| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Kaname should be more optimistic about their survival rate. At least he and Rein has a strategy in their heads now to avoid the cameras. I can't believe the guy Kaname faced has rock armor lol, kinda ridiculous if you ask me. At least Kaname won with that big ass gun of his. |
 |
| Wow the whole episode was actually really tense, that's good. |
 |
| That was a great fight. So there is a limitation in how Kaname can use his abilities. As Rein said, all the strong players will come after them. |
 |
| Pretty exciting episode, the fight was great. I was thinking that Shuka will come to save Kaname but good thing he managed to defeat the florist on his own. It will be nice to see all of them working together. |
 |
| The plant armor was so anime I cringed. But I won't pretend I didn't enjoy the episode. |

 |
| So in the end after being maxed out the Florist forms a clan with Kaname and Rein. |
| The earrape stun grenades lmao. I got multiple Apocrypha flashbacks. |
| Can't Kaname copy other people's Sigil? Like, at least the solid ones? He did manage to copy a pen, so we can know he can copy more than just weapons. Kaname's sigil reminds me of Fushi. I really can't wait for "Fumetsu no Anata he" anime. |
| So there is even more to Kaname's sigil. This should come in handy, especially when he already has sth. physical to manipulate instead of summoning it from thin air. Talking about versatile. The flowershop keeper/ botanist has everything covered from short to long range. Together the 3 of them should make a great team. If he accepts that is... |
 |
| Hmm foresight huh. A rather curious ability. Forcing your enemy to react to your moves is an excellent first step for counterattacking. Still the master of the vines was no mere fool sadly. While still wary of direct combat Kaname's mind sure is capable of devising some interesting strategies. Using Rein to draw out the pawns while going for the head sure is a bold move. As suspected Kaname's sigil really was the ability to materilize weapons that he seen before. When paired with his ability to modify it this sure made his sigil that much more powerful. Overall a solid ep that managed to balance well the combo of action and character expansion. Its nice that Kaname as a character finally gets some much needed expansion. The decision to create an improvised clan to survive against the eighth clan though was an interesting and logical suggestion though. So far the alliance between Rein and Kaname sure is working brilliantly. |

| Its great that the florist has the same voice actor as DIO. Checkmato DA |
| 👉👌 |
| Real interesting ability Rein has. Reminds me of Oda from Bungou Stray dogs. |
| Why doesn't he just create a laser gun or something, he has the most OP power and just makes a shitty gun. He could even just spawn in a nuke and remotely detonate it killing every other player in the world. |
| Kaname put up quite the fight against the 'florist", he was no easy target to defeat as he proved to be good at both offence and defence. Using the roots as armour was a good stragety! Rein has an interesting and helpful ability, foresight! Hope the Florist guy will work together with Kaname and Rein, but I feel like he's only going to end up dead soon either way... |
 |
| please do not tell me this is THAT kinda anime where he needs a whole ass five minute monologue before he whips out the big guns (this time literally) |
fuckgendo said: please do not tell me this is THAT kinda anime where he needs a whole ass five minute monologue before he whips out the big guns (this time literally) Chill, not gonna happen again, now he almost fully understands his ability. From now on he will be in planning the shit out of everything mode. :D |
| as a manga reader that was greet episode!! 5/5 |
 ”A fight isn't won once a victor is decided, it's won when someone loses.” – Izayoi SakamakiI don’t even know the real names of the two… no, three that I killed back then. I just closed my eyes, put my hands over my ears and tried to forget it all.” – Kirito MY ANIME LIST |
| Pretty good episode, we've got some fights including a different opponent with his special abilities ! Made Kaname overcoming his limits to get out alive |
 |
| I despise this overwhelmingly loud sound effect, and the fact that I've been seeing more and more of it every season. |

| I'm glad Kaname beat the florist by himself. An improvised team seems like a fitting end, especially for a game of survival like Darwin's Game. |

| This episode was great |
 |
| Lol this series is worse than I thought. Thought I can enjoy a good death game with people using wit/ knowledge, ended up being a typical shonen series with free power boost of mc on spot after a flashback. Time freeze, flashback, inner Chūni monologue, free power boost. Not to mention the plant guy attack can easily break floors and walls, yet after taking two direct hit from him, mc takes literally no damage, and instead break the walls behind him. He didn't wear any armours, his ability doesn't provide him any defense advantage yet his body can easily withstand blows that can crash floors and building, showing that his body is freaking way harder than walls/ bricks. (That punch alone is more powerful than bullets according to how easily he break concrete objects, normal human would turn into pieces when being hit directly w/o any form of protection, nice way to get a free 10000% boost in defense cuz mc plot armour) Remember this is not a fantasy world , and the mc is only an ordinary high school kid? There's no justification for any of this in this episode. Also I despise mc being the typical "holy man" mc. Yeah can't kill any enemies mc defeated, gotta forgive and cooperate with all of them despite they just killed like 20 people awhile ago. Am I actually watching Fairy Tail? Furthermore, if the plant guy has this degree of close combat power/ defense, there's literally 0 justification him never showing up in front of people and only use traps to defeat enemies. (From episode 3 info) Nice way to completely break a villain's setting and makes everything about him makes 0 sense. Guess this is just another entertaining trash series. Seriously I was originally thought this could be a decent 7 series, not anymore. This is like SAO but worse. |

| TRAAAAAAAAACEEEE OOOOOOOOOOOOON!!! Not gonna lie, the whole blacksmith analogy was pretty UBW-like. So in the end, Kaname managed to beat the Florist on his own after going through the usual "hidden power" shounen flashback/realization, uh? OK episode overall. It wasn't that special but at least, the action was entertaining enough. Knowing about Rein's sigil and the way it works was also really interesting, by the way. |
| Decent episode. Fight was alright, former enemies now have to work together if they wanna survive against the stronger players. Curious to see how this is gonna turn out, |

Seriously I was originally thought this could be a decent 7 series, not anymore. This is like SAO but worse. Bruh you have no clue how wrong you are. He didn't get a boost from a flashback he finally understood how to use his sigil more efficatily, sure inner monologue but still he knows nothing much about his own sigil, how is something a power boost when you finally learn how to use it more. Yeah the florist is strong sure but he wanted to test his strength against Kazama to what he can do. The florist saw Kazama fighting spirit at the end of episode 3. He thought maybe this person could give me a fight since he didn't out kill Kazama once he came out of the room. So he wanted to see what Kazama fighting abilities. Worse than SAO this is a better version of future dairy witch was just as bad as SAO. Beside this is a death game like you said it. It knows how to use sigils there good and not just make it broken. Considering the more people use their sigil the more tired they get so it can't be use indenfaily where they can use it 24/7 without reprcations. You can try to act its bad but it's better than most anything aring this season. Funny you saying how wrong I were yet you fail to disprove ANY of my points lolz. Anyway Mal enjoying their edgy shonen high school kid turns op battle royale, and ignore any plot armour/ plot convenience/ bs power up/ illogical setting and characters, not surprised. As long as it has cool sekuga and decent animation it's good for them. I'll give an example of very exaggerated but good power system. Kill La Kill has some very over the top power up and mc turns op, but they explain the concept within its world setting by saying the clothes they wear is literally from alien technology, and grants immense power to human who wear them. Darwin's Game introduce their power setting by letting each participants get one super power, this is an ok and functional concept. What doesn't make sense is not mc has the ability, but rather he withstand a super power attack w/o actually using any super power to defend it. It's literally just plot armour cuz he's mc so he take no dm from lethal hits, able to stand up again and retaliate. This is what I call shonen bs moment. This is even worse cuz the setting of this mc is an ORDINARY HIGH SCHOOL KID in ep1, not fantasy world mc with unnatural power level. |

NayRAW said: i hate episode 1 and 2 but damn episode 3 and 4 are really good, that's why many otaku use 3 episodes rule to judge the anime right. and why i heard that florist voice like Dio voice he even said Muda, and Kaname OraOra him with gun this anime have JoJo reference!!!!!!!! I'm the opposite. I think ep 2~3 is fine, then ep4 ruins everything for me lolz. Ep 3 is probably the only good episode since it actually use some wit instead of just shonen plot armour. |
| Such a crap disappointing show. You have some people with broken abilities like this girl who can forsee the godamn future and a guy who can make plants which can withhold the force of explosions, bullets AND make an undead army. Meanwhile the poor bastard of a hero in episode 1 could only "see people's like energy" which was only relevant for that invisible mascot.. So imbalanced and stupid. This fight was embarrassing on sword art online levels. *Spawns gun* *shoots with gun* notices the gun has zero effect. Wait I've got it, i'll spawn ANOTHER gun and do the exact same thing while my stamina depletes...same result. Oh but wait, i'm the protagonist and the creator of this show has shit writing so i'm gonna have a vision which increases my power level over 9000 and turns my gun into a super duper SAO cannon to shoot away any form of respect from the viewers 11/10. What a ridiculous power boost, this show gets worse with each episode |
| This anime is actually really entertaining. Really similar to BTOOOM!! since it's about people in modern/survival setting but everyone has different abilities/weapons. I am enjoying it. Despite that, I don't think this is a good anime but it's fine for me to watch just for brainless entertainment. |

What a ridiculous power boost, this show gets worse with each episode You are way too overreacted. It is not even that bad. If there is a good skill then there is also a bad skill, there is nothing wrong with that. The game allow them to fight with other method beside the skill anyway. People in panic won't be able to think properly. When MC got a chance to claim down he can think properly and come up with a plan. The power-up was not even that broken dude, he just increase the power of his shot. |
| I don't know. I sort of expected everything that was happening. Perhaps i've seen way too much anime. |
| well aside from the ridiculous amount of annoying inner monologues from plant bro it was a fun episode |
| This episode was fine, the animation was on a good level. One thing I don't like is that everything is too easy to predict. |
 |
| so like now everyone is pals now |
 |
| It was okay. Very anime though. This is basically a tournament battle shonen with a deathgame twist. That's not neccessarily a bad thing. I'm enjoying it thus far. |
