You are a gentleman and a scholar.
His sister has to sleep. So does that mean that the more he uses her power, the longer she's trapped away inside of him? How did she even end up in there? Season 2's ending must be perfectly logical compared to the clusterfuck that went on at Heaven's Gate.
>>115343802

In the gaiden, Yin develops emotions as she becomes more than a doll. Her and Hei fall in love, but Yin's ghost takes on its own personality, becomes more powerful, and eventually gains the power to control other contractors and use their powers, seemingly for the purpose of killing them, though it has no qualms with killing humans as well. Eventually Yin tells Hei to kill her as Yin's ghost takes full control of her and starts rampaging before going comatose.
In the second season, we learn of a prophecy laid out by Amber, that when Izanami and Izanagi they will give birth to Kagutsuchi and the world will be destroyed.
The entire season has Hei seeking out Yin to fill her last request. Shion turns out to be alive, and that Suou had actually died long ago and is actually a "slightly altered" copy of himself, she was a test to see if a copy could continue to exist permanently using the power of the meteor shard and the test was a success, without it, she died.
Shion, Madame Oreille and the ME system using the doll network were all part of a greater plan to create the "Ark". They would gather all the information about the world then feed it to Shion. Shion however was not powerful enough by himself and he goes to meet Izanami (Yin's alterego) by himself, where he cuts a bargain with her. He will die and create a clone of her using his power, if she will also use his power to create the "Ark" which turns out to be a second planet Earth without gates or contractors, with copies of everyone, including Suou living happy and fulfilling lives. Shion then dies and Hei comes along and kills Yin then walks away, his duty fulfilled. Shion, Suou and Yin and Izanami are dead, but the copy Shion made, a male Yin/Kagatsuchi awakens and has the ability to indiscriminately kill humans, like how Izanami could kill contractors. The series then ends implying that Kagatsuchi causes the the destruction of all humanity and the end of earth one while earth two lives on.
Reminder that Yin didn't die
>>115345197
Neither did Lelouch or Kamina
>>115345226
Hei saved her with chinese electric batman powers
>>115345251
But Hei lost his powers.
>>115345251
i thought he had lost it
>>115343802
None; he's not a contractor.
His sister residing within his body at a quantum level (lolscience) likely undergoes remuneration when he utilizes her abilities. Given it was falling asleep, you could interpret the in-universe effects a few ways:
1.) Her new existence as an incorporated aspect of Hei's being keeps her "soul" (as commonly thought of in Japan) in a perpetually "rested/asleep" state, meaning she doesn't have to pay her remuneration while she's bestowing it to her brother.
2.) He does pay a remuneration in an offset form: abundant eating. It could be seen as "refueling" his tired body, and in another sense, restoring the "energy" to the "tired" sister residing within, whose power he's channeling. As such, her altered form and presence within him also changed the form and function of her remuneration, as the replenishment of his body through huge caloric intake might translate into the restorative effects of sleep for his sister.
3.) Who gives a fuck? It's a story about an invisible/incorporeal entity residing over Japan that provides supernatural abilities to certain individuals at the cost of their empathetic/sympathetic experiences and feelings of moral allegiance. I'm fairly certain scientific/logical consistency wasn't paramount on their list of concerns whilst making the show.
>>115345325
IT ALL COMES FULL CIRCLE
Now it's been quite a few years since DtB became a big thing here. Has anyone else in anime beaten Hei in the collarbones or turning anons gay department?
>>115345063

>>115344634
>dat feel when someone uses a gif you made.
Honestly though, I enjoyed season 2 until the last 2 episodes, when it became apparent that the show needed another cours to properly tell its story. DtB2 was cursed by the year it came out: the year of everything must be 1 cours. Damn 2009: the worst year of anime.

>>115344790
The power is actually Molecular Manipulation, not just electricity. So you could assume his sister mixed her molecules with his. I think that makes sense.
>>115345063
These rankings are objectively exactly backwards.
>>115345489
That's lewd.

Darker than Black s1 had a fucking great soundtrack.
S2 also had an amazing soundtrack if you're into UNTZ.
I liked the dub.

I completely forgot that I still haven't watched Gaiden even though I watched both seasons as they airred.

>Hei only spared her life because of meat buns
>>115345678
Your face looks like a slut
when are we getting another season?
>>115345649
Man, all of you have shit taste. Hei's sleepy sister is the real best girl of the show. Like a living onahole. I know a similar principal applies to Yin but it's just not the same.
Notice how he keeps eating?
>>115345707
That Fucking Filename
>>115345773
Do we really even want one. We all know how bad Bones does second seasons. Surely a third season wouldn't just negate itself but everything that came before it.
>>115345649
This show needed more of Kirihara hair down.
>>115345773
Right after Bones does another series that sells well
>>115345831
It was mentioned that he always ate that way before anything supranatural started happening.

Don't need one. See:

>>115345934
Then we're doubly screwed either way once you fator in the gaidens.
>>115345953
>Not the S1 ED
>>115345343
2 is wrong because Hei has always eaten that much, even before he "became a contractor" (fused with Pai) as stated by Havoc
>>115345869
the photoshop is visible
>>115345925
>>115345953
Literally the only bad thing about this ED is that the ending of the chorus sounds just a little off because they had to shove the words DARKER THAN BLACK into the lyrics in somehow and did it pretty artlessly.
I think I like every ED equally though. They all have their own charm to them.

A satisfying conclusion.
>mfw Tanya got decimated by that anti-tank rifle
>>115346341
Seriously, what kind of stupid power is summoning a tank rifle?
wtf /a/
its how much he eats
>>115346373
>did you like those pretty generic powers that were used in creative ways in S1
>too bad
>here's a protagonist who summons a completely normal anti-tank rifle with stock footage
>who never shoots it at anyone because she's a retarded pacifist
>>115346403
>wtf
>not reading the thread
>>115346373
she stole hei's power of complete molecular control, and just like how he only used it for electricity, she only used it to manifest a rifle
>>115346487
That is a stupidly specific application.
>>115346487
Couldn't they have atleast done something cooler than that though? They could have even turned her into a biribiri railgun before it was cool.
I want to cuddle Suou
>>115346547
>>115346432
>>115346373
>>115346557
Suou a shit. Glad she died in real world.
>>115346547
>caring about how "cool" it is
I assume you're the type of guy that likes shit as long as it's flashy?
Reminder that Hei has lost everyone he has ever loved
He lost his sister, he lost his girlfriend, he lost his doll, he lost whatever Suou was to him, he lost everything
True suffering
>>115346751
>A world that can't even see space
>real
>>115346877
And he still manages to be the best anime protagonist to date.
>>115346844
The whole point of DtB is that it was cool. Without that factor it's just edgy, chunni-shit with "the syndicate" (and no one gets a share).
>>115346877
his girlfriend kinda fucked him in the ass
>>115346940
Keep on digging that hole, it's hilarious.
>>115346940
just keep on digging
Shikkoku no Hana was the season 2 we never got, I hate you so much Bones.
>>115346877
and he lost all those other arc specific women too
>>115347040
yeah like the dirty black hole voice slav
>>115346877
But Yin didn't die. Hei isn't exactly benevolent, so I don't think Hei would have let Izanami live in that shota clone body if she did.
>>115347097
Well technically his sister didn't "die" either, but she's pretty much gone.
>>115346969
>>115347027
Is this some kind of meme?
>>115347097
She's dead
>>115347181
yep. " yin" is dead but izanami is apparently alive
>>115347181
why couldnt season 2 be hei and burger kun broing it up?
>>115347097
>But Yin didn't die.
Nigga she dead as a doorknob.
>>115347181
>>115347264
burger is suffering
>>115347159
technically none of his romantic interests or his sister died.
Roach girl is the scariest contractor, fuck fighting that
>>115347309
imo i think she died but people still believe otherwise because of this
>>115347181
>>115347264
i'd like to have sonic's speed and eat burgers all day
ENGLISH DUB OR JAPANESE DUB?
burger-kun was the best thing that came out of S2, prove me wrong.
>>115347394
>>115347392
It's intimidating as fuck but if you have a ranged contractor power or even just a GUN you can just fucking cap her ass because it's not like she's going to make a particularly powerful shield out of bugs.
>>115347446
I can't
>>115347394
>>115347468
>imo
I don't think it is a matter of opinon. Yin is pretty much dead because izanami left her body for the cloned shota.
>>115347446
no lebian spit yoda is the best thing of s2
If you think about it, Hei (in season 1 only though) was one of the most fleshed out, interesting and well written character in newer time.
Definently made for a good experience watching.
Is Hei even chinese
>>115347432
Sorry for shouting, should I watch the english dub or the japanese?
>>115347413
Best contract
>>115347571

>>115347571
Honestly, either. The dub was pretty good. I ended up watching it twice because the dub was done well.

But he's not a contractor
S2 was shit, because it had no Lii-kun
Lii-kun and Kirihara dating ep was the best ep of season 1

wait what how many anons have been turned gay by him

>>115349236
Yes. It's a 6/10 at best. You should watch it though, and save the OVA for last, they are GOAT.
>>115349523
what's so bad about it exactly?
>>115349522
>implying its right
>>115349570
The story and particularly the ending. Characters that were developed and important in the first season were discarded in favor of a magical girl with a rifle. I will not spoil the ending for you, but it least a disgusting taste in your mouth.
>>115347088
>not liking Havok
>>115349627
Well what is your argument for why it is wrong?
>>115349734
It's not a matter of right and wrong. It's not possible to prove it either way. It remains a theory and nothing more. The highest praise you can give it is "possible."
>>115343802
He does it for free.
>>115351715
You can't just say ITS WRONG without an argument m8.
>>115352084
Nobody said "it's wrong"
>>115349062
You're talking to a victim right here.
How many recent anime characters actually qualify to be GAR nowadays? Archer in UBW might bring back the trend.
