| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Omg, I can't believe Andrea screwed with his own mother. This is probably one of the weirdest things I've ever seen (heard actually). Also, I wonder what Albert is going to talk about with the Count, since he is probably the last person in the world, Albert wants to see. |
| This episode was AWESOME! V__V But I guess we all know what's gonna happen in teh next ep. If they keep the pattern of the last two eps the same, that is. I wanna know what was in the letter~ Madame Danglers/Villefort passes out a lot, no? :3 And for the record... he attempted to screw his half-sister, but he decided not to. ._." |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| revenge is so sweet for Dantes... though its hard to agree with his meathods given that more than just the guilty are being punished here... poor Franz :( |
 |
| I don't know what Albert is up to now, but it's probably made of stupid. I kind of had a feeling that Andrea was their kid (it was kind of foreshadowed all over the place in the episode he appeared in) so I was pretty creeped out by him this entire time. D: |

| AWESOME episode. 2 down... 1 more to go. Yeah, Andrea is nasty...ugh. |
  |
| Well weird episode ... I guess I had a feeling Andrea was their child part way after the revelation of the chest but still ... err @_@ |
| Another episode that is, underneath it all, really fantastic... but still. The Count's revenge was disturbing, although I can't say that Danglars was undeserving. He was a jerk. And Andrea... is just messed up. Don't know how else to say it... but I hope he's out of the picture for good now. Interesting cliffhanger. Wonder what Albert will actually do now... |
| The poisoned needle was new. |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
| "Btw the needle was poisoned." No shit man! I bet everyone thought it was just a normal needle, and Andrea poked Villefort with it just for the lulz. It was a good episode though, much better than the last ones. |
 |
| Probably the best episode in the series, ignoring episode 18. It proves that good things come to those who wait: over half the series spent building up to Edmond's revenge and then two of the three 'victims' dealt with in a single episode; receiving half an ep each. In the novel, Danglers was the last person dealt with, and by that point Edmond's hatred had faded to the point he no longer cared. But, as is the the case with much of the reworking of the novel, I was still left impressed by how it went down in this version. The ultimate punishment for someone as greedy as Danglers is for him to have all the money in the world and be unable to do anything with it. Classy stuff. As for the second half of the episode, Edmond only had to watch on as Andrea did his work for him. Andrea did a beautiful job of getting back at the parents who had left him for dead: having sex with his mother and revealing the ugly truth about his prideful father to the entire world. Edmond adding his own finishing touch in person, once Andrea was finished, concluded the second third of his vengeance neatly. |
| I love how the guards run in after he stabs him. Really, they didnt think the defendant getting close to a convicted murderer was a sign to separate them right. Let's wait a few moments after he drops to the floor then rush in. Lawl. |
 |
| He hid it i his hair lol |
| Lol Andrea fucked his own mother "yes that's the first thing I though about it xD" But lol that first part was rather funny, good backstory though on him but yea that's 2 down! |
 |
| Honestly, there are few voice actors that can pull off the evil laugh as well as Andrea's va, Seki Tomokazu . Such fitting endings for the two. |
| For me this was the best episode so far. And only 3 to go.. |
| Despite Andrea's actions, he was definitely justified in seeking revenge on his mother and father. I loved how he just played nice, forgiving son right up to the hug. The change in his tone was just superb too, soft spoken to cold and disgusted. And although I think banging his mom was over the top, he probably did that so he could leave her in mental anguish over that fact for the rest of her life. I like how the Count, or rather Dantes, claims revenge on the men. Not by killing them, but by making them suffer until the day they die in agony and regret. |
 |
| Note to self, don't f$ck with the Dantes. |
 |
| Sweet revenge. The trial was done well. I really like the way everything was revealed. 2 down 2 more to go. |
 |
| (rewatching) Cavalcanti's insane laugh. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha. He's a psycho. It's too bad we didn't get to see more of him going crazy on people. |
  |
| Revenge is gold.. So only one left. |

| Wow the Count was an absolute badass this episode! The very thought of Andrea fucking his own mother is so fucked up... |
| I'm just really lost in what's happening right now |
 |
| I don't know how different the show is from the novel (besides obviously the sci-fi setting), but this has been great. Sure it suffers from some dumb devices, usually originating from Albert, but otherwise it's been only impressive. |
 |
| This was an awesome episode with Andrea's monologue and, of course, parts of what led to Edmond's arrest. I have to say, I don't really remember if we had a chance to see how he used to look like in one of the previous episodes, but the moment I saw him now I thought it was Albert. They look suspiciously similar. Can't wait to see what the Count has planned for Fernando. And also what Albert has to say. Maybe he just wants to tell him he loves him no matter what, inspired by his friend's letter. That would be weird, but knowing Albert, it's very possible. If that happens I want to see a hug between those two, too!!! ~Two gone, one to go. |
 |
| As great as it is to see the Count's elaborate, malicious plan finally reaching the peak of its fruition, and as cool as his means of vengeance are, it... well, felt kind of rushed, TBH. Maybe an episode should've been spent for each of Danglars and Villefort instead of cramming the culmination of his vengeance upon both of them into a single episode. Awesome episode nonetheless. |

| That plane stuff and all the gold!!! D: The trial and Benedetto revealing everything about his heritage!!! I didn't expect him to get revenge on two of them in one episode considering how many there have been lol. |
 |
| Albert's development felt really messy and rushed towards the end... He goes from admiring the Count, to hating him for "toying with his feelings", to instantly and miraculously forgiving everything he's done after reading a single letter, all in the span of two or three days... The writing sure took a dip from episode 18 onward. |
| Loved this episode. Revenge is so fun to watch. |
"You either die an Ashita no Joe, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Naruto."  |
| That was some good revenge! |
 |
| Interesting to see how the count meets every 'old friend' of his and confronts them with their deeds back in the past. |
 |
| The count was so badass in this episode, great episode. |
| Revenge is indeed a sweet dish best served cold |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| That blond guy knew that was his mother and still do it He's really an awful person Revenge is not the way, it's always not. Sure it's sweet then... Then what? It'll become tasteless later I hope Albert will do the right thing So Franz's death is not vain at all |

| Andrea was really cool there, I really liked him in this episode. |
 |
| Wow, loved how the revenge for both of them fits with the sins they've done to achieve what they wanted. |
 |
| As a story, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the best tales of revenge I've ever read, if just by how it builds up over the course of years, where The Count just savors every single moment he gets up until the final moments. We all know that The Count is Edmond Dantes early on, but the reveals to his targets truly makes the revenge come full circle. With the anime version, it even becomes more ironic, where Dangles was trapped with piles of gold and his money in a spaceship sent adrift while Villefort was convicted in a court of law where he used to serve. I mean, Villefort was even hit by poison, which was the very thing that began ruining his family. Plus, as an anime, it can take liberties like having The Count be seemingly possessed by a spirit of revenge, where it visually exerts intimidation while constantly eating away at his life. The act of revenge becomes extremely literal in this case, where it causes misfortune to everyone around The Count, including himself. |
| Damn, loved this and the previous episodes,the build up and eventually the execution of the revenge have been great so far. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |

The writing sure took a dip from episode 18 onward. Sad but true. Also true that someone said the Count's revenge is very rushed. These are the two biggest problems keeping the show from a hard 9 from me, and make me almost want to give it an 8 (I say this as someone who finished the series yesterday) |

| The incident regarding what actually happened to Edmond Dantes was finally put under light by the Count himself as he enacted the final acts of his revenge upon the men that had stolen his life from him and turned him into the monster he is today. His punishments for Danglars and Villefort were so ironic and poetic! Danglars, a man controlled by avarice who had tried to escape with the money of thousands of people he had cheated off of during the stock market crash got exactly what he wanted and more when Edmond put him into a one-way trip to the endless void with all the gold he so desperately wanted to keep for himself. Villefort, a man of selective justice, was tried in a court of law and had his filthy secret and sordid affair revealed to the world by the very bastard son he tried to dispose of a full 17 years ago. It was already enough retribution for the Count to delight in the devastating humiliation of the Baroness and the former Crown Prosecutor but he had Benedetto go the extra mile by poisoning his father with a mind-rotting poison that will render him, someone whose most valuable possession is his intelligence, totally braindead. As Albert and Edmond face together once again, Fernand had shown everyone that he'd gone completely insane and singlehandedly started a coup to gather what's left of his shattered reputation. What a mad lad. |

This is my favorite part of the series. Oh sweet revenge. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Man Andrea is a crazy son of a bitch Yeah her mother is actually a bitch That cliffhanger... |
