| Another episode with amazing fight scenes. Why don't people ride the Shinkansen in this show? :-| Anyway, can't wait for the next episode to know more about those siblings. |
| A good episode, I liked the action and laughed too with Brawler's wackiness. |

| That cat is actually... Some kids?! I thought the cat was gonna be a hottie like Yoruichi... Smh |

| The paper cutout intermissions are really annoying. They not only get into the way of the action, but the information they give us could also easily be deduced from what we've been shown so far or told in a more subtle way that wouldn't disrupt the pacing. I hope the kitty comes back. A cute but cheeky black cat is better to watch than an expressionless creepy kid. |
 |
| The plot armor for some of the characters annoyed me (Why wouldn't the crazy doctor just kill the executioner with her syringe?), but man the setting and general mystery are so engrossing. |
 |
| y'allllll this show gets better and better, i had the same reaction as swindler when they opened the vault!! "children?!" i can't wait for more, this is definitely the beginning of an intense plot! also, i love the little moments where members of the team have banter, like swindler chastising cutthroat for not fighting the executioners and the little scene after the ed where doctor gives brawler first aid- it's so cute!! i know they're all deadly criminals in it for the money, but i can't help but want them to become friends lolol |

| What an action-packed episode, I wonder who those 2 kids are and why they were traveling through the Shinkansen. |
 |
| looks like the only one that could go toe-to-toe with Execution Division Master is Cutthroat & Brawler huh... so many stylish acts! maybe those 2 kids are forbidden existence that's why they're so elusive! now that i thought about it Apprentice is cute! 5/5. |
 |
| Best episode thus far for me.Fight was on point 5/5.It's just really sad that not many people are watching this show,it desirves more love for sure! This is my anime of the season. |

| This episode was a lot of fun with a lot of over the top fight scenes. So inside the vault is what seems to be a pair of children with special abilities. They must be very important to for them to be shipped all the way to Kanto. Something tells me that things in Kanto are not what it seems to be. |
 |
| Fine episode. Feel kinda bad for Pupil tho. Also if the kids planned all this from the start to escape why were there 2 bomb collars for Swindler and Hoodlum? Did they have spares haha ?! |
| Stupid episode, full of asspulls and nonsense. |
 |
mugiwararobin said: is there a manga of this? No. This is an anime original. |
|
| This show gets better and the action is so slick! Just love these characters and how they unconventionally gel together and have great chemistry. Plotwise or not... you cannot help but watch these guys doing their thing forever... they are such a bunch of fun to watch. Brawler and Hoodlum working off with each other in the fight scene with Executioner. |
 |
| So here's some food for thought... if the decontamination zone purges all organic matter, why are there even passenger cars on the Shinkansen? What happens to the passengers? The next episode being titled Dead Man Walking is concerning, considering it's a movie about someone's execution. |
 Explaining my scoring system would take more than 650 characters. |
| This series is so over-the-top and I like it for that. It's not getting any points for logic or well-executed storylines but damn is it entertaining. But I have to admit, this show wouldn't even half as entertaining if not for the badass animation and artstyle. The story isn't that original but hopefully, they keep this momentum up to the end. |
| It was a really good episode, I only have one question. If no one can travel by the shinkansen because they would die then why was there a robot voice and an infromation screen announcing the shinkansen's location and when will it reach its destination? Like... Why was this system even made? Exactly who was supposed to hear and see these informations lmao? |

| Another crazy and thrilling episode. Never thought that the vault would contain two kids. Now I wonder how things will go from here. |
 |
| The doctor lady sure is hot, but they continue to give her awful dialogue. Not sure what's going on with those kids. And RIP kitty. |
| ok so the vault contains this 2 children that have super powers it seems |
| Amazing fights. Amazing stuff and everything was amazing. Absolutely lovin' this show. |
 |
| I was right, I think. We were looking for the cat's real body. He was too scared of dying despite being a robot, so it was obvious yet intriguing. |
| This was really thrilling episode, they nearly die there but at least they succeed. To think that the cat was inside on that vault really interesting, we got a new characters that are weird but interesting. |
 |
| That was epic. Drunken binge watch incoming!!! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| I don't know why but I had a got feeling that the vault would contain a body or something similar, my guess was not that much wrong, I wonder if they can reach Kanto now and see what this special city is all about, it might be worse than Kansai. |
| The whole universe is quite interesting but also very mysterious. Loving this joy ride. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| So the cat was a kid all time lol. I'm still surprised none have died but it may change later. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| The Brawler fight against the Execution Division is really good, and the Killer is no less good! So the one who controlling the cat is a boy, |
 |
| Poor Brawler really isn't actually that strong in a serious fight. I definitely didn't expect some kids to be in a vault. Hopefully we get at least a few questions answered next episode. |
 |
| This was an action packed episode!! The fight scenes were amazing!! Didn't expect that Black Cat's controller would be in the vault!! Also they're strong!! They stopped the train and created a shield around it inside the Absolute Quarantine Zone!! Amazing!! |
 |
| This series is getting weirder and weirder now that we know something weird is going on in Kanto and also the appearance of those two kids, still rip black cat form.... Pretty impressive of the Executioner guy to be handle his own against multiple of the akudama. |
 |
| The show is truly a case of "let's try everything! Who cares!" it really doesn't make to much sense because you are getting this silly and kind of entertaining action scenes but I feel it can get a little bit tedious in some parts but that probably has to be with the movie they are using as reference for the episode. |

| The biggest surprise yet! Inside the vault is a shota lmao |
 |
| There goes my "Swindler was actually controlling the cat" theory, so with the locked children reveal this Akudama group is in the grey morality area it seems |
| Ok am I supposed to be rooting for the akudama or something..... because I'm definitely aren't. Yes they're one dimensional characters but If they had made them WAY less annoying (cause I cringe everytime they open their goddamn mouths except for maybe Brawler because at least he can drop some fun lines) I could see myself rooting for them more. But no, they're all super unlikeable. I wanted more of her and less of them And I wish it were a bit more logical/realistic but... silly of me to be expecting that when the ordinary good girl suddenly devotes herself entirely to a bunch of murderers who were about to kill her right on the spot and starts considering them her friends for no reason lol (yeah ik she can't just escape but that's still no excuse to lose all common sense) Hopefully it'll get better now since that ending revelation was pretty cool. |

| This anime is amazing at creating character interactions. By themselves each one of our Akudama weirdos are fairly two-dimensional (the meathead, the tech guy, the slutty one, the coward, etc.) but together these guys are pure fire, so many interesting pairings and dynamics born from a fairly simple pool of characters: like you have Cutthroat and his weird fixation for Swindler, then Brawler has kinda like a grutch against Cutthroat for being the other homocidal guy of the group, Doctor's sass clashes with Courier's stoic demeanor, Hoodlum gravitates towards Brawler, etc. I love this type of character focused writing. |
 |
| The Execution Division Apprentice was useless, even more so than Swindler that starting to be useful. And she shouting every time she wants to fight, just to be easily defeated by Akudama. Loved the action scenes. Wild and entertaining! |
