Such an exciting episode , can't wait for the match between Oda & Sakamoto. Yet, I wonder how both of them ran through a fire with their clothes to still intake afterwards =3=

hmm, pretty dumb episode.. Ryouta surviving that explosion in the end and that Himiko first believing that unknown guy.. and many other nonlogical things. I guess previous ones were a lot better so this is just drop back to standard of this anime.
Let's hope the next ep would be one of those better ones.

That doctor is the guy that woman was talking about last episode. He can't be trusted.

And how the hell did Ryouta survive that trap?

It's not plot armor it is better explained in the manga than it is in the anime. I don't want to spoil it so if you are interested go look it up yourself. It was poorly illustrated to say the least. I think they might elaborate on his "miraculous" survival the next episode.

Great episode, although the ending wasn't too great for me. How could he survive 3 remote-controlled traps when he fell straight into the middle of it without any injuries. I at least thought he would say how he countered it when he started with, "However,...", but he just said he won't lose.. Other than that it was a great episode, lots of action. I wonder how and when they will find out that guy cannot be trusted and is in fact an enemy.
Looking forward to the next episode, really great series.
5/5.

Even though the cool guy with the glasses is hostile, I still think he's badass and he should join Sakamoto's team imo. Himiko already knows what the Doctor is up, I hope she'll tell Sakamoto soon.

I think he used some trick to avoid the bombs, I don't believe that this show is lame enough for some magic armor that only the important characters have.

@All people saying how the fuck he survived. He knew it was a trick, lol. Sakamoto made him think he was moving towards the case, we saw this in Oda point of view, but in reality sakamoto wasn't there. >Regard this image


Also looks like we'll see Sakamoto past in Highschool with

Am I the only one who thinks its obvious how Sakamoto survived? He stood directly on top of the the chips, bims because he knew that guy wouldn't want to destroy them and the blast radius of remote control bombs is probably low or something. (They didn't say that about the remote controlled ones. I'm just guessing.)

Maybe the explanation is something else but I'm pretty sure it's not just plot armor.

That girl is a bitch and Himiko is falling for her trash talking. Either way, Himiko's wariness around men might be an advantage in dealing with Date.

Nice one, Sakamoto!

This anime is way underrated , honestly .

Anyways , food wars at its best this episode .Seems like everyone is really hungry there after 3 days .So there's still a lot of persons left in that battle royale .

Seems like that girl with Oda knows some grappling skills ? And wow , how the hell did Himiko escaped that lock .

And when I saw that case just lying somewhere , I immediately thought "This guy is a dead man ."

Anyways , Oda already planted some of those remote controlled BIMs that fast ? Or did he just detonated those BIMs still in those bags ? And those ppl annoyed how Sakamoto survived that blast , well I dont blame you , even Oda got fooled by him . lol .

And the moment I saw Oda and Sakamoto running then jumping off that cliff to get the case , I immediately noticed that they gotta have something in common .They really seem closely alike .Looking forward to those last 3 eps .

AND THIS
MADE MY DAY . xD

Lol that grappling lady was over the top. When she got her in a rear naked choke and locked her legs in front of hers, I bust out laughing. xD So pro it was funny as hell. xD I liked how Himoko, knew that doctor was dangerous. And her will to live was romantic. =3333

I really loved how that other guy set off the trap with his teeth. Freakin awesome. I wonder how Sakamoto got away from that though....

Can't wait for the next episode! Hopefully they'll show how he avoided it. =o

When I was a bit (lot) younger there used to be a guy who traveled around various carnivals and race meets with a gimmick called the "dynamite chair". What he would do is place a stick of dynamite under the chair, sit in the chair, and then detonate the dynamite. The chair would usually be destroyed, but he would walk away from the explosion. The trick was in the profile for the distribution of forces in the explosion of the dynamite (directed more downwards than upwards), and a reinforced panel in the bottom of the chair. Read memoirs of the first world war and you'll find examples of soldiers who survived artillery explosions with only minor damage (temporary deafness), while their comrades on either side were killed. I, myself, once had the misfortune to kick a chunk of homemade contact explosive and only manage to blow a hole in my boot (plus that temporary deafness thing). You can, surprisingly enough, survive an explosion--what you can't do (despite what many Hollywood movies show) is outrun one...
Please don't feed the trolls!

Oda looks badass :P

And Ryouta and Himiko are getting closer and closer, thrusting each other even more.
Himiko is kinda annoying, But I guess she's getting better, Oh well.

Next Episode, Here I come.

Oh come on I know it's just an anime and there were some weird scenes with bombs not affecting people but this episode... So many scenes where a person should die but they magically didn't. ESPECIALLY IN THE END. There better be a good explanation or I'm calling hacks on the main character.

I enjoyed the cat fight between Hikomori and that bitch.

How come, that in the end of this ep, Ryouta had been found on a radar? He didn't move... That's the only inaccuracy I have found in the anime, but serious one. Ryouta could have somehow beat Oda if he didn't spot him :)

^ It happened a few times already.

We clearly saw the explosion behind the other woman when she turned around after dumping the bomb onto Himiko, but Himiko escaped unscathed?

I hope there is a reason as to why Sakamoto is unharmed, and not just because "If it's Btooom then I won't lose".

I know I probably shouldn't complain about plot armor, especially when the show is full of them all the time, but.. other people would have died in the same situation, so I kinda call that bullshit.

My random thoughts on this ep:
1. Why does the main character have to be so trusting?? He's so stupid! -.-
^_^
1. Because he really doesn't want to kill anyone, he helped out his friend and Ryouta asking people to become allies has already worked a few times so why not with him.
And he also told him he already has 3 chips, right after he just met him. Genius. He could have kept that a secret for a little longer. Or.. or just maybe.. he's using that as a trap to see if the doctor is actually trying to team up with them, if that's the case then it's alright. If not, he's just stupid, and sometimes smart when the plot calls for it.

5. "That hurt! What the hell were you thinking?!" Hmm, let's see..you're coming at me with a metal rod, about to strike me..what am I thinking? Go die, bitch! xP
Agree.

Decent episode with enough action action. I thought Himiko would recognize the name, though.

And yeah, the kid's back, can't wait to see him in action again.

The action was nuts. The fight between Sakamoto and Oda was "hot" :D
But damn Oda is strong even without the bombs. Kira is also active again.

Himeko vs. Kino was alright, but man this doctor. He fucked me up so much, he wanted to kill Himeko and then faked as he wanted to help her, I hope he will die soon >.>

Sakamoto had a good feeling for the trap of Oda. Odas face impression was priceless when he saw Sakamoto was alive. I'm excited for the next episode.

Exactly. You could write of it saying that Ryouta only kills if he has to but it would still be BS considering that the guy is clearly too dangerous to be let lose.
