MiniFreeza said: I am not saying that scene wasn't emotional. It was !! But I think It wasted way too much time. Moreover I really don't understand why kage's mom want his son to come to the other side. That whole scene felt a bit awkward to me. ZXEAN said: That small fight scene at the end was well animated. I think this episode wasted too much time in showing kage and his mother interaction that scene doesn't contribute anything to the overall story arc. 4/5 You're saying that cause you basically got no heart. Also, you're wrong. It contributed to the overall story arc as the "Thanks" he gave to Miranjo, healed her humanity that lied with Daida, but also added a little emotion touch by letting Kage see and talk to his mother one last time, and get comfort in knowing she's doing fine. Now that Miranjo's not just darkness and turned the page on her sad story, she should be the key to both getting Ouken back on track (immunity lifted) and healing everyone (as we saw, she's the only one there that can heal atm as Hilling is out). We'll probably even see her smile again, as that's what Bosse wanted. So please, don't say stupid things like this again, just think before commenting. To be honest I am not emotionally invested in this show and I don't perform any deep analysis. I just expressed my overall thought regarding this episode which is allowed I guess. Moreover I can say the same thing to you ; Think twice before writing anything bro your AOT review is awful. |

| I will always say that the flashback on the second episode was stupid. This episode would have been great with more build up around the identity of Kage and how it develops a parallel with the mother of Miranjo. Anyways, the fight was extremely well done, it lacked impact but that was probably my own lack of engagement with the story |
| Really cool sakuga during the Last Bastion fight with Ouken. I expected them to focus a bit more on the Kage powerup and I thought it was a bit weird that it didn't seem to be that significant to the plot. |

MiniFreeza said: Sure, but if you don't like character development, just don't watch ? If you're just here for Sakuga, better off just watching clips on Youtube of these scenes. I'm just getting tired of these Sakuga/Action people that are here to say "OMG this was an AMAZING fight !!", and whenever they take the time to show some development, they're complaining saying it took too much time. Well go watch something else more action-wise then ? sorry to jump in, but i have to say this.. are you trying to gatekeeping someone from watching Anime? he can dislike something and still watching it. |

| those villagers are seriously sick. doing that to someone, to a CHILD and laughing it off, getting joy from it. fuckin hell no wonder bosse raged hard after that. still not on board with how miranjo ruined several peoples' lives after that thoππ seeing the red demon satan thing in human form was weird lol. it being bald was kinda funny that scene with kage and his mom. he's moved on to help with bojji. the big four fighting ouken was super cool, love how they just forgot abt dying despa bojji lol |

Moreover I can say the same thing to you ; Think twice before writing anything bro your AOT review is awful. How in hell is her mom supposed to know he isn't fully dead ? Also, wouldn't that be a mom reaction to want her son back with her ? Were you expecting her to say something like "This is not your time, Kage, go back to your friends, they need you" ? Well sorry to disappoint, but this show has always been realistic when dealing with emotions, and it's only natural for a parent to want their child back. As for that scene, it took the time it took, but needed to be there. Unless freaking Annie in the latest episode of AoT that took an awful lot of time into some "talk no jutsu" that was skippable imo (or at least, could've been shortened). My AoT score and comments will stay, cause that's how i feel about this lame season. |

| All and all good but I feel this fight is getting dragged. |
TyranoTortoise said: Same here. Last few minutes looked great, but the whole fight with Ouken is way too long (including last few episodes), especially considering that he is immortal and we know fighting him in a traditional way is just useless. Ouken might as well be the main villain now with how much screentime this conflict gets.I know I’m gonna get fried for this, but I’m bored with Ouken’s immortality. I don’t like immortal characters in general, and kinda ready for something else. Love the fight scenes though. |

| https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2022-02-25/viewer-debates-resurface-arounds-alleged-japan-korea-colonization-allegory-in-ranking-of-kings/.182948 I don't know if anyone has heard about this. What do you guys think about it? edit: I'm not saying I agree or that people should demonize the series or the author for it. The jury is still out honestly, at first glance I honestly did not even think about it but some parallels are difficult to ignore. |
| So, Miranjo apparently has a change of heart. I'm starving for the devil backstory though. |
| All of the fights in this episode were smooth and pleasing to the eye. However I can't help but feel no urgency or care for the characters that get hurt. We're shown time and time again that they'll just get healed from whatever wounds. Kage literally got brought back to life in the same episode he died in, by Miranjo. So clearly Queen Hilling's not the only person that can heal people. Yes I know Hilling is out of magic but before the Big Four's fight with Ouken, someone mentioned there's another way to heal Bojji. I imagine that when Kage wakes up he's going to run to the new healer person and bring them to the battle to heal everyone. |

Ouken might as well be the main villain now with how much screentime this conflict gets. On the contrary it shows how difficult dealing with an immortal fighter is. Some have been better matched than others but we have no winners. I like how subtly serious the show is portraying his immortality so I don't at all find it dragged out. Their only weapon really is the lightning to incapacitate him but he overcame that. There's probably another way. The reason why you feel its taking long isn't because its actually long but there's frequent and long exposure scenes on all the characters sprinkled throughout the episodes. The Ouken encountering Bojji probably are about an ep to 2 eps long if stitched together. Feels like everyone's immortal in this show with healing and resurrecting magic. Oh no Kage's dead, oh wait never mind. |
| Finally, a fucking good episode. Last week it was easily the worst episode of the series, this was a return to form. I really wish the first part of Miranjo's backstory with her mom was told better, it just felt awkward and placed in a chaotic episode. In a series where everyone is shades of grey, the villagers just feel one-dimensional. The story sadly still lacks tension, it's clear no one is going to die, all the good guys are alive and teaming up to stop Ouken, who ,sure, is immortal and strong, but also just a one guy. At least I'm pleased to see the show will have Miranjo's confront her crime (judging by the appearance of Bojji's mother), I thought they were going to sweep it under the rug. |
 |
| This episode was very good. The part of Kage and Miranjo and also the final part with the big four vs. Ouken. Let's see how the fight will continue. |
| Holy shit. This episode was so good. The music was phenomenal as well. |
 |
| Did... did god from this episode suggested that this whole Ranking of Kings was an invention of gods to control people? There are only 3 episodes left so I doubt they will develop and end this subplot this season. |

| Damn Ouken is so brutal. But just where did Miranjo exactly go? |

| awesome pure action of the BIG FOUR!!! 5/5. |
 |
| What's up with this 5min episode? In last episode, when Kage ate Ouken I was like yup I guess they won but nope, Ouken just pierced right through Kage. I screamed when Ouken pierced Bojji with his sword. Now I'm not sure if Miranjo is the bad guy or the good, in the previous episodes we are shown that Miranjo was bad but recent episodes tell me otherwise. She transferred her consciousness to something else and started healing Bojji, Kage and they all went into some after life thingy. The Miranjo that was with Daida also healed and vanished? We saw even more of the Miranjo back story and how Bosse went berserk killing villagers. I didn't understand what was that Houma shit and human vs god shit. Those 4 fighting Ouken was pure hype, I got fired up just watching them fight. Hated that cliffhanger, each one of them including Ouken became serious just then and the episode ended. 5/5 episode. Can't wait for next week. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| that fight was epic af |
| Damn it's shocking seeing child Miranjo like that. How can you be so heartless to, not only do that to a child but also laugh about it? It's disgusting. This show is honestly SO good, every episode makes more and more involved with the story and characters. I love it! |

| OPken back at it again |

| Damn Kage's moment on the Styx with his mother on the other side was really emotional, great storytelling |
 |
| Awesome episode!!! The whole episode was really cool and full of action! I'm glad that Kage didn't cross over to the other side. And I must say, the big 4 are pretty cool too!! Hyped to see the next episode!!! |
| Lmao Ouken's immortality is too unfair! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| sure the artstyle is simplistic but Wit GOATs so hard with the fighting animation again, really fluent and with POV shots and all |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| The whole scene of Kage crossing over to his mother was very emotional. Miranjo's & Bojji's mothers were over the other side as well.. The big 4 vs Ouken let's go!! |
| Ouken is such a cool villain. I mean, I may be a bit biased when it comes to immortality but I really do like him. I feel like he makes everything a lot more interesting. It's also kinda cool seeing an immortal villain after watching Fumetsu no Anata e where it's the main character who is immortal. |
| OωO |
| Talk about epic! Great battle between Big Four and Ouken |
| I do feel bad for Miranjo but that doesn't justify the things she has done. |
