I love Gris, I hope he doesn't actually die, but he's been bleeding out for so long...

Also, Rudo's power is so cool! The jinki he used in this episode is goated and has such a cool design! The backstory we got was pretty sad as well.

Very good episode. Got some solid action and more backstory for our MC to help justify him constantly being angry all the time. Feeling better about not dropping the show after the first 2 episodes. Hopefully we keep this upward trajectory going throughout the rest of the season.

Although I will add that the "He's dead! Oh wait, he's actually not dead (and likely to survive)" trope being used here is both cliche and somewhat annoying. Hopefully this doesn't become a recurring thing like some series do. Either kill your characters or don't kill them. Pretending to do it for shock value gets old fast.

It's cool to see Rico's full strength in action. Too bad the villain is going to make a comeback in the next episode.

Such a unique and gritty anime, the story is dynamic and knows what it is trying to achieve. I have a feeling Rudo's character arc is going to be insane and the commentary on our single use lifestyle is really interesting. I'm excited to see more of this show!

Rudo's transformation of that Hamsa into a protective vital instrument was beautiful, now that's a great ability.

BTW the trash talking is equally good in the dub, the villain's voice actor is great.

That was a pretty good fight, we finally learned what Rudo's skill actually is and he did great against the crazy guy.
Thought it will be interesting when it continues next times, turns out even lunatics can have intelligence.

I just knew something was going to happen to Gris. At least looks like he's still alive for now, maybe he can be saved

damn jabber looks mentally unstable and so fuckin strong when he stab himself

but from the start regto really is a main character in the story of rudo like until now everything he do he remembers regto and like we see regto really is discovered things even rudo didn't know abt himself like really a great character but I'll choose to stop using this method at everything happens bcs then it'll become cheap and bad so its better not to do a lot of this

and now to jabber this man is looking strong tfom the start he even did poison zanka and came fast to rudo and killed someone too, but with the flashback of rudo, he knows now he's giver power only works with garbage that works well and appreciated it ? idk tbh that's what I understood but he was really working good with it vs jabber but I think the next ep will be rudo taking hits and a lot of them fs

4 / 5 really enjoying gachiakuta

Jabber is a bit of a wacky fella ain’t he, but also a very deadly one, it seemed like he took out Gris so quickly but thankfully he’s still kicking, and now Rudo has an epic new power thanks to that talisman, or I guess the power is the same but the talisman has a cool power lol. And after that flashback bit and Gris’ explanation, we got a bit more detail on what Rudo’s power actually is, I think it’s pretty interesting that he’s actually drawing out the worth and not so much turning objects into weapons, it makes using Gris’ talisman feel a lot more badass.

And boy was the beatdown of Jabber fun, loved seeing Rudo knock the piss out of him, a lot of satisfying blows. Unfortunately tho, Jabber seems to have discovered a loophole in Rudo’s power, so next time we will see the battle take a different turn, I just hope Rudo isn’t about to get a beatdown of his own lol.

Amazing ep

So this is the guy with the dreadlocks, Jabber.

Not my boy Gris :(

Rudo's past is truly troubled. He doesn't deserve that. So his real power is bringing the true value of basically anything when he puts his mind to it.

Gris's vital instrument is pretty cool with Rudo, but it has its flaws.

Great beginning of this fight, animation is on point as usual.

Jabber really a crackhead lmao, now he's basically fighting unconscious.

Had to peep the dub for Jabber and damn, not only is it good, but that is a 🥷 😂

10/10

This crybaby is a slacker foul who talk too much, an entire chapter wasting time and he still hasn't killed that jerk...

Btw a neurotoxine poison supposedly kills you, hitting himself it's an stupid nonsense powerup...

I think I had too many expectations for this anime, somehow reminds me to Black Clover, but with more garbage...

I hope that Gris will be fine, otherwise Rudo's fight so far is very interesting especially to learn more about his detection and dodge jinki, though it seems like his opponent has a strat to avoid the detection

I really loved this episode! Honestly I wasn’t expecting such a great way to handle an antagonist being crazy by making it more cliche. It was like a fact that made the character shine? But I think I was more admiring that the character had a really cool design rather than most of the cast. Aside from the secretary. Moreover, this weeks episode had a bit of a flash back time consumption that plagues most shonen shows. I was excited to watch this weeks show considering it handled the other episodes with love and care I kinda found it being EXTRA cliche.

Then again, it’s talking about trash so, maybe the way it handling it is to set up for next weeks episode? Maybe! But I might be overthinking this. The show has a way of pulling the rug under your feet when you least expect it. I like that this show handles its content delivery. As if building up some sort of momentum, it makes up a cliche scene only to deliver is an unexpected joke or even a cool scene. But i tuink i havent seen enough anime to be talking about it like that

RATING

Plot: 8/10
flashvack episode

Theme: 7/10
remembering your roots, and holding your ground

Characters: 10/10
they are all cool

Ost: 10/10
i mostly liked the Op/ed

Overall: 8/10
its a set up episode so nothing to see here, well its whats going to make the next episode shine


Anyway, im FREAKING tired. BYEEE

Gris had death flags on him since the beginning, but I didn't think he would die this early on in the show. I hope he's alright in the end. He's a nice guy. Don't want to lose another important figure to Rudo again.

The fight between Jabber and Rudo was really cool. Rudo beat the shit out of him, but it's not over yet. There's still a some life left in this fight.

Cool episode but it also reminded me why I don't generally watch shonens (because I hate fight scenes lasting 20+ mins and dragging over a couple episodes). Hopefully they will resolve this quickly in the next ep. and move on with the story.

I mean, I'm sure it will work because that's a real goofy lead up if not, but the justification that whatever berserker mode he goes into won't count as intent seems like a lame loophole to me. If he really didn't have intent he'd be as likely to crash into a wall as pose any threat to Rudo.

So Rudo's power isn't about vital intruments then but rather the ability to draw out the worth of an object? So the more worth someone has for an object the more powerful the effect will be?

That classic cliff hanger timing never gets old anyway just when I thought rudo had the upper hand turns out that fight was far from finished and that jabber guy got some neat vital instrument thought it may only limited to work on humans since it's a neurotoxin

anime has to be one of the best ive watched so far. this series is amazing and i was introduced to the manga from the show, everything is so amazing. the character designs, the opening theme matches the overall vibe and aesthetic of the show, the INCLUSIVITY! so many black characters and voice actors in the show it’s absolutely amazing and to top it all off an alternative woman has been the mastermind behind this peak all this time. this series is AMAZING!

Damn it, I knew it... I knew something bad would happen to Gris. He's the typical kind-hearted secondary character who always ends up getting hurt. He's not dead yet, but it seems very likely that he will be. In a world full of trash, Gris is too pure to belong to it.

It's a shame: if Gris had become a Giver at some point, he probably would have been able to use Rudo's instrument even better. His punches are no joke.

The fight and the action were incredible, but a psychopath like Jabber isn't the type to give up easily. And it seems he's discovered the weak point of the instrument Rudo uses.

Yeah I thought that sucked as a mechanism.
