Hidan no Aria - Episode 9 Discussion / Poll

[Cosmic Eagle]

The moe this season is almost intolerable....

Riko on one hand...Erio on the other....

Shirayuki's inane blabbering was lolzy stuff too..

3) Our good thief proves once again that adorable (albeit savage) innocence does not have to be mutually exclusive from mature sexiness.

4) Oh Riko-chan, you absolutely own everyone in the cast, in every sense of the word.

PS

FUCK YOU ISHIHARA for scribbling your fucking crayons over Shirayuki's breasts!!

That's cause Riko is a veteran of god knows how much eroge

Also...for some reason, Kinji calmly climbing down with a calm expression compared to Shirayuki screaming above was somehow extremely hilarious....it's like he could be simply climbing down a stairs...

But as for her attraction - she just has that cool aura without being really a kuudere like Reiki. She has deadpand expression, looks and good voice. She is pretty damn attractive.

Kind of similar to Hitagi from Bekemonogatari in the way she carries herself around but hitagi is much moire tsun at least compared to Jeanne.

Jeanne me reminds of what I call mature tsunderes (type C - like Kano from Velvet Kiss, Makoto from KOR or Sheryl from Macross F). If her character will indeed be like that - thats something for the future.

But she really has a similar air around her which added with the good looks is a winner for me. Wish to see more of her though.

tsun? Jeanne is not tsun...its more like she doesn't care...

Cold shoulder tactics is also a tsun technique for your info. But as I said - need to see more Jeanne to see if she is really aloof or not.

She is rather socially clueless at times...

[BladeEntity]

Once Aria's dere is out, wow I think people may have change of hearts... I'm all for Aria, even though majority of the harem cast is honestly epic win, I'm even warming up to Shirayuki, even though I found her annoying at the start.

Thats Reki. Jeanne can be clueless but she certainly is not Reki.

[Cosmic Eagle]

Well, she can't give the cold shoulder if she doesn't understand the concept of that in the first place....Jeanne OTOH is still normal...more or less.

[Xero8420]

Well... how is she being clueless?

[mangatron]

You know, Jeanne hardly had any screen time that wasn't about the EU, so it's really tough t say anything about her. Of course, if anything else is said, then that'll go in the novel thread

Honestly, I was Aria from the get-go maybe some members would see my reasons in a different way, but I'm noting the things she does. Example being my quip earlier about one of her rare deredere moments, the part where she wanted to give Kinji a Leopon. That scene went straight through my heart

Where is her Leopon anyway. I didn't see it this ep, haven't seen it since, shouldn't that be a closely kept treasure? Or maybe her embarressment over matters of love are in effect

It's in her cellphone. It's cellphone strap to begin with.

I know, I'm trying to think back to ep 02/03, did Kinji attach his? He didn't seem to have it in this ep. Even more so, does Aria even use her phone?

And even Riko's umbrella, it's both a grapple and a firearm. Where's the string come from probably the same place all their weapons hide in their clothes XD

[ars89]

Good having Riko back, such a tease. Shirayuki was funny again. Wonder if Aria and Kinji real will help her steal something.

From Shirayuki's prediction i say the wolf is maybe a werwolf possibly even Sensei who looked shady. Demon i have no idea. For ghost i'd say maybe his brother.

[Chiibi]

Riko is still a puzzle to me. I can't figure out whether she actually likes Kinji or just enjoys playing with him.

It seems to me she only wants to mess with him...because she had no problems with leaving him on a pilotless plane, knowing very well he could have died in that situation. Maybe she is sexually attracted to him (and yes, from this girl's point of view, he's GOOD-LOOKIN ) but I think that's all it is.

I know, huh. Agree so hard.

Who know, man. For me, I think she IS actually likes Kinji in the near future. As he said, she's likely have no sign of intention to deceive them. You'll see. Although she likes to tease a handsome hunk like him, sensually.

Spoiler for Theory about a 'ghost':

Speaking of Kinji will encounter a 'ghost', could this mean that it might represent as Shirayuki's fate in the future?

Er, just wanted to remind that Chiibi is a girl. Just a friendly reminder

Yeah, I think Riko really does like him, it's just that her way of showing it is... a little more direct I find it amusing he just simply"stands" around her when he's with her. He's not exactly rejecting her, but he's not all over her either XD

Regarding the 'ghost', it will be explained in due course, and you will know it if you read the light novels. But suffice to say, the speculations offered by ars89 above are actually almost spot on.

Yeah, it does make sense if you look at the meanings instead. Werewolf would make sense for Sayonaki because he's practically right there under their noses, who looks quite the good guy as a teacher and all, but going by the preview he seems suspicious.

Demon would have to be an outright evil person, so far I don't recall anyone previously in the series that they've met yet who can fit this description, so this may be a first time meeting.

Ghost makes sense if you think about Kinji, who thought his brother is dead, but may very well be alive. So a guy coming back from the dead, seems like the perfect ghost

[SilverSyko]

Judging from what they're adapting though and what I've read of the novel, they might not even show the "ghost" part unless this is getting a second season and they use it as a cliffhanger. So if you're an anime only viewer, don't necessarily expect to see this one.

I believe the next episode will cover the "wolf" part. The "demon" part will be revealed in the final episode most likely.

And this episode mentioned someone named Vlad who is the 2nd in-command of E.U. You can bet your britches that this character will have importance for this arc, just like Durandal (Jeanne) was in the previous one.~

You know, I have a feeling they might introduce the "ghost" at the end of the final episode, as a teaser or something. After all, they've already mentioned it, so why not show it, even if it is just a few seconds?

Oh, sorry. I didn't even get to know you people around here. I hardly think a few of them in here are girls. I'm so sorry.

LOL. That makes Kinji a dummy for that. I guess he would say for sorry with guilt if he reject a girl like Aria in his harem.

Besides... if he's not all over her, or either of the other harem candidates, then who?

Could you provide me the link or a source for the speculations?

Well, "the wolf, the demon and the ghost" phrase seems make sense, yet another brainstorming IQ guess.

Let's see...

Spoiler for Wolf:

Wolf= a suspicious back-stabber ---> Sayonaki (well he seems suspicious, as he seems hiding something. Probably being an EU's undercover agent?)

Spoiler for Demon:

A damned-right "scoundrel"

Spoiler for There's a one possibility...:

I can assure that it may goes to the de facto EU leader (the ultimate truth awaits to shake the series!)

Spoiler for Ghost:

A "spirit" arise from the dead

Spoiler for plausibly...:

This is highly probable related to Kinji's doubt if his brother is really still alive. If he's really alive, Kinji would be in a great shock if he learns the truth.

If you are talking about the speculations, it is just somewhere in the middle of this page.. under post 91.
