Yep. The real one. Dad confirms that the one that died in Ep01 was only a copy, and that the one here now is the real one. He also says something like "even if you're a copy, you'll always be Suou to me". He's quite a nice fellow.

Also, it looks like Shion is in some kind of trouble too by the end of the ep. Suou finds him lying unconscious in the floor at the aquarium (not inside the aquarium -- in the viewing area).

I didn't get any hints, but maybe I missed it. Lots of stuff I couldn't get there without subs .

Better put that in a spoiler tag.

But......yeah, I also burst out laughing when I read that. It can't be possible, so most likely it's a cliffhanger and we'll get to see what actually happened in the last episode.

News on the preview?

Am I reading this right? Suou getting trampy for Hei?

Can't see the images since I'm at work, but maybe Misaki should've done this sooner, maybe then Hei would notice her

I think they mean "cook," not "cock." We saw Hei in the episode 11 preview cooking after all, and it would make waaaaaaaaay more sense than.......you know...........

Ah, cooking. Forgot about that. All I saw was 'short shorts' and 'collarbones' and thought, '/a/'s going to have a field day with this'

This freaks me out a little

[Statonxyb]

RC post is up on the site

On the Hazuki/Hei...

Spoiler for Last scene:

"Hei was unfortunately absent for most of the episode, but it did cliffhanger on him fighting Hazuki (and her looking like she’s about to cut his head off)."

[Kaoru Chujo]

This episode flew by, for me. I thought about ten minutes had passed and was shocked to realize it was almost over.

more bits of recap:

-- pre-OP: the blue-light Yin-thing seems to be killing contractors again. she is surrounded by contorted bodies of them in the flower-field.

-- Hei is cooking. Suou comes in, in short-shorts and a happy-face shirt and slightly blushing. she wants to help him make dumplings -- Russian version of nikuman -- and pushes him out of the way, telling him to go make the soup.
-- after eating, Hei goes off to do his own thing and slightly unwillingly agrees to return (he's off to find Yin). Suou realizes she has her own thing to do: find Shion
-- section three is closing in on "Dr. Pavlichenko's child." Genma and Misaki in an armored personnel carrier. Suou goes to aquarium area and finds Papa, who says a fake papa was the one that died. "Like me," she says. Papa is surprised and upset that she knows, and calls her mother "irresponsible, as always." Shion was a contractor from birth, with the ability to reproduce things. Suou wasn't there in Siberia until the meteor hit and Shion, lying on the ground there, called her name and recreated her, using his own memories. Papa filled in early memories from ME. the aquarium memory was "a gift" from Shion, says papa. "Not much of a gift," spits out Suou.
-- July realizes section three are coming (through the twins?) and leads them away. they encounter Genma in human form. Papa shoots at him and they escape. they are hiding in aquarium building when armored Genma comes after them. Suou faces him and shoots him a couple of times, but he tosses her aside, then picks her up when she tries to get rifle. finally she throws concrete dust in his eyes and shoots him in head.
-- Misaki meets Power Ranger Oreille, who guns down a contractor with what looks like a ray-gun version of the Yin-weapon. she tells Misaki they should get out of there, since that fleet of helicopters coming is the CIA.
-- Suou returns to Papa/Mao/July. Papa is bleeding badly and says he's just happy to have seen her again, and that she is the real Suou to him, then dies. July leads them away just before a revived Genma shows up, followed immediately by John Smith and the CIA. Smith stops Genma from smashing Dr. P with his granite fist, because they want to squeeze Dr.P's memories.
-- Hei has entered the gate and found Yin's empty prison/case. then he is attacked by Hazuki, and seems surpised and defenceless before her blade. end of ep.

post-ED:
-- Misaki comes upon Suou, July and Mao. they enter the underground chamber where Hei and Wei fought in season one...and find Oreille and the twins already there. Mao and Oreille used to be lovers. then Suou goes missing and the twins say they (Suou and Shion) are connected, and this is the gate, where anything can come true.
-- Suou enters the (recreated) aquarium viewing area and finds Shion on the ground by his wheelchair, apparently at least unconscious

Why is Shion unconscious i wonder... :/ He was refered as Izanagi. If he dies than..Than what? And, if Yin is already on rampage
, it's already catastrophic enough. xD

[Amirali]

some screen caps

Spoiler for screencaps:

suspicious shot is suspicious.

Genma you pedo! but I'm glad he didn't die.

See? He looks really really dead. Scared me at first.



Cut to black right after.

Spoiler for picture:

Madam Orielle got a phone call and she didn't answer, and the phone sparked when she dropped it. Like electricity. and now she has a space gun with the power to take away a contractors powers, which looks like the thing that stole Hei's electricity power....of course it could just be sparking because it's an electric phone....but I don't think so.

Hopefully they are low.

[serenade_beta]

What a lame spacesuit... From the future?...

It was an OK episode... There were a few parts that felt like unintended comedy though.
Also... Don't tell me Suou's dad is just going to die like this...? By some random Contractor who will probably not ever be touched on for the rest of the series (AKA, 1 episode left)?

[Vanehei]

No one said that....

Spoiler for They are back:

Im talking about the delicious collarbones

Somebody's a hater.

Seriously though, she's gotten such little screentime that if they were to kill her off next episode......it would be like killing a nameless grunt. Which would slaughter the whole drama that they've been building up with her involvement in the plot. Hei hasn't even found her yet and there's still half a dozen other things to cover, so unless Bones is trying to shoot down this series.......

But I'm smelling...........a possible season 3. There's just so much left to do, and they only have one episode to do it? We have the Hei/Hazuki fight, explanation on Shion's plans, Oreille's plans, what is Section 3, Hei has to find Yin, and he needs to do whatever he's going to do about her, and then whatever happens to our characters afterwards. Way too much for one episode. Things would have to wrap up way too fast to finish in one episode and have a finale.

So we may have been wrong about the series length (as far as I know, an episode number still hasn't been officially announced) and/or

a) Bones is prepping for a season 3
b) This is going to be 13 or 14 episodes
c) A bunch of the stuff I listed actually isn't going to happen at all (like Oreille and section 3 won't be explained, stuff like that)
d) They really are trying to shoot down this series by making this happen too fast

Of course I'm perfecty open to pleasant surprises. I just haven't the slightest idea how they can properly fit all that's left into just a single episode. And besides, I prefer more DtB anyway.

Episode thoughts to come later.

I agree ;_;

Maybe this is somehow going to be a...well, what do you call it in english ? Ah, a teaser for the upcoming OVA. After this series end, you might end up wondering more about what happened during the time gap between the seasons...

And after you watch all the OVAs, you'll start wondering about what will happen in the future (season 3) BONES is trying to come up with such strategical marketting...perhaps ? But I think everyone here thinks the same Maybe some of the explanation that haven't been explained in this series will be implied in the upcoming OVA (implied because, it's a prequel and because of that, the event in season 2 shouldn't have happened yet.) But they're still going to have some mystery left in which I hope will be explained in season 3.....

i hope ;_;

There's always the OVA route. End the series on a cliffhanger to be completed on the DVD/BD.

Or do a theatrical movie. That's what Eden of the East did.

Looking for the raws now...

[qwertyman]

I'll bite. I don't feel strongly about Suou one way or the other, but I thought she was cute in the kitchen scene. It warmed my heart.

[orion]

But when did they go shopping for the change of clothes?

And get a load of that kitchen....in a safe house no less.

Her blushing when she saw Hei in the kitchen was too cute.
