Spoilers from a reliable source...

I am not sure. I will update as I get it...

I'm just glad it wasn't a * in a box.


The truck thing is actually the shotacon contractor right? I hope it's not Yin because that looks ridiculous.

There was a correction...

I'm not going to use spoilers here in a single-episode thread, so here goes....



Hei couldn't see Yin, but Suou could. After Yin's ghostly form disappeared, Suou didn't tell Hei she'd seen it, and kicked the telephone pole she seemed to emerge from. Is Suou developing feelings for Hei? Earlier, after pondering the meaning of love, and Norio's feelings for her, the next image in Suou's mind was Hei: she thought of him stopping her from shooting at Yin's container, and also of the fact that he used her name (Suou) for the first time (I think).

Yin is being transported in the sub, in water. And you could see her ghostly form swimming along beside the sub, lol.

Norio's mom lassoed Suou with a tentacle of water, and demanded that she come along. Suou refused and summoned her gun, but Yin appeared and put Noriomom into a whirling globe of water that eventually killed her, right before her son's eyes -- and Norio thought Suou had done it. New contractor-like ability for Yin. To turn a contractor's ability against them? Or to manipulate water, the element she sees through?

I didn't find Norio's seiyuu, Nomura Katsuhito, very good in this episode. Couldn't feel the emotion he was simulating.

Best line for me was when Hei was cooking and poured the last of his sake into the pan to cook with Suou said: "No more sake?" Hei responded: "Yeah." (meaning "yes, no more sake.") Great intonation from his seiyuu, Kiuchi Hidenobu, giving the clear impression -- later seemingly confirmed -- that he planned not to drink any more.

Nice summary form sirn. Does Hei wanting Suou not to shoot any more mean that she may begin to use her powers in another way? Or that they may flow back to Hei?

Man, all these freakin people who want Hei to pair up with Yin or Suou..... they're way too young for him. His perfect match is Misaki!

We still don't really know how old is Yin unless I missed something, but I agree--Misaki is the perfect match for him. :heh:

I knew it. That they will put in the BOX. Yin probably evolved in something new inside gates, at least her observer apparition is. It could be all those dead bodies in memory scene was her work, maybe that's why Hei wants to kill her.
@nubby
I think it was ep 12 where Yin helped Hei escape from Pandora, Hei definitely saw her observer.
And most important Hei is cooking again and now he need only to get his mask and cloak.

I'm not saying what I want, just what I see. I agree about Misaki being a good choice, but I don't think he has any feelings of that kind for her, whereas he does have strong feelings for Yin -- at least as a sister, if not as more.

We'll see how things evolve. I think Kyouko told Misaki in this episode that she shouldn't think of them as her friends. It seems likely that Misaki and Hei may end up as a team, fighting everyone from the government to Madame Oreille, so feelings may start then.

The fact that Hei stopped Suou from shooting at Yin's container means to me that he does not want to kill Yin. And his tense conversation with Madame Oreille seems to indicate it may be her he wants to kill. Still not sure about "ano onna," lol.

I think Hei didn't see Yin this time because he has lost his contractor abilities.

He probably either wants to kill her himself or at least demands a valid explanation to why she left him before killing her.

And so do we. :heh:

I expect a ton of 'Yin in a box' pics on pixiv soon :heh:

I thought Yin was like 17 in the first season? I remember reading that somewhere on this forum. She'd be 5 years younger then Hei then?

I'm shocked. I'm starting to like Suou. That kick to the pole was the highlight of the ep for me.

I think Yin is 17, 18, and now, probably close to 20.

Hei/Suou is kinda wrong, though. Way too young. Misaki wouldn't be a bad choice, I suppose, but Hei has no feelings whatsoever for her unless the plot shifts and makes them buddies or something.

Yin in a box, like most people thought. Good to know, although it does look a bit ridiculous. I don't think she comes out of that box alive, though.
