| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another painful flashback for Mumei.. I feel like Mumei and Ikoma grew close again. Haven't seen her that vulnerable before. Good action as expected, the switching between flashbacks and present makes the episode more of a mind struggle for Mumei. She's lucky to have someone like Ikoma to care about her. Eh, the giant Kabane looks really strange, reminds me something from a monster B-Movie lol, loved the music when they were fighting on the train.  |

This pic is just...very misleading... Oh Stark, you had to, of course. |
| Halfway trough the season...pity that this is only 12 episodes. AS expected they start to talk shit about Mumei...well some what for good reason...she screwed.... But...Ikoma satrt to get trough her in this Mine....who wants to bet on that? AH...we see Bunshi prejudice and assholeness...been while since episode 1 and 2... and Big Brother...to rescue... aw..Mumei got From Ikoma and Co.. show just how wrong she was...and now won her officially over I think! XD Kurusu is back in action...and Train versus big Guntai KABANE!!! (Army Corpse..lol what a literal translating..) Guntai is Army and Kabene Corpse. DAMN AWESOME EPISODE!!! LOVED THIS! |

| (raw version) Wow, this episode was an epic fight with the Black Smoke! The Black Smoke has a heart and at the center is a person (here, a female). Also, Mumei explains that the Black Smoke amasses kabane and people alike (maybe other stuff as well). Flashbacks of Mumei's past. Like Ikoma, her place was under kabane attack and her mother (who looks like Shino-san), was killed by a frightened Bushi, without even being a kabane. A blurred image of the prospective Ani-sama, who obviously saved Mumei from being killed like her mother. Mumei reveals that all her comrades have become kabane and this is their eventual demise as Kabaneri. Everyone works together to defeat the the Black Smoke and pick Ikoma and Mumei back (despite another, yet brief, dispute with the nobles on the train). In the end even the nobles supported the cause and helped rail the train back. More spotlight for Yukina, Sukari, Takumi, and the Bushi. Screenshot almost everything :)), but like the scene with Ikoma and Kurusu best!  Awesome Black Smoke:  |

| That was sooo good!!! Loved how quickly Mumei stopped being annoying. She was great this ep. Apologizing, acting cute and being an absolute BA!! Screenshots for most her scenes XD Ikoma was a complete BA killing all those Kabane by himself like that. Mumei definitely cares about him quite a bit now Kurusu was awesome with the new blade and Yukina...DAMN Dat toned body :L I think Mumei said she didn't get bit? So her Kabaneri transformation is definitely different. I can already see the lewd photoshops on her drinking the blood :P OST was dope!!! |
 |
| Pretty thrilling episode. Nice to see Mumei being able to communicate with others better. Wonder if the person inside of the amalgamation was someone she knew. Probably not. OST is solid af. Sasuga Wit. |
Um, Yukina best (supporting) girl! |
| Only watched the raw version. Will comment after watching the subbed version The episode focus on Mumei is good as it tells her point of iew and how she grew up to be what she is. The action is getting more tense as everyone pulls together, especially the ending part. And call me strange but I feel that the one been the core was someone Mumei knows.... my little theory.... Now for a few gripes. First off Mumei injures look far worst than they shoud be.... but then again been what she is she probably healed it up... This is a minor gripe really. Now the main one I'll probably say is Kurusu suppose injury that went through his stomach, and yet it was his arm in a sling. (someone probably pointed I believe) And of course he's fine after a very short amount of time. Well I guess they can use some strange logic there. Ikoma/Mumei is a definite thing going to happen, but I can't help but feel at the very end she might be killed by Ikoma because her "Time" ran out, as the guy from the previous epiosde said. ColdBreeze said: She is just 12. How does that sound now? Lol Errr I don't know how to view that as bad..... And even if I use my imagination that's been in the gutters it still don't look bad given the position, if he was a tad more closer then we'll be talking. |

| gotta love how balanced the cast is. i wonder when (or if) they'll reveal Mumei's real name |
Niyari said: gotta love how balanced the cast is. i wonder when (or if) they'll reveal Mumei's real name That name probably died with her mother. AT least this flashback puts a final bullet in the stupid theory that she was Ikoma's sister. |
| I liek trains Well as action porn this anime isn't bad I guess.. |
  |
| Ayyy the katana guy is op Mumei's past is hard :/ I thought Sukari would die under the train lol |
| Decent episode, of course they put everyone at risk those idiots. Also how the hell is Mumei (who I like to call Mommi xDD) a kabaneri if she said that was the first time she was bit by a kabani before? Was that a plot hole they looked over or a translation error? |
the fused colony's heart is cool, its colored blue to identify it easily |
| This episode had me until the last minute Like, no A single train car like that would weigh like 20 tons at the very least |
| The second half was amazing! I honestly hope this gets more than 12 eps cause it's taking its time with all the buildup. Does anyone know the name of the background song at the very start? I NEED to know, it was so beautiful |

| Great episode as usual. A ton of action and we learn a little about Mumei's past Yukina is actually pretty buff Kurusu was pretty cool this episode  |

| Ikoma's battle choreography still awful as always :( This is becoming more and more a mediocre edgy shounen... sleeplesstown said: The scene where everyone was pushing was even more hilarious. I understand moving on the side, even though their weight is negligible, but pushing made me straight up laugh.This episode had me until the last minute Like, no A single train car like that would weigh like 20 tons at the very least |

It suggests that the process through which she became a Kabaneri is not the same as what happened to Ikoma. Perhaps a controled infection was carried out or just implanting infected Kabane blood. |
| You know it's Tetsurou Araki when you see the slow-mo canon/bullet fire. Very good episode with cool action. Good to see mumei in good shape and able to pull herself together. That woman operating the train has some muscles and the foreign dude is epic lol |

Yeah thats a possibility, I was also thinking maybe a scratch can do it too? But yeah also like you said maybe she was implanted with blood by that guy she was a bodyguard for, so she can defend him better OR maybe she was killing/attempting to kill one when she was human and the blood got in a cut or her mouth. |
| Welp, what can i say............BEST EPISODE YET? |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
I was gonna post this exact same image :p But damn! Yukina is ripped! All those hours shovelling coal and pulling big steam-punk levers is really paying off. |
 |
| This episode was great, I loved the flash backs and how Ikoma took care of Mumei. Why is she a loli god damn it, I want this ship to sail so bad. ( o_ o)> Anyways, I was always like - Yukina is so cute...; than boom! She takes off her jacket that's been craftily hiding her physique and to my surprise that cute kitty turned into a lioness. :O Bad ass 'G' Yukina: |
Seriously, this moment. I was so scared. I am glad that he wasn't torn into pieces xD |
| Yukina tone as hell. Great episode at the same time not to much to say. I mean it hit all the right marks and just went on its marry way. All I say is bad as fight scene, bad ass Sword, sexy tone Yukina, and that everyone move to the right was all bad ass. Can't wait till next week. |
 |
| Everytime the english guy opens his mouth I find myself laughing XD Yukina is definitely ripped! |

sleeplesstown said: This episode had me until the last minute Like, no A single train car like that would weigh like 20 tons at the very least I like that you managed to suspend your disbelief for the giant zombie amalgamation. But people shifting to one side of train, now that's where you draw the line. |
|
| well the the fighting scenes, ost and animation are amazing. also the setting is quite nice and the characters are ok(?). dont really like the story so far though and the giant was bullshit |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
HyperL said: All fixed is exaggerating but it's good to see that most characters have some role in this episode.@zal Last episode you complained about how some relevant characters were useless and looked more like background characters. Well, what do you think now? My bet is that is all fixed isn't it..... |

Oh, when i said everything, i mean regarding the character's uselessness last episode, not all the problems in general. Also, now we know the true reason for the sword breaking plot convinience last episode. It was so they could give triple emphasis to Kurusu piercing a heart with the kabane sword this episode. |

sleeplesstown said: This episode had me until the last minute Like, no A single train car like that would weigh like 20 tons at the very least Actually that would work, especially since those rail cars are packed with survivors. 50 people at an average of about 160 pounds (more for men, less for women) is 4 tons. That much shifting cargo would have an effect. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| Yukine releasing the pressure limits was a scene even better than the battle scenes in this ep, and those were outstanding. I also liked how she nonchalantly flipped the speaking tube closed after she told Sukari to clear the gear shaft. A few really good lines: Mumei: "Don't mess it up this time, Fatty." Ikoma: "If you die, don't blame it on the weapon." I'm starting to like Kurusu (Ayame sama's samurai). This show continues to hit, and exceed, the mark. Already looking forward to next week. |

Well, this IS a shonen manga no? It happens everywhere so i can overlook that. And he would still be a useless character if he were injured still, so the writers basically backed themselves into a corner in this one. |
