| Had he started treating her differently after they had sex, I might have been open to the "maybe the did, maybe they didn't" ... but he treats her the same way he did when they met - a little girl, a little kid, and not as lovers. Nothing to show their relationship changed, and it would have, no matter how you spin it. So I just can't logically believe that he had sex with her X3 |

saxophone said: I hate the song with the moaning. Completely unnecessary for this show I think. I am excited for the next few episodes. I know it's going to have some great action/suspense...well at least I think it will. haha agreed that moaning bothers me whenever i watch it. Especially when my parents are near, i can't help but use my headphones watching this anime. you never know what's going to happen. Also with the subs: too much F*cks |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
| I thought the episode was average until the BGM for Cal came on and they had that discussion.. I like the series but im not sure how they can end it with a satisfying ending, I dislike Cal since her reason for pursuing Renji seems unbelievable stupid but shes a cool character at least (contradicting statements ftw) |
| Ok I'm starting to get frustrated that we're at episode 22 and we STILL aren't in the climax! I mean Noir MADLAX, .hack were all moving towards their climax at this point but we're still a low key going nowhere. And it's not the typical Mashimo taking his time and slowly building or allowing dramatic narrative of the animation and music, we're just killing time! The school setting like I said needs to be dropped. It was fine for two episodes but now we're just straying away from the plot here. And go figure it was your a-typical week cliff-hanger followed by a pointless beginning. This is so typical of most American live action dramas. I was ready to name this best anime of the year when it started in Spring but it's just getting progressively weaker now. With the two pointless clip episodes and this ever pointless high-school drama and Cal stewing how much she's pissed off at Zwei. If this keeps up much longer I may drop this down further, I took it down from 10 to 7, I'm fearing I could go as low as 5. Drei's theme sucks, and what the hell is with all that orgasmic moaning? I could understand a whaling chorus but MOANING? Seriously is Cal getting aroused by wanting to kill Zwei or something? |

| ....Indeed this series has been a pleasant surprise from the beginning, only getting better and better with each episode. Right now we're on track for an awesome final arc and climax. |
| whats with the moaning soung...? |
 |
| Okay. I'm really pissed because of Cal. For the first time, I'm allowing you, Reiji, to kill Cal. GO DO IT! I think Cal is just jealous because Reiji left her for another woman. Lololol She became Revy from Black Lagoon and the reason is jealousy, lmao. |

Lololol She became Revy from Black Lagoon and the reason is jealousy, lmao. lol i guess i not the only one who saw the comparsion, all tho to say she can even touch Revy is a insult to how awesome Revy is, Cal is a wannabe at most, but i do agree on the reason she is MAD jealous, i think all the proof anyone needs is when she was talking with Ein and Ein said she knows Reiji better than she does;her reaction proves it all. I hope in the end its Reiji who settles it with Cal because as nice as it is to see Ein finally protecting someone either than that stupid Scythe it needs to be Reiji who settles it with Cal for better or worse. |
 |
| Drei fails to listen to reason yet again. |
| bleh cal sucks as much as claudia young cal tho... love her ;( |
| Cal :'( please return to your lovely loli self. I really hate Scythe Master, really really. But, Reiji, I really despise you for doing this to Cal. |

| Why doesn't he just tell her he thought she died...? And Cal is such an idiot. |
 |
Why doesn't he just tell her he thought she died...? Because he is an idiot :/ |
 |
| This is getting interesting. |
 |
| Reji for fuck sake just man up and at least attempt a conversation with Cal and at least TRY and explain SOMETHING! Cal is starting to piss me off, she just comes across to me as a stroppy teen now.. I get it, Reji appeared to have abandoned her, but 2 years down the line.... seriously?! It's a long time to hold a grudge, maybe get some answers, but she's going to the extremes for me now... As for how this is going to pan out, I think either Cal or Cal & Elen but I don't even know any-more, hope SM dies too. |
| I don't like the new Cal. I do kinda like Lizzie again who tried to tell Cal. I am liking Mio though, I really hope she doesn't get involved in all this. she's as innocent as it gets, plus she seems to to be the only one that actually likes Reji lately. everyone else from Claudia to Erin to Cal has used him. |
 |
| Cal, return to your old self already. I'm not really liking her theme song(the one with the moaning). Reiji's starting to piss me off.. Does he not know how to talk? |

tsubasalover said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Before Reiji was going to shot Drei, Lizzie stopped them. Ein told Zwei to choose one between her and Drei. Eh, Mio, who likes Reiji, was related to a guy related to Phantom! We knew that Mio was the daughter of the Togo family, and the guy now is the brother of her father... Plus, we saw her in the new OP. Jeez, how come a 10 y-o looking loli metamorphoses into a Clo-remake, IE giant boobs and tight ass like she were 18y-o fully grown lol. I hate her now btw, not as much as Scythe though. 4/5 episode LadyOrihime said: Had he started treating her differently after they had sex, I might have been open to the "maybe the did, maybe they didn't" ... but he treats her the same way he did when they met - a little girl, a little kid, and not as lovers. Nothing to show their relationship changed, and it would have, no matter how you spin it. So I just can't logically believe that he had sex with her X3 Lol what Reiji fucked Cal ? This 10y-o loli? oO' it was inplied he was a big brother to her, if you're referring to the bathroom scene I don't think they did anything. Maybe I'm mistaking. |

Maybe I'm mistaking. She is 14 years old actually, two years below Reiji and one year younger than Ein. In the PC version of the VN you can get a sex scene here which is where this comes from. |

| Not much actually happens in this chapter. Cal really hates Zwei though. All that brotherly affection turned to hate. |

| Cal's really acting pretty over the top stupid, right now. It's kinda annoying. |
| Are you fucking kidding me....? This anime was about an 8, close to a 9 up until episode 20. Now it's a 7 because the characters are all acting stupid. Cal sure has abandonment issues doesn't she? Oh no he left me for another woman. Can't you think and see that he thought you were dead? Still Reiji was an idiot for thinking she died, he didn't even check to see if she was still alive. She knows Reiji was trying to protect her he pretty much lied to Inferno, kept them from knowing she stole the money and put his life on the line and she says he tried to protect himself? How did she even come to that conclusion? He could have just let Inferno kill her and things would be over. What a stupid so-called genius. Oh my fucking god she's so fucking stupid it's inconceivable, the writers are just fucking with me now, this makes me rage so hard. Everytime Reiji sees Cal now the only thing he seems to be able to say is her name. I fucking hate it when anime characters are like that. Speak up you idiot and tell her that you thought she was dead. Also, doesn't Reiji understand that Cal is out for revenge? Is he that hardheaded? Does he still think she's doing it because of Inferno? I hope not. Almost every issue in anime exists because there is a misunderstanding between the characters and they are too idiotic to conversate, they just jump to conclusions and cause unneeded drama. I sure hope this anime redeems itself in the last few episodes. At this point I'm hoping Scythe kills Ein, Zwei and Drei and just pisses over their dead bodies. Not really but stil.... Sigh.... Maybe I'm just nitpicking. |

| Loved the gun stand-off at the Church, Lizzie's intervention was awesome too. Reiji calling Shiga was great as well, we now have ourselves a hostage situation, while... on a date? FTW. About Reiji not talking straight up with Cal, well it IS irritating but, I guess even if Reiji explained himself to Cal she wouldn't care because she's too blinded by emotion and the "power" of her new-found lifestyle. Still though, that's no excuse to only repeat her name. Oh yeah, loved the beating she gave those fodder at the end LoL. |

This, she doesn't seem to have any sort of logic and is just twisting whatever Reiji says into something terrible. I can't believe some people are blaming Reiji for not being able to tell Cal the truth that he thought she was dead. I'm pretty sure Cal is dead set on thinking that he abandoned her and she will not listen or believe his explanations anyways. She really has gone crazy. She wants to torture him before she kills him? He doesn't deserve to be treated that way by her. He hasn't done anything damaging to her at least, even if he had lied to her, it was to protect her. She obviously doesn't agree, and believes that he only cares for himself. I don't fully agree with her on this, but if it he was selfish, who cares? She lives in the underworld now, doesn't she know how selfish people can be? What pisses me off the most is that she used to understand Reiji, but now she doesn't even try. She has the ability to be a rational person, but she no longer is. I think I just ranted on Cal for the last 6 episodes or so... |
Adamzo said: I hate Cal. I thought she was annoying when she was a kid, but after 2 years I really want her dead now. My feelings exactly. She is beyond annoying. I can't sympathize with her at all, and I really see her as an excuse for contrived drama and surprise lolicon, which I also hate. She really made my enjoyment level for this series go down a lot. |
| its so stupid, WHy reinji dont say, << i was sure you were dead!!!!>> jesus christ, he cant even say he wanted not abandon her, after the 9th episode i was at 9/10, but like every other people think, at the 10th episode, main characters started to think like retarded zombie, or even act(Reinji walking like a retarded behind scynthe who got a gun wait.....LOLOL) its so sad, this series had great potential, but because of some episodes, where MC characters are doing unrealistic things... the serie is getting down... p.s this girl is completly crazy..... |

| Cal really have got mad. I don't think Reiji can stop her from her madness, there is no going back, someone will have to die. But there is just one thing that bugs me and that can say that I'm wrong with my first statement. It's the fact that she kept the pocket watch Reiji gave her. It seem to have an important emotional signification. |

| okay Reiji didn't even try to reason with her...much less explain what really happened back then... fuck!... continue this ridiculousness and I might loose my sanity just like that bitch, Cal |
 |
| I can't stand Cal's personality as of right now, she is way too much butthurt when talking to others - in every word she said there was evident it was Scythe who she was repeating... he completely destroyed her ideals and dreams. But she was left alone, completely broken, she has all right act this way I guess. I just hope there is still some future for her. All that hatred instilled in her.. bastard, he really needs to die soon. As of music - yes, this series has some great soundtrack going in background, whoever was working on sound mixing did the great job. |
| I really dislike Cal... she's just not herself anymore... but well the story with her being like this is definitly progressing quite nicely so let's see what will happen in the next episode! |
 |
| It doesn't matter.. I feel your pain CAL. Shes was just a kid.. going through 2 years of what Reiji did you can imagine what it's like. I really hate this.. but this is what makes the story good. I just wished Reiji and Cal could have stayed together.. I enjoyed watching them living together the most. :'( |

Like 12 or something. Nobody should have to go through that at her age. I wish they could all stay together but I don't see anyone of them having a future after this. |
 |
| DAm I want them all to live Cal is badass now decent episode wonder how this is all going to play out I hate sycthe fucking dies |
 |
| Cal turned out into a bad girl huh? I thought she was like 12 years old when he found her, so now she must be 14-15, what a big change... I believe she grew up so much to take over Clau's place (in boobies matter...)...well, I kinda dislike it, I think it's stupid to do it all just coz Zwei went gone, and he thought she was dead... |
 |
| So Reiji doesn't even attempt to explain anything. Sweet jesus, I think all three are going to die. |
 |
| At this point, the series would really benefit by having Cal shut the hell up. Her hatred of Reiji is misplaced and completely ridiculous and completely contradicts all of her character development before the time jump. Someone needs to kill her already and be done with it. Oh, and please let someone kill Scythe before the series end. |
| Cal can't get anymore annoying than this. |
| My Anime List | |
| Cal is so annoying omg... Her reasons for wanting to kill Zwei so bad just doesn't feel real at all. And why doesn't Zwei just tell her he thought she was dead back there??? I hate when characters act stupid just for the progression of the story... |
 |
| Honestly... of all the comments regarding this episode, I truly have to agree with 'SatanicBeaver'. I was very into this series until I discovered that Reiji/Zwei was continuing as a assassin, not to get revenge, but just for something to do. He meets a child who makes him feel human again, only to turn her (maybe in more ways than one) into something he himself, supposedly hates. Oookaaay... Now there's an adult-looking pubescent (Cal/Drei) out for revenge because she thinks she got dumped. That's why little girls shouldn't shack up with or crawl into bed with grown men and develop hardcore crushes; they get delusional and twisted in the head. Didn't like her as a loli and I definitely don't like her 'wannabe' Revy (BL) persona. Ein/Eren's character, the original phantom, got dumped on in the second half of this series. She should have had a bigger impact after returning from the dead instead paying so much fanservice to a kid. Talk about lack of character development. At least Ein and Reiji as the phantom were more poised and could blend in anywhere, thus... the namesake. Cal clearly doesn't have that ability. At this point, they can take each other out and it wouldn't matter to me. I thoroughly enjoyed the first 19 episodes anyway. |
