Murajsam5673 said: To end it all, there’s Courier’s image. He’s just alone with his bike, taking a smoke break. For starters, there’s the theory that he’ll be the only one left alive after everything and kept his cold exterior to prevent getting attached. His repeated phrase of “Keep emotions out of work.” could relate back to this. The other possibility is him getting out of a fight and bleeding out alone. Although, I’m relatively confident he’ll make it out alive.. I am thinking that Courier is a goner. Swindler asked him at some point if he dies for his job. Also, in this episode, he said "keep feelings out of work" twice, even though the job has been completed. And then Doctor asked if it was true... |
| WTF, those 2 children were once part of some kind of science project , that experiment with immortality???? All those 2000+ children, all made and killed off just to make one immortal kid like 2502. Oh, so Doc is a SUS agent. I still wanna know who'll die next? |
Okay episode I suppose. Nice twist towards the end. It doesn't look like that rocket is making it to the moon, maybe land in another region? I miss Brawler Bro. That scene with Hoodlum was heart breaking. RIP Bro.  |
| They did a backstory and an explanation on this episode, Cutthroat was really brutal on that scene they cover the gore tho. Looking forward to the next episode and see what's gonna happen next. |
 |
| After this episode I'm 10000% confident Hacker will come back. I mean, the main gang lost Doctor, Brawler and got split up now. Getting low on MCs! |

| I didn't notice these characters were played by the same voice actor up until checking the database. (doctor, Shinji@Eva, Emeraude & Eagle@RayEarth)     |
| wont say i loved this episode but it was peak dangaropna 3 on the layers of twist at the end fuck doc never liked her but it was clear as day she wasn't buddy buddy with everyone so yeah this was a kind of unexpected turn seeing as this is only half way done. super disappointed in all these executioners could've just slap on some kind of helmet without wasting designs on them with how much of fodder they turned out to be, which makes me find it hard to believe if the old duo was that strong how did hoodlums kill her at the start even if she was in poor shape |
 |
| Can anyone explain to me how that guy didn't die after hurting the executioner hot female? Oh, I guess I have to say here that she was the most beautiful character in this anime, but now she lost an eye. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |

| I can either see this plot line going really well or really badly... Thankfully I'm more leaning towards the really side of the spectrum giving how good this episode was But damn that censorship. Studio Pirrot strikes again! |
| "Who needs drugs when you got cute anime girls?" -Sun Tzu |
| To think that the Doctor would betray all of them... damn :/ And wtf was the ending? Will they land on the pieces from the moon? Otherwise, she's dead, it's not like she's immortal lmao But for sure there's gotta be something else there, otherwise, that wouldn't make any sense, so we'll have to wait. Damn, so the whole plot about the boy & girl was to create immortal humans, at the cost of other thousands of kids, sounds a little like railgun. Can't wait for the next episode! Oh and btw i hope hacker does a comeback, they will need him now, for sure xD |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Doctor betrayed them, didn't really care for her. The censorship is lame :/ |
| Lots of shock and twists this episode. Brawler is dead and Hoodlum is still reeling from his loss. They reached the Expo Park and revealed that it was a rocket launcher. The two siblings are actually immortal and are brutally experimented on by the scientists (oh wait is this Mai-chan's Daily Life? for those of you cultured motherfuckers, you know what happens in that shit). I'll be honest though, it breaks to see that each experiment gets worse for our onii-chan. And even though he succeeds in his hardships, in exchange every friends he know and love are sacrificed because of it. And that's why he met his imouto, and the heist originated from there. Things are going so well, until the fucking Doctor drops the ball. There was an Impostor among us, and damn that was a dirty betrayal. Cutthroat protecting our Swindler is really badass (yet the censor bug had to make us sad). In the end, the Akudamas are fractured as Swindler and Imouto are sent to who knows where. And is Hacker still alive? We'll see |

SenpaiMars-Barz said: So uh.......why did the boy not go with them? He def could have pushed them in and followed after.... THIS. First, he pushes them into a damn rocket, that I'm going to make a leap and assume they have NO idea how to fly. Then he stays OUTSIDE the door and says goodbyes. He held no one off, didn't have to launch from a console or anything. He just stayed back due to dumbassery. At this point, these kids and Swindler are the least interesting parts for me. And the Doc, who I found interesting, is now batting for the Executioners. AmineDane said: i think i forgot but im wondering what happened to the hacker Didn't he stay back on the train so he could reach Kanto? |

| Holy shit, what an episode. The twists left me feeling shook. And the OP has notably changed a bit, there's more neon colors and stuff and the last few seconds of the OP also changed. I like it. I did not expect the doctor to be the traitor, well I didn't really try to suspect anyone so that was shocking to me. I guess the master and pupil was just really leagues above the rest since their much much more stronger than the executioners here. The kid's backstory though, Jesus that is fucked up. It's kind of like some Fullmetal Alchemist shit, sacrifice thousands for immortality. Man, I am looking forward to the next episode and what direction they will take next. |

FireRifle64 said: I don't know if you guys notice but the OP actually changes as well. There is an instance which shows the characters silhouettes and each silhouette shows something involving each character. In much of the OPs, is shows a blurry image for brawler but now, it shows brawler on the bridge where he died. so there is some hints behind each character prior OPs  Recent episode  most hype part of the episode. confirms that Hacker will be hooked up to the digital world |
| The action in this episode is weak as fuck. No doubt the last episode was waaay too much for the animators but still, the executioners are no different from generic cannon fodder in this episode. The action and animation are the things that help compensate for this show's flaws, so if it can't do it right, this isn't really worth watching. The Doctor being the traitor was surprising but it's definitely not out of character, although if there was a traitor, I was expecting it to be Swindler. I am curious as to how this is all going to wrap up. No doubt the one-eyed Executioner is coming back for some revenge, but I wonder what's next, seeing as how the team no longer need to stay together for any reason. (Also, am I the only one who wants to see the old-lady boss get a badass action scene ? This show is soooo over -the-top, it would be shame if we didn't get a lady old enough to be someone's grandma lay down some smackdown.) |
| Damn, Doctor is a traitor! Did not see that coming. And the whole story about the immortal kids was brutal! |
 |
| Okay so this was... well... meh. First of all the whole background story is pretty basic and rushed. Also, there is a little plot hole that just drives me insane: where did he get that hat from?? Did he steal it? Did he get it from the headmaster? From the professor? Like, why is it even there? I assume it's from the professor but... still no explanation at all, it was just suddenly there. The ending is just wtf, like why didn't the boy go with his sister as he originally planned? He was literally standing right at the door. Why did he push Ordinary Person into the rocket ship with his sister? He has been told that the Moon was destroyed so he basically just sent Ordinary Person to the empty space without food or water or a destination? His sister is immortal but Ordinary Person is not, so... And even if they reach some destination, who's gonna land the ship? I guess it has some kind of super high-tech robot pilot, but still, since its original destination was the Moon, there is no way it can just go and land on some other random planet on its own. And there is a 99% chance that that planet will just instant kill them as soon as they get out of the rocket ship. I mean not them... just Ordinary Person. His sister will just chill forever on an empty planet, alone. So like, logic has been defeated several times today. I also really wanna know: If he's just a rat lab on the loose, where is the money from that he gave to the Akudama? Where are the collars from? But at least it's still stylish as heck and I enjoy it a lot. I liked the Doctor plot twist tho and Cutthroat is starting to become my favorite. Hoodlum is breaking my heart, he looks so lost and way too serious without Brawler. |

Graciaus said: So 1 exocutioner was enough to 1v5 and slap all the mcs. But cutthroat can now 1v5 exocutioners and win easily. Maybe it's just me but swindler kind of looks like the brother and sister. Because the executioner that died in episode six was an elite executioner. The executioners in episode seven are pretty much nothing more than mob characters against someone like Cutthroat. |
MeansToAnEnd said: the back-story and objective turned out pretty lame Sad Brawler didn't survive, what's up with Cutthroat being able to fight off multiple executioners while previously having trouble against one? Doesn't sit right that the strict executioners would absolve Doctor after she has killed so many people, unless they plan to back-stab her. Yeah, this show is a mess. Weakest aspect being the characters. The world building is average at best. Honestly, 12 episodes are not enough to flesh out characters, especially this many of them. Characters act stupid too like when the brother sent both of them in the rocket but didn't go himself, even though no enemies were immediately attacking them. Lol wtf is this shit? |

Maybe it's just me but swindler kind of looks like the brother and sister. Because the plot demanded that since the enemy outnumber our mcs, they become dumb and weak. When it was the Master and Disciple vs the akudama things were evenly matched because the plot demanded it. Now the plot demands the mcs to survive dozens of executioners so they will. Honestly, this show is dumb. |
|
| I will be happy if the swindler is really just acting because most people don't like her Nevertheless, this is certainly one of the top 3 shows this season so far |
| hollyyy shieeettt .. this anime the best of best !!! 1# rank from this season !! |
| You know it's made by the same people who worked on Danganronpa when they throw in the word "graduate" so casually in a post-apocalyptic plot... ugh... and there was also the censorship, which apparently is a thing, after 6 episodes of pure uncensored brutal action. How and why are the only questions I have. Fortunately, I like this series way too much atm to get mad at those 2 things in particular. Was not expecting such anime betrayal, but I'll take it. Dunno about the moon and how seeking refuge on it would've made any difference, but... ok. |
| God i hate doctor now |
BOŽE ČUVAJ HRVATSKU |
| Cutthroat is my favorite character… you guys are really starting to worry me with your "the opening predicts the order in which they die" theories. Would they seriously make it that obvious, though? I mean, it's not that hard to figure out and it pretty much spoils the entire series. I personally thought the blurred images inside their heads were supposed to hint at their backstories… Doctor's image is still her naked with roses covering her body, I can't imagine how she would end up dying like that unless it's stylized? |
 |
| Oh damn... so at this point, I doubt there's gonna be a happy ending. This episode was just damn heartbreaking, from the children's past to the fact that Brother sacrificed himself for Sister. I can't imagine what the hell Kanto will do with an immortal child but it's probably not gonna be anything good. I really hope things can end well somehow 😣 Also, I can't believe Doctor was the traitor... I really liked her as well. DAMN IT! |
 |
| I had a feeling about Doctor, though I thought she'd be undercover rather than making a deal still as an Akudama. This episode somehow felt like it let the dust of the previous one settle, for as much info and revelations as it did give out. That "Keep feelings out of work." line is definitely going to be hitting different, in the next couple of weeks. |
| oh god! that shocking revelation! and everything is happening so fast! Doctor is a sly traitor damn bastard! 5/5! |
 |
| Cutthroat x Swindler Courier x Doctor IDC about everyone else besides these four, these better sail even tho most of them likely will all die TheCeeJayz said: With Doctor revealed to be undercover, it looks like there’s also a certain girl from another series airing this season who isn’t alone infiltrating a group of people. No she didn't, she probably struck a deal in the middle of it, I'd say when they all got off the shinkansen train after that that's also when she started being sus and cryptic with Swindler |
 |
| This episode had totally lost me long before it got to what was ostensibly the good part of stabbings and gougings. It begins with the next destination literally rising out of the ground in front of them, continuing how they're pretty much just teleporting from one spot to the next. It goes from there right into how they're supposedly fleeing to the moon because they're the product of a secret government experiment to create superhumans, and they somehow owe it to all the culled kids to… uh… be immortal psychic moon people? |
