No. No it didn't. She is completely broken at the moment.


being "broken" is not a justification for murder. or even attempted murder. and even discounting that, Hibiki was never "bullying" Akane in any shape or form. He never triggered her like an easily triggered snowflake SJW NPC in any way.


To be hones Akane was broken from episode 1 when she causally arranged for the death of her classmates for a minor accident. Sure it was death by Kaiju so her hands where not directly stained by blood, but their murder was all on her. She also killed most of the Idols she and Rikka met as well as tried to kill her teacher. Who knows how many others died during the Kaiju attacks but that nobody remembers? Most likely Akane is a psychopath, she is charismatic and cute but she is unable to understand others feelings or show empathy other than to manipulate. She shows no remorse for the people she has killed because thinking about anybody beside herself is an alien concept for her. That is why she could invite Yuta to dinner at the restaurant of the dead classmate without batting an eye. Her stabbing Yuta at the end of the episode was not out of character it was just her throwing off all pretense of civility as she was unable to kill him by Kaiju.

The show is kinda lackluster in terms of exploring characters, but it doesn't seemed to bad towards Gridman and his allies.

Hope the final two won't be rushed. Akane is sad btw.

Akane completely lost her mind now and Hibiki let his guard down

nah Anti can just predict the actions of the enemy since he can read the heart of Akane as he claims

That ending killed my soul, dood. I wanna like Akane so bad but they're making it hard.

This anime also keeps getting better and better. Can't wait to see what they do after akane has killed the plot.

Lol are you really asking this question after 10 episodes? I assume you may have not paid much attention then.

They are as dead as NPCs it doesn't matter if they get killed or not, it would depend solely on Akane if they live or not

@Skyguardian

lol, I'm amazed by the amount of people that probably paid more attention to a plane crash while watching Gridman to miss these details. Is that, or they just want to hate for the sake of hating

Music and animation this episode were great. That 2nd fight was just outstanding.
A cliffhanger, huh? Tbh I expect some twist here - I doubt she stabbed him just to kill. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned into some "leaving this world" or some other "deep" development.

So they didn't show it huh. well I kinda thought atleast there should be people screaming or running for their lives like "nani? kaiju? "bakemonooo" "nigeroooo" something like that.

Hmm... This is odd, to be fair I actually liked this Episode, oh well, too late for that now, only two Episodes left. I'm interested in what happens next, more than the other reason I've watched this show. (Thighs, memes, PLOT)

Great ending. I was already a bit confused about the whole situation. You know those shows right? The bad guy knows who the good guy is but he is waiting for him to transform. God forbid that a bad guy gonna attack him when our good guy is not expecting this.

Akane is a god in this city so she should already take care of Yuuta. She tried to get him on her side, then tried to manipulate him through his dream and now finally she went for one last resort. To stab him.

+1 for this. Refreshing!

I still do not care about Anti.

This episode was beyond EPIC HYPE!!!
w0w, the sound effects are insanely surreal with that fight with that Abnormal Kaiju!
Gridknight is so much more awesome and badass than gridman!
You never mess with a Yandere with a knife! you get stabbed, you get killed! you get death!
5/5.

Damn, that stab was so unexpected! It's almost laughable how Akane was creating Kaijus during 10 eps. to kill Gridman just to end up stabbing Yuuta in such simple manner...

But that aside, it was a nice episode, I really liked it. Those two Kaijus were creepy as fuck, especially with the noises they were making. Glad they both were defeated. And not to mention that the moment when Anti became Gridknight was great.

Uhm, I guess Yuuta will survive somehow so I'm looking forward to seeing what he and co. will do after such dramatic ending.

This show's getting more and more NGEesque.

"God's in his heaven - All's right with the world"

I've genuinely no idea how any of this unravels from here, but everything is finally starting to click into place. Great episode once again.

All that effort trying to kill Gridman, and all Akane had to do was stab Yuuta. So why the fuck didn't she do that when she uncovered Yuuta's identity roughly 5 episodes ago?

let's go to the main bosses base which is, by the way, the house next door. the scene was so intense it makes me laugh. this episode resembles evangelion. that scene with the rain and sad song, as well as the "crazy" monster. btw that ending.
if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that.

Dear God, I was not expecting something like this, just wowing right now. I mean, what else would the do now? Unless the personality complex Kaiju replaces him, it seemed too great of a loss to me.
This was an amazing episode fight-wise, second best episode for sure.

damn akane is one twisted brainwashed diva looking for blood, best to stay away from her, she kills without batting a eye, the kid deserved to be stabbed due to his naivety.

The second half of the show is apt at balancing mindscrew and epic kaijuu battles, and this episode with the troll kaijuu and the box-cutter didn't disappoint.

Hoping Trigger can keep this up until the very end.

God's in his heaven all's right with the world


This one quote defined the entire episode. Akane's in a real downward spiral here, she's stopped caring about living in the world she created. Thus her new kaiju's true form went straight for the custodian kaiju... she doesn't care about resetting anymore. RIP Yuta, first person she directly tried to kill

Lol though that little detail we got so long ago where Akane and Rikka live really close to each other, and suddenly you realize the final boss lives like 5 feet from their base.

I know they mentioned before that Rikka and Akane are neighbors, but seeing them just walk to Akane's house which is literally right next to Rikka's house was fucking hilarious.

Eyy Gridknight is pretty fucking cool, good shit Anti. Did not expect that stabby stab though, Akane is even more broken now, she don't give a fuck anymore.

Best episode so far! That kaiju's second form was unexpected and the animation was great! Anti and Akane continue to carry the show in terms of character and development:

-Once Anti was able to accept the he's more than a kaiju he was able to copy gridman completely and throw his old kaiju form! Brilliant!

-Akane continues to fall into dispair deep enough to destroying her own city! She was driven into a corner to the point where she can't act like a god anymore and stabbed yuta!

Can't wait for the last two episodes!

Yuuta was begging for that. These gullible idiots should stop with the baseless assumption that Akane is some misunderstood angel being "controlled" by aliens and just come to terms with the reality that she was always a psychotic bitch who would gladly kill those she doesn't like when the urge strikes, as Yuuta just discovered. Did he develop a case of selective amnesia and forget what Akane did to Tonkawa and the Arcadia boy group?
