[/spoiler]

Score: A+/A+

Oh holy! Pass me that paper bag, imma gunna hyperventilate now. Shouma! My poor Shouma! I did want Ringo to wake up and smell the coffee beans but GOD DAMMIT, not like this! D: WHERE do I start with his episode because my frustration levels have reached new heights with this episode. Frustration towards a character and their….stubbornness and their supreme thick headedness. GYAH RINGO. I WANT TO SLAP YOU INTO NEXT WEEK! You stupid STUPID STUPID GIRL. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

The Shouma getting hit? ALL YOUR FAULT. You and your stupid were the cause of him being hurt like that and if he dies….OH IF HE DIES I HOPE Kanba will punch you out. Hell, I’m STILL gonna hope that he WILL punch your sorry scrawny little ass in the next episode. HOW has she NEVER thought that she can NEVER be Momoka. Momoka was Momoka and she is herself, she can NEVER replace or be her older sister. To think that she can do is so STUPID. STUPID STUPID STUPID. And secondly, she wants to restore her family back to the way it was? WAKE UP AND SMELL THE WEEK OLD ROSES GIRL. Your family cannot go back to the way it was! NEVER. If her Dad hadn’t proposed to that other lady, I’d have reckoned that she mighta had a chance. BUT NO. There is no chance. Her Dad has clearly moved on. As has her mother. Ringo is living in the past and she needed a wake up call of epic proportions to open those damn foolish eyes of hers. Course I never wanted or expected an act like this which would force her to face reality. I was hoping/thinking that someone would literally slap her and then yell at her/some sense into her. This….NO.

SHOUMA! MY POOR BABY! TELL ME YOU ARNT DEAD! YOU CANT DIE! ITS ONLY THE 8TH EPISODE! MY HEART CANNOT TAKE THIS *cries in her corner*

Other things that I cant take. Project…MATERNITY? SERIOUSLY? Oo;;;; Who is supposed to get pregnant AND WITH THAT? I keep thinking that it means that it signals the birth of some great Penguin King OTL But…SERIOUSLY? So…when Natsume said that she is also working to get Project M into gear, does that mean that she wants the same thing that Ringo does? And that Kanba could somehow be the key to Project M NOT being put into effect? And how does the penguindrum play into this? And the penguin spirit…does she want Project M to come into effect as well? Maybe its her who wants to come into this world and like will take over the kid once its born and then take over the world or something? Or is that all way too crazy?

This episode made me pity Ringo a bit. Shes had the unfortunate luck to over hear stuff that she has no business over hearing. Starting from that conversation between her parents and ending with her Dad proposing to another lady. But that feeling is fleeting if I’m honest. Because EVERY TIME she opens her mouth and starts RAVING about destiny and it being her fate, I just want to shove a gag into that stupid mouth of hers T_T I mean…has she heard herself talking? She sounds like one of those crazed zealots T_T You just back away from em as quick as you can! Cause you KNOW that they are CRAZIER than a barrel full of monkeys high on CRACK.

I have a theory on the boys and Himari….maybe Himari isnt their biological sister. I think that Himari’s parents and the boys parents used to be very good friends and Himari’s parents died when she was very very young and then the Takakura’s took her in/adopted her. And the boys were told that from now on, Himari would be their sister. Himari is not aware therefore that she is not related to the boys but THEY know that they arnt. And they both are in love with her but they want to stay a family/follow Himari’s wishes! Crazy theory? I think its not as crazy as it might appear. What Ringo taunts Shouma with in this episode clearly hints that them being a family is nothing but an illusion that the boys are fighting to maintain.

  I totally agree with you! I can’t stand Ringo and Shoma is my absolute favorite character! I just saw this ep and I couldn’t believe what they did to Shoma, for HER! Not even for Himari, but for Ringo he get’s hurt. I don’t think Kamba can survive two crazy penguin spirit things reviving his family. Plus I like Shoma, he wants to do the right thing, and doesn’t want anyone to get their feelings hurt. I was surprised that he got angry at Ringo and pushed her, but she was acting insane in the membrane, even worse than usual. I really can’t stand her messed up delusions.

  Shouma has to be my favorite human character for sure (overall favorite has to be No.2, that little silly) ikr! I saw it coming and just slapped my hand over my eyes! I hope Ringo feels guiltier than hell about this T_T else imma be super pissed! …oh holy HELLS I hadnt even thought of that D8 Kanba REALLY wouldnt be happy if THAT happened D: AYE! It WAS surprising that Shouma got mad like that but on the other hand, it was a long ways coming. Ringo was pretty much dangling him around and playin him like a puppet so…she had it coming a long ways. YEP I really cant either. When Shouma was crawling towards her and all the stuff he says…I was just yelling “YES! THAT! THANK YOU!”

  I gotta say this was a powerful episode. I hate to say it but it kinda makes sense that Ringo would go bat shit crazy and pull a stunt like she did in desperation.

  I mean its easy to ask someone who is close to their parents to “accept” that their dad has moved on, but its hardly as easy as that. Some people NEVER get over the fact that their parents divorce, or leave them. Its a very powerful feeling, and one that has driven people to do crazy things. Its at the forefront of this story.

  Ringo cracking this episode and going totally off the bend? Yeah it happened. But on top of not succeeding with Tabuki, she saw her dad propose to another woman. Its reasonable to think she’d lose it.

  I gotta say, Shouma is easily the most awesome guy ever. Not only did he stop Ringo from doing some of the worst things she could ever do in her life, but he sacrificed himself and saved her.

  I’m not sure if he’s dead or not, but if he is dead… Wow @ this series. It really doesn’t pull any punches, and really anything can happen. This is one of the reasons I love the show.

  I am personally thinking that Kanba could become a part of Project M by being the father? I dunno. I guess it’ll all be revealed slowly. What I do know is that it was probably Kanba that stole that half of the Penguin Drum.

  Your theory on Himari makes total sense, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you were right on the ball with it. I’m definitely interested to see where the series goes from here, and if Shouma survives.

• Sweety8587

  Yep, it totally makes sense for Ringo to pull her crazy because her world/plan was coming unhinged and she was desperate to get it back togeter (too late on that one)

  Yeah thats very true but a lotta people dont do the crazy that Ringo’s been doing…I feel bad for her really. I think maybe part of the show’s message is how we go to great lengths to keep our…plans/lives/lies/family? I think that applies greatly to Ringo and the siblings :O

  Hells yeah on Shouma. He’s a different kind of BAMF compared to Kanba but a BAMF none the less. AND I DONT WANT HIM TO DIE D: And i dunno if I really want him to or not…I mean, it would be….near unheard of if he does die so early on in the series or goes into a coma (which i might yell as being a shortcut solution) but my heart really wants him to still be alive ;_;

  I had the same scary thought bout Kanba. That perhaps the reason why Natsume wants to take Kanba out is because if he becomes the father in Project M, HER plans are gonna get screwed up so THATS why she wants to take him out (however, I personally think that even if Natsume plans to make that happen….it won’t. maybe because Fate’s ‘trajectory’ is gonna against her and…what is meant to happen will happen y’ know?)

  …wait, you think it was Kanba on the bike? Oo i dunno…what reason would be have to pull a stunt like that? I think it was Natsume and her people, they have more reason to pull a stunt like that. Kanba’s the kinda guy who’d have gone straight up to Ringo’s face and sneaked it out from her possession/flirted it outta her or woulda been realllllly aggressive with her to get it..
