SENSITIVE INTELLIGENCE REPORT – RESTRICTED DISSEMINATION
SUBJECT: 1. ATTEMPTED FALSE FLAG OPERATION BY KURUMI.
……………2. COVERT INTERCEPT OF KURUMI BY AYANE.
DATE: LATE DECEMBER 2009 TO EARLY JANUARY 2010.
1. OTHER EFFORTS HAVING BEEN FRUSTRATED, KURUMI UME ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE IN AN ELABORATE FALSE FLAG OPERATION INVOLVING KURONUMA SAWAKO, SANADA RYUU, AND KAZEHAYA SHOTA. CENTRAL TO THIS OPERATION WAS A NOTE, FALSELY ATTRIBUTED TO SAWAKO AND LEFT IN RYUU’S SHOEBOX. WHILE THIS PART OF THE PLAN WAS LEFT TO WORK ITSELF OUT, KURUMI BEGAN FEEDING FALSE INTELLIGENCE TO KAZEHAYA WHILE ALLIED ASSETS WERE SEPARATED FOLLOWING THE SPORTS EVENTS. HOWEVER ALLIED ASSETS ENDED UP DISREGARDING BOTH THE FALSE FLAG LETTER AND DISINFORMATION, WITH KAZEHAYA PERHAPS SLIGHTLY SHAKEN BUT ULTIMATELY UNAFFECTED.
2. PRIOR TO INITIATING THE FALSE FLAG OPERATION, KURUMI WAS SPOTTED AND CONFRONTED BY ALLIED AGENT AYANE. USING A CONTROLLED LEAK OF ACTUAL INTEL, AYANE PUT KURUMI AND HER ORGANIZATION ON NOTICE REGARDING HOW WELL WE HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING THEM. KURUMI APPEARED VISIBLY SHOCKED THAT HER PAST AND CURRENT ACTIONS WERE SEEN THROUGH SO EASILY, THOUGH THE METHODS OF OUR UPCOMING COUNTERATTACKS WERE LEFT OUT. THIS AMBIGUITY SHOULD SERVE TO DETER SOME FUTURE ATTACKS.
The ‘Sports Festival Incident’ came to a close in this most recent episode with Kurumi’s most promising plan of attack thus far being thwarted by the forces of True Love and Friendship. Starting out just where the previous episode left off, Kurumi Wormtongue was still attempting to work her mind poison into Sawako after Ryuu caught the stray ball headed for her. And in the process of trying to convince Sawako that Kurumi’s unworthy obsession is somehow love, she has continued an increasing trend of poor OPSEC, going so far as to disclose her orchestration of a plan to keep Kazehaya from happiness for her own selfish ends. And barely even thought to try and cover it up! However Sawako would rather watch Kazehaya in the baseball game, and to Kurumi’s continuing frustration most of this goes right past Sawako, the rest being countered by Sawako’s Innocence-Field (I-Field for short.) The game ends in victory for Kazehaya and Ryuu’s team, but with Sawako looking at Ryuu as she tries to get up the courage to talk to someone new, Kazehaya gets a pang of jealousy. As insecure as he is though, at least he talks to Ryuu directly about it, preventing another of the misunderstandings that Kurumi feeds off. Evil does not rest, however, and Kurumi enters Pin’s classroom intent on getting access to the student schedule to better plan her upcoming false flag operation against Ryuu and Sawako, as well as her interception of Kazehaya. Surrounded by GN Pixy Dust particles, she calls on the dark deus ex machina powers of fellow terrorist organization Celestial Being to confuse Pin long enough to get what she needs and then books it before he can figure out what just happened.
All this plotting to undermine True Love and Friendship does not go unopposed however, and now Ayane makes her first intentionally visible move against Kurumi. This was the scene of the episode for me, Ayane came up on Vichy-tan and just shut her down with her analysis and deductive reasoning. Demonstrating complete control of the conversation to a shocked and dismayed Kurumi, Ayane came at her like Sherlock Holmes, linking together all the facts, motives, and actors with impeccable logic. She wants Kurumi to know that she knows and that she’s coming for her, but left the how up to Kurumi’s imagination. Such psychological warfare was beautiful to behold. Kurumi is eventually let go by Ayane, and proceeds to plant the false note in Ryuu’s locker, but Ayane is busy as well, plotting her next move even as the allies celebrate their volleyball victory. Ryuu gets the note, claiming to be from Sawako, and goes to the arranged meeting place to take his usual nap there and wait. Kurumi’s plan is going as envisioned as she directs Sawako to meet Ryuu and then goes off to find Kazehaya, but all is undone before long. Sawako asks Ryuu what love feels like, and although even a smooth guy like Ryuu has trouble explaining the concept he does impress Sawako by revealing that he’s in love with Chizu. The two are having a nice time discussing this when Kurumi directs Kazehaya to them, hoping to make him believe her lies and deceptions once more. But this too backfires on her, as Kazehaya goes right to Sawako and pulls a modified Nomiya Maneuver and runs off with her. Next time we’ll see where this walk leads, and I’m expecting good things. Hopefully a nice open talk between the two, brought up by this moment of action on Kazehaya’s part, will help them realize how the other feels. I also am greatly looking forward to Ayane’s plans, now in motion, to go after Kurumi. I’m sure they will be subtle yet devastating.
Crusader’s Record of Kazehaya War
Hey someone had to try and slap the shit out of you for all that crap you did in middle school Ume…
So this is how this Ume operates, certainly her would be supporters must be bowing their heads in shame for having faith in this lowly stalker that is bereft of any inclination ofYandere prowess. As I had feared Ume the Ugly has identified the weakest target in her continuing war on true love. I did enjoy Ume’s desperate attempt to present her case for true love, but all I see is an insatiable desire to claim Kazehaya as some sort of chattel. Her girlfriend denial operation back in middle school has left her tainted beyond redemption and Zeus will ensure that her love life will be consistently SMASHED INTO ATOMS. Having seen how Sanada was a superior example of manly virtue she tries to start a ship of Sawako and Sanada. While admittedly Sanada is a great guy his destiny is with his beloved Chizu and the spirit of Patrick keeps him on the straight and narrow. Sawako still benefits greatly from her naivete which further frustrates Ume whose tactics and strategies are overturned easily, for negative feelings are as alien to Sawako as decency is to Ume. With the useless Spikey Sensei being a retard Ume gets the information she needs to create a “misunderstanding” that she hopes to use in her favor. It was to be expected for Spiky-kuns are natural enemies of true love. Ayane sees Ume for the treacherous little bitch that Ume is and makes it clear that even without proof Ume is being watched and that Ume trickery will not avail her against Ayane. Still having to maintain a public facade impedes Ume from conforming to the Colasour manual of courtship for she is an out and out coward and son-of-a-bitch. While Ume was most certainly to trying to create false love Sawako is interested in Sanada as a friend and once and future husband of Chizuru. Ume thinks her plan is going well until Kazehaya doesn’t cower at the mere sight of Sawako and Ryu being together. Suffice to say Ume’s plans have been gloriously derailed by Kazehaya who finally acted with a sense of urgency and got off his ass to risk his heart.
I like how Ryu was offering Sawako sagely advice on this complicated thing we call true love, so good to see that they get along so well though if only Kazehaya had more faith in his friends. Speaking of freindship the number of friends Sawako has is expanding despite Ume’s pathetic efforts at disinformation. Hopefully soon having failed with all of her foul stratagems Ume will be revealed as the worthless enemy of true love we all know her to be. It would be most righteous if Kazehaya were to find out that Ume was the one behind all of Sawako’s problems, but I wonder if the boy has even the slightest inkling that Ume has been poisoning him from the start. While this post maybe late this wait for episode 13 has been most difficult
If only she lost a limb or two from frostbite…
Too bad she wasted her energy and efforts on such a foolish endeavor.
Wai Wai the number of friends grows.
Seeing as how Ume never worked a day in her life I wonder just what does she know about work.
Ume gets outmanuevered.
Ume’s OPSEC is so poor the dolt better figure it out at some point…
Hey get it when you can.
Keep it quiet but do make a mess of things…
De-nile will be formed from her Fake Tears.
Oh Sawako, she can’t even imagine herself as the target of identity theft.
Let me tell you about my best friend.
To level up to Patrick-Class try telling that to Chizuru.
Yes it’s certainly wonderful that Ryu feels that way.
Is that fear I sense Ume?
Love doesn’t always follow logic, for better or worse.
…
Hey watch it now have faith in your friend…
DAAAAAWWWWWWW…
Go get’em.
You’ve miscalculated, Ume…
ExecutiveOtaku’s Unadulterated Adoration of Sawako and Current Intelligence Report
First up, cool new episode title background. I do love the look of Ginko leaves in the fall, even if their fruit smells horrid.
Go peddle your mamoru-ism somewhere else!
I wish this had turned into…
…THIS!
No, not creepy at all Kurumi.
It may of been a blizzard, but she certainly didn’t shine in the storm.
Despicable. Just despicable.
I-Field ACTIVE!
EO’s DAAAAWWWWW of the Week.
The forces of True Love and Friendship excel in all they do.
More new friends of Sawako’s, it’s so nice to see her sincerity winning over so many, so quickly.
He is as wise as he is smooth.
Not so great at remembering names though.
Ryuu is just about as straightforward and to the point as Sawako sometimes. All the better to prevent misunderstandings.
Awkward, but better to get it over with than to let Kurumi’s falsehoods persist. Kazehaya’s moments of jealousy are unwarranted and maybe a little paranoid, but in a way they’re kind of cute in a ‘mixed up kid’ kind of way. He’s not going overboard with it, so I’m sure he’ll learn to be more secure in the future.
Pin definitely realized something was up, but was a bit too slow to do anything about it. This use of GN Pixy Dust by Kurumi points to material links between Kurumi and FTO Celestial Being.
I loved Ayane’s intimidation talk this episode. We know you started the rumors, Kurumi. We’ve got Yuuka’s testimony and an eyeball witness. Confess and maybe the prosecutor can cut you a deal!
Wouldn’t you agree, Kurumi?
Ayane has Sherlock Holmes’ deductive abilities, and you’re no Moriarty, Kurumi.
LEVERAGE!
Trash from trash.
I don’t know why, but I loved the ‘very red’ comment.
“Even in light, shadows must fall.” It’s time to get all Oberstein on Kurumi’s ass.
Recharging for his intense shonen baseball training later.
LAID-BACK, with his mind on his Chizu and his Chizu on his mind.
I hereby declare Ryuu my Male Character of the Season. Cool as ice, but genuinely nice and caring and a master of his profession. He’s like the shoujo-series version of Max from SDF Macross.
An excellent shot, I loved the surrounding darkness of the inside of the classroom illustrating her dark intent.
OH, SHUT DOWN!

Kurumi was basically shut down on all levels. Ayane did a masterful stroke. The poor girl (Kurumi…zawa) will soon crumble into a pile of loathe and self pity screaming ‘I don’t want to die’ at the bottom of the ocean.
Meanwhile, Kazehaya will resolve the end of episode ‘dilemma’ with seeing Sadako with Ryuu pretty quickly as it’s not really a dilemma and thus that will be that.
I enjoyed hearing the piano piece in the last scene. It seemed to embody the poison that Wormtongue was spreading everywhere. Shota’s counterattack is the beginning of the destruction of this dangerous foe. Her mind is rattling from this change in events and we can NOT let up, we must continue the assault, pushing her further and further to the brink of despair. I will not be satisfied till her soul is broken like glass, shoved into a rocket and sent to the sun to disappear for all eternity.
@Epi
Watch it there buddy saying Kurumi is a “poor girl” is tantamount to sympathizing with the enemy…
@Cherubium
Here here! Such villainy as perpetuated by Kurumi ought to have such weighty consequences, possibly more.

The face Ume made at that particular moment will forever haunt my dreams…
(Hi by the way, from a long time reader, but first time poster)
@ ichime
She does have a way with faces, both evil and falsely sweet. But even at her most devious her evil fades like a shadow before the light of day when confronted with the power of True Love and Friendship!
Nice to meet you, and welcome to the comments
Great post, I just recently caught up, because I thought the series was over at 13! arghhhh, now I’m on the same weekly pace. But I wholeheartedly agree, Ryuu finally has more lines, and it fills out his character nicely. Within the moment where he finally talks, he makes a point and suddenly you understand his conversation with Chizu when he was offering to cheer her up. It reminded me of the ending of Adaptation, when the brother has an epiphany while he was dying.
bastante bueno el blog ya que muestran foos de todo el capitulo
tal vez podrian poner muchos mas ya que este es fantastico!!!
bye-bye
Kurumi is a bitch
