that bodyguard dude was pretty awesome this episode; and we finally find out what happened to satoshi.
what i find amazing is that a group of kids is just pwning a group of highly trained adults, reminds me of the home alone movies

That has to be the most incompetent army I have ever seen... Hanyu and Keiichi over the radios was great. As was Kasai with the shotgun. Don't really want this to end;;

Kasai rawk !! Man, he kicked those yamainu ass easily.

Looked exactly like Home Alone. But I wonder where is the violence gone? Log rolled over soldier and pulled him down but it does not seems like log broke soldier's bones. Strange? Indeed. And soldier were scared of radio transmission? I must admit that Home Alone makes more sense.

Also Shion is selfish bitch.I doubt that Satoko and other will easily forgive that Shion was allowed to secretly visit Satoshi.

Hanyuu's God voice <3 =D

I'm a bit disappointed that not even the bad guys are dying, I'd slaughter every single one of the opposition if I where them.
But as several have pointed out I guess the "no violece" approach is something they've learned to use after all previous failures.
And perhaps they are afraid it will affect them badly in the end, with the virus and all.

Though my overall answer to that is:

At first I thought they were breaking into the underground research facility to rescue Satoshi. It's kind of lame that they left him behind in the end. Oh well.

Satoshi is alive, should've figured it out ^^
Besides that Kasai is probably the badass of the episode (and of course Hanyuu xD)
Sad that the next is gonna be the last episode, but well I can still watch Rei ^^
I probably regret this post by now.

She would try to seduce Tomitake.

Kasai is bad ass.

Poor Shion.. she might never be able to be around Satoshi.

Yay.. Tomitake is safe.

Hanyuu scared the hell out of that guy. xD

Those Yamainu-guys are unrealistically stupid for trained professionals. >.>
Especially the ones that fell for the War-of-the-Worlds-thing.

Also, this episode really reminded me of Home Alone, with all the traps.

omg this arc is by far the best one there is. I like gore, but there is more to it than that.
Tomitake, Akasaka, and Teppei = BADASSES
Satoko's traps = EPIC
So far no one has died yet, and it looks like the Yamainu is giving up. As long as there's not another random plot twists, everything should work out this time.

On to the final episode. This better be good.
I hope that anti-tank weapon misses :D

I agree! Being the Jack Bauer obsessed chick I am, I was like, "LOLLLLL KASAI!" Seriously, I kept picturing Jack Bauer saying, "Turn off the alarm unless you want to die. TURN OFF THE ALARM!!"

OMG. Is there seriously only one more episode of this? I can't believe it. I was actually surprised the episode ended when it did. I was like, "What? Ending credits already? Isn't it early?!" XDDD

I'm kind of annoyed at the whole leaving Satoshi there thing for recovery... that scene was sad and really dramatic, but I felt it lasted a little longer than what was really needed, eh.

And finally, AKASAKAAAAAAAAAAA!! Don't you die on me after the last, epic episode in all of Kai! DAMN IT!!

Last episode next, it was great while it lasted, wonder why no gore or blood shedding occurred but in season 1 it was like it happens right around the corner.

Guess they grew tired of using massive amounts of red coloring all the time xD

Amazing! I really loved Okonogi at the end, and we really got to see Takano in a desperate state too, it made me laugh hehe.

I'm so sad the next episode is the last!!!

I did shed a few tears when Shion saw Satoshii... so sad, so sad.

I kinda feel happy that noone had to be killed.. I said it in a previous thread but here goes again, if anything this anime taught us that murder is not the answer... Good thing that the characters stick to that belief :)

Also, why did they have to take the road ??! I hope they got a plan..

Yea it's quite unlikely that professional killers would fall for that, but then again you can't expect kids to overtake them any other way.
Unless you're talking about the killer lolis, but that would make 2 seasons go to waste...
