Damn, this anime is not messing around about violence. Not just the hostage situation but also the psychological drama this episode was pretty clear...

The pure amount of raw emotions too....just crazy how far this escalated. Still, I find this episode rather realistic with the way those guys initated their violence. Can happen easily in their world and it's awful that Tetsuo is involved now too. My only slight complaint this episode is the overall lighting, some scenes being a little bit dark.

Regarding the stalker, isn't this harassment too cruel? Why was Tetsuo scared when they were about to corner him on top of the building? Didn't Tetsuo know that they wouldn't actually throw him off the building? I thought the threat was just empty words. Tetsuo was really thinking about what answer he should give. Well, it's true that the building was just a hallucination of Tetsuo. They were still in the warehouse.

The interrogation they did with Kasen-san also seemed strange, why did they use wrapping plastic? Was Kasen-san using a new trick? Kasen-san acted like he didn't know anything. It's just that I felt strange when they used wrapping plastic.

At the most serious moment, suddenly AV = Animal Video LOL

Anyway, I guess some member(s) in yakuza gang are actually undercover cop, or spy from the rival gang.

Hmm looks like the OCG is just as cunning as Tetsuo is. But the insight into what led to the raid though was a nice angle to cover. The interrogation though was really well done being full to the brim with tension. The wife's plan of exploiting their time limit really was well played. Gotta hand it to the team of Tetsuo and his wife though in really messing these guys plan royally. Though the stakes sure are getting ever higher and the threat ever more real.

These guys aren't playing around when it comes to the torture, but Tosu and his wife managed to talk their way out of it. 

Now to further save his ass, Tosu is going to work with these guys. This is just getting more and more messy for him.

Pleased with the general developments, but I do wish it could be a little more subtle. You don't have to say no matter who gets sacrificed out loud. We get it, and even if we don't then it's more interesting discovering it as the measures become more insane.

Quite interesting. Feels like some Korean show vibes. The kicks and punches feels powerful yet not over the top. While the storyline is actually quite interesting and worth a follow. Animation wise ain't the best but not the worst I've seen. 8/10 ep can't wait to see the next ep

Good episode. I thought they would adapt more story though.

It’s hilarious how yakuza is doing their job almost like CIA or some spies. Not very believable if you ask me. Also too overdramatic and over exaggerated for the most part. But not gonna lie, it is fun.

I liked this episode more than the others for sure. Tetsuo really is quick with his thinking, most people would stumble, fumble and crumble under the stress him and his wife are facing. His wife deserves praise as well. She's performs just as good on the fly, if not better.

This episode is picking up the slack from the previous episodes, if only the overall quality was a little better..anyways good episode regardless

Wife was on a 500 iq mode when she started buying time lmao. Though those goons calmly listening to her stories was more hilarious.

Tetsuo and his wife might have avoided the worst possible outcome, that was death but they'll still continue living on edge, and Tetsuo specifically, now that he's joining the forces with one of the main bad guys.

Though that daughter, she's beyond stupid to not even realize her mother went through a third degree treatment right under her nose lol.

This show has me on the edge of my seat every week! 

This epsiode felt like it was 5 minutes shot. Tetsuo and Kasen survived the interrogation, but he now has to work with Kyoichi... Might be an opportunity though. In a best-case scenario, he can blame the murder on the other yakuza. Since Kasen already figured out their teamwork and trust is lackluster, she could certainly come up with a plan.

This Nobuto guy must be really fucking important for the yakuza guys to risk so much over.

The way the wife started feeding the goons BS was hilarious. But I wonder if this sort of strategy would work in real life. Like Tetsuo said many times, there are no right answers for situations like these. It all comes down to luck.

After the ending of this episode, I think I'm now fully hooked on this show. Really can't wait to see what goes down next.

Kasen knew there was no right answer, the only possible one was "I don't know", but in order for them to be satisfied with that answer she fed some bullshit and made it believable she's just an ordinary housewife. Brilliant. And Tetsuo proposing to work together, quick-thinking. I thought he might be in for another kill, but it would have created even more mess. This way is more interesting.

This story is by no means a masterpiece but I think so far it's a very underrated show compared to what else it has against it this season. Hell's Paradise and "Oshi no Ko" are two of the main hitters this season but I would recommend everyone to give this a try as well so far. It's an interesting story with decently well written characters. Excited to see how this progresses.

I remember this moment quite well when I read the manga. It was probably one of the best in the early chapters which is the start of Kyoichi's and Tetsuo's teamwork. Soundtrack is pretty good which makes some moments better, but overall it's decent.

Here's wondering if Majima is going to be a major character who is going to appear again and again. My favorite character so far throughout this whole thing and the one I am most interested in seeing. That cliffhanger certainly makes me feel like he will be playing a big or an important role going forward

He's my favorite character. He's level-headed and more intelligent than the rest of the goons but also cold and brutal.

And his actions so far is what driving the plot as he's the most active in hunting down what is going on and being so proactive which is always interesting

It probably would have been best if it was adapted as kdrama. Koreans are always making nowadays some best thrillers, crime genre related kdrama so they are expert at it. And most of their drama is over 1 hour so it gives them the chance to adapt in more volume. Anime will probably adapt just 1 arc and will cut many details also which actually makes a thriller, crime genre medium less interesting

Smart couple doing the best they can for their daughter who likes AV (animal video).

I can forgive how the show looks, it's really not demanding too much for the story. Unlike some action shows out there, only to be picked up by some studio with their laggy CGI.

Also, this season has some of the best literal waifus, Kasen and that cat story on the spot was great. She deserves her soap opera, made up or not.

Eh, I don't like it either, aside the bad production, which I don't really care all that much anymore, this isn't really working for me, I feel nothing. Also, as someone said earlier, this could probably work better in live action, but I still think it's a cheap suspense, the tension isn't really doing anything. At least this episode was a bit more interesting tho.

3 days since Nobuto's murder, and Tetsuo thinks that he can be out of danger. But with the yakuza on the trail to secure Nobuto instead, Kyoichi has no choice but to act on his own accord to restrain the husband and wife altogether.

With Kyoichi interrogating Tetsuo as hard as he can, the latter would almost hit his breaking point, and same too to the former because Matori is on the verge of losing his job if Nobuto isn't found quickly. Tetsuo literally standing on a metal bar to the death akin on a pirate ship, and Kyoichi will not stand for BS while he ascertains his every move. But at any moment, death could ring at his very shoes, and regardless of the right answer, Kyoichi and his crew are just hitmen doing their job. Nonetheless, while Reika is watching an AV (animal video), Tetsuo also prepared for something like this, and correlating with his wife Kasen to hold them for as long as possible, which the ploy worked.

Kyoichi deciding to show himself towards the real culprit, where the only way out for Kyoichi...is to create a mystery story together, no matter the sacrifice.

A battle of wits, survival and sacrifice, this game starts now.

The series has an interesting tension and is one of my favorites, however, some ends were loose in this episode. It wasn't perfect. For example, the knife cut on the main character's head. It looked serious, but it ended up disappearing. Another thing was that the mobster released the guy before threatening him. Wouldn't it have been better to have tried to kill him still tied up? It would be better and more logical from an assassin's point of view. Furthermore, I found it interesting how well the couple managed to interpret the reactions of the marginals. It's a couple with very sociopathic traits, if we take into account the coldness with which they manage to deal with these situations.
