Eden of the East Episode Summary and 7

Why hello Eden of the East. No hard feelings about being put on hold for a day due to my lovely figurine post right? Right? X_X

Perhaps the wait was worth it. This episode was pretty great and had a bit of everything to reach a wide audience. And look, it had gratuitous amounts of boobies and I wasn't twitching in my seat. Surely a miracle.

So grab a snack and sit down to watch a show that has some sexy almost action, Saki nearly tripping every ten steps, and random/unexpected angel wings. ENJOY!

My wings are completely necessary though.

Safety first!

President dude tells the others that Ohsugi has been kidnapped. The club deducts that the Johnny Hunter must have Ohsugi. Akira is confused about this Johnny Hunter stuff and asks who it is. The pudgy member explains and Akira is taken back at the victim number being at 20,000. The older lady questions why Ohsugi would go through the trouble of posting on this forum instead of texting them directly. The pudgy dude cries and says that Ohsugi was ashamed that he was caught up in this situation. Saki starts to feel a little guilty about the whole thing. The group uses their Eden program to research one of the objects in the room. Turns out that the hotel has a rare piano and Akira promises the group he will find Ohsugi. He leaves and tells Juiz to find him that piano. He goes alone as he learns that another Selecao is behind this. Once he learns the piano is in a fancy hotel room he asks for the person holding that room and her real name. He tells Juiz to hold up that woman as he learns she is also heading for the hotel. On the way to the hotel Selecao Prostitute is pulled over. Instead of paying attention to the police man she checks her phone. She learns that Selecao IX has ordered Juiz to do these things and slightly amused and pissed off. She decided to take off and tells Juiz to cause Akira to get into an accident.

The cop has her undivided attention of course.

Meanwhile Saki calls Akira to make sure he is okay but he never gets a chance to hang up the phone when an oil tanker nearly takes him out. Being the kind soul he is Akira saves the man driving the truck and continues on his way. The rest of the club is worried with the way Akira got off the phone and they decide to drive to the hotel themselves. The older lady tries to call the hotel but something strange is going on and now a car accident is blocking their way. When Prostitute Selecao makes it back to the hotel the manager tells her that due to a change of ownership she is no longer allowed to go to her room. She checks her phone and sees Akira has bought the entire hotel. X_X But she doesn’t care as she makes it up to her room anyway. The tied up Ohsugi freaks out as she decides to cut the foreplay and cut off his penis right away. Enter Akira crashing through the room. Prostitute Selecao smirks that the Supporter has arrived as well as the one who caused Careless Monday. Akira retorts that he is neither of those people. Prostitute Selecao then manhandles Ohsugi a little bit and goes on about the game they are playing. She explains that she was never trying to win the game but wanted to get back at horrible men and import nicer men from other countries to save their nation.

All the while Saki can hear what is going on as Akira’s phone is not off. Saki takes off on foot as traffic is jammed from the accident. When Akira learns that Prostitute Selecao has never received love from a Johnny he decides that he is going to save her too (even though he is bleeding from the side). Prostitute Selecao undresses and tells him to try and change that. Then Akira passes out before he can even kiss her. Saki gets worried about the lack of NOISE and tries screaming at Akira for answers. Saki makes it to the hotel room to find Akira passed out on the bed naked. Before her virgin eyes can explode Prostitute Selecao says she didn’t do anything to Akira (although she did tend to his wounds). Prostitute Selecao contacts Juiz and tells her to do it. And by do it she means make Ohsugi float in the air and make her sprout demon wings. X_X And make her fly in the air. Then SURPRISE it turns out that dude wasn’t Ohsugi. He was some evil serial rapist! Then said black demon wings psychopath FLIES out of the window and Saki is like….really…is this my life now?! The end!

And the real tragedy of this episode....all that wasted money.

Holy crap. X_X Maybe putting off this post one day was a crime. With all the penis talk and special purchases I can’t help but go X_X over this episode. So..I am sorry that you got pushed aside for a day (even though my nendoroids are super cute).

I am going to start with the only bad point of this episode. And I am not even sure if it is a bad point or not. It could be just me not understanding how they are using this term but whatever. But I really wished they would use penis for penis and Johnnies is a crocked guy out to hurt woman. Really it would be better with the term John as I think that term is more common with prostitutes and stuff but that would be really nitpicky. The point is that using the word Johnnies to encompass the word penis and John got a little much for me.

New drinking game word! And you WILL be drunk!

That and what is wrong with the word penis? It is almost trying to be too cute by skirting around that term. If this anime really wants to be mature and sophisticated it really just needs to say the word penis. Let’s be grown-ups now okay.

That is discrimination!

Of course I could be taking this way out of proportion and missing the big picture. The word Johnny has been used a lot in this anime so far. So maybe it is a cutsy way of saying the word penis…or maybe it has another meaning. Hopefully not the meaning that involves those creepy dead zombie things but something else. Like Akira’s real name or something. So if at the end of the series the word Johnny really is
important I will apologize for my rudeness.

That is a lot of faking....

Moving on from that small issue…X_X wow. That was a very interesting ride due to the fact that the last two episodes were in vain. Of course I am more upset that Akira wasted so much money for nothing more than Ohsugi’s safety but that is just the kind of person I am.

At least they care about him.

I am glad Mr. President dude told the rest of the club people what was going on. I hate it when friends don’t tell each other important things and try to save the day on their own. Those kinds of things rarely work out and leaves everyone pissed off at the hider.

Yay for information.

I am also glad that people in the club voiced questions about if this was Ohsugi or not. The older lady (I rock at names) brought up the great point of um…yeah why isn’t Ohsugi trying to call us. Thank you for not sweeping that issue under the rug. Pudgy member spoke up and gave some semi believable explanation about Ohsugi being embarrassed and all. I mean, if I was in danger and about to be killed I think I would suck up my pride and call my friends. But that is just me.

Pride? We don't need no stinkin pride!!!

Even though Akira’s heart is in the right place he isn’t doing a good job of keeping a low profile. Which I think is a positive quality. He rather make sure that Saki’s friend is alive than his crazy secrets protected. I think Akira using his money and resources to help a person he doesn’t even know is very noble. Great way to get the girl in the end XD

He's the violent one?

Prostitute Selecao really is on top of her game. She isn’t really a killer like the detective (well she is) and she certainly isn’t a kind person like the doctor. Her reasons for making the country a better place are a little bit special. I am all for getting bad guys off the streets but she kinda lost me with importing hot looking men. Reverse sexism is lovely.

A penis hater with a heart of gold.

The number 20,000 came up again and that raised my eyebrows a bit. Akira was quick to remind the group that they might be thinking of a different group of maybe dead people. This is a small little fact that I hope is brought up at the end of the series or otherwise explained. That would make me a happy person.

Sensing a theme...

So after skank Selecao and Akira get done trying to blow each other up they face off in the most….nonviolent way ever. I thought for a minute Akira was going to throw that apple at her head but nope. Instead my eyes almost popped out of my head when he kissed said skank and was going to show her some Johnny love (seriously, what does that mean people?). I think what made the situation more X_X is the fact that Saki heard the whole thing. That would put a damper on the whole relationship thing.

I will not be ignored!

Not to mention that it made me roll my eyes. Akira can’t remember about any of his past sexual experiences but he is that confident in his Johnny? And wouldn’t he be proving her point? That all men are sleazy and will do anyone, anytime? This lady needs to be shown that some people have sex out of love, not out of money or power. Fail plan is fail.

The saddest thing....IN THE WORLD!

The best part of this episode is that Ohsugi wasn’t at the hotel EVER! So HA the whole thing about why wouldn’t Ohsugi call makes total sense. Because Ohsugi is probably passed out in an alley way. In the scene before he was “not abducted” there was a man looking at Ohsugi. My theory is said stranger took his bag then hit on the skank Selecao (who also witnessed the theft). So yeah…it was a loser texting his information to that dating forum. Not that the crew should be insulted by their detective work. It was a logical conclusion after all.

Oh snap you gonna die.

What was not logical was the whole wings and flying away thing. X_X. Seriously just X_x.

Um....

After the X_X moment there was more @_@ when she just flew out of the window. I understand that it was special effects but really. Just really. How did all this special effects make it into the room in such a short amount of time? And I would love to know the special effect that can make someone FLY. Yeah I know Chinese people like flying in movies but this takes the cake. I am surprised that Saki didn’t pass out on the spot.

This all makes perfect sense! Of course!

So as it stands Ohsugi is still missing (but probably okay), Akira is naked and injured, and Saki is confused and slightly scarred for life. All and all…a great episode. XD See ya next week. XD
