My thoughts on Mirai Nikki 7:
This show is so delightfully wrong.
Reisuke was fun. I wonder where he got all his sick equipment. Also, turned out to be a lot less naive than I thought he'd be. I actually thought that would be his downfall when it was, in fact, Yuki and Yuno's sheer determination and loyalty to each other that did him in (although you'd have to put quotations marks around the word "loyalty" in regards to Yuki as it's a little hard to tell exactly how much of his action towards Yuno at this point is calculated and how much is really sincere).
Speaking of Yuki, I can't say I wasn't a little bit surprised when he got Reisuke with that dart. It's still only a little bit, but he is starting to become a bit more ruthless, if only out of necessity. I kind of want to see Yuki become a lot more ruthless, see more of Yuno rubbing off on him, if you will. I think it would be interesting.
This episode also brought up an issue I have been pondering: what will happen when only Yuki and Yuno are left? I do think Deus set up the Survival Game at least partially out of necessity, so if it ever came to that I have no doubt he'd throw something into the mix that would give the kids no choice. My prediction is that the kids will eventually promise that should one die, the other will bring them back to life when they become a god. That is the only way I see Yuno being okay with killing Yuki, at least. As for Yuki, it would either be that, or Yuno would have to do something so inconceivably horrible that he would have no choice but to kill her. Would she fight back, I wonder? Perhaps if she thought he wouldn't bring her back. Here's another idea: I'm pretty sure Yuno's got the tragic past thing going on (based on the stuff we saw at the beginning of the first episode). If Yuki finds out about it and somehow manages to not totally lose himself by the end of the Survival Game and ends up winning, he could rewrite history to make it so that Yuno could have a happy childhood.
Ugh, I really want to get a look at Yuno's past, as well as see why she's so obsessed with Yuki. The "13-year-old marriage promise" story is not convincing me.
And how about Fourth getting involved in the kids to this extent? Based on what Ninth said, I'm thinking that he and her are in on some big secret about Yuno. The nature of it seems dubious, though, since they apparently found it alright to let her live. Hmm.
