| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ash is about to go fucking BRAZYYYYYYY |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| While I have to admit that purple mohawk suits him, why Shorter isn't bald like in manga? I liked him like that way more. Okay, it's not that important. Some pitiful human trash connected to Banana Fish killed Griffin when he recognised him. You can only guess Ash isn't going to handle it well. I don't know anymore, this show hurts too much. And no spoilers but it's just going to get worse and worse so prepare tissues. |
| Another strong episode, I guess Ash will keep losing the people he cherishes, I wasn't expecting the death of his brother at all, I was even relieved when I saw that he could stand, but it didn't last. It was really satisfying to see Ash crushing that bull that wanted to rape him and getting back at those fools that thought they had the upper hand because they got their way with him once. I still think the price he paid to go to the infirmary was high, but I'm glad that he's defending himself now. Also poor Max, his best friend, that he thought that was dead, died for real, and he couldn't see him one last time, Ash hated him because he just needed someone to hate for what happened to his brother, but by the end they were friends in grief. That last scene in which they talked about Griffin, dealing with the pain of loss together was such a powerful one. I can't believe that episode after episode it doesn't lose steam. Also, I guess Eiji's parents are really protective of him, and it seems he had a reason to leave Japan so we may get to see some pain in his past. This anime is killing me. |

Ash has it hard. He was raped, abused, used, he lost his parents, Skip and now his brother, who was still suffering from the awful effects of Banana Fish. I was kind of lowkey expecting that Chinese restaurant owner to be Skip in disguise. I wasn’t too surprised. He was smart and knew that Eiji was being followed and had to stay in disguise. Max is struggling to keep Ash safe in prison while he’s also fighting for custody over his kid. Damn, this show goes deep into some real issues. He was almost raped twice today by his new cellmate and that guy who raped him in the library before. Thank goodness he finally used that fork and stabbed the motherfucker right in the penis and balls! He won’t be raping anyone anymore. Max is such an awesome guy. Despite everything, he doesn’t mind if Ash killed him because he feels guilty and responsible for Griffin. He’s not responsible for him or should feel guilty but he does. I hope he gets custody of his kid but I’m not sure if that’ll work considering he went to jail and has a strike on his record but we’ll see. |
| 臭い- |
| I reallly like Max. Such a well developed, fascinating character. Fuck that Bull dude & that other rapist. Glad Ash lit their asses up. annelora said: And no spoilers but it's just going to get worse and worse so prepare tissues. Well, damn. |
  |
| In the manga, it was Garvey (the guy who raped Ashe in the library) who became the new cellmate, and it was incredibly satisfying to see Ash beat the hell out of Garvey in a fight like that. Why did they replace Garvey in place of some random generic dude for this episode? I guess that's a minor complaint, but why change? I don't see the benefit. Other than that, it was a solid episode. |
| well that was a depressing episode.. and a slow one…hmm chalo on we go… damn the realities … |
 |
| Griffin is dead. Max is a good character. I was expecting a generic yaoi bait but they care about character development and plot. Ash stabbing his rapist's dick LMAO. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| damn! Life is very though in prison >_< Hang in there Ash! You are doing great kicking all those sorry asses. another death confirmed :( RIP Griffin |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Well that was sad... And also that is what I call a good character. Also that scene where ash stabbed that shitheads sick was satisfying. He deserved it. |
| Signature removed.AGAIN. |
| Although I was expecting Griffin to die at some point, I didn't expect it to be this soon. It was still sad tho. Max had it rough too, he didn't have the chance to see his old friend for one last time. There was some good character development for both him and Ash, being honest. It was a nice episode. P.S.: Ash stabbing that bastard in the balls was sooooooo satisfying. |
| Eiji is saved thanks to Shorter. I kinda figured he was the restaurant owner from before. He seems like a nice character. They did a good job saving Eiji but unfortunately, Griffin was killed in the process. Poor Ash, he keeps losing people left and right. I loved that Ash really showed up his next potential rapist. Not only that, but he also put a fork through the dick of his last rapist. It was great. I don’t think anyone will be messing with him anymore. I feel so bad for Max, he’s so affected by everything that’s happening. All he wanted to do was make things right for Griffin, and now, he’ll never even get the chance to see him again. He seems so hopeless now. At least Ash doesn’t completely hate him. |
| Pretty emotional episode, it seems a lot of people are dying lately, tone down before you end up with not too many people alive to continue on, I wonder when Ash is going to get released and set off to get his revenge, I'm pretty sure by now that Max will have to help out too, they are going to bring down that mafia family. I hope they could have told Ash that Griffin was able to stand up and actually say something, that could probably give him a clue. |
| It was really satisfying seeing Ash jump off the cell bar to kick the rapist's ass. Can't help but cringe over the fork-on-dick situation though. Urg. I hope Eiji doesn't blame himself on Griffin's death, nor would Ash. They need to stick together. |
| Griffin wasn't all there for a while. As much as it hurts Ash and Max to lose someone... I'm not sure there was much of a life in Griffin. It wasn't fair to anyone in that situation. |
 |
| I kinda expected Griff to get better eventually, not die this fast :( Such a shame, poor Ash! |
  |
| Poor Griff but if anything, it'll definitely make Ash stronger! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I wanna know Ash's backstory |
  |
| Im so happy about Ash stabbing his rapist's dick with a fork. Hell yeah the satisfaction. A very welcome change tbh (in the manga, it's Garvey who becomes his roommate and gets nearly killed, but there's smth about getting stabbed in the dick that makes a much more satisfying payback) |

| Rip Griffin, still hiding some important thing on him but he died already. That doctor is sus. Wong is cool guy and funy. |
| Oh man what an depressing episode. Griffin death was so fast... Wtf man We just 4 episodes in and already lost two people. |
 |
| RIP Griffin. And common Shorter W. |
 |
| Literally one of the worst episodes I have ever seen. Plot infested mess. How can anyone like this?! |
Anastasia_1997 said: The plan was incredibly not very smart (mods dont ban) and so are you.The rape in episode 3, horrible. When the bull guy told ash that ash "gave it to garvey without a fight" and ash basically said it was because he wanted to go to the infirmary then, so when the rape in episode 3 happened ash didnt fight back because he wanted to get hurt, so he would get to the infirmary, and he knew if he would get himself raped he would be hurt, a plan. so basically strategically allowing attackers to gang-rape him in prison. they wanted to rape him, and he knew if he let them he would get to be in the infirmary as he himself said. But, nevertheless it was horrible, because ash didn't enjoy it, and he didnt do it because he wanted to, but because it was necessary to get to the infirmary, so it was still rape at the end. he knew beforehand they wanted to rape him, so when they jumped him and started raping him, he wasn't defending himself or fighting against it because he wanted to get hurt to go to the infirmary..but it was rape nevertheless, ash knew it was necessary but he didn't do because he wanted to, only because it was necessary, so he endured the rape.. he was tied up and forcibly raped, but he didn't try to resist it because he wanted to get hurt to go to the infirmary. If you look at his reaction to the rape that happened in 3 episode vs his reaction to the rape in episode 22. In episode 22 he tried to fight it, and he escaped after the rape, but after that he breaks down and eiji hugs to calm him down. And after the rape in episode 3 he seemed more okay, because it was planned and he didn't fight against it, horrible yes..rape also yes, but it was part of his plan..just saying that there's a difference between the two rapes, one that he didn't fight for a reason(ep3)... and the second he truly was against and was fighting(ep22). |
| The LAUGH I let out when the dude said, "The land of the free? The hell it is!" Lmaoooooo! Cuz it's true! The US is fucked! 😂 |
  |
| all these nasty freaky men around ash ughhhh heart literally broke for him when his brother died TT |
