| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, this series never seem to let me down, Saten is pretty good with his skills^^ I think if he showed up a lot earlier in the battle, Adam and his friends would have a much lower chance of winning. Aruka actually comes into my mind the moment the girl with a mask pops up, and for Eve her clothing at the end actually reminds me of Moka XD |

| *waiting for subs* ~_~' |
| dam.. yay for new op and ed tho lolz |
| Another great ep! This time with sketchy graphics. I doubt they will ever leave that shelter. Hope this wasn't the last we seen the pretty girl squad! ps: avatar in the morning |
| Once again another good episode, this show never fails to deliver IMO. Can't wait till next week. Although the crappsy animations throughout the episode were annoying I can cope with it seeing how I like this show so much. Also Panty Shots FTW~  Also Who doesn't love bible references?   Good times, Goooooood Tiiiiiiimes. |

| Fourth Strongest is Cruz's sister... The green hair and yellow eyes same as his sister. So I'm thinking that. |
| Wow... that was some QUALITY animation. |
Confucius say man who stand on toilet is high on pot. |
| What kind of cliffhanger is that o_o! |
     |
| I'm wondering about Saten fragment, I have some theorie about it. 1-He have the zero fragment like Blade and Adam, he's just not using ability Blade and co know so that they don't notice it 2-He manipulate the wind and use the cannon-like thing on his arm to produce heat or cold. Doing so he can use wind, freeze and burn things by using wind to transport the heat or cold where he want. Wind is also a force so if you use it correctly you can dispel anything. It would also explain why Blade's shirt broke when he used the fourth wall because he don't have any heat to create the fire for the attack since it is not a fragment but come from a machine, only the wind who broke his shirt would have appeared. I think it's more likely the #2 but well who know ._. Since the first time the fourth strongest was mentionned, with Cruz's sister in the op it was obvious that the fourth was his sister. It became even more obvious with the new op and this lattest episode. |
 |
| Good episode! I LOVE NEEDLESS! But wtf happened to the animation during some parts? LoL. One of their people get sick and they had to use a sub? Well can't wait to see Saten's fragment. |
| Dang This Was Epic Wonder what Saten's Fragment Really Is |

| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Awesome ep as always, the fights are getting really nice, and they managed to "spoil" next ep by themselves for those who haven't managed to figure it out yet :P About Saten's fragment, I'm thinking about the hint that blade gave when he tried to use it. He did call it karma, which might be the name of the fragment, the abilities it posses I can only speculate but considering the name it might be something like absorption and then retaliation, you know what goes around comes around :P But hopefully we get to see it next ep. also Pantyshots are a different matter entirely. |

I wish them to keep up the good work and to avoid that lame animation more. :D |
_Aigis_ said: I was thinking something similar, but maxime1007's theory might be closer to the truth. But neither of these explain what Cruz said, that Saten has to use all his powers and possibly in a sequenceCouldn't Saten's Fragment be Temperature? cuz he was able to freeze and burn which are on both ends of temperature measurement and if u mix hot and cold air a certain way you can make wind. |
| Awesome episode was awesome. Nice to see how someones fragment isn't completely obvious for once and the thinking involved isn't incredibly simple that anyone could figure it out. Can't wait till next episode. Also animation was lolzy and all over the place. Definitely not in a bad way. |

    Once again, feel free to use these if you want |
| I just knew yamada's sis is a bad guy. Or so I think. |
Tosi ystävyys ei jäädy pakkasella! Thank you for your visit. Welcome again! |
| Here are my theories about Saten's fragment: 1. Saten is actually four people 2. Everything was just a dream. 3. Saten is the second. I'm going for #3 how about u guys? XD Actually I always assumed he was a zero fragment since he looks so much like the 2 adams... oh well. Anyway, this series is kicking some ass. Hopefully it will run past this season. And remember guys, panty shots are another matter entirely. |
 |
| I don't really think Saten's fragment is that amazing: - Disc said there is nothing abnormal about his fragment. So he shouldn't has more than one fragment. - Cruz mention that he can't used the same ability repeatedly. - At the beginning he said about he can use others people DNA. - What we have seen so far is he only use his ability with those machines on his hands. Now the deal is: - He needs DNA. - He needs those machine on his hands. - He can't use the same ability repeatedly. You should believed that Blade is actually memorized Saten's fragment but can NOT activate it or rather doesn't know the effect of the fragment. I guess the only way to get out of this is... Saten's fragment is something like empower other people fragment while the machines on his hands hold the DNA/fragment ability. @Kvakond: that is a kickass ava. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| It would be something if Matthew 5:30 was actually it. I wonder is that fourth strongest wearing any underwear.... Saten's fragment is quite puzzling indeed. |
| lol, Saten's ability would be similar to retribution (i.e. absorp, release, absorb, release, etc...) Of course, he stores the energy in the two limiter attached to his wrists. Other than that, Yamada's sister (or look-alike) finally revealed.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Yeah, sketchy animation. |
Alexstratz said: Yeah, sketchy animation. Oh yeah I totaly had forgotten about this, this was lulz xD |
|
| I'm still confused about his attack name. sounds like he's saying "dying halo" since thats what fansub thought it was in ep 1. but I guess it could just be a japanese phrase for fourth wave? or maybe a crazy japanese accented fourth wave? XD |
| I already knew that fourth strongest is Cruz's sister since there's a small hint of her in episode nine. I am more interested in her reason to be fourth. I am looking forward to Saten's fragment and Cruz's sister's fragment as well. |
| I think we can safely rule out Saten being another Second clone, since the way I understand how the Needless world works is that each fragment is unique and Saten has used fire in a completely different way to Teruyama's fire which would rule out a memorization. I was thinking the whole episode it may be "I have the power of Thermodynamics!!!" but that's too broad. Temperature is a good fit as indeed it can freeze, heat, and provoke updrafts, and the fact that to use the last one he has to use the other two in secuence is related to what Cruz said. Other possibility is he has some sort of "Science Knowledge fragment", that would explain why he is in charge of keeping Arclight alive, his powers (they are actually related to his devices) and why he commenst about Kurumi's DNA (maybe he can clone her or design a weapon for his use from her genes), but that wouldn't relate well with Cruz's clue. I feel we don't have all the pieces of the puzzle, and maybe Saten's character design will be involved in the solution (particularly his eyes which may be invoking some sort of disability superpower, and of course, his giant bracelets/cannons). |

| I'd be glad if they had left that room ffs.. But not a single sec of boredom as always. |
 |
| i think his power is RANDOM |

| Nice episode with a very experimental animation on some fights. It was original and great. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| <_< I'm so confused..is Saten's fragment different from Adam's? Or does he like, kill Needless and absorb their Fragments as his own? |
 |
KayChan4U said: <_< I'm so confused..is Saten's fragment different from Adam's? Or does he like, kill Needless and absorb their Fragments as his own? Nah, if he had Zero frament Adam wouldn't have been able to absorb his fragment, and Disc would have been able to scan it. Temperature and Pressure are both good possibilities but I dunno where Yamada's speculation about Saten having to use his attacks in sequence fits in. Oh well, I guess I'll leave the thinking to Yamada and just enjoy the panty shots. :D |

| Comedy wasn't as good as normally this episode. Also the endless fight is starting to get on my nerves. It's like watching DBZ all over again. But well, it's still more or less decent. Also that shitty animation in between was used way too often. I didn't find that too hilarious or funny. |
   |
| What a cliffhanger. I can't wait for 16 now. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| AWESOME SHOW FOR AWESOME PEOPLE! Cool ep, that Saten guy is pretty insane! |

Would it be awesome if it wasn't and they just made you think it is? @unellmay i will be impressed if your theory turn out to be true, but nah, needless isnt epic enough to be like that I don't think that would be epic. It would be the equivalent of a Shocking Swerve: May be interesting for a second with the "Gotcha!" effect on the public, but then wouldn't add anything to the story. Instead, by her being Cruz's sister, there is a whole new pathos and added stakes to the plotline. |
|
| this show just keeps fucking rocking. i dont know how nobody there thinks that the one chick is cruz's sister. i'll be incredibly surprised if its not her. we'll see, cant wait for next week. |
 |
| Not much comedy,but cool fights,I too think that the fragment of Saten is something about the heat/temperature. XD |
| The bad animation made this episode even better. |
 |
| Another decent episode...but when will they get out of that room already?!!? |
