| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that escalated between the two sides. In their society, it seems turf wars and ideals frequently clash. It's too bad that not everything can be always settlted in peaceful means. Now, we only got one more episodes left for this series. |
 |
| This is arguably the best episode of this series so far. Things just kept on escalating and escalating, especially at the start. Best of luck to Makoto who's handling this situation and finding out who the mastermind behind the set-up is, all the while being in danger from the Red Angels, G-Boys, and the police (isogai kinda sus ngl). Even though some episodes weren't all that amazing (some were definite stand-outs though), it's nice to see that this series will end on a good two-episode arc. |
 |
| Omg I didn't expect it become that tense and violent like that, many murders in the city between the two gangs, they even tried to kill him with a car and hit Makoto's mother... well I hope that Makoto will be fine for this series final and that he will succeed in stopping that gang wars |
 |
| So predictable damn it, these kids are so dumb. The G boys and Red angels mobs I mean. Also the final arc took the most predictable and cringe direction it could, unless the finale has some surpise for us I'll be very dissapointed. |
 |
| Best episode of the series by far, and has made me quite hype for next week's conclusion. So much happened within one episode, and it's brilliant. |
| damn... battle between the gangs, so close to finding out whos been setting them up. stay safe makoto. |
 |
| The final 2 episodes with the gang turf scuffles between the G-Boys and the Red Angels, it's gonna be a wild ride. Even with the Ikebukuro Troubleshooter-cum-meditator Makoto roaming around, it's only between leaders Kyouichi and King that'll supplment their border conflict zones...but with bloodshed and lives being lost by the minute, not even Makoto is safe from this travesty, much less the police interrrupting their fated conflict. DO NOT TRUST ANYONE. I'd already suspect the Kansai corporation is behind this mastermind of a setup, and the internal strifes between both gangs even affect their own families...there is no stopping this payback. Even turning into the police for "protection" is no consolation for Makoto, because every way is NO WAY OUT even at the slimest chance. The last spurt to save them all...what is Makoto's decision to bring this uproar conflict to a close? |
 |
| I enjoyed this episode, even though everyhing that happened was predictable. |
 |
| I wouldn't say it's the best but damn it is solid as its own. If the show would've taken the route early on, it'll be a more interesting and action-packed show (like Fugou Keiji did). Unfortunately, it's only two episodes left and this one escalated fast. Looks like Tomomi and someone are the traitors and sets up Makoto for killing the King Takashi. Bcos of this, they have an excuse for putting the G-Boys & Red Angels on the long-awaited Ikebukuro gang war. Who knows how they'll end this, things will be crazy (or not) next week. |
 |
| Scooby-doo characters chasing around like a headless chicken. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| I swear every character other than Makoto and maybe Takashi have the IQ of a banana. It’s just too easy to provoke them. I’m especially disappointed in Kyouichi. How can he be so dumb? And what was that sudden yaoi moment lol |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Pretty good episode. Finally the gang war is here! Poor Makoto was framed as the killer, big f moment there |
 |
| I had to wait 10 weeks for it, but finally it is here what I was looking for. Best episode by far! So not just King that gets shot, also Makoto's mum gets injured by a car D: Unforgiveable! Whoever is setting Makoto up is going to pay big time when he finds out. I honestly didn't expect it to be THAT guy though. |
 |
| Well I was expecting the G-Boys and the Red Angels to go against each other however I did not know how it would go about. Well, Makoto has been set and framed for killing Takashi and now is on the run from the G-Boys and probably the Red Angels. The final episode next week, so excited to see how this event will end! Good episode :) |
 |
| Thats some nasty set-up. I believe, its involved the Kansai company that already mentioned at episode 9, then the first episode too. Was the man his brother, or any close relation to that red dark hair guy, its still unknown. But one thing sure, its a nasty set up that involved the troubleshooter, Makoto. How ironic, a troubleshooter got troubled because of the trouble that he wanted to solve. However, thats the plot. The gangs conflict always became the theme for this kind of show. So, its really understandable, if something like that shit was happening. Gladly, Makoto's mother and the king were still alive to told the truth. However, was that even possible? Makoto still had an ace card called the shadow. Prolly he might be getting help from him again. But, the first thing to do for Makoto is seeking the evidence for the real mastermind. It must be a long road to him. However, that poor kid seemed be good enough to be a start. So, lets see everything get handled in one episode .... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| Have we finally gotten what was promised to us in the synopsis? Lol it only took until the second to last episode, but it's better than nothing I guess. So Makoto has been set up and of course not a single person wants to act with even a shred of rationality and try to hear him out. I know emotions are high but still. Also, that scene with Isogai laughing in the shower....was he fuggin that dude who was smoking on the bed? Lol, anyway Isogai is clearly sus and definitely played some part in orchestrating what's going on right now. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Isogai must be working for Donglong or something, it's nothing special but, for this show this was definitely the best episode so far. Honestly didn't expect Isogai to be working for someone else. G-boys always getting used by these third party organizations lmao. Man, the people who hurt Makomom and Guo needs to d i e. Honestly kinda looking forward to the finale. |
 |
| wow finally the long awaited gang war that I thought was gonna be the focus based on the OP Interesting turn of events how Makoto is being framed as the bad guy for causing this. Nothing really too spectacular about the mom and King being hospitalized, it's painfully obvious they'll come out perfectly fine in the end. Biggest question is how exactly is the lord and saviour Makoto gonna end up fixing everything once again? |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Takashi was shot! G-Boys vs Red Angels, Ikebukuro is in chaos! Didn't expect that bitch Isogai is one of the people behind this huge misunderstanding. He's surely the one who stabbed his fellow Red Angel member and drugged Mitsuki and shot Takashi. Even Makoto's mom was injured. Good thing Gou is there. Argh! Episode 11, where's the romance tho? Is it between Makoto and Takashi? lol  |
| I love how the show is progressing and throws in those twists about certain characters . I want to punch Isogai in his face. |

| Damn, they didn't even try to make it subtle regarding Isogai. Not with all those creepy smiles and evil laughs. Though hella predictable, finally some proper gang wars like the ones the synopsis was establishing. Well... kinda. People in both G-Boys and Red Angels are so dumb, honestly. Like if they all share the same brain cell or something. |

| Finally in the last two episodes we get to see the all out gang war with blood on the streets that was promised in the synopsis. And finally Gou showed up as a part of Makoto's family without just existing to convey an immigration PSA. Unfortunately the person who died was never established to be particularly close to Makoto so his death was pretty lackluster in terms of impact. The set up of his betrayer being a friend is an interesting story though, even though it's extremely ham fisted. |
| Looks like everything all going down for Makoto huh... Isogai you friggin' traitor...i wanna know what happens to you once you're busted! 5/5. |
 |
| It was a great episode, in my opinion, even if it was predictable, it was done in a good way. |
| What in the world...I didn't think Kyouichi was that dumb, but damn. I understand being the leader of a group and feeling responsible for your member's death, but they all thought that G-Boys would provoke them so openly like that with a crime? It should be obvious that someone was trying to stir things up, especially how the murder happened right before the territory talk was supposed to happen. Please use your brains. Both sides, too. They probably just want to fight in the end, lol. Have some excitement in their lives I guess... I wonder how Makoto will solve this. No one's going to listen to him, so I'm guessing he's going to find Mitsuki first. I like the other episodes better, lol. Sure it's finally time for some gang war, but it's dumb if it goes down like this. Funnily, I'm pretty sure this happens in real life anyways. People don't think and act purely on emotions. Still, I expected better of Kyouichi. |
| Makoto gets set up by Isogai from the looks of it. Why though? That might be revealed in the next episode. |
 |
| Seems like I overestimated Kyouichi, I understand him being angry but I really thought he and most others would find it suspicious instead of immediately going into war. Situation looks pretty grimm for Makoto, with his good friend Takashi almost shot dead, his mother almost overrun and the gangs and police after him. |
