But if i did i would protect myself but i wouldn't try to kill the guy, i have had someone break into my house before and i have been mugged neither time did i attempt to kill the person that would be wrong. in those situations you defend yourself and restrain the person or run if you have no other option killing is valid but even then it's the worst thing you can do certainly not the first choice anyone would make. It's the same reason as why most people are against the death penalty even for murderers, killing isn't right and should be the last option for when your hand is forced. Even then knowing that logistically humans are emotional creatures put into a situation where you must do something awful like killing many people would refuse to do so or would do so and then regret it, not that that's the right move as it's not but pretending people would kill someone trying to kill them and not freeze or feel remorse afterwards is well silly not everyone works like that. when it comes to it people act differently and in the mc's situation when put into that situation he probably would kill metro he is facing a theoretical situation in his head he isn't in a life or death situation so he can think without fear and because of that he takes his beliefs into account. Like no shit in the theoretical situation he would freeze up. To deny using the gun goes against Human instinct of self preservation thus unrelatable. Hence your questions validity is silly your applying the mind of the average person to someone who is depressed. I would use the gun but i wouldn't try to kill them granted using a gun you likely would. Human instinct of self preservation does exist yeah but peoples beliefs impact that instinct and not every human has the same level of self preservation personally i have put myself into quite a few life threatening situations to help others back during my teenage years when dealing with bullying and pavement smashing at my highschool which sent many people to hospital, whilst many wouldn't so i can say my self preservation instinct isn't as strong as most peoples. Your question assumes the MC has the same self preservation which well he is DEPRESSED people with depression generally have a lower level of self preseration or a lack of it so no shit the mc's beliefs will come first. Hence why it makes sense, it's ok to dislike it but the writing of his character makes a ton of sense. Also there is a reason why most people regret killing in self defence even if you end up doing it no one wants to kill someone to save others or themselves what makes us do it is our self preservation instinct. If that is lowered or missing then you get people like me or at worst someone like the MC who can't even consider it because he lacks it. IMO that doesn't make him a pussy but if you think it does that's fair we are all welcome to our opinions and you probably don't relate to the dude. |
| LMAO. Can't believe Mukaidou became the freaking Doom guy at the end. So yeah... this episode was bad. Incredible how this show goes more and more downhill with each new week. This Mimimi girl is so cringe and annoying asf and for fuck's sake, I'm really getting sick of Mirai's passiveness. Having Mukaidou acting like a discount Kiritsugu was somewhat "entertaining" tho. |

Maybe the show will get better with time, but I'm having serious doubts. This might be shocking to you, but gay characters, just like all other character, can be evil. It's not I think that gay people can't be villains, it's just annoying when the *only* gay character(s) in a show is/are just shallow, crazy, and evil. It's lazy writing shorthand used in order to make a character seem strange and other. Who knows, maybe I'll be proved wrong in coming episodes and this character will get some actual development and act like a person instead of a stereotype, or maybe another better-written gay character will come along, but I'm having serious doubts about that happening. It's incredibly disappointing to see this kind of lazy writing from the guy who made something as well-crafted as Death Note. |

Yeah i have been in love i wanted to marry the person i loved and felt happy around them but i also wanted to kill myself they were the only reason i didn't because i was dating them and i didn't want to hurt them. So uh.......yeah you can be in love and suicidal and wanting to die the two aren't mutually exclusive. Depression and being suicidal is due to a chemical imbalance that chemical imbalance doesn't stop you from being able to love. it's normal suicidal people still love others |

| pathetic mindset Kakehashi has! BOO!!! Mukaido should at least the deserving to be MC role instead! 3/5. |
 |
| This borderline feels like a math lesson at times. He has 3 arrows, so if he gives her 2 arrows, he'll have one arrow left, not including his white arrows. Oh he also has wings It would be preferable of course if Saki could survive through all this, but she needs to die to give Mirai here some motivation to fight. It doesn't have to be Saki, just make SOMETHING happen to get Mirai out of this depressed mindset. It feels like if metropoliman really was about to kill Saki, Mirai would probably just stand by and watch. And cry. I get him not wanting to murder people himself, but if I wasn't hallucinating, he wanted to save mimimi, the psycho serial killer girl. He was like "I hope metropoliman shows up so that Mukaido doesn't kill her! It's wrong to kill people!!!" Me: ........... Mr. Mukaido meanwhile over here has turned into fat master chief. With armor that thick he probably survived that explosion, I hope. He better have survived because otherwise all we'd be left with is Mirai and this guy is probably not going to do anything I keep forgetting that the op kinda slaps though. The ed slaps even harder |

| My mood for this show since episode 3 is like *facepalm* I haven't watched an anime since Devils Line where both main characters are this dumb.. I mean don't get me wrong, I like pure and too nice main characters but Mirai and Saki are just too cliche and stupid.. And I hope they didn't kill the only logical and good character on the show (I'm guessing his angel is going to save him..) Pls don't kill Mukaidou, him and Revel are literally the only good characters. This anime is sometimes very childish and sometimes very adult oriented. Pacing is very good but the logic is very bad. I have very mixed feelings.. |

tubdragon said: this anime really getting bad. Either MC become smart to find ways to end this without killing no one or start killing. He just doesn't want to do anything. Later, if they changed MC so that he will kill, all these starting episodes will be just meaningless. Episodes are being wasted on whether to take some action against metropoliman or not. All characters almost are equivalent to some Death note characters but not the least bit interesting. Dropping it here. Maybe revisit if MC became a bit smart or motivated. Yeah, it is getting quite stale... like it is all the same stuff again and again, but while I also quite hate MC and his personality (if you can call that a personality) I think that if they were to change MC or something along that way it would just be totally shit show... anyway what I think is gonna happen is that MC is gonna be shot by the red arrow or something and since he is unreal pacifist he will somehow resist the arrow kinda like the detective has resisted. But hey I totally get why you would drop it. |
| A lot of time I don't mind those kind of MCs they can be endearing or you can understand them because they are young and in a difficult situation but even Mirai is too much for me. He needs to get a grip this is a life-or-death situation, people are getting killed or controlled you can't just be like "doing bad things is bad" while someone is actually trying to help. It's easy to say this in your girlfriend's room while watching the tv. I think victims and their families already know killing is bad maybe you can actually do something instead of just letting things happen. Mukaidou should have been the MC and now he's probably dead god damnit. x) |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| All I have to say is that the "plot" goes intricate, and Metropoliman is just a freak at this point. It's edgy for the same reasons as edgelord cases. Just when I thought that Mukaido can lead both Mirai, Saki and their respective Angels out of this bandwagon to eliminate Metropoliman first before he wreaks any more havoc, he goes ham AT THE VERY LAST INSTANCE. The bigger sin is Mirai not accepting that in the sight of all this he decides to be the bullied than the bully, Mirai simply being a spineless pacifist just makes his character more irredeemable. It's kill or be killed. Mukaido really thought things through from the influence of his Angel of Knowledge Baret, even going so far as to arm themselves to fight for justice against the other God candidates (but mainly Metropoliman for now) and their human influencers like the seria killer Girl A Mimimi "Misurin" Yamada courting death. The frontal attack at the Grand Tower and donning suits that are able to protect the wearers from harm, Mukaido is making his candidacy worthwhile. Though how he got killed in action, sure didn't see that coming. |

| wa wa i don't want to kill people because i'm a whiny little pissbaby -mirai |
| Oh man Yandere girl yuri scene was kinda hot lol So now we now the Yandere girl was control by Metropoliman. I can definitely seeing Light Yagami in Metropoliman. I can understand now why people hate the MC, he just too naive. It's getting more annoying each episode ngl. Bruhh they always did this kind of cliffhanger, there is no way Mukaido didn't survived. Man literally wearing a Plot Armor lmao |

Neaow said: So I read other comments in here, and now I know I should 100% drop this...I am a huge P.A Works guy but what the heck is one their latest release, it's just so plain and boring I couldn't even stand it for 3-4 episode, thuis what has anime industry came to. Understandable, have a nice day 👍 |

B2004x said: Although is not as nearly as good as death note, i still think this series is a decent one.I think the problem with this series it that the author try so hard just to make this a high iq anime like death note that is beacame very annoying (in my opinion) athough the cliffhanger was actually very good . Judeging from the manga score i suggest you guys not having high hope in this anime. Watch is normally so you guy wont get dissapoint or mad at the ending(sr for my bad english) Yeah for sure, I'm always set my expectations low. |

| Great episode! That Yandere middle school girl who’s into yuri is pretty creepy. She named her shots with the red arrows as well xD. We also got to finally see Mirai in his suit which looked pretty cool. Mukaido has been hit in an explosion. Hope he’s ok (well since o read the manga I already know lol) Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| A middle school aged serial killer huh damm thats creepy. And even more so with the gear of the angels as well. Her taste for girls her age as well makes her even more despicable as well. Still the kind of hesitation that Mirei has really is severe. Borrowing from the SDF though is one hell of a escalation though. Still I don't think anyone would have suspected that Metro would use the whole building as a bomb to kill anyone that does show up though. Overall an interesting ep that managed to up the complexity of the series via the intro of the serial killer and combine that with Metro's own cunning to make the fight even more higher staked than before. It looks to me that Mirai would have to overcome his sense of hesitation before he can proceed along his chosen path. |

| Well, the intro certainly took me by surprise. The yuri make-out scene with the yandere girl, which went further with some BDSM, was very interesting, especially the fact that Metropoliman controls her and is using her to bait out the other god candidates. Mukaido and his plan to counter Metropoliman did sound good and does make me like him as a character and the lengths he'll go to protect the people he loves. Mirai, on the other hand, lacks that likability so far and I don't see that changing anytime soon. However, the cliffhanger at the end was pretty well done, so I do look forward to seeing if Mukaido survived that attack or not. |
DKDiabloLicht said: Ashhk said: The yandere middle schooler girl working for Metropoliman just wants her yuri sex moment before killing her victims... I'm starting to get pissed off by MC's personality to be honest, it would be way more interesting if he was thinking at least a bit like Mukaido... anyway it seems like their assault against the yuri girl was just a planned trap by Metropoliman with that explosion cliffhanger, I have no idea if they'll make him die now or not THIS. Jesus man, I get under normal circumstances not wanting to kill, but this dude is a killer, and the girl is a SERIAL killer who both want to KILL YOU. He is the most Beta male weak willed character (to me, if other people like him cool, but I'd be surprised if anyone really likes his character) and I was REALLY hoping for him to start to come to terms with his situation and realize it's kill or be killed. But he's still holding on to this grade school mentality, you'd think since he's a Simp for Saki that he'd at least be okay with killing M-man if she was about to die, right?! Ugh 😩🤦🏼 Especially when you compared it to what they previously did with Light's personality and how it fitted the atmosphere, now you have something similar but with MC's personality being the exact contrary, it's just so frustrating |

I'm sure people will defend this character and I love heroic characters but I need characters who have some balls, strength (physically and mentally) and who get shit done. Hopefully (🙏🤞) after what happened in this episode he wakes up. Because if he keeps this weak mindset and unwillingness to do what needs to be done(outside of some magnificent out of left field writing) he's going to get smoked. And before he gets smoked, Saki is going to get smoked right in front of him. At least that's how I'd see it if this guy stays the same for the next 6 episodes realistically. I didn't read the manga so I'm not sure but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets trapped and manipulated by someone else soon, like Saki betraying him to survive etc, that's how his weak behavior we'll turn against him I think |

| will the mc ever grow a pair? my own way of thinking is irrelevant, when even the show calls out how bitchmade he is. |
