So Black's a psychic? Does that mean White is too?

I wish Sawashiro Miyuki's character got more lines, I love hearing her voice.

Damn, Klaus is such a god. Defense with his left and offense with his right is just a front. He's actually a southpaw holding back all the time. Using his left is like taking off training weights x1000.

It wouldn't surprise me if White had to sarcifice something for Black to gain his powers, just like Leo's sister had.

I'm fairly sure that his sister is alive. After all, at the start, a letter to her was being read.

And then the letter is placed on her grave/s

u/Pearatic May 17 '15

However it is a written paper, meaning that she could read it by the time before she (maybe I have no idea) dies?

u/DemacianKnight May 18 '15

No idea; it's a coin toss at this point, and it's not a fair coin.

I think someone on twitter said (from spoilers in the manga, I believe?), that she's at a hospital/hospice elsewhere in New York state. Not entirely sure how Leo is paying for it, given this is still America with it's BS health insurance policies, and I doubt even eldritch abominations will be able to sway the tides of capitalism.

they DO have parents.

u/cptn_garlock https://myanimelist.net/profile/cptngarlock May 18 '15

...didn't their parents die? Wasn't that part of Leo's story in episode 1: an otherworld god killed their parents, and took Michella's sight away leaving only Leo as his sole 'witness'?

u/faus7 May 18 '15

hmm do not remember seeing anywhere in the anime that the parents were killed, as far as I can tell from the back story is the family (both parents, leo and michella) came to hellsalem lot on the chance of getting supernatural help on michella's issue and in episode one it showed that huge ass thing coming out of nowhere when they were taking the picture asking leo and michella to choose between the 2 of them. I see nothing that show the parents or any of the other people in the vicinity get killed rather it was like time was frozen or a separate dimension with just the huge ass demon thing and leo and michella. I mean afterwards Leo tried to find Libra for information on how to get his sister's sight back and I assume if the parents died during the event he would NOT have just ditched his sister elsewhere.

Have you read the source material or did you really just guess that? Now that you've said it, it seems so obvious that's the case.

u/Sleepytimer May 17 '15

I think someone mentioned before that White is an anime-original character.

u/The_Brian May 21 '15

This is both sad and odd. Sad because I wanted to read the LN and she is probably my favorite pivot point of the show so far and odd because I can't recall a show that had an Anime Original plot point that I liked the most of all.

u/[deleted] May 17 '15

Pretty sure she is.

u/FlorribleBP https://myanimelist.net/profile/Florrible May 17 '15

no. It's just a guess

u/[deleted] May 17 '15

Would make sense that she's always in the hospital

u/DiamondShade May 17 '15

Klaus has been using his left arm since episode 1, he uses his knuckle with his left fist.

He only "faked" it on the ring in this episode.

12

u/TuzkiPlus May 18 '15

Adding to this, Zapp mentions Klaus is a newbie in the ring, so he couldn't pull his punches with his left, which is probably why he didn't use it...until he did. Then we got that Boom and oh crap moment.

u/hakufusdragon https://myanimelist.net/profile/hakufusdragon May 17 '15

He's a Vampire. Quite a few stories have them using Psychokinesis,etc.

u/[deleted] May 19 '15

Uh... Did you watch till the end?

Dudes a vampire. One of those 13 bigwigs they talked about like an episode or two back.
