| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another episode that feels rushed. They tried to bring in some character depth with background stories this episode but it felt lackluster. Not a pretty sight to see either. Shin and Yuuri's fight against that oversized guy was also underwhelming. Seems they're going to conclude Yuuri's fight with him for the finale. Sigh, only one episode left and this show has been dreadful. |
 |
| Kuroiwa has a pretty strange ability IMO but hey if that works, that works and it's OP, So... no one's complaining. A lot of mind games were played between Akira and Kuroiwa. Akira did try to stall him with his words. But, that wasn't enough to make him believe his words. The back and forth struggle of mind games between them was alright, not very amusing tho. We got some backstories on the characters as well. Looks like the final episode is gonna have the battle of that big guy and Yuuri and her team. One more episode to go. |
 |
| The Sophist Akira vs. The Loanshark Kuroiwa with his slave ability, and it's truly an one-sided battle. Add Oogami into the mix, and these 2 are the real threats. Akira still trying his best to play mind games with Kuroiwa, but it's clear that the latter has the upper hand in all regards, even if Akira tries to use his Sophist ability to the max. Akira one-upped by managing to etch a way out with it, and it's quite the smart strategy to finish Kuroiwa with that many spies and distrust amongst Team Red and Green...but then again, it's all Akira's strategy so he's manning an one-person battle to save a team. On Oogami's side, it's apparent that he isn't human, and the dreadful backstory with both Kuroiwa and Oogami under Momoko's protection in the orphanage confirms that, their dream to create a kingdom for everyone that didn't turn out well. Same for Yuuri which we already seen her backstory before, both her's and Oogami's align. As decent as the manga was in this stage, the anime looks seriously drab in comparison. Time to finish this with the final episode next week with Yuuri and Oogam's "inflated" battle. |
 |
| Something about the pacing in this episode felt off to me. Felt like too much happening and crammed into one ep |
 |
| One thing I've noticed with Oogami. He is the only instance of clear CGI used. This feels like the effect was done on purpose. A story I'm writing I imagine in anime form wherein the faked areas created by magic are cgi look while real stuff is the standard 2d graphics. I wonder if that's what they're doing with Oogami. |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| The explanations are getting less believable. "Ah, yes, I predicted the exact location you'd teleport to and that you wouldn't teleport again for some reason." "Oh, but I knew that and thus the exact location you'd stab me with a knife and had to let that happen before convincing you I could block it for some reason." It's funny. My expectations for this show were rock bottom, but then by doing well for a few episodes it managed to surpass them enough that I'm back to being disappointed. |
| Oh my this was god awful on so many levels. |

| Damn psycho gamer dude, back at it again with you conveniently coincidental plans that somehow work out in the end. Oh, and what's this? CGI dude has somewhat of a backstory to justify him being terrible? I just... well, there's one episode left to tie up loose ends... or most probably not. |

| Kuroiwa's ability was kinda OP but of course he had to be mentally rekt by Akira |
 |
| Great episode...however my biggest gripe with it...why the hell Did Yuuri throw that punch with her left when her arm is broken? I know it's a little detail but unless she has some sort of regen or notfeeling ability...i feel like she wouldn't have done that. |

Akira's BS summarized in one picture Of course, Akira knew beforehand that Kuroiwa's deathblow would be a stab to the gut and hence he carried a few pounds of steak under his school uniform to pull out the old "Tannem" trick. And there was not a single posibility that Kuroiwa would had slashed his throat instead or used any of his dozens of slave chumps to finish him off when Akira was subjugated. The fact that Akira has to let the villian know how he outsmarted him just to infodump the audience right in that moment, tells us how dumb this author thinks his target audience truly is. ROFL, getting Kuroiwa's & Ichi's backstory in the heat of the battle is among the most cliche anime can get. Not to mention who the heck gives a crap about these 2 psychos who just love to use others as stepping stones for their own benefit because neither mommy nor daddy loved them enough when they were young. |

| I really wanted Akira to face some serious situation but nope, of course this OP as fuck protagonist was going to resolve everything even before the thing started. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| This is the dumbest, most nonsensical thing I have watched in a while. It was like the author read/watched Death Note and decided to make an awful version of it for this episode that culminates with fucking cold steaks in a shirt. Also, am I supposed to feel sorry for those psychopaths who have gleefully been killing people because bad childhood? Sorry, I don't. It's not like this show was amazing to begin with but it's slowly crawling in that trash heap. I about lost it during Akira's montage when they showed Yuuri, they have about as much chemistry as a literature class. |
| There's no need for all this tension. |
| the hell vvas the CGI in this episode holy shit |
 |
| In terms of budget, we have no budget. The manga is definitely way better, the anime's pacing is fucked, they cut a lot of stuff, and of course the visuals are barely holding up. I like the part with Yuuri at the end though. |
 |
| I'm a bit confused about how Akira was able to stay in the form of the guy he copied when he went to the red team. Doesn't his ability involve someone else having to think that he can use the power? Or is it like once he starts using it, he can keep using it until any time he himself decides to stop? |
| Visuals definitely are holding almost everything back :( Boring first half but I did like the second half better with the backstory. Still miles away from being my favorite episode in the series though which is a shame |
 |
| Sometimes, idk if my brain foolish me, or this episode was right dumb. I am still not convincing as how easily loanshark guy trapped under Akira's mind game. He's just too easy. I mean, seriously. When they were meet each others, and then him spitting some sense, i already know the glasses guy must be fooled in the end. The disguised spy explanation kinda fine, its a twist. But, the meat, and knife? Sasuga, gamer. Seriously, i have lost my faith watching this episode. Too good to be truth. Anyway, the quality still bad. The flashback of the bad guys kinda feel like, its just there to filling the gap. No impact, no matter whats that, its nothing. But, if the quality handle in a better way, i think i can enjoy the second part way more than this time. Seriously. |

| Oogamis and Masaya Kuroiwa past, felt way too average... and there was no depth as to why they wanted to build a kingdom, felt so rushed. Oogami CGI felt very weird, the way how the veins are showing especially, the CGI for Yuuri is way better. |
| August 6th 2023: Biggest upset ever, deception, selfishness, or scammed, manipulated. Heavy damage costs, and more. Days since: 15 Last updated: 8/21/2023 One Piece Episode 1041 & 1042 & 1047 & 1048 & 95.75%/1049 & 1053 were a mistake and Uta brought the salvation -AhriTheS3xyFox |
| I still don't get why they just randomly use CGI for Oogami and Yuuri at times and then 2D at other times. This anime was pretty decent in the beginning but it has definitely fallen off. Akira really took "all according to keikaku" to the next level here; like someone else above mentioned, what if Kuroiwa had decided to slash his throat instead of stabbing him in the exact spot where he had his literal meat shield lol. Shoehorning in a sympathetic backstory at this point isn't going to make me care all of a sudden for those 2 sociopaths either. I've seen it done well elsewhere, where a sad backstory for an antagonist makes me change my mind about them and feel emotional for their death, but this isn't one of those cases. Animation continues to suffer, thank goodness this will be put out of its misery next week. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Well that's it for Kuroiwa, he got outsmarted by Akira.....OOgami, still at it with Yui, you know if that old lady really wanted to protect those poor orphans from the sadistic hands of the evil manager, why didn't she go to the Police and report it rather than not doing anything???? |
| that's so hard to watch since 5-6 eps started as potentially good battle royale show but now it's just fools parade and nothing more |
 |
| When that flashback scenes happens, it was like "oh shut here we go again" |

| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| looks like Kuroiwa Masaya has fallen first huh... but Ichi is a much difficult b0ss mode huh... 4/5. |
 |
| I burst out laughing when Akira revealed that he infiltrated the Team Reds base and learnt the slaves' abilities, positioning, etc for the boss fight. How anyone can take that seriously is beyond me. The prepared meat for the knife stab was also hilarious. |
 |
| Akira is way too smart for this show. Also Oogami's CGI was horrible. |
 |
| Akira has got some nice manipulating skills but the way they are flexing it makes it seem like "Oh he's the MC so everything will go the way he wants." Literally every situations in this anime is ridiculously on Akira's side that it gets too underwhelming. About Oogami and Kuroiwa's past, that was some Gibiate type storytelling, actually even Gibiate is quite better than this. Why did they exaggerate it so much that it seemed so unrealistic...I couldn't even get myself to sympathize because of the over dramaticism. |
| *slow clap* Akira you crazy madman, playing this whole psychological game to defeat slave owner Kuro there. The backstory there was quite bad where I don't mean it in the way of them being horribly treated. Onto the last episode to see defeat CGI monster Ichi. |

| wait his power is to be invincible for two seconds but he was weaker lol that is a plot hole, then you have the girl be as strong as the the bad guy. So he really isnt invincible then lol bad writing. Escanor did it better when he was invincible for one minute he really was. |
