| Last week it was Enta, and this week it's Toi's brother, this trio knows no chill. Crazy how everyone is connected no matter how you look at it, I'm sure the play of words of “I want to be connected” that's scattered all over the episodes was there for a reason. |
| I had a feeling that Toi's brother was going to die. I had that feeling especially after last week's episode. It was nice to see some flashbacks to when they were younger. I'm pretty sure everyone knew that Enta wasn't going to die. He was pooped out as a kappa and probably will still find a way to live again. I'm not sure if the plates are strong enough to bring back someone so it's either Enta or Toi's brother but I'm sure it's going to be Enta. Mabu is cheating on Reo with Otter Reo. lol |
| 臭い- |
| IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE Well that's a wild episode. Im so sad for Toi's brother death, i haven't cried in awhile. I wonder how they will save Enta... Ok that shitty Otter better stop messing Reo's mind. |
| Easily my favorite episode so far. I started crying at the end. I loved it wow. And it was even interesting before that, especially with it setting up Kazu realizing how much Enta loves him and understanding his jealousy, the jealousy that the person who saved him is leaving him behind. He engaged him, told him it was his business quite endearingly and will fight for him. It also paired that up, Enta on a ticking time bomb alongside Reo who wants to save Mabu, only one wish will be granted and they will need to steal those dishes from the cops. A lot was going on and all of it was quite emotional and high stakes, in fact I really like the main trio of this anime. Enta for his young uncontrollable emotions and cuteness, Kazu for his nuanced feelings with his guilt and the confliction he once had and how genki he is, and of course Toi for his two layered personality where he tries to be hard but is a sweet boy, and the past that led to this with his troubling relationship with Chikai. So, I'll mostly focus on the Toi relationship with Chikai. Toi showed that he would leave Enta behind for his brother firstly. He decided it when he saw the news of his fate, and I think they need all three for a Sarazanmai! Then, we met the adorable, nice 14 year old Masa who had nothing but good things to say. He was so happy, and because Chikai was abandoning his gang for his own safety, he shoots this kid right after Toi was happy to get to meet him. A child, that's a way to set up just how low Chikai will go without hesitation! Toi is in outrage he can't believe it, and while shock is going through his head over the kind of person his brother truly is, Chikai gets confronted by the rest of the gang. In this moment Toi cries but clearly reasons what he later says, that it doesn't matter if he's rotten to the core, he's his brother and he has to continue fighting for him, he lives for him after all. So, Toi will leave behind his 'false' connections like Enta and Kazu, tolerate Chikai killing his gang, one of which is a child, and even join him in killing so they can escape. But it was too late, the weak die so you have to use other people, you only live once, but you burn enough people you're going to get fried too. Fate came to Chikai, he was kinda asking for it the way he lived. I guess if you're too good you die but if you're too bad you die too, huh? In fact, if only you had a strong group of connections, maybe they'll fight through everything with you, it's a shame his past led him to think so radically. The final moments where he pulled the second gun on Toi were powerful, I wasn't sure if he'd shoot but I don't think he could have. He did keep a picture of him this whole time.. To go Devilman Crybaby style and give a post credits montage was the icing on top. I didn't care about Chikai outside of enjoying his stylish looks, great voice acting, and pessimistic outlook on life. However, I cared about seeing how much it put Toi through and how he still accepted and fought for him, especially with it all being for nothing... So, as people have suggested, Toi has killed probably totally killed for sure now, and his brother is dead! He couldn't even keep the blood money which led to his demise, it represents why he's dead now and everything leading up to it, he tossed it. He's not going to be mentally stable, there is no way he wouldn't want to save his brother with a wish, so if it doesn't go into a three way wish battle I'll be surprised. It has to at least touch on it, and just earlier we saw how he wasn't going back to save Enta so he does ultimately hold Chikai first.. |
| Oh shit, Toi's brother is dead. RIP. Good episode, can't wait for the next. |

| This episode go way beyond emotional! 5/5. T___T |
 |
| To be quite honest, it seems obvious Masa talking so much about the fact Toi was actually the one who was guilty of the murders - Chikai tells him to 'shut up, remember it was ME' - it seems the reason he probably wouldn't let him go is because he was so chatty about things that involved his little brother. Then we have the reason Chikai pulls a gun on Toi. He pulls a gun on Toi because he sees Toi shooting again. It's probably to scare him off. Obviously Chikai is a person who is Willing to do those things, regardless of Why he did those things, but I think its clear he cares about Toi through all of them. |
| So it looks like each person in the opening that appears next to each corresponding boy has the death flag, holy shit. |
  |
| Chikai dying was more expected than Enta being shot. I feel bad for Toi for losing the only connection he had left but I never liked the guy, being honest. So I'm somewhat happy he's gone. Good episode in general although the transition from sad sequence with Kazuki at the hospital to comic scene with Enta appearing as a kappa was a bit too awkward for my taste. P.S.: "Lionel"... Kappa?... and being represented as a brazilian football player... eh, I don't know if the name was intentional but as an argentinian, I don't know how to feel about that... |
| It just keeps getting better and better, a truly great episode, loved the directing |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Great episode with some wonderful direction! Sad to see Chikai-onii pass away like this! Got to feel for Toi here, things just keep getting worse for him by the episode and this just takes the icing on the cake. Meanwhile, Enta is back in Kappa form and Keppi too and now they prepare for the ultimate battle. On the other hand, their oppositions appears to be in disarray but the Otters definitely have something nasty in mind. Can’t wait to see how this showdown goes! How evenly poised that both sides need just one more Dish and I’m really curious as to what exactly is Sara’s role here. By the way, more real-life additions with the river water scene. I love the ED because of it and it’s great to see more of such usage! Looking forward to the two final episodes! Here’s to hoping it leaves in a bang! |

| Feeling sad for Kuji for losing his brother, but his brother was already to deep in to the underworld to live a normal life The animation was really highquality at the death scene |
 |
| This episode hit me like a truck that hit Keppi. Here I was thinking that Chikai should die in episode 8, yet he did only here. That's only expected for who he was though. In the end, it was him who failed to express his willingness to connect (as is said in the episode's name). According to the flashback, Tooi seems to have found young Nyantarou in the street. wow. That ED with 2 shadows is still bothering me, is it still referring to Enta? As for Reo and Mabu, I really love how the entire scene actually represents the desire/love dichotomy (otter Reo is desire, real Reo is love); the fact is, now it's Reo and Mabu who are facing the choice they were forcing others to do previously. Also I should note that this episode seems to have the most debates around it (so many huge posts in this thread). Looks like not everybody understands Chikai's last moments with Tooi (pointing a gun) the same way. |
| I like how chikai's death death broke away from the norm for anime deaths. And the whole last scene was amazingly done. |
