| Ranko seems to be shouldering responsibility on herself after all this drama... Still, being disowned like this really hurts and this episode was filled with emotions. Kinda wish they didn't have to solve every problem with violence but hey, this episode earned my respect for Ranko. Yet, she still got a bad ending...again. |
 |
| Goddammit! that ending. That was very sad and depressing. I hope there will be some miracle for Ranko. She did not deserve this tragic end. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Dude wtf, ranko is dead??? just like that...Next is finale, lets see what's gonna happen. Argshhh It was a sad episode.. |
 |
| Ranko is dead...!? What???😨😨😨 |
| And it happened just like that in an instant. I love it when campy shows pull a deadly twist. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Ranko died?!?! The bastards killed her! YOU SONS OF BITCHES!!! That's it! I've had it! Damn you! Ranko doesn't deserve this bad ending! I'm tired, seeing people like her getting killed for no reason! They killed the best girl! WHY?!?! FUCK!!! Rating: 4/10.  |

| That ending was totally unexpected, tho not entirely, because we all know, that this show really likes to kill people completely out of nowhere. Stab into kidney is always fatal. Unless we'll get some serious Deus Ex Machina and plot armor, Ranko is gone. I'm pretty sure it was the same maid from the first episode. Makes sense, since Ranko literally wiped out her entire caffé.     Now, that I think about it, she was very distinctive in that 1st episode for a (supposed) mob character. Distinctive design and on the forefront whenever possible. Now, Nagomi will have to make a choice: Forgiveness or vengeance? She already let Manami off after her killing Nerula. Nagomi also goes through exact same thing Ranko did in the past. It was very likely, that Akiba District will corrupt her. |

| Shock factor was the only thing going on for this series, but then they had a thought, "Why not out of fucking nowhere we've an NPC stab that character whom people stan for? That would make something like the mOsT SHockiNG twist EVER hahaha.... " Disappointed.. just disappointed. |
 |
| I fucking knew this was gonna happen, damn it. Why did Ranko had to die. With one episode left what the fuck gonna happen now. |
 |
| Okachimachi reeling in for Oinky Doink Cafe's disownment from the Creatureland Group, and things take a downward spiral for the worse. A hardcore fan of Nagomi's was killed for bragging rights, and even his companions felt the same to run away from them. As if this isn't enough, the recent Lady Omoe festival makes things clear that they're targeted at every level. Obviously, Ranko's clash with Michiyo has made the oath of sisterhood a lot more difficult to swallow, with the others only encouraging her to settle their long-standing feud and not butting in. Because this is a life-or-death situation, there's stakes involved, and the whole cafe is ready to back her up to wherever she nees to be. And so it is: Oinky Doink Café vs. Creatureland, with both Nagomi and Ranko meeting Nagi face-to-face, to make the deadly choice of protecting a corporation, or the swines. Ranko essentially faces herself a death mission, with Nagomi being an extra to convince her out of her former job killing maids. And as sad as Ranko chooses death over saving Nagomi, Nagi relentlessly choosing to abide by Ranko's request is the final straw to suck more money out of them. WOW, what a ballsy move to kill Ranko in broad daylight. It's for certain: Nagi means business, and where can we go from here? |

| That was certainly an ending I didn't expect to see happen with the way things were going... Until that point, the rest of the episode was pretty tense, with the maids of Oinky Doink making their defiant stand after CreatureLand disowned them. Nagomi and Ranko's trip to see Nagi herself was brave and savage with the attacks that they had to endure, but the resolve from both Nagomi and Ranko seemed to be enough to convince Nagi to change her mind and agreed to let them in again, albeit with a hefty sweets target to hit. After that, all seemed fine, with Ranko wanting to buy a new hair accessory for Nagomi, but she ended up getting fatally stabbed in the back by a rouge maid who disappeared in the crowd. Such is the place in question that the public looked very reluctant to call the ambulance services despite Nagomi's desperate pleas. With Ranko's eyes losing colour and her body going limp, it does look like that she did die from her injury. Unless the series pulls off one hell of a plot twist to Ranko actually being alive somehow, then this was a brave and ballsy move for the story's direction to go down on. I can understand a few users here being unimpressed with this choice that the show has done, but I'm going to reserve my opinion on how the final episode will wrap things up. After that, things will hopefully be clearer if the choice of killing off Ranko here was a good move or not. Overall, the episode itself was very good, even with the sudden ending that we got. I highly look forward to the final episode to see what'll happen next. =) |
| Farging iceholes.. killing off Ranko. Bring me my elephant gun! I am going to miss this show when it is finished. Never a dull moment. |
| May the Uguu be with you. |
| I remember seeing some people asking for an ending like what happened this episode on Lycoris Recoil but did not expect to get such an ending on this episode. Looks like that's it for Ranko there with the stab being so bad. This is going to be a painful wait for a whole week to see how will this wrap up like what will happen to Nagomi after that like will she avenge Ranko and destroy Creatureland or whatever Ton Tokoton is going to do. Atleast they still have the likes of Zoya to fight. |
| Plot twist after plot twist, and here I thought it was Okachimachi's time, RIP Ranko-san I hope you find Suehiro-san in the underworld afterlife. JurassicOtaku212 said: Ranko died?!?!

 |
| >That Godfather reference It was great |
| Wow, I really thought things would get better for them now but that end with Ranko being stabbed... seems like she's really dead this time :/ RIP |
 |
| No no noooo not this bs to the best girl of the show man, what the hell. |
| When I saw them shopping for a new hairpin, I was 100% sure someone was going to die. I was actually expecting Nagomi to get shot, or being about to get shot but saved by Ranko at the very last second, at cost of Ranko's life. They both share the post of my favorite character for this show, so seing Ranko die was actually sad. Can't even believe that people are still complaining about characters suddenly dying after 11 episodes. You should be used to it by now. Guess maybe people are shocked because it was one of the main characters, but it follows everything the anime have been doing the entire season. Ever since Nagomi started talking about changing everything without killing people some episodes ago, I had a feeling that Ranko's death would be needed for her to change and... I guess this might be it. Would be cool if her first and last bullet would be to end all of this crazy maid mafia thing. Though, considering how this show developed until now, she never shooting until the end because "Ranko would not wish for this" might fit it better. |
| I figured we were gonna have a main character death when the conflict with the head maid got resolved so easily but I wish it was anyone else |
| Ranko nooooooo. Wtf man!! She dead?... :) |
| I don't understand why so many writers wants to kill the main protagonists so bad, ruining their story. Building Nagomi character?!??! The maid that kills her looks like axolotl maid group . |

| With this disturbing turn of events the meters are reading Squeepig 4.85 as the continuum continues to collapse. Winter season is off the charts in top quality story and the stability of the squuiverse is quickly rupturing On a side note, I do hope the next episode is called Maid Rising. (Incase you don't get the reference: Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku) |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Biggest L of the fucking season. Not even the series...of the Fall 2022 season. Unless something incredible happens in episode 12 I will be lowing this anime from a 9 to a 3 making it my biggest change in score ever. Fucking giving the best fucking character such a disrespectful death is embarrassing. ARGUABLY she's been carrying this entire anime. If you're going to kill Ranko make it fucking exciting. Not some revenge bullshit (Look at @Piromysl post.) Have her go out in a blaze of glory, or make it cool, OR MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! (which next week could explain it) But fucking this is irritating. And I am actually fuming over this ending. Why would Uzuko send someone to kill her at the end after she was like "why would I go to the Pigsty?" she committed to her decision. Fuck man. |

| Surely she didn’t just died like that wtf? They better get revenge or pull some miracle bs in the final ep ahhhh… |
| Fun Things Are Fun - Yui Hirasawa |
| Now, I need some revenge in the final, you can't kill Ranko without consequences. |
   |
| That's something Tarantino would do, i don't know if i should praise them for having balls to kill off best girl, or be angry for killing best girl? |
| Nagomi vengeance episode incoming; I didn't think Ranko would make it, but the stabbing surprised me a little. |
| "Genki is Life, Genki is Love" |
| r.i.p ranko..😢 |
 |
| That last scene though ;( She went through so much pain and it seemed like we were marching on to the good ending.. RIP best girl. She lived her life as a maid for damn sure 🙌 I wonder if the head lady was involved in this one too? Will Nagomi have her revenge? It's been another tough loss for her :/ |
