You call their looks embarrassed ("oh no, how gay"), I saw it as dread ("don't mention that in front of Saki!"). Oh well, difference in interpretation I guess. Last edited by ~BC~; 2009-05-25 at 06:55. |

1. Sorry for misspelling your nickname, izmosmolnar. I hate it when people do that, and I apologize.
2. I think Kasuga was upset about the gay possibility, but the two only became more embarrassed after they started making too much noise. 3. Yeah, the coincidences were excessive. I just thought that they weren't quite as numerous as Jan-Poo said. 4. It would have been more ideal if Saki had phoned Oosugi earlier, but I don't blame her one iota under the circumstances: she was devastated, felt like a failure, felt ashamed toward her family, etc. She only recovered enough to phone him later. She probably forgot all about him, actually. The meal thing didn't seem to make much of an impression on her when he sprang it on her in the train.

Yeah. To me, Ohsugi/Oosugi seems a lot like that buzzing fly of a friend that just won't leave you alone. Sure they may be friends, but Saki is clearly uninterested in a romantic type of relationship, and he just doesn't get the hint. A shame he had to get it in the way he did.
Makes me wonder where Ohsugi really is if he wasn't the one in the hood. I think the fact that it was his cellphone/bag may have just been a red herring. The guy didn't *look* like Ohsugi, but maybe it was apart of the illusion? I dunno. This series does a great job in pulling you in. I hope Akira is okay, though. D:

About the money spent on this eps...
I doubt that, any fund that Selecao cash in can be converted back into Selecao funds again... It just like credit card... You buy things using your CC, then you sell it again... Will your credit amount be converted back again?? Nope right... So i think, maybe in the next eps, the mall is going to be loaded with 1,6 million yen... |

I'll just say this... If that does turn out to have been Ohsugi under the hood and his appearance was due to "illusion" that's just plain cheating on the part of the writers AFAIC. That wouldn't be playing fair with the audience. The misdirection with the briefcase and tie and socks, etc? That's fair - a nice bit of creative sleight-of-hand, if that's what it turns out to be.

I highly doubt that covering Ohsugi with a rapist's face was part of the illusion. The phone mentiosn 3 illusions, and based on the scene the 3 most probable are:
1. Diana levitating her target 2. Diana waving her hand ans smashing the windows 3. Diana getting wings and flying away Think about it, Diana readily admits to being some some sort of feminist vigilante. Unless Ohsugi was a rapist, there's no real reason to lie to Saki and cover him out. It is much more likely that it wasn't Ohsugi, and that being overly inebriated his bag was stolen by the rapist.

As for Diana's issue, it appears to be that she thinks "importing" beautiful foreign males will somehow decrease the amount of rape. Believe it or not, that seemed more weird to me than cutting off 20000 Johnny's. |

The guy under the hood is who he really is or else there would just be too many illusions.
Illusion #1: Wings Illusion #2: Flying Illusion #3: Levitating the "rapist" About the pics..Of course, the pics of the briefcase were definitely Ohsugi's due to the "chibi Saki" doll hooked onto it...but...what IF he was kidnapped by someone else? Think about it. Doesn't it seem kind've ridiculous that the rapist was able to post pictures online without even looking at the phone? What if he was just pressing random numbers hoping to achieve something but failed? For all we know, Ohsugi is probably tied to a chair/bed of some sort and was able to get clear eye contact with his phone and post the pictures online. The thing that rattles me is why he didn't call the police. |

Everyone is saying that Oosugi is dumb for not taking the hints from Morimi. But we don't know what the history is between those two. For all we know they make out in the club room when no one else is around. Or maybe they have gone on dates before. At one time Saki may have displayed some affection towards him in an attemp to stop loving her brother in law |

@Kaoru Chujo. Don't worry about it .

What I mean is the option is switched off by default. Basically that might be the reason, why he didn't receive any notice either, when Kondo killed those guys, or when the Supporter (supposedly) redirected Kondo's message for his wife. And there was no trace on Akira's phone either, when Hiura spent all his remaining money either. So I presume the option for noticing the transactions must be an optional feature, which Akira just started using now, because he is interested to find out who the others are (and who could have kidnapped Osugi in the first place). Of course future episodes might prove me wrong on that, but it is not so far-fetched for now. |

Considering all this I wouldn't be surprised if he forgot that you cannot change nobless oblige into cash, or that he thought you could transfer money between phones while it is not possible. Quote:
I have the feeling this is just one of the things that won't be explained, this is done for plot reasons and nothing else, maybe we are supposed to imagine that such notices happen all the time but they don't make us see them. Still I find it hard to believe that the other seleçao are inactive or in case they are not they really bother checking all and every move of the others anytime. Quote:

I don't believe she would jump out the window. Considering the whole performance was just a big illusion, Diana could have easily strolled out the door while Saki was tripping out. Who knows? It depends on how deep the actual illusion device can go.
Anyways, that was a really intense episode, probably one of my favorites yet. I've always wanted a Selecao vs. Selecao situation, but I never thought they were were going to take it past something like Kondo vs. Akira. Number XI is great too, I just love to hate her, and I knew she was going to be the perfect piece that links both the Akira and Saki stories. Now that Saki has had her first exposure to the world of Selecao, and now I can only wonder what direction this series would go next. Now way I can speculate now, since this series has proved to be unpredictable. Keep it up, you're still one of the best series this season. Quote:

So, is it usual for rapists to steal other people's stuff, especially when that said person is drunk and they just take their stuff away? Or was it only on this occassion?
Pretty bizarre. Red herring it is but hopefully there was nothing too important in Ohsugi's briefcase. Poor thing is probably passed out somewhere but it just sounds so silly that Akira and the gang wasted all their time to save their so-called Ohsugi who was actually just the typical rapist for Diana. |
