| ok Kaname...can predict moves...badass..hmm |
 |
| I couldn't take this episode seriously after Koyasu Takehito went full Dio. Pretty bs Kaname didn't die after that gut punch, I mean it's anime but at least make an effort to make it somewhat believable. |
 |
| I had F/SN flashbacks lol. It seems his sigil is a kind of matter manipulation instead of simply ex nihilo creation or reality marble though, as the metaphor for it is a Blacksmith shaping molten steel. Another evidence for that was he actually changed the physical properties of the gun and bullets. It might look like it's a direct rip-off of ubw, but that level of control was unseen in Fate and it's pretty cool! |
 |
| Laughs in uncertainty principle. Nice try Laplace. Anyway pretty good episode. Not surprising that Plant man joined the squad - at least for now. At this rate doesn't look like MC will be killing ppl. |
| Writing is bad but it's still enjoyable. Also, that flashbang... The mc was holding it in his hand when it went off but he didn't get flashed. That's great... |
 |
LeSponge said: UNLIMITED BULLET WORKS!!! This is what i love from battle royale... battle, battle, battle... now lets see how this new clan can win the said event.. yeah lol UBW was my first thought too The whole time Kaname was monologuing, the only thing I was thinking about was Shirou |
| I miss the bat shit insaneness, lost and confusion, panic and fear, chased by a murderer, purely looking only to survive, the intensity that comes in a survival game like episode 1. It's shifting to like tactical warfare now........how to KO the opponent, etc., people even have motive to try and win the game than just focus on surviving.......... |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| So they need to coop so defeat that other dude on prev episode...still edgy.. 4/5. |
 |
| no appearance of the best girl meh |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| Man idc what anyone says, this show is straight fire. It constantly has me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what's coming next, afraid someone is going to die, etc. I absolutely love the characters, world and story rn and can't wait to see where it goes from here now that it looks like we got another member of the team. Need another Shuka appearance tho, been too long. |
 |
| The talk of Laplace's Demon just made me think of the much better Bunny Girl Senpai. Also, the Sigil system is ridiculously unbalanced. |
| So the guy has a shitty sigil that really everyone has with the cash shop, AND it exhausts him to use it a few times to make a couple things. Meanwhile plant guy can make an entire building of plants, AND manipulate a bunch of people AND make super armor AND not be exhausted from it. Sure, okay. Oh, guy that can buy stuff off the cash shop for free wins because he tried harder. 10% more gunpowder in the bullets makes them more effective than the grenade or something utterly retarded. Garbage tier. |
| bruh..this episode was boring af, I was thinking about dropping but I will give it one episode more :p |
| Every time MC uses his sigil I think about "Trace - On, Brain - Off" guy. |
| The opinions of people with shit taste, such as yourself, may differ of course. |
Ventus_S said: Lol this series is worse than I thought. Thought I can enjoy a good death game with people using wit/ knowledge, ended up being a typical shonen series with free power boost of mc on spot after a flashback. Time freeze, flashback, inner Chūni monologue, free power boost. Not to mention the plant guy attack can easily break floors and walls, yet after taking two direct hit from him, mc takes literally no damage, and instead break the walls behind him. He didn't wear any armours, his ability doesn't provide him any defense advantage yet his body can easily withstand blows that can crash floors and building, showing that his body is freaking way harder than walls/ bricks. (That punch alone is more powerful than bullets according to how easily he break concrete objects, normal human would turn into pieces when being hit directly w/o any form of protection, nice way to get a free 10000% boost in defense cuz mc plot armour) Remember this is not a fantasy world , and the mc is only an ordinary high school kid? There's no justification for any of this in this episode. Also I despise mc being the typical "holy man" mc. Yeah can't kill any enemies mc defeated, gotta forgive and cooperate with all of them despite they just killed like 20 people awhile ago. Am I actually watching Fairy Tail? Furthermore, if the plant guy has this degree of close combat power/ defense, there's literally 0 justification him never showing up in front of people and only use traps to defeat enemies. (From episode 3 info) Nice way to completely break a villain's setting and makes everything about him makes 0 sense. Guess this is just another entertaining trash series. Seriously I was originally thought this could be a decent 7 series, not anymore. This is like SAO but worse. Lmao, thank you. Glad someone else but me realized all the BS and called it out. And yeah I agree with you, it's very cliche with lots of plot holes and poor writing. It's only enjoyable if you turn off your brain and just watch it at a surface level without questioning anything. |
| So you are in a death game but decide to spare the life of your opponent that tried to kill you moments ago. What a saint. Even if there is the possibility of teaming up, how could you trust him? Also, it would have made more sense to make the proposal before exhausting each other. As people have noted, the game is hilariously imbalanced and there was an arbitrary power-up, but I didn't really expect anything less. |

Oh, guy that can buy stuff off the cash shop for free wins because he tried harder. 10% more gunpowder in the bullets makes them more effective than the grenade or something utterly retarded. Garbage tier. You nailed it. Also I failed to mention another illogical part which is the girl who can see through future by calculating. Just because she can read the future DOESN'T MEAN she can freaking dodge an on firing machine guns at close range dude. It's like people who can calculate perfect physic as to how to kick a soccer ball perfectly and reach the goal, but it doesn't mean their body can catch up with the actual motion. How the actual fuck she's able to dodge 3 machine guns at very close range just because she sees future makes absolutely 0 sense too. It's just another plot armour and plot convenience. If she uses a flash grenade or actual grenade as distraction and then future read her escape route it'd make much more sense, but no, she pulls up dodging multiple machine guns at close range unscratched.. |
| The best thing about this episode was listening to DIO Seriously this fight was total bullshit, I love how the Florist broke through walls yet when he punched Kaname he didn't even pass out lmao. I can't believe that Kaname tried to use multiple grenades and bullets to break through the tree armor with 0 results, and then the Florist was defeated simply by using bullets of increased power. This is so anticlimactic. Overall I think the writing is pretty bad but I'm just watching it for brainless fun |
| DIO is still alive xD |
 |
| Looks like it's Kaname and the acquainted Analyst girl Rein vs. The Florist. The game plan itself is kind of shitty NGL, a battle of wits, along with the thought that even in Darwin's Game itself, the last minute thing that the cash shop would be the saving grace. Along with Rein's special Sigil of Laplace's Demon, Kaname made it to the Florist's "lair". The fated battle between Kaname and the Florist...all he had was determination against the strong build and defense of the enemy. But with "sheer power" he overcame, but gave the Florist a one-off in deal of a group to evade and defeat the strong group of clans. If there's one thing that this episode excels is the pacing, better balanced than the rest so far. A renewed interest I'd have to say even if this anime slightly isn't on par with the manga counterpart, but a decent to good adaptation so far, a return to form. |

| I'm getting quite annoyed at his innability to kill on spot. |
| Expositional dialogue, plot armour, overdramaticisms, cookie cutter music, faux science, sensationalist setting, mediocre action, all those signs of a B-lister Don't we all need some of that in our lives sometimes? Fun episode |
| Woahh nice battle xD. |
  |
| Overall I'm enjoying this, but I have to say that the last three episodes have had a completely different feel than the first episode and I feel slightly betrayed? lured? clickbaited? dk what the word for it is. Regardless of the shonen-like vibes it's alright and been a fun watch. |
| Nice episode and cool that the florist is joining the team. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Damn, that was an awesome and intense episode. Though I still have no idea what the hell Sudo's actual Sigil is or what its capabilities are. It seems the Florist is dying (of a disease?) and that he wants to leave money for his daughter. And if the OP and ED is any indication, I think he's not going to survive this event because he's not with Sudo, Shuka or Rein. I think I need to prepare myself for the incoming feels. I wish there was more! It left on such a cliffhanger. Looks like an epic battle awaits us. |
 |
| I like Rein's sigil! That's awesome! The animation of fighting scenes is superb! |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| our protagonist look like an even though he isn't one... this is getting better and better by every episode just like Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious |
“You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin” . |
| This episode actually got me exited for the next episode! This was the best episode yet and I can’t wait for more! |
 |
| verrrrrrrry verrrrrry shonen episode. |
 |
| Well, I liked the fight but the five minute monologue was annoying and convenient. Still, the plot armor is still there, the bad guy can easily break walls and floors yet when he hit Kaname, it barely hurts. It makes less sense when the MC is more tired of using his ability instead of being hurt from a lethal hit like that lol |

| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Interesting little battle this episode. It's really starting to have a battle royale feel now, with formidable opponents like the Florist as well as the alliances. Definitely an action-heavy episode. So it's turning into a team deathmatch. Looks like Florist, the former enemy, will be joining both the MC and Rein. Getting shounen vibes here lol |
| Not only the villain has Giorno's powers and is voiced by Dio, but he also Kakyoins the protagonist, which activates Joseph's Tommy gun by the end of the episode, i'm more than satisfied |
| Damn this MC is a dumb ass. You couldn't product a flame thrower or weed killer? Plants have many weaknesses. Basically need a lobotomy to watch this crap. |
