| I mostly agree with Jacut. What I especially like is what Lily told Mario about him not being a real man. Anyone who thinks these kids were real men or 'manly' in the first place were very, very mistaken. This was easily the most mature episode they've aired yet. |
| Great episode! I really didn't expect Ishihara and the doctor to get defeated yet (if they are).Also loved Joe showing them who's the boss :). But I feel really sorry to whereever Ishihara transfers to. He's gonna rage at his new victims to blow off some steem. This series started good, then got a bit worse but is now recovering and getting even better. Want to see how this turns out.. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Amazing i want mario to get stronger and win in boxing |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| One of the best Dramas I've seen recently, and not only in anime media. |
 |
| badass and sad also... awesome ep |
MorningGlory said: i think I fell in love with the Narrator ^^ Yeah she's good isn't she? ^^ Very good episode with lots of developments. The whole setting of a boxing match was nice. I also enjoy the blackmail. I loled so much with those two idiots faces when Jou got up took a smoke and all that. Another nice thing is seeing Setsuko and Sakuragi's relationship going good. Hope they end up together. Can't wait for next episode now that we have other developments too. |
| Haha, Joe was pro here, standing up to those 2. |
 |
| Joe's a fucking badass <33333 |
 |
| I can't believe that stupid Lilly thought putting a 16 year old in the ring with a seasoned GI would be OK!!! Glad to see that Sakuragi is getting better and the perverted Dr. and Ishihara are doing worse!! Marry me, Joe...<3 |
 |
| It was so nice to see that those bastards don't have the upper hand anymore...And the characters start to develop.Great episode!! |

| Mario got schooled lol. This ep felt like Hajime No Rainbow. Seriously, An-chan IS Takamura's Seiyuu, get him in the ring and let him wreck people lol. I seriously am glad Gay Doc and Ishiwhatever are gone now. I hope they stay gone for a long time. Sakuragi's got Setsuko on lock. |
 |
| One of the best episodes I have ever seen. |
shanimebib said: Thats all folks. Next episode is 'Vengeance' and An-chan will be there to bring the boxer out of Mario. I'll never get why people go out of their way to type the entire summary of an episode, when someone makes a post in an episode thread because THEY JUST SAW THE EPISODE. Fucking dumb. Best episode in the series, loved everything that happened, and the loss was a hard lesson for Mario. Couldn't help but sigh but and go "typical American behavior" when they got a kick out of beating the shit out of citizens of a very defeated nation at the time. |
 |
| Dat boxing match, damn Mario had it tough this time around. |
 |
| lol kinda reminded me of a scene from ip man |
 |
| True broship. I got teary eyed watching the scene where they played rock paper scissors to decide who goes back to the prison. |
 |
| LOL Joe was fucking bad-ass. Anyways, its nice to see different elements in this anime. Romance AND Boxing? I'm cool with that. |
 |
| Every second of this episode was engaging and entertaining |
 |
| This is getting better and better, it's nice to see a different environment from the penitentiary. |
| Wow I guess I was too negative last episode :P I didn't think they would get Setsuko to help, and it's convenient that they have a place to stay as well. I'm glad they're able to move on now, and Jou. Fucking badass. Love that guy more and more. His confidence was overwhelming against Sasaki and Ishihara, finally the rest won't have to live under that terrible treatment. parfaited said: Mario learned the difference between fighting and boxing. I like that. They might have been in a reformatory center but they are still kids. Yeah, Mario and Suppon were too naive to think that they could win the match, but of course that's not bad, it's a good start for them to learn about the world more. I love how Sakuragi doesn't reprimand them but instead tells Mario that they will be training ^^ Lily seems like a cool character too. |
| Setsuko rocks :D ISHARA!!! That fucker.... At least he got transferred and blackmailed. Joe is the bro! Mario simply wasn't ready especially with that hand. |
| I hope the anime doesn't start to just focus on Mario boxing, this is what I have Hajime no Ippo for dammit! |
 |
| Jou, holy, he was so cool back there. It's painful to see Mario like that, and the narrator made everything better. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Another impressive episode, I really wonder what will happen next! |
 |
| This anime is definitely special, love it. But ishara is looking for them i guess? I wonder where we go from here, i don't want it to be purely focused on his boxing. I can't wait for the meet up under the tree though, i will cry so ahrd i know it. |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| Do their hair never grow? Or do they have the luxury to cut their hair? |
 |
| Joe was badass this episode. Seeing him completely dish out the pain to Ishihara and Sasaki was satisfying as hell. Looks like this anime is starting to focus less on the reformatory setting. I wonder if Turtle, Mario, and Sakuragi will get captured? Will this anime now focus on Mario getting better at boxing? Only time will tell. Great episode. I can't wait to see Mario become GAR. 8/10 |
| Joe giving no fucks! Hahaha. He does have the upper hand though, so he knows they can't touch him :) I'm liking how now we're gonna be seeing how their lives develop outside of that prison. |
| I have a bed feeling |
| My favorite quotes from animes: Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies. I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass We are humans. - Shinsekai yori 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! - One punch man |
| Well this is going a completely different way than what I was expecting. Still very good, just different. I imagine everything is going to start crumbling soon enough since there's so many episodes left. |

| he should have really not forced his hand there...but hey, at least they met that girl...she seems interesting :) Also, the doctor and the cop quit so easily? i wouldn't belive it 5/5 (i'm glad they didn't get caught) |

Jacut said: By very far the best episode of the series. The main difference between this episode and the previous ones is that it was a gray one, powerful, moving and bittersweet at the same time. No biased morals or pseudo-epic developments, it made sense, was very realistic and almost Ashita no Joe-like at the end. I agree with all of that. Joe punking Sasaki and Ishihara as well as Mario's epic, depressing, no ass pull boxing fight were epic moments. |
| Je trempe mes cookies dans tes larmes. |
| Setsuko saved the day. I liked how Joe "defeated" Ishihara and Sasaki. Mario was destroyed in that match. |
 |
| I thought she was going to sue them for sure after Turtle told her about they were from that disciplinary school, damn it was a big loss. |
| I never expected for the action to take place outside the juvenile detention facility. This new arc could be pretty interesting and I really like the new lady character. Still expect Ishihara to come back with a furious vengeance. |

| Was that a kiss when Setsuko leaned her head down to Sakuragi's face? Dam that another heartless bastard (Ref). Hope Mario gets super good and repays Lily! |
| well I am glad the story is progressing outside of cell... The real life struggles just continue huh |
 |
| Setsuko instant Waifu <3 |
| To think that a single person can be the difference between heaven, and hell. Without Setsuko they wouldn't have a place to stay and hide, they wouldn't have anything to eat, and they wouldn't be able to treat their Bro, who was so weakened. They did everything they could to save him from that place, and they succeeded, but without a way to nurse him to health it would all be for nothing; Setsuko is truly an angel, but I'm worried. Unfortunately she is close to that demon because of her job, and sooner or later he is bound to realize that she is their ally. But I was so glad to see those three sleeping so peacefully, a pity Ishihara is an incorrigible, cowardly scum who didn't waste any time into trying to kill Soldier, Cabbage, and Uncovered. Seriously, what are the other guards even doing? I can't help but think that they truly don't care at all. But well, Bro realized that this was going to happen, and asked one of them to return to that hell, and Joe, out of his own will, went back. He knew he was the target of that repulsive demon, even more so after strangling him like that, but he still went back, played it tough, and it worked! They have that proof, I knew Sakuragi had it, but there were no guarantees that it would work so well. They are now living in peace, but by the preview this isn't going to last much unfortunately. It seems that even though Mario learned a thing or two he isn't able to face a boxer yet, but that woman was an interesting character! I thought that Turtle was really foolish when he named the place from which they ran away, I guess he let his guard down, and this may cost them. But let's see what happens now, I want to believe that the title of the next episode, "vengeance", is this one because Mario is going to train under Sakuragi, and defeat that boxer, and not because those two demons are going to be able to do something against them. |
 |
| Setsuko is such a sweetie omg. I love her so much. "Your game is winner takes all, okay?" "Ok Ok Anything OK!" Oboy. As soon as he said this I was like "He's gunna fucking lose now..." |
 |
| Turtle's a fucking idiot; it's like he's completely forgotten that they are supposed to be undercover because THEY ESCAPED PRISON. Dropping this because this cloying tone is way too hamfisted. |
