determination this episode but also felt like there was a big death flag raised on her. Oh snap, I think it came true ;o Dem counterpart cards. |

| ....shit |
| Death flag to death battle--three seconds, couldn't they spend at least a minute between Pops raising the flag and Ginka making it come true? I'm beginning to get the feeling that Casey Jones is the engineer on this train.... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| So much Madoka alike... |
| Damn, why did Ginka have to do that, what the hell, I really have no words on what to say about this episode, just damn |
 |
| Wow it's interesting how Ginka was the first one to say that she would run away if she encountered her own card, but then ended up not doing so after talking to her father. Will she be forgotten too? :( |
| This definitely was a sad episode but was very predictable after the reveal at the beginning. Now maybe everyone will dissapear while coming to terms with themselves with Akari being last? There is a chance that Ginka didn't die and they combined like her clone said. I hope there's another plot twist like that to keep this from becoming predictable. |

| ehh. wish i could say this was sad |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| It's always the blonde ones who are the first to go. Can't say i'm sad or shocked since this show isn't subtle about its death flags, but I did like this character and I feel bad for her pops. |
OneMan said: LittleStar said: So much Madoka alike... Wrong. Madoka was good. This episode was just cheap writing, bad directing and forced drama. Yeah, agree... Just this anime is for me just like copy of Madoka... |
| Ginka became too aggressive and paid a hefty price. |
 |
| Why Ginka!?! That was sad. yuukiwr said: in my opinion they just have to accept there counterpart. there counterpart maybe represent there true feelings and angst and they have just to embrace them instead of killing them. That's an idea. You saying this reminded me of Persona 4 lol. There better be a way for them to destroy their counterpart without them disappearing. |

Will she be forgotten too? :( Yeah, I thought the same hehe. Wondering about that too. Hope her dad didn't forget. Anyway she was BA til the end RIP Ginka. |
 |
| Im the only one who doubts that she died? I mean that final spark look more of an fusion.. I mean I think she fused with her counterpart card but got warped elsewhere |

I hope there's another plot twist like that to keep this from becoming predictable. Cerebrum clearly knows things, one of which (pair annihilation) Sephira Fiore has only just discovered. A 1:1 trade isn't advantageous however you look at it - both sides have the same finite number of cards - except as maybe a morale blow for the Elemental deck side. So yeah it's possible it's not entirely a 1:1 trade. |

| Ginka died. Which wasn't much of a surprise because of the death flags. Next week,is probably gonna be a despair episode. Then my bet is on Luna next,then Seira and then Akira will face her counterpart card and become one with her,and eventually figure out how to revive/save everyone who died. |
| So if they encounter their Counter Card that a Daemonia holds, they will also disappear, well I got a little confuse in the beginning but I understand their situation. I kind of cringe a bit when Ginka gets hurt, and all decided to retreat to recover. The sad thing is that Ginka face the Daemonia alone and both vanished. Well I wasn't expecting Ginka's death, but it was sort of predictable imo in this episode about her. 4/5 Next episode should be interesting after this Counter Card fighting incident like Ginka. |

| It was pretty sad, but I felt that the episode was kind of rushed. And I really don't think that Ginka's dead - not when her counterpart repeated 'I'm going to combine with you.' for the whole battle. But why am I getting the feeling that that Cerebrum guy is going to end up being Akari's dad or something? If not that, he's atleast connected to her mom somehow. Which is why Akari's the only one who can understand the daemonia...or maybe not. Just a suggestion. |
| Aw damit! Why did Ginka have to go first? She was one of my favorites from this series. |
| Jesus Christ, how predictable can one anime be? It wasn't even sad. It felt really forced and needlessly dramatic, like everything else in this series, probably because of more general-mediocreness on all levels. I wouldn't even mind if it was actually enjoyable, but it's mostly not. |
| I respect what you did Ginka. I salute you! Going down in style. |
| why ginka dead? bad ending is absolute, because their will encounter with their own card. how to resolve this problem? |
 |
| RIP Ginka T____T |
| Welp, lolis start dying now. Glad to see the plot gears actually TURNING now. Things are either gonna get noblebright or grimdark now. |

| They killed the best girl. Now I'm seriously thinking of dropping this ((( |

The thing is that Madoka wasn't all that great in these aspects either. The death flags in Madoka were even more obvious. Not that Madoka was bad but I think people are over-reacting about this series. |
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? |
Nachtwandler_21 said: They killed the best girl. Now I'm seriously thinking of dropping this ((( This anime has in general been a pretty big disappointment. They decided to randomly add counterpart cards this episode and immediately leverage it to kill off a character... The writers have no idea have to develop thematic tension or concept of buildup. |

| Anti-Temperance was pretty damn persistent about correcting Ginka with regards to "merging" and "eternal life" as opposed to Ginka's idea of blinking out of existence entirely. AT was informed about something by Cerebrum (maybe he lied to her, but I believe this merging/eternal life thing is probably more an important bit of foreshadowing, seeing as Sephiro Fiore is entirely in the dark about how this works. All they know is Lovers vanished in an explosion when she encountered her doppelganger. Ginka has possibly ascended to the Aeon deck (Elemental and Diabolo being the other two decks that were spawned from Aeon), whatever that might imply. Sounds like in this case it was an advantageous and calculated sacrifice for Cerebrum if he knows what really happened to Lovers and is exploiting that knowledge while Sephiro Fiore group remains clueless and several steps behind. For whatever it's worth, I vaguely remember it being stated that Aeon deck controls the Tree of Life. This might be a powerplay on his part in a bid to seize control of it by returning the respective decks back to the one from which they split. The final act in the ages old battle of Elemental vs Diabolo. That's my speculation for the week. |

Omniknight said: Nachtwandler_21 said: The writers have no idea have to develop thematic tension or concept of buildup. It's true. A shame, because this story had the potential to be so much more engaging if the writing wasn't so lackluster. Dunno why I'm so fond of this show in light of the glaring flaws, but I am and I'm unrepentant about it. Maybe it's just that I keep my expectations low and just go along for the ride. e: Oh hey, so Luna's returning home to her parents' house next week. I'm guessing we'll find out what she's all about and what happened to her sister Serena that she sees so much of in Akari. |

I know this is MAL and intelligence is not to be normally expected but come on, man. |
| So now the girls will start killing themselves? Personally it's a bit of a let down hopefully we will see some twists developing latter on. I still think the person who will betray the girls in one way or another is Luna right now she seems to be the one most insecure about herself. |

Will she be forgotten too? :( Ginka's character interests me more.. It was like... She is afraid, but same time she balances herself and accepted her fate... Getting to fight her own counterpart after all. Now what will happen to the other girls or the other side Tarot characters.. |
 "Everyone go love Cyan!" |
| Ginka! I wonder how long the rest will last. |
  |
| Well, the animation was great during the battle with the 1000's of coins. It wasn't as emotionally impactful as it could of been. |
