The doctor is easily the most disgusting character in the show. The look when he smelled his hand after that 'inspection' was gag-inducing.

Oh. My. God.
Ready to cry for Mario (although it WAS kind of stupid what he did). Seriously, that made me cry. And yesssssss for Sakuragi punching the hell out of those bastards. Will get him trouble, but guess what I think he believes it's worth it. Me too, by the way.
Tell me how it feels, breaking down the old walls.

For me I think the doctor has come to a point that it cannot be saved.During the first episode,he acted as if he is a good guy and now......
Although this is a bit risky to put my bet on ...I gonna bet Ishihara will change into a good guy and help Sakuragi further in the future episode.
( just hope he will feel sorry for Mario's hand )

What are you dreaming of? This anime trys to stay somewhat realistic. In the real world, that would never ever happen. Mario's hand also is gonna be useless for boxing for the rest of his life.

If An-chan dies (and that's what I suspect will happen [pay attention at the opening: in the scene with everyone released, An-chan isn't there]), I will cry. Possibly more than ever before (caused by anime, that is).
Actually I am not even sure the following message is a reply for me or not...But anyway I gonna reply it some how...
Ya,Mario's hand won't be heal and the its the fact,even losing one of the hand ,I think he won't giving up on saving Sakuragi.His sacrifice(hand) will make every change their mind.

Great episode after the 4th one which was disappointing tbh.

Couldn't agree more. Even the Ishihara's malice is down a level compared to that sick jiji.


Mario is just a kid thinking with emotions, so I can totally understand why would that character act the way it did.

WOW! Another great episode. 5/5

I really heate Ishihara and that doctor.. Why are they doing that to Sakuragi anyway?
And poor Mario.. What he did was kind of stupid, but understandable.

Funny episode. There was just so much I couldn't take seriously (the new guard smiling when looking in on the 6, the whole discussion of what they'd do when they got out, Sakuragi being thrown to the lions, etc.) and actually laughed more than this last episode of Arakawa Under the Bridge. But the short respite with the doctor smelling his hand is easily the best thing the show has done thus far. I also don't like the stupid Ippo eyes that Sakuragi gets.

Poor Mario, I hope his hand will heal somehow.
The Doctor and Ishihara really deserve to get a good beating.
And also ,it's good to see that Sakuragi gave the bullies what they deserved.( too bad that in the end he did exactly what the doctor and ishihara wanted him to...)

And Mario has just gone out of his way to become a noob, that is just FUCKIN WHY?

Is it just me or did the Doctor actually missing something from his lower half of his body? >_<

Does that means that Sakuragi doesn't fight back because of pride? Refuse to lose to his own feeling?....Letting people to hit him but not getting angry.

I think knowing that they're all Ishihara's men, he just didn't want to give them a reason for keeping him in the reformatory after all, he is about to get free.

This episode was awsome but I can't stifle this uneasy feeling in me that something terribly bad will happen, I'm sure with Sakuragi...
I was shocked when they crushed Mario's hand.
Really, really impressive~~

You really don't like this show, right? Well nothing wrong with that.
Actually you don't see the new guard smiling so...


Well the episode was good in itself. I thought it was going too far in the "unfairness". Guess I don't like the ugly=bad people so far. Rainbow is such a messed up world. I mean there are lots of fights in prison, even stabbing or rape and there's this guy who can beat the shit out of everyone but does not and prefer to act level headed with his Bro Code. Well it's nice yet he should still beat the crap out of the guys in his cell and if he ever got questioned about it, just blame those fuckers and say they tried to beat and rape each other since there is no witness nor evidence.

That's what I thought too ^^ He is even worse than Ishihara...

Well, it was a good episode, but after those heart-warming scenes at the beginning, I just knew something bad was going to happen. Poor Sakuragi, I hope he is somehow going to get out of that place... He is in a big truoble now.

And now Rainbow's looking more and more like Hajime no Ippo. I didn't know a boxer's training and prison life could be so alike, with all the epicness, manliness and drama involved.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

I thought I hated Ishihara and the Doctor before...Now I really hate them.

"Oh my God." is exactly what I said when I saw Mario's beaten hand. It probably won't heal, seeing how screwed up it is, but hopefully he gets through it.
Go Sakuragi for finally beating those assholes.

We don't see him smile, but going off of his disposition and want to take care of them, I assume that's what he did. At the very least, he took a lesson from Tyra Banks and learned how to smize.

I really like that nice guard who smiled at Mario in the beginning, and tried to get help in the end. My rage really boils when I see the stupidity of those guys. But, not everyone is a peace maker. Anyways, I hope Marios hand is okay and Bro beats there asses.

I thought, at first, that they were going to rape Bro. I was so damn scared >.<

If literally having burning power in your eyes is stupid, then I feel pretty silly. 'Cause I do that all the time. =P

Man I love this show. I'm connecting with the drama, the characters, and of course the burning manliness. The end of that episode was badass stuff, the over-the-top awesome guitar sells it.

Now my main concern is how far they'll take it, I'd hope they cover all 22 volumes of the manga. At the moment only 13 episodes are listed for this on AnimeNewsNetwork, here's hoping that it goes longer than that. 26 episodes minimum I'd hope.

...THAT DOCTOR!
I knew he was a creeper.
When I started this anime I had a mindset like "someones ganna to get raped" ... but seriously DO NOT FUCKING WANT, and why would he rape that dood when Jou is around? :>
Also I can't help but to cringe my teeth in anger every time Ishihara has screen time. He just makes me so physically mad.

I really hope those spoilers aint true.

Anyhow, I loved this episode just like the other episodes. Ishihara is a faggot but he's a really good character which fit perfectly in this show.

And poor Mario, I can understand him enraging like that. But now, shit hit the fan
I don't think Bro will be released after 3 weeks after all this.

you think he can jab with his right hand, its not because i practiced boxing, anyone who has a bit knowledge about that sport knows how important jab is.

with his hand like that, it will be a miracle if he can become a boxer.

Am I the only one who thought the first half felt like an ending to the series?

Otherwise, I honestly almost laughed at some parts because of how over-the-top it was. This show looked like it was going to be pretty intense at first, but lately it's just felt cliched and predictable.

Hmm... anime is becoming more and more yelly and screamy with a touch of boy rape and smashed fingers. QUEUE HAJIME NO IPPO!!!!

Boxing sequence is obvious next episode. The "tragic" scenes, made me laugh. That guy sniffing his fingers and his eyes rolling back... MmmMmMm shitty fingarz. Then the moron gets his hand smash for no apparent reason. I mean really? IN PRISON, you are going to apolgize to the guy you just punched? Give me a break! Typical anime fashion: "Hurt me just don't hurt my bro!!"

Hajime no Prison Break. Or maybe Hajime no Oz should be a better title for this drama infested boxing anime.

Seriously just enduring this title so i can give it a 5 or maybe a 6 if theres more boy rapes.
