Gotta give Yuuri some credit for fighting a much larger opponent of her size. She's got guts for sure.

Akira's fight was more tricky but at least he isn't alone. Elsewhere, it looks like the nun lost her fight in the end but it was a valiant effort. Rin managed to get some payback for her but tbh, she looked like she enjoyed her fight. All that blood got her all excited.

Team Red vs. Team Green, and the former group is stronger than they anticipated. From Yuuki's Collector (more like Bartender) ability to Yuuri's save of Asuka against Oogami, and Kuroiwa tricking him to be the overall strategist in this King's Hunt Game of a battlefield, Shigasaki is placed in a rough spot from even using elderly people as spies for a surprise twist.

Akira's plan is falling apart, from failing to identify Rin's abilities to potential members getting killed to others and close to losing Yuuri, nothing's working out for him. To make matters worse, Kirisaki comes back for him as revenge from the 1st Program, but another enemy on the same side (Rindou the Swordsmith that has the same ability as Kirisaki) sees them having a ceasefire to work together as partners, and clear him in 4...no, 5 moves for his backup plan B, a coordinated attack strategy.

Skipping a portion of the puppeteer Renka's story to retaliate against Rin...same comrades on the same team, and the latter's "Iron Maiden" ability to turn blood into weapons is truly fearsome, on the basis that she's acting as a spy for Akira's side.

A fair bit of CG thrown in this one, and it's decent enough.

The strategies used by Team Red were really impressive. Using one for the bait and the other one for the execution can be called the oldest trick in the book but if that works, why not just use it. Yuuri is such a caring girl. She will save anyone who's in need. I like her.

Kirisaki and Akira fighting against Rindou were awesome. The way Akira predicted it all. This man sure knows how to win a fight. Man... Rin's ability looks really OP as well and she's smart and hot. A perfect example of a deadly waifu.

Yuri is really in love and jealous xD at least Akira teamed up with Kirisaki to beat the samurai guy.
Iron Maiden creates torture instruments with bodily fluids that's kinda OP.

I like Iron Maiden's concept. It's kind of weird and unpleasant, but it works well with the ability to create torture devices.

The quality continues to tank each week since the beginning of this arc. The animation is straight up bad now. The 2D animation is almost nonexistent and the 3D animation looks super janky. The art and character designs also took a big hit, it’s pretty mid now. The pacing also felt very fast and rushed this episode.

It’s a shame because I really liked this show the first 6 episodes, but it seems like the production has been slowly deteriorating.

Man I love Rin, she's such a sexy beast. I know she'd never be good but I definitely want her to stick around (btw was that a legit offer, you guys think? About staying by his side). I was so afraid that the little girl with black hair was going to be the traitor even though we saw her internal monologue that would lead us to believe she wasn't. Can't believe that old lady was the traitor. Btw, she can make TORTURE devices with bodily FLUIDS!?! Holy crap, she could do some HORRIBLE things to a man who scorned her. I've heard a lot of people talk about a character that at least sounds similar in Future Diary(the girl with Pink Hair. Does anyone know that character and is she like/as good to watch as Rin is? Anyway I really liked this episode and I always love thee endings with Mion(even though she's a psycho too and needs a comeuppance.

Wait, why would she fight him?? If her team loses they ALL die right? So fighting her own teammate even if she's kinda mad or I'd say more disappointed he didn't go directly to save the kids mom, would be the stupidest idea of all time because it'll lead to your death (regardless of how feel about anything). I haven't read the manga except what we've seen in the Anime so maybe you know something I don't (or maybe the preview?). But that just seems like the most counterproductive thing anyone can do in this world/battle

A little internal conflict between Akira and Yuuri, cause he hasn't realised what he has done to Yuuri's heart.. Meanwhile the older woman is another spy of team red and the mother of the two leaders of team red? Damn, didn't see that coming.

Yuuri battle was kinda nice against that big buffed dude. CGI is not the greatest, but it will do. Luckily it wasn't too much.

Rin has an interesting ability to say the least. Didn't expect it to be like this, but sounds like it's one that can come in handy in more than one way. Didn't think Renka would be a doll.

CGI with Yuuri was really bad.

Akira plan of having the two sword user "meeting up" was really bad (meaning it can only work in an anime where everyone acts how the authors wants them). Not only do the enemy arrive right on time, but, yeah, our dear Madoka decide he wants to fight Akira one-on-one so he betrays his own team for no reason. Did he forget this is a battle royal and not just friendly competition ?

Having Akira finding the spy because the spy was lying about his ability is also too "convenient". Why would the spy would lie ? I mean, if someone ask you "what's your ability", why lying ? It's too risky. Don't lie, can't get caught. This is just cheap writing to give you the illusion Akira is smart. But, no, sorry, doesn't work.

Honestly, I'm starting to have huge doubt about the "intellectual" capacity of the author. There is already two pair of people with the same ability (fighting each other !). Most ability are just transforming one stuff by the other. And the author is unable to write a smart character.
I still didn't find any reason for thinking Akira and Kuroiwa are intelligent. And don't even get me started on how Akira ability is OP and if I was in his shoes with Yuuri helping, I would have killed everyone including Mion already... but hey, let's just use cannon ability (who has this point make me thing of the meme youtube video of ""That's Vegeta's Technique").

Funny, but, at this point, the only character who I can recognize as resourceful is our dear Iron Maiden friend. However, with how her ability work, she could not have killed the guy in the third episode. The girl is freaking in underwear, how the hell she would hide blood for so long ? In order to use her ability in this episode 9, she had to get shot... how did she hurts herself and hide the blood in episode 3? Technically, it should be on one of her hand and she showed us both of them (no blood). Did the author prioritize "fan service" instead of coherence (not like he care so much considering how messy most ability are).

(And then, we're suppose to believe that everyone was stupid enough not to look at her because of a single coin toss ? Yeah, right...)

I think the anime showed a shot of some other shiny bodily fluids on Rin so it's possible that blood is not the only thing she can use.

A lot of things happened in one times, and the animation and art qualities once again kinda worrying me. Damn that 3d....

Well, after a maginificent openings from the red team elites, slowly but sure their sadist approaching getting reach its ends. That string guy actually had an ability to shrink everything? Curious to see how that big guy can out of those problematic situations. In the other side, looks like Akira and Yuuri had a little quarrel in the midst of those chaotic situations. Yuuri got a little doubt as how Akira acted not so convincing her that time. So, they were indeed taking the different route, but its still according to Akira's plan, more or less. The game of spy has been launched from both sides. Rin with her iron maiden collaborated with Akira. While that unexpected old bizarre-looking lady acted as the red team's second collaborator. Never expect that loud maid would die that fast too, more importantly about the fact, its just a puppet, and controlled by the damn dude. Rin once again did everything to survive by using all of her bodily fluid to create such a beyond everyone imagination things: torture devices. Really? That's why its called iron maiden? Lel, whatevass. Its also proved me right again that every person ability showed in the title will be important for the story itself, and survive. I see, i see.

Really good episode! I actually like how they blended the cg and 2d in Yuuri and Oogami's fight, it's not the best but it's good enough.

Goddamn, that granny has been hiding in plain sight all this time. Rin just wants to survive, I can respect that, her ability is sick though, and kinky ( Ν‘° ΝœΚ– Ν‘°). I thought Renka went down just like that, didn't expect her to be a puppet.

Akira with the big brain plays out here, Akira and Kirisaki vs that old dude was pretty good. Didn't realize how cool turning a stick into a sword could actually be, especially when you're surrounded with all those trees. I wonder how Kumagiri can beat that shrinker guy though. Looking forward to the next episode.

I thought the CG was kinda annoying but still bearable. Other than the average animation, I’m enjoying this show much more than I thought I would. I like the main characters, especially Akira. It’s nice to see an mc who isn’t just OP (still a solid power tho) but rather one that knows his limitations and more often than not figures out a way to overcome his hurdles. I do hope his companionship with Yuuri isn’t broken tho.

Not Darwin's Game defo upped the intensity with this episode. Battles left and right, and spies in the base camp... Unfortunately, I couldn't care less about any of it. Might be from the fact I care so little about the characters.

Looks like Rin wants to go to the Blue Team and doesn't care who wins, the Red Team or the Green Team. She wants to be on the neutral side. But I hope Akira kills Kuroiwa and that Mion. And why did Yuri run off without Akira? What's her deal? Was it that girl with the glass that was getting in the way? And I hope that old bitch gets her throat slit for being a snake that was a spy from the red team that killed the captured spy from the red team after glasses girl was trying to get him something to drink like water. And finally, Akira helped Madoka win a battle of taking out one of the red team's minions since he was so fixated on defeating Akira after losing to him in episode one and getting a lecture from him in episode three of him losing his battle with that girl that was turning marbles into wrecking balls and letting his guard down in that 5 on 5 team battle which they won.

They finally revealed that pink haired girl's ability, her power reveal cracked me up. “The ability to make torture devices from bodily fluids” that's really fitting for her image XD

It was quite entertaining to see her dodge those attacks in that nighty XD

The CG in Yuuri and Red Leader's fight looked funny.

Everybody is going on about the use of CG, but what I can't get over is how hard the anime is actively working against itself, to invalidate the existence of that thing they do at the end of every episode with the ability screen. When the practice was established, I started expecting a dramatic moment where a character's ability is revealed on-screen at the end of an episode. And that moment just... never comes. This episode literally has a situation where Rin's power is revealed at the end! Only for the literal final shot in the episode to briefly overlay the paper describing [Iron Maiden] with minimal fanfare! And then three seconds later they cue the end screen with the exact same text! Literally why?!?

Why would Kirisaki want to KILL Akira? To "see who is the strongest"? He has seen Akira fight twice, but so what? What does Kirisaki gain other than a prison sentence? Because this is still the real world, and they are in the hands of criminals. Kirisaki gets no award for committing murder.

Neither does zombie-looking Rindou. How amazing that they chose people randomly from all over Japan, and at least a third are blood-thirsty psychos who kill for fun. Even in the most homicidal countries in the world, like Nicaragua, not even one percent commit the murders.


The combination of the doll creator and the puppeteer was clever though. But I wonder how you make an ability called "can make torture devices out of body fluids". How do you program, or conjure up magic, exact enough to encompass torture devices but nothing else? Torture devices could be a very varied bunch.
