This episode really turned things around. The premise was starting to get a little stale but this was a great episode. It's always nice to seea hero get his ass kicked for real and abrely survive.

On the topic of Wiseman/White Wizard, if they pull another Virgo with him I will be incredibly pissed. That story worked great for Emoto/Tachibana/Virgo having them play both sides. It would be incredibly lazy and uninspired to see them do that again.

Yeah, you can see her in the flashback as one of the nurses.

Hilariousness:

Right in the doughnuts.:lol

Was that her? I kinda assumed it, but I don't remember there being any dialogue between the two to suggest that. Oh well.

Like the past couple of episodes, this one seemed to just fly by. Overall, I like it well enough. The story continues to hold my interest, so that's a plus.

I thought last week that the reason the phantom lit a house on fire to destroy the gate was only because the writers couldn't cross the line and set a kid ablaze. After seeing the mom brutality
in this episode, I'm worrying that that may not be far off :eyebrow

Only thing is. . .if the White Wizard is actually Wiseman then who sent Haruto the new stone (in a white box, carried by a white Garuda)

Other things I enjoyed about this episode:

-Wiseman chills much like the witch at the end of Suspiria, I see.

-I laugh so much whenever the audio cue for the Kraken summon comes on. :)

I really liked this episode, but I'd like it more if Shunpei wasn't in it.

This show needs more Shunpei.

But then he wouldn't have gotten kicked in the nuts and that was worth seeing. :D
