Summary:
Kazumi is having trouble sleeping because her mind is on Yuuji and Yukari/Shana, so she takes her dog for an early morning walk. She just so happens across the two of them, who are up admiring a view of the stars together after a training session. Meanwhile, Tiriel and Shudonai have a strategy meeting about the Cradle Garden, which Tiriel feels is invincible. During lunch, Ike, who had heard from Kazumi about what she had seen that morning, raises the subject with Yuuji, but Kazumi stops him and then runs off crying. Yuuji later guesses (correctly it seems) that Ike likes Kazumi. Meanwhile, Kazumi is crying to herself when Shana walks by. Kazumi calls Shana unfair, and accuses her of liking Yuuji. Kazumi then herself declares that she likes Yuuji and then effectively declares war over him. Under pressure, Shana almost admits that she likes Yuuji, but then a fuuzetsu envelopes them and freezes Kazumi. Even though Kazumi can’t hear her, Shana declares that she won’t lose.
But there are more urgent things at hand as Tiriel and Sorath have summoned the Cradle Garden in order to draw out the Nietono no Shana. Since it’s too dangerous for Yuuji to go, Shana enters the battle alone. After some introductions, Sorath and Shana lock swords. Shana loses that round, and then gets caught by the plant tentacles. Meanwhile, sneaking through the city, Yuuji is surprised when someone puts their hand on his shoulder. Back in the battle, Shana breaks free and seems to kill Sorath with a head on charge, but he turns out to be fine and grabs Shana’s leg as she tries to rush Tiriel. Searching for the root of their power, Shana flies up and spots the plant in another area. She gathers her power to strike it, but falls into Tiriel’s trap and gets captured.
Two exciting halves to this episode, the first culminating in a confrontation between Shana and Kazumi and the second comprised of the Shana vs. Sorath and Tiriel battle. They’re really packing a lot of plot into this episode, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Shana now has to fight a war on two fronts, one versus the Tomogara and the other versus Kazumi. As for Yuuji, the hand we see on his shoulder probably belongs to, based on the sleeve, Shudonai. What he’ll do with Yuuji, I dunno, but I doubt he’s hostile.
In her fight versus the siblings, Shana’s seriously outclassed by them and their (*laugh*) tentacle monster. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen blood in this series, but I do think this is the first time Shana bleeds like that. And now that the siblings have her, maybe Margery’s interference is needed to prevent them from getting her sword. From the preview it looks like she does indeed join the battle, but it also looks like Sorath gets his hands on the Nietono no Shana. We’ll see what happens, though not next week. Shana is taking a break next week, so episode 13 will air January 4th, 2006.
Cool!!
Great animation for this episode, I wanna see wthat happen next week.
Ok, it’s official, Kasumi & Shana go after Yuuji.
During the previews for Ep13, did it say that Ep13 will not air till Jan 4th?
If so…a week of no new Shana T.T
This was a very good very good episode not only did we have some relationship/confession advancement but some action to top it off and a cliffhanger very good indeed
This anime is just so awesome…I want to cry T_T
And Kazumi crying? That can’t be good?
Yeha! I hate to wait to long… hey, can anyone tell me when episode 13 show up, because in ANN says 2006-01-28… I don’t want to wait…
Another great episode…but poor Shana, she’s getting killed out there
Also, looks like we gotta wait tell Jan 4th for ep 13…….but at least Shana’s coming back around the time the Fate/Stay Night premiers (Jan 6th, I think) makes the wait even more worth it.
Man~ It’s getting better and better everytime! Now they’re releasing the game soon!
U guys r rite dis is one of the best animez iv ever seen itz rite up derr wit bleach if only the eps came a little faster cuz i cant wait to see em :p
The anime is now following the novels really closely and if so Show Spoiler ▼
Definitely a nice episode. 😀
“if only the eps came a little faster cuz i cant wait to see em :p ”
Bleach doesn’t come out any faster….it just began airing sooner….and Bleach won’t be airing an episode for /two/ weeks….
I love this anime
I want to see next epi now….but must wait 2 week for it….i want to cry….TAT
Shinji103 Did you read Shana’s novel?
Could you spoil some for me? I want to know about relationship between Shana and Yuiji in novel @@;;
and it’s already end or not?
Thank you
Nallu: The novels still haven’t ended yet. I’ve read up to volume 11. Somebody somewhere said that volume 12 was out, but I haven’t found any sites, American or Japanese, that are selling it.
Novel spoiler for Shana and Yuji’s relationship as of Volume 11
Show Spoiler ▼
ah…Thank you very much Shinji103 >_
oh man!!!! jan 4th Orz that is like ages away(though it is only a week)…. anyway.. i dunno but last week sorath and tyreal don’t look so bad but this week they really turn me off… the sight of them really make me feel like throwing up(just like what shana says when she sees them hugging and kissing)
Shinji103 Thanks for the inform on the manga really appreciate it.
Just to note: those are, as Shinji103 pointed out, novel spoilers, not manga spoilers. The manga just started a few months ago and isn’t very far in the story.
About where in the novel is the anime up to?
I believe this episode is volume 3.
GOD!! first of kazumi just pisses me off!! and daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn does 2 siblings are disgusting yet powerful…. and finally !!! JANUARY WTF!!!!!!!
I agree with you on the siblings being disgusting.
What’s the problem everyone’s having with Kazumi? Like Ike said, she’s an honest, caring good girl. As much as I’m rooting for Shana, Kazumi deserves to be recognized. When you declare a war over a guy on the most feared girl in the school, you know you are a big one.
Same here the twins are really damn sick with the bro/sis kissing crap just sends a chill down my back.
I prefer Kazumi over Shana
Why?
episode 9 lol
lol i san see y
Gripping episode…Had me on the edge of my seats and they just end it with a small cliffhanger…Gah~ XP
Anyway, seems like Shana finally actually admits her own feelings, though not to the person involved, but to a rival. She didn’t really think things through did she? =P I’m so looking forward to the rivalry between Shana and Kazumi fire up and Margery finally getting more action again. Gah…January 4th…
Kazumi’s fine, but I don’t find her very interesting to be honest. Though she definitely is a nice, caring girl.
hmmmmm.. i dunno… I like shana better.. coz she has a long hair… ahahhahaha.. I love long hair girl…
anyway, this episode rocks…
wow… i just saw eo 12 and it just gettz better and better the cliff hanger is soo good and soo cruel at the same time. almost all of the episodes have been amazing except for ep 2 which i found was a little slow but itz just great now definitly one of the best anime iv ever seen (yea i like girlz wit long hair too…shana rockz)
ep*
dam this episode was so good
i luvvvv this anime but dam i have to wait another week to view the next episode
thos two siblings are really disgusting me but dam there powerful
the other thing i like abt this anime the the ending music the play when the episode finish
its just leave u in suspense
I love this Anime. That Anime is ona my Top 5 Anime’s on second place
This episode was perfect, i want to see what’s happend in the next epizode.
Hmmm… I thought that Shana said that she will prove that Sakai is just her friend or something…. then she said she wont lose. I never remember her saying anything about or something that is like confessing. Anyway this series is getting good!
Rawr very very good episode
