| That lunch box is the kind of breakthrough invention we need. xD A lot slower paced than usual for this show but good episode nonetheless. Curious about the background of the kids. Hacker, I wonder if he made it. :( Cliffhanger ending was epic, I never expected the captain dude to find them so fast after his injuries. Next episode is gonna be lit. |
 |
| I think Brawler will leave in the next episode. Hell, I think that in the next six episodes most characters will leave and only Swindler and Courier will remain...until the magnificent Akudama reunion in the final episode, or something like that. |
| Swindler's character is really growing on me. And interesting lunch box! Though no soups allowed hhahahha It's kinda disappointing to see Hacker leave the group but I am positive that he will rejoin the group at the most critical situation in the end. The kids though at first seemed to be like robots or AI as it was implied that there is this "professor" or something that took care of them. I was surprised though to see them tremble in fear like that when intimidated by the Doc. Thus, they might be really humans or half humans. Anyway, strong episode despite the slow pacing. Looking forward to more hunting considering that all executioners will join the search. |

| why did it take me 5 episodes to notice Courier has a prosthetic arm Welp Hacker's gone, here's hoping Swindler can give him his drone back. I really like how she seems to genuinely care about her Akudama friends (can't blame her though, who wouldn't love this insane band of psychos). The scene with the Boss Lady talking to Kanto? higher ups reminded me of Evangelion. Hyped for the showdown between Brawler & Shishou next week! |
 |
| Swindler and Courier get closer, I don't want they have a special feeling for each other Also, I agree with Doctor-san that Swindler just pretend innocent |

As long as Hoodlum ends up as the overall winner I don't give a fuck about the order. |
| damnn , every episodes of this anime is fucking awesome !!! 8,5/10 |
| Well, I definitely don't think that's the last time we will see Hacker in the show. It was a nice episode. And that cliff-hanger though. Can't wait for more action next week. Seeing that Brawler vs. Executioner in the preview got me a bit hyped up tbh. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| Weirdly wholesome episode, I love it. But, this was definitely the calm before the storm. On another note this episode went by so fast for me, I was like "What!" when Master appeared and the credits rolled. I hope we get to see hacker again if he survived, I guess it's 50/50 but there's no way that they just offed him like that. A lot of build up this episode and now I am very afraid, I have become attached with these characters. And I need that lunch box please. That preview for the next episode was hype as fuck though, but Brawler will probably die. He has already escaped death multiple times but, if he's gonna die he better go out with a bang. |
 |
| Good anime so far. The concept was almost La casa de papel, fighting the Rocket Team and which employer was N / L from Death Note. |
| The Hacker part ways with the group, but the job is not finished yet. They have to escort the pair of children to Echo Park in Kansai. The only problem is that all the executioners are after them this time. |

He will either die spectacularly or back to the police hq. :P |
| I'm sure Hacker will come back when they'll need him the most. Courier looked cute when he was eating XD So, Swindler is aware that what she did is the most dumbest thing a person would ever do...who goes to such lengths just to return ¥500 :-| I want that lunchbox 🤤 |
| Ok what's with that lunchbox... and I hate swindler, please stop being so kind and pacifistic, that doesn't suit your world anymore. |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |

| If "Master" was able to track down the Akudama it's possible he knows about the 2 Children's backstory and destination hmmmmm.... |
| I found the Doctor right to ask who are these kids and what purpose, you can't expect them to especially her to risk her life without knowing the full story, swindler is probably gonna end up annoying me with the goody two shoes behavior these guys are a bunch of crazy peeps they aren't a band of friends y'know she does know that right lol the characters needs some work tho in my opinion brawler is way too dumb like I get it you like to fight but fam you are just way too dumb it's gonna get annoying seeing his dialogues, cutthroat is only interesting when he fights besides that he acts like a child most of the time people seem to be into that I find it meh he definitely ain't no Suzuya Juzyou from Tokyo ghoul that's for sure, Doctor seems crazy but has a brain in her skull if she wasn't dressing like a hooker she'd be the best character in this show and courier is just boring nice design but boring at least he loves his bike, hacker also was pretty cool as a character showed intelligence and skill all while being crazy as well but yeah I still think knowing what job you are doing is good |
 |
| I wonder if Hacker would be alive in the very end. Brawler will finally have the match that he's wanting. Slower paced ep which builds up the story. |
 |
| Alright I watched episode 5 and I think I can make a sensible prediction of how the story will go just based on cliche and trope. 1. There must be something dark secret that happened during the Kanto and Kansai war and those 2 children have the key or the answer to that question, maybe the professor is the eye-witness of the crime? and they told the children to run away and expose the truth or something. I don't know how many characters will die, the biggest possibilities I can think of are 2. Cutthroat gonna die quick protecting Swindler or something and dying the same way as he kills his victim, getting sliced on the neck. 3. The Doctor probably gonna die of injuries that are too fatal for her to heal. 4. Hoodlum gonna die somewhat "heroic" way saving Brawler and Brawler thinking he is the greatest criminal out there. 5. Brawler gonna die fighting someone he deems stronger than him. 6. Idk how Hacker gonna go but probably by self-destructing a machine and killing himself with it because it needs to be hacked from inside or something. while Courrier probably gonna survive or apprehended at the end but he has a very low chance of dying. 7. The final villain will probably be the Kanto government?? or someone behind those digital masks. 8. Those two executioners will definitely join the group later on after learning the truth or something. 9. Swindler gonna get captured and Courrier will release her and there will be a bike scene just the two of them. She will also probably apprehended at the end of the story but only face a few years of jail time because she is only a hostage or something. This is basically just more flashy and edgy Zankyou no Terror. I am gonna come back to this comment when the show is done and see how accurate I am. |

a Star Trek replicator or molecular assembler? lol but only for food though but thats still cool  |
| A light-hearted episode. Still greatly executed. Swindler, best girl for sure. Also, Akudama seems to be on everyone's hit-list now. Hyped for the next episode. Btw that lunchbox was awesome. |
 |
| Why. why, why, why, why, WHY. Why does Swindler stand up for the kids/against any answers for who they are? She shouldn't even be here in the first place and she's not curious at all for their motives?God she is such an ANNOYING character to follow. The rest of the crew that buys her bullshit has literal sand for brains. |

| Swindler best mom. I want that bento box, no... I NEED that bento box. |
 |
| Hacker decided to separate by his own freewill! looks like the Executioner guy defied suspension orders and is set-out to hunt the Akudamas! 5/5. that lunch box is kind of like a god hack taboo item! |

| Man, I feel sorry for Swindler. She just got dragged into this whole mess. XD Too bad she got a huge bounty on her head. Too bad Hacker went his own way. I wonder if he will ever get back. Now all the executioners are after them. |
 |
| So it's a goodbye to hacker, anyway the Seven Akudama is in big danger but I hope they survive. Well this guy is back again gonna fight them all looking forward to it. |
 |
| Waaaaaa! Talk about hyping up the story and mystery. Most excellent episode and damn the banter between characters is top notch. |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Okay the kids seems to be artificial judging from the shark tv show since the bunny said the Kyushu plant literally make anything, seems like their tech is really top tier. I wonder if Hacker died by now or still alive somehow. Gorilla Jokes never gets old.  |
Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I wonder how much trust can be put into certain characters in this show... Well, we got a setting that seems isolated from the main city at the Abanoned Ward 3. Feels like the episode is more aimed at showing the different side of this anime. Looks like out of main cast has bounty placed on their heads and that spells danger for them. Damn. This is an original show. How can there be any manga? |
 |
| I just love the interaction between each character and their dynamics. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I dont like the heroine, she seems to develop stockholm syndrome and only gets dragged everywhere. Also she's loud and shoves her reasoning to every other's faces. |
 |
| Its sad Hacker is leaving the team, we're going to miss him. Death flags to the Master Executioner and Brawler? |
| 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 |
| Damn I'm sad that Hacker is gone and probably dead now, he was one of my favorite characters. I really hope this show doesn't start falling into the Danganronpa trope of only focusing on characters right before they're about to die. |
Doctor suspects Ordinary Person is faking her personality, and Ordinary Person somewhat slips up during this conversation with Courier  so curious as to whether or not she really faking her personality and her innocence in all of this. |
| Someone's gonna die next episode... |
| I wonder if the hacker is still alive or he's dead Tch, the Execution Division has found Akudama, they quickly found Akudama |
 |
| Every episode of this anime is fucking great 7/10 |
 |
| I didn't think we would see a character leaving the mission before it ended. Even if it is temporarily. Brawler draws the line at bullying! There are way more executioners out there than I realised. They probably should've sent more guys after the Akudama if they had that many. Of course the Master easily finds them... |
 |
| No Fights in this episode... Didn't expect that hacker would stay behind and go to Kanto.. Damn!! That bento box is very useful!!! |
