    I wasn't concerned with the animation at all this episode, and therefore didn't see any difference from the previous eps. I'm mostly thinking about two things after this ep:

    1) Is Yuno really in this for Yuki, or is she selfish?

    2) Was Yuno only being her cautious self, or was she actually expecting company? If so, was she expecting the party that actually arrived, or was she baiting the other diary holders into her trap-laiden fortress?

    Yuno wants to eliminate people who might, that's what she's thinking, endanger her or Yuki.
    Akise is dairy holder, #7 or #11, 90% probability, uses the traditional dairy instead of cellphone.
    Akise is Murmur, probability 10%, but not totally out of question.
    Mao is dairy holder too, probability 70%, 20% for borrowed dairy.

    It is easier for Yuno to 'protect' herself and Yuki without random factor - aka Yuki.

    And Yuki once again has proven us that he is from Dumbfuckinstan. He knows that Yuno is insane and dangerous, yet he didn't go off with her to take the drink for himself(it is obvious that she would bring one for him too), and he drank it without any question.

    I like that Yuki fully trusts Yuno now. It's about time.

    As for Yuno's intentions, I was slightly confused because she wasn't accompanying him. Yuki wasn't bound in bed, or just laid on a bed. He was strapped to a chair - the hell?

    Unless Yuno also plans to fake a "rescue operation" in front of Yuki, her love for him should at least result in her staying by his side. She may think of Yuki as someone so trusting and nice that she'd ruin her plan, but if all was consistent she won't think of him as a bother.

    Talking about consistency, she did read the message that Akise sent to Yuki's phone the other week.. maybe her precautionary moves and/or distrust for Yuki started there..

    Credits from episode 1 show the names of all the diary holders; Akise [highlight to read]isn't one of them. [/end highlight]

    It was a decent episode, but honestly, after seeing Yuki, I just couldn't help but think he had been raped. Am I alone in this? >_>

    Glad to see that Murmur is getting more exposure. I don't remember if I said it, or someone else did and I agreed, but I definitely felt that Murmur was going to be more of a central character, since the beginning. She's manipulating the game to make it go "faster", but is it truly for Deus' sake? It also felt like she knew more about Yuno than Deus does. If we go with the "Yuno is the new God of spacetime, and is redoing the game in order for Yuki to win" theory, maybe there are more people that aren't affected by the time reset, like Murmur.

    Speaking under that same theory, what if the skulls Yuno is carrying around are actually Yuki's skulls from other "survival games"? If we're already under the theory that she's gone back once, who's to say she hasn't done it multiple times? "Oh look, Yuki died again. I'll harvest his skull and reset."

    Fucked up, I know.

    It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.

    Murmur seems to be more powerful than Deus. He tried slamming his hand on her, but she just teleported away and he didn't try again. She also appears to be the one controlling everything, which is strange since Deus is supposed to be the god. He's quite powerless for a god, so far at least.

    And if we are to assume those skulls were harvested from the corpses in her room..

    She drags all the previous Yukis with her to each new game??

    You could assume that, yes. But you could also assume those corpses were of different people, and the skulls themselves, or trophies as Yuno may consider, could have been locked away elsewhere. We never saw the rest of Yuno's house, so we can assume she may have had a "shrine" for Yuki, and the skulls could have been placed there. Upon realizing they needed to get out of town, she decided to take the skulls with her. They were showcased in her bag, and she's using them now as armrests. They hold sentimental value. The corpses in the taped-up room were eventually thrown into a giant pit.

    Of course, you could also assume the corpses were her parents, like we brought up before, and therefore provide the sentimental value needed to collect their skulls. But I like my multiple-timeline theory better... >_>

    Well I certainly did not see that one coming. The game now has two sides. Deus and that kid. Seems the kid can make people Apprentices instead of full on Future Dairy Holders. Should be interesting.

    1) we don't know who makes apprentices. I'm betting on Deus.
    2) i pity the fools who are going to challenge Yuno. Even without power of future prediction she is dangerous, too dangerous. Rule of thumb: Do Not Challange Psychotic Bitches on Their Own Terrain.
    3) Yuki lost small advantage of Yuno's dairy.
    4) 3rd body - I've thought that were only two bodies!

    Flashback to the intro of episode 1; Yuno killed Yuno? What?

    Evil twin? Clone army? I'm confused as hell.

    Amano-Yuno came to like Yuki after the events of the first game. She travels back in time to kill Yuno & parents. That's my take.

    I was bothered that Yuki snapped out of his daze as fast as he did. Turns out he wasn't drugged, and Yuno was being quite accommodating. He was malnourished or something on his own accord (though given how Yuno forced him to eat anyway, I don't see how that happened). Good to know Yuno would look after me well if I ever had a stroke (if I was Yuki, anyway).

    8th can make people apprentices.. That's interesting. Perhaps her diary allows her to see the events that her apprentices can see (or the events that show up on their diary anyway).. kind of like 6th's power, but operating in a smaller circle of more powerful followers. Akise might not be a diary holder, but he might well be one such apprentice. No one said you can't delete your own messages.

    Amano-Yuno appears to be the one being killed there, though. Also not sure why Yuno wants to kill herself, assuming my interpretation of that flashback is correct.

    Amano-yuno becomes Yukkii-Yuno after the events of the first game. She travels back in time to kill her parents and the pre-Amano-yuno of that time to replace them. No one would have known, nothing would have happenned, and Yuki would have liked Yuno without hesitation had he not openned the door to that room.

    That's my interpretation of the flashback and the time-continuum-breaking consequence of openning the room. Deus dying might even be a side effect of it. This really could have just been a game.

    Just so I got that perfectly right: 7th was a "twin-user", aka two people made up 7th. No apprentices, right?

    Crazy shit going on, and I reeeeally want to know where Yuno learned fighting. Certainly points to the above theory of Yuno being the winner of a hypothetical first game, thus having these god-like fighting skills.

    Aww man... reusing animation for the opening? That's just rude.
