| yeah some fanservice.. claire is really cute.. and that moment when karl finally back.. :' and these feelings when we know who claire is.. :/ |
| I was thinking throughout the episode what an angel Claire is and then I go "o__o that BITCH!!!" >_<! Fuck. I didn't want it to be like this *sob*, this is lame KLJDSAKLD*&(*@#!__!! Doesn't matter if she is a puppet or not, she did what she did and I hope she pays. On a side note chibi Ariel is cute :3 |

| I did NOT see that one coming... Claire = Nina... woa! So um... why did they use a blow-up life boat when their plane was still afloat? ... oh right... and excuse to get wet... |
  |
| Yeah so I caught up. Definitely one of the better shows of the season BUT I still think it's more suited for a movie format. And I still think it's a bit lackluster. Also, ugh the red-haired girl is so annoying. No need to blame it on Karl when he got bullied by the other guys in the sky. |
| So Claire is Nina? hmm nice little twist there. Its funny reading the comments about episode 3 and how in that thread there were people speculating that Claire is Nina but others are like....'naw couldn't be'. and then BAM! that is exactly who she is lol. anyway nice episode! |
 |
| Well, I think most of us expected that... if nothing else due to Claire not having her own character page. Still, that was kind of a weird way to reveal that she's Nina Viento to be honest... I mean why would she randomly just say "I am Nina Viento!", it probably wouldn't bother me as much if she hadn't actually said it out loud. I felt bad for that girl playing as Kal-el's mother who got hit with a rock... why the hell would someone throw a rock at an actor because of their role? I guess it's kind of like the reason for the saying "don't shoot the messenger". Barion-Zara said: Yeah, seriously what's up with everyone freaking out and wanting Nina to die? We don't even know the particulars of what happened. We don't know if Kal-El's parents were actually good or bad rulers, all we saw was a fraction of what he remembers of his past as a kid, from his tiny perspective. For all we know, she really could be a hero, and Kal-el was just unfortunate enough to live with the regret and sorrow. And after all, his mother told him not to hate anyone, so she seemed to believe that things weren't what they seemed.Not to mention it hasn't even been proven that Nina's actually the one controlling the wind... the guy that was shown standing in the sidelines grinning maniacally is clearly the true mastermind, and is probably completely manipulating her reputation. She's likely nothing more than a mascot. As far as we even know, so far, she didn't "do" anything aside from stand there and wave her arms. Nonetheless, I am pretty interested to see the chaos that will ensue when he finds out. |

| Kinda expected the plot twist. Nice episode though. Wonder how Karl reacts! |
| wooow! wow. i'm usually not surprised by plot twists like this, but it's a credit to how well crafted the story and characters are so far that i was both shocked and intrigued by that ending! i'm really looking forward to every episode of this anime. |

| dat ending.... "NO WAY" was my reaction... T___T |
 |
| I must say, this series has been going extremely well so far. Its pace is excellent for a 1 cour/12 episode length. Anywho, I hope character development will ultimately let us side with forgiveness, because that's where I see the series headed as of now. |

| whoa I actually didn't see that ending coming.... Now it's just going to go with how she's misunderstood or something I guess. I guess she's definitely more than the average noble. |
 |
| 5/5 Graphically it is improved, but the credit goes to the emotional impact of the OST, during the flashbacks I was moved! T_T Storytelling simple, pleasant and unpretentious, until it has reached the end! What a surprise, to find out who actually is Claire, but now I wonder, why show it now? O_o It was better to choose a more appropriate time? I hope manage to make the story even more unpredictable, today only drawback was the predictability of the plot, and I hope they add a little more of elements regarding the aircraft! * _ * |
 |
| Kal-El fell in love with the girl who he wants to take revenge against. lol Awesome plot twist. I love it. lol |
| are people really that good at judging plots or am i just slow? so many people said that they expected that ending but that, for me, was the biggest plot twist i have seen in a while. although i can see how you could think of the possibility of this happening.. |
 |
| I'm really liking how this story is shaping up. Claire being Nina really blew me away, but now explains her quick deductions as well as why everyone is so protective of her. On a random note, Ignacio looks like L-Elf from Valvrave. I wonder what he wants from Kal-el. |
 |
| Dafuq? Didn't see that coming. Also, that kid who threw the rock at the actress should be stoned himself. |
| I feel like it was a little early to reveal something that significant, but whatever. That's pretty crazy, I guess, though I wonder the reason. |
 |
| That cliched Ari scene, made me cringe so hard I had to pause the video a few times. That end, that twist.. How is it possible? Was she just pretending to be shy and all? How can she be that young? How old was she when Karl was bowing in front of her years ago? Was that another Nina Viento years ago? There are so many people who can command/control the wind? I have a lot more questions.. |

| Oh wow, haha, I must admit, that was a good twist I didn't saw coming :P She also seem brainwashed a bit. The way she said it at the end that ''she was the good guy punished the bad ones'' seemed like something she recited herself a lots of time. So they got closer and farter in the same time since we learned the truth about Claire. I wasreally wondering how was his years with his new familly and I got my answer. It's always great to have some background early in the story. I hate it when they pull it out that the end of an anime and that you're confused for most of it. I wonder how it will proceed in the future. The person he loves the most is also the person he hates the most... |

| Did not surprise me that Clair is actually Nina. Got spoiled since first episode already. Sigh I dislike Ariel's violent action to Kal when he came back. I got annoyed. |
| Amazing just amazing that ending <3 That I totally didn't expect that was just beautiful! This is going to be great, I can't wait until he'll find out the truth about Claire xD shit just got real... oh man this episode all my yes <3 |
 |
| Pretty amazing story, im really moved by it. So far, its been adding more and more plot, and with this ending i cant wait to see the next chapter. When Claire realized, i said to myself "Finally someone takes note of the similarities of names and appearances" hahaha |
| I KNEW IT! I called it half-way into the episode! What a twist man! Another great episode. But you know, if what the townspeople are saying is true, then his father, the Emperor, wasn't doing a very good job. If he was doing a good job then the people wouldn't have felt the need to revolt. I'm not sure if I should blame Claire at all for Superman's parent's deaths. |
 |
| WHAT! |
| Shocker! |
| Before finishing episode: Man those flashbacks are pisspoor After episode: wtf |

| The ending, unexpected. I expected Nina Viento to not be related to Claire but wow, once Kal finds out he'd give no damn about killing her. She caused his parent's deaths, destroyed his empire, good motives to seek revenge against her. Ariel getting mad at Kal for not coming back. Despite her tsundere mode being sort of annoying I can sympathize for her. |
 |
| i did not see that coming wow... |
| Love the previews of this show!! Ignacio looks so mysterious or cool during the episode but in the preview he loses all of that! love it xD The Nina/Claire thing was really unexpected 0.0 nice!! |
| WHAT???? Not gonna lie I wasn't even expecting that. |
 |
| What the flying fuck I didn't expect that plot-twist. |
 |
| I'm a little upset at the reveal that Claire is Nina because it was turning into a cute love story, but I know revenge is the main focus of the story. It will be interesting to see where this will go. I doubt Kal-el will simply forgive her, even though she appears to be a puppet anyway, something is sure to happen. Also Ariel is so annoying. Shut that girl up :v |
 |
| Were they even trying to hide who Kal-El really is? LOL how does no one else suspect who they are, like what. They didn't even try to like hide his past or anything. Wasn't expecting that ending though Oh yeah and tbh I find Ari like seriously annoying towards like did she really think Kal-El wanted to get lost? |
