| Liked this episode as a followup to what happened at the end of the last one. It seemed appropriate for Yatori to reflect and meditate about her past and what Ikta means to her personally, specially after what she was forced into doing just before this. Ikta as a kid was already so chill and laid back, it was funny to see how he takes everything his dad and compatriots do so easily in their stride, though I'm surprised at how well his dad's soldiers take to those "missions" that he makes Itka do. Falling into a hole is no fun, specially when it's proof that you got outsmarted by a kid. Looking forward to seeing more of this show. |

| That scene showing the calm, reserved child Yatori going into the kitchen and whipping all that food out the window was hilarious, and the final bank shot was icing on the cake! |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| I love how they complement each other. |
| A city's greatness is determined by the speed of its internet connection. |
| This was a pretty good episode for several reasons. Firstly it showed the backstory between solok and Yatori and how they met and what their childhood was like. I felt that this was good as it helped establish their relationship and their personalities. Secondly The fact that it showed the Mc's family who so far have only been mentioned briefly. It was nice to see that the MC actually had a loving and caring family and from there see how much it changed him when that vanished. I have to say that Yatori had some amazing sword skills even when she was little but since she came from a military family i suppose that was only natural. The relationship between Yatori and Solak is one of the most interesting things in this anime Overall a good episode Solak is such a trickster when he was little Love how the two complement each other in this episode |

 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
| background story telling... Interesting episode altogether |

xEzioAuditore said: Didn't watch the episode but glad to see the anime page being third most-viewed this summer ! How to see that? or only mod can? |
 |
| It is so great that there is no unnecessary blush and the focus is not blatantly on romance either. That science and theology explanation feels very nice 10/10 episode. |
 |
| Really like this episode, Some background about with ikta and Yatori from youth :3 how an adorable ikta xD Already some epic cooperation with em this young, really interesting to see. Really excited what episode 6 have to offer! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| I love this show!! So far my AOTS but I couldn't tell why specificaly, I just love the atmosphere, the characters, the story telling, the exotic feeling, and of course those two! So I loved this ep and the way the show is going I'd really like to read the novel actually. Can't wait for next week, it's the only show this season that makes me say that and that I really wait for *.* *still hoping it will be 2-cour* |
| Flashback was irrelevant to cover the whole ep since it could be substituted with a dialogue only, like in 1st ep. As we are told, they really have a long association since childhood, so they cover each others flaws and strengthen each other, Also, the wolf face as if he was saying, "I'll remember this, and watch your back"........ |
| Really enjoyed this episode! The backstory was very well done. |
| That was a good episode. Liked the flashback and it was good learn about those two pasts. That wolf though.... |
| I actually found this episode the most interesting one out of the five aired so far. It was great seeing Yatori and Ikta's background story. Ikta had a nice perfect family it made me sad knowing his parents died. |

What's new to understand? we know Ikta is a clever sloth while Yatori is disciplined and formal. It just presented us their first meeting and how they acknowledged each others strength and flaws. No development on how Ikta's family suffered and his eventual disgust for Empire. |
| I usually bitch and moan whenever there's a flashback episode, but I enjoyed this one. This show is so good. I've seen some people complain that they don't adapt some parts too well but since I haven't read the manga idgaf |
| Dis some great shit. (y) I just love the relationship between these two. I also feel bad for the wolves. Though that might just be because wolves are my favourite animals, lol. They did seem a bit too smart, but starvation was probably their main drive. |
Friends are there to lend a hand when you can’t do something on your own. It’s not one person doing all the work protecting everyone, we help each other when in need. That’s what friends are for.  |
| Yatori and her ice cream. >.< Hunting wolves have never been this epic. Now we finally see how Yatori met Ikta. The ship is strong. |

| Wow this flashback was perfectly built. Ikta was already very intelligent even if he was a young boy. Nice duo. |
| No comments on Fujiwara Keiji? Always nice to hear his voice. |

Dark_Kain said: I also liked that Sol was voiced by Rikiya Koyama. Too bad their characters most likely won't make other appearances. True. But we can still hope for some flashbacks. That skill though. Recognising cool voice actors even in the smallest supporting roles xD |
|
| Loved this episode. I wanna know even more about the story that both of them share >< |
| Man, I really want to like Yatori, she's badass and stuff, but everytime she starts talking I just wanna strangle her. I know this is supposed to be a fantasy world, but those wolves cleverness was just ridiculous. |

It's well known wolves have high IQ's, in fact I was just speaking to one and he said you were a limp-wrist ninny who eats with a bib. |

| Some nice backstory, very strong relationship between the two. |
 |
| Worst episode yet, I'm not dropping this only because i'm curious about the volume 1 ending everyone is talking about. |

| oh...some backstory of Ikta & Yatori... 3/5. |
 |
| Great throwback. So young but already so badass xD |

| This episode is so enjoyable. most reason because of the characterization from both main characters. it's interesting to know that the author was trying to say that, the world in this anime, is a world with "strong live, weak die" concept but not in a way which might pissed me off. he made it in a very interesting way with the MC as the medium. and speaking of the main character, man....their relationship....so interesting lol xD i mean, they took a bath together and didn't even care with it xD i found that kinda interesting. yet they doesn't have any love interest towards each other. maybe i would called that either a parter or a simblings xD but tbh, i really like to see both of their characterization. so enjoyable and interesting to watch. the fight between the wolfs was intense too somehow xD i like that. that wolfs were smart like shit seriously....i got suprised a bit....xD now i wonder what's next..... looking foward to the next episode :D |

Although if we get a second season or a split cour, then Matthew will be second season's best character by far. The dude is awesome, that's all. |

| For now the anime is decent, but will it continue this episode was quite poor for me, I liked the previous ones better. (why are we jumping into a random flashback episode now?) modern anime really needs more timeslots, cause the characters should be fleshed out before we jump into these sort of things for more storytelling value man tho mhmm dat dialogue everytime yatori opened her mouth whooo cringe boys |

Dstar_23 said: I was not sad for the wolves but for Ikta, he went from a bright happy soul to jaded as hell ( with good reason) . They way the empire treated both his mom ( as a sex slave) and dad as a traitor for political reasons I was struggling as to why he would stay in the academy he hated. This episode explained , especially the last sene, that he only there to save yatori and eventually get her out . For those who say there glad it's not romantic I call bullshit , he obviously loves here more than anyone and is willing to do things he hates for an empire he rightly despises to stay with her. That's some serious love no matter how many " milfs" he bangs while waiting for her! nah, his mom was part of the harem of the emperor BEFORE being offered as a reward to bada sankrei who took her as his spouse. Not, afterwards. |

Dstar_23 said: Zefyris said: nah, his mom was part of the harem of the emperor BEFORE being offered as a reward to bada sankrei who took her as his spouse. Not, afterwards. Right and since she was " freed" from the harem you think she was there willingly? She was fairly obviously there as a prisoner , it's dark but that's what those bastards did in the day and age of " royalty" and nobles ... Scum almost to a person YEah she was a prisoner of war, she isn't from that country to begin with, she's Japonic so it must have been at the moment of the japonic war ikta talked about in episode 3 that it happened. Simply, if you look at the episode 5, when Ikta was 8 he had no resentment toward the emperor or the army (he was living in an imperial army base, so most of the peoples around him were actual soldiers, not only his fathers). He had more interest toward science and wanted Yatori to follow him on that side rather than being a soldier, but Ikta's days were related a lot to the army and he had no problem with it at all. Lots of peoples he really appreciated were soldiers/officers. And like I said, no trace of resenting the emperor as well. So Ikta isn't resenting anyone for that. He's resenting them for making her crying for the rest of her short life by killing his father. |
