Damn, I feel bad for Rein this episode. She's got a lot of guts for going through all that pain and with the plan.

That turned deadly as I had expected with the big shootout. However, given the context of the events that unfolded, it looks like Kaname and his allies really does trust Rein.

Wang and his Eighth clan needs to be taken down. How dare he break Rein's arm.

It seems Rein solved the event.

Damn the florist died and Ryuuji lost an arm. Wang's a total psycho, he must die. Also Rein solved the mystery, I wonder what the reward is.

Despite his best efforts the members of the 8th were just far too powerful to handle for the florist. Its too bad that he never got see his daughter again though. Putting in the last interaction between the two was a nice touch. Kaname's team though sure made a timely entrance to save Rein though. Despite his obnoxious attitude Wang's abilities sure were impressive. A swordsman that can close distance in a literal instance is a deadly foe. Rein's sigil though sure is impressive though the downside for that deep analysis is that it requires either allies or a secure location for it to be used safely. Overall an interesting ep that blended well action with plot advancement as Kaname and clan work to both unravel the truth while also fighting the 8th off and in the process doing well to expand upon Rein's abilities. Im curious though on what Kaname plans to do next with the intel that was found.

"I've been waiting for this. The moment I can pump you full of lead" "I don't even know who the hell you are" "You will"

This episode was straight gas. Ichi's sacrifice was a noble one, feel for his daughter though, to not even know the circumstances surrounding your father's death will be so hard on her :( Wang and the 8th have to be taken down, their arrogance and bloodlust is awful.

Rein looks like she has the solution but will she be able to reap the benefits? Can't wait for next episode. This show is hella underrated. Maybe because it's my first battle royale series but for me it's been fresh, fun and constantly keeping me on the edge of my seat waiting for what happens next. Definitely one of the best of the season despite how people wrote it off.

A lot happened in this episode. So much one simple comment isn't enough in my book lol.

How many members does Wang bloody have? Seemed like more popped up as more were put down. Seems like Rein's full power hurts herself oof. Be interesting to see what the mc's plan is by 'surrendering.'

Rip florist guy, you literally went out in style!

Wang breaking Rein's arm really sounded awful. She did manage to break the code and find the real treassure, but now is the question does Kaname already know that or is what he's trying to offer Wang a big bluff? Only Ryuuji can tell if he's lying or not! Guess we'll see next week!

Pretty obvious plant dude would die. Otherwise he would have been in the OP... Dude was kind of a dumbass anyway. Plenty of ways to make money in Darwin's game outside of this hyper dangerous event.

The internal Laplace was pretty weird. It basically turned her into a computer/search engine.

When an antagonist becomes so hated so quickly is because is a great character, despite how asshole they can be (think of Joffrey from game of thrones), the same happen with Wang. It's ben a long time since I see a character so sadistic and fucked up that can kill anyone without compassion or remorse it's really an enemy to be fear of. I hope he gets a bloody and painful death for breaks Rein's arm.

Damn, The Florist didn't make it. What a shock... hope he took some Eighth members' lives with him at least.

So-so episode. Quite boring actually.
Particularly, I was already expecting Wang to be your typical over-the-top villain but man, he's just a brainless meathead. And here I thought he would have at least some kind of character depth but guess I was asking for too much.

Other than that, the rest of the episode felt really flat.

The pacing was good this episode; it was one of the best eps yet objectively. It ended on a decent cliffhanger, too. I wonder what Kaname's scheming?

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

Yes.

Especially the moment everybody stands meters away from each other armed to the teeth. They all open fire and... Ryuuji mows everybody down, no casualties whatsoever.

Wang is also pretty disappointing and would so far easily fill the role of a generic grunt in other shows.

It was expected, especially with how the previous episode ended, that Dio the Florist would die. RIP, even if I didn't really care much about him as a character.

Let's see how well Kaname can negotiate with someone as insane as Wang.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

"Sasuga Wang-san." Lol. We got to hear that often on the last few episodes. I like how stupid people praise Wang for recognizing stuff where you don't need to be tooo ingelligent.

It's nice though that he is a bit more ingelligent and not super stupid and recognizing the usual things in fighting to survive. (Like how the other guy wanted to bait him while keeping him at distance.)

Makes the anime not tooo stupid compared to anime where the enemy just is super stupid but uses brute force and the good guys are even stronger - or using some brains making the enemy die because of a silly mistake.

Funny when the Florist guy got attacked from the other guy that could manipulate air - when they just leisurely talked about climbing and stuff. (Pretty interesting skill though with that air. Too bad that guy died - at least I guess both died when the hotel got destroyed.)

Eh, Wang is a real sadistic mofos, his liquor looked really dreaful. Can't wait for him to die, if that happens later on ! Also, I'd like to know if the 2 of his lieutenants were eventually killed by the Florist, hoping his sacrifice gave some positive results to the whole party.

The big battle of the Treasure Hunt continues at the hotel, with the Florist Hiiragi vs. the Eighth clan. RIP to the sacrificial dad whose dreams can't be realized to save his ailing daughter.

Meanwhile, Rein has half-solved the riddle, just that Wang's clan is one step ahead by collective manipulative efforts. And just in time, Kaname's clan caught into them. Just as is with tactics, a breakdown in negotiations means there's only one way to go: all-out violence.

Only Rein could bring an end to this riddle: Charles Darwin's book (I suppose that's how D-Game started) whilst Wang's sadistic kill streak continues. Only at the last minute, Kaname falsely surrenders with a lie that leans on with the clan's philosophy of "give and take", that only the people he knows his replica Sigil will change the tide of the game.

What will the death battle result be?

I actually liked the plant guy, too bad he completely ignored any advice and decided to be a dumbass.

These evil guys are all wearing the same clothes and they even have the same facial expressions at times. It's so lazy but hilarious at the same time.

That ass pull ability of Rein out of nowhere LOOOL, random ass numbers = old italian war = location of treasure. I knew from the start i was going to enjoy this trash because of the mirai nikki vibes and i'm not disappointed.

Haven't seen anyone mention it yet but anyone notice how just....beautiful and creative the way the show portrays the inside of Rein's mind? Like when she dives (literally in this case) into the deepest depths of her brain it's simply breathtaking how beautiful they made it look. Not to mention the depiction of prehistorical sea life was a really interesting take on it.

This on top of a already interesting use of historical events and people, with little to no CG (I've only seen it once and I barely noticed it) and the characters all seem believable. None of them seem like they were half baked or had minimal thought put into them to make them clearly throw away characters. This being within our world (not a Isekai) makes both the nutzo character (Wang) and the sane ones (the MC) actually quite believable given the setting.

This anime is constantly keeping my on the edge of my seat and is keeping a really well and consistent pacing and I am surprised about it. It does go a little fast at times but it seems to stay around a stable middle point most of the times. With slow downs when it's needed (like with the Florists death and when Rein talks about her Sigil at the start of the last EP), everything else is face paced and well done.

Sad that this anime isn't being reviewed better on MAL. Most recent review was from someone who rated it with a 1/10. Like they claimed they watch up to EP4 but I find that hard to believe. Seems like someone who's got personal beef with the show and isn't very rationally critical about. Personal agenda maybe? lol
