| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The drama here is pretty good^^ It looks like Ishihara is playing a big part in the series besides torturing the cell mates, he really wants Rokurouta dead from the looks of everything >.< I love the part where Mario throws a punch, it shows that he has a strong resolve but it's the shame that he has to get beaten up in the end =.= Lets hope that he can still throw a punch with his right hand after that injury. Rokurouta fighting at the end was good to see, those people really deserved a good beating. |

| Wasn't the best idea to meet those guys alone, thats what I would say. with this, i think his dream is all but dead. :/ Won't rate it until i see the subbed version, overall the episode was good and at lease 4/5. |

| Wow, I hate Ishihara and the doctor even more than I did before, and a new hate has sprung up for those bitches that ganged up on Sakuragi and Mario. I was glad Sakuragi got the final punch in on that one guy, though! I can't wait to see the subs since so I can fully understand the episode. Edit: Preview for next episode - "Sakuragi is ready to accept his fate." Please...PLEASE don't tell me that it's hinted that Sakuragi is going to die? ;___; |

| When exactly can we get to see the subbed episode 5?? I cant wait to see it soon enugh.. Can someone suggest me a great site to download subbed episode as soon as its out!!?? |

| Subs. Do want. |
| I know this is a bit late and stupid question..... Why izzit Sakuragi get to grow longer hair than others?? 0.0 The "Sakuragi getting beaten and not resisting it" makes me feeling like the scene I watch from One piece..... Does that means that Sakuragi doesn't fight back because of pride?Refuse to lose to his own feeling?....Letting people to hit him but not getting angry .subjectivism ( I felt kinda out of topic though LOL)? After the hearing Mario's Hand getting smashed,Sakuragi has made his decision.He has found a reason to kick ass!!! Back before He has no reason to fight because the reason of getting hit is himself.But He will not forgive people who hit his friend because of his fault.The limit has reach MAXXX !!!! ( I like how he compare that the bad guy(dunno name) is better than Ishihara ,But it seems the bad guy overdo thing already....They should have take it slowly like Ishihara...why am I giving advise LOL nvm...It seem Ishihara's personality is really a bit crazy compare to the bad guy.Well Ishihara brain must have loose a few screw in it anyway ^^ ) Anyway,....After the battle,I bet Sakuragi will get himself into BIG trouble... Next episode: Sakuragi is ready to DIE!!!!!OMG!!! What will happen to the world??? ...... |

Ugh, poor kid. Anyway. Wow, Mario, what a fucking idiot. He got his hand broken for no reason whatsoever. Those guys would never stop beating up Anchan, and now, because of Mario, Anchan is angry and will fight back -- no doubt putting his release in jeopardy. The longer Anchan is in prison, the longer he will be tortured by Ishihara and the doctor. So stupid. |

| Wow-.- the doctor. =-= |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
| I hope his hand can recover and didn't cause any permanent damage. ): |
 |
| Hi there , Can you guys tell me where you download it. I was using mainly tokyo toshokan web site for torrent. Episode 5 was great (doctor smelling is hand) peace |
| try going to the websites of Frostii or Saizen.. they're the ones subbing it.. anyway, darn you, Mario! it's all your fault Sakuragi's situation is getting worse.. but i still hope your hand heals so that next time, you can use it for a good cause.. |
| Just watched FroZen's subs. Damn good episode. |

( I wonder what happen if Ishihara found this out ,I don't think his plan work well this time) |
| Brilliant episode o_O awesome ending and damn his hand D: |
| The doctor is easily the most disgusting character in the show. The look when he smelled his hand after that 'inspection' was gag-inducing. |
 |
| Oh. My. God. Ready to cry for Mario (although it WAS kind of stupid what he did). Seriously, that made me cry. And yesssssss for Sakuragi punching the hell out of those bastards. Will get him trouble, but guess what I think he believes it's worth it. Me too, by the way. |
Tell me how it feels, breaking down the old walls. |
| For me I think the doctor has come to a point that it cannot be saved.During the first episode,he acted as if he is a good guy and now...... Although this is a bit risky to put my bet on ...I gonna bet Ishihara will change into a good guy and help Sakuragi further in the future episode. ( just hope he will feel sorry for Mario's hand ) |

Although this is a bit risky to put my bet on ...I gonna bet Ishihara will change into a good guy and help Sakuragi further in the future episode. ( just hope he will feel sorry for Mario's hand ) What are you dreaming of? This anime trys to stay somewhat realistic. In the real world, that would never ever happen. Mario's hand also is gonna be useless for boxing for the rest of his life. If An-chan dies (and that's what I suspect will happen [pay attention at the opening: in the scene with everyone released, An-chan isn't there]), I will cry. Possibly more than ever before (caused by anime, that is). Ya,Mario's hand won't be heal and the its the fact,even losing one of the hand ,I think he won't giving up on saving Sakuragi.His sacrifice(hand) will make every change their mind. |
| A heartwarming beginning. Shame it's only the beginning. This doctor is fucked up, seriously. |
 |
| Fuckin Mario oh well now at least we'll see those assholes get an ass whoopin! |
 |
| At the end when Sakuragi punches the ringleader and you hear his nose snap fucking brilliant |
| WOW! Another great episode. 5/5 I really heate Ishihara and that doctor.. Why are they doing that to Sakuragi anyway? And poor Mario.. What he did was kind of stupid, but understandable. |
Optime olere occisum hostem! |
| Funny episode. There was just so much I couldn't take seriously (the new guard smiling when looking in on the 6, the whole discussion of what they'd do when they got out, Sakuragi being thrown to the lions, etc.) and actually laughed more than this last episode of Arakawa Under the Bridge. But the short respite with the doctor smelling his hand is easily the best thing the show has done thus far. I also don't like the stupid Ippo eyes that Sakuragi gets. |
| Poor Mario, I hope his hand will heal somehow. The Doctor and Ishihara really deserve to get a good beating. And also ,it's good to see that Sakuragi gave the bullies what they deserved.( too bad that in the end he did exactly what the doctor and ishihara wanted him to...) |
| And Mario has just gone out of his way to become a noob, that is just FUCKIN WHY? Is it just me or did the Doctor actually missing something from his lower half of his body? >_< |

MorningGlory said: Does that means that Sakuragi doesn't fight back because of pride? Refuse to lose to his own feeling?....Letting people to hit him but not getting angry. I think knowing that they're all Ishihara's men, he just didn't want to give them a reason for keeping him in the reformatory after all, he is about to get free. This episode was awsome but I can't stifle this uneasy feeling in me that something terribly bad will happen, I'm sure with Sakuragi... I was shocked when they crushed Mario's hand. Really, really impressive~~ |
 |
| DAMN that ishihara and that doctor and also those boys. so sad for mario! It felt sooooooooooooooooo great when sakuragi punched that guys fucking face in though. |

You really don't like this show, right? Well nothing wrong with that. Actually you don't see the new guard smiling so... Well the episode was good in itself. I thought it was going too far in the "unfairness". Guess I don't like the ugly=bad people so far. Rainbow is such a messed up world. I mean there are lots of fights in prison, even stabbing or rape and there's this guy who can beat the shit out of everyone but does not and prefer to act level headed with his Bro Code. Well it's nice yet he should still beat the crap out of the guys in his cell and if he ever got questioned about it, just blame those fuckers and say they tried to beat and rape each other since there is no witness nor evidence. |
Splitter said: Nothing good comes from a character with a Hitler moustache. That's what I thought too ^^ He is even worse than Ishihara... Well, it was a good episode, but after those heart-warming scenes at the beginning, I just knew something bad was going to happen. Poor Sakuragi, I hope he is somehow going to get out of that place... He is in a big truoble now. |

| And now Rainbow's looking more and more like Hajime no Ippo. I didn't know a boxer's training and prison life could be so alike, with all the epicness, manliness and drama involved. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I thought I hated Ishihara and the Doctor before...Now I really hate them. "Oh my God." is exactly what I said when I saw Mario's beaten hand. It probably won't heal, seeing how screwed up it is, but hopefully he gets through it. Go Sakuragi for finally beating those assholes. |
Minami-Nan said: You really don't like this show, right? Well nothing wrong with that. Actually you don't see the new guard smiling so... We don't see him smile, but going off of his disposition and want to take care of them, I assume that's what he did. At the very least, he took a lesson from Tyra Banks and learned how to smize. |
Akateito said: I thought I hated Ishihara and the Doctor before...Now I really hate them. [2]. Anyway, go Sakuragi. |

| ^^ [3] the new guard makes me happy. finally someone that really cares about them |
 |
| I really like that nice guard who smiled at Mario in the beginning, and tried to get help in the end. My rage really boils when I see the stupidity of those guys. But, not everyone is a peace maker. Anyways, I hope Marios hand is okay and Bro beats there asses. I thought, at first, that they were going to rape Bro. I was so damn scared >.< |

noteDhero said: I also don't like the stupid Ippo eyes that Sakuragi gets. If literally having burning power in your eyes is stupid, then I feel pretty silly. 'Cause I do that all the time. =P Man I love this show. I'm connecting with the drama, the characters, and of course the burning manliness. The end of that episode was badass stuff, the over-the-top awesome guitar sells it. Now my main concern is how far they'll take it, I'd hope they cover all 22 volumes of the manga. At the moment only 13 episodes are listed for this on AnimeNewsNetwork, here's hoping that it goes longer than that. 26 episodes minimum I'd hope. |
| ...THAT DOCTOR! I knew he was a creeper. When I started this anime I had a mindset like "someones ganna to get raped" ... but seriously DO NOT FUCKING WANT, and why would he rape that dood when Jou is around? :> Also I can't help but to cringe my teeth in anger every time Ishihara has screen time. He just makes me so physically mad. |

| The doctor has already sodomized the boys. During the inspection. This is the Bro-tastic-at-the-expense-of-clearly-telling-the-story-to-attract-the-wrong-viewers that I was talking about. |

| HAHAH Nice spoiler up there really unexpected |
