This episode as a whole is simply one of the reasons why I have so much admiration for Maki.

@LunaBright The guy's exaggerating af The series had a normal ending, but there could have been two more chapters. Due to constant breaks and Gege's health, a lot of chapters were lost anyway. Nowadays, every shounen ending is hated by manga fans, and then it turns out that when it's anime, everyone wonders why it was hated. First SNK, then MHA, Bleach is turning around... so it's better to form your own opinion. But I agree that something really went wrong with Oshi no Ko, lol.

@smLvac and this season Hell's Paradise is also coming out with very good quality.How do they do it? The only positive thing is that they seem to have better working conditions and better schedule.but still...it must be hard for them

I really liked the episode, but I have to say that I didn’t like the animations in some parts. Especially during the black-and-white fight, the characters often looked very poorly drawn to me.

For me the animation in episode 2 was a a lot better.
@Nashy yeah it was just bad. but still fun to watch :p

The only thing that made me slightly disappointed in ep4 is that Maki didn't torture those pieces of shits before killing them, especially her father. I wished he completely realised he lost against the failure he thought about. And about what happened in the beginning of the episode, it wasn't 18+ right??

No. Naoya is just stumping on her

Fights felt to quick and, I thought the reflection of Toji was badly made and didnt hold enough value like it did in the manga.

Can someone remind or explain to me what "disappearance reaction" means?

Great action episode and I love Maki but I agree with a couple others here in that I felt very little investment in what was happening. I know the clan people were being spiteful assholes and I didn't expect them to all get wiped out like that so it was a little surprising but not all that satisfying.

Mai's death/sacrifice was...fine, I guess? Did she create the sword? I get how the twin thing works now that I read the explanation here in the comments but it was pretty poorly executed in the episode imo. Same with the comparison to Toji and character motivations overall. She killed the people who attacked her but why did she kill her mother? It seemed more implied that she was trying to stop her because she knew her dad was waiting there.

I know she's a complete powerhouse now and so obviously she would demolish the rest of the clan but it would've been nice to see more buildup or have her sweat a little bit, maybe not used to new power or something like that.

Also I don't dislike esoteric and symbolic direction but there was just a little too much back and forth of it in this episode for my liking; the narrator explains some things and others get symbolic exposition instead and the contrast is just a little jarring.

Holy— After watching One FPS Man last season I know why ppl were so mad now.

That episode was amazing. Went old school black and white Japanese down to the blood spurt animations.

That entire episode was some art. If this is any indication on how the rest of the season will be produced. We’re in for mf TREAT

Honestly, I'd put the animation quailty on par with One Piece Episode 1114, which is where Garp does the galaxy impact.

But does anyone else think that the 5 chapters adapted in this episode were inspired by the Uchiha Massacre from Naruto.

The episode was full thrill and intense fighting and had a high development for maki and made it very clear about how mai's wish had to be fufilled

@Tigerbread217 Nah, it has a more realistic feel to it. It perfectly captures Ogi’s refusal to acknowledge his own daughter, imagining Toji standing IN Maki’s place (instead of side by side).

Amazing fight and an amazing episode, honestly they spent budget well and it's even better than it was in the manga (especially considering the first ver. of the chapter wasn't even finished with sketch drawings and stuff).

RIP Naoya Zenin. Unlike Shinji Mato, I liked to hate this guy PLUS he could actually throw hands instead of covering behind his servants.

They went the funnier route then the two first episodes in term of pace and suspense - Action scenes were very god and it really showed that nig names work on the episode - felt kinda short with all the action pact in this one though conclusion is Maki is one hell of a trump card Iwonder if she'll have a big role in the culling game or even before

Cool Kill bill reference and the ambiance when Mai gave her life was vicious

Not going to lie but this episode made me understand moré about Mai, at first, I was neutral with her character, but she went with a bang, really good for her.

The episode was great can´t add more than what others have already written in here. My only slight disappointment comes from the ost, I was expecting something dark but well that it's just on me, I see many have the same feelings as me others like the route MAPPA took and that its ok, not going to take points just because personal preferences.

My boy Hakari and my girl Kirara are appearing next episode, so I am hype.

i like how maki looks in the anime compared to the manga but disliked how they did the toji comparison panel and built up to the naoya punch was so sick, just for the freeze frame after the punch to ruin it. that was so odd. they should've left you feel the impact of the punch. it's funny how that naoya bum refers to toji and gojo so respectfully but overall, overhyped episode.
