THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Oh boy, the death game that pits once again does its characters with its style. I feel like this episode has more psychology than the previous episode though.

Rooster girl Niwatori gets a lot of screen time this week. For some reason, I kinda like that Dotsuku guy. He seems calculating and seems like an intelligent character. Not sure how I feel about the the monkey girl and rat guy yet though. The woman from the previous episode isn't in a good condition as before anymore. Too bad about the dog guy though...

ED theme song is kinda catchy.

That ending though with Niwatori being the one to turn against Dotsuku, that was good. I wonder what the mystery behind Nezumi is!? He's a kid so how would they have seen him before, maybe he's older than he looks or they saw someone related to him. It would be interesting to see how Boar fights now that she is undead.

Well it's 100% confirmed now....Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh RIP Boar, even though what you did to your sister was fucked up, I still fucked with you heavy

As for the episode, we got to see more of the others characters as well as a glimpse into how some of them think which was nice to see....Also, I was kinda surprised to see that other people were thinking of getting in alliances too

But man, Dog fucked up big time lol, the second I saw Chicken (My sign lol) find him, I knew that someway somehow she was going to end this man....You can't be cocky in this series dude, if you are you're screwed xDD

Good episode overall though, and I'm very curious to see what Chicken is gonna do with all this amped up power as well as to see what will come from the Ox (I'm impressed with him and Monkey most of all) and Horse confrontation

And I feel like Rat is gonna lowkey win this entire thing lol

I was expecting Niwatori to finish off Dotsuku, but was surprised she did it just by using her bare hand.
Still really curious about Nezumi, could he have some form of powers that toy with people's minds.
Next episode's title kinda gave away the next two victims.

lol Chicken killed Dog. I knew that was going to happen. He shouldn't have gave her that power up. I kinda liked him though. It's a shame he's dead. Maybe. I wonder what Chicken is going to do now.

Lol,it was so obvious that Niwatori would kill off Dog.

Episode was rather slow and focussing on tactics and build up.

Looking forward to see Niwatoris special move.

The opening is fucking good,
Again a good episode, I think the real game will begin from the next episode.
This really looks promising.
I think 3 more warriors will be killed in a "dissatisfied" way,
Snake, horse and chicken. The remaining ones will be the main fighters.
It seems like a good 9/10 SHOW IF there is no preaching like some other death game/battle Royal shows.
This is the show I was looking for.

Chicken was pretty suspicious the whole time. She wouldn't be in the game in the first place if she were as stupid as she pretended to be in front of Dog. Idk how he didn't catch on to that.

And I really hope Rabbit dies soon so I don't have to look at that awful design anymore.

Was obvious the one scheming would fall into his own trap.
But man this is extremely great. Monkey seems to be decent, and I hope Ox, according to the opening sequence (which is lit), will become the guiding beacon and join hands with Monkey. Nezumi is a wild card, it seems, no colour so far... the rest seemingly goes bad.

Rabbit will probably be in the last 4, along with ox, monkey and rat I guess.
I actually like the character design of all the warriors.

Yes, it is how it is supposed to be according to me. Whatsmore, they do not even have to die, they might as well crush the system of "Juuni Taisen" instead of fulfilling their cruel objective. Or outplay the vile oldman, but it certainly will not end in all or all but one dying.

It was obvious Dog was going to die. Like Boar, he was too overconfident and Chicken seemed too stupid for someone who was participating in a battle royale, it was obvious she wasn't going to be that dumb. She probably knew about his abilities and was waiting the moment he would dope her to finish him. Overall it's a pity, since Dog seemed like a badass.
Also, Ox is receiving a lot of hype, I'm before someone defeats him off-screen and later that character appears telling the viewers how awesome the fight was.

Lmao Dotsuku had it coming, he was looking down way too much at Niwatori. I was beginning to root for Niwatori but I think she will be down soon. I have a feeling it's going to be rabbit vs mouse at the end for some reason. Monkey seems OP as well but will probaby die third last or 4th. There's Ox as well. Others seem like fodder. I still have my hopes for Chicken but let's see. The episode titles seem faithful at hinting who dies so far, but I wonder if we really should trust them too much.

well that was a good episode, I liked how they were giving screen time and expanded the "world building" towards the characters in order to know how they think and how they act. Even if Dog's death was predictable, we all know eventually most of them are going to die... I believe that the gullible ones are going to die first and then we might have good battles in the end (hopefully)

Ox had been hyped to be a very strong warrior but if the combat power is determined by the rankings of the Chinese zodiac, then Rat might be the strongest among all.

Absolutely agree with you about the preaching part. If they try to get cheap sympathy or pull some moral lesson out of their ass with some long winded bullshit, it's going to kill the vibe of the show. I'm loving how ruthless these fighters are.

Surprisingly enough I did enjoy that backstory for Boar though, and backstories/flashbacks are usually where these shows fuck up big time. It felt like it was serving to show how powerful and badass she was rather than to get the viewer to sympathize with her. Killing her off right away was like a sick joke, but in a good way.

Narrator again offed in the same episode. If this is a trend, i'll be somewhat disappointed.

But holy shit, that was crazy how Chicken did that. I can't tell if she did that intentionally or not.

Horse is great, he seems too nice for this type of killing game and now Ox is on his shit!

Still betting on Rat to win the game after two episodes.

Well then brace yourself due to morality lessons incoming from the Monkey and Ox. It is, after all, hinted all over the place.

i really don't want chicken to die :( so i'm hoping that the preview is trollbait and we'll actually get a twist where ox calms her down or whatever and makes her his ally

Well i was hoping Boar wasn't actually killed and turned into a mindless zombie but i guess that would defeat the purpose of a show where everyone is trying to kill each other. No room for fakeout deaths here.

No action this time around but there was a lot of strategy and planning involved, particularly with Dog. He seemed really cool so it sucks to see him die so early. Chicken certainly caught him off guard, so i guess that's his own fault for arrogantly assuming everything would go according to plan. Hopefully the remaining deaths aren't as lame as Boar's and Dog's.

Yup. This show does it really well, mixing exposition with onscreen action very well. It also helps that the characters are not talking in monotone all the time.

very enjoyable watch.

The moment Dog started acting all cocky I knew he was going to die. Guess the rule of this show is whoever acts too confident dies. And the way Niwatori killed him off, acting all innocently had me laughing.

The horse seems like a nice guy and I don't want Ox to kill him.

So boar girl really did die. Next the dog. Seems like the moment u get a flashback of their past they die. If it happens like that again it really will be the tell-tale sign. But yo why did the dog really underestimate the Chicken like that? C'mon, be more on guard. That was just sad.

Tiger is gonna die quick too, going for liquor? Seriously? And the dragon, cuz he's too cocky. Same with grandpa sheep.

I think rat will stick around long. You'd think the monkey would too but then if they wanna go for shock factor she'll die quick too.

I knew that the rooster girl would kill the dog guy right when the dog guy underestimated her. That's how it generally works in this anime.

The monkey might seem weak but seems like she is very powerful and the Ox just seems like the most powerful one of them all. Not enough info about the rat tho

Lol, I don't know if it would be a scumbag or a genius thing for Nisio Isin to do that... again.

I'm expecting that the twist is that there is no twist - characters just continue to die in a blatantly telegraphed order and the only thing we are supposed to do is enjoy how everyone who thinks they are tough shit gets unceremoniously slaughtered.
