Which doubles as a Gatchamobile. Thankfully Joe got saved and we got some Hajime x Sugane at the end. Really good episode, tons of happening! Perhaps Rui will become a good guy now?

| >I'm dreamy I never get tired of hearing that tbh. Episode was pretty fun to watch with the action. The weird question asked was: Katze said: When does a planet have the prettiest shine? Katze said: Answer: when it is destroyed Was hoping Hajime to kick some ass this episode though. Ahh...BB codes are disabled right now, can't post any cool images. Oh well~ |
 |
| Mamoru Miyano's performance as Berg Katze!! WOW!!!! So now I know why last week's episode looked like crap, all of Tatsunoko's people were working on this one |
HybridMBLAug 23, 2013 1:22 PM
| Oh my, that episode was crazy. And pretty dark. Things are getting serious. Berg Katze is ridiculous. He/she took out the Hundred in a quick minute. Then Rui really got the crap beat out of him. Does this mean no more CROWDS? Pai was cool for a second when he revealed his transformation, but then he ran away after having second thoughts. Kind of a buzzkill. I'm still curious on why Pai doesn't want OD to fight though. That scene where Berg Katze ripped out Jou's NOTE was kind of scary. I really thought he was gonna die after that. Hope he'll be okay. |
| Pai-Pai transformed and was awesome until he ran away... So 7 episodes in and there is no more CROWDS? Or will he just get a new group of 100 or perhaps use everyone in the world? I hope Joe is not dead. They didn't look said so it safe to assume he is alive? |
 |
| I swear, Miyano must have a lot of fun playing as Katze, it was funny hearing him when he was mocking Joe's attacks, but I hope that Joe is alright though. Also Paiman fails as a leader -_-, you transformed and act all epic and then you just run away like that, shame, shame, shame But Hajime and Katze's conversation was interesting, I do wonder what is the sweetest thing that every human loves. I also wonder what Rui plans on doing now since Crowds is gone. |
 |
| Pai-Pai was so cool transforming and then he just runs away. I was hoping Hajime would fight but im fine with the way things went. Joe got thrashed left and right and left in a puddle of blood. While Katze was just toying with him =, i enjoyed that so much. |
 |
| I was like shit just got real when Pai-Pai transformed. Then I was like, you asshole when Pai-Pai ran way. Pretty intense episode. Rui and Joe got banged up pretty badly. I think the one thing that got me was that last riddle. ''What's the sweetest and tastiest thing every human beings loves?'' I thinks its life but I guess I just have to wait and see. Anyway good episode. |
 |
| Pai-Pai transformed!! Also, how cute is Utsutsu with her bangs parted to the side? |
 |
| Knowing Katze his answer might be violence. One thing though I am glad that Jou is still alive wonder how badly wounded he is though. As Pai Pai running away, can't blame the little guy. |
| That Pai-Pai tranforming was awesome! |
 |
| Nice Pai-Pai transformation, Hajime talking to Katse was entertaining |
 |
| I really wish they would give Hajime some flaws, she's starting to ruin the show for me. ;~; I think the answer to the riddle is power? mm I don't know though, seems too obvious. |
| u gay |
| The best episode yet. And Hajime delivering the truth about Internet:  Since pictures don't work for the time being: http://i.minus.com/j2pkrzwynAfAu.png |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| OH MY GOD WAS THAT GREAT. |

| 10/10 episode. I really thought Joe was a gonner there, I'm glad he's okay but I doubt he'll be doing any Gatchaman related activities for a while. Wasn't expecting it to get this brutal to be honest but I loved every second of this episode and Miyano's performance as Berg was amazing. Not sure about Pai-Pai, I was kind of disappointed when he ran away after that awesome transformation but it's understandable and Hajime continues to be my favourite character. OST in less than a week. Can't wait. |
| Wow what an episode. I have to agree with people here that its the best ep thus far. I thought we lost Joe for a second, but I guess he was able to pull through. Man that had to be a huge blow to Rui losing the Crowds hopefully it won't impact future ones since it seems only one survived that. Hajime actually having a conversation and getting Katse to like her. This was a great episode throughout hopefully I can get more like this. |

VioLink said: I'm pretty sure the answer to the riddle is "a kiss". Kiss, the Sun and satisfaction/power is what I thought of when I heard it. |
| I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| I'm surprised Sugane wasn't more upset by the conclusion of the episode. But I guess there is a calming effect to being around Hajime. I am glad that Sugane came to see Rui isn't a bad guy after all. |
 |
| Well can now say that literally nothing will shake Hajime going forward. I mean Jou was left in a bloody pile on the ground and Sugane wasn't in great shape there. Didn't throw her off at all. I really think she is supposed to be a similar character to Katze. Both of them are pretty nuts and don't get thrown off their game by anything. Just that one wants to destroy planets and the other isn't inclined in that fashion. Not surprised Paimon got rattled and ran. Avenging your friend, fighting the good fight all sounds good until you realize you are facing off against something that you can't beat. They can't even see this guy. Attacks come out of nowhere and are just too powerful. Of course maybe he should have explained that before they ran into a life or death situation. Either way Paimon needs to get it together. What a mess though. Seems like most of their options right now involve the world being destroyed. 1. They do nothing and the world ends. 2. They fight then die, and the world ends. 3. OD unleashes his power and the world ends but they take down Katze. 4. Hajime mind games Katze into giving up...yeah that's all I can think of that doesn't destroy the world. |
Rui-Rui said: Amazingly, Joe avoided his Death Flag again - guy must have awesome luck to survive that level of injury. Calling it now, Berg Katze must have hax'd the game somehow. Seriously, he managed to kill most of the Crowds in a few seconds and also beat the crap out of Jou + Sugane and Rui - what worse is that you can't even bloody see him expt for those crimson tail thingys. My feels hearing Rui get tortured by Katze like that...poor Rui Rui D: That aside, why the hell did we not get to see O.D transform? Lord lol, this show really knows how to leave you on a cliffhanger.....and Pai Pai really is pathetic atm -___- Hajime talking to Katze -like a boss- is also pretty funny, I think for a moment there she found out where he was standing already towards the end of their conversation. I wonder how would thing go on from here for Rui, this episode completely destroyed 96/97 of his Crowds and now he is only left with X and his own Crowds...guess he does have to trust the Gatchaman now. I presume OD's transformation involves unleashing a power that can destroy the world...so we might not actually see it unless he can find a way to fight Katze in the emptiness of space. |
| Impressive voice acting range in this anime. The beating she took was actually hard to sit through. I'd like to see how Hajime would handle extreme pain and sadness. |
 |
| This anime is just amazing. I can already tell it is going to be a long time favorite. I haven't seen anything this good in a long time. |
| This was the best episode so far for me. I'm really liking Berg-Katze so far and Miyano, Mamoru voice acting is incredibly well done in this particular episode. |
| Utsutsu and Hajime's bonding over origami was so cute. |
| Berg-Katze's VA is just cool and awesome. The voice is too perfect for the villain role. Can't get enough of it. And his interaction with Hajime is interesting. It's like listening to two "crazy and special" kids talking to each other. But I am SO disappointed with Pai Pai. Was so hyped up with that epic transformation then suddenly she bailed out... |
trannon1 said: I think it is fascinating that Hajime and Katze can get along so well. Hajime is really one of the most fascinating characters I have ever seen. Many of her actions and speech are erratic and weird but not only do they all have deep meaning under them, she can get along with the strangest people. Still, I'm wondering what is the reason that Berg-Katze is destroying the planet. "It is all you people's fault". That is a interesting phrase. Feels like Katze is just projecting his destructive impulses onto others. It's not his fault, it's the fault of everyone else. He attacks people while transformed into them it's not his fault that people die, it's their fault. Maybe Katze has just given up on people in general. That transformation ability lets him see into the hearts of others and maybe he's just given up on it all. And Hajime is something else. Can get along with politicians, leaders, and serial killers. Nobody she can't have a chat with. |
| I wonder what's the effect of having Joe NOTE (the manifestation of his soul) being forcefully ripped from him. Together with how Katze mocked his motivations and dreams, I think Joe isn't going to be as determined in the next episodes. Also, would that be similar to what happened to the Hundred or did they just pass out? I'm guessing they didn't die, because nothing was mentioned, but maybe next episode... And LoL at "Katze-ssu!" etc., Berg Katze sure likes to mimic people. XD |

| is hundred dead? this episode kinda disappointed. joe is henshin, but LOSE. PAi pai transform, but he COWARD and RUN AWAY. only Hajime-ssu who only fight - word/quiz play- with berg, and then, nothing happen. |
 |
| Wow, this episode was something else. Expect for the parts with Hajime (yeah, I don't think I will ever like her character), this episode was awesome. I love Berg and he is the most hax opponent in this show. When he was playing with Jou's mind, that was the most creepy, yet sensual scene I've ever seen. This show seems to balance the ridiculous with brutal seriousness all at the same time. OD has become one of may favorite characters of this show, alongside Berg and Jou. That guy may look like your typical over-the-top anime cross-dresser, however we've seen several times that that's actually a facade and that he's quite a shrewd, serious fellow beneath that neon yellow lipstick. His serious scenes here are some of his best, and I cannot wait to see when he transforms. However, OD and Pai-Pai weren't joking when they warned about Berg. That guy is ridiculously unstoppable. He does whatever he wants, kills who he wants, and no one can stop him. And he does it for fun. He's a true psychopath, and I just find that weirdly awesome. Poor Rui, you knew you had it coming didn't you? You are way too naive and idealistic, dismiss anyone who doesn't agree with your views, and then try to take on the very person who gave you your powers in the first place? Yeah, you're going to get your butt kicked. Not only did you get 98% of your forces killed, but Berg Katze wiped the floor with you. In fact, Berg was acting like he was disciplining a disobedient child, and in a way Rui walking right into it. I'm glad to see he learned the error of his ways, at least a little, in that the world needs heroes, even if it was a harsh lesson to learn. But sometimes you just need the crap beat out of you. However, I'm concerned that that computer AI of his will draw him back in again. I'm suspicious of Sousei X and will continue to be until proven otherwise. Pai-pai transformed this time, but he still did nothing really of merit. Utsutsu seems to be a walking deus ex machina and she and Hajime come in just at the right time to save both a beaten Sugane and a practically mortally wounded Jou. Berg Katze talks with Hajime and the two seem to both be crazy enough to be on the same wavelength. Yet, somehow I like Berg infinitely more than Hajime? But that may just be because he's a villain. So, all in all, this episode was great, with awesome fights, mayhem, destruction, a bit of character development, and a great villain. I give this a 8.9/10. |
| best episode in this series so far Hajime and Katze talking was pretty funny/interesting at the same time also got a good laugh at him repeating every time Joe used one of his moves |
 |
| Gawd I love Hajime. So happy-going, and nothing shakes her!! Miyano Mamoru's voice acting shines again. >:) Poor Joe. :( |
| Pai-Pai acting so cool until actually thinking how to defeat Katze. Hilarious! Hajime and Utsutsu bonding was so cute. |
 |
KanameFujiwara said: I just came to a terrifying conclusion -Berg Katse is the avatar of Earth! That's why he/she killed all those people. It view humans as a disease that is kiling the planet. Maybe that's why the note was given to Rui - it wants to initiate the apocalypse and wipe out the human race! TQ Wasn't it stated that Katze has destroyed other planets before? Wouldn't work if that's true. |
|
| Best episode so far. Perfect role for Miyano Mamoru xD |
| Love this episode!!! |

I don't know, but we can hope some 'miracle' happens, after all, Joe bird symbol is a phoenix. Also, that foreshadowing from previous episode.. Hajime is probably the only one that Katze cannot tamper with right now, she was like a blank white paper with no shed of ink to exploit. I wonder how they would deal with Katze. Also, what X doing is really suspicious, he keep telling Rui about his dreams and ideals to update the world... BTW, there are 3 of the hundreds that is spared from the killing, I think this will become a major point later in relation with Rui. And where is MESS-chan! I miss em already! |

little-flower said: I really wish they would give Hajime some flaws, she's starting to ruin the show for me. ;~; so her being smart, not giving a fuck, being cute, and her being straight forward with other characters has you upset? why? |
| Glorious Titties Nuff Said! Make America Great Again! |
| I screamed loudly when Katze ripped out Joe's NOTE mercilessly and Joe's screaming in pain I was like NOOOOO JOE-SAAAAANNNN and yeah I love Katze-Hajime talks I WANNA SEE O.D'S G-SUIT SO BADLY but I don't wanna lose him ;-; he's a fantastic character! Pai Pai I was about to compliment you on your cool G-Suit/G-Mobile but when you ran away, I WAS TERRIBLY UPSET this is definitely my ultimate favourite of the season besides Uchouten Kazoku |
 |
| Well this anime is really interesting. And Hajime is quite similar to that villain. Though 1 light while other darkness |
 |
| Berg-Katze is forever creepy ;A; but starting to appreciate Mamo-chan's awesome performance for this character. I thought Joe and Rui were gonna die D: |
| Maybe next time. |
| It pains me to see my beloved Rui getting beaten up by Berg-Katze. I mean, Berg is so creepy! Also, whenever he mimics the expressions of our Gatchaman it gives me the chillz! Fortunately, Joe survived (?). I was about to be so sad when I saw that his note was pulled from his body. If I remembered correctly, the note is also their soul or something? So it is destroyed, he's going to die right? Oh well. At least they have Utsutsu-chan. I really like Hajime now. |
PLEASE VISIT MY BLOG : http://shiizumi.wordpress.com/ |
| The scene with Berg Katze and Hajime conversing, with both of them trying to verbally joust eachother (Berg mimicking Hajime's speech patterns and Hajime attempting to get some kind of meaning out of him) was excellent. Even better when Berg abandoned all common sense, a very in-character decision, and left Hajime completely bewildered. I hope that girl from episode 5 isn't an orphan now thanks to Rui. |
