NOOOOOO TOTSAKA!!!!!!!!111111111

Even though he only had like 10 minutes of screentime he made my heart melt and weep at the same time. His song was very beautiful it just made it hurt even more since we know he dies.

When he died in Misaki's arms I cried bitch tears and I'm still sad about it.

Then the fact that no one remembers Isana is depressing to.

What going to happen next?

This was the best episode so far, hopefully the series can redeemed itself and half a good second half unlike Guilty Crown. But anyways great episode it was very emotional especially when Totsuka started to sing I did cry a little bit I must have the full version of that song. My question is who is Shiro, is he a happy boy or some crazed psycho path. And Neko was so weird in this episode I think she is hiding something from Shiro and Reisi.

O(>∇< )O Best episode so far.

I think Shiro's memory has been manipulated by Neko and maybe Shiro knew Neko before the manipulation as well.
Heartless woman was not so heartless after all and that we got to see a beautiful side of her was nice. ( ・ ∇<)
(ノД`)・゜・。 Sadly with Totsuka-san in the final scene..

So something's wrong with his memory and the "normal" people who supposed to have known him a long time...

Where did Neko's clothes go when she turned into a cat? Magic? Hammerspace? >_<

Seri should let her hair down more often... or just ALL THE TIME because damn she's looking good in this episode :D

The mystery around Shiro's backstory is turning out to be pretty interesting despite my initial negative assumptions. I still don't see the reason Neko is included in the show though; it appears that she's only there for fanservice, and oh wow, does that irk me. Not to mention her personality...... ugh....

hey everyone i just registered to talk about this episode... I love this anime and it was truly emotion packed! but one thing i don't agree on is everyone thinking people forgot about shiro. I disagree...
What i picked up on was that shiro isnt disappearing but he doesn't wherever he isn't present. That is why kukuri could not remember him if he wasn't around and that he is in no pictures. Infact the guy said you're one of my regular customers but he wasn't in any pictures. SO he remembered him because he was there. And i think this is all neko's doing. Neko is the one making everyone recognize him, which is why she is always around and it also explains why she said no cellphones because she cant make kukuri know him if he isn't around her.

The one thing that confuses me is that in the preview u can see that in the reflection as they are running, shiro's reflection on the window behind them isn't there... like he doesnt exist.
The only instance i can think of that goes against the theory above about people knowing shiro is when kukuri took Kuroh to shiro when she first met him in front of the school.

Overall, i think his memory has been messed with and he was the killer but he isnt the bad guy... tatara was TOO good not to be the bad guy... lol and also im pretty sure neko is messing with his memory and forcing people to think they know who he is which is why she is always around and also why he isn't in the list of school students. It just explains everything but how kukuri knew where shiro was when she first met kuroh.

let me know what you think!

haha you a a piont their..it all makes sense to me...its just all nekos doing lol

maybe kukuri remember yashiro because he was in the school.

Other theory:

Yashiro would be a physical illusion created by neko.
Or he is real, but neko have erased his existence and manipulate him

This might explain lot of things:
How yashiro could be go to school since crime place quickly and the hole in gymnasium roof (jumping building to building like a cat)
Why she dislike phone and yashiro forget his pda (she doesn't want yashiro discover the truth)
Why yashiro have no family and home
why he remember few event without be attend (same as night love declaration at school, where yashiro was not but neko yes)

NOTICE:



I think Mikoto did not get that piercing (OR earring as well) until after Tatara died. It could very well be Tatara's. Also, the way Tatara's voice echoes all over Mikoto's dreamland could mean his death is tearing at Mikoto more than we may think.

The earrings are symbolic. Or at least I'm quite positive that they are.

Such a thick friendship between the HOMRA. The killing of one of their clansman made them to hunt the Colorless King.
Next preview seem there will be a fight between the Blue King and Kurou.

Holy shit does she become beautiful with her hair down. Wow...

It was great to learn more about the guy who dies, and =/ no wonder everybody cared so much about him. He seems like he was a pretty cool and nice dude.

And Neko was just so cute in the preview.

Some weird shit is happening here, good backstory though but still doesn't explain why they forgot his existence nor why his house/phone doesn't exist, what's up with that did I miss a part or something like that?

Not an all to bad episode but also the question why Neko was scared of the phone?

Seri was hot this episode. Why can't she always have her hair down like that.

Best episode so far, The red king in his group make this show. Without them I would've dropped the show already.

The scene where Yata was crying was done really well. He had the most development in the show so far. He seemed like a thug when I first saw him but he's far from being one.

Anna was cute as always and Mikoto is a boss. I'm looking forward to him escaping and kicking some ass.

Man, what an episode. I don't really get all the K haters as a general rule, but after this episode I really think they are all clueless. I liked it very much, it enhanced the anime as a whole. I really get now why the Red gang is so pumped up about killing the Colourless king - Totsuka has been a great person, I like his character so much that I actually think about adding him as my fav. He indeed deserves to be avenged, to be honest. And the Colourless king is a bastard to kill not anybody else but him.

I also now like the Red gang, when I actually saw the picture from their point of view. It's kinda funny, but that was this kind of case - somebody tells you "they are the bad guys" and you are like "ok"... or at least until you get to know them and find out that the "bad guys" are just as human as the others are. It's all about the way you present the situation, isn't it?

Wahhh when Totsuka started singing I was crying. But on the roof with Yata, I started bawling like a baby. Seeing Yata like that was heartbreaking. T.T



AND THEN, the new ED he sings again! And I cry again! Damn it, why do they do this to me... If Yashiro turns to actually be the murderer, I hope Mikoto gets rid of him. Easily my favorite episode yet though. Anytime it's about HOMRA and the gang it's a good episode. Now if only those 3 would disappear.....

(also... whut? Seri is actually beautiful? O.o She should keep her hair down. And Neko has to be one of the most annoying things I've seen in a longggg time.)

R.I.P Totsuka..



I know some people may wonder why others are so sad about his death, well for me personally, I got attached to him in the manga for being so incredibly sweet and kind. Seeing him die like that in the anime was horrible.



With that endin song by his Seiyu Yki Kaji I was literally crying ,I am gonna miss him!!!

Another mindfuck episode. Totsuka has really nice singing, on top of that they made his song the ED. Shiro's memory must have been altered somehow. Or maybe time was altered? That would explain all the weird happenings.

Seems like Seri and Kusanagi have some history together.
It's cool how they showed Totsuka and Mikoto and the rest of HOMRA were so close to each other.

Looks like Shiro doesn't exist. And Kuro will be battling the Blue King himself.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Aw, this was a sad episode imo with flashbacks about Totsuka and Mikoto. Totsuka seemed to be the cute and kind type of guy, I really felt the scene with him in Yata's arms. And his song was cute. Ughh felt like crying.

Oh my god....feels...so many feels...Now I understand why they're so determined to get their hands on the colorless king...

Awesome episode. This episode (and hopefully what comes after) makes the questionable moments in the past episodes all worth it. What with Shiro being forgotten and not knowing himself, it seems way more likely that either he, or someone else, went through a lot of effort to erase himself. I'm sure he is actually the colorless king. Especially because the colorless king was humming, just like Shiro loves to do. And the whole being forgotten thing is reminding me of something Kukuri said in Episode 1, about feeling like if she looked away from Shiro he would just disappear...seems to me that that's quite literally what happens. Disappears from her memory anyway. I think that he will disappear from the memories of people who don't have abilities. I'm not really sure why he or someone else would "erase" him in that way, but that's what it seems to me.

BUT HOLD UP. Totsuka was only shot a week ago in the anime? I thought it was several months...

Anyway back to the feels...Totsuka was such a lovely person, he seemed so gentle and sweet...and his death was so sad TTT~TTT Yata crying really got me...

I'm going to quit spamming comments on each episode and just comment when I finish the series.

P.S. The ending was perfect

EDIT: The problem with the whole "Shiro being he Colorless King" theory is that Kukuri says she saw him that day within an hour of the crime. BUT, who's to say that wasn't a fake memory? No one else remembered him that day. And it would make sense for his student PDA thing too. Instead of having lost it a long time ago, he probably never had one in the first place.

The Totsuka guy seemed like a really nice guy, pretty sad he was murdered
