If Suzu was all hyped to kill why didn't she just go for the lower official who actually killed the kid? =.= Would be heck of a lot easier to get to as well.

Just when I thought Suzu wasn't going to be an idiot anymore. Here we go again.

The characters in this series seem to love drawing obscure connections between bad things that happen to them and other people... and then blaming it on those other people.

You'd think that Suzu would just go beyond blaming Shouko and then blaming Youko... and just go ahead and blame the heavens and gods for giving Keiki the power to choose Youko as the Queen of Kei.

Sigh... Just when Shoukei came to her senses, Suzu lost hers. Although, perhaps she was this stupid all along...

What a turnaround.

It was the princess brat who wanted to kill Youko and it was Suzu who thought she would be able to empathize and get along with Youko. And now they completely change their roles.

Bitches be crazy.
I'm really beginning to dislike this anime.
At least they could have reasonable explanations for everybody flipping out.

Suzu got all twisted again, but now its understandable.

Youko, its time to clean house.

Just when you think Suzu's improving, she's becoming unbearable again. Maybe I'm just in a bad mood right now but the characters (minus Rakushun and Youko) in this arc are ruining my enjoyment of this series.

Holy crap

Shoukou is a skeptic, and his arguments make sense

Awwww yeaaaah everything is falling into place

Now I feel stoked seeing the threads connect

Nice to know Asano would eventually be involved in the story other than to be saved and brought back. I like.

The last sentence is what I wanted to say exactly, lol.
Anyway it's a nice episode in general, the series is really watchable atm and have some turnarounds with good connections. The annoying are more annoying (Especially what Asano did) but anyway it's somehow good for the series. Now I could see why it has a good rating, because the first two arcs didn't deserve it (Although they weren't that bad but they were long with a very slow pacing).
Now I'm glad that I began the anime.

Lol. Too true. The only difference between the two, is that one created an overly idealistic and false image of what kind of person she thinks Youko is, and has been completely wrong from the very beginning, and still is. Unfortunately for Suzu, she doesn't have someone who actually knows Youko that can give her an accurate description of what kind of person she is.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

When that man started asking if anyone knew why Seishuu died, blatantly covering up his death by the Town Chief Shoukou, I flipped out. That was an amazing moment depicting how screwed up the place was. I don't think a truly screwed up place is represented by a populace bent on revolting, but a populace that's so sapped of moral and self-worth that it accepts its horrid conditions. Holy crap.

Oh, and Rakushun had an amazing quote.

"While a ruler is on the throne, the kingdom suffers very few natural disasters. That allows people to tend the land and get more grain stock. Flood control, town management, and everything else here follow the same policy. I feel sorry for a kingdom with a short-lived ruler. It doesn't matter if there are fancy shops, or fine estates, because one flood can wipe them all out."

I'm pretty sure this is one of the core points of Twelve Kingdoms as a whole.

I don't understand this anime
Sometimes they're talking about law and stuff, we must obey it
Don't they realize you can just bring the villager as witness they're corrupt also just killed a children
I mean if a Queen guaranteed their safety, there's nothing to afraid of

Yep reverse psychology it is
The one that seems bad is your ally, because your "ally" is making those good people bad
I wish the sword is more useful at time like this, I mean there are more useful swords in other anime
Like Keiki Excalibur xD


First the princess, now Suzu
Sugimoto -> Asano
Princess -> Suzu
Nice back and forth we have here :P

In short, Youko.. your kingdom sucks!
You need to start from fresh, like disband all of your "advisors"

Motivation of Suzu is all over the place xD
"The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there."

"Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life."

What a twist! Youko should call her army and take down the evil chief...I know things are not so easy, but well...
And now surprise, the other guy is also betraying her...

So the princess who initially envied and hated Yoko now thinks highly of her. Suzu adored Yoko now considers her an enemy and wants to kill her.

So many people want to kill Yoko...
Asano is out of his mind and has been getting on my nerves for some time now. I appreciate the character development of these characters, but some characters are easier to watch than others.

It will be a piece of work to expose Shoukou. This arc might turn into a detective thriller xD

And damn Suzu, don't do anything stupid.

Suzu first saw Yoko as her savior and Shokei wanted to kill her out of jealousy. Things are reversed with this episode...

Tbh I just want her to slay all the officials and place her own pawns. Its impossible irl but in this world i think it will work, considering she's immortal and protected by many beasts.

@BiggKab Yeah, this is how fucked the world is. Imagine a queen being afraid to take down the mere chief of a town/province or whatever.

There is something interesting about seeing how many sins and misgivings can be pinned on Youko for what she hasn't done.

Redeem yourself arc, Suzu went from admiring Queen kei to kill her, like she always find to make queen kei put more work. the other girl seem to be much better after meeting best boy Rakushun and starting new life. Tbh Rakushun deserve kingdom than the other character.

totally agree with other comment that they switched mentality.
