After skipping Ikki's arc (man I hate that guy's guts), and kinda interested in Kento's arc because he's suspecting it's not really amnesia, then comes Toma's arc....

.... and holy crap, we've got a yandere in the making here, don't we? He's not there yet, but like Shuffle, it just suddenly made the whole anime that much more interesting. I sure hope they finish THIS arc, even if it has come to NICE BOAT end lol.

Although I'm wondering how'd the MC went to the bathroom while in the cage, or how stupid Toma is to forget to lock the frigging cage before he left. XD

Which is why she has none at all. It's all with Orion. Without Orion, the heroine is devoid of much of her impetus and will - with Orion, the Heroine becomes able to act pro-actively.

That's a very interesting theory.

I heard from gamers that Heroine was actually a silent character...which is why she barely talks and when she does, it's nothing constructive or helpful.

WHAT DA FACK!?

You see....it takes a yandere to fight off a bunch of yanderes...

I hope replying to this won't be a spoiler--or maybe with the tags... Which route from the original game does the anime follow? Or does it somehow put together all basic routes to uncover the so called true one?

Protection or Imprisonment, Toma?

I'm not going to say sorry but to denounce him. What he did to Heroine is both practical and legally criminal.

But him imposing himself to steal a kiss from Heroine that made him a ba****d, as well as it felt like non-sexual rape of sorts.

His motivations to protect Heroine from Rika's petty gang of b****es fawning over on Ikki neither excuse nor exonerate him from keeping Heroine locked up at his place against her will.

I recall back when the show was on the Ikki route how that arc would have had turned dangerous, but at the conclusion Ikki turned out a nice person longing for a true and stable relationship with a girl.

I can say Toma's arc is sort of an anithesis to Ikki's route. Ikki's not self-absorbing but Toma does. Toma doesn't trust anyone in his route, but in Ikki's route it was shown that both he and Kento are the best of friends.

This episode took me aback, and I'm surprised that Toma's world continues for another episode next week. Let's see for ourselves what Hime wrote in her journal about her feelings.

I'll give episode 9 praise for one thing. Even though I knew that Toma's story would be more than 2 episodes before I watched it, when MC-chan was running to her apartment and the car approached her in the crosswalk, I expected her to be run over and killed. Habit formed by training kicked in. If I hadn't known about Toma's more-than-2-parter, I would have been genuinely surprised.

The resolution of Toma's arc was dreadful. She forgives him just like that simply because her alternate self loved him? Girl, I don't think she knew what a crazy bastard he was. It might be a good thing she got killed. I doubt she would have been happy with him. It was only a matter of time before he locked her up again or worse.

Now we're finally entering the final route. Looks like Ukyo either has an evil twin or a slip personality disorder.

Thanks everyone. It's actually kind of neat that my randomly pulled out my ass theory might have a grain of truth to it far as the heroine's past is concerned, considering that...

Some people at GameFAQs dub the main character "Ano-chan" or "Eto-chan" because 'ano' and 'eto' comprise a majority of her dialogue.

I think it's a cute nickname.

Rather, most of her dialogue is "Eh?" and "Hah?"

DragoonKain3 · 2013-03-13, 10:47

Bah, when I meant nice boat ending last week, I wanted it to be Toma to have done the deed. But its some random stranger who appears out of nowhere who kills the MC? That's like the yandere's version of NTR lol

There are yanderes, and there are just flat out crazy people. I like the former because their insanity stems from love/jealousy, but the latter? Too unpredictable for my liking. Even this episode had Ukyo killing the MC not in the name of love, but simply because she did not heed his warnings.

So sorry Ukyo, you're kinda uninteresting for me. Obviously he has some sort of schizophrenia, as even in the beginning you see he has the 'love' mode and the 'I wanna kill you so bad' mode. And that as the basis of his character is just kinda meh for me..

Bern-san · 2013-03-13, 11:01

I recommend you wait until Ukyo's full backstory is revealed before you judge him. In my opinion his insanity is kind of justified... In fact I pitied him.

ars89 · 2013-03-13, 13:36

Not surprising that she forgave Touma. Honestly opening the diary sooner would have saved her from being imprisoned. So Ukyo snapped and actually killed her this time. Time for the final route. Lol the world wants to kill her, she definitely has no hope. Ukyo was tied to the other worlds like she was so i wonder what his story is. Couldn't they just took the boot off?

ThereminVox · 2013-03-14, 11:44

Can't go hiking, swimming, cross the street, or even sleep without dying.

Expert lock-picker.

Got it.

Gosh the Toma arc was painful. So glad it's over. Srsly what kind of shitty message is this show trying to send? Both the Toma situation and the bullies thing had a really dreadful conclusion.

This arc sounds interesting though, and Ukyo of this world (or what we've seen of him so far) sounds nice.

Bern-san Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2009	Finally Ukyo Spoiler for 10: So yeah Heroine always loved Toma and was asking Ikki for help but Toma misunderstood it. If Heroine had opened the diary before and Toma wasn't a creepy asshole everything would have been fine... Ukyo kills Heroine and she enters his world this time. The only surprising fact is that the world itself wants to kill our Heroine but Ukyo tries to evade it. He was her lover. __________________

ookamigirl Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2011	Episode 10 Spoiler for plot: Wow, that girl sure got around. So far it seems she was with all of them at some point. Flashbacks to her past were kinda sweet. She let go of the whole caged thing rather easily. Can't decide if she's an airhead, or just stupid or both. Honestly, I don't get what they all see in her.. The world switching part was interesting though. Seems like she's not the only one experiencing that phenomenon. __________________ My Blog --> ookami
