Felt pretty bad for Hoodlum. R.I.P Hoodlum. As for the Doctor, she did really horrible things just to complete her one fantasy. Poor Brawler died out of blood loss.

I'm glad that executioner boss said that all members in headquarters were just office workers so that explains why Cutthroat was able to kill them so easily.

But still disappointed that eyepatch executioners new partners is just wimp when i saw him in opening i hoped he was same tier as masked executioner

hoodlum and doctor die in a flash! Honestly, couldn't care less about both of them. Another good episode two more to go.

That was a tense episode! The Executioner boss is such a hypocrite; how can you order the people you protect to be killed and then still call the Akudama evil?

Then that station scene was on a whole other level of tense! I can't believe Doctor actually killed Brawler, the bitch! I'm glad that Hoodlum got revenge for him but I wish he hadn't died in the process too.

Only 2 Akudama left, maybe 3 if Hacker is alive, which I'm guessing is highly likely after the Shinkansen opened to all the citizens.

Though I give this anime no less than a 7 (maaybe 7.5/10), I don't know how does it manage to be so infuriating. First they go with glorifying crime. Why the fuck would the Brother say "To me, you're the Akudama"? Fucker, there is no point of comparison between the Akudama and the Executioners.

Second, why would the Chief of the Executioners declare all rioters as Akudama? That's only making things worse, by sending the people into a worse state of frenzy, now that everyone is a criminal and so they can no longer receive protection from the law enforcement organizations. Also, as we saw, that undermines the police and executioners' efforts to stop the Akudama, by using their resources to suppress the riots instead. In my opinion, the best wasy to deal with the problem would be to execute all Akudamans currently imprisoned, as to calm the peoplé's mood for a bit. After all, aren't executions already big publicized shows in this world? God, how can they be so stupid?

Third, why the fuck did the Apprentice hesitate when she was to execute Swindler? Fuck, it's her job and duty to do exactly that.

Well, well... At least they got rid of Doctor. What an asshole s(he) was. Good riddance, for sure. Hoodlum was also rekt'd in this episode. So far we've got 4 SSSS Akudama eliminated.

If I was to theorize, I'd say the people will riot againt the executioners now that everyone is an Akudama, and so they propably could go to the real Akudamas for protection. Anyway, it's sure that the Executioners won't go unharmed in the remainder of the series. Now that I speak about the remainder, there are some things that I would like to be explained. What's Kanto, exactly? What caused the war? Are any higher powers behind all this? Who needs the Children? What was the organization that made them, was it the factory? But there arer only 2 episodes left, so I suppose some of those questions will remain unsolved.

Damn, insane episode. In fact I could say that same line for every episode so far. Swindler continuing to be one of my most favorite characters this season. R.I.P. Hoodlum, you died like a man brother. I am sure Brawler is smiling somewhere. While Rest In Pain to you Doctor, I gotta admit though she was a great character but, an even greater bitch. Get stepped on.

Well, it's only Courier and Swindler left though Hacker could still be alive. Also have respect for apprentice turned master executioner girl, she has heart and realized Swindler wasn't bad. Well, looking forward to Kanto.

Yeah that's what I assume too. I really hope he is alive because he's a cool character but he didn't get much screen time (obviously)

Everyone hating the doctor... She's the real akudama, the others are just playing akudama game. Fooling the other akudamas and the government to get your name out of akudama list, then you can control everything. Big brain times. Her death was horrible tho... She's still one my favs charas in the show tbh

What a tense episode, Rest in Piece Hoodlum you got revenge for what Doctor did.

Looks like we will see what happens on the Shinkansen once again. I wonder why it picked up the citizens. Welp looks like Courier and Swindler is going to have to try to get Brother out. I wonder where Hacker is.

Nooooo not Hoodlum omg. Well at least in his final moment he really was the biggest bad-ass ever oof when he stabbed Doctor in the neck, that was the best moment of the whole anime so far I swear, and then when the crowd stepped on her yes!! bitch really had it coming. I just hope she will stay dead.

Hoodlum goes out in a final act that he himself decided. Rest in peace bro.

Doctor on the other hand, is crushed by those she desperately wished to control. A bit ironic.

Other than that, it really felt that not much else happened. I am curious if the cute Executioner is going to join with the Akudama, or if she'll continue to fight them.

It looks like in the penultimate episode next week, we'll be seeing the truth behind the Shinkansen and Kanto.

Really loved how that bitchass doctor died, she deserved it. Though I feel sad for Hoodlum...

Who are those two who were ordered by the boss to kill everyone?

That voice in the preview sounded like Hacker, I guess he might show up in the next episode.

I'm guessing Hacker will return in the next episode, can't imagine his character is just going to end by disappearing on the train when they separated several eps back. No doubt give Courier and Swindler a helping hand. She got to give that robot thing back to him anyway right? :)

I like how Doctor's demise was caused by Hoodlum, her own techniques and finally trampled to death by a lot of people. She deserved what she did (looks like she even caused Brawler's death too). Hoodlum avenged him, RIP. Double kill.

this was such an intense episode, its been a while since ive genuinely hated a villain like this. fuck it im glad shes dead lmfao

im so proud of hoodlum, fighting back even though it got him killed.

the citizens being declared akudama for rioting is so cruel but also very topical isnt it? at first i thought it was unrealistic then i thought back on this last year and... yeah

im definitely worried about the train though. i wonder if the citizens that came piling onto it know about the decontamination zone

The boss of the akudama is an idiot. Killing everyone isn't going to solve anything. This is definitely going to end up backfiring.

I'm proud of Hoodlum in this episode for standing up to Doctor. His final moments with him reminiscing about his bro got me emotional. RIP.

For Akudama drive. I found the main character to be very damn annoying throughout the whole anime. I only liked whenever she was serious but her whiny/sensitive/nice persona irritated me so freaking much.(Probably just a me thing) Overall this is a pretty decent anime, definitely would recommend. Plus I really liked Cutthroat and Courier.

Doctor is quite the manipulative psychopath, glad that Hoodlum made a noble self-sacrifice by taking her down with him.

Something tells me it wasn't Swindler who posted on the internet forum but Hacker instead, I really hope he shows up one last time

The Boss of the executioners is a coward and a hypocrite. Last episode she denigrated the police chief for saying "why does this all have to happen while I'm boss?" and in this episode she says the exact same thing. And she orders the execution of a ton of innocent people just to save her own ass... can't wait to see her get her comeuppance.
Doctor made for a great villain. Hoodlum was was my favorite character and it's great to see him dying a hero and killing that bitch.
