| A pretty strong episode fleshing out Mephisto and Faust's past, and it's all-out trouble at this point against zombies, and furthermore, there is killing of Infected in the slums behind the scenes. A whole lot going on in general, finding it a little hard to keep up at times, but still very engaging for sure. |
| 1:09 Russian! Everyone probably already knows this word, but its original meaning is "whore, slut, prostitute" Blaze hugging Amiya was so cute aaaahhhh 15:21 From what I found Lin Yühsia (林雨霞) literally means "forest + rain mist". I guess she and the guys in black raincoats represents the part of Lungmen that doesn't want to cooperate with Rhodes Island. 16:14 Couldn't find a Cantonese-English translator that accepts romanizations. Does anyone know what this means? Seems like we've already seens Faust because he's listed in season 1 character list on MAL. Either way, his death was so sad. I'm really curious about Mephisto's backstory now. Every time I assume something I fear that I would be wrong and the people who played the game will come at me lol |

| That spells the end of Faust I guess So many things happening at once in just an episode. I look to see what happens next. Ch'en I believe is about to find out the horrible truth about Lungmen's extreme means |

| Mephisto's tantrum really shows how immature he is. Facing trained and motivated soldiers is different to killing innocent civs. The battle for Lungmen though sure exposed how ugly the war between Rhodes island/LGD and Reunion can be. Its unerving that Mephisto treats his men as tools rather than people. The black guards sure look more menacing animated. Overall an excellent ep that while having some good action also featured a number of dark themes and moments that showed just how fragile trust can be in this world and how that can be used to implement a true black white POV. Unlike Mephisto Fuast proved to be an excellent commander who cared about his men and it was sad to see him go like this. |

| Don't worry Mephisto, you'll get to sing eventually. Blaze was the absolute highlight of this episode. She's such a great and fun character, I love her. Kinda wish we'd have gotten to see more of her fighting (though we'll probably get that properly soon enough), but the small character moments made up for it. Her picking up the Doctor was a certified "god i wish that were me" moment. |

| @Embient I believe Faust is listed because he appeared briefly in Chernobog (along with some of the other Reunion squad leaders) when Rhodes Island was escaping the city with the Doc in tow. But, yes, this is the part of the story where he gets a proper introduction and arc. We saw a bit of his and Mephisto's past here in the flashbacks, but there is more to them in the future (as well as the history of Reunion as a whole). Yühsia's father's name is Lin Grey, also known as the "Rat King" of Lungmen. Very cool character. |

| Ouch. ... Well, f××k me. Beautiful soundtrack too, yet again... F××k. |
| That was a nice hug from Blaze. Is a little sad that someone kinda decent like Faust died, but is a step closer to the hopefully Mephisto death, which would fantastic. |
 |
| Ep 13... wow. After a lackluster ep 12, this is what was needed. Absolutely amazing. Even better than Ep 10 if I might say. First, Eno and Sasha's childhood. Perfectly put between Eno's abused past, the orginium scene (god that was hard to watch, YP you did not hold back), and his eventual transformation to the psychopath he is. Eno and Sasha's relationship was expressed fully, nothing missing to show their heavy bond with one another, leaving Faust to do the only thing he can do, sacrifice himself to save Mephisto. And he went out like a champ. Next of course, Blaze Blaze Blaze. Her character came across well, and ofc the Amiya hug and the Doctor carry 🙏 Thank you YP. Also how powerful she is was again shown well, "I could incinerate your lungs", jumping from building to building, my girl. Now, how gritty this episode was. I think YPs now realized Link Click existed, cause this is the brutal AK I know. Between the zombie hoarde, Faust's slow path towards death, the originium shoved down Eno's throat, the Slum Massacre, and the merciless killing of infected by the Black Raincoats, shit was brutal. Faust and Greythroat's standoff was also great, tense moment between infected and non-infected, "It's kill or be killed." And different ending version! Love the contrast between the proud and the despairing Reunion Leaders, and the fast flashing of the leaders changes to the LGD and Lungmen co, ain't that interesting. Overall, brilliant episode. It just gets better from here. |

| Service announcement for people who don't watch the OP/ED every time: The ending has small changes, it's not the same as in the previous 4 episodes! |
| Chapter 6: Partial Necrosis is getting adapted! They even updated the visuals in the ending. A lot of things happened this episode. The black raincoats, mass killing of the infected, Lin's debut and Sasha's last stand against the LGD. |

| @sasahara_n You're right now that I think about it. I just wanted to do a bit of research to be sure and found this: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cyka_blyat and it mentions the meaning that I mentioned. At first I thought it was as you said, but this made me think I was wrong. But yeah, you're right. |

| Wow that was so sad; we got to see a human side of faust and mephisto...that really hurt bros. |
 |
| again a chapter where not even one npc dies on the protagonists side, without a doubt the most ridiculous anime of the season, what is the point of humiliating the antagonists in all, but absolutely all episodes? |
| The shota duo of Mephisto and Faust disgusts me. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Wow Faust and Mephisto episode. Damn that ending... another emotional episode. |

@Rurihime_chan why are you so eager to see someone die? In game this part of the story is called Reunion arc.
Meaning this part will solely focus on reunion from here and out, still Both side will undergo character development for each of their main characters.
But I will let you know this for now.
46 NPC will die by the end of reunion arc from Rhodes Island side without spoiling who.

| @bobbyrani Well, this season is more than half over and so far we have not watch any deaths on the Rhodes/Lungmen side, in reunions we have watch dozens. The anime humiliates only one side, and that is not enjoyable, and its goal is supposed to be to attract more people to the game... |
Reply to bobbyrani
@Rurihime_chan I get your point but aside from minor NPCs there won't be any death from Rhodes Island side.

| @Rurihime_chan It seems like someone forgot to watch the first season when Ace has to sacrifice himself and all the wounded Rhodes got in the first match against Reunion. Misha's death and Doctor's almost death, the confrontation against Frostnova when the group almost lost their lives. It also seems that someone forgets that for Talulah the members of Reunion are simple pawns that can be sacrificed for the greater good as seen in the first season when he let his own men die while Rhodes with Amiya has the mentality of save everyone and that is precisely the difference between how troops are used in combat. |
 |
| Definitely a much better episode after last week's episode. Glimpses of Eno and Sasha's past and also a more tender looking Talulah were definitely the highlights this time around for me. I preferred the PV animation of Ch'en's encounter with the Black Coats but that is just me, it felt like there were cuts in animation where 2 of them appear behind Ch'en and she just kinda let them walk past her like she wasn't on guard, but yay we see Lin Yühsia (one of my favourite chars in Arknights)!! |
 |
| Faust found a way to help his friend!!! kekeke |
| Faust is actually the nicest guy in Reunion. He only followed through because of Mephisto, which as we've just seen from the Flashback. Mephisto was actually manipulated into becoming evil. Faust just wanted to protect Mephisto. This is actually one of the saddest arc (chapters) in Arknights as they slowly reveal more and more Lore. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Faust did not deserve to go out in such a horrible way. That should have been reserved for Mephisto. I’m still not trusting Chief Wei. |
