I can only assume what is going to happen. The shot is meant for Haruka, but the detective / someone else will step in the way. Either way I still enjoy this show.

This was a very suspensful episode. Today I had rewatched the entire series up to episode twelve and now everything is crystal clear the second time around. I caught things I didn't catch before, which made me love the show even more.

As for this episode, I'm still reeling. The major question is, who did Miyuki Nanase shoot? And did she hit her target? I'm suspecting that she was aiming at Haruka since they had plans on killing her in front of Yakumo before but I have a strong feeling that Gotou pushes her out of the way and gets shot instead (even though my inner masochist wishes Haruka didn't end up saved ALL the time, like a classic cliche damsel in distress).

The look in Yakumo's eyes right before Nanase pulled the trigger made my heart clench. Those last few seconds made the entire show worth while. Now I just can't help but feel that there neeeeds to be a second season because I honestly can't see all this being resolved in one episode...

The most predictable target for that bullet is Haruka or Goutou.

The most UNSEEN target... Nao...

For the sake of nao i hope its Goutou xD

I nearly screamed in frustration by the end of this episode. I really wanna know what happens. It looked like the shot was meant for Haruka but she thought it was meant for Yakumo and decided to try and be all heroic. I kinda think Gotou is the one who ended up being shot though, he seems like the kind of character to be shot at this point. And he tried to keep Haruka from moving anyway.

Most likely but i guess we have to wait till next week to find out.
That Haruka was on there hit list was clear since they tried to kidnap her during the last arc.
I wonder what will happen to that little girl and to Yokumo's uncle.

Well, suspenseful indeed. I loved the episode, and Yakumo owning that culprit. Glad we didn't have to sit through the investigation part though. I completely forgot about the car accident.( Excellent 9/10)

I wonder why is Yakumo's ghostly father is tormenting him so? How long has he been dead? Why did he kidnapped Yakumo's mom in the first place? I have so many questions. For the one who got shot Gotou seems to be the unlucky one.

Was he alive while kidnapping Yakumo's mother? That's a far more interesting question. Other than that, cheap cliffhanger and no suspense.

I can't believe that's just one more ep left... I really enjoy this series, and totally love the soundtrack.

Great episode, the case is solved now, and next ep will probably be concentrated @ Yakumo & his father. I guess everyone expected him to be a ghost, but... still sth is weird.Can't wait for the next (last! no more Yakumo! ;( ) episode.

Yeah, his motives are really unclear. Throughout this whole show he's just seemed like jerk of a dad who wants to torment his kid for shits and giggles.

So, I repeat: Yakumo's dad has gotta be taking the worst villain of the fall season award.

Goto: "Wait, you!"
Haruka: "Why are you going after him?"
Goto: "Obviously, because he's running away!"

Haha, gotta love human reflex. The whole situation with Isshin, the doctor, and his daughter really sucks. You have to feel sorry for Isshin. Nao is also affected by his fate. And then it's easy to see where the doctor is coming from. They did an excellent job portraying his piont of view. His daughter's going to feel terrible knowing what her dad tried to do for her - especially since she met Isshin.

What was with Miyuki this episode? She does 57934579345 flips through the air before kicking the police officers? Okay. And then she somehow jumps from... where? onto the roof of the building and dramatically points the gun up into the air (slow motion, of course), then points it at Haruka & co. Right.

Despite the lame parts, it was a really good episode. Much better than the last. Can't wait to see the finale! ^_^

cannt wait for a next episode... i wish there will be a second season as well... I like those character... Yakumu is really interesting guy and Haruka is quite good match for him...
I dont think so someone is going to die... probably someone will be shoot, but they are in hospital, so help for this situation is close... I dont think Goto will be dead, coz finally they have nao in his family, and she cann´t loose him as she lost Isshin... I´m more afraid of Haruka, coz if she dies, the situation about Yakumo will be more dark... and he will have to fight with his hatred... but she can help him also as ghost, so I m worried about her... i dont want her to be dead...

Finally, a good episode. Second half was really enjoyable because there was NO HARUKA. They should do this more often!
I like this "bad" Yakumo! He's way cooler lol XD
Obviously Yakumo's not gonna die. Maybe she killed Haruka!!! :D
Hmm, predictions on whether Isshin will wake up or not? :O
Anyways, good thing it's picking up. Might raise the score a bit :)

Now things are getting interesting.

The detective side of Yakumo was good though and it was a bit twist there

since I thought before that the doctor's daughter has nothing to do in this ep.

Nanase with her 3, 4 , 5 no, 6 flips in the air??? O_o

I can feel the tense in the cliffhanger. :)

i really liked this episode but hated the ending WHY A CLIFF HANGER i mean it was a good one but now im all curious about what happens next. it dosent help that the 13th episode has been aired and uploaded online but WITH NO ENGLISH SUBTITLES YET
i really hope that yakumo and haruka end up together and maybe a love scene is too much to ask of the last episode?

i wonder if the manga also ends there or if there might be hope for a season 2

The plot is pretty predictable. I knew the doctor had something to do with Isshin's death!

This anime appears to have something against doctors. There's the doctor whose daughter drowned in the river a few episodes back and now this. It seems the doctor is always the culprit!

Yeah from the whole conversation about Nao coming with them it seems very probable that the shot was for Nao and Gotou jumped in-frond of it. I highly doubt he will die though.

Great episode, I wonder will Gotou be the one who will be shot?
Haruka is still a little bit annoying for me and i'm in love with Yakumo's deduction, how he found that doctor was into murdering Isshin.

I wonder how that will end.

Yakumo showed his true potential as a detective in this ep. The way he investigated and figured things out by himself is amazing.
Plus, he looked like really cool kid in his school life <3

This episode was predictable and had a lot of forced "suspense" and even added a cliffhanger to try to be more appealing.

Goto will most likely be shot. It's pretty obvious.

So the dad is a ghost as expected.

The doctor twist isn't too bad but I have a big issue with it.
Previous episode, they said there were no footprints outside and no soil mark inside.
So how did the doctor manage to stab Isshin without leaving traces, especially since he was in a rush, so he wouldn't have time to clean up everything ?

Also the police is still incompetent, but that's pretty much the rule in that anime so this is no longer surprising.

Lol, why did Miyuki aim at the sky first. Had she aimed properly, she could have got another shot off.

Yakumo is turning edgy... oh wait, I hardly see a difference, tbh. Every character is insisting it, so it must be the case.

There are still so many questions left about Yakumo's father.

The cliffhanger isn't that big. Gotou will die by saving Haruka from the bullet and I hate it. It's not worth, please don't do it. 

How is this going to end, how can Yakumo beat his father.

How loud does the music in this anime need to be? You can barely hear the dialogue because there's an absurd racket playing in the background constantly, even when nothing is happening to warrant it.

Is Miyuki just a mary sue, or are the police in this anime utterly inept at every single thing a person working in the law enforcement field should be competent at? How did Miyuki kill everyone in the ambulance unarmed, jump sixty feet into the air, and then kill an armed police officer? Was it because they all froze up and stood there drooling listlessly so that the living plot device could go on to generate more drama? And how'd she get on top of the building, for that matter?
