| Ruby Reminiscing? about the past. Akane-Chan the uninvited guest present over here & kana's reactions were just too perfect to laugh upon🤣. Ruby She definitely blessed Akane-Chan with marriage proposal🤣. Finally Ruby & aqua are standing on the place from where it all began. Aqua enquires about his old co-worker & reminiscing about Ai & about that night. His old House definitely looks haunted & brings back some old memories from the past. Crow Girl!! finally properly appears in the anime. Mem-Cho definitely is just only past over 18 yo for sure 😂. Kana definitely going through some awkward phase 😂 & Akane-Chan dressing kana 🤣 She's definitely A hardcore fan of kana. Crow Definitely has some sort of connection with Ruby😶. Ruby she's expecting impossible events. That backyard I'm getting horror Vibes & that body it's definitely of..... 😨. Ruby She got heartbroken 💔 within a matter of seconds 😢.

| Ahhhh Akane masterclass! Been waiting on she and Aqua trip to his hometown and as usual DG did a great job with it. I love seeing how fast Akane is to pick up on things and how she just instantly knows when something’s up with Aqua. She’s truly the driving force behind so many big reveals in this story. So many cute moments in this one with she and Aqua too First of all, the fact we’re finding Gorou body in the anime and then the stuff that’s happening in the manga rn is hilarious. The way they time this stuff is so good. But as for the episode, I loved this walk down memory lane. It had never even occurred to me that both Sarina and Gorou were missing a mother’s love in their life and so them both being reincarnated with a loving mother was fitting. Akane checking aqua temperature and trying to give him meds after he said he needed to into he hospital was so sweet. She just comes prepared with everything. Ruby calling her onee-chan just feels right because she does have that older sister vibe to her, encouraging Ruby to pursue her love interest who’s funnily enough her current bf 😂 Sarina flashbacks are always gut wrenching because how could you just leave your daughter in that hospital and never come check on her. Like what sort of evil POS do you have to be.. the only happiness she ever had was Gorou and Ai.. at least as Ruby she’s smiled and been happy most of the time. Crow girl finally in the anime!! And that ending, man what a cliffhanger to leave off on and we got to wait an extra 4 days for the finale on the 6th. Season 3 announcement better be coming as well!! |

| B-Komachi is finally starting to make small waves again, and the R&R trip to Miyazaki with everyone onboard, Ruby getting enthralled seeing Akane for the first time as Kana feels threatened by her position, as they meet MEM-cho's video producer friend Anemone at Takachiho to film their MVs. But for the Hoshino siblings to be taken back to the place where they died, reincarnated and given birth from Ai to be reborn as a second chance, as well as Aqua seeking his past life being Dr. Gorou Amamiya, and bringing Akane to tell of his death place and reveal the entire truth to her, it sure got dark quite fast, though nothing that Akane can't grasp with what she's been foretold. As the music video filming continue, seeing Akane help perfect Kana's outfit is quite the surprise given how much both were once at loggerheads with each other, and now things have improved between the two, espeically in their respective acting and idol roles. Of course, Ruby hanging out with Akane as her "Big Sis" enough to tell her the same story as Aqua did, the ambition of Ruby as Sarina to want to date Gorou because he gave her a reason to live, it's quite the fascination...if not for the fact of a rogue crow leading both her and Akane to a small shrine...which holds Gorou's dead corpse. Revelations endlessly coming...but this is a reunion found out at the worst of times... |
 |
| The real backstory |
| Omfg this really has the best/worst cliffhangers of all time Also guys please rewatch the last part of the ED, it's a bit different this time |
 |
| And now we get to see the start of evil Ruby >:) |
 |
| they added the crow having the pendant of Ai on this episode right? i dont remember it being there before and i cant go back to each ED to look it up |
 |
| This was amazing, feel terrible for Ruby having her heart broken by finding Gorou's remains like that. |

| @Mikarin_Enjoyer Yes, in previous episodes it just ended with the crow It actually had the pendant the whole time, but they're only fully showing it now |
|
| why was his dead body in that cave??? please no sister complex 🙏🙏. I like this ep. You go to see the past and I like that. It was good to know they didn't forget who they were in their first life. |

 Hello! i'm not done with changing this but. uhhh |
| I think this series may have the best (or worst only because of the week wait in between) cliffhangers from any series I've watched so far and this episode has one of the best. The build up was great with Akane first interacting with Aqua while he explored familiar areas and then later on going with Ruby as they both chased after a crow that took their key. I wonder if Akane will connect the pieces in regards to what Aqua had told her about looking for a dead "pet" being the corpse of the doctor he searched for also being the same person that Ruby had a crush with which is also the same person whose house Aqua and Akane visited. Even if Akane makes the connection that they're the same person I doubt (at least for now) that she will then make the connection that the deceased doctor was reincarnated as Aqua. On that note I think Ruby will be heartbroken since she thought the doctor was still alive but if she only knew that he was also reincarnated as she was... I hope that discovery is revealed someday although I don't know what kind of drama that may cause. |

I think this series may have the best (or worst only because of the week wait in between) cliffhangers from any series I've watched so far and this episode has one of the best.

I wonder if Akane will connect the pieces in regards to what Aqua had told her about looking for a dead "pet" being the corpse of the doctor he searched for also being the same person that Ruby had a crush with which is also the same person whose house Aqua and Akane visited.

On that note I think Ruby will be heartbroken since she thought the doctor was still alive but if she only knew that he was also reincarnated as she was... I hope that discovery is revealed someday although I don't know what kind of drama that may cause.

| @Alfredo-Sauce let's just hope that there is no sister complex. this ep really makes you want to watch the next one but you have to wait a week for it |
| Hello! i'm not done with changing this but. uhhh |
| Ruby was killing Kana lmao, poor girl. Nice to see her getting along with Akane. The Sarina flashbacks got me emotional. And that ending, Ruby's hopes and dreams crushed. Well now who's gonna tell her he's been by her side all this time. |

| How many cliffhangers you want in a season? Director: Yes! |
| That was evil! Ruby didn't deserve to find out like that. This season has been great. So many twists and great character development |
N☆  |
| They really went out of their way to show Kana like that LMAO 😭 Hope we see more of the crow girl in the finale. PEAK |
 |
| Holy sh!t, I knew I shouldn’t have watched this Ep now after finding out about the delay. Bad cliffhanger, really bad. I’m so glad this is 13 episodes and not 12 though, phew. All that reminiscing and the crow girl’s first appearance, I should’ve seen the dots. Gee, the ED visuals make a whole lot more sense now. And, also the creepy rewind from corpse to former Gotou-sensei. Can’t wait for the next Ep! Wild ride, this. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| So many haunting imagery in between the fun and energetic mood. The smile we failed to protect...  |
| Some cliffhanger...That was absolutely brutal. A bit of a jump of faith to believe that no one looked at a cave that size behind the shrine in over 16 years but I'll let it slide for the emotinal impact it brings. Akane really is too good to be true. Smart, caring and absolutely knock out gorgeous. She really is too good for Aqua sometimes. |

| Great episode, damn cliffhangers always get annoying. finally Dark Ruby will be featured in the anime. Ruby is so cute today we got a lot of cute shots of her to build up the situation where something will happen to ruby. if only Ruby knew that the Sensei she loved had been with her since she was born, it wouldn't be like this. we failed to keep that sweet smile of hers. Akane really likes Kana lol, always love seeing the two of them together and I always hate it when their fans insult each other while Kana and Akane are good friend rivals. Akane shows a lot that she still likes her childhood idol even she criticizes her idol Kana's clothes, they are both so cute. Aqua explains many things to Akane, Aqua is very open to Akane and of course there must be a certain purpose why Aqua deliberately explains everything to Akane. Although Kana's position to continue with Aqua is disrupted at least she can also have fun to continue her work as an idol, and it seems that Aqua is starting to realize that Kana is an idol so Aqua must be more careful with Kana not to get too close to her where Aqua is afraid that something similar to Ai will happen to Kana. The title for this episode is "Reunion" which is a very worst reunion for Ruby, The ED adds a scene at the end where the crow bites Sarina-chan's keychain given to Sensei. I can't wait to see how Doga Kobo will continue cooking in the finale episode, there are many of my favorite panels in there, hopefully they can make me satisfied for the second season finale.  |

| I knew it, I knew something big was gonna happen by the end of the season but I didn't expect Ruby (Sarina) to meet with Gorou's corpse to be it. The location of the shoot should have been a sign as well as how cheery she was all the time. This is a very harsh realization for her who had believed for all that time that he was still alive. The crow, the mysterious creepy girl, the ominous ED, it all fits. Now the question is how long will it take for both brothers to realize what each other is and knows. |

| Naaah the mangaka was cold to do Ruby like that. Poor girl, just when she was expressing her feelings about him, for it to be shot down by finding his corpse on the mountain. From the very beginning this episode had to cover what happened to Aqua´s old body. Surely the killer woudn´t leave it to rot for someone to find, but at the same time leaving it in the cave not the best move. If he had burried it somewhere even in a cementary under a fake name or something no one would have ever found it. I knew Aqua or Ruby had to discover the doctor´s body one way or another, however to do it the way they did specially for Ruby since she had a crush on him, is just straight up evil. Predictable cliffhanger for the episode, but I wonder what are they gonna do? I mean it´s obvious they have to report it, but if they report it and the police make public who found it, surely that would bring a whole lot of trouble for Ruby and Aqua. Hopefully Ruby and Akane tell Aqua and Miyako before anyone else. |

| It was so cute to see Sarina and Gorou playing together at the start, but it was sad to see Sarina's death. I liked the montage of the group traveling to the city and then goofing around. Aqua's situation in his previous life — as Gorou gives further layers to his relationship with Ai and his survivor guilt. Incredible writing and good utilization of the reincarnation aspect. Ruby is so cute! But then her seeing Gorou's dead body... Doga Kobo perfectly nailed the expression. I can't imagine how shocking and traumatic it was for her, especially as she just talked with Akane about her love for Gorou. |
CielordSep 25, 2024 10:49 AM
| I expected something bad to happen in the end but that was horrible seeing Ruby like that and the glow in her eye disappear. Now Im broken too lmao. |
| A trip down memory lane as Aqua and Ruby return to the place where they have both died and reborn. Except poor Ruby had to learn the hard truth that the doctor she admired was dead all along not realizing that he was already reincarnated as Aqua. The dark plot thickens with so many twists and turns. Can't wait for the finale on October 6th. |

 Me too Kana me too. Aqua & Ruby coming back to Miyazaki obviously means trouble. Expected Aqua to find his corps but it didn't happen. It was Ruby in the who found it. Akane again played such a good support to both Aqua & Ruby throughout. Everyday I am liking and impressed this girl more and more. She has been the best character this season (besides Aqua ofc). Aqua trying to find clues about his past but all end in failure. He visited the hospital he worked 15 years old(despite being 16 year old 2 months ago.. OnK timeline things..)We will never be seeing Nurse-chan from ep1 ever again. I am devasted. Aqua doesn't have it rough this life but also in previous life as well. Living with a regret of killing your own mother. Unwanted by everyone. Sarina also died while her parents never came to visit her. While only Gorou being with her till end. "God surely is kind" "God guided two who never had a mother in sense and a Mother who gave birth to souless children" This hit so hard🥲..  These 3 truly deserved eachother so much. Akane and Aqua being Tsundere with Kana was hilarious "Nothing more troublesome than former fan turned hater" "You get passing mark" "You two be honest a praise me more"😭 Yeah yeah you shouldn't date and idol openly but wtf with those Kana-Ai edit not cool. Been waiting for Ruby and Akane to meet and good to see it finally happened. Ruby opened up about her crush on Gorou. He was the whole gave her hope and was with her till death. She is working hard just to grab his attention and a hole of meeting him again. Poor Ruby man...  The innocent hopeful smile is gone... After finding Gorou corpse I wonder how she will react going forward not knowing he is with him for 16 years. Seen lots of hype about this scene and it was excellent. The crow girl is pulling big strings and ended in such bad place and have to wait for 10 days hahh.. Production is having problems with previews getting delayed and probably episode are finishing very late. But still the quality is not compromised so I can't really complain. |
WaterMageSep 25, 2024 10:53 AM
| Jesus that took a dark turn out of nowhere! but honestly i kinda expected it once i knew they were returning to the place where it all began. I guess now its Rubys turn to go down the path of the darkside trying to find sensei's 'killer' and i have a unverving feeling shes going to be waaay more devious and and unhinged than Aqua was lol |
| Seeing Sarina and Goro-sensei again really made me emotional. Man... I knew it was gonna happen eventually because of the location, but it still caught me by surprise a bit. MEM-cho has some really interesting connections. Akane and Aqua spend more time together. I liked it. It felt like the two were bonding. I love the two together a lot. The artwork of Ai that Sarina gave to Goro looks like Lum from Lum no Love Song. I wonder if it's just a coincidence. This episode also revealed a lot about Goro and Sarina's past... Sarina's parents were workaholics who didn't come to visit her even when she was literally dying. Makes me think that Sarina was probably an unwanted child. Meanwhile, Goro didn't even know who his father was and his mother died during childbirth. He was raised by his maternal grandparents tho his grandpa probably hated him for being the cause of his daughter's death. Talk about tragic. Neither Sarina nor Goro had loving parents. Makes it more tragic that when both of them were blessed with Ai, she was taken away by their scumbag dad. But seriously, this also answered my question about why the two never tried to contact their old family or even try to see how they were doing. I thought it'd be something like this where their original family either didn't exist or they were all dead. Glad to finally have the confirmation. What's the deal with this crow girl? Her cryptic talk isn't really cryptic at all. She talks like she knows about Aqua and Ruby's situation. Is she even human? Or is she some kind of a supernatural entity like the ones mentioned in the beginning? Goddammit, anime. You don't have to make me self-conscious about my age through MEM-cho again and again... What's worse is depending on how the anime keeps releasing I'll age faster than the characters. I keep forgetting Aqua and Ruby are 15. I miss being 15. Since Kana is becoming an idol, Aqua will have to stay away from her so paparazzi doesn't expose her having a bf. That sucks. Idol culture in general sucks. I wonder if Kana is aware of it. I feel bad for her catching so many Ls. And finally, that bombshell of an ending. I was already spoiled that this was gonna happen a long time ago but I didn't know it was gonna happen in this episode. I was expecting it after the start of the episode tho. This was one heck of a cliffhanger. Can't wait for the final episode next week which is actually in October. That's crazy. |

At us least Arima fans didn’t get completely cucked with Aqua and Akane's moments. She had her cute moments too. But now that he's realized he can’t spend time with her, Arima might end up quitting being an idol. Can't believe they had the gall to show us a timeline where Arima got that Ai treatment... shit wasn't even in the manga LOL.

| @IzanaSolos that's not production issues. Or more precisely not the new ones. Because they made 1-week break previously, ReZero S3 took out the next week slot as it is a 90-minutes premier. So they had to delay the final to the closest one available. |
 |
| Aqua finally was unable to protect Ruby's innocence. I hope they can work a lot of this out between each other in the final episode. The second she was talking about the Ai Keychain, you knew it was going to go south fast. It's now Ruby's turn to go down the dark route. |
Autoparts_22Sep 25, 2024 11:41 AM
| Dark Ruby finally arrives! This chilling revelation sets up an intriguing role reversal, with Aqua being more relaxed now from hearing the "truth", while Ruby takes over his revenge plot. It's rough seeing such a cheerful girl depressed after finding her beloved Sensei's skeleton (quite the morbid "reunion"), but I won't deny this arc made her character much more interesting to me. I'm sad there's only one more episode left of S2, but it's been incredible throughout and probably even better than S1 in my opinion. |
| brilliant episode, one of my favourite episodes of any anime |
 |
| ...and then Ruby star eye starting fade away. Here comes the big plot, Ruby take over the spotlight. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| Next eps, Welcome to uchiha ruby |
| Wow that’s brutal… |
| The purest type of love is about to get started. |
