As usual your humanitarian works are legendary! I shall gladly accept those cans of coffees.

Looking forward to episode 3.

Episode 3, still awesome as usual.

Spoiler:

- Mao survived because his memory is outside of his body and is now working with "that woman".
- Mao comes to Hei for telling him about a change of the plan.
- Hei has lost all his ability. Nika is dead by the hands of Tanya. July joining Hei.
- Suou awakening as a contractor, I suspect it's some kind of molecular manipulation just like Hei, but she used it to summon a rifle. Her compensation is to make a paper crane?
- Mao: "What about Yin?" Hei: "About Yin—I'll kill that woman."

Spoiler for spoiler:

July joining Hei? That's one i didn't c coming but i ain't suprised at the part where Hei loses his ability. Somehow i'm wishing now that he awakens some sort of a new stronger ability.

Golgo: Sorry for interrupting~ (　^ω^)

Spoiler for ep3:

Okay! Tanya, die 10 times. Then die 30 more times in Hell. Then die 100 more times in whatever realm you fall too. Okay~? (　^ω^)
Nike...

And to top it off, Suou became a contractor after all... Ah~ah~ah~ah...
*opens up a snapshot of Sasha*
.............................
.................................................. ..................
.....................................
.................................................
...................................

By the way, it was bad enough before, but now... Rifle materialization that reminds me of some mahou shoujo transformation scene...
The powers really are all over the place... Next time, why don't they just create a character that can control space and time?

And why is July joining them anyways...?
Also, so Mao is now in the squirrel's body... How? Feels too much like a setting forcibly placed for the 2nd season...

Misaki is giving up her job to join Golgo?

It was a good episode, in an interesting-meaning. The actual plot... Well, have my worries, but we'll see... Lost a few interest points now that Suou has become a Contractor and Nike got killed like that.
Reminded me of The Mummy... Egak...

EDIT: Not as hilarious as Phantom's "Ahh~ Ahh~" BGM, but the voiced BGMs this episode...

Not really. Just another scene of Hei trying to catch a naked Yin. Hei also tried to rape Suou again (who was completely naked this time) too, but Contractors are allowed to molest young girls (according to Hei himself previous episode), so all a days work for the Black Hobo.

Hei: "Stop it Yin, Streakers aren't allowed to walk like that in the world!"
Yin: Sorry Hei, but this is my true nature.... *runs of into the wild*
Hei: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Damn it, i wish they would spill it out already.... the truth about Yin's "betrayal"

I know who to blame if people are suddenly aspiring to become contractors.

Don't listen to Serenade. He is exaggerating.... well... somewhat. As for Tanya...... gosh! I'm sure contractors like her are giving them a bad name. *shakes fist furiously*

Suou was stellar in the episode. A passive observer who fancies reaction of other people in difficult situation would be amazed at Suou, a 13 year old coping with adversities and ingrained ethical dilemma. To kill, or not to kill. Ha!

I've really enjoyed Suou's character thus far. And Hei.... He is truly one of the better contractor out there who is still as effective even if his abilities betraying him. The dude is a non-hesitant killing machine. I was quite alarmed when he pinned Suou on her front to expose her back. Hobo Hei is finally giving into the temptation? So relieved to see he just wanted tie her hand. I'm also ashamed to recognize that my mind is in the gutter..

Well, anyway.. very enjoyable episode. Looks like things will slow down in the next. And someone please kill Tanya. Preview also showed a Nika look a like, this time with long dreads for hair style. Some screens:

I'm actually surprised we haven't seen this 4-koma yet.

Well that's just great. Yin is my favorite girl in the series and now it seems the redhead is taking her place (please let me be wrong) TT.TT
Okay so maybe that's a bit dramatic since I haven't even started watching the second season but still...I'm not very happy with what I'm hearing.
At least there's Hei^^
Thanks Monir for the screen caps! I can't watch the episode yet so...

[konart]

Damn, I'm out for Tanya.

It could also mean he caused Yin's death.

And yeah, loved the episode. Hei once again proves he's still The Black Reaper even without his contractor abilities

[qwertyman]

I didn't really like this episode because Hei didn't have his God mode on. I actually got kind of depressed when he forgot that he lost his powers and tried using them anyway.

And no coat, either. No coat!

How so? The way Hei said it, sounds like Yin is alive and dandy. Yin must have done something to agitate Hei this much.

You are most welcome!

Spoiler:

He said「俺は銀を・・・あの女を殺す」(Ore wa Yin wo... Ano Onna wo Korosu) which can be either:
- Yin is still alive somewhere, and Hei is going to kill her.
- Yin is dead, and Hei is going to kill "that woman" who make her died.

If he want to imply or blame himself that he has killed Yin, it should be「俺は銀を・・・あの女を殺した」(Ore wa Yin wo... Ano Onna wo Koroshita) unless I'm wrong, of course .

Sounds right to me. That part confused me so I'm waiting to see how subbers translate it.

I have to wait for the subs to get a clearer picture on the subject, but I agree with your statement.
