Guilty Crown - Weapons? Human evolution? Apocalypse? WTF?!

by feal8715. December 2011 22:23

Hello everyone,

Here we are to talk about the 10th episode of the anime series Guilty Crown, that finally with this episode marks the start of the real plot of the story and the final arc of this first half of the series!

I'm expecting big changes from the end of this first half and all my bets are on Gai dying leaving Shu to guide the rebels toward victory.

While this is a clichè development, it's at the same time a necessary one because Gai is the biggest obstacle to Shu's growth (together with the completely pathetic Shu personality of course)

Guilty Crown

The episode start off showing us a terribly depressed Shu who is scared of extracting the void out of Inori and makes one of Gai's plan fail putting the rebels life at risk.

Here is where Hare personality shines trying to comfort and keep Shu's personality afloat. Unfortunately for us, Shu has a really annoying personality and end up going nuts after touching any human being (even cute girls!)...

I can understand the shock of having "killed" another "human being" (both things are debatable), but hey try to get hold of yourself man! :|

This! Hare becomes my final favourite character after this scene! Someone need to punch some sense into Shu and it seems Hare will be the girl to do it!

He was trying to use Hare as a "replacement" for Inori and that's the most despicable thing he could do in that moment. Just forget about that clone already if you want to go back to your normal life!

If you want to keep living the "rebel" life just pick up your weapon and go fight ok?! PLEASE STOP WHINING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

Guilty Crown

Ok, ranting aside the episode gives us a lot of interesting developments. We now know that Gai and Shu knew themselves from the childhood and that Inori is a clone of the girl they knew from many years ago.

This girl has gone berserk during the Lost Christmas incident and is strickly linked with the stone shown in this episode as they say that "she is going to wake up now".

We also know that the whole Lost Christmas incident may be something artificially created by a foreign power to get control of Japan (or maybe it was simply an "experiment" done to test some alien technology)

Ah, Haruka (and probably Shu's father as well) is implicated with all these happenings and was hiding everything from Shu...

Guilty Crown

Concluding, Guilty Crown has picked up the pace again and is starting to get interesting developments.

I just hope Shu will improve his personality soon, I don't know how much more whining I can bear...:P

See you soon,

I'd accept anything that makes Shu grows up (except Hare's death) so well...


Try to think about bearing other 11 episodes of him whining the whole time...try to think about it...

Perfectly fine with both Gai and Hare dying at this point. If it shuts Shu up, do it!

I'm not convinced he's dead (yet)...he didn't exactly turn to dust like other people who contracted the Apocalypse Virus in the streets.

If he dies he will in a spectacular way, he's one of the main characters after all...

I'm also thinking Inori's blood stop the Apocalypse Virus rate of infection...

Shu is so frustrating. I laughed when Hare slapped him, I was hoping she would.

The stuff at the start of the episode about Shu's sister was nice to see too and it totally explains why Shu's mother has a photo of the mysterious girl.

We now know that Haruka is involved in the project and she is not clean! I wonder what all this means...

I think either she'll refute Shu's father and join the moral side to support Shu, or get brain-washed and present as an obstacle to Shu at some point.

Yeah, plus it'll be extremely annoying to see Shu cry because mommy is in the way.
But, we'll see, been said, but I'll say it again...this is getting good :3

Epic episode, and aside from the annoying Shu points, I'm almost foaming at the mouth with excitement to see how the next episode goes.
I think the "master plan" may have something to do with eliminating the Japanese people, it would explain the space laser and wanting to unleash a virus on the people. Probably playing into some theme of racism or supremacy.
Or maybe the "Chief" will drop some information later about something worth controlling in Japan, which "justifies" killing everyone.
I don't know, and that's why I love it. :3 The unforeseeable plot turns and dramatic crisis.  :3

Ahahah, Shu is the main problem of the series. Fix him and we fix everything! EVERYTHING!


I don't think its about killing japanese people, but more some research on the Gundam 00 level to "advance humanity" to another level....


I wonder how Haruka will justify in front of Shu...

I'm loving it as well, they finally started with some good plot...

12/16/2011 12:26:34 AM #

Yes, finally, plot!
That's gonna have to be some damn good reasoning for "advancing humanity" by targeting a specific demographic of humanity to unleash a virus upon.

Experiments on human beings? That's the most likely answer here...

beldenotaku

I think experimentation may be a part, but I get the feeling of something much more sinister in the works.  Maybe, in the end, it'll be some prolific conflict of people needing to chose for themselves if they'll grow and change, or if they'll stay the same. Much like Shu needs to do now.

Dammit Shu, just when I thought, yay he's almost near the level of a decent main character, he goes off crying about and gets unintentionally rejects (or gets rejected) by two nice girls. He also got verbally disowned by Gai and Kana (teh voice is what matters to meh)

But then again, realism. The first kill is the most traumatic.

He's just an idiot man. I think they've done a great job to portray him as the most hateful angst male character of history...


Nope, he killed a lot of other guys before with his big sword, a lot of poor drones of the army.

I just found out that Gai is actually Alt*

I hoped those two will be finally together and he had to betray his fairy like that

I know what'll happen next, Inori will safe the gala...cure the virus with a song, well it's still more original than what we saw so far...oh wait


the show it at least good for some lulz

I couldn't bare the levels of whining and why even Hare, why. At the end I thought Shu would be as cool as Shingo, but no, he deserved that bitch slap

When Gai pulled the gun at Shu I just had to laugh, that was so bad.

So the virus is activated by a song and it affects Inori as well...*sigh*

Ahahah, I don't know why, but I think you're right. That could be true, Inori may save everyone with a song and that would song the requiem of this series...


Hare has done a wonderful job with that slap! Now up to make an upper-cut Hare! GoGOGo! XD

Well, we'll see what will happen now...I'm curious to be honest...

"And Shu is who?!"
don't care but you can check the wiki for his VA

well the nearest character for him is Shion - No. 6

at the end I had to laugh when the Tokyo Tower started singing, people crystallized then broke into pieces and the pieces flew into a black hole in the sky, c'mon wtf deculture

I would welcome the death of Gai if it meant Shu would grow as a character but I don't want it to be merely Shu growing into Gai's role.  I want Shu to blaze his own path and be what he wants to be.  He's expressed interest in becoming someone like Gai but the presumed reasons seem to be 'because he has Inori and I want Inori'.  Still, it seems like this episode will mark the beginning of Shu's progress as a character which is a definite positive in my eyes.

That's what I hope as well, but till this point the writer really disappointed me so I'm not sure what will rally happen.
Yep, that's likely the reason, but at the same time its about "he is cool and he never fails!".

We'll see next week that will probably be a big and bad action episode.

no, if Gai dies did you think of Arisa that poor thing, I want Gai X Arisa HAPPY END

and if Gai didn't die in that blast the last time, then the only thing that can kill him is the revenge of a woman for betrayal


if Gai would die wouldn't that make Shu even more whiny...

Arisa! She looks so eager to be with Gai, but at the same disappointed after she get the bad news about his real motivations...


Not sure man, at this point I'd accept anything as long as Shu grows up from his whiny position.

well Arisa was shocked because she knew he didn't meant her but maybe that woman isn't his lover...oh wait, triangle


maybe he would man up if Inori would let him...take advantage
that should help him more than anything else...

It's like, they WANT us to hate Shu. I've gotta say, it's working like a charm. How dare he do that to Hare >.<

The episode in itself had some pretty good development, and may have shown us the real puppetmaster (Keido maybe) but damn, Shu's the worst.

Few things:

As everyone agrees and sees, Shu is a horrible main character.
Hare is awesome.

Also love the way they portray Americans: http://animeanthology.com/images/American.jpg

Smilie face medal, above the influence badge and an American belt. Just like America.

Shu! how much deeper can you fall!!! I started to like him after episode 4 but what he did this time, was totally up the pole ^w^
I don't think it is a good idea to present the main character in such a despicable way, he's not even a bit likeable.

In many shounen anime, the shining Hero should finally arrive, after overcoming the emo breakdown. so there's still hope ^^

As for the rest of this episode wtf!? lets start world dominance?

Hare slap was wonderful at least...


...and I don't think any fabulous thing he may do in the rest of the series can make him become a better character after all this shit...


Well, we're halfway in and no hero. I'm starting to be scared...


I was wtf as well, sudden development after weeks of nothing...:O
