| well that was a satisfying ending to the episode. I like the short cut that was used to get the elf on their side. you have having a copy of each others memories leaves no room for guessing each others motives and alliances. they can't hate each other anymore and are more willing to help each other out. looking forward to next week. oh and the four of them just starting to ball their eyes out was a cute touch. |
 |
| Watching this episode made me remember the siblings' biggest weakness: they can't be apart from each other. With such an obvious weakness like this, I wonder why no one who has ever challenged the two ever thought of exploiting this weakness? |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
ollythirteen said: the fact that the whole point of art is to emulate (copy) (real) life... gee, i didn't know people had death notes, could summon swords from the sky and breath underwater in real life. the whole point of art is to convey one's (or a group of people's) imagination, nothing more. sometimes the art represents real life in one way or another, but these are just a very small subset of what can be considered "art". |

oneroaddict said: Yet another great episode. Dat ending tho... XD . Also, could someone explain what they were saying in the episode preview (not the episode preview itself)? And looks like the "if me say bad its bad" people emigrated from the locked thread, lol. you mean this? "It's way faster than salamander" (Jibril?) "Shut up" (Sora) "It's a sad thing, growing up" random conversation (not sure if that's the right word) is random. |

| That was something! Damn it Sora... So crazy yet so brilliant. This episode doesn't top the one against Jibril but it's close. There are some amazing thoughts put into this, i'm impressed with this anime. |

| My guess from the last episode was way off. That was an interesting episode, a bit over the top though. The tears :3 |
| getting an Elf on their side was a great move. Warbeasts will be a peace of cake now. |

Well, if the translation of Baka-Tsuki is complete, I already did it (it ends with ep8, right?) ^^ Volume 1 as well. I simply couldn't resist X) You are absolutely right!! Sorry I mistakenly said volume 2 when I should have said volume 3. Mea culpa!! Anyway, please add that to your manga/novel list... It's easier to find out what you read before. Done. I completely forgot that Manga side of MAL tracks LNs as well... too bad I'm reading crazy fast so I'll finish it in two days. Augh, now 1 week of painful waiting... |

| Hmmm, I wonder if it hurts to cease existing? Great episode. I had thought it was the work of the Phantasma (I think thats their name) but a fucking crazy plan by Sora himself also works! |
 |
| Well i did not freaking expect this.As Kurami said, Sora is pretty insane, but that's what i think makes him one of better MC's out there. Scene when they were all crying was great, but yeah, in general it was another damn good episode.Im going to rise my rating for this show once again, because i can. |

I don't remember what they said... if you say what they said, I'll explain with a spoiler tag Erm, basically everything in that episode preview: Pretty sure it has nothing to do with plot...I think. But I don't want to miss what seems to be a reference. a simple google search and found http://lang-8.com/206086/journals/686402 could be a reference to Bahamut Lagoon (a 1996 rpg for superfamicon), in which the heroine says "Salamander(Dragon's name) is ... very fast!" ...or maybe it's a meme of some sort |

J87 said: I am just done with reading the whole chapter (started after i saw your reply) and i can only say this: amazing! Told you so.... also sorry for my screw up saying it was volume 2 when in fact was volume 3... my fail there, sorry!! Anyway, glad you like it, try reading the rest or wait for the anime episode, it's up to you.... As I said before, I'm now anxiously waiting for episode of the game against Izuna. It will probably be the best one of this whole season (of NGNL ofc). Edit: typo |

NorseFTX said: Although...still...! Really, I don't mind knowing a little bit ahead of time what's going on. ...Goddamnit, I can't make up my mind about this show. It's both really stupid and really enjoyable.) Read the first transcript I put here... You'll have the answers you want about this episode... as for the spoilers, well only by reading the LN will you fully understand them |

jjrocks24 said: Wait so if that girl has Sora's memories now wouldn't she know all of Sora's techniques to game? If you had Cristiano Ronaldo memories, would that make you the world best football player?? Guess this answers your question... Memories =/= Art and Skill |

NorseFTX said: The main weakness of this show is that it does not give you much of a chance to understand the rules of the game before it reveals how Sora manipulates the rules to his advantage. It doesn't give the audience a chance to contemplate how they would approach the game themselves and compare their own conclusions with what Sora ends up doing. Rules and effective plays come up from left field without preface a little too much; it bothers me slightly at times. I blame time restraint for that, thought it can only be applied to only this particular game, as the adaptation had to leave out critical information in order to manage to finish the chapter in one episode (as next chapter has different mood). Rest of the games Sora partake in were pretty straight forward. Hence my hope into blu-ray versions of the episodes being extended, like they were for one critical episode of Fate/Zero (Episode 10 I think, King's Banquet). jjrocks24 said: Wait so if that girl has Sora's memories now wouldn't she know all of Sora's techniques to game? Having knowledge about something and having ability to utilize it properly isn't the same ;) For example, Bronze StarCraft 2 player might know all the build orders professional players are using, but if he cannot execute it as pro player, that knowledge's usability is pretty small. |

| YES!!! the ending is back to normal again |
 |
| That was great! This show just gets better every week! Erasing their existence? I wouldn't have expected that honestly. Can't wait for next week! |
| very good this episode, the focus the series has changed a bit and brought Shiro as the protagonist also episode focused on the psychological and past of the character, very interesting trusts between the characters, not only as Shiro and Sora like Kurome and Feel seems that the harem Sora will increase |
  |
| An excellent thought provoking episode. Kept me interested throughout despite no action or anything. I'd like them to go more in-depth with Sora and Shiro's past even more so than they did this episode. But the mystery of it is a really nice touch to the characters, it keeps one invested in them. Great episode all around. AOTS. |
jjrocks24 said: Wait so if that girl has Sora's memories now wouldn't she know all of Sora's techniques to game? I'm gonna assume she took the "memory" portion of the brain |
| Great episode and dat end xD Only 3 more episodes T_T |
| "Did you really think I wouldn’t cheat just because I was already winning?" - Dread Emperor Terribilis II "I chose glory and success. The box did not contain what was written on the lid." - Sand dan Glokta |
| Fine Sora you were pretty clever with this idea risky&insane but clever i feel as though if i tried to just nitpick on everything i would just anger myself and find this less enjoyable so i'll give it a break however i won't ignore fact this would of been all over if Shrio didn't somehow figure all Sora's plays to the point in which she didn't even need to see the board to win but whatever those 2 are 1 and blank never loses right?. |
 |
| Beside the stealing existence part (I thought it was altering memories), my guess was spot on about the on-going game with Kurami yay! Insignificant achievement of the day haha :D |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Good episode, very clever. |

Takuan_Soho said: Edit: Just was watching the English subtitles, saw something that I missed. It made it sound like Sora and Shiro are, at the least, half siblings. Probably bad sub, but it said that Shiro was reunited with the woman who was supposed to be her mother. If I think about it, I don't think that this has been said that they were adopted siblings, oh it was implied when Sora was talking about first meeting Shiro eight years ago, but if Shiro was sent to the orphanage at a very young age because of her intelligence, then there is a chance that Sora had just never met her. To make it clearer (dunno if they'll explain better next episode, but this was already explained in the LN at this point of the story) |

Takuan_Soho said: Oh, on the Kurumi front, love her look when she got what Sora's ultimate aim was. She knew she could be true to both humans and to her best friend. Nice writing there. Actually Kurumi and Fii (the Elf) also have a interesting backstory, although there was only a very short explanation. But this will probably be addressed next episode, when they formally have a meeting for their presentation and strategize the game against Izuma. If you really want to know this "soft-Spoiler" then be my guest: I won't reveal more, since it would affect the story... but this big-small information is sufficient to give us a idea of how the Elves realm works. |
