Shakugan no Shana III (Final) Episode 2 Discussion

That's because he's possessed by the leader(or something) of the Bal Masque.
In other words, he's a vessel and Yuji himself is being suppressed by that leader.

Why does that faggot have such a deep voice? It doesn't fit him at all.
I forgot how much of a copy of DBZ this show was. All the stupid staring and laughing and grinning. It's all there.

.............................................
For some reason, I'm getting tired of people freaking out and realizing Yuuji is the antagonist now........
That aside, this episode really does get the things moving full throttle forward.
Pop Quiz: F/SN Gilgamesh vs Current Yuuji, who wins xD

Is ironic what you said, he was a vessel since the first episode of season 1, lol.

SiegfriedCalibur said:

And where did you see that?
BTW, It seems, you don't remember the 1 Episode at all.
Yuuji himself offered his body to that Leader. The Contract.

Wuppie said:

I do remember that part of the first episode but I just don’t understand why Yuji would offer himself to that leader? I thought something might have happened behind the scenes, something what made Yuji sacrifice himself. Just because he made the contract himself, doesn’t mean he wasn’t pushed by another event, it could have been that he was forced by that event, to make his descision: which makes his own opinion supressed.
That’s how I think of it though, the episode might/will prove me wrong.. It’s just a theory.

Knowing Gil, he would probably be able to kick Yuuji's a**, only to get himself killed by way of his extreme arrogance.

Looks like next episode is going to be fucking epic.
Is it me or is this seasons so far oddly hypnotic?
Also, I love how they aren't showing Kazumi. Thank god

batossai said:um....is it just me or did this episode add nothing new to the previous episode?

Slicer22 said:
Its oddly hypnotic because it seems they are finaly following the light novels properly which makes it a thousand times better. Though it has caused it to be damn confusing suddenly throwing some people in since they ignored stuff from the novels for the first 2 seasons in exchange for shitty anime orginal episodes and endings.
I think this last season is meant to stay completely faithful to the novels so we should be in for a good ride.
JC staff should learn to follow the fucking source material properly all the way through, that would make all of their adaptations alot better.
Their best adaptations are probably Toradora and To aru majutsu no index but they slightly changed the things in the Toradora anime and left out/switched a few things in To aru majutsu no index anime. The novels of both of them beat the the crap out of JC staff adaptations though.

Wait, he changed his hair again?

Wolfnagi said:
You mean in terms of manga or Light Novel?
Cause there are lots of JC's adaption that is quite good, granted it is based on manga.
Light Novel-wise, To Aru is a bit disappointing but nevertheless quite good.
Toradora!, on the other hand, is extremely perfect. Sure, they make a few filler and left a few information out but heck, JC's adaption of Toradora! ending was definitely better than the LN original ending~!
So I have feelings that they gonna totally make this season of SnS the most epic of all the seasons.

Sigh, I give up on SNS.

I mean both manga and light novel they have probably more manga adaptations that are better but they mess those others as well by going off the source material with their own anime original characters and stories just like recently with Yumekui Merry (Dream Eater Merry) that just turnt into a mess. Another recent one was Hidan no Aria that was another bad adaptation.
Yes i liked To aru majutsu no index adaptation as well it is best to maraton for the most enjoyment but they still could of done better on it.
I did love the adaptation they did for Toradora as well but i still like the novel better and on the last novel they adapted they did miss quite a few bits and pieces. The very end i would still probably say i prefered the novel since Taiga came back sooner i thought the gap was a bit long in the anime but i like the extra wrap up they did on other characters in the end of the anime. So with Toradora anime and novel i think both are good in their own ways, the anime also seems a bit heavier on comedy and the novel heavier on the romance side not to say the anime did not do the romance well they did, so you are right the novel and anime do complement each other nicely.
Its just they can be so iffy with their adaptations sometimes which is normaly when they go off the source material but when they stick to it most the time they can do it right.
With the last season of Shana they should stick to the novel properly but i cant help feeling it might be rushed because i think they finished season 2 at novel 14 or something and there are 22 novels novels and 3 side novels i think. They have around 8 novels left to cover and these are ones at a big turning point with many new characters and big things happening, they also left out infomation and other things in the previous 2 seasons so i am a bit worried they will be rushed.

Firstly, we are talking bout JC Staff.
They might be toying with the series first in order to milk of the franchise, as you know it. But for some reason, JC usually mess up LN's adaption while manga adaption like Nodame, Bakuman, etc. is quite good, if not awesome.
Secondly, HnA is quite good! I don't care whether people say it is bad or what, it is good on my list. Thought, Yumekui Merry did sucks.
Third, Toradora! ending is quite YMMV to few people. I, personally dislike Taiga returning earlier than the anime, in which the drama was left hanging quite a bit while the anime wrapped up the series perfectly (together with additional costume, which is cute!)
Finally, trying to cover 8 novel in 24 episode shows aren't that hard, unless they put some useless fillers like usual. For every three episodes, they can actually cover 1 novel, which gives them enough time and if that doesn't works, they can make a finale movie.
All in all, just put a little faith on JC and hope for the best.

Shana's power seems lame to me, using fire to take a form of an arm? Mmm, where's your sword, Shana? ;3; It was way better!

Slicer22 said:
Sometimes i think they grab at series to quickly and start to animate things before there is enough material. I have not watched Nodame or Bakuman or read either but i have been meaning to watch Nodame for a while now.
If you think the anime for HnA is good you really should read the novel on baka-tsuki it is alot better. Yumekui Merry they really should of stuck to the manga.
With Toradora i think it is nice that the anime and the novel are slightly different gives you 2 types to watch/read.
Well you can cover 8 novels in a 24 episode season but i still think it might be rushed. In the first season of to aru majutsu no index they spent the first 6 episodes on the first novel so it all depends on how much detail and how close they want to follow the novel. They also made a mistake though of cutting out a big chunk of the 2nd novel with Aureolus Izzard to reduce it to 3 episodes that whole arc should of been darker and thrown Touma deeper into the new world.
Its hard to trust JC they have not been so good recently Kamisama memo was only really good in the start and end as well it got weak in the middle.

I don't understand why Yuuji is the antagonist all of a sudden.
