Another character I haven’t mentioned yet is Lisa, a lonely girl whose troubling home life leads her to Nine and Twelve, an integral person that impacted the way Nine and Twelve operated. What a waste, really.Īt least once she died things started picking up again for me, as odd it is to say that. The way she died seemed shallow and like such a cop-out, but I suppose the 11-episode span of the anime limited any further character development that could’ve gone into her. And I understand she’s had a rivalry with him since they were kids, losing at chess to him all the time, and her health was deteriorating anyway and love makes people do crazy things and she’s (literally) insane and blah blah blah, but homegirl had such potential to be a more interesting character. Yes, I was annoyed by Five at first, but I honestly wanted to like her. I’m recently rewatching Death Note and like L and Light, I thought Five and Nine would face off in several grand battles of wits. I mean… what?! WHY! All this build up to catch Nine, and you just kiss him and then blow up in a fire?!! Like, scREW YOU!!! And then she blew herself up in a fire of gasoline. Five pursued, going to the point of turning cars over and killing the other agent she was working with in order to reach Nine.Īnd what does she do after getting him, finally? She kissed him. As the show went on and her obsession with catching Nine escalated, saying that she’d be the only one to “have” Nine, I laughed and joked that she just really wanted the D.īut then… apparently she really DID just actually want the D!! After a turn in event Nine turned himself in and was being escorted to a press conference. As in, I thought she had a really good personal reason. Her ways are extreme to the lament of the Japanese police, though… and it was in this point in the anime that I actually started to get bored and annoyed.įive was… Five was just… gah! I won’t lie, her I’m-cooler-than-thou attitude irked me but I figured she just really wanted to catch Twelve and Nine-Nine especially-for her own reasons. Dat hair doh.įive works with the Japanese police to track Sphinx down and based on the way the attacks were executed she already knows it was Nine and Twelve. In the middle of the show we discover there was another child who survived the institution: Five. Nine and Twelve managed to escape from the institution, but many of them died from the intense experimenting circumstances.īasically Nine and Twelve want to be caught now so they can reveal The Athena Plan, and to show those behind it just what kind of people their experiments created. Of course, this was all revealed to me in the coming episodes, and it was a story more tragic than I could have ever anticipated: Nine and Twelve were part of a top secret project that gathered gifted orphans and were experimented on using a brain function drug accidentally developed by a Japanese pharmaceutical company in the 90’s.
#Name of the track from zankyou no terror episode 9 how to
Sphinx’s video on anime-YouTubeĪs viewers, from the beginning we’re asking all kinds of questions: why do the boys call each other numbers? How the hell do two teenage kids know how to make bombs? At first I thought well hey, I guess you can find out anything from the internet nowadays, but the motive, what’s the motive? Naturally they want something, but what’s the point of giving the police a chance to stop the bomb using riddles? And they go out of their way to cause black outs, trip fire alarms and detonate bombs after-hours to ensure there are no casualties. They’re known as “Sphinx” after they post a video on the Internet wearing masks and warning of an upcoming bombing in the Tokyo metropolitan area, which happens, and throughout the course of the anime Sphinx gives riddles in their videos to the Japanese police, who must solve them without ‘cheating’ in order to stop the bombs. The premise of Terror in Resonance is appealing at its core: Nine and Twelve are two teenage boys. I’m gonna spoil the whole damn show, so turn back now while you can if you haven’t watched it already! And I’ve just finished the last episode 15 minutes ago, and I am still reeling from a massive headache. Terror in Resonance / Zankyou no Terorr is an anime I’ve known about since they hyped it like crazy during last year’s Anime Expo but I never got around to watching it ’til this week.
