well, it's the most visually interesting episode
started off really rocky with nauseating camera work, but i like the flair of han's techniques a lot

it feels like they are covering a too much ground in such a short time, though

Best of the aired episodes.
Awesome animation, Beautiful friendships. Kudos to MAPPA.

That said, Daewi's reasons for being ruthless were completely predictable and conventional...
GoH is like this overall.

This anime showed so much promise, so sad combats are just flashy moves that don't make much sense and poor animation.

Solid entertainment. The emotions both put into the fight were amazing. The flashy moves were againg way over the top but visually well done.

Sadly, I was really bummed out when seeing the scenes with different art style. The style was good but the transitions were so sloppy, I thought the video was still buffering.

Maybe "poor" is too harsh, but it's nothing exceptional for high speed combat anime, also the close-up "camera" angles (I guess they were trying to imitate a real camera, which seems stupid in an anime imo) are not doing it any favors.

All these people saying it was disappointing or ok... Bruh you don't know what a good episode is. This episode was the best by far. 10/10. 11/10 for the feels.
I'm legit curious what a good episode and show is for them.

i find the fights really boring including this episode's but the animation in this one especially is amazing.

i love the calligraphy(?) bit when they were fighting that was a nice touch then the comic-like art after - made it slightly more enjoyable.

actually, in original webtoon, they do explain how the azure dragon, azure dragon kick and other moves "work"( still doesnt make senses though..) but they skipped all those explanations and lot of details of original webtoon.. sadly..lol

Damn this episode was wild. I didn't really feel anything regarding the death of Han Daewi's friend since we didn't know him for too long, and the flashbacks they inserted came at a point where it was too late to get me to care more, but other than that issue this was a pretty good episode. The fight between Jin and Han was exciting and entertaining all the way through, and of course the animation continues to be great.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

That was the best episode so far imo! It was packed with emotion and there was some great character development, but the fighting and incredible animation didn't drop either.

I felt so sorry for Daewi; if his friend had been able to hold on just a few hours more then he could've been saved. At least he isn't alone; he has two new friends who support him and care for him the same way his old pal did. I can't wait for the next arc!

Mori vs Daewi

You I really wonder as to why Daewi be that kind to Seungtae to the point that he even works a couple of jobs just to pay for his treatment, when it should be Seungtae's parents who should be paying for his medical bills??? If it;s to settle a score then that is just a dumb analogy....Somehow, I'm starting to think that Daewi and Seungtae were Yaoi lovers.

The stylized fight was NOT something I saw coming, but holy crap was it dope. I very much enjoyed the fight, and the ending of it got me weirdly emotional.

The pacing of this show seems pretty fast, so I'm actually surprised at how emotionally invested I am in all the characters given how quickly everything moves.

I'm excited to see what the new characters joining the cast will be like since there seems to be a heavy hint of that at the end.

Infinitely better than the previous episode.

The fight animation and choreography was stellar this episode, especially that final ink-style sequence.
Unfortunately I still think the story is terrible, and I find it hard to care about any of the characters.

It might just be how awful last week's episode was, but this one wasn't half bad.
(The pacing is still waaaay off though, they really need to rein it in)

While this was better than the previous episode and the fight between the two was good, the backstory and flashbacks didn't manage to do anything for me. And even though the fights look good because of the animation, especially when the style changed in the middle, but the moves and choreography itself hardly makes any sense.

Visually, this was a really great episode. Fight choreography was terrific and the directorial choices such as changing to that ink style were really well done. However, this keeps hitting a few too many cliches for me, which dampens my experience a bit.

So now I have to wonder with the preliminary tournament over, will Han and Mira get a chance to fight again? Are they permanently on the sidelines? I'm sure they'll be fighting again in some capacity.

This was a big disappointment. The fight was drawn out way too long to the point no moves/blows meant anything, especially if they just get up casually. This isn't helped by the addition of nanomachines which remove any finality or danger to the fights.

Yelling 'FINAL STANCE' 'BE ALL AND END ALL STANCE' '4TH STANCE! THE MOVE TO END ALL STANCES'
and then watch the characters just hop back up and fight for another 20mins kills the excitement and removes any weight to their actions.

Its also not consistent, one time everyone intervenes because the fighter raged and used a Stand as if something can be done in a match that could be fatal. The next time the main character does a kick that RUPTURES CONCRETE SLABS spanning 100metres and Dawei faints for 2secs after blocking it.

I was so hyped for this but its not panning out as i hoped.

another "meh" episode. Started to like it once the fight started with finally what i would call good animation... but then they proceed to show that trash ass flashback, like i am supposed to care for those characters after they have barely been established. Nop.

the black & white calligraphy thing was unique but not to my taste, although objectively creatively and done well.

Still, if you fucking rush a show like this and shit on characterization, dont flippin insert such an empty flashback that conveys nothing for the majority of the watchers. Just cut it out and show full on fight

6/10 overall show still a 5

Daewi's friend didn't make it, RIP!

Was a pretty great battle, loved the stances and the other moves! Some really nice animations styles being used this episode, especially towards the climax of the battle when Daewi started to smile during the battle, that was gold! He lost a very dear friend, but he gained two new ones!

Mori absolutely destroying that arena, holy shit XD

Quite an emotional episode!

An okay episode I guess. Compared to what has come out in the last 3 weeks, I suppose this looks like the Mona Lisa, but it's not really the best. I did like the different animation styles during the fight, but even that wasn't nearly to the level of other animation type switches that have been done (ie. Mob Pyscho, etc.) The pacing was aight with the flashbacks and whatever, but basically everyone already knew the backstory anyways, so they didn't add much. I guess they served to slightly flesh out the relationship of Daewi and his friend, but even that wasn't handled very well. This is not even mentioning the nakama power bullshit that mira pulls out to get daewi to get back to fight against jin.

Ah, whatever. Breaking down the mediocrity of this has no meaning anyways because everyone is only here for fights anyways.

Well I'll say it again : this show doesn't deserve this hype.
WTF about last Mori's move?! It just remind me Medeka Box. They just find a way to make the MC win. It just like "oh crap I can't win by my own let's just copy his technics ! I've never seen his technic before but it's ok I can use it even though I'm injured ! You know why? Because I'm the MC".

The fight wasn't epic. Epic fight last longer than one episode. People should stop overrating things. That's why I can't enjoy this show because it clearly not what people want to say about it

A definite improvement from last week. We got some fights, yay. But because of the rushed pacing of the previous 4 episodes, none of what happened had any emotional weight. Hope they take their time in the future to build the relationships of the main characters and start laying down a solid core for the story. At the moment I don't really care about anything that is happening.

I like the animation and the fights choreography but honestly storywise some parts don't make sense to me... Like, daewi had completely lost his head bcs of his friend's condition on last week's ep, which made him do that to Mira, and now he suddenly receives the news his bff has died but he is suddenly able to smile and enjoy the match a moment later, even tho his best buddy has just died? Daewi reaction just doesn't look realistic to me, even if there was some kind of letter, it so feels so forced, anyone would have been super devastated or shocked for a long time, this writing doesn't make any sense to me and it's not consistent with last week 's scenario

This series is so annoying because it could be so good. Fighting tournaments and super powers could be so amazing, and the energy of the fights is good, but they fail at everything else.

The fights are terrible because there is no logic or reason to them. There isn't the typical mental strategizing going on, I suspect because there was no thought to any strategy in these fights. They just do moves for a while, and then without reason they use a super move once. Then the other fighter uses their super move once. Then maybe they will use another super move, but there is no explanation of if it uses energy, or why don't they keep using the super moves.

So other then some mindless, but energetic and fun fights, whats left but trash story telling, unlikable characters, and the worst character designs I have ever seen. The noses and ears are so appalling it makes me hate the series.

Am I in the minority for not liking this show? I dunno I just can't get behind it.

I mean they introduced the Brazilian jiu-jitsu guy, who looked pretty interesting (design wise) but Jin Mori just crushed him immediately. These are the semifinals, why was this dude just thrown aside??? Why wasn't he introduced properly?

This episode had no punch either. That dude said "Sorry, but I've never thought of you as my friends!" and I honestly felt nothing because the main three don't even really have a bond. They feel like strangers forced into the roles of being friends.

I do like Han Daewi a bit more now though...and the fight scene between him and Jin Mori was kinda cool.

It's so funny to see an Anime without any kind of build up and/or conclusion. It's just scene after scene, after scene, after scene...until they run out of scenes and the Episode is over. Feels more like watching a speed up Compilation than an actual Story ...
but hey, the Animation alone seems to save it for a lot of people.

The writing just lacks the basics for me.
Like building up the fight (Daewi vs Mori) at least a little bit would've done so much in terms of tencion or excitement. Every episode we are basically reminded that these 2 are destined to be buddies for Life (for no reason...) But now they have to fight! What a great Moment for some inner conflict and self reflection, you'd think ...--> Yet everything in this Show just jumps to the climax, asap.

They literally cut to the ring and Mori is like "Hey, you beat up this girl I just met the other day. How dare you?" (I still don't understand why the 3 of them are *Friends* btw)
And the fight starts. It's so mindless.

It's like someone wanted to write a really cool Story about a great Friendship , but didn't really bother to actually set up the stucture for it to feel legit.

Much better than last week, while the first fight went pretty much instantly, at least Mori vs Dwei had the propper pacing.

The last episode, while fun, had left me a slight bit worried. I was all too impressed with the pacing or the resolution, but this episode is a fantastic step in the right direction.

We get further insight into Daewi's backstory that was badly needed. While not a bad character, his introduction and role in the last four episodes was a bit lackluster.

ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE ANIMATION IN THE FIGHT??

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looked as if some of the animation was glass painted animation and goodness it was gorgeous. I'm beginning to build up some hype once again for this show.

how the piss is daewi not dead after jin's hit literally DESTROYED THE RING. HOW IS THE ONLY THING VISIBLY DAMAGED ON HIM HIS SHIRT.

also what is up with that fruit jin ate, what did that actually do to him

anyways, this one was better than whatever the last episode was but it still felt kinda rushed. the ending of the last episode should've been fleshed out more so that everything that happened here mattered more. maybe the marriage thing could've been ignored idk

Epic fight. Really enjoyed the mix up in the art work and styles during it too. You could really feel the energy portrayed in there moves as they battled. After I was a little disappointed in first couple of eps this story is really growing on me and it only seems to be getting wilder!

Jin vs Daewi was a great fight. Loved it.

Now that Seoul's preliminary is over, I guess we can expect more amazing fights.


I've seen people call them Mori and Daewi like every GoH fans. His grandpa' name is Taejin Jin. His name is Mori Jin. Mori being his name. Han's sister' name is also Han whatever. I've seen them being called Jin and Han like they're Japanese or mexican, but this is the FIRST time I've seen someone actually call one character "Daewi" and another "Jin" LMFAO
Can't wait for ya'll to call Mujin and iLpyo as park 1 and park 2.
Also can't wait to see people call Mira as "Yoo" LOL
