| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was pretty funny. Scipio Africanus is such an amusing character and his character rivalries. The historical references from the episode were also amusingly presented imo especially the part about WWII and the Axis Powers. Didn't take this episode too seriously compared to some of the others. When it comes to comedy, I got used to Drifters' humor by this point.  |
 |
| In case anyone comes in looking for it the episode's delayed on crunchyroll. They say for a few hours, but we'll see. EDIT: Fun episode, cat people! Too bad we didn't get to see Olminu's boobs get rubbed. XD Dwarves saving time! |

| oh boy, can't wait for next episode, hyped for it... no OP neither ED this time |

| As a fanatic of the History, I found the interactions between Scipio and Naoshi Kanno hilarious. One of the funniest scenes of the series imo. It was a transition episode, but after the intense stuff of the previous one, it was needed. Loved how it explored a bit Nobunaga's ideals and goals and the moment of Hannibal and Toyohisa was really badass. He can be a senile old man, but he is still fucking Hannibal Barca. Next episode looks promising. P.S. The Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy are really cool. |
 |
| HAHAHAHA!! LOL EVEN I have Heard Seimei!!! Hell It is almost obvious that even people that are not that much into Japanese History and Mythology have Heard at least of Seimei and Nobunaga! XD But Looks like Toyohisa is expection! BUT DAMN Toyo Said it Clearly! Screw the Rules! Jean is what "Our" World Made her...along with those Religious Nust from Church....while she is End...I don't hate her. Damn Toyo is cool. Poor Yoichi...sadistic(??) and Cruel master is here. Seimei is somewhat Fanatic about killing the Ends...wonder what happened after he arrived to this world? Kid and Butch are Cool! like them...damn didn't they become happy after hearing that Nobu is making Black powder! XD |

| Comedy is still mediocre overall but I did find the axis power reference funny. |
 |
| Lol that crazy Japanese pilot hahaha. Sometimes Nobunaga can be such a scary character, always plotting something, always having something in mind and only to see him in the next moment act like a silly old man xD. Looking forward to the next episode! |

"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Japanese pilot and Scipio skit was actually funny. Other than that, Nobunaga with a gun, so good xD |
| That fight between pilot and Scipio was fun as hell. :D I wish they get gatlin gun active again. Pure massacre. ;) |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Lol the pilot drifter tamed a bunch of animal soldiers. That funny fist fight between him and the Rome guy over misunderstanding of each other lol. So awesome how all the drifters are coming together. |
| Oda Nobunaga now become Sakamoto Ryoma with his pistol. If only Sakamoto family has as much power as Oda family he'd become just like Nobunaga the man who want to change the world by power and military struggle (though failed). Comedy is very hilarious, I like the interaction between Semei and Nobunaga, it's very true, people who are full of idea of changing the world like Nobunaga is incredibly dangerous and unpredictable, they might be useful but also is a double edge blade, if in wrong time, wrong place they could lead the world to it ruins. |

| HMMMMM CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODEEE Mannn, Nobunaga I love him so much, with his evil and crazy plans also realizing that his past life he made a lot of mistakes. What worries me is Yoichi, I think he's gonna have a mental breakdown that might ruin something in the future. |
| Drifters is just getting even better. The fact that they can blend in multiple histories and generations together is its greatest potential. Being able to use many known warriors and leaders across generations, and as well as old and new technology. I had originally not thought much about episode 1, but I'm just really enjoying this now. I really do hope we get 24 episodes. |
| Youchi getting Everyone is antiquated and nobunaga impresses cassidy with his boastful craziness and gets a gun :) Hannibal is only sane when he's with Scipio :'( but he's still got that warrior spark. Good thing that elf realized that they were just as responsible as the dwarves for not helping the others, I guess toyohisa doesn't want to lecture every time. This face XD  |
 |
| Very good episode. That Yoichi scene in the beginning though, So that guy was his lord. :o Toyohisa and his Bushido is always really cool to watch, I love how Seimei was stunned when he Toyohisa talked of his code. Oda was so awesome this episode, That excitement in his face when he saw the Gatling gun. XD Epic how he said, I'm making gunpowder right now. XD Pilot and Scipio's little skit was hilarious, Axis power reference. XD Toyohisa's little run in with Hannibal was pretty cool, Interesting how Toyohisa tested the warrior in him. Really like how Toyohisa made the elves realize what was important themselves. Oda got himself a gun now. ;) |
 |
| Some of the comedic moments in this episode were actually pretty funny for once. I especially liked the part with Scipio and the Japanese pilot. That Axis power reference lol. Next episode should be hype with Toyohisa and everyone else going to save the Dwarves. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Seems like Nobunaga took a liking toward Olminu. No fixed rules on their head. They do what they want to do. LOL |
 |
| great episode. can't wait for the next episode yay |
| The banter with Scipio Fukuzawa and the Japanese pilot was very funny. Nobunaga looked so happy learning about the Gatling gun. |
 |
| A bit of a scattered, unfocused episode. But thankfully they ended united with a common objective moving forward from here. |
| The interaction b/w that pilot and Scipio was funny lol |
 |
| Funny to watch how the characters react to other ages stuff and way of think, all this is pretty interesting. And now Toyohisa decided to save the dwarfs and join them to the cause to fight the war. What a characters we have here. |
 |
| The comedies are godly in this episode... holy crap history lesson at its best |
| That Axis Power joke was actually pretty funny. |
 |
| Nobunaga keeps impressing me. His dialogue and comedic moments are always interesting to watch. I'm really looking forward to the next episode. |
| THAT WAS... AWESOME!! the character rivalries, the comedy (and they are on point with there humor its hilarious) and its so facinating watching how they are with each other. like the moment of Hannibal and Toyohisa was really badass xD "might be a senile old fuck, but he is still fucking Hannibal Barca". xD and that i agree. as the last scene was just gave some goosebumps how with the elvs, Its time to save the Dwarfs !! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| Not the best episode going, but the comedy wasn't entirely intolerable for once, so I suppose that's an improvement. |
| Thought they scrapped the comedy because of how great the previous episode was. Back to being crap again. |
 |
| To think that Yoichi the master archer was almost killed man that guy with the chain was pretty powerful its lucky that the rest of the drifters arrived just in time So Yoichi does know the observer that was observing the battle So the grand master is also a drifter then eh i thought that he was from this age lol Toyo doesn't know who Abe was lol The legendary Abe no seimei himself eh Hmm Abe seems determined to wipe the ends out even by killing them while Toyo doesn't seem to want to kill Joan because of her gender. Its nice to see that Toyo still has his honor though. Damm can't believe that they lost Scipio though its funny in that Scipio and Hannibal have such a relationship here in real life they were sworn enemies that faced each other on the opposing sides of war Lol its nice to see that Scipio did survive though lol his name being africanus but not actually liking Africa lol Lol Naoshi not only surviving the landing but also managing to subjugate a small tribe as well and Scipio stumbling across it Lol Scipios inner thoughts as he is being yelled at by Naoshi lol Naoshi's imagination as Scipio shouted out Roma Nobunaga being interested in new weapons tech that he hasn't seen before is just like his real life counterpart since he is credited with changing the way wars were fought in Japan in his era. Replicating future tech in the current era will always be hard given how different metal working techniques are in this new world Lol the minster sneezing when Abe mentioned alchemists i wonder is he one hmm using sulfur and calcium to make gunpowder eh man Nobunaga is as smart as his real life self Hmm so thats Nobu's plan uniting the tribes and forming an alliance to destroy the Ote empire from the inside Hmm its nice to see that Nobu realizing the mistakes that he had made in life and try and change this by learning new things Hannibal really has deteriorated without Scipio being here though but it seems he can still be sane sometimes lol to think that he reminds Toyo of his uncle the great Yoshihiro Shimazu himself lol Nobu's tantrum as he sees Toyo walking away yo start his own plan Its nice to see that Shara and the elves are wise enough to consider the big picture and not about little things like grudges its nice to see that the alliance is coming along nicely and that the relationship between the drifters are coming along and improving as well |

| Scioio and the crazy pilot bit was the best comedy this has had since it started. |

| This episode the comedy actually was really good. Especially between Scipio and the Japanese guy. But the interaction between the other Drifters and the Octrobist guys and Nobunaga/Toyohisa nice as well. And the elves looked really badass at the end. Hopefully some nice fights while rescuing the dwarves and more of Scipio in the next episodes. I guess Hannibal is staying with Nobunaga/Toyohisa and the elves and then Scipio and the other Japanse guy joining them and then the Octobrists joining again when looking/searching for Scipio leads them back to the main group. |
| I'm happy that the comedy was much better overall in this episode than the rest of the episodes. My favourite part goes to the interactions between Scipio and Naoshi. That was really hilarious! =) Hannibal might be going senile, but the way he pulled the small sharp stick to Toyohisa's eye during his charge was proper badass. Proof that this old guy has some fighting spirit left in him. =D As a whole, the interactions between all of the drifters was fascinating. Nobunaga has a solid interest with guns that the Sundance Kid gave him one to use. For Yoichi, being tormented on by his older brother for his struggles last week was cowardly, since he never showed himself to Yoichi. Maybe they'll battle against each other one day... Toyohisa still remains one of my favourite characters though. Very little is going to stop his momentum right now and he also got the Elves to put their feelings about the Dwarfs aside so that they'll help him free the Dwarfs from the Orte. With this build up episode being great, I hope next week's one is just as good. =) |
| Well the episodes keep getting better and better hannibal has some awesome reflexes.... Toyohisa is the main attraction for the show in the end |
 |
| Abe no Seimei: Why can't you be the king? Nobunaga:Truth is i don't have what it takes to be a good king. Inablity to grap men's hearths was what got me killed last time. I think Nobunaga jizzed in his pants when he saw the gatling gun :D I gotta say i dont really like Abe no Seimei's stick in the mud Babyface attitude. You cant win the war with pure Babyface tactics,you gotta dip into Heel territory too. Next episode:Oh boy... Dwarf liberation next and "that" reference is there too. Ps.Sorry for those pro wrestling term in third paragraph. |
| Scipio and Naoshi Kanno were hilarious this week.The rest of the Drifters are assembling and along with the Elves are going to save the Dwarves and expand the new empire Nobunaga has in mind,ruled by Toyohisa.Hannibal is still a badass even though he's senile.Great episode. |
 |
| the comedy was much better especially that pilot dude he's crazy |
 |
| I'm really wondering here: is Nobunaga a pervert or is he just teasing the poor girl? I like that Japanese pilot. I wanna see what will happen when he meets the crazy trio. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| This anime is getting motho motho interesting. |
 |
| woah this series just keeps getting better just started reading the manga too, highly recommend it. |
| I love this show more and more, I love this little team now and this is the kind of comedy they need, with all of their egos and differences clashing ! That scene with Scipio and Kanno was so funny ! And I like Butch Cassidy, he has kind of cool vibe. |
 |
| Well portrayed interactions among the drifters. Comedy is better, well didn't mind past ones that much. Nobunaga's reflection on his life was a great development and shines a new light to him. Not liking Abe/Grand Master and his personality. Is he tasked with the Drifter supervising or he realized it himself, was subbed both in this ep. |
| I was waiting for Oda's reaction to gattling gun. And he is already friends with western guys. Oh, how I love interactions between different cultures and different ages. Yoshitsune is probably a drifter, he is just fucking around. Drifters have free will after all. I can predict that Hijikata will show us some extreme bullet slicing when a gattling gun is fired on him. And I am looking forward to it. Toyohisa is going to be my favorite MC if he keeps going like this. |
