I think I'm giving up on trying to figure out what in anime does and doesn't bother/offend people, because I constantly get surprised by it.

I know. Nnoitra protects your spiritual energy on the Astral plane of existence. Leave your tribute at the base of the shrine, he's fond of turkey sandwiches. |

I know the feeling, bro. Suguha is with me always too 
It's pointless to try in the first place. Just keep rollin' as you always do. If you're too busy worried about what will offend others you'll never go anywhere. Though I do find it a bit ironic that you thought that way about Klein given your profession. People thinking like that is the main reason the male teacher is going extinct.

Honestly I don't see how Spiegel would no connection to death gun or something bigger behind the scenes. This episode made him out to be clearly manipulative of Shino. Despicably so.
And i don't think that they did that creepy scene where he rubs her face on the computer screen to paint him as some desperate guy. In all likely hood he's hiding his true intentions behind the "good friend" facade he constantly puts up. I don't know what it is but his presence just screams "insincere" and it's very clear he's hiding how he really acts. Edit: Oops......looks like I was reply to the wrong page since the subject is completely different now  .........carry on.

We don't know if that was him or not, though. |

Well it's either him or some completely new person that we had no idea about (which wouldn't be out of this seasons line of logic i suppose).
He had the same face, hair color and has an has an infatuation with Shino. Why would it be someone else? Are they just going to throw out a good old "PLOT TWIST!" leading us to believe it was him when it was really some random dude? I doubt it, and if it did go that road it would be pretty lame. At first I thought the scene was placed there to foreshadow that he was death gun. Since that theory has been debunked it means it served another purpose. To show us what he's really like underneath that devoted friend facade. This episode brought out that personality that was hinted before. He's very manipulative and wants Shino to himself. That is perfectly in line with how the scene portrayed him. Throwing in some mook who also as some interest in Shino wouldn't make sense to me unless they developed him to a decent extent. |

Completely forgot that it was out the 20th in Europe, so I'll be downloading it tomorrow. Isn't it obvious? You've got to start with Suguha, that much is certain. Asuna had her time during the show, so she can take a back seat for a while. 
As for the creeper sitting at the computer screen. He was taking out all high level targets and Sinon was just next on his list, though the stroking of the screen quite stalkerish. If Darth Death Gun is Spiegel, then he's taking an awful long time to finish her off, unless he is waiting until the end of the tournament to make a big public display of it. Also, why bother with all the manipulative/ desperate behaviour now, if he plans to put a cap in her ass anyway? |

You clearly misread what I said. I stated that they already debunked that he was Death Gun but that scene CLEARLY made everyone think he was being foreshadowed to be death gun when we were first shown it. Since that wasn't the case it served another purpose to show the true aspects of his personality. He may not be death gun but is really that hard to believe he might have some connections with the laughing coffin group or something of that shady nature? Personally I think that he may be protecting Shino from the group which is why he feels entitled that she be only his lover. It would make sense to me personally since if Death Gun wanted to kill Shino I have no idea why he hasn't already. We aren't even clear as to how people are killed by Death Gun and i think there is a little more to the trick than simply shooting the character in the face.

Apologies, I wasn't referring to your comment. It was more thinking outloud on my behalf after reading the above posts. I agree with most of what you said and I bet when it's finally revealed, we'll all be kicking ourselves over how simple it all was.
Moving on, I'd currently be much more impressed if Sinon wins the BoB Tournament instead of Kirito (If he does win it, that is). The guys got a better win percentage than BLANK... If that's possible.

Well from the get-go you're with Philia. I must say I am enjoying her design. Hm, guess we should start a thread in the video game sub-forum. EDIT: And done. |

Kirito may not win because he doesn't enter to win the tournament. |

But... But... He has to win! If he doesn't, we won't be able to call him a Gary Stu anymore!!!

There have already been times where he didn't win so he can't be one in the first place.
