This was an episode of celebration of drinks, food, and drama at the bar lol. Yea, of course they would add in some spicy drama.

Second half of this episode also turned out to be slightly eerie. Boji is still prone to emotional outbursts but who can blame him at this point. It was an emotional episode for him.

Yay, Bojji's training with Despa is done, and at least is now competent in the Despa arts, so a hearty celebration it is...to Kage's dismay that Despa tries to buy his way out of the argument. At the very least, Bojji has a sword, but that needle-like sword is one that's more suitable for jousting.

Quite cool that in the face of trouble a.k.a the Aban Brothers, Despa chooses to ignore them...that is until he shows hand into action that shows his weak self. Well, a good chance for Bojji to test his strength both bare-handed and with the sword, a child's One Punch Boy if you will that's looking so cute and even more so precise with the weapon. Honestly though, Despa fascinates me and I have full respect for him teaching Bojji how to defeat enemies without actually losing a life...or vice versa.

The Despa Arts is VERY interesting, that is a power that I would like to have! Except that the truth otherwise, is just a staged effort that truly exposes how Bojji still has aways to go, but depending on his growth, it can be hit or miss.

Bebin the Snake Handler's comeback won't be that fast because of King Bosse's indictment in the kingdom, but for now, tracking Bojji and his progress that's less of the quality of a king, but the promise maker of people and the hope to come.

Things aren't looking too great in the kingdom, and Bojji will only have more hallucinations into thinking that his own mother caused his near-death, just like Kage did. Just a sad sight to see Bojji beating himself up, and that's character development too.

Have some courage, O little one.

Not that entertaining of an episode for me overall tbh and it had me feeling a little dull at times and not feeling much for Bojji's characterization in this episode, but shows like these are bound to have episodes like these to serve as good stepping stones for the long run and that's where the Despa Arts and how Bojji can be strong in his own unique kind of manner, Bojji's past with the serpents and other little elements come through. So I won't complain much about it, episodes like these could serve importantly for the long run of the series if the final arc, climax and payoff are gold.

Amazing episode, at one point I was afraid if this training is a lie, but thanks that this anime isn't too cruel to a kindheart character.

Prince Bojji is gonna need courage a lot because he has to believe in other that is not completely good or evil, he has to embrace the beauty and the ugly side of human's soul.

I will begrudgingly admit there were multiple times in this episode that I doubted is Despa was for real or not. When he chuckled after Bojji threw that first punch I thought he might have been tricking Bojji this whole time leading to this inevitable moment. Or later when he went to meet up with the bar brawl participants afterwards I thought he might've staged the whole thing to make Bojji believe he'd gotten stronger when he really hadn't. But turns out it's something in between, Bojji did actually get stronger through Despa training and he does know how to hits opponents weak points. Despa just staged those guys walking in and attacking him, knowing that Bojji would jump to defend his teacher. Despa simply wanted to see if Bojji could apply his new teachings in a real fight. Albeit a fight where the guys were probably holding back but still an actual fight. Bojji did a great job using those techniques he'd learned regarding attacking weaknesses. Kage being on the side with his emotions jumping from scared to proud to angry and back around again was hilarious. We've known from the last few episodes things were tumultuous in Bojji kingdom so he is faced with that hard choice now that he's stronger to go back home now or not. I'm glad that they're about to journey back and hopefully help Daida, maybe the big snakes feeling from years ago will come true.

Ah got it. So, Bojji can hit people and things weak points. Not only that it was hinted that he has another skill from training under Despa( though” it isn’t gonna be used much”).

Also, we learn that the biggest reason Bebin puts his trust into Bojji. It’s because of his love for Mitsumata and Daida. I’m still glad that introduced him to Pronce Despa, because this is the mentor Bojjji needed.

We also learned where Bojji learned his speed and evasion from, it’s from none other than our 3 (2)headed friend(s) Mitsumata.

The emotional but at the end when Bojji is thinking about Domas, Hiling and Hokuro not not wanting him around; then Kage making Bojji remember that Queen Hiling does care about him was wonderful.

Also, what was that ending. Was it a cannibal eating a human, or a sick creature eating some other creature?

It actually makes a lot of sense that Bojji thinks that Hiling could have been behind his assassination since she sent him with Domas and Hokuro and then we draw the parallels with Kage's mom and what he saw in Hiling, loved this scene.

Absolutely spectacular episode. I thought we wouldn't see an episode as good as 7 because the directing was so much fun but damn this episode was just as good.

Bojji's new weapon and fighting style makes a lot of sense. Rapier is a suitable weapon for him.

Great episode! Kage was really shocked when he saw that Boji's sword was EXTREMELY thin with a very sharp point on the end of the blade xD.
It seems that he uses it because it dilates the blood vessels by stimulating them meaning the heart can't push blood to the brain so they get knocked out. He's pretty intelligent and deadly!
It seems that Despa had actually paid the three green thug guys to instigate a fight/hit him so Boji could show his skill lol.
Boji was really beating himself up for not believing in Queen Hilling (actually beating himself up xD). They are now heading home!

Looking forward to the next episode!

So Boji's weapon was a Rapier sword all along and he seem to master the art of striking an opponents pressure point. Although we don't really know how strong Boji really is yet since Despa paid those guys to start the fight.

You can insult my apprentice, but you can't insult me. That subverted my expectations, lol. Also that the situation was staged. I was expecting some Shanks or Luffy way of dealing with small fries.

Kage telling Bojji that he lacks courage followed by him crying and beating himself was brutal, but I'm glad that he was able to deal with it

The ending was creepy af tho....I don't remember that person, so I hope we get to see what that's all about next week

Despa getting angry "You can talk about my disciple, but I'll not allow to insult me" ... lol, Kage saying "shouldn't be the contrary?" was totally me, XDDD

and the sound effect of Bojji's punches is cute and funny at same time, XD

for a moment, when Despa meet the brothers after the battle, I thought was everything staged to fool Bojji... glad he just want to test him... lol, he didn't even blink when the guy said he can't accept the money

Another great episode. Bojji finally finished his training and is gonna celebrate by eating good food. Time to show the result of his training by defeating the Aban brothers lol. Despa arts is so cool. The next half of the episode was emotional, Bojji needs to have the courage to trust others. Queen Hiling is a good mother. Kage always supporting Bojji every single time. Im so happy

Boji matured the proof of that and his fight against those men was really cool, even the Kage commented a little about he if very fast, and it was explained so well I also thought the snake was a good person, Boji's
Master talking to the knights I found it a mystery at the time, but then I understood all that.

Last scene with Bojji doubting Hiling's intentions made me feel bad. Good thing the boy didn't let those bad thoughts overtake his mind.

Another solid episode. Bojji's weapon being a Rapier and his technique being one that practically doesn't rely on physical strength are so perfect for him. Can't wait to see that other "skill" Despa mentioned, btw.

And on a side note, this episode sure featured some really smooth scene transitions, huh?

I guess it's the other 'technique' that Despa talked about.

He said that Bojji might not get a chance to use it.. Usually that means there will be a chance to use it in the future, but this show just loves to play around with your expectations so who knows.

After all these time, I just realized Bojji has mastered ultra instinct lmao, and it's Mitsumata that taught him. Great episode!

For a second there, I thought Despa paid those brothers to act like they got clapped, but he just asked them to pick a fight, was about to be sad as fuck there if it was the former. Sorry for doubting you Despa, you'll always be a real one.

"You can insult my apprentice, but don't you dare insult me," lmao Despa is absolutely based.

Bojji punishing himself for ever doubting Hiling was pretty sad. We don't doubt best mom in here. Now what the fuck is that thing at the end there though. Really looking forward to the next episode.

Ah, so thats the fruit of Bojji training off the screen. Even though its not even the whole talent, skill, and power he got, as the first son of the great giant. But at least i know that Bojji can do a counter attack smoothly, even used the weapon which surprisingly quite make a sense for someone as flexible as Bojji, and not just dodging. Nicely well done work, Prince Despa, and your act to unleashed Bojji result also a brilliant move. Then, well, its time to return home already, eh?

I say this again for many times, but Hiling and Bojji scene always giving me such a touching moment with their wholesomeness. Even though Bojji had a slight doubt, even suspect the queen for the previous incident happened to him, he need to put more trust to the people surrounded him like Despa taught, same with Domas and Hokuro, and more importantly with Queen Hiling and her kindness on the past. Good boy even hurt himself to punish his naive thinking against the innocent souls. I wish you successfully accomplished your goal when coming home....

Another strangely character appeared at the end. Either he's bad or good news, let the story telling itself slowly, like its supposed to be.

I loved this episode, as always, it was a nice "transition" episode where we got to see Bojji's training coming to an end & reveal his skills.

Though, to make something clear : Bojji is invincible if he's in the right mindset, but as we saw throughout this episode, Bojji can lower his guard and be weak to attacks if those are mentally affecting him.

So yea, Bojji's still a kid and well, bullies are everywhere so that's probably why Despa also trained him in being less of a victim and more of a believer.

Can't wait for next week's episode, that one is called "The Big and Little Brother" (roughly translated).

Either backstory episode about the two bros relationship with a return of Bojji at the end of the episode and discovering his daddy in Daida's body, or Bojji being directly back to the castle and trying to save Daida (I believe the 1rst more than the 2nd).

Also, we'll have a Domas vs Apeas fight coming soon in the Underground of the castle x)

Finally, we know Bojji's heading back home, we know the Queen is leaving the Castle, so that fulfills the prediction Queen Hilling had about not seeing Bojji nor Daida ever again.

I think they won't be at the same place for a while, or the Queen will end up dying before they reunite.

I was waiting for the past 2 episodes for them to finally show us how strong Bojji has become. We finally find out in this episode that Bojji's training is over and it is confirmed that he might really just be the strongest person right now. Good episode.

I wonder if Bosse and Bojji will have a one on one fight, Bojji is returning to the kingdom and as Bosse knows Bojji is the strongest person right now, he's gonna wanna fight him, looking forward to that fight, we might also get to see his special secret move which he probably used to smash that huge rock.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
