Mari's singing in the end was so brutally well done. It's scenes like that that really push this show to the top of the season for me.

It's still so different, though, that I can't figure out how I feel about it.

Vengeance of everyone's grudge.

I'm totally on board for where this series takes me. Episode 9 was like a punch to the chest, and like any good Putty Patroller, I exploded. And then the Iron Man ending happened, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

I do think you guys are being a bit tough on Mari, though. She has never been portrayed to be doing this for anything other than the lulz, and so it falls a bit flat that she's getting called out for not being...the person she's never perceived herself as? Her insincere request was probably the result of hours of especially concentrated torture both physical and mental, while Moe was comparatively fresh as a daisy so I can't fault her for that--after all, Konno cracked in much the same manner, and what's more is, he actually sold Mari out, while Mari only thought about letting Moe get tortured in her place.

Moe went up a bit in my estimation, although she may need an intervention in the future. Grow a backbone stat, darling.

06:31 minute into the episode but damn Mari is kind of disgusting here, delivering those "cliche" and "cheesy" lines, and Moe, her voice acting was bad, and I dislike her "I'll do anything for Mari-san" attitude, however, I did feel bad when that King Torture tortures her.. P.S. no wonder I felt disgusted, because that was all fake, not earnest words.

I WTFLOL'ed when King Torture backed up after he was stabbed in the heart. I also lol'd when Goto said that this isn't a job for the cop to stop the rocket XD Anyway LOL at Goto in dat car XD

Holy shit this episode was so well done, especially the break down of Mari and that ED song, OMG I feel so bad for hating her at the start of the show, omg great voice acting on her part!! Great shit man!

Great episode!

It was about time Mari woke up from her little fantasy, Moe is a bit overdoing this Mari-worshipping-thing but at least, she's being honest!!! I got scared for a second there, I wondered what Torture would do next to her....But I loved his attitude towards Moe after that, absolutely brilliant!!! Enjoyed the scene was the bottom of my heart!!! Amazing!!!

Torture's character was really well made!! He and Flamenco are two sides of the same coin!!! It's just that they decided to follow different paths!!

Goto's way of handling the rocket was so epic!! XDD And his gf's text.....she always picks the best time!!! :D :D Gosh, I wanna see her already!!!! XDD

Now it's out!!! Seems like the next episode will be quite interesting after this revelation!!!!!

Wow! So in the end he was just a sentai villain and nothing else? And lol he even had the classic horrible evil face.
That feels disappointing.

The question is how did someone that was just a kid watching hero shows that decided to play the villain got his hands on all that tech? The guy had a rocket and strange cells that can create monsters and so on.
Those are crazy things. He even had some stone inside him that probably was responsible for giving him the ability to move after bein impaled or attach chainsaws.
How did a Japanese guy growing with superhero shows find such things?

I guess that could be the issue from now on.

That is true but i guess in a way she already knew.

Ooh, my little finger still doesn't feel safe. Poor Moe. :(

I am interested to see what happens to Mari at this point though. I mean, King Torture basically made her realise how self-centred she's been, but can she really change as a result of this? If I were in her position I don't think I could ever get over how insincere I was in urging my friend to escape, that that's the kind of person I truly am and could very well remain as for the rest of my life unless I change, by some miracle. Surely that's one of the worst forms of torture?

Granted, she probably will change at some point, but it's interesting to think about, for sure.

Pretty decent episode, though. King Torture is a good villain who offers some interesting food for thought and although I sympathise with Mari, good on Moe for being so dedicated to her. :)


Personally i don't see what was so horrible about what Mari did there.
So deep inside she was still wishing that Moe will sacrifice herself for her and that she said what she said only because that is the proper thing to say.
So what?
Anyone at that situation will have a small part of him wishing her/she can be spared.
And why does it matter if she said what she said because of trying to be heroic? In the end she knew that what she said could result in her death and she still took that risk even if it was just because that was what she had to say.
At least she had the guts to keep it going instead of being completely egoistical and throwing everything out of the window when her life was at danger.
What you think isn't important. What you do is and in the end her actions weren't that bad.

I've been thinking of dropping this for a few episodes due to the rapid spike in graphic violence (seriously -- it's a low blow when I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to be wearing the protective gear to brace oneself!) -- but the last half of this episode convinced me. Even more change is up ahead.

I'mma keep giving you tries, Samumenco.

Hold it for a moment, this episode was so intense!
I couldn't stand His torture against Moe, omg. This almost crossed a big line, if it hasn't already.
Anyway, it was so entertaining him kneeling before Moe and telling Mari to know her place. Yes, he's a villain, but he got a Point.
And wow, thought he cut Konnos arm, turned out to be His own to be replaced by a chainsaw. Kay.
And has he died in 3 seconds, Because of Goto-san and Masayoshi, I lost it for a moment. If they kept it Like this, I would have thrown a riot. Glad, it got more exciting at the end, although King Tortures backstory seemed really weak and not convincing...
And I'm sure Axe guy got over his assholeness and saved the doc, good thing!
Besides, the concert was a cool part, I Hope she learns a lesson, but I have the feeling, she'll quit with the Magical Girl thing. And Masayoshi reveals himself. What's going to Happen? I'll see it immediately!

What an episode! I feel like the show should end but we're only at the halfway point!

I feel like Mari might change for the better after this episode. It seems like her eyes finally opened.

So at 18:15, that's where that gif is from. It was funny when I found out.

And he reveals his tru identity. So what hapen from here? Onto the next episode!

That fight was actually really, really good. I mean the one before King Torture set off the rocket. This series has great potential, and they showed a little of that in the fight. Unfortunately, I still don't think the premise has been executed as well as it could've been. I really wish they didn't go the "suddenly GORILLAS AND GUILLOTINES" route.

That was actually really entertaining. Someone on the first page said that this is like Kill La Kill level over the top which makes digesting all of it easier. I thought King Torture was gonna be the main villain of this series but I guess it's gonna go a different route. That said, that robot surgery and whoever saved the stationary guy are now some things I'm gonna want addressed soon.

Also, Moe is one of the best characters in this show.

This show explains itself in the most obvious way possible and people are still confused. There is no shift, this is the same show. Once a hero is accepted by society a villain needs to show up. It's necessary, purposeful and makes total sense.
