| The moment they showed Tamaki getting the kids it was obvious it's Rekka Rekka was completely insane tho wth, poor Tamaki And ofc Shinra sets up new flags lol But of course its not over yet.. Rekka couldn't be beaten so easily and there's still Takkun too Btw already calling Shinra asking Tamaki for her number (for Juggernaut) which ends up in a new flag too |

Probably symptomatic of some of the recurring problems with this show, but the mystery in this episode had no contingency , no room to breathe. It was a bandying of riddle to revelation without a point to look over the evidence and come to conclusions. Not a mystery Anime but I'm sure that's doesn't excuse much.  |

Pakumen- said: I mean is pretty obvious that the guys from the 1st are not really bad, and that Pilot Light is a cure to make people transform into "Level 4/Gen4" users instead of Infernals, and maybe a process like that was made years before, thus the third generation of users seems to be most likely on their teens or early 20's, but it did not work as planned. |
 |
| Okay so first off, Shinra stomping on Rekka was in fact super satisfying. That said this was an absolute mess. There's no mystery here. The show gave us some suspects, said "who did it" and then blatantly told us who it was. Not to mention the evil scene dragged on a bit too long. The point was made when Rekka killed off the old lady and knocked Tamaki out. Everything past that was just "ooh I'm evil. Look at me be evil" and it was grating. And then there's the non existent pacing. |
| Tamaki is the definition of a useless character, nothing but a damsel in distress, used in this series only as a tool for fanservice and for other characters growth. Will probably also be part of Shinra's harem starting next episode. |
 |
| Rekka is completely nuts! At least Shinra coming in at the end was cool. |
 |
| Perfect adaption of the manga, seeing Tamaki get beat in animation hurt 10000x more . Episode was well paced and went by super quick, can’t wait to see the later arcs animated man |
 |
| So that's a quick way to say wtf. Idk man, this show isn't terrible but it does make you question how the arrangement goes in the series. I picked up the manga to sorta compare and contrast week by week. It's a nice show with great entertainment value but it feels like it's missing like something to keep the flow going. Also...wasn't this series supposed to get like some super long run like 40+ eps or something like that? We're stopping at 24 now? |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| That Tamaki scene tho |
| Naww, Tamaki gif is *=* Thank you, kind Sir or Ma'am!@WarDest3ny Daniel_Naumov said: But no some just could not not invoke my... attention. IwibeYodema said: Poor Tamaki. It kinda annoyed me that she didn't attempt to fight Rekka and had to be saved by the glorious hero Shinra... Also none of the kids ran away while Rekka was occupied with kicking her. Whatever. I guess this could be because of how strong he is and how scared (kids) and emotionally scarred (Tamaki) they were. You got the second part right. You might have also noticed that when wRekka? was "hugging" her, she lost consciousness and probably suffocated for some seconds there. Combined with mentioned mental scar from this revelation, as a normal (however hard for me it is to say) girl she would not have had the strength to fight back. Mentally maybe, she did exert enough willpower to send a signal, but physically he had her. Tamaki receives Backstab. No Guard active. Super-effective. Hah, wRekka. lol. I acknowledged that in my comment. Doesn't mean I have to like the outcome. But alright, let me clarify a few things. I do not see her as a normal girl. She is a damn fire soldier! She is a 3rd gen, she is trained in the 1st where the power is concentrated. She is supposed to be as powerful as Shinra. Maybe she could have fueled her power with the negative emotions she was feeling. She could at least have attempted to fight him, while telling the children to run away or surprise him, when he was not looking. She trained with him, so she knew she could not defeat him on her own, so it was smart to call for help. But lying there and letting herself kicked by him over and over again? ... I could barely watch this scene because I screamed at her internally to DO something. As she called for help, I waited for her to attack Rekka to buy time for the help to arrive. I know where you come from but... I'm just annoyed that she is another walking damsel in distress and an empty husk to concentrate the fanservice on. And don't get me started on the forced hero rescue. Sure, he is the only one in the area. Like...tf? Why not inform someone like ... dunno, Captain Burns? Someone other than ice-sound-lieutanant? Why split up? Why not rally up the most members from 1st possible? Why rush this so much? *sigh* I guess the MC just needs to be the most powerful out of his peers and constantly rescue 'helpless' girls. I don't hate tropes. Don't mind them much most of the time. But this show makes it feel so awkward and clumsy. |

But this show makes it feel so awkward and clumsy. I mean, if Shinra did not rush into it straight away there would be no saving Tamaki. He was the only one who could help her, and he did so. Do you see fault in this? I meant the chain of events - find out it has to do with insects / see it happen during an emergency - find out it has to be a lieutenant - immediately trust the lieutenant you suspect the most and believe it's not him - go out alone to take the culprit down instead of informing any authoritys or friends whatsoever - finding the culprit commiting a crime - defeating the culprit and rescueing the surviving victims. It just was unnecessarily rushed in my opinion. Sorry if it came across the wrong way, I still have to work on my phrasing^^' |

| Didn't expect Rekka to be the culprit of the mystery. Poor Tamaki though; I'm guessing she'll like Shinra more now. That kick at the end felt so satisfying lmao |

MonkeyDJasper said: why would they tell the captain ? First it’s a secret mission , 2nd how do they know he’s not in on it also ? Those 3 are enough to take down Rekka they don’t need to inform burns . It’s a covert mission for a reason ... this complain doesn’t even make sense . But the covet-part of their mission is not affected by telling Burns what they saw, is it? It was not affected by talking to that lieutenant either. Or is the lieutenant suddenly part of their mission? And if Burns was in on that matter, why would he act like he was? If Rekka just was his goon all along he'd surely dispose of him gladly so that there is no evidence of him being involved. Also from what I have seen the 3 split up, so... I suppose one alone is sufficent to defeat Rekka? I do not know the source material, maybe you have more insight than me. Also you might notice that them not telling the authorities was not really my main complaint here. I was stating that I felt that the whole process felt rushed. But I digress. A small reminder that I am just stating my perception of things, opinion, feelings or 'complain' whatever you want to call it. Maybe it doesn't make sense. I do not mean to offend anybody. Have a nice day c: |

| Imo this episode had kinda low-quality animation. In this episode happened much.Rekka is truly freaky... xD |
| Can we, like, never ever make Tamaki cry again? It hurts my soul. Poor kitten. |
| Shinra knows how to enter like a hero. This episode was good. Can't wait to see the next episode. |
 |
| The amount of whining in this thread is staggering. |

Hibana's love is treated as a running joke, and Tamaki is still up in the air even in the latest parts of the manga. He doesn't have a harem. |

| yo shira just drop a leap of faith / jashin-chan drop kick. oh boi the mc power level seem really high from the beginning, i dont like the mc can solve everything by himself. |

| Well more into the Infernal thing, this ep is just too dope |
| The episode started off good with some fan service, but it kind of ran of the rails from the middle to end of the episode. I wish the series would just take some time to explain what is going on instead of letting everything happen at once. So now we have two types of infernals, the insect type and the natural type. |
 |
| Didn't expect this show to reveal something as important just right after the investigation began. But however it ain't a bad thing, I admit this insect transforming people in Infernals. Nevertheless the current culprit is probably just a puppet or a independant member of something much bigger. |
 |
| That kick tho, i always love shinra expression |
| Woooow, he is insane! I kinda had a feeling it was actually Rekka who was the culprit and not Karim after seeing them both in the alley. Shinra is so fucking cool, the way he came busting through the roof and decimated Rekka! To be fair though, i think Tamaki could've done a bit more to fight back herself though! I'm not too keen on her at the moment... |
 |
| Damn, those final few moments of the episode was lit! Shinra sure knows how to make a heroic entrance and that stomp on the face, plus the incredible background animation and cool soundtrack, was very much appreciated. Rekka unveils his true colours and god they were despicable as you’d imagine. Expected Tamaki to do a little more though but I suppose the mental pressure was far too overwhelming, poor girl. Seeing those tears and mixed expressions was so brilliantly done, great stuff! Aside from that however, the episode was a mixed bag in all honesty. I found it really astonishing how Shinra and Arthur believed Karim there for instance, pretty much all he said seemed like a convenient padding on the previous event more so Thank anything else. Also, the culprit should really take more caution, it seemed a little shocking how open he seemed. I don’t think blaming Tamaki, as he first intended to, like that would’ve really done the trick, especially more so if he were to still continue on his mission. Interesting how insects are a cause of these man-made infernals I’ve to say, I wonder if we’ll be getting a scientific explanation on this later on. Also, poor kid, I wonder what happened with him. Don’t tell me that’s how these fire-wielding soldiers attain their abilities. Anyway, on a lighter note, the comedy scenes of the episode was fairly bland though. Hoping that gets better from next episode onwards! |

| again they threw the tension building through the window these expository dialogues between shinra and arthur could easily be cut by 80%, and what really surprises me is how easily they believed in Karim, but oh well, apparently they took the easy route, I hope there's something else behind this investigation... poor tamaki, besides being exploited as mere fanservice-delivery she is still the psychotic villain's punching bag who is only there to be obliterated at the last moment by the great hero... my girl deserves so much more |
Gourmetforce said: SouthRzVa said: Well, I guess the mystery of who was the person who was creating Infernals (in this district at least) was solved... in the most rushed and laziest way possible if I must add but whatever. By the way, if Hibana wasn't enough, now we have another annoying "villain" who can't keep his mouth shut. Seriously, they made the same damn mistake again. I mean, making a character's personality so over the top would only end up in me taking him/her as a joke rather than someone relevant for the plot. And on a side note, I don't really care if Tamaki is used as an excuse to justify poor fanservice but man, the decision of putting her in the role of "damsel in distress" was simply awful. Wasn't she a really skillful fire user and stuff?... Honestly, I was expecting something better from her character and the situation she was in but well. Shinra's entrance was quite badass tho, not gonna lie there. At least, that scene was somewhat impressive... Anyways, in terms of pacing and directing, this was another terrible episode. It makes sense that tamaki is a damsel in distress except for the mental issue there is because she admired that dude there is no way she can beat him rekka is not an average firefighter he is a lieutenant realistically speaking that would be the only make sense progression for her at this point to be a damsel in distress. I know she probably wouldn't be a threat to him but come on, the guy just set a kid on fire and was about to do the same with the remaining ones. At least, she should have done something. I mean, this is simply my opinion but if I were a fire user as her, I know I would at least, try to gain some time. And not to mention also that doing something in a situation with low possibilities of success would be really fitting for this show, considering it's a shounen after all. But of course, in the end it's just matter of preferences. |
| A guy was talking in a public phone about the infernalization. Hibana talked with Obi about her research, sharing that artificial created infernals have an insect structure in their core. The alarm sounded in the first company, Shinra and Arthur accompanied them, Shinra observed a guy in a street that someone transformed into an infernal due to the use of an insect, Shinra tried to follow him through the alley and ended encountering with Karim and Rekka; Tamaki informed that the situation got controlled and it finished. In the base, Shinra and Arthur entered to Karim’s room and found an insect in a drawer, suddenly Karim entered and told them that he found that insect in another incident and that he suspects about Rekka. Tamaki invited some kids to a ceremony with Rekka at the same time that Shinra started to look for him, Rekka knocked Tamaki out and revealed the insects, transforming people into infernals and defeating them, Shinra noticed it (due to Tamaki’s fire) and arrived, kicking Rekka in the face. The episode was average, when the show was introducing a mystery to be solved, it’s solved in the same episode in a kind of ridiculous way, Karim’s personality is interesting, but I still doesn’t understand Rekka, he acts like comedic and strange, it’s like he benefits something blindly, and I consider stupid from Tamaki not to notice something, at least, some small strange attitude, just something. |

| Rekka truly is twisted |
