| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Jegal Taek's shark Charyeok is just about the MOST INSANE THING EVER (and there're still more to come being suspects of the "Key"). And yeah yeah, all the other provisional cities fights: PASS (as always VERY condensed), while showing all the other martial arts that are not-so-worthy than what is already shown from the trio, the Judges and Nox's abilities. Park Il-Pyo (another Tiger Cub) gets to flex his power with the old marital arts style "Taekkyeon", a very fast action work. Even under a rival's Charyeok, it's just a piece of cake to handle. Certainly our main trio should've realized their rivals' insane Charyeok powers, and facing them head-on is just instant death (even training doesn't reach to that level). The meeting between both Tiger Cubs (him and Jin), a short but eventual meet for students taught by the same master. His backstory of meeting Jin Tae-Jin amidst harsh childhood parental life and unfamiliar surrounding, but teaching him Renewal Takewondo (just like how Jin would later be) for a renewal spirit, abetting him with the mark of a Tiger Cub. But Taek's momentary interference just about spoils their mood, and the danger is written in stone. No matter, these 2 Tiger Cubs better fight well to survive as long as they could, even if one is a fan of the other. Thank God that Judge P has secured Shim Bong-sa's wife and child amidst his death. Judge Q being cut of his then 3, now 9 months pay for using his Charyeok for property damage, and finding leftover money on the streets is kinda hilarious, but hoping he'll get his long-due pay soon enough, a deal to Daewi's advantage. With the remaining judges feat. Park Mu-Jin (with the hidden traitor in the shadows and the unknown "Key" catalyst), the fight between them and Nox is about to begin, in an all-out war of Charyeok. On the other hand, Jin, gotten word that his grandpa Jin Tae-Jin has been assumingly "killed" by Nox (but of course the culprit kept in secret), Park Mu-Jin has no choice but to etch it in his face, but in confidence he rebuts it straightaway. All that training, all that fighting for his Tiger Cub grandpa and gaining his recognition, it was a dream that ended too soon after his 6th birthday. But in the midst, a sudden birthday? A nice time of little moments to treasure their time together while they can, as teammates, and importantly, as friends fighting in the same tournament. A letter sent to Jin as a death threat? Looks like Jin Tae-Jin is still alive, but captured by Nox (with that missing arm from last episode being pivotal evidence). Time for a rescue operation! Now I truly realize that what director Park Sunghoo said about a "self-contained" story (during Crunchyroll's BTS interview), THIS IS WHAT HE MEANT. A better episode than I initially bargained for. |

| I am not sure why, but in this tournament arc of an anime, I am liking the break episode from the tournament more enticing and enjoyable than the action heavy ones. Even though there was some action in this episode, the light and slower tone really does miracles for this story. Park was a nice new character addition and I hope more is done with him outside of just his upcoming fight with Jin. Shocker, his grandpa isn't dead, but is in fact injured and kidnapped and using him as blackmail. I wonder for what purpose. Apparently one of the commissioners is a traitor, too bad I don't care enough about the story to even guess which one it is. All in all, one of the better episodes. |

| Ilpyo Park aniki has arrived, he is indeed a real bro and OP to boot. His backstory is one of the most solid ones among all GOH characters. |
 |
| I love seeing how close Jin, Mira and Daewi have grown. Their wholesome moments in the midst of all the craziness is great to see. I wish I had friends like that. I’m so glad Sim’s family is alive. It was sad enough he had to die, but his family going out too would’ve been too much. Feel bad for Q losing out on more months of pay over an assumption lmao. This was a pretty nice setup episode with relatively little action compared to the rest of the season. Some nice flashbacks with Jin and his grandfather. Nothing much else to really speak of for today. I had fun |
 |
| great episode! can't wait to see what Daewi learns from Q |
 |
| RIP Q's +3 months of salary again lmao. |
 |
| I don't care about the GOH tournament, charyeok, Nox cultist, the Anti-God commissioners administering the GOH, heck even the end of the world anymore, I thought seeing kid Mori again was enough for me but baby Mori sleeping with eye mask on takes the entire cake, icing and whatever's on top!!! ♥_♥ |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| So next ep will be Mori rescuing his grandpa I guess, I really want to see more of him tbh the backstory was quite interesting |
 |
| Really Good Episode!! Got to see some action, friendship moment, Mori's past.... But.........man......damn Rushed Anime |
My Candies:           |
| It really needed this episode. The chill vibe and the story details thrown in it were very welcomed. The fights are awesome but you need substance to make the show special. I really like the main trio even if they are cliché. Gives me Team 7/Yorozuya vibes. |

| I can surely say that GOH is getting better at every episode. I like that cliffhanger they gave us at the end. Other than that, Ilpyo Park's backstory was cool. I really like how Mori's grandpa is shown to be somewhat of a cool but strong af guy. |
| Mori's grandpa carrying kid Mori is the cutest thing. I think this is one of the best episode so far. |
| This felt like the best paced episode to me, good stuff here. |
| I actually think this is the best episode in a while, it still feels pretty fast-paced but not NEARLY as much as the past few episodes. Previously we've just had fights after fights with barely any time to comprehend what's happening, but this episode was a breather with nice flashbacks and a wholesome scene among the trios with the birthday party. I also really liked the scene with Mori Jin and Park Ilpyo fighting, I feel like they could become good friends. On another note, poor Q...9 months without pay lol. At least he'll have Daewi as his personal chef. xD |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| There should be no argument or complaints for this episode. This is the best episode yet. The only problem with this anime is that it doesn't have episodes like this. Where the story just slows down and takes its time, characters actually interact with each other and more backstory gets shown. I loved this episode. |
 |
Friends! There's nothing better to have than friends! |
| ok the key is for killing God eh and nice that Daewi will be trained by Q to have Charyeok too and looks like Mori will save his grandpa next episode |
| Definitely one of the better paced episodes, which is surprising considering so much happened. Il Pyo Park is another quickly well developed character added to the cast. I always love when the rival starts with a friendly relationship to the Hero. Also, I made a Tierranker for the different episodes cause my enjoyment changes so much week to week.

| Hmm this episode was much better than my expectations. This show is getting better compared to the first few episodes, that's for sure. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Jin, Daewi & Miira have become one of my favorite anime trios ever; there's so much chemistry between them and it's a friendship that I'd love to have! I instantly fell in love with Park Ilpyo; I have a soft spot for characters that are sweet and adorable but OP Af haha With every new episode, I grow more and more distrustful of Park Mu-Jin... there's just something so off about him. I feel like he'll turn out to be one of those characters that walk a tightrope between good and evil. |
 |
| Damn I didn't know yukihira soma was in GoH, now i'm hungry. Happy birthday Mori!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Park Mu-Jin is so sus, I need stuff explained soon. Great Episode!! ^^ |
 |
| I'm happy that the family of the previous announcer is still alive, just wish he was also still alive :( Quite the calm episode this week, and we got to see a wholesome celebration of Mori's birthday. Unfortunately things ended suspensefully with us learning that Grandpa is being held hostage, next week should be interesting. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Wait. So the two are his first frirnds since he was 6? That is so sad. ;_; But still what a nice bday. I agree much better pacing this episode. THough it is not a lot, the extra bits of world building and establishing characters were good. And every moment with Q is a win anyway. He might be a chain smoker but a great character and fighter. Hopefully, he will also be a great teacher. |
 |
| This was great, loved the vibes I got from this episode. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| One more episode of GOH and.. waht an episode! First of all Jegal Taek's shark Charyeok is just BRUTAL and the action scenens today ... just Top as the entire season :) Also great to see how interacts and support our main trio, getting closer and closer Nux vs Commisioners it seems to be the great thing in future episodes so really interesting to see wht can Daewi learn from Commissioner Q and also (and I think we´ll see it soon) how Jin is going to rescue grandpa.. Reallly solid episdoe, probably the best one so far! |
| a better episode than the previous ones, still a little rushed tho. ilpyo seems like a interesting character and his backstory was actually nice. also the bonding time between the MCs was very pleasant to watch |
 |
| Man, what a relief that the Family of the announcer is safe and alive! Also good that the commisioners have gotten permission to go all out on Nox! Quite a more relax episode, especially the second half! Some more bonding between the main trio was nice to see as they celebrated Mori's birthday! Mori get's a letter with a photo of his Grandad in chains, next week gonna be lit! Unless he will let the commisioners handle it. Would still be interesting! |
 |
| It nice seeing Daewi and Mira celebrating Mori's birthday. The main trio have gotten a lot closer since they met. Next week's episode should be an interesting one after seeing Mori's grandfather in that picture. Mori will definitely try to rescue him. |
 |
The whole Birthday scene had me tearing up... And the shark guy scares me |
 |
Ain't that sweet....but in the end they ll gonna be battling each other for the top spot. |
| It was a very confused episode. Stuff were happening while I was finding hard to keep maintaining the attention. I hope the next one will be good again. |
 |
| The break time from the tournament arc feels so right. It was having a moment the trio spending time together, properly. It was obvious that Jin Taejin is still alive. Cannot wait for his rescue. |
 |
| It was a nice episode. I think even if Jin doesn't want to, at one point he is going to take some godly power because of some survival situation. That event could be rescue mission of his grandpa. I don't think he can keep fighting after seeing that photo. |
 |
| ngl kid Mori is cute as heck lol. also I know it probably has a different meaning, but I like how there's just a swastika on the map at the end :P |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Damn I really though Mori's grandpa was dead, but I guess he's gotta rescue him now. Episode was just fine, nothing really happened, and it was a bit hard to understand. |
 |
| So for the first time we saw Ilpyo fight. He has an interesting fighting style and even tho his opponent used Charyeok he had absolut no problem with it. Interesting enough that Mori recognized his grandfathers lion symbol on Ilpyos jacket. We also saw more of the conversation between Daewi and Mujin about the Charyeok. So in theory everyone could learn it. I somewhat had a feeling Mori wouldn't want this kind of power at all. At first I was surprised about Moris reaction when Mujin showed him pictures of the place where Moris grandfather fought especially with all that blood on the ground. He didn't seem to be worried at all even if the rest of this episode showed that the opposite was the case. I liked the meeting between Mori and Ilpyo. Of course Ilpyo wanted to spare a little bit :D The flashback explains why Ilpyo has that lion on his back. But damn seeing baby Mori with that eye mask was just cuteness on another lvl. I'm glad to see Sims family being alive. Poor Q. His salary got canceled even longer lol. I hope he trains Daewi. Would be nice to see. I really loved the ending where Mira and Daewi came to celebrate Moris birthday. It's true, if you have friends like this there's almost nothing better. :) With that picture Mori got you can be sure he will try to rescue him. |
 |
| I'm really curious on what Jin Taejin said to Ilpyo, that he and his grandfather saved the world at one point. I think at one point Ilpyo will help Mori considering the debt he has to Mori's grandfather. One of the better episodes in my opinion and loved that final bit where the trio celebrated Jin's birthday. The pacing can still improve though. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| More of a "chill" episode, but i do hope to see Jin fighting in the next episode, but now after that ending...gonna be hard, he will try to find his grandpa. Park is hella strong! It does feel like he will help him in the search of Jin's grandpa. Seventeen? And he's already this badass? Damn! xD But glad Jin had his first bd party. These past 2 episodes have been pretty chill, they are saving all of the juices for the next episodes? |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| "Judging by the amount of blood lost he might be dead" Are you sure? Cause a guy got ate by a magic shark, twice, and is still kicking (granted in the OR but still) |
 |
| I love how this show goes up and down in terms of 'Hey here is a sweet moment, and then just boom, back to intense stuff.' Lovely stuff. |
