Abusive relationship?

Minnie: I am so excited for this episode! What will happen to Zwei and Ein? Will Inferno catch them? Will romance blossom between them? What happen to Scythe Master? Too many questions! Anyways, after spending all day typing my story, it is about time I get a break and watch this episode right?

Minnie’s Overall Rating for Episode: 9/10

Minnie’s Anticipation for Next Episode: 10/10

Thoughts: Another great episode by Bee Train and another great episode for Phantom altogether. Even though the start is interesting, it was a bit slow. I’m glad that it’s finally picking up and going all out from here on. I love the conversation between Ein and Zwei. Or should I say Eren and Reiji? Next episode- will Eren choose her Master over Reiji? We’ll see!

Because I have no idea what I want to do with my space here, I’ll post all my favorite lines/moments from this episode.

I don’t know about everyone else but I adore this scene. There’s something very brave and very loyal about ripping the only paper evidence you have of who you are to shreds. He wants to prove that he is on equal grounds with Eren. Since Reiji is doing this for Eren, it makes me fangirl like mad on the inside.

This scene is very powerful in my opinion. For a second there, both Reiji and I thought that they have taken Eren away. However, it turns out that she is try to kill herself in the bathroom but has no courage to pull the trigger. It’s like Zero and Yuuki all over again. Zero asks Yuuki to kill him if he becomes a Level E. Since Eren has nothing left and feels painful about it, she asks the person she trusts the most to kill her- Reiji. More love for this couple~

3) Eren ponders on what is her meaning in life

Now that she has no more orders from her Master, Eren doesn’t know what to do with her life. Her life has no more meaning. She has no role to play. She wants to die. However, Reiji is trying to prove to her that she shouldn’t die over what happened. Both of them have killed so many to live so they can’t give up their lives now. Even though Eren is empty, she opens up to Zwei which I find is sweet.screenshot-5_29_2009-2_06_44-amscreenshot-5_29_2009-2_06_55-am

4) The decision Reiji makes

This one is simple. Eren asks if they were caught by the Organization, who would he shoot at if he had the choice. Reiji’s answer is predictable and lovable: them. He would save Eren no matter what~!

Since Phantom’s previous name is a mere number, Reiji decides to give her a name to start a new life with him. He randomly thinks of Eren so now we can no longer call Ein that name. Her name is Eren from now on and even if she dies by the end of the episode, she will be known as Eren. I hope not though. I want these two to live happily ever after~

After much searching, Lizzie finally tracks down Reiji and beats him up for information on Scythe. However, Reiji really doesn’t know where he is. He is finally left alone with Ms. McCunnen who wants to sleep with him. She gives him an option to make this possible- kill Scythe and he agrees to, not because he wants to sleep with McCunnen but because he wants to save Eren from that crazy bastard.

This one is open for now but will he rape her? Will he experiment on her? What will this crazy scientist dude do? We’ll have to wait next episode to see! I want Eren and Reiji to be together! Please?

    Another great episode. I can’t wait for the incoming confrontation between Zwei/Reiji and Scythe Master.

    Ah, and just my 0.02 cents:

    Please, please don’t call Ein as Eren… that’s a bad mispelling from funimation. In both, the original game and the DVDPlay english version the name Reiji gave her is ELEN… E-L-E-N.

    Besides, if i’m not mistaken Elen is a girl’s name and Eren is a boy’s name. So, it will be better to call her Elen, instead.

    Oh! Thank you for telling me that! I’ll call her Elen instead. ^_^
