Summary:
On the way to school one morning, Yuuji urges Konoe to tell him anything that’s troubling her, but Konoe’s closeness to Yuuji isn’t making Shana very happy. Gym class today consists of cleaning the pool, and Yuuji and Kazumi have the extra task of keeping watch over Konoe because of how she recklessly chases a butterfly around. They all end up getting soaked when Eita tries to get back at Ogata for spraying him with water. During lunchtime, Yuuji catches Konoe staring at the two lunches Kazumi and Shana made for him, so he offers her some of both. Kazumi is okay with this, but Shana is visibly irritated. On the way home, Yuuji, Shana, Kazumi, and Konoe come across a new restaurant that’s opening tomorrow, so Yuuji suggests that they all come then. Konoe wanders off on her own while the other three aren’t looking, so they have to run after her. When Shana lectures her for it, Konoe apologizes and grabs onto Yuuji’s shirt, but this only gets Shana angrier. Konoe then senses something in the air and pulls on Yuuji’s shirt to indicate that she wants to go somewhere. That place turns out to be a park where she is able to attract a bird to her outstretched hand.
Meanwhile, Keisaku is filling Margery in on how there was nothing suspicious about Konoe, and Wilhelmina reports that Outlaw has no information either on the Bal Masqué resuming their activities. Keisaku doesn’t know what Outlaw is, so Wilhelmina explains that it’s an information exchange place for Flame Hazes. Yuuji and Shana are training at this time, though he complains that she’s being more violent than usual. He manages to dodge her attack and starts to activate his own power, but she quickly responds by smacking his hand. Despite this, Alastor notes that Yuuji’s senses are remarkably keen and is keeping secret a power of existence equaling a lord of the crimson realm. He thinks that Yuuji could find a new path different from a Mystes and Torch depending on his growth development from now on – a path that only Yuuji can walk. The following day, the entire group – including Ike, Keisaku, Sato, and Ogata – arrives at the new restaurant that serves huge portions of food. Konoe disappears sometime during Keisaku’s competing with Yuuji in trying to eat an entire bowl of ramen, however the group doesn’t notice her absence until after both guys have finished eating.
Yuuji wants to go look for Konoe, but Shana thinks that it’s not necessary and questions why he feels that he has to. Yuuji replies that it’s because he was put in charge of helping her, though Shana points out that this isn’t school, and she feels that Konoe had already been warned not to move around on her own. When Shana decides to go home, Yuuji chases after her and asks why she’s angry, but Shana claims that she’s not. She thinks he should just leave Konoe alone, though she’s unable to tell him that the reason is because she doesn’t like how Konoe is getting close to him. Shana then runs off, and Yuuji heads in the other direction to look for Konoe. He ends up finding her in the same park as yesterday, and it appears that she had saved a small bird from a stray cat. Seeing her like this reminds Yuuji greatly of Hecate, and he finds himself looking very closely at her. Unbeknownst to them, Kazumi happens to arrive at the park at this very moment and sees the two smiling at each other. The image of them together stays with her for the rest of the night, and Kazumi realizes that she might be jealous. As for Shana, she doesn’t show up for Yuuji’s training session and sends Wilhelmina instead.
The next day, Yuuji walks to school with only Konoe, and Shana and Kazumi are clearly avoiding him. This is most apparent at lunchtime when Kazumi has Ike bring Yuuji the lunch that she made for him, and she instead eats on the rooftop with Shana.

Well, with the way she’s tearing Yuuji apart from Kazumi and Shana, I guess Konoe doesn’t really need to be evil. Something like this doesn’t seem like it would have been the goal of sending her here (assuming she is indeed Hecate), though getting close to Yuuji could be. On that note, where exactly does Konoe live? The absence of parents could be as good an indicator as any that she was sent by Bel Peol. Anyway, Shana and Kazumi should just band together against her, but I imagine they probably wouldn’t be able to do so right now without having to go against Yuuji too.
Production-wise, the animation quality took a hit this week. There weren’t any major action scenes here though, so they might be saving up for a later episode. I also think the story isn’t quite going as well as it could be – the pool scene in particular was completely unnecessary, and you could argue that the restaurant scene was too. They felt like they were fluff parts that didn’t contribute much at all to the story. What does intrigue me though is how they keep hinting at Yuuji’s increased powers, and I’m curious to see what he can do in future episodes.

What’s this?!?!? A brief moment of Yuji being cool/battle competent?!?
Why did they have to put Konoe in there??? If she is Hecate.. but if she is just a character to make Shana and Kazumi appart from Yuji, I’ll kill someone!!!
I hate pointless characters
At least the show isn’t as dull and reptitive as a certain other big name show out there. Of all the shows that are airing I think Shakugan No Shana has picked up it’s story the quickest.
^
Oh I get it, sarcasm.
But no, story or not (The world’s balance? Who the fuck cares, let’s go eat some big ass plates), the love square is interesting to watch by itself.
I mean, look at the next week’s episode title. That’s some rich stuff.
The only interesting part in this episode seem to be the training with shana. I’m not sure but I think Yuuji can’t control his new insane power, et nearly released a huge quantity of power of existence.
Kaioshin Sama :

Yep ur right Shana’s story is always good cause no fillers or anything. But show are talking about that is repetitive.
You know, Konoe’s bracelet, I wonder if that thing made her Human(she’s got to be Hecate)?
Yeah finally.
Meh, it’s all good. At least this show doesn’t drag on with a giant flashback (like all the others do). As for Konoe, it’s a sudden change since she is/might be Hecate.
Damn this show. Even though I understood very little of the raw, I couldn’t help but get my SnS2 fix. =P
Anyways, I think that cat with Konoe is most likely Sydonay with his metamorphosis powers.
What’s up with Wilhemina going to Margery’s place?
Aarrgghh…must..be..patient. Need.to.wait.for.the.subs. =\
cool need more!!!!!!!!
I just realized something, why the hell are Shana’s stockings black?
new episode!! -claps-
oh wow!!! too good^^
it seem that triangle love has becoming square love… in my opinion , hecate/konoe like yuji becouse she abosrd too much yuji feeling and wanted to be 1 with him as it stated in season 1

That is the largest meal I have ever seen.
vallla . pasaron de una trama belica a unan romatica y dejaron las batalla de lado si no puedes capturarlo has que se enamore d eti . seguro esa le mision de hecate Xd
Kaioshin, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out who you’re having a go at.
We know about your endless one-man crusade against Kyo-Ani, so can you please take your sarcastic dig at Clannad and other Kyo-Ani works somewhere else rather than come here and think you can escape the rebuttals (reasonable or not) the Kyo-Ani admirers might give you in the Clannad threads? This is a Shana thread, if you want to criticize Clannad, do it in the Clannad thread.
Anyway, back on topic. The show is seriously on original story mode now, the only consolation is Noto Mamiko’s cute performance as Hecate-lookalike. I still think this Hecate-clone has parts of her powers, like subconsciously sensing where the birds are and when they’re in danger.
I personally find it hilarious that Shana actually joins a lonely Kazumi for lunch at the rooftop. We now have a conspiracy to remove Hecate-clone formed. 😀
Lol am I the only one who sees that Konoe is a Hecate clone made from birds. Notice how Yuuji tried to get the bird from feather from her head in episde 3 but couldnt. How Konoe is always with birds? She is related to birds in someway, most likely due to that guy who visited Bel Peol at the end of episode 3.

Beautiful, totally beautiful.
The least likely theory would be this: Konoe is actually the union result between Hecate and Yuji shortly after season 1. Konoe is probably Yuji’s daughter which is probably why she holds onto the hem of his shirt.

This episode was wasted air time…
I hope they are going somewhere with the Konoe story besides her being a love rival.
yuuji’s new power huh? here is a hint: (Keep on watching until the end!)http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/661252/2564991.gif
Don’t click if you don’t want to get spoiler’d! 😀
There are so many girls around Yuuji. O_o
shesh once more I have to wonder whether there is a limit for japanese boys at being dense. Seriously, how can somebody be so clueless?
About hecate: am i the only one noticing hecate shows up at the end of teh “opening scene” , hence you will know she is deffo hecate at some point? I personally think she became totaly human because she was filled with emotions, and she lost all her energy when she unleashed it when she synchronised with yuji.
I wonder if the Flame Hazes know the concepts of souls. Yuji might suspect that Konoe may be Hecate by looking into her soul, something that no Unrestricted Method can reveal.
at this rate they should make a shakugan no shana eroge 🙂
something that overflow from my heart when i saw the first chapter for the 2nd of shana
but now for the role that depend on love story about yuuji and another girl (if konoe isn’t hecate)
wanna kill someone!
Darn it.. I really hope yuuji has no “intimate” feelings for Konoe.. *sigh* oh well, i can’t wait for the next episode..
What the fuckkkkkkkkkk….
First season was way better, none of this boring crap that goes nowhere.
In Episode 21 of this season, Yuji kills Wilhelmina with the Blutsauger in a rage. This season is the last time you’ll see the Flame Haze maid alive.
thansk for teh spoiler.
Ugh I’m just not into the love triangle like some of you guys are. Yuji’s inability to recongnize a girls feelings is really pissing me off. Also Shana and Yoshida are at fault too. Konoe is so obviously EVIL!!
