----------------------------------------
So this episode was a little on the slow side, but there were some big revelations. The biggest one is of course that Diva IS having Riku’s kids, twins no less. I wonder how long it’ll be before she gives birth, since it’s already been well over a year now since she took Riku’s precious thing. This all seems to be part of Amshel’s grand plan - which appears to have been explained this episode - to propagate the Chiropterans and advance to a generation of new unknown things. The only one who knows for now is Julia, and maybe this will be a factor in her joining back up with the Red Shield group.

What will the twins o.o Riva and Diku?

I actually liked how the episode was slow. It's a nice change of pace since it doesn't always happen in the series. I liked how Mao started warming up to Saya. It was also pretty cute how when she finally tried her own coffee she spit it out.

So this was Amshel's plan, but still it's gross that Diva is having Riku's children, somehow I just can't accept the fact... I hope after this time Julia will rejoin to the Red Shield~
I'm also glad that Mao won't go back to Okinawa, she's gone through a huge character development during the series, so I quite like her~

I guess that's why they emphasized that Riku was going through puberty and that's why he could hear Diva's song a few episodes ago... and why Diva would rape him...I still find it hard to believe that he was able to actually impregnate her, I always thought he was a precocious 8 year old nowhere near puberty :p

The change of pace was nice, and now we know Saya can't handle much more action because she needs to hibernate soon (I'd love for them to explain exactly why it takes 30 years to regenerate and such when Chevaliers have strong capabilities and never need sleep, but I doubt this will happen), which is saddening because I really hope she'll be able to accomplish everything she needs to before resting. I really liked Mao in this episode too--without Julia around (hopefully she'll come back after being thoroughly creeped out by the concept of little Diva spawn running about), she really is the only other girl around that's there for Saya, and I like her development as well :)

Good episode for Mao--I really wish we had seen more of her before this. Not much time left for Saya to settle with Diva.

Some much needed development for Mao. I always thought of her as an uptight girl, but her warming up to Saya and making coffee for the guys made me change my mind. I laughed my ass off at David's reaction to Mao's coffee: it's different. I love how the comedy in this series is so subtle yet effective. It doesn't go overboard - that's a good thing.

As for Diva bearing twins, I don't see why you guys are so surprised. Isn't that what was supposed to happen after Riku getting "laid"?

On a side note, Saya's sleeping rhythm is just bad. 2-3 years awake and then 30 years of sleep? That's crazy!

Yea i found the development quite nice I liked her as a Character would have liked to see her more and have a bigger involvement in the series but o well. Yea i though it was taking a bit long for her to mention the babies and everything.

Next episode is a baby shower! Lol just kidding. So we're getting to the heart of the plot here now since Amshel's supreme-ultra-evil plan is now brought to light. Julia will most likely rejoin the organization. Saya has little time left apparently and I liked the development of Mao too, she's not as annoying.
Hurr durr, I'm a burr.

The annoying rich bitch finally started acting semi-normal. Anyway, that 30 year sleeping thing is pretty messed up.

Ugh, am I the only one who really hates Mao? She exists purely for physical comedy and not much else. I was really hoping Saya would go batshit and kill her when she hit her.

So uhm.....did Kai watch Diva rape Riku? Cause he was kinda laying there on the floor....aw man my brain. D:

What a lovely loose, now there will be a definite step forward in the plot and will begin the last arc.
Narration by a bit of space to Mao and Jiulia, they are always behind the scenes, it's a pity they did not develop further.
I am so charged after the revelation of Anshel, now I understand why Riku and Diva was looking for because he was naked on the floor when they are dead. But now I wonder why Diva wants Kai as his Chavalier! * _ *
It would be interesting if these last nine episodes were dese of events and explanations! : D

holy fucking fucknuggets diva is pregnant and riku is the father

i didn't wanna believe she actually raped him but now we're certain she did - he was like 12, what the actual... to make matters even worse than that it was in front of kai

i actually like mao, her character was developed very nicely

the whole part where she thought saya was on that time of the month and the guys were clueless gave me a good laugh

Wow Riku abandoned his fatherly duty before his kids were even born. Bad on him :P

Mao got some good development this episode, after Haji bowed to her for snapping Saya out of her depression I got the feels.

Also I guess Kai watched his younger brother get raped in front of him. Damn what are our characters going to this about the babies :O??

Damn!
Julia is promoted, Collins is pissed as hell! We have a pregnency! Amshel's plan is brought out to day! I wonder if they plan to breed humans in captivity as only humans can become chevaliers, and most likely, only the chevalier of each of the twins will be able to mate with one another...

NOOOO! NOT A FIRST CLASS TICKET! FROM AMERICA TO JAPAN!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? THAT'S EXPENSIVE!

So that's why Riku was naked when he died...

So that's how their reproduction working, one sister's chevalier needs to impregnate another sister and the result will be female twins, poisonous to each other. I wonder if the birth process is fatal, i mean, something DID happen to their mother. And that finally explains why they called Hagi Diva's fiancee and themselves Saya's fiancees in the beginning of the series. Riku's rape was really obvious, because she undressed before the thing, he was naked and she rubbed her belly. Gross. Also, now i'm wondering if you can create female chevalier, though judging by the fact that the title is male it's unlikely. Being who he is, Amshel would've tried to do that at some point and if it worked, we would've seen the result.

Not just honoring him with her post time skip design, but also putting his seed to good use. At least no one can fault Diva for not making the rape of Riku worthwhile.

Mao started kinda annoying, but I ended up liking her. It was nice for Saya to have some female company after she left Kaori behind.
