| Man, I loved this episode. That fight was amazing to watch and that moment between Nanbu and Aragaki afterwards was really great. Next week can't come soon enough. |

| Great episode.Joe barely won this.Also Aragaki's true motive really touched my heart.We can easily imagine how strong Yuri and the new guy will be. |
 |
| I'm kinda glad the fight ended in a forfeit. I was rooting for both of them. It was both epic and difficult to see them fight. I really hope we'll see more of Aragaki later on. 5/5 ! |

I mean it's boxing, what do you expect, MHA super hero fights? It's about emotion not the fights itself, try looking deeper. |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Probably aots for me. This series is just something else. Props to Aragaki, this was probably the best way the fight could ended. |

| I loved it! We got some amazing fighting and lots of great character moments. I like that they gave Joe's opponent so much characterization beforehand, this really felt like an exciting match. |
VanishingKira said: Second half of the fight when they were beating the shit out of each other was intense,too bad it ended in a forfeit. A forfeit was the only way it was going to end, especially if you pay attention to Aragaki legs. The fact he can't walk at the end was basically the final straw. |
| Kinda had doubts about this anime when Joe started bodying all those random boxers, but this episode really makes up with great character that is Araragi. Hope we see more interesting characters like him soon, shame it's only 13 episodes |
| Every bit as epic as I'd expected it to be. Fantastic! And had it's share of feels, suspense, rage, regret, and whatnot. This is shaping to be quite the battle. Can't wait! |

UImoetard said: Not really a fan of yet another protagonist with high durability. His fighting in underground doesn't explain it either. Aragaki has been boxing for years and definitely taken heavier beatings from top boxers, while Joe was fighting with 2nd-rated boxers underground with 2nd-rated gears. It simply doesn't make sense Joe and Aragaki could fight blows for blows at the end, especially when Aragaki has a gear and Joe got injured badly from previous rounds. Unless you want to defend it with Aragaki's punches are weaker towards the end due to his legs. From the looks of it, Aragaki is probably giving Joe his old gear. Wonder would Joe change his title since he wouldn't be "gearless" anymore. That was some bullshit cop out with Joe's durability. Gearless Joe fighting gearless with top contenders fucks up how the Megalo Box world has been built. Like I've said before I think Joe should have fought with half a gear on his right arm to justify going toe someone like Aragaki or he should have fought more on the defense dodging and blocking like a Mayweather, Lara or Tyson Fury. I'll give the protagonist the benefit of the doubt, technically he lost the bout with Aragaki as the former collapsed on the mat after Aragaki forfeited the fight. |

| I was on the edge of my seat the whole fight This show keeps getting better and better each week holy shit |

|
| Damn i love this show so much, nothing is over top, agaraki had a valid reason to forfiet and it was shown that joe would have not lasted too much longer anyways, i love how vunerable he feels making each match so tense, dont know how he will compete with the pros without any gear, i am a bit worried |

EnvyKills said: this is what is great and wierd about this series, its more "realistic" nothing is over exagurated, i know what u mean tho but its same in real boxing..a lot of punches dont seem heavy but do have an effect on body of boxerI can't help but feel a bit disappointed. I feel no real weight or impact behind the punches. idk, something feels off |
|
| Fucking awesome episode, Gearless Fuckin Joe mannnnn |

| I am not a big shounen fan, still I love this anime!! |
| Thats what u call a mf dog fight BABYYYYY. Most alpha thing so far this season. Key words: "so far" |
| Aragaki is a badass. And I think he would've won if he still had his legs. A badass nonetheless. |
| MC's not particularly enticing. Can't really root for him at all, especially when they built up his opponent fairly well like this time. Fight itself was ok. Not sure I like the show that much though |
| loved the reconciliation scene it was quite touching |
| Nice ep as always, has 8.44 for the 6th ep, I wanna see if the high score stays after the anime end :) |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| I cant be the only one who thought the animation sequence was insane right? The two of them brawling it out was so fluid. The body motion so smooth and the camera panning. WOOOOWZ https://78.media.tumblr.com/6c335be81a7ec408a887bdc001870039/tumblr_p8jd4dSvKO1v8lyn7o1_400.gif |

| I guess so, wasnt it like 8.6 at the very beginning? I'm don't really remember |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| Epic music, an excellent fight and the end was interesting to say at least. Looks like Megalo Box is showing some dope stuff. |

It hasnt been going down? Lowest it ever was was 8.33. It went down like .2? Big deal. Once the ending hits us in the feels it's going to be an 8.50+ |

I mean it's boxing, what do you expect, MHA super hero fights? It's about emotion not the fights itself, try looking deeper. If you felt no emotion during the fight, especially with the build-up from last ep and flashbacks this episode, you were not paying attention or are a sociopath. The fighters have to yell their move before attacking, right, typical shounen watcher? Methinks you're trolling with the no animation comment. Why are you watching this if you seem to dislike it so much btw? |

Once the ending hits us in the feels it's going to be an 8.50+ It has, it used to be at 8.47 but now it's 8.44 and while it's not a much difference it's still the first decline, previously each week it gained. |

I think it's because people wanted a KO, even though a forefit is the much better outcome and more realistic. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Sheesh, they just wailing on each other, by the end it was just an endurance contest to see who could take the most punches... It was glorious. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| The fights feel pretty formulaic, wherein Joe gets his ass handed to him the first half and then rises up in rounds 3/4. Still, it didn't stop me too much from enjoying the episode. Interested to see what the next episode is like. |
I just have to say... M A N L Y T E A R S |
| incredible episode 😲😍 |
