----------------------------------------
Well, color me surprised. Another episode that imo is actually impressive from the follow-up previously. The battle in the forest between the teams was at least thrilling and intimidating in a way too.


I'm starting to like this series more than expected now.

Okay episode. First half was a bit slow for me. Nice new song also.

Fujimon's an M I guess. And Midori's a big S. Seeing Matsuoka vs Midori animated....that was cruel. He better have some deeeeeeeep past for me to forgive that level of sadist. Although, I don't think he's the anti-hero type.

So we have four episodes left. I'm guessing it's going to be one of those "go read the manga endings."

That was the most intense episode yet.........Midori truly is a freaking monster O_O

Seeing Tachibana go apeshit like was badass in itself but man I felt so bad for her in the end along with the other guys TwT

Dunno where things will go from here considering that they'll probably have to wait a year until the next tourney and Midori managed to not only destroy them physically and psychologically but they went on to win for the 5th consecutive time

Both Masamune and Yukimura got pathetically manhandled by Midori. That's what they get for being weak-willed and hasty. The whole scene was pretty hilarious though!

Hotaru bloodlust strikes yet once again at the right moment. Too bad, it didn't do much for her this time around. Well, if it wasn't for Midori throwing her off by the gender reveal, she damn sure would've condemned the hell out of them them with her "superior" sense of justice.

Kanae revamping Hotaru with her Jinsei Soudan should make for a better episode if it doesn't become too cheesy.

Masamune and Yukimura both got owned so badly by Midori.

Midori is really such a monster.

Hotaru was really so badass. Midori knew her gender.

Sad that they didn't win but definitely more ideal that they would lose. Would be pretty bland if they made Hotaru win as a complete beginner against something of Midori's caliber.

Though I really did want to see Hotaru finally tell them that hes actually a she but I guess that'll have to wait.

The bloodlust thing wasn't a surprise but I'm kind of glad Tachibana didn't all of a sudden gain the upper hand and win because of it. That would have been pretty dumb, considering the fact that she's a complete beginner.

I felt uncomfortable watching Masamune practically get gun-raped by Midori. But hey, dramatic effect, right? And Fujimon is definitely a complete M, he's creeping me out. Also not surprised that Midori knew Tachibana's gender. That was pretty obvious.

Let's see where the series goes from here.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

As a team, they should act like a team. I only hope that after this episode, Toy Gun Gun has learned their lesson.

The fact that Midori knew Hotaru was a girl did not come as a surprise. It was pretty obvious he figured it out when they first met.

I didn't start this episode expecting Toy Gun Gun to win -- it would be a bit unreasonable, considering their competitors were some big-shot four-time champions, but I was still slightly disappointed. That fight between Hotaru and Midori would've had me on my toes if I had been standing.

All in all, I did enjoy the episode.

Amazing ep.. but damn.. And hhopefully Yuuki, Mattsun, and especially Hotaru achieve new levels and maybe even abilities!! Oh and Hotaru needs to tell them shes a girl, and hopefully they don't get to mad with her lying about that (don't think its a problem anyways).

What a sadist Midori is this episode, that's why I love him. Hotaru had her moment and thankfully she didn't beat the antagonist this early, it would been ridicules.

I'my enjoying the gender being slowly reveal, hopefully soon.

God I'm laughing when watching this... like can you PLEASE stop going into melee combat every single time? You know guns can actually shoot right? You're not supposed to use them as clubs. Otherwise you wouldn't even need them to begin with, geez >.>

That aside, I wonder why the hell they don't have any cameras monitoring the games from the camp? At least for the tournament organizers to watch? How else would they be able to monitor the whole thing? There's no way anyone should be able to cheat like that unnoticed. Plus match fixing would be easy as fuck in that case

Well at least they lost and thank god for that. I don't know if I could've handled another victory by 'bloodlust' :s

i am not disappointed in Hotaru, she practically won against him. Midorima just had the backup sniper thats all. I think is already time to tell them the truth about her being a girl, like seriously that's her only weak spot

I really hope there aren't people like Midorima in real life... i really thought that when Hotaru went all Bloodlust I really thought that they would really have a chance of winning but that end snipe and blackmail. This was a intense episode.

there's way more than you think, they are called sadists, and a good 8/10 times they are either evil or scum(or both).

anyway good episode, actually realistic fights for once(well apart from the start that is).

Brilliant follow-up after last week. Midori was quite the sadist, shooting both Yukimura and Matsuoka while they were down.
Real bullets or no, that's gotta hurt, man. Not to mention, the damage to their pride and self-esteem.


Hotaru in her bloodlust mode was awesome as usual. Honestly, I'm glad a beginner like her lost against those two pros. It made the story more realistic. And not surprised with Midori knowing she's a girl. He's a doctor and if anyone would have noticed, it would have been him. Though Midori saying it at that moment felt like cheating. Taking Hotaru down would have been harder for both of them if she didn't freeze up in shock at his revelation.

I knew they wouldn't win and I'm glad they didn't, it would be disappointing to see them win when one of them, at least, is a beginner. And if they win this story would be a bit short. So this was quite predictable.
I guess they're going to train this year or something.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it.

Two things:

1) That sniper girl should join the military asap, being able to shoot Tachibana in the head in the middle of a downpour with a toy pellet. She's a sniping prodigy. Or it was bullshit. Either one.

2) It really bothered me how Midori referred to Tachibana as a "he" in his own thoughts all the way up to when he told her he knew she was a girl. It's almost as if he was masking his own thoughts for the benefit of the audience inside his head before the big reveal at the right moment.

Otherwise, it was cool. I was really expecting a different conclusion, I don't understand why it started raining heavily if it didn't actually play any part in the game at all. I thought it would've screwed with the sniper at least.

The manga is pretty far behind actually. Unless there's a VN or LN for this, it's probably original material. Well, I guess it could be from the mangaka's future plans for the manga or the translations could just be really, really behind.

Ah, so my guess that the translations are just really behind was right. I just looked into it. You're right. It's on volume 7. But from what I've seen, translations are only at chapter 3.

Damn! Masamune got REKT so hard. I can see why he's traumatized by Midori O_o
Midori too OP and such a Sadist!

Berserking Tachibana was BA! Ofc she'd lose tho, it would've been BS if she won alone.

I wonder when they'll have their revenge match if this was supposed to be the most important tournament?

But anyway, that must've hurt when Matsuoka was getting shot by the deagle.
