This episode probably have one of the best looking animated scenes not just from this series, but from Wit Studio as a whole. The fight sequences with Boiji and Bosse looked hella crazy and really impressed with the camera direction, impact frames, and swear effects. To me, this even rivalled some of the most impressive animation work that Wit did for AoT when it was still in charge of that series (regardless of my more unfavorable stances on that series nowadays for good reason).

As for the story content within the episode itself, I couldn't care much at all for. Boiji's endeavors don't feel well-earned, and the way Bosse and Miranjo were written as characters felt like a roundabout waste of time. The sluggish pacing still doesn't help, either, as it seemed like they dragged out 5-6 episodes worth of content to around 9-10 episodes in length.
It's nice to see people raving about it, but unfortunately for me, I'm just unable to join in those festivities besides nodding at the staff credits.

The animation improved a lot for this episode and you can tell. A battle that I will remember for sure, my favorite episode of ousama so far

I've to say that I'm quite confuse if Prince Bojji is actually fighting his father for real or it was just his imagination or calculated move. The choice of visual is a "miss" in this episode.


Jesus, some people really need to be spoonfeed at this level? how can you not understand that was a visual representation of Boji actually fighting his father and how powerful he is? and in the end you actually put the blame in the studio lol

uhhh, yeah... he's fighting his father for real. How else did his dad get tired and knocked over, front standing too hard?

I get what you mean though, because he got all big and stuff. But it's just a visual thing, nothing more. I wouldn't say it's a miss cause I haven't seen others saying they didn't understand

the angelification of miranjo was so unnecessary , why are they trying to justify her actions? she is fucking evil she killed and destroyed and used people for her own gain. why make her a sad lil kid who needs saving for the sake of plot. this is the only thing I don't like in an otherwise fantastic show.whatever she has done is unforgivable, regardless of how "helpless" she may be or claims to be don't fucking give er the "convenience" of a sad past.


Miranjo was not born without a heart. She was taught to be kind, compassionate, and loving to others. However, people paid her with cruelty and coldness. They caused her so much pain by killing her mother and tormenting her to death. Her experiences changed everything about her. Negative beliefs and values grew within her over time. As a result, she ended up making terrible decisions in life and hurting others to satisfy herself. Sadly, every bad things we do has its price in the end...In real life, experiences changed who we are and there are people out there like her.

Of course, what she did to Queen Sheena, Bojji, and to others are extremely bad. She definitely has to make amends and ask for forgiveness. However, that doesn't mean she doesn't need saving anymore. Any person "who chooses to truly change for the better and wants to have a second chance" should be given opportunities. It really takes a strong person to forgive and be kind...I believe she just needs someone to heal her inside and remind her who she was before she became the person we know now. I think her story and her ending (either good or bad) is and will be important too. Her story can also represent one of the author's messages for the viewers or manga readers.

Well, we may have different opinions about the "angelification of miranjo", but yes, a fantastic show overall.

I was really amazed with the fight scene. All hail Bojji! Meanwhile, mixed emotions at the last part.
This first season is a blast! I am already watching episode 21, yet, there is still happiness and excitement in my heart.
I really felt bad that it will end soon, but...

"Ousama Ranking" vol 13 by Sousuke Tooka will be out Spring, 2022.
This volume will start the 2nd part of manga. (@MangaMoguraRE)


Knowing that there is more to the story that we can discover or unravel (Especially about the "Ranking of Kings"), and that there can be anime continuations (which is highly possible at this point), oh my, my sadness turned into joy! For now, we just have to enjoy every part of the story...and all of our questions will surely be answered at the right moment.

Looking forward for next week!

They really outdid themselves with that fight scene, I thought it was really good.

And it looks like that character from the OP is finally making an appearance.

Did the story recover from the absolute disaster of Episode 20?

There was something insanely climactic about everyone being on the verge of death and then all momentum flew out of the window when Bosse arrived to heal them in a second. All of a sudden, the stakes just started to feel incredibly low, and the fact that Bosse’s motivations remained vague while he was about to engage Boji (who he had just healed) made it all the worse. The story, for me, went from a 9/10 to a 7/10 at that point.

Great animation aside, was it able to recover from the bullshit of Episode 20?

If Ouken can't damage Bosse, I don't see how Bonji can when he literally has 0 strength.

Kinda remind me of Levi vs Kenny scene or Levi vs Zeke on AOT.

I really like the Visual choice of showing Bosse true form in the fight instead of Daida.

Thank You WIT Studio!!

Unlike the guy above I don't see any growth in bojji. He's still just that kid that got a completely unexplainable powerup overnight and went from zero to hero
Bosse and Miranjo are completely unlikable and hardly anything they do makes any sense even with the explanation given
It looks it's the devil's turn to get his sad backstory next

Amazing episode. The animation was top notch. I still don't care that much for MIranjo though. Suffering doesn't entitle you to make others suffer in my book.

Most likely the show was just a metaphorical version of events. Daida didn't actually turn into a giant and destroy everything, that was just done to make the fight visually interesting and better convey the power and feeling of the fight.

Exactly, it was done to convey boji perception of the fight. His father was still a giant in his mind due to his power

i really liked this because i interpreted it as the way that boji was able to win the fight. if he fought daida as bosse, he wouldn’t be able to guess and dodge right, but he went into the fight thinking of bosse as how he was, it gave him an advantage.

maybe i’m reading too far into it but i really loved this episode!

Now onwards with the climax!

Likely gonna get adapted next episode, not even the first thing they rearranged the order from the manga so far. Likely because it fits much better to get it all in one go. His flashback with Miranjo comes before the battle with Ouken is even done with in the manga.

Welp I'm probably in the minority who didn't like this episode. The animation was amazing, yes, but the story was so bad at building up this fight that I couldn't care less when Bojji won. It was way too one-sided. King Bosse, lauded as one of the strongest men in the world, got defeated just like that? Even when the four horsemen banded together apparently couldn't even do anything? And I still don't understand King Bosse's motivation for doing all of this, am I missing something? Or there better be an explanation for this before the show ends.

No, clearly it doesn't, because I don't give a shit about Miranjo's and you don't write a climax about an unexplained relationship that barely had screentime.

Well the animation for the fight was nice.

But this got me thinking, why did Bosse heal them all if he wanted to get of them in the first place? When he was serious about wanting them killed, but then all of a sudden he gets regrets, wants to destroy Miranjo to lift the curse and etc. But then Bosse gets surprised that Bojji tries to destroy Miranjo?

Anyway, the next episode, I assume that Bojji is going to go against the demon.

Am I the only one thinking the animation during fighting scenes is bad? There's so many stackings compared to previous episodes, especially on "gigantic Bosse" part, it was unpleasant to see.

Now both Bosse and Miranjo are tortured eternally in hell, as consequence of making deals with devils.

After this episode if Bojji doesn't get his king title back will be bullcrap. Because in theory Daida is still king.

Im impressed in the lack of faith in Bojji, except Kage that was 100% betting on Bojji.

The main plot that is the ranking get shadier.


Honestly, it was always really shady. Why do I get the feeling that

Loved how they changed the fight POV to Boji's mindset showing just how aware he was that he was fighting Bosse.

I wonder if Miranjo's curse on Boji will be lifted as well.
