He claims he’s here to save her, and helps her to her feet despite her protests, reminding her that she doesn’t have much choice given the circumstances.īack at Yuno’s house, it is just as dark as the scene above, since she doesn’t have electricity at the moment – Yuki seems fine with this, however. At this point, a young man approaches her, his face obscured by shadows. For some reason, her diary’s escape plans aren’t quite going according to… plan, and by now she can barely move (presumably as a result of her injuries and/or sheer exhaustion). Outside, Minene is still evading the police… just about. With things having gone so well earlier in the day, he agrees. Yuki’s plan was to walk Yuno back, then head home himself, but instead she invites him in. Yuno buys an umbrella, which the two share – pretty romantic in Japan, I hear – then they head to her house (passing a load of police, still hunting for Minene). It is now late, and the two leave, stopping off at a convenience store along the way to avoid the rain. Back in the present, he can’t believe that this is the sole reason behind her obsession, but if she does indeed have another reason, she’s not revealing anything this time. Yuki, understandably, thought this discussion was nothing more than a joke. When he refuses, saying that she isn’t family, she writes on her own form that she’ll become his bride. Embarrassed with his answer, Yuki attempts to erase it, but Yuno stops him, offering to visit the local observatory with him instead. Yuki writes that he wants to see the stars with his family, but with his parents recently divorced this is unlikely to happen.
While she seemed at first to be dodging the question, it turns out that these two things are actually related!Ī year previously, when filling in those forms where you write down your plans for the future, both of them were struggling to decide what to write (I’m nearly twice their age and wouldn’t know either). She responds with another question, asking him why he avoided the planetarium.
Finally, Yuki gets the chance to ask Yuno why she’s chasing him. But while Yuki has been complaining all day about Yuno’s desire to try out all the scary attractions, he outright refuses to approach this harmless one… With the sun beginning to set, the two end up on the ferris wheel instead. Once Yuki is resuscitated, Yuno suggests they visit the planetarium. But after seeing her frightened in the haunted house, and embarrassed after a wardrobe malfunction in the swimming pool (both of which involved her pressing her body firmly against his), he begins to think that maybe she’s not such a bad person after all. As we already know, only diary owners can interfere with each others futures… the identity of this lurking, shadowy figure remains a secret, for now at least.īack at the theme park, Yuno continues to make it hard for Yuki to ask his question. Which goes well… until her future changes suddenly and she is spotted by two officers. Earlier on, we were given a sneak peak into her childhood, which involved lots of explosions and (presumably) the death of her parents. In the present, she is hiding out in a building, police conducting searches for her all over the place, still in pain from losing her eye, and seemingly plagued by flashbacks of her past. Nevertheless, she is determined to survive and win.Īfter a quick change of clothes she leaves the building, using her Escape Diary to predict the movement of the police and thus avoid detection. To Yuki, this all feels like a waste of time however, he decides to take this opportunity to ask his companion an important question: ‘why the hell are you stalking me!?’ At least that’s what he’d like to ask, except she keeps dragging him from one ride or attraction to another, not giving him much of an opening (and he’s pretty socially awkward to begin with).Įlsewhere, Minene has more pressing issues to deal with than chasing them. So Yuki and Yuno go on a date in a theme park, to act as bait. The question is, how are they going to lure her out? Keigo emphasizes that capturing Ninth, Uryuu Minene, is their number one priority, since she’s the only hostile participant they’ve currently identified. Their goal is to find the other diary owners and (hopefully) prevent further bloodshed. Last time, Yuki and Yuno teamed up with Fourth (real name = Kurusu Keigo).
Of course, that doesn’t mean that nothing happened… Four weeks into the Autumn season already! My early impressions won’t be up for at least another week though, with Last Exile lagging behind the rest.Īny fears that episode 3 of Mirai Nikki would lead to another essay were soon diminished, as the pacing slowed down considerably.
