| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well this was an interesting episode focused on Leo and...his sister. Up to this point, she's been in his thoughts a lot so it was really meaningful for them to reunite again. The surprising part is that she's getting married lul This episode also had Leo in a dangerous situation as he faced off against a monster (with similar eyes as his) who had interest in his special eyes. I'm not surprised that we got to see more of Leo and his sister's past. It's important for both of them with how they connected. 1 more episode left and I'm already missing this show.. |

| That was another great episode, but this time it focused on Leo and his sister. I would never have thought she was getting married, and to a monster no less. I thought she was much younger but I guess not. The story for this episode didn't wrap so it will go on into the final episode sadly. I was hoping other characters would get some time in the spotlight. Oh well, hoping for a third season. |
 |
| At the ending White appeared right? |
| Pretty good episode, focusing on Leo and his sister. Got to see some of their backstory. I guessed right away she's getting married, but not to a creepy monster. It has the similar eyes as them. One more episode left. I can't wait. |
 |
| Didn't expected Black to reappear, tbh. It was nice to see him again, especially in a series when you don't know if the supporting characters are going to reappear or not (plus the fact he was a filler character). I like Leo's sister. We saw many scenes of her through the series, but I was eager to see how she was in person. Apart of her more energetic personality, I like too how she is not an idiot and is aware that her boyfriend had been possesed by a creepy eldritch being. I cannot help but find funny how the being who gave Leo his special eyes is an ophthalmologist. For humans, that thing must being some kind of elder God, but for his race, he is the guy who revises your eyes. It's strangely hilarious. I hope this series ends with an actionfest as good as the one of the first season. And I hope it doesn't gets delayed either. |
 |
| Great episode. Was nice to see Black again for a few as well as Leo finally seeing his sister again. It sucks though that their reunion is dampened by the fact his sister's fiancee is being possessed by a creature that pretty much has the same ability as he does and then some. I really hope that thing gets destroyed asap so Leo can enjoy time with his sister. Very excited for the final episode. |
 |
| It was very nice to see Leo reunite with Michella after being away from each other for a while. Funny how it was originally meant to be Zapp and K.K keeping an eye on them but pretty much everyone showed up. Think K.K was enjoying herself to say the least lol. Looking forward to the finale. |
  |
| Michella arrives but she's under the watch of something that also has the god eyes. The demon was an engineer and not a magical god? why does he need another set of eyes then? just to mess with them. |
 |
| I correctly guessed that Leo's sister was getting married, and as I expected, there's some shady shit going on with her fiance. He's being possessed by a monster with eyes similar to Leo's, so that's interesting. The battle against the Blood Breed was awesome, and I'm excited to see how this wraps up. Hopefully we don't have to wait 3 months for the finale again. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
Sylphiette said: At the ending White appeared right? She appears but I'm not sure if that was in a moment of reflection or not, like how Michella was at the lake. I found it interesting that Leo can't try to ask for help since everyone is being held hostage. Does anyone know if the eyes of god are manufactured? that would explain why that creep had an eye. |
| It's not the Slates that is essential to people. What we need is... Well... A small table to share a meal... That's more than enough. That's my conclusion. The answer I've reached as the Silver King. |
| I don't want this series to end, this is terrible... Impressive antagonist though. gg |
 |
| Poor Michella, she doesn't deserve this. |
 |
| Everyone's coming to see Leo meet with her little sister. This should be a heart-throb reuniou, but instead... |

Sylphiette said: Yup, and I think the butterfly in the prolog was her.At the ending White appeared right? The episode was quite emotional. Like other people here, I also guessed correctly about Michella's marriage & the thing that possessed her boyfriend. Loved the bond between Leo and Michella. They kinda remind me of Black & White in the first season.. Looking forward for the final. |

| Ah the classic "my sister is getting married to the perfect asshole" scenario. It's kind of refreshing to see that in anime form. |
 |
| The final antagonist seem to be so strong and powerful. He can manipulate others prespective and have decent combat ability. Hyped to watch final episode, hope it get happy ending. |

| secret technique: synchronocity! 結婚するから I'm getting the vibes that our antagonist isn't really such a bad guy. what he really wants is Leo. Michella was just a lead thus the "I didn't do anything to your sis". |

| Well, it looks like Leo is being put into an extremely difficult position going into the finale, with the one enemy that he can't really do much about. It's going to be interesting to see Leo approach this enemy, but I feel like the show is going to be very hard-pressed to end this in a satisfying manner in just 20 minutes: it feels like there's a lot to be done in such a short period of time. |
| We finally get some screen time for the sister! That is one scary dude! That final scene was intense af. |
 |
| This is straight up the worst episode of Kekkai Sensen, including both seasons. Not only does the production values just drop this episode, but the story is pretty fucking bleh. The villain is shit, he's one of those types that's just really evil but I don't think his personality is very charismatic at all compared to other evil for the sake of being evil characters, and since he comes out of nowhere he doesn't have any solid foundation. Sure, I guess it fits the nature of the series for Kekkai to have some crazy shit come out of nowhere due to the nature of Hellsalem's Lot, but I don't think that's good writing. Not to mention that I don't really see a way for Leo to get out of the situation without it being an asspull; now in a way that was true for season 1's finale, but the presented solution works very well in my opinion. Here, the villain seems to have too many cards up his sleeve(whereas the King of Despair was just straight up stronger then Leo and not necessary. Also, isn't Femt supposed to be like the main villain type character? He's in the OP and ED themes and he's been built up as the anime hitler of this show, why the hell has he barely gotten any screentime this entire season? What the fuck? Toby and Michella's relationship comes out of nowhere, especially since Toby seems to be considerably older then Michella(who isn't older then early twenties at the very most.) Sure, it's supposed to come out of nowhere for Leo as well, but again I don't think that's good writing even if the effect is intentional. Especially since Leo isn't really focused on this aspect at all because he has to deal with a giant death monster. As you can see, a lot of this setups problem is that this stuff is all coming out of nowhere at once and it doesn't mesh well to me, for a while I was just "what the fuck is going on" and once I finally got a bearing on the situation, I could then think that it was all fucking stupid. I like the idea of Michella reaching out to Leo because she knows something is amiss, and the idea of Leonardo and Michella facing this villain together, but all this other stuff is sort of ruining anywhere I feel this could go with the idea. Of course, maybe the next episode somehow pulls it all off and it just works, but I doubt it. I also liked K.K this episode, she's really fun and I'm glad & Beyond decided to give her some more establishment because she's one of my favorites from the series now. Otherwise, very poor episode. |

| And people still think first season is better... jeezus. We finally get the name of the orchestrator for Leo's eyes, Riga El. Interesting plot progression, let's hope for a thrilling finale. |

| Great episode and one which is moving the plot forward. Loved the part where Libra members attacked the Blood Breed, that looked awesome as fuck. Hyped for the final, does anyone know if it will be a special again ? |

You do realize this season is how Kekkai Sensen is supposed to be . It's not only more faithful to the manga , it adds development to all the neglected characters of season 1 like Chain, Steven, and K.K. What you consider to be episodic nothingness is in fact the episodic nature of the story. Also... while you claim that nothing of season 2 is worthy until this episode , the same could be said of season 1 . Not until episode 10 of season 1 does anything involving White or Black occur. Much of season 1 is episodic as well, don't believe me > season 1 episode with Deldro and Brody , Klaus fighting underground, episode of Leo and the burger guy . Those all have no direct correlation to the storyline and are , you guessed it , episodic . So no, season 2 did not do absolutely nothing, it did exactly what it should . |

Yes I'm aware of how the manga is. Oh, don't misunderstand me, First season isn't by any means something to put on an pedestal, it was such a waste of potential but its still better than this second season, even if it is canon it falls on the same of the first season, wasting time on random episodic events rather than plot itself. THAT doesn't change the fact that they took 11 episodes to finally TOUCH something about Leonardo and his Sister. Even if this second season focuses more on "character development" 10 episodes is way too much. Kekkai Sensen has the potential to bright with its plot, but drives it away for way too long.

| Glad to see Leo's sister, she's a nice and funny girl, and maybe she hides other secrets, her eyes send me into raptures. Very dark atmospheres, fortunately there is KK to make the narration fun in the first part. |

Now everyone thinks season 1 was how Kekkai is supposed to be , and are upset when there's no teenage drama in the mix , even though White doesn't even exist . Now it just seems so awkward when Black suddenly shows up because we also have no background on what happened to him after the final episode . Hell, even the last episode of season 1 isn't that conclusive on what happens to White and Black, besides White becoming a barrier / butterfly . Honestly I don't think we need to know Toby's background , he's just a stepping stone for more dev on Riga El and the Eyes. While I do understand he came out of nowhere, I doubt he's here to stay and if he is , they're bound to have some more background info of him in flashbacks in another season (*fingers crossed) |

Still I wouldn't change Leo's Food nemesis on the first season, probably the best thing I saw on it. |

It would still be episodic and this eye stuff sister would still have been a 2 part episode on season 1. It should have been more over arcing if it's that important. I mean episode 1 of season 2 adapted the 1st chapter of the second manga so which means nothing in the story would change and everything will go back to being episodic again. |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Finally, an episode that have conection to the plot. And it was really good to begin. We know now who stole Michela eyes. 4/5 |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| WOW! most intense episode as of yet! probably next episode will be intense also but as well as a climax ender episode. Anyway, we got some very troublesome villain who has one pair of the same god eyes that Leo's has! And what's more her sister Michella is involved with the mess! DAMN! Leo always had it hard. I hope Leo takes a break with all of this going on. 5/5. |
 |
| Best episode of a pretty decent season. I can't wait to see what happens next ep. Hopefully not a quick wrap-up of Leo lending Klaus his god-sight, and Klaus whooping that invisible guy's ass. |

I think that's mostly subjective so I can't say whether or not that is true. Since you mentioned Chain, I actually feel she got quite a boost this season. Even when she wasn't the focus, (ie. this season when Leo gets his wallet stolen), you see her neglect him at first, but in reality goes to the bar to avenge his honour. So for me at least, I feel she has quite a presence. I rewatched first season prior to the start of this, and from what I can rmbr, she was literally a lone wolf the whole season. She was dabbled in for S1E2 when she tracks down the car that kidnapped Leo, and S1E6 when she gives a notebook to Nej. Other than that, she felt quite nonexistent to be fair. |
| Also forgot that Aligura and the blonde guy wasn't in this season despite being in the opening :l hope they at least have a cameo appearance next episode >.> they might have forgotten about them already |
