| 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. |
