Oh my god! I wonder what is going to happen to Tsukasa now? Will he be able to log out ever or will he be dead in every world!!! NNOOOOOOOOOO! Oh my god....Crim and Sora never ever finished the fight!!! Now I get to count this week down until next Saturday!

WOW! THAT WAS THE BEST EPISODE YET! CRIM AND SORA WERE SO SO SO GREAT. BUT THEY DIDNT FINISH THE FIGHT!!!!! AHHH! *DIES FROM WANTING-NESS* BUT I THINK THEY WILL SHOW WHAT HAPPENS ON NEXT WEEKS EPISODE, YOU KNOW HOW THEY ARE, THEY LEEVE YA HANGING IN ONE EPISODE AND SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT. IT WILL MOST LIKELY SHOW HOW THEY ESCAPED AND WHO WON THE FIGHT. I HOPE THEY DO. I THOUGHT THIS HAD A TON OF GOOD INFO, BUT I WISH THEY HAD MORE INFO ON THE "BROKEN MAN" THAT WAS A BIT CONFUSSING, BUT I THINK I UNDERSTOOD IT. I STILL REALLY HATE BT. SHE IS STEELING MY GUY!!! *GLOMPS CRIM* BUT SHE WAS REALLY CREEPY WHEN SHE MET UP WITH BEAR AND THEM, IT WAS CONFUSSING.
OVER ALL I SAY THIS HAD A LOT OF INFO AND GREAT ACTION. THATS MAINLY WHY I GAVE IT 10/10 PLUS IT HAD SOME GOOD HUMOR WITH CRIM AND SORA.

Well, I think the broken man gave Tsukasa the key...it never said it has to be an actual physical object so what that broken man said Tsukasa must have understood and it has to be Tsukasa for it to be the key of the twilight b/c if it was anyone else they wouldn't understand....as you see with Mimiru and Bear. So technically they key exists but only makes sense to Tsukasa and him only. What the man told him was to take care of his Daughter which is Aura, which Tsukasa only sees. I am for sure that in the coming episodes it will show what he meant by protect her, but that is my opinion so far!

Todays episode was very good. It added lots of storyline information and i think i get the link. The man who kept talking about his daughter i think might be the person who created the world, and he put aura, his daughter there as like a memorial or something, or maybe so that he could visit her anytime. from what he said it sounded like he created the world, programmed her in as she was nearing death. OR another possible theory is that the girl that bear kept talking about in a coma is acually aura and that the broken man who was auras father put aura into the game (like how tsucasa is stuck there) using the key of the twilight. just my thoughts.
i also thought then many other peoples talking point, the crim VS. sora battle was no big deal.
oh well! we will see what happens next week!

well, actually i thought the battle held some info on BT and Crim's plan on letting BT take the key for herself so Sora wont get it. Plus I thought it was the only part that had some humor. I thought th "battle line" conversation was great. about what Kaola Su said, I dont think he gave Tsukasa the Key, but he did give him info on Aura and to take care of her, but that makes me think. Maha wants Tsukasa to stay in the world, but he also wants him to stay in Aura's private area because he is afraid that he will be temted to leave the world. I have a feeling that the old man may be conected to Maha some how, because hes telling Tsukasa to protect her, and knowing Tsukasa, he propably would protect her and not come out of the domain to meet someone. Or, I think all of this.

Holy :eek:! Man oh man! That was so awesome. Easily one of the best episodes yet. [quote]BUT I THINK THEY WILL SHOW WHAT HAPPENS ON NEXT WEEKS EPISODE, YOU KNOW HOW THEY ARE, THEY LEEVE YA HANGING IN ONE EPISODE AND SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT. IT WILL MOST LIKELY SHOW HOW THEY ESCAPED AND WHO WON THE FIGHT. I HOPE THEY DO.[/quote] Well, I would hope they would show what happens [I]next[/I] on the [I]next[/I] episode. haha, I know: too psyched after that episode to think straight. You even spelled "leave" wrong! :) It's cool. Anyway, I don't think Crim and Sora finish the fight. They did stop when stuff was falling down, and as good as both of them are, I think they are smarter than staying in a strange place and then possibly getting killed. What happens if you die there? Who knows? And I don't think Crim and Sora would stick around to find out. [quote]I THOUGHT THIS HAD A TON OF GOOD INFO, BUT I WISH THEY HAD MORE INFO ON THE "BROKEN MAN" THAT WAS A BIT CONFUSSING, BUT I THINK I UNDERSTOOD IT.[/quote] Yeah, that was crazy info. I had my jaw dropped whenever anyone said something! haha, I know exactly who the "broken man" is, but also I know how to keep my mouth shut and not spoil it. ;) When you all figure out, we can talk about him. I'm sorry if it sounds like bragging, but I was SO amazed when I saw him. [quote] I STILL REALLY HATE BT. SHE IS STEELING MY GUY!!! *GLOMPS CRIM* BUT SHE WAS REALLY CREEPY WHEN SHE MET UP WITH BEAR AND THEM, IT WAS CONFUSSING.[/quote] Join the club. Yeah, we should really make a "I hate BT" club. Everyone would join. She's got issues. I hope everyone gets their fair turn to PK her since she is so easy to, haha. However, I don't think Crim was falling for her: just because he said he trusts her doesn't mean he likes her. Crim's simply a gentleman. Immature Sora was just trash talking.

As for BT's reaction with Bear: [quote]Well, I think the broken man gave Tsukasa the key...it never said it has to be an actual physical object so what that broken man said Tsukasa must have understood and it has to be Tsukasa for it to be the key of the twilight b/c if it was anyone else they wouldn't understand....as you see with Mimiru and Bear. So technically they key exists but only makes sense to Tsukasa and him only.[/quote] Although I disagree with this theory, I would have to say that the one difference between BT's meeting and Bear and company's meeting was Tsukasa. Personally, I don't think that's relevant, especially since Bear said the guy was just saying the same thing over and over. What could have spooked BT so much? Could it just have been the appearance the nonsensical babble of the "broken man?" You have to admit, in a video game, seeing an upside-down man in such a strange place would be freaky, especially with that out-of-place sound resonating here and there. You know something was up, haha. I think BT was just spooked by it all.

As I said before, I disagree with the key of the twilight idea. Tsukasa just said he figured it out, probably referring to the babbling of the "broken man" since he's the only (normal) person who knows of or has seen Aura. I don't think the key would be a riddle because that's not much of a key, haha. Besides, I think the Key of the twilight would be-I don't know-more twilight-ish. I don't know how to explain it. [quote]What the man told him was to take care of his Daughter which is Aura, which Tsukasa only sees. I am for sure that in the coming episodes it will show what he meant by protect her, but that is my opinion so far![/quote] Yeah, take care of Aura. She is their only hope, whatever that means, haha. I wonder what he meant by that (the whole protect and hope bit).

Lastly, I would like to say the games blend-in amazingly well! [spoiler]Bitter Fantasy Mirrorworld? Dude, you go there! I did a double-take when I heard that, and then when I saw it, haha. That tuning fork sound: holy fudge![/spoiler] This episode gave a lot more information than you think if you've played the games.

One thing I've realized: while Kite can hack gates, Tsukasa can only bypass them. Thought I'd put that out.

yeah, making a we hate BT club isnt a bad idea. heehee. The thing that made me think of BT getting Crim was when Sora said quote: "She played you, lover boy." end quote. Thats what really made me mad. Grrr...... we should make a we hat Sora and BT clup XD
leeve..... XD im real smart. I think they will show it, because it would be kind of stupid to just go to the next episode, i mean, you wouldnt even know how they escaped the castle. I understand what you said about Crim and Sora may not continue the fight because the place is collapsing. Now, Crim wouldnt seem the kind to stay and fight during that, but you never know with Sora. He may want to kill Crim before he dies himself.
I also dont get how Aura is their only hope. Maybe to Tsukasa she is their only hope, but im not sure she is anyone elses.....

well, thats another odd theorie i have. I dought its true, but maybe the "broken man" can like read minds or something, and maybe he started haunting BT kinda like how he freaked out Bear when he said. "Im sorry i wasnt a good father" or something like that. Like i said, I dont think im right, but it seems to be the only explanation right now.

Well, things are starting to get interesting. What we saw of the fight between Sora and Krim was great, but unfortunately, we won't be seeing the rest of it next week (next week there's a recap episode). [spoiler] The broken man is Aura's creator-- he is composed of fragments of data left over from the original version of The World-- spoilers rock. [/spoiler] A lot of interesting points were brought up in the broken man's conversation with Tsukasa, Bear, and Mimiru, and this conversation should be kept in mind while watching later episodes (IMO, anyway). By the way, [spoiler] the "father" reference will make more sense in a few episodes. [/spoiler]

My main question last night after watching it was: What happened to BT? Did the sight of the broken man trigger a bad memory for her or something?

Well, all in all, a great episode.

Note: Don't read the spoiler unless you simply can't wait to find out who the broken man is.

That was (IMO) the best episode yet. And the cliff-hanger at the end kicked ***, even more then last week's.

The sudden fear that Mimiru showed while hanging from the walkway did a great job of showing how realistic the world can seem to a person's mind durning a crisis.

Also the fight between Sora and Krim was great, even though it seemed like more of a word fight then an actual battle.

Finally, once more BT made me wish I could reach into the screen, grab her neck and throttle her.
