| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Oh shit, another member of the Class 13?? I swear, this number is unlucky. I like seeing Medaka-chan in her red hair form again although it would of been even better if she jumped in there and kicked Kei Munakata's ass. The fight between Zenkichi and that guy was cool I guess. Grenades and weaponry are always fun to play with. Good fight. |

| Kei tossed everything but the kitchen sink at Zenkichi. In the end though, Zenkichi manged to come out on top. |
 |
| Zenkichi how you survive with them swords on your back much less be standing after Kei's defeat, obvious plot armor heck Kei himself had more of it since he should be dead from all those swords falling on him. That earthquake he did after he stood back up was cool. Lots of defying reason and the laws of the human body with Kei's infinite weapon works and Zenkichi surviving fatal stabs that would be deadly even by anime standards. The fight was good and ended surprisingly well and pretty bloody. |
 |
| Yeah in reality he pretty much would be dead already with a sword falling, this is typical just that can happend in anime and got fatal stab in the back. Hiding all those weapons is also kind of weird haha |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| so the episode aired on Wednesday while streaming sites says at Friday i wan't the correct time to watch it on Japanese and the channel please |
 Guts, known as the Black Swordsman, seeks sanctuary from the demonic forces attracted to him and his woman because of a demonic mark on their necks, and also vengeance against the man who branded him as an unholy sacrifice. Aided only by his titanic strength gained from a harsh childhood lived with mercenaries, a gigantic sword, and an iron prosthetic left hand, Guts must struggle against his bleak destiny, all the while fighting with a rage that might strip him of his humanity. |
| oh man...how bad can this show gets... nothing makes sense at all, the battle was lame normal? er...quite! id say whoever enjoy this show is quite abnormal (oh and OP & ED was awesome as usual) |

The fight was good and ended surprisingly well and pretty bloody. I didn't watch the episode yet but I guess they didn't made it clear enough. His abnormality is being a master at killing. Being a master at knowing how to kill people also means that you are a master at knowing how not to kill your target. Munakata is doing all he can so that he does not kill his target. He does not want to kill anyone so he pretend to be a murderer and carry weapon to scare people off. The reason why Zenkichi survived having three sword sheated into him is because Munakata avoided his vital organs. Of course Zenkichi was seriously wounded but he was wounded in a way that he would not die. (Of course taking into account he get treated fast and do not die from blood loss) Of course that's nothing normal. That's why Munakata is an abnormal, he can do things normal people can't. The reason why Munakata survived the sword rain is because, applying the same reason as why Zenkichi is still alive, he dodged the sword in a way it would only hurt him and not kill him. |

The fight was good and ended surprisingly well and pretty bloody. haha , thats the essence of this show, fuck logic!, but do it great! Encounter said: Dakara Korosu....that is all XD |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Really awesome episode. Zenkichi was great in that fight! >:D KuroNoKenshi said: Hoppy said: Zenkichi how you survive with them swords on your back much less be standing after Kei's defeat, obvious plot armor heck Kei himself had more of it since he should be dead from all those swords falling on him.

I was questioning the survival part as well, but the anime actually does go into Munakata's abnormality. It didn't go into detail on whether or not he could apply this to himself, but something like that can be easily assumed possible. |
| For some reason I don't feel the tension of this fight I felt with the manga. It feels like they're rushing through it a bit too quickly. |
 |
| Nice fight there. Zenkichi shows his fighting spirit there! |
 |
| Friggin Epic episode!! Zenkichi FTW!!...he was so BA...perfect adaption :D Loved the "[insert sentence]...Thus, I kill" part lol XD Medaka was pretty cute while crying. Nxt up Akune's turn...can't wait hehe |

| To me it was a good episode. Not as good as the manga but I never expect an anime to be at the same level of its original support. |
 |
| oh yes! Zenkichi show them who's the boss! someone kill Shiranui already!!! and why is Kato Emiri voicing all the characters I like and lovely or hate and wish them to die? zz |

| Another epic episode,Zenkichi is BA. |
 |
| O.o for a moment I really thought Zenkichi die. |

minimiau said: O.o for a moment I really thought Zenkichi die. Usually most characters in shounen manga "don't die even if you kill them". Kamiya Hiroshi automatically improving a series even if he's voicing a supporting character. |
| I like the series but this battle was lame so rushed that it made the enemy look plain weak. The fight seemed waay easy. Imagine if medeka fought him ......not to mention her OP power to learn anything see sees. |
paladin2050 said: But I thought Ahh make up your mind, anime! |
Another genius. |
| Zenkichi is a BA, one of the better fights in the manga had a pretty much perfect adaption, reminds me why i enjoy Zenkichi's fights so much more than Medaka's who are just OP and over the top, at least with Zenkichi you can see the effort it takes for him to win, can't wait for |

| Forget the 13's Shiranui is going to be he final boss lol |

| That fight was really well done. Munakata is up there as one of the strangest personalities I've encountered in Anime. |
| Hm, I was pretty disappointed. First half was so.. meh, but second half was better. Recently started with the manga and liked the battle more in the manga. Also guys, do you also have the feeling if there are frame drops during the episode when the camera moves? :< |
| I do not kill without a reason. I only kill when I have a reason. Currently I'm at work, Thus I kill you. I have no time to waste on you, thus I kill you. I won't try to stop you, thus I kill you. I dislike conflict, thus I kill you. The weather is lovely today. Thus, I kill you. Lunch was delicious. Thus, I kill you. I had a nice dream last night. Thus, I kill you. A movie that I've been looking forward to comes out soon. Thus, I kill you. My telephone's battery is nearly dead. Thus, I kill you. I have no reason. Thus, I kill you. This guy has some weird rationality. O.o |

Its not entirely impossible, is it? Totally different series, but a good example: Kamijou Touma is a level 0 I understand where you are coming from but Zenkichi is 100% normal. He's not even a special. but if you are interested in Zenkichi and do not mind spoiler: |
|
| I liked this episode. Thus, I will kill you |
|
| Nice ep. almost like Blade of Immortal and Fate/stay night in one show "Humans die when they're killed" |
 |
| Too bad this is his only redeemable fight imo. |
    |
^Summary of this whole awesome action packed episode. "A Normal who can rival Abnormals. Meaning that he could be an abnormal wearing a Normal's skin." Now that's something to think about. Zenkichi may be just too normal that he is abnormal. o_0 |
| "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!" |
| Humans die when they are killed. Shirou v2.0?!? Jokes aside, great episode with an heroic Zenkichi and a love confession from Medaka. I'm loving Season 2 of Medaka Box. |

| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| Cool Zenkichi is cool. |
