| Baremoto going to the prosecutor's office was the highlight of the episode for me. My head was telling me that he's just giving a cheesy shonen anime speech about Sakuragi and whatnot, but there was enough emotion in that scene to pull on my heart strings. I was expecting that arc to last a little longer, but oh well. I hope the next episode is the last time the series does a "where are they now" kind of episode. |
 |
| I didn't watched this episode earlier because I was expecting Mario to undergo another round of Prison Treatment, where I would just get pissed with officials for their bullying.. But man, I shed some tears again, the passion his friends show is just so overwhelming.. this episode is my best so far for Rainbow.. should have watched it sooner.. >.< |
 |
| Guess I was kind of right with what I said in the episode 15 thread :) |
| it became obvious that the guy had some connection to undercover's father, there were a lot of signs |

| Cheesiest episode I have ever seen. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
alwaysbored said: Ok . maybe I'm just ignorat but WTF ? The girl was abused by her teacher and when someone comes and beats the hell out of the teacher to protect her she wants to keep quiet about everything and let the guy go to a reformatory for trying to help her AND the teacher free to do whaterver he wants ? Is she supposed to be the most retarded character ever or what ? Personally I think she's retarded as well. :/ I mean sure she's scared, but come the fuck on. She's gonna let Mario go to jail just because she's too scared to give a written statement? 'Delicate' girls like her piss me the fuck off. Like okay. You're useless. You don't want to get help or let anyone help the situation? Fine. Go wallow in your own despair. Oh well. At least she told in the end :/ Still a stupid bitch though. Mario's also a bit of an idiot for lying and saying he had no reason to hit that guy. Well, I suppose with how that chief was, he probably wouldn't believe him even if he told the truth 'cause that old guy's a lunatic. Fuck I want him to die. He's such an asshole >:( I wanted Scam to beat the living shit out of him. *sighs* On a better note, at least everything worked out in the end and people weren't COMPLETE douchebags about everything. |

| Mario could att least axplain what has happend in the bar and why he has escaped, leaving the girl's situation aside. Thogh overal it was ok. Good episode, but I think it is going to lose in action (do not know for sure because I have not read the manga). Next 2 episodes would decide if I am going to continue watching it. BTW does any one know who is the narrator (women's voice) in the show is. Like her voice. Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. |

| Omg, so cheesy. I liked this show at the start, but it's just getting worse and worse. Edit: The narrator is Hayashibara Megumi. |
 |
| Yeah, I think the show must have had 12-13 episodes. I've just watched 17th - not impressed. Don't know if I am going to give one more try for 18th. viral_hun said: Omg, so cheesy.

I knew that I've heard her before. Ranma 1/2, Cowboy Bebop (and The Law of Ueki, Shaman King, Slayers). And song performance in anime including Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai. |
|
| WUT. You can't recognize Ayanami?!? |
 |
| still great episode n touching lil bit.. yeah, maybe the plot getting worse, but i still like it.. |
| Yay!! Cabbage did it!!! Mario, don't you dare fuck up again! |
 |
| Just wow, this episode was amazing. All the actions by the group, the conversasion with the prosecuter and revelations afterwards, the ending of the episode and the good feelings it leaves you with... this was just so good. Cabbage, Baremoto and Soldier were freaking win. Loved the development. |
 |
| Basically they got lucky that the prosecutor new his father or else he wouldn't even listen to him. Let's be real, those guys like convicting people and they are not that nice. |
| Friendships like this don't exist nowadays..I'm envious of them..Luckily, the story had a nice end.Next episode "parting"..I guess it's going to be melancholic.. |
 |
| Wish I had such great friends :P |
| Another epic episode. |
 |
| good episode its good they let other characters time to shine |
 |
| I really enjoyed that episode actually. =o jefba said: Wish I had such great friends :P I have good friends, but THESE friends are like on another level. LOL |
 |
| Amazing episode |
 |
| Love it .... love it ..... love it This anime is most certainly not a stereotype. each episode keeps you interested. |
| I'm glad everything went much better than I had expected. Mario staying quiet about why he punched that teacher was so...considerate of the girl. Although I said that he wasn't as mature as Sakuragi, maybe I should've said that he's less clearheaded as Sakuragi. I can't believe he didn't defend himself when the prosecutor called him scum, and asked if he was like one of those people who punches others for no reason. Baremoto has changed the most since the beginning. At first he didn't trust anyone, and now he's so different. His conversation with the prosecutor was heartbreaking, and I cried because it's true that him and other kids didn't become this way because they wanted to, some of them were just trying to survive. I cried even harder though when the girl who was raped gave her reason to the prosecutor as to why she decided to speak up. I'm envious too of the friends Mario has. Lastly, I can't believe there are some people here who are blaming the girl for not speaking up.News flash, not everyone is as strong as you. And like others mentioned, it happens all the time in real life where rape victims do not report to the police about what happened. I would expect back in the days, it was even worse for a girl because of social stigma and whatnot. |
| Solider is the man! Cabbage came through :D Cliche how Undercovered was his friend's son, but still great. |
| So the asshole prosecutor isn't such an ass after all. |
 |
| Personally i think the reason some people arent into this ia because they lack the ability to sink into the emotions and compare these guys lives to there own. It makes it even more intense that way. All there doing is looking at the outside point of view instead of the inside. Oh all these action lovers :L |
 As of now, please try to refrain from looking at MAL. its a complete mess right now T-T People of anime have whooped, roasted, beaten, and tamed my ass. I have learned my ways and will never speak that horrible word. But, believe me, MY DAY OF VENGEANCE SHALL COME(please dont take this seriously, just "trying" to be funny lol |
| I liked this episode a lot/ |
| One of the best episodes so far! ;__; |
 |
| Epic friends for the fucking win :D !!!!!!! |
 |
| Oh wow that sure was impressive! Really job well done! I do hope they won't fuck things up next! |
 |
| 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? |
| Glad things are resolved, beautiful episode. |
| My Anime List | |
| 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. |
| The most over-dramatic thing I have ever seen in my life. That girl cried for them, I mean seriously, come on. |
| I like the episode, finally both move on ^^ |
| 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 |
| They saved him. These guys should appear next to the word "friend" in every dictionary. |
 |
| Wow Baremoto's father knew the big dog, like that girl said I also envy Mario. |
| I'm surprised that it was that "easy" I expected him to end in the slammer a lot longer. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| 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. |
| well that was a good rap up of the mario story... Now mario go after setsuko |
 |
| 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? |

| This series contrived af, also kinda corny, but it shows how beautiful friendship is. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Damn his friends are good as fuck for him. This is some major bro's support bro's feels. Wholesome as fuck. |
 |
| 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. |
