| What a ride! I loved the fact this episode delivered both emotional impact and action, plus, the plot got moved on. I'm now curious if Miranjo will join her mother on the other side...then again, Bojji's mother is too... And what did her words to Daida mean? Possible implication Bosse will soon leave to the afterlife and give his son's body back to his son? If so, I suppose the 'happy ending' for Miranjo would be that she would go to the afterlife...though, she will have some mending to do. I loved the fact Despa despaired over the fact he would die before he could use all the money he had earned and then more when he was all 'all the handsome ones survive'! Lol. xD I hope Despa, Bojji, and Kage will be alright and manage to get out of that waiting realm there at the moment. Is Ouken perhaps coming to his senses or was it just an instinct at the end when he remembered Despa's words? I can't really see Big Four being a match to Ouken as he is immortal and now that he is running along with his newfound strength...it'll be tricky to bring him down. |

| Great episode! Was also very emotional seeing Kage having to turn away from his mother as he can't die right now! And the Big Four will go up on a final stand against the immortal Ouken! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| This show should’ve finished way higher in the anime of the year rankings. Full stop. |

LockHowl said: deg said: is that the father of Despa, Ouken and Desha? a god with 3rd eye? he is right that humans due to knowledge like science can surpass gods Are you seriously asking this question? When there is a fking half episode of their backstory.. why so mad on a harmless question? did he look like Satun? because the old episode showed him in old age already and this one is his suppose younger form |
| This Big 4 team-up was hype as hell!!!!! Man I loved every second of seeing these guys fight Ouken But as for the flashback, I don't even mind that Bosse killed those villagers because honestly they deserved it, and as for the stuff in the Underworld, the feels had me crying lol....I even kinda have a warm spot for Miranjo now too TwT Great episode once again this week but that beginning part with the god/demon guy had me confused, so I wanna learn more about that person and what's going on with that stuff he talked about |
| The world between life and death is just so beautiful. That part of the episode really hit me, great stuff. The fight was amazing, really fluid. |

LockHowl said: deg said: why so mad on a harmless question? did he look like Satun? because the old episode showed him in old age already and this one is his suppose younger form Sorry I'm not trying to be mad at you rather just the question is actually super dumb cause there was quite deep and recent exposure on this. It literally says word for word their back story with absolutely zero ambiguity. It sounds like you skipped it entirely or just didn't pay any attention asking if some random ass dude who's got nothing to do with them being their father lmao. im not sure if that is Satun since they are different in looks the old and young one heck the young one got a 3rd eye |
| That little bit of fighting at the end of the episode was AMAZING, it was really good and really well done. I am very much looking forward to the continuation of this fight in the next episode. |

 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Miranjo is saved. I'm surprised to see her blushing >< The big four vs Ouken is exciting. |

| That Kage and his Mom scene was so dumb lol, Kage's Mum shouting "Your life is over, come over here", which completely goes against what she did when she was alive, sacrificing herself so that Kage can live. I thought it had to be a mirage or something of the sort, maybe a shapeshifter thing, but then she does the complete 180 when Kage realizes he doesn't want to cross over (river styx) lol. |
| I can't wait to fully hear what's the deal with Miranjo and that devil. deg said: is that the father of Despa, Ouken and Desha? a god with 3rd eye? he is right that humans due to knowledge like science can surpass gods Their father looks like this:  |

| Never thought a Shadow talking with his mother could make me feel this emotional. Damn... Excellent episode. Lots of feels in the first half and lots of action in the second one. Big Four vs Ouken was pretty hype to see and it seems there will be even more of that next week. |
| Representing Miranjo bringing Kage back from death by 'crossing the river' was brilliant. I am a bit confused as to what Kage's mother represented; was it death or was it really just his mother? Miranjo's backstory with Bosse was finally completed and we learnt a bit more about the Gods, which I assume might be a plot point for the second part. The Elite Four VS Ouken was a dope-ass fight. I didn't want it to end; I wanted it to continue, for 10 years at least. What a fight it was! Overall, a fantastic episode and brilliant use of that Greek/Roman mythology thing of Charon/Pluto crossing the river to ferry the dead. 5/5 Side note; Despa's one-liners are the best. "Have I died? After all that effort I put into saving money? I can't spend it?! No! I have quite a bit of money saved up, you know!" "The handsome really don't die." Just some of the lines in his THICC and vast inventory. |

| Can't tell my thoughts cause I'm only at episode 12 |
 POWER IS IMMORTAL |
| Hey, nice to get a great episode again. It looks this is where a lot of time and budget went. The big 4 vs Ouken was dope and Miranjo’s turn toward good was done well enough. Ouken may have regained his mind, so that would leave just Bojji vs Bosse for this season. |

| That small fight scene at the end was well animated. I think this episode wasted too much time in showing kage and his mother interaction that scene doesn't contribute anything to the overall story arc. 4/5 |
| Kage desperation eating Ouken alive not met all the expectation. He just be slayed by the Ouken. Afterall, its time for Miranjo to got her justification. So the world on the last sequence of op actually the world between life and death. As always, Despa still hilarious as i know. Kage remembering Bojji and decided to return back to living world after having the little emotional conversation with her mommy. Man, who the hell put the onion in front of my face? But its not truly the end there. Back to another story of Miranjo. Bosse feels its his mistake to left Miranjo alone then causing her mother to died. So he ended up taking the responsibility to always be on her side. Understandable. Also, Miranjo mask be broken and its sure become the beginning of her justification. Perhaps.... Look how Saitama as a god there, had a third eye and scare the heck out of people with that grimmy grin. So after those event, seems like the gods decided to return to their realm, because its not really their era to enslave human, and might be the reason and origin behind the ranking of kings. For Ouken case, the big four of the kingdom, the last bastion finally united to try to put an end to the king of sword. Bebin even arrive to make the four men formation completed. But, its not like they are having an easy battle even with 4 versus 1. Ouken, with the guidance of Despa, he had more effort to fight and easily overcome the last bastion siege. I feel like the only way to stop Ouken is Miranjo. Lets see if its actually right.... |

MiniFreeza said: I am not saying that scene wasn't emotional. It was !! But I think It wasted way too much time. Moreover I really don't understand why kage's mom want his son to come to the other side. That whole scene felt a bit awkward to me. ZXEAN said: That small fight scene at the end was well animated. I think this episode wasted too much time in showing kage and his mother interaction that scene doesn't contribute anything to the overall story arc. 4/5 You're saying that cause you basically got no heart. Also, you're wrong. It contributed to the overall story arc as the "Thanks" he gave to Miranjo, healed her humanity that lied with Daida, but also added a little emotion touch by letting Kage see and talk to his mother one last time, and get comfort in knowing she's doing fine. Now that Miranjo's not just darkness and turned the page on her sad story, she should be the key to both getting Ouken back on track (immunity lifted) and healing everyone (as we saw, she's the only one there that can heal atm as Hilling is out). We'll probably even see her smile again, as that's what Bosse wanted. So please, don't say stupid things like this again, just think before commenting. To be honest I am not emotionally invested in this show and I don't perform any deep analysis. I just expressed my overall thought regarding this episode which is allowed I guess. Moreover I can say the same thing to you ; Think twice before writing anything bro your AOT review is awful. |

| I will always say that the flashback on the second episode was stupid. This episode would have been great with more build up around the identity of Kage and how it develops a parallel with the mother of Miranjo. Anyways, the fight was extremely well done, it lacked impact but that was probably my own lack of engagement with the story |
| Really cool sakuga during the Last Bastion fight with Ouken. I expected them to focus a bit more on the Kage powerup and I thought it was a bit weird that it didn't seem to be that significant to the plot. |

MiniFreeza said: Sure, but if you don't like character development, just don't watch ? If you're just here for Sakuga, better off just watching clips on Youtube of these scenes. I'm just getting tired of these Sakuga/Action people that are here to say "OMG this was an AMAZING fight !!", and whenever they take the time to show some development, they're complaining saying it took too much time. Well go watch something else more action-wise then ? sorry to jump in, but i have to say this.. are you trying to gatekeeping someone from watching Anime? he can dislike something and still watching it. |

| those villagers are seriously sick. doing that to someone, to a CHILD and laughing it off, getting joy from it. fuckin hell no wonder bosse raged hard after that. still not on board with how miranjo ruined several peoples' lives after that tho๐๐ seeing the red demon satan thing in human form was weird lol. it being bald was kinda funny that scene with kage and his mom. he's moved on to help with bojji. the big four fighting ouken was super cool, love how they just forgot abt dying despa bojji lol |

Moreover I can say the same thing to you ; Think twice before writing anything bro your AOT review is awful. How in hell is her mom supposed to know he isn't fully dead ? Also, wouldn't that be a mom reaction to want her son back with her ? Were you expecting her to say something like "This is not your time, Kage, go back to your friends, they need you" ? Well sorry to disappoint, but this show has always been realistic when dealing with emotions, and it's only natural for a parent to want their child back. As for that scene, it took the time it took, but needed to be there. Unless freaking Annie in the latest episode of AoT that took an awful lot of time into some "talk no jutsu" that was skippable imo (or at least, could've been shortened). My AoT score and comments will stay, cause that's how i feel about this lame season. |

| All and all good but I feel this fight is getting dragged. |
TyranoTortoise said: Same here. Last few minutes looked great, but the whole fight with Ouken is way too long (including last few episodes), especially considering that he is immortal and we know fighting him in a traditional way is just useless. Ouken might as well be the main villain now with how much screentime this conflict gets.I know I’m gonna get fried for this, but I’m bored with Ouken’s immortality. I don’t like immortal characters in general, and kinda ready for something else. Love the fight scenes though. |

What do you guys think about it? edit: I'm not saying I agree or that people should demonize the series or the author for it. The jury is still out honestly, at first glance I honestly did not even think about it but some parallels are difficult to ignore. |
