Jagh said: The necromantist power is becoming a real deus ex machina. No kidding. I say it's gotten to a point of being just ridiculous. It doesn't matter what others gonna do, cause the Rabbit will just use his "power of friendship" to override all that and make them his "friend." This episode was actually pretty good, but the whole show still feels too ridiculous for me. |
| To be or not to be... that is not the question. ;3 |
Ara_hex said: Hodor98 said: Holy sheet this is in my top 3 anime this year not including sequels!! I love the characters, and especially all that are still alive. My Predictions: 5th place: Tiger, killed my Ox. 4th place: Dragon, killed by Rabbit. 3rd place: Rabbit, killed by Ox. 2nd place: Rat, killed by Ox. Bam Ox wins. How I want it to go: 5th: Ox 4th: Rat 3rd: Rabbit 2nd: Tiger 1st: Dragon (this won't happen probably ;c) I'm pretty sure the Rat would win cuz that's how zodiac is xD, rat at the top. 2nd Ox and 3rd Tigga/Rabbit :) Yeah, but if they surprisingly do some changes, he might not. |
| Oh my! so many unexpected things happening! So captain cold is up levitating on the sky while he watches the scenes! Usagi is really getting real effective use of the twin brothen who got head chop taken down even before the match started. I'm starting to feel like the final 3 would be Usagi, Nezumi and the captain cold! lolz! Tora & Ox never anticipated that the corpse would be a real threat! both got strangled on the neck by the two cut arms! My bet is now on Usagi, but it can be over turned of captain cold is the most sly of all...But there's Nezumi, who can hide all day long! lolz! 5/5. |
 |
| as i predicted last week, the ox and the tiger will meet. that's supposed to be my highlight this ep but yeah this is the snake's ep after all¯\_(ツ)_/¯ we'll save that fight for soon it's nice to see ox getting into the danger side, he can't always be the one on the top killing rabbit is like the creepiest in this show, he's unstoppable lmao still rooting for rat :p (my bih gonna win tho) clearly tiger proposes anger towards ox, i'm on the side of tiger. but on the ed it looks like that she would be defeated by ox. ehh that's pure cancellation. |

 still life: pink roses |
| i can't stop hearing airi voice... lol some of the animation quality are dropping though... too bad man, feels so bad for Horse though, he's burned alive, and Rabbit doesn't make him his ally... but it seems Ox still give him respect... he's surprisingly a good guy is gasoline an alcohol?? lol |
 |
| The moment Shuryuu showed her derp face, I knew there was something wrong with the animation :/ The episode felt kinda boring because of that. Ox showed his other side. Even though he looked so calm, he also can get panic in an intense situation. I bet Tiger will get really angry as soon as Snake releases his hand lol. Dragon wasn't just a nickname. He actually has the ability to fly, just like the real dragon hehe. |
 |
| I enjoyed every episode except this one, this is getting repetitive Best girls are dead (boar, chicken, monkey) no one to root for now, it's obvious Rat will win at this point. That's boring Now I kinda understand the hate on Swim Swim a little bit lol |
| Rat .vs. Usagi in the finals is my prediction. Everybody clap your hands |
| I really love this show, but god damn the animation was not good this time. Compare this episode with the first one in terms of animation and it's like watching a completely different show. |
 |
| OKAY. Highlight of this episode.... RABBIT WORE A BARISTA OUTFIT BEFORE HE STRIP INTO BUNNY???? Why? Why did he strip?? LOL Like, c'mon people. He is like, the most ridiculous, the most insane, but also the most intriguing! I'm so damn curious, did he a lunatic since when? Something happened to him in his childhood? WHY DID HE STRIP. not that I don't like it but it would be awesome if they show him go from that butler outfit to half naked bunny outfit lol. (Did he strip in front of everyone??! OMG THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS LMAO) Anyway, would be pretty surprised if Ox and Tiger die just like that. I don't get how in the world the hands move on it's own after being severed from the body???? I love the little bromance between Tatsumi brothers ;D |

| How can be a battle royale be so boring? Horrible! |
| Backstory for the twins was pretty good, their "competition" was interesting. Usagi in a bartender outfit before stripping, where's the fanservice scene come on?! XD Tora seems pretty strong, since I think tiger is 3rd she could be in the top 3. Looks like first she'll have to work together with Ox, I didn't expect that Snake's arms could be used like that but I guess until the corpse is destroyed Usagi can control it however he wants. Saryuu confirmed to be on his team too, taking Horse's body out for him. Either way, Tora drinking the gasoline was pretty funny, and I guess that Ushii is using it to burn the corpse up? o_O |
| So I'm assuming Usagi can only make people his friends if he's the one that kills them right? Otherwise he would've taken Horse. Tiger's power better be regen or else that fires gonna fuck her up. I'm wondering who will kill Usagi because Tiger and Ox are right beside each other. I also have no clue what Dragon's doing up in the sky like that. |
 |
| When it first shows dragon fly in the flashback, I was like "Oh Fuck!..." Didn't actually think he could actually fly lol, but was fucking psyched he could. Another amazing ep. 9/10. One of my 2 contenders for AOT, the other one being 'Houseki no kuni' Also for those who are hating on this... Just wait until the plot twist trust me (haven't read manga or LN) otherwise, GTFO. |

This is based on a light novel. I doubt they will change anything. Most viewers have already guessed that Rat will win. |
| Well, the flashback about the twins was pretty boring. Now I don't mind, that one of them is already dead. Hopefully, the remaining twin will do a bit more before going down. How the severed arms strangled Ox and Tiger was a bit unexpected. I'm curious, what the reason for her animosity towards him is. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| I'm assuming Ox probably killed someone close to Tiger in the past, that's probably why she has such anger towards him. I thought my eyes were deceiving me but the animation quality has definitely dipped since the first few episodes. I'm still enjoying it overall but it's a shame that they couldn't maintain the opening style. |
| I think there's a second season to this, so I am pretty sure there will be a huge twist in the last episode.(maybe they will revive all the dead heroes, I think that's why they are showing backstories for all the characters) Still enjoying this more than fate, it still stays clear of the whole "Noble warrior" and moral lesson shtick |
| I'm thinking the corpses brought back by Usagi are weak against fire. Next episode the fire will save both Tiger and Ox. It would also explain why Usagi took Snake out first. He also seemed interested in his weapon. |
|
| I would like to believe that Monkey faked her death and is just playing along now. Would be ridiculous if Ox and Tiger die like that :S |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Can't believe the Monkey is dead :/ I was almost sure that she would be the top 3 xD Guess what...in this anime you can never be sure xD Rabbit continues to be the boss and Nº1, can't believe how easily he tricked Monkey. Btw why didn't he revived the Horse? Maybe the just didn't show it or maybe because he can't?...interesting. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| The score is way too high for such a plain and shallow presentation of violence! The characters are so exchangeable and are just there for the purpose of dying randomly. subtracting all the blood and the backstories written by a kid, what is left except bad taste? |

Inugirlz said: What I wanna know is why the ox couldn't have just killed the half dead zombie quickly first. He's so fast an efficient yet he had to debate on whether he had enough time to do it before he could fight the tiger? I was thinking the same thing - there's the speedy Tiger, but we also learn that 'killing' the corpse wouldn't have mattered. Ox has that realization that Rabbit's control of the dead is shockingly complete. Apparently the instructions to kill any who get in the way remains in body parts, not just the whole - the arms were acting on Rabbit's instructions independently from the body. Rabbit is super OP Also explains Rabbits insane killing ability - Rabbit has actual upside to killing, getting stronger with each kill. Of course he would be a master of the surprise attack. Each victim has relaxed just before his killing strike. Probably no surprise he focused on taking out the ranged attackers first. A sniper might be able to avoid his army and get the kill, but that strategy is likely out. |
imaginatio said: DMind said: Did you remember how instantaneously Tiger moved to kill Sheep and again in this episode to cut off one of Snake's arms. It seems Ox wasn't planning to make that mistake by leaving his back open to Tiger for even a second which is why he was thinking to himself that he can probably safely ignore the headless and armless Snake and focus his attention on Tiger who was ready to pounce on him. But of course as we find out he didn't think that the severed limbs of Snake could still move and even strangle him. See this bugged me. Both Ox and Tiger obviously have high level slashing skills (sword + claws respectively) and they know they can easily cut through the dead Snake hands, but they flail about and generally panic. Then when Ox does figure out what to do, why does he use his bloody sword to light the arm on fire instead of being all "I cut your 'hand' off, you cut mine". All I know is that Mr. Killing Expert had enough energy to beg Tiger to cooperate with him, but not enough energy to just slash the arm off him. |
WilliamBenning96 said: I'm betting on the off chance snake is somehow still alive. Nobody really knows what his ability is. If rabbit's is necromantist then snakes could possibly be living after death, or something along those lines. I am mainly looking at the moment he was about to blow himself up in the warehouse. He said he would of been just fine, which makes me think he had some sort of ability to survive death. I would be on board fully if it weren't for being able to sense monkey's bombs. That might be his ability as well (The sonar hearing or what not even after death he sensed footsteps.) It really comes down to if snake is actually dead or not. If he is dead then I can only guess who will win, if he is alive then he is going to officially die next and it will proceed in the order of the Chinese zodiac order from the story. I really hope this is true because I'm hoping rat wins it. Something about his character is just very mastermindish. That or rabbit or tiger. WHERE DID HIS CLOTHESSS GOOOO????? Nah, Snakes ability was to sense vibrations or movements by touching the ground. The corpse used it to follow and attack Rat. It also shows when he senses Monkey underground right before he dies. |

| All dragon has to do is stay flying and fight the last guy and hopefully win. 50% chance good to be him. |

His ability was given away. He died because he was distracted when he heard monkey below them at the beginning of the show. He could feel vibration and knows where people are without needing to see. That's why rabbit can use him to go places even if he didn't have his head. Rabbit hit the jackpot he can use snakes body and his head for diff purpose. I love rabbit he's so smart, strong, weird, funny and many more. I find every other character pretty boring. |
Zelev said: Symbolism of Zodiacs: Snake: Rebirth, transformation, immortality, and healing due to the shedding of their skin. Also known as a "creative life force." Boar: Defense, war, courage. Dog: Guidance, protection, loyalty, faithfulness. Chicken: A symbol of parental and spiritual love Monkey: Tails represent tools of balance and control. Sheep: Renewal, purification, compassion. Horse: A universal symbol of freedom without restraint. The irony of their deaths: Snake: He is still killing people even after his death, hence the "creativeness" and "rebirth." Boar: Her arrogance (or twisted form of "courage") did her in. Dog: He was too trusting of Chicken. Chicken: She let her birds eat her, hence the "parental love" part. Monkey: Her personality is all about peace or "control." She died because she couldn't control Rabbit/get through to him/figure him out. Everything was out of control for her. Sheep: This one is kind of a stretch, but he was old, so I guess that figures on the "renewal" part. Either that, or his "compassion" for replacing his son in the war ended up killing him. Horse: He died in a barricaded room with no escape. Pretty awesome post. |
| The ending was a bit confusing. Was setting fire like that really planned. The brother's backstory was uninteresting. |
 |
I guess since we have episode 8 out and over with, I can respond to this without giving spoilers. In the LN, when Ox was figuring out what to do, it is written as 'He couldn’t stab Snake’s hand when it was firmly against his throat. No matter how superior his natural skill with the saber, if he struck from that angle he risked cutting his own neck.' |
| God damn, they just all need to team up and kill Usagi already. |
 |
| Well done. Despite that one unfitting fire effect. |
| And still, Bill will live on. He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god. And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living, until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet. Until the sun is long since gone. Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open. Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from. He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out. |
groovykirito said: i feel like ox couldve easily gotten out of that situation but he just wanted a chance to kill tiger conveniently. or maybe im overthinking it That seems likely. |

WolfWood37 said: God damn, they just all need to team up and kill Usagi already. Yes, the only logical solution. But for some reason nobody is even targeting him. WTF? The longer it goes the stronger he gets. Monkey was the biggest retard. She could have rekted Rabbit, but she was trying to persuade him. A psycho guy that can barely talk. This anime and logic. |
| It's really comical that Dragon was just up in the air flying this whole time... I would actually be fine with Rat winning if it's a neat ability or something, but highkey Usagi is OP af. That crazy bastard might just win it all. |
 |
| I get a feeling that Rat will end by end of this. For 2 reasons, he remains rather mysterious and somehow avoids fighting and secondly. Somehow almost every character has "deja vu" feeling out of him.. which probably has some sort of meaning. Sad Monkey died tho. I liked her. |
