She should have spoken out when Mario was first arrested. However all rape and sexual assault victims around the world have trouble making light of these crimes. I'm glad and thankful how she was able to pick herself up and prove Mario's innocence.

Then when she said "I never have friends who would go this far for me", I agree, most of us don't.

Soldier was badass this episode. Seeing him take those hits for Mario was awesome.

Turns out that the prosecutor's only friend was none other than Uncovered's deceased father.

Seeing the prosecutor's heart soften was nice.

Looks like Mario has escaped the jaws of the hell and despair.

Dammit Rainbow! Every episode seems like a finale now! What the hell's gonna happen next?!

This episode was quite heart-warming. I'm really wondering how these last 10 episodes are gonna go.

8/10 This anime hasn't been very dark since the end of the first half. I'm wondering if a dark plot twist is imminent?

These group of friends go so far for each other. Really heartwarming episode.

Too big of a coincidence that the prosecutor's friend was Uncovered's dad, but I guess I don't mind it too much.

I'm excited to see the stories of the other guys.

Bravo, Baremoto, for saying that. The prosecutor kinda redeemed himself.
Glad that the girl spoke. Poor her, though.
Their friendship makes me happy, man.

I'm surprised that it was that "easy" I expected him to end in the slammer a lot longer.

That was awesome. I feel bad for the girl but luckily Mario took the blame and covered for her not revealing the secret to go to the reform school. Without that he wouldnt have made such great friends! Dam that was so cool when it turned out that the guy was friends with Ryuji's dad in the war.

This was so moving, this has to be one of my favorites so far! Such a pure, selfless devotion for someone else, I can't. Uncovered, Soldier, and Cabbage were the MVPs this time, to see the lengths they went to save their friend.

So the prosecutor was a soldier himself, and he was directing his frustration of having lost the war, and his friend at the cases that went to him, to think that Uncovered was the son of the friend he lost, this is one big coincidence, but I can overlook it. To think he would endure not being treated as a human worth of respect after being a free man, it's the stigma I guess, he even did the dogeza in a desperate attempt to be heard, and thanks to the written statement that Soldier put his body in danger for, and the testimony Cabbage won with his earnestness, Mario is now finally a free man like them, he truly has the best of friends.

Maybe now Mario will finally think he is worth of Setsuko, and try to prevent her from doing the mistake of marrying for the sake her family, and I will finally be able to see Joe singing!

Man, this episode was drenched in melodrama to the point it felt like a bit much. But this is the sort of melodrama I can get behind; I started tearing up here, not gonna lie.

And once again Rainbow subverts my expectations by taking an arc I anticipated lasting 12 episodes and wrapping it up in 2. So... what next?

So this bitch kept quiet because she was already assaulted rather than about to be assaulted? What was the benefit? How did that help? My boy Mario was tryna save some pussy and this is what he got. And without his boys, the bitch wouldn’t have spoken up and she her reasoning for speaking up was because she was fucking envious???? These anime bitches I’m telling you.

I really liked this episode. It showed us more about Mario's backstory, the lengths they would go for their friends, and also a bit of tbe people of that time and place. Made me realise most anime with "friendship" themes don't have something like this. Also, how people who fought in the war felt about the new generations.

I was mad at the end of the last episode as I felt the anime was stagnating and we will again go through a long story of " Let's safe our friend" all over again, but I am glad how things were handled this episode. Surprisingly this is one of my favourite episodes of the series.

Those really are some damn good friends!
Sad what happened to that girl, and by a fucking teacher too. Glad he got the shit beat out of him by Mario but he honestly deserved death. Raping a young girl of her virginity is the worst kind of rape possible, what a fucking scumbag. I understand why she wouldn't want anyone to know the truth, as it could cause trouble for her family and she would have a hard time getting married since she is a girl who has been violated and is no longer a virgin. Very sad.

She didnt cry for them. She cried because she didnt have friends like mario's ones in her whole life and she was envious of them.

Man, must be nice to have ride or die friends. That prosecutor was such an asshole. He was bff with Baremoto’s dad and STILL called Baremoto scum and would barely listen. He’s terrible at his job for ripping up that paper. He shuts down the other side of the story and just makes his own up to fit his worldview.

@WMR

he looked like a villain but he wasn't. He is an example of how ww2 effects people. Thanks to these boys, he started think accurately and emphatize with people.

I was watching whole anime like the girl in the end :) You can find friendship anywhere but this type of brotherhood is so rare to find <3

@defaulticus I still see him as a villain because who know how many other people he’s just thrown away. Maybe he’ll change now, so that’s good for the future but can’t change the past.

Yup! It’s hard to find but they were bound by trauma and they are young so they don’t have adult commitments yet. We’ll see if they start growing apart as their lives change.
