Hirugiko said: @shiro_kai I mean him, not necessarily the studio https://myanimelist.net/people/11423/Takahiro Would you mean Akame and Yuuki Yuusha then? None of them have drugged and forced into sex slave girls as part of the plot. I see something like that as part of the plot as something a little more surprising, especialy when you are expecting cgdct. |
| Honestly I don't care how this continues no matter what I HATE Mei's guts and hope she gets killed. I hope they don't do a continuation of the Goblin Slayer drama and make this series edgy all of a sudden. Plz plz no. Don't do it. I liked this series |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| So Mei was the traitor after all huh? While things have certainly gotten serious now I'm still holding on to my theory that there never was a traitor in the first place. To explain, there are numerous reasons. 1. Mei's reasons for her betrayal may seem weak but then again it's not uncommon for someone to switch sides when they've become dissatisfied with the group or organization they're originally working with when they want something more and to Mouryo that's more than enough reason. 2. Seeing that we didn't see Katrina, Bakkyo, and Hatsume actually die there's a good possibility they're still alive. Yuki may be in bad shape but she could have very likely overdosed on spyce to increase her chances of surviving that fatal blow. 3. If Mei is working as a double agent then this means the masters planned this entire thing without informing their apprentices about it and to make it convincing Yuki and Hatsume had to stage their apparent deaths with Mei playing the traitor to a tee. 4. Finally, why would Mei wait until now to send the entire information about the team when she's been with them for so long? And she sent it through her phone, not by some hidden computer. If she could have sent it that easily why didn't she do it sooner? If I'm Mouryo I want to finish my enemies as quickly as possible by whatever means necessary no matter how immoral they are. If Mei really is a traitor why would she wait this long to betray her team? So, assuming that my theory is correct it's going to be really interesting how the climax of this anime is going to go. If it ends with all of them surviving and clearing up all the misunderstandings I'm sure there's going to a lot of drama followed by some comedy of the apprentices getting revenge on their masters for what they put them through because they're not going to be happy with them when this is all over. |

| Wait what happened I was not prepared for this That was brutal and awesome This and episode 9 are great parallelisms I'm glad i've been defending this show from the first episode but i have 2 complaints 1.You have an interesting setup, do not fuck it up with some Mei double turn, it wouldn't make sense 2.Please make someone die :we know Hatsume isn't dead and i suppose Yuki isn't too, but at least let Katrina stay dead, add some tension to this story, you're doing well |

However, I still think that the whole plot is set up between all the masters but who knows maybe Mei betrayed them. In that case, the betrayal reasons are a joke, to be honest. |

I actually forgot about that part but then again that could have been part of the plan so that it wouldn't get Moryo suspicious if she was acting as a double agent. |

| Did anyone else notice that Mei drank a red gelatin? That's the one the blows you up. The green version erases memories. |
 |
| Well... Shit. This is probably the best episode of this entire show. Finally felt like things were actually going somewhere. Also, the people who think that some of these characters that CLEARLY looked like they died in this episode are actually alive, remember Takahiro wrote this. They are very much dead. |

Luthandorius said: My guess is Moryo are blackmailing her and keeping her master as hostage. (The other 2 current senior members had a master that got shown/screen time and the one of Mei only had been mentioned but Yuki didn't tell how she died/disappeared.) Didn't Yuki say last episode that Mei's mentor retired early due to injury because of Moryo or something |

Just looked the wiki: "Anime and Manga Differences: In the anime, the two survived and were shown helping distribute food between the Capital's citizens after the revolution. " See, not even the anime about death and unscrupulous acts had the courage to go that route. |
| I see why everyone would think Mai is a double agent. Actually it's more like people want her to be a double agent. I don't think that's the case. I believe she's a true traitor and we're going to have to endure through some rough scenes before this is all said and done. |
|
| Looks too easy , looks like she pulled a double double agent thing, which I would prefer full turn to the dark side on her part, we need good betrayals this season |

| I had been watching this anime distracted (never watched the new weekly episode the day it was released and even let pass more than two of them a couple of times) and just kept going with it because I wanted to know who the traitor was. The traitor thing seemed to have been somewhat left behind the last two episodes if I'm not wrong, so I just watched this one without thinking too much if the reveal was going to be given in it. Mei being the traitor hit me by surprise. Of course, now that it has been given, you can go, make some observations in previous episodes, give it some thought, and it does make sense. But I think it was made in a subtle way (the majority of people here and in reddit being surprised is a good sign) and this episode in particular has like tripled the little interest I had in the anime. It's the first time I'm really hoping to watch the next episode as soon as possible. This guy in made this brief but good analysis regarding Mei potentially being the traitor after only two episodes had aired: https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/9nw4bj/release_the_spyce_episode_2_discussion/e7pq3si/ Oh, and I think (or rather, I have faith in) that the "liking the chaos in the city" reason for her betrayal is actually a pretext. I hope it actually has to do with something along Mei's motivation for getting money (hopefully it isn't that she likes to waste it on whatever just because) or that the writer has some other plot twist for the remaining episodes. If this turned out to be actually dark with a good reason it'd be nice. Until now I regarded this as an average anime with likeable character art, but if they manage to close it well after this turn of events, I'll consider giving it a rewatch in order to pay more attention to stuff and hints that could have been considered trivial or just episodic on the surface. |
koja6049 said: momo licked mei before right? she could have detected any lies in the beginning of the series, just saying :D - Mei licked by Momo before the Betrayal rumors spread - This episode so fucked up - I already know what will happen on the next episode.... |

shiro_kai said: See, not even the anime about death and unscrupulous acts had the courage to go that route. Takahiro only did it to wrap up story in anime. If he had more episodes they would be dead. |

Well that and the posture in like the second episode when she dropped the note... But on another subject, who is using Fennel as a Spyce? And since when is fennel a spice? I mean you could use it as a spice, just like every other thing with a scent to it, but for me fennel is either a side dish or tea. It's like one of them is using salt (which would've been a good trait for the main villain)... |

I believe she's a true traitor and we're going to have to endure through some rough scenes before this is all said and done. Nah, this anime is greatest in the production value, but the story is somehow predictable and down to earth. Besides a double crossing double crosser is more in western animation than true anime. I guess there will be some reason and reasoning behind it all and there will be some tears over regret in the end. But still entertaining to watch and more deserving of a solid 7 rating, tho... Normally I'd agree. Except... The masters were keeping something secret from the students. If memory serves it was a secret member no one knew about. My money is on Momo's school friend saving her. Second, Mei drank the red gelatin. Red turns you into a living bomb. Green alters your memory. Mei is already dead.  |

| That was a great cliffhanger, I hop they teach Mei a lesson later on. Great episode. |

Except Hatsume was able to remove the effects of the gelatin from Theresia after she was captured at the beginning of episode 8. With that knowledge I wouldn't put it past the masters to see if they had developed a way to at least nullify the effects of the gelatin, otherwise Mei wouldn't have drank that gelatin as easily as she did. |

| Agree to disagree. Either way, we'll find out Saturday. |
|
| DAMN! That was heart breaking! and shocking! Mei was the...y'know GRRR! i wonder how everything this would play-out!?!? 5/5! |
 |
| Cmon, we all know these "plot-twists" will end up being completely worthless in the grand scheme of things. Everything is just a part of the plan and everyone will be saved in the end (maybe Yuki will die at the end because feels). I'd say that the odds are around 90/10 in favor of the "it was all a plan" continuation. |
Higurashi Gou is the worst anime in existence. |
| well yeah, i dont think this show gonna going dark, in the end it's all planned, either Mei already known as a traitor and the girls try to lure her out, or Mei just playing their plan as a traitor to lure moryo out. |
| I Think we can all agree on 2 things 1.This is the most talked episode about this show 2.Even if everything turns out to be a plan by Tsukikage, this episode Made us talk, Made us interested and Made us impatient for the next one |
| May our sweet and Merciful Madoka be with you |
| This is true. No matter what happens, I feel very satisfied by this show. SATURDAY HURRY UP! EDIT: HiDive updated their episode summery and title ahead of tomorrows episode. The episode is titled Operation Gekkako and well... It looks as though this might be a hard episode to watch, at least the first half. |

| sht I knew it...someone will really die in this series ;-; waduhek Mei!? arghhh hoping that Yuki is still not dead :< |
 |
| drop my rating by 1, the setup and execution not natural |

| Damn son, didn't totally expect Mei would be the traitor. Well, I was very clueless on who was the traitor and making Katrina as a traitor would be just a no-brainer. |
 |
| I already had a bad feeling things would turn out bad after showing both mentor and apprentice enjoying their time together. |
| That outcome surely was unexpected, but very entertaining to watch, being honest. Uhm, maybe I missed some hints but Mei being the traitor fells completely out of the blue... not to mention that her reasons are quite weak. So yeah, I guess I'll go for the "double agent" option here. But in the case she isn't a double agent and it's true that she only wants to see the world burn, I still don't believe the idea of her being completely on Moryo's side... you know what they say, who betrays once, betrays again... Overall, pretty enjoyable episode. I think Yuki is not dead yet but I wonder how they will explain how she survived from nearly being cut in two. The same for Hatsume. P.S.: Maybe I missed how she was defeated but for someone who can handle a whole criminal organization by her own, I was expecting something more from Goe. |
