Tomonori's true powers could be related fire. In any case, I'm sure she'll eventually manage to master that fire golem thing.

Yeaah, for a genius, Haruna sure is a bit stupid. Not so much the lured by spaghetti part (I mean, when encountered with an affable villain like that, surely they won't stop so low as to poison your food, so better enjoy it while you can. I mean, those spaghetti sure looks delicious...) but the whole cutting bomb thing. It does lead to some funny scenes though, as this episode is a bit too thick with the melodrama.

It's not such much the fact she ate those spaghetti that bothered me, but how engrossed she was by it. She was so happy she completely let her guard and forgot who was sitting next to her.

Tomonori and Haruna make a good duo. The part where they attempted to put Ayumu back together using glue was hilarious (Seriously, Tomonori? That's the kind of eccentric idea I would have expected Haruna to come up with, but not from her!)

I think Yoruno's motivation is that he thinks immortality sucks, sure the regenerative powers means youth so he won't stay a wrinkly old man forever, but it still means that he's going to outlive everything, especially his loved ones. Also, living as an immortal means he may have to change often, to avoid suspicion. In the long run, he may even survive the destruction of earth and sun, living alone floating in space...so maybe he's looking for Yuu in order to force her to undo the curse? He can't really threaten Yuu, but he can hurt the person close to her (Ayumu etc).

And say what you will about the end card, at least it will clear up some speculations....

The thing is, he doesn't need to force her. She already tried to kill him last week, and she apparently came close to killing him once in the distant past. Perhaps even Yuu can't kill him at her current level. In order to do so, she'd need to remove her limitations (i.e; her armor), which would put the world(s) in trouble.

This end card truly is awesome. Both beautiful and highly informative

This episode cleared up another speculation:



It appears there are male vampire ninjas as well.

Yeah, that part was a bit weird too. Hey, that's the girl I've been living with for weeks and searched for months, next to the guy who almost killed me and my friends yesterda-forget that, there's SPAGHETTI on the table!!! But really, as to be expected from Haruna...

And I agree that they make a good duo. They make a good boke-tsukkomi routine, usually Haruna being the dumber one but occasionally with Tomonori joining in the stupidity anyway. As I recall however, Kyouko's body move and reattach itself when cut, does this mean that this doesn't apply to Ayumu? Or just that it took longer and gluing it up makes the process faster? Because if the bomb destroy its body to a million pieces, if it doesn't search for each other it's really going to be bad...

Yeah, I think your explanation makes sense, I think that's what going to happen. What's been bothering me is why Yuu won't just go ahead and kill him to get it over with, but considering she's the one who makes him an immortal, then she needs a greater power to overcome that. But she doesn't know what would happen if she took off her armor to power her up, all she know it would be dangerous, so that's probably she agreed to go with him, to get out of the way of those dear to her (Ayumu and friends). Of course, she could've told all of them this and spare them the worry. Sure they'll try to stop her, but it's not like they actually can...

I wonder if the same rule still applies to them? That is, if they kiss a girl ninja they have to marry her? Well, it should be if I understand the law correctly, so it seems that as most ninjas would avoid early marriage responsibilities, there will be a lot of gay kisses everywhere...(well, it doesn't need to be a kiss, but it helps)

stop it, we dont need another fan fiction

Spoiler for ep 10:

So Yuu has been gone for months, thats so long. I wonder if she really did return to the underworld. Though i actually thought that Yoruno knew where Yuu was and just trying to rub it into Ayumu. Looks like he was also looking for her.

Felt sorry for Sera this week. So since she drank Yuu's blood does that make her a zombie vampire ninja? Haruna was her usual dump self. Loled how she was won over easily by the food. Yuki's reactions were great this week.

Looks like Yoruno's plan worked. It seems like his wish is to die. He's sick of living forever. I guess that's why he wants Yuu. Though i still don't get why she didn't grab Ayumu's hand. That was a big blow.

In the first episode he asks the naked Haruna to fetch his lower half and in the next scene he's whole again, so the glue doesn't seem to be necessary. But I can't recall if Ayumu has shown any ability to move detacted bodyparts.

Spoiler for ep10:

a surprisingly very good episode. really enjoyed it.

- lol'd @Happy-chan.

- oh, so the guy wants to die, uh? ... Why I'm not surprised?

but he really needs some very strong/good reasons for that, because I don't think his currently "eternity is boring, ya know?" is gonna cut it...
Heck, he could even rival with Vento's past/motives with that...
and that's too bad, 'cause he looks kinda badass...


but since he gave me this MAGNIFICENT view:



I suppose, I'll have to re-evaluate him.

[Knightrunner]

I feel sorry for Sera after knowing she got beat up by her fellow vampire ninja clan for not going through with the mission.

They really are Conservatives.

Well it would be an interesting outcome if that were true... i mean they look the same just that Yoruno is older... Yuu revived both of them and she promised to stay with them.. so yeah it matches .. but the thing of kill a Seventh Abyss and getting corrupted screw the theory .

Yuki got powers related to fire ..

Spoiler:

Spoiler for episode 10:

Well interesting .. months passed and Yuu wasnt found yet.. Sera is now looked like a traitor by her faction.. King of the Night even though is evil is cool in my opinion.. Saras appeared i like her ice/water sword hope see her again in the next chapter too she might become my 2nd favorite char.. Yuki was too focus on talking with Ayumu that she glued the legs wrong way .. and when she blushed and went red tomato ..also wtf with Haruna she forgot the mission of rescue Yuu for some food made by the villain even asked seconds and well Ayumu exploded.. Also Saras face in the preview was priceless xD, hope someone post it.

[jedinat]

Meh, this episode was really lame. The show is entertaining when it's being funny and lighthearted, but it's so unintelligent that it becomes really boring and annoying when it tries to be serious and dramatic. You can't overlook stupid things like a violin showing up at the door just so it can be played during the next scene when a show is trying to be serious, lol.

Random, pointless, and contrived plot elements only work with comedy... and I'm really getting tired of the main character; err, all the characters, lol... but the main one especially. It seems all he's capable of on his own is looking dramatic and being cut into pieces...

It totally fits her if you asked me. After all, the ramen ain't gonna cook itself.

Spoiler for Ep 10:

Darn it's really taking longer for them to find Yuu compared to what I imagined. But it was cool hearing Aikawa's perseverance through his thoughts on the matter. Suckz to see what Sera's been going through during this time as well, even though she has no regrets.

I gotta admit though, I honestly felt awkward seeing them having lunch with the series's antagonist due to how you don't see something like that pretty often.

I'm not really that worried at all for Aikawa taking the bomb, since he is a zombie after all. Either way it kinda felt pretty sad due to the background music and how it looked like he was leaping his way to the heavens for a moment. But his voice was kinda off when he called out Yuu's name.

Really good episode seeing another one of the characters like Seras getting a bit more screen time. Totally looking forward to the next.

[Master_Yoma]

Any one else think of Dr. Zoidberg when his legs went on backwards

[KLGChaos]

Didn't really like the episode for two reasons:

Spoiler:

Number one, it's depressing. I started watching this series because it was really funny and while it kept some nice funny gags, like with the legs and funny-looking bomb, overall, it just has a depressing overtone that I'm not fond of.

Number two, the bad guy. I've always hated OP shounen villains (Aizen being one of the top and the main reason I dropped Bleach). A guy who can just sit there, not move a muscle and basically do whatever he wants is just annoying. Can't stand that type because then, the author usually has to pull out some stupid DEM for the good guys to win. I mean, seriously, how could Ayumu ever stand a chance against a dude who can kill with a single thought? Doubt his fist will do much against him.

[serenade_beta]

Spoiler for ep10:

It was... really boring. I guess it is the fate of most "Character runs away, let's find them and brood"-type episodes though...
Still wasn't interesting in anyway though.

But hey, the comedic time-bomb + Toki wo Kakeru Zombie was hilarious. It really broke the mood, which was bad, but I guess the staff wanted to tell us the anime is only good when it is comedic or something, perhaps.
Yeah, the comedy in this episode was great, though it didn't help the seriousness of the plot at all.

[~Yami~]

Spoiler for 10:

a few months after yuu left??? yes! I feel like waiting for a month just for this episode (although it's just a week)
a very dark episode.... It's too sad to see Eucliwood's face... Next episode please...... >.<
All factions unite just to defeat a zombie??

[SoFarGone]

"I don't have enough screentime, fool"

I totally agree Saras.

More Saras and Yuki and LESS Sera and Haruna!

[Sixth]

It may be late for saying this but...this episode made me LOVE Tomonori....I don't know why that I now have this feeling when she was already introduced few episodes ago. I think it must be the cloak that she wore made she look cute.

[Seihai]

I found this episode to be as weird as the last one (not in a good way). And I'd really like to think Yoruno-chan isn't as bad as he seems. Well actually he doesn't seem all that bad to me but oh well. I like him. Nice spaghetti btw.

[taichi-kun]

I really don't know if the adaptation of this episode was good .. comparing to the novel...

I didn't like this episode ... I'm starting to hate yuu
