| right at the beginning of the episode I was like "whoa" Shion's eyes are creepy... and the strap on Mion's top is barely hanging there o.O so it WAS Shion that was doing all the work. I had a feeling when the arc happened for the 1st time |
 |
| Wow so it was actually Shion. What a twist!!! Here I was the whole time thinking Mion was a freaking maniac. |
| The second arc makes sense now. It was sort of implied that it was Shion and not Mion in episode 8 since Mion was found dead in the well and not Shion but now the parts that didn't make sense like when Keiichi was talking to Shion on the phone about the village elder. P.S. it was a little lame that Shion killed everyone with a taser and not some kind of sharp or blunt weapon like everyone else XD |
 |
| Wow. Things are really starting to come together so nicely... I didn't suspect that it was Shion a few arcs ago. I just thought it was some twisty arc where Mion contracted a demon within her, that just totally changed her personality. But where's the motivation for that? Shion had the motivation - her love for the missing Satoshi, and her desire for vengeance on whom she believed were the culprits responsible for his disappearance. Genius. Now I feel like watching that whole arc over again - or at least the climax episode - just to see how it played out now knowing who the real killer was. Very good episode... Gotta keep watchin', lol... |
| omg everything is making sense, so in the end it was probably Shion that was going to torture Keiichi and the one that came from under the bed in hospital, she basically suffered her whole life and comes back and gets revenge, guess thats the story |
| Shion loves her taser doesn't she? |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
| haha shion reminded me of scarface after she tossed rika, I could just picture her line there being " you wanna play rough, say hello to my little friend (whips out taser)". |
| Shion's fuckin awesome!!! She's just kickin' everyone's asses!! |
 |
| Definitely some things are starting to make sense now... but there's some other stuff that I still would like to know. |
| OMG, everything's falling in place so beautifully (well, not really beautifully XD, but you know what I mean haha). The execution in this anime is excellent... It's gonna get a good score from me :D |
| The best episode until now ... Shion is going to be my favorite character in this anime |
| Wow Shion really got them. But this will probably end up biting her in the end. However, this is still hard to stop watching. |
LemonLyme said: Ah.... so it WAS Shion back in that other arc. Starting to make sense finally. She went crazy mode too ahah! |
| This was all Shion huh. That makes sense why she asked the question thenext day. It wasn't Mion. Man, Shion is evil. |
| Extraordinary what a devoted girl would do for a guy´s cock (mostly in anime), she wished to taste dat milk so much, she even became the demon. |
 |
| Shion is the mastermind of the second arc. Mion was the one in the cage. The real Mion was thrown inside the well. Shion did all the talking. Shion did all the killing. Shion did everything we taught Mion did. It was Shion. All for the sake of Satoshi. With the power of the taser, anything is possible! Poor grandma though. And poor Mion. |
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. |
| Shion was the one who fooled everyone huh. I must say that this episode stood for a lot of valuable information. Gave a pretty good feeling since we all now are a little bit closer to the "truth" behind everything that has been going on. Am I the only one who thinks Shion's feelings for Satoshi feels a bit forced? I mean, she did fall in love with him after what, a gentle tap with his palm on her forehead? |
| Someone better pick up that phone 'cause I FREAKING CALLED IT! Shion, you heartless b*tch! You involved Keiichi in all this mess in that arc!! Wow, just wow... And yes, seems like the curse is real because the elders didn't know anything... It's probably them who organize the sacrifices though. |
| So it was Shion, is it wrong that I am cheering Shion on in taking everyone out? And also it looks like these arcs aren't connected totally but are just alternate tellings. |
 |
| Woah, I didn't expect that twist xD It explain all that happened in the second arc. It still doesn't add up with the first arc and the third arc. Weirdly, I hated when it was Mion that was being a sadist, but when it's Shion, I don't really care xD That's so wrong... I still wonder what's the meaning of the scene at the beginning of the second arc, where Rika stab herself to death. Was she poisonned by Shion or what? Anyway, it will surely be explained in the next episode. I like how everything is tying up slowly. |

| shion is past freaky... she even whipped her dead grandma ffs |
| Yeah, that makes a little sense, and true, it was speculated after Episode 8, that it really was Shion. But wasn't there also said back then, that Shion fell to death from her balcony? So, both Mion and Shion would have been dead when Keiichi was in the hospital. And they also said, that Takano was already dead at the time, when they snuck into that shrine. So, all questions aren't answered yet... |
| Nice,finally something makes sense :) |
| Everything's making sense now... The pay-off in this series is gonna be pretty damn good. |

| The episode was good but I'm missing Rena, when are we gonna get her backstory? Oh and I want to take her home with me. |

| I like your theorys alot, but I have to spoil you for correction, so I will not do it . You will be surprised about the truth behind everything and how things are not that way they seemed to be. |
 |
| WOW! I HAD NO IDEA THAT WAS SHION WHO DID ALL THAT! I thought for sure it was Mion who was the demon! WHAT A TWIST! Shion is now slowly picking off all those who oppose Satoshi. Those footsteps Shion keeps hearing are definitely foreshadowing something that's going to occur at the end of the arc. So it was Shion who killed the headmaster! She was sure oozing with bloodlust. Some of those faces Shion made looked so scary that they were actually kinda funny. Wow that granny sure looked fucking terrifying after being whipped by Shion a bunch of times. This arc has been very Death Note-esque. Shion is like the Light of this arc. She's really trying her hardest not to get her cover blown! This anime is fucking great. My favorite episode thus far! It's beginning to get really intense! 5/5 |

| My only sane character... gone :( |
| Wow, what an amazing episode. While I thought Shion might end up impersonating Mion I had no idea that this was actually connected to the second arc. Her turning out to be the demon from that arc was an amazing twist. It definitely makes episode 8 make a heck of a lot more sense. Also I was rooting for Shion this entire episode, screw evil granny and Mion. They both kinda deserve what they get at this point. Shion is definitely my favorite character now, just watching her this episode was so much fun. I'm really hoping we get to see her kill Satoko and Rika next ep. |

| So that's why "Mion" seemed to flip a lot in the second arc as it was Shion all along. If you go back and watch from half way through episode 6 to 8 they make a lot more sense now. The scene at night when "Mion" was shaking the ladder and the scene at school asking about what happened last night whilst acting really shifty all of these moments and more it was Shion all along. |

| PLOT TWIST love it! |
| It's an easy guess that the crazy one is shion all along. her words during episode 8 really gave it away. Initially I thought it could be sub translation error on their names lol. Come to think of it, shion has a screw lose even BEFORE everything happens. I mean that scene where she got saved by satoshi, she almost pulled out her taser before satoshi appeared. Which girl in the right mind carries a taser around wherever she goes |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| I love seeing all the holes and info this is filling in from back in the second arc. Good episode, I also didn't expect that it was Shion all that time ago |
Benphyre said: It's an easy guess that the crazy one is shion all along. her words during episode 8 really gave it away. Initially I thought it could be sub translation error on their names lol. I also thought about that too but I overlooked it since I was convinced that the demon has taken over "Mion" and she was referring to the human "Mion" in that particular episode. Anyways, great revelation. Makes more sense now. |

| I'm still confused but its all slowly starting to make sense now... |
| makes so much sense now, at first i thought that there was mion and shion and a demon that looks like them lol |
| Sasuke or Kaneki I can't decide |
| Im with Shion 100%, go torture them, kill them, all of them freakin liar family!!!! they had this coming Go go Shion, i wish you all the luck in your revenge |
 |
| wow the way they introduce arcs which explain and give you a different perspective on the story is truly amazing lovee it omga shion bae i didnt know you were the one behind all this shes going a long way for satoshii |
| The 'main narrative' is now finally showing some good structure. But how can so many people think it's all making sense. Right now I can accept where we last left off which was Keiichi being tortured with nails at the hospital after the ordeal going down into the dungeons. ... Still doesn't explain him: 1) Beating up Mion or Shion and Rena to a pulp in his house, and then clawing his neck in the phone box. 2) Being pushed off the bridge and being the sole survivor of the volcanic gas eruption. If it weren't for the 'anything goes' with keiichi then the story would've been great. I'm hoping they cover this before the season 1 ends. There is a theme of 'deja vu' that keeps popping up and the recurrent nightmare and waking up sequences. Unless... like Rena, Keiichi was plagued with the Oyashiro curse and unknowingly had lifted it off himself hence all that crap that the poor lad was suffering. |
| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| Oh, Shion is good, nope, Shion is bad, nope, Shion is good, no, Shion is evil :( |
