----------------------------------------
If you get to know who I am you'll find out soon enough that I have a love for Subaru/Seishiro! ^_^ I only support canon pairings so don't get on at me because you think Seishiro said something else... you just know he didn't. :)

Anyway, this episode has got the be the saddest episode of all! I cry everytime & as much as the episode is my favourite one, it is also my most hated one! Come on, the episode is just so cruel! I wish it had ended differently (just my opinion, don't bash me!)

Those whispered words were a mystery to me first as I had already forgotten what Seishiro's mum said before she died, but then when people started talking about it I began to wonder. Then I came across Tokyo Babylon which helped a lot too (go read it if you haven't, it's X's prequel!)

Anyway, any thoughts?

Poor Subaru. The love of his life is dead and now his barrier is gone.

Kinda like the homoerotic undertones here in X.

Sooo Seishiro was basically Subaru's nephew right?.. Seishiro called Hokuto his mother, and Hokuto was Subaru's sister.

And wtf Hinoto betrayed the Seven Seals?? wtf is the point of this anime now? she was supposed to be the Seals' leader...

Subaru's suffering is killing me. I love his character soo much that it pains to see him lose everyone's he'd loved.

I didn't remember that scene from Hinoto, but now it all came back to me and the angst, Gosh.

My main complaint being that Fuma pierced Subaru's eye, and all the anime did was grey it out. I feel like it should be pretty much destroyed, or at the very least have a hole in it. Seems odd that it's perfectly intact, just grey.

"...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?"

Damn sakurazukamori clan is cursed af

seishirou killed his own mother sadly



He rocks the look



Fuuma is sadist making Subaru unable to kill him by projecting his loved one


And looks like Kanoe is right. Her sister is even more sus



We get a sad end and both of their fights concluded





Looks like Fuuma won at end, he made Subaru's barrier meaningless by making Subaru kill Seishirou.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

@coyote256 Its just a picture of subaru and his sister hokuto with seishirou when they were friends. Before seishirou decided to reveal his true colors and kill Hokuto for evil satisfaction

@m-i-c-h-a-e-l No, the one killed at the beginning was a different character. It was not Hokuto but seishiro's mother. Seishiro killed his mother to inherit the sakurazuka title.

@commonxreaction i believe it was a glass eye, hence being greyed out.
