Another awesome episode! Slowly piecing together the puzzle to their pasts, pretty sad.. Now we know where his eye went.

I was really hoping Doug stayed around, but I guess not. He does not look 21 at all lol..

Ally is starting to become more likable for me. Looks like we are getting some new plot development next week. Can't wait!

What a piece of shit Worrick's dad was, he got what he deserved. And Nic was treated like a stray dog even by his own father, gosh. The girl from the opening finally appeared, I was curious about who she was. Is Nic a lolicon? lol. So Doug wasn't a bad guy, just wanted to fight strong taggs.
I think Worrick and Alex would make a great couple, I'm loving their interactions so far. He genuinely cares about her despite all her problems and traumas, even though they have known each other for a brief period. He could have had advantage of her (like the last episode) but he didn't, happy about that!...there is definitely some interest from Worrick's side in my opinion. Hope something happens between them!

That past, damn. Beyond cruel. Worick's father got what he deserved, now I would like to see Nico's father just like that too. Nicolas and Worick still fantastic characters as always.

Another great episode! We found out that Worrick's father burned his eye with the cigarette and Nicolas ended up taking hit left eye out entirely, so that's why he wears an eye-patch. Nicolas being abandoned by his 'father' was quite sad too. I liked the bit with Doug and Nicolas interacting with each other. Doug ended up being a pretty cool guy. Alex learning some sign language and Nicolas acting slightly tsundere was a nice scene. That woman killing those twilights at the end, geezus...

Man what an emotional flashback episode!

I so wanted to kill Worwick's father myself after seeing what he did to his son! That piece of shit deserved to die and to be hacked into little pieces!

Props to Nico for making it happen!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

Wow <3 Nico's smile there was kind of heart breaking

Both had such rough pasts, Worricks dad deserved what he got tbh.

Nico and Worrick seem to have a very complicated relationship (or friendship - if you could call it that) I remember reading somewhere that Worrick stated he wouldnt mind if Nico died but I dont know how true he is to himself when he says that - he seems to need Nico and vice versa, they aren't necessarily good for one another but at the time they were all each other had I guess.

When Worick says "I will force you to live ! You will feel a lot of pain from now on ! You will live as long as you can" ; "It's an order !" only shows Woricks' love for Nic. He is not mad, he said that because Nic was able to give everything for Worick and then killhimself so that we would free Worick from is life (he would be the killer and if he comitted suicide, Worick would be free.). That's why they both are now wanted crimminals.


He said it was an order for Nic understand that he was serious. So basically, a great episode and a great background story ;) Bromance 100%

I liked seeing Nic play with Nina, it was cute.

Backstory is really good but depressing, that's quite a complicated relationship between Worick and Nic.

Alex trying out sign language with Nic was a great scene aswell.

I am really liking the backstory, a lot. It's established Worrick & Nicolas' character so well. And it seemed this episode was the end of their backstory. Let's see what kind of problem they will face.

Probably we will now see the rest of the twilight story.. as well as Alex's problem being resolved.

Then, we still have to see what happened to that girl before Alex and the resolution of this pressure between the gangs and the mafia.

Oh my God, I was on the edge to drop a tear or two. It was so sad. Аt times I couldn't keep my eyes on the screen, seeing those poor young souls suffering from their scums of fathers. I don't freaking fucking care what kind of death their dads have befell, THOSE PIECES OF SHIT DESEREVED IT.

I like Alex's character now; I was neutral about her at first. And Nina is such cuuuutie~ ^^

Doug is gonna turn 21 but I doubt he'll get any taller, lol. Welcome to the club of shorties, buddy XD

Finally, best girl makes her appearance.... actually, make that best girls. I have to be honest, when it comes to female characters, Gangsta is top level. Not saying the male characters are bad, but I usually don't see many female characters that I like more than the male characters. Characters like Rossette, Saki and Mary are somewhat rarities for me.

But, I really wish if the anime was identical to the manga very well.

However, it's amazing anime.

Great episode, more about the past of Nicolas and Worick was shown, and the relationship is not as good as expected, the characters seem to be becoming darker and more problems will come, and I'm really excited to continue watching, especially to see more fights ..

Ah! They finally animated it! They covered some important and interesting parts: Worick losing an eye and Nic murdering the Arcangelo family. I'm glad they did. Of course they would, but I thought it would happen later. Well, now time to focus on the next threat. I wonder who these two are exactly. I'm resisting looking at spoilers. I'll have to wait until next week.

I really like how Alex is connecting with the boys. And the boys... Well, their relationship is complicated, but I still like how well they understand each other. I don't think Worick hates Twilights. Well, I don't know that much about him. Maybe he does. But it doesn't seem like he really does. He thinks of Nic as a friend, no? Or so he said a few episodes ago.

Still shipping WorickxAlex.

Ack, I really want to watch the next episode already. I love this anime. One of my favorites of the season.

Really nice episode fleshing out more of nic's and worick's past. The shot of younger wallace sitting next to older wallace clearly showing that he is forever haunted by his younger self's experiences.

I was a little confused why wallace was angry at nicolas for killing his father. Was it because he gave his father too easy a death? I would imagine wallace would have wanted his father to suffer more. That's all I could think of when wallace reacted so angrily to what Nic did that night. Also, pulling out wallace's eye "You don't need that anymore" ouch.

I totally ship Nicolas and Ally however I think it would be a short-lasted bittersweet relationship due to Nic's life always being at risk and with that ending scene of the Twilight hunter walking past I feel Nic's life is in even more danger. Ally and Wallace seem to be the direction this is going but Ally taking the time to learn sign language is so nice.

I haven't read the manga of this so I don't know what's going to happen but I sense impending doom for Nicolas. Is it just me?

Overall though. I felt this to be a tragic episode when learning of Nicolas' past and how he has been treated but mainly pretty calm in terms of the present events. I'm in love with this series so far.

Awesome ep.

Doug's reaction to Nic being deaf realizing he was talking all that shit for nothing was funny and Nic's smug face when he was nodding sideways "nope" about Doug being smart enough to know sign language was so lolololol

That's quite a fun game Nina's playing with Nic being held jumping that high. She was so cute when he pinched her cheeks. Nina is just too adorable <3

Lol'd so much at Nic telling Alex her sign language sucks XD

Poor Nic, his father is the lowest type of scum on Earth. And so is Worrick's burning his eye with a cigarette like that. DAMN!

Nic's smile when he was abandoned was so damn friggin sad ;_;

This describes everything I wanted say
