| A cliffhanger ending.. , the show just keeps getting better with every episode. Guess now Gabimaru and the other prisoner is going to duel to death. Can't wait for the next episode. |
| This is themed like the walking dead but, instead of zombies we have animal human hybrids. |
| Sagiri is really a good character. She represents the limits of human existence in an unreal world filled with monsters. I really liked that she stood up to the chauvinistic clan man and tmade clear to him that she's more than just a womb to carry on the family line. It seems he won't live long enough to make her change her mind either, lol. |

| the sexist fucker getting ripped was the only thing good about this episode and well the bonding (idk if we can call it that) between gabimaru and sagiri. pretty average episode again. this is the true overrated anime. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I like the dumb blond guy and black-haired girl duo, their chemistry already seems the best between a criminal and an Asaemon so far. Death flags all around though. That one guy who kept telling Sagiri to go back and repeating that she should just bear children as her responsibility as a woman was so annoying, glad he's most likely going to die. I was going to flip a table if he said the word "woman" one more time. Sagiri got some character development. An okay episode overall. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Not a lot of action this week. A character driven episode with some great development for Sagiri. Gabimaru has been an amazing influence on her and likewise. They form a perfect partnership and I like how it’s been just platonic/respect based instead of the two of them getting flustered and shit We smoking that Genji pack tn, fuck that misogynist loser. Sagiri stealing his weapon was dope and then big dude literally tearing his mid section off was epic. It raises the question tho if the island is surrounded by monsters how tf did they get that one dude back to the shogun who turned into flowers .. |
 |
| Anemic production values this week :( |
| I always enjoy reading how slash shippers sing about the platonic relationship between a male and female character and then run off looking for "subtext" in any same sex relationship, immediately forgetting everything they wrote the first time. This anime is a classic example of this. |
 |
| cant believe the giant guy killed him the giant guy is invincible i wonder how will that turn out also i would like to take time to appreciate how deep the characters are they all have a story all have goal this is the part i like the most about this anime |
 |
| wow good speech from yamada in the end. Nice. I liked this episode, the two new characters are also likeable. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| This island is getting more and more eerie every episode, considering we still don't know just how big the island is. The chill camping moments are going to be comfy at least. |
| Another good episode with this one more focused on character development and introducing 2 more characters. I thought that Nurugai was a guy until the beach scene lol. Hopefully she survives since she really didn't do anything wrong (I know she lead the samurai to her village but her intention was to help). The conversation between Gabimaru and Sagiri was nice and they are helping each other out as I thought they would. That giant that came out of nowhere at the end, damn. It looked like that giant attacked Genji after Genji took a swing at Sagiri so maybe he'll be fine but hopefully he won't go after Sagiri next. |
| I'm glad that Sagiri stood up to Genji even though what he said wasn't wrong considering the fact that this story takes place in the Edo period which was ruled by the samurai government that is the Tokugawa shogunate. Women during that time didn't have a prominent place in society other than giving birth to children and in Sagiri's case she was an outsider for being a woman born into a samurai family and the daughter of an executioner which didn't allow her to make any friends. It was poetic justice that Genji was killed by the same criminal that killed her mentor who also doubted Sagiri so I liked how that conflict between Sagiri and Genji played out. I already started shipping Tenza and Nurugai after escaping from the Tentacle monster(the bane of my existence lol.) and I had a feeling that Nurugai is a girl. |

| All characters that shown in the OP song are amazing. In this episode finally introduce the other two characters~~~ and they both are so cute together ~~~ just too bad she's still a kid... So I can't really ship them both to the fullest yet.. Kishou tried to go back home but got sting by the butterfly instead? Bad luck for him. Sagiri is strong after all, she is just lacking of confidence... Sure she is a woman but who cares if she want to be a Samurai, she still can bare a child soon if she survive in that island. There he goes, dead by the invincible huge criminal after busybody with Sagiri being a 'woman' .. so, how will Gabimaru and the gang kill this invincible dude? Can't wait for the next episode then~~ |

| I felt this episode was okay just wasnt as much action compared to the previous episodes |
 "Don't give up after failing just twice. We'll be able to do it next time. Failure is the stepping stone to success." |
| Looks like no one’s leaving the island… yet another big problem the samurai & prisoners now face is how the hell they’re going to leave! I feel like Sagiri is facing very real world issues in this fantastical setting. She has two roles that are conflicting within her; the role of a woman and the role of a samurai and how these two very contrasting roles can both be a part of her. Glad to see Tenza & Narugai take the stage! They have a great relationship and there’s just something I particularly love about Tenza… probably how he lets his emotions dictating his actions where most samurai bury them down deep. |

thebrentinator24 said: It must have been Misogyny Monday the way Genji was talking down to Sagiri and encouraging her to leave because this is "too much for a woman." Love that she found some new resolve after a surprising heart-to-heart with Gabimaru. Trouble shows up at the end, but I'm glad Rokurota got Genji out of the way lol, RIP bozo you won't be missed. The cut to Nurugai and Tenza's dilemma was good too. Tenza is an idiot but he has a good heart, not wanting to see a little kid get executed. Lol at the gender confusion. Slower episode this week but still good. I mean, calling him a sexist is a cheap copout. I will say he was pushing it a bit too much, but he did have good reason. Even the other Samurai was in agreement. She was showing a lack of resolve, and her inexperience on the battlefield was telling. As for the baby stuff, it's not unreasonable given the context of the story. |
| a bit of simple philosophies and a lot of personal growth this episode. part of it feels like a story straight out of H. P. Lovecraft although he was never as good at characterization. also i'm more surprised that guy never noticed she was a girl and i like her simplicity like "i'm nakey so what" lol. i have a feeling we'll have some romance and a lot of good growth from them. |

| That's what you get for being sexist, Genji-dono. |
| Genji was getting on my nerves with all that bs. To make matters worse, he steps out of line by attacking Sagiri, then hides behind his rank after shamefully losing his sword to someone he treated as inferior. Peak maidenless behavior right there. Good riddance. |
| that giant guy might actually be the last boss bros, i mean he literally one-shotting all these strong-looking characters mannnn |
 |
| I like how both guys who trash-talked Sagiri got one-shoted by Rokurota. Rokurota is not listening to this crap. Rokurota is the GOAT. |
| Gabimaru finally decided to be honest with himself... he needs to lay low after the chaos. Yuzuriha and Sagiri are beautiful as always, and the Yamada clan memories were decisive to the young samurai's choice. |

Roch2001 said: Loved it. But this eps was chock full of the inescapable creep of US cultural output which screams, consume more or die What does this even mean? |
 |
| the goat tenza is here along with nurugai and her gender reveal lmao. bro at the end really got one shot, no diffed. |
 |
| Pedo shit, but besides that, a solid episode. |
| Ok this ep was ok Not a big deal but no bad deal Was mid i think but that's not the thing WTF THAT END So sad but how i said previously MAPPA works like that killing some good characters (THAT WAS INCREDIBLE HIDDEN, THE GENDER OF THAT TRAP) |
 |
| Dropped. 5 episodes is more than enough of this trash. This show stinks. It doesn't even look good outside of the opening. What happened there? This show has neither a good story nor good animation. It has nothing going for it. There's around 15 different characters and not a single one has had any sort of interesting backstory, personality, or motivation shown so far. NOT A SINGLE ONE. I don't care at all about Sagiri's struggles. One second it's that she's haunted by the ghosts of people she has killed, the next it's her daddy issues, and now it's that she struggles with society disapproving of her being a woman with a sword. All three are BORING. It's just very shallow stuff. And, I don't even understand this Genji idiot. Spends half the episode begging her to get off the island on a boat because she's a woman, but when she refuses he tries killing her? Wtf? Why waste your time bugging her to leave if you're just gonna murder her? So dumb |
| so the conservatist sexist guy got owned, that's about all that was interesting in this episode. Let's pick up the pace a bit, please. My eyes were closing while watching this. |
 |
| The pacing of that episode 🤦♂️ |
| Hopefully that absolute unit of a man with the mask doesn't die next episode, why can't there be more tanks that are respected by writers in anime? |
