StabbyPWNS said: And was Danglers raping his money or something? Sick. >_< Haha, indeed. This episode was full of some tragicomic scenes. Funny how fast people can lose their minds. Once again, a brilliant episode! Too bad Mercedes is dead, though. AironicallyHuman said: The scene where Fernand confessed to Mercedes was superb. His anger at the suggestion he and Edmond were truly friends, followed by him telling her how her naivety created the love triangle situation, was complemented nicely by her look of despair as - for the first time - she realized the truth. And I was impressed by the way she remained faithful to her husband, in spite of her feelings - offering him the chance to leave with her. Yeah, that was powerful and seemed kind of realistic, even. |
 |
| ... Wow. How many episodes in this show are going to leave me speechless? How can a sci-fi with millennium-old curses and aliens be pulled off with such realism? This is a more believable drama than 90% of high school anime. The Count confessing his story to Albert while Paris was collapsing in the background was a magnificent and artful touch. I almost wish Fernand would've shot himself after all. That would've been a very powerful end to his character, especially after murdering his wife and attempting to murder his son, his cherished family for whom he committed his sins. |

| But then he was naked rolling around in the gold, gross lol. Plus cold I'd think. The Count finally told Albert his story, awww. More mecha. I can't believe the ending though. I can't believe he'd shoot Albert and his wife! D: I hope they don't die!!!! That'd be sad ;_______________________; |
 |
| Another great episode. Finally learned just about everything. |
 |
| Decent episode - it's gonna be a tragedy towards the end I'm sure of it now. The conclusion is close. Literally shit's going down atm. |
 |
| this episode was wild lol. there's was so much happening i couldn't even process it tbh. i enjoyed the cgi in episode 18 but i felt this episode was a bit gratuitous, mainly with the explosions, smoke, and water effects. |
im apollo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they/them pls  |
| The CGI is sure a turn off, studio GONZO never likes to stay doing good job lol. This episode was also great, the tension is high though some forced drama is always there. |
| These three men are beyond selfish and it's so good to see them all suffer |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Albert's father is really the worst person His father just shot wife & son I'm pretty sure Albert is alive by miracle, probably something metal protect him? Maybe the hand-clock thingy from Count? (He smashed it to bits though) This is getting interesting Off to last 2 episodes |
"Signature removed"   |
| Am I the only one who thinks the Count is Albert's father? I mean he looks like Edmond before he was imprisoned, and that definitely would make a great plot twist. Mercedes could have been pregnant when the Count was framed and then while being with Fernand. |
| That bastard killed Mercedes. |
 |
| Honestly thought that Mercedes would shoot Albert's father. I guess it kind of makes sense why Mercedes was never really greedy, lustful, or filled with hate like the other wives. She had a humble background and never really wanted those things even though she knew what happened... |
 |
| Mondego, with his sought out position of high military and political power and the love of Mercedes, ends up using his military and political power to destroy the city and eventually shoot not just Mercedes, but Albert, the child bore from their supposed love. There is so much full circling going on, it's amazing. Now, Mondego is trying to challenge The Count in armor, just like Albert, claiming he would take away everything The Count has. However, Mondego already took away everything Dantes had, so the threat was really hilarious since at the current moment, only Mondego had things to lose, which he already had anyways. The setup is almost poetic. |
| This episode was just sheer madness and I loved it. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Fernand went batshit crazy and singlehandedly conquered all of Paris by forcing the whole parliament to give up their positions at gunpoint while bombing the place after putting it under martial law. Being told about how he was such good friends with Edmond made him furious because he knows quite well how much of an asshole he was all this time after he conducted a conspiracy to cover up another conspiracy. The beginning of his downfall started way before his false valor. Hell, he's so crazy that he killed his own wife and severely injured his son. It was a nice touch that the previous characters in their current states were shown roaming around doing what they do. Albert's trying to convince the Count to open up to him and he revealed the very cruel and sad truth about his suffering in the Chateau and how he had become the next Gankutsuou. Mondego became a full-on villain in just one episode. |
 |
| What happened just now was madness in a nutshell, but it wasn't for nothing it fit the scenario and was just epic. Fernnad I didn't know he was such a scum. |
| Impactful episode. I hate how Mercédès had to be in the crossfire of the revenge. She had nothing to do with the big three's framing plot (she was a victim). Yet, she suffered the most, from her son despising her, to her husband going insane (whom she didn't even want to marry in the first place), to her losing her reputation, and especially how her ex-lover Edmond Dantès (The Count of Monte Cristo) came back and rejected her. And at the very end, she got shot (I'm she didn't make it). |

| I admire Mercedes for staying faithful to the one she's married. We have now approached the final stages of the revenge. |
 |
| Much as I hate to admit it, Gankutsuou is right. For these shitty people who have committed crimes bad enough to throw innocent men in prison, revenge is the only option. Albert still is pretty naive noob and his ways aren't gonna help anyone. Gets shot by his dipshit asshole dad for all the trouble. Dude had an out with Mercedes who tried to stop this but no, shot her in the back like a fucking coward. His free trial of life has expired. Can't wait for Gankutsuou to beat this bitch down.  |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Another brilliant episode. However, I would have really preferred it if they did not resort to using that cheap action soundtrack in the ending. It would have been legendary if it was classical orchestra. Edmond's backstory isn't as simple as I presumed it to be, thank god. Well, 2 more eps to go, and time to study. |

| Something I didn't expect at all. He shot his wife and Albert! Wow. This episode was tense to build up all the suspense for the Count's final and biggest revenge.... prepare yourself, Fernand Mondego! Btw young Edmond Dantes seems like a sweet guy... naive, innocent, trustful... reminds me of Albert ;") their faces are somehow similar too. |
