| Seems like it has more comedy on this episode. Looking forward for their ambush on the next episode. |
 |
| This was a necessary episode no matter how you look at it (all of the info galore). And I don't know, time passes so fast for me whenever I watch each episode. It's still going well and I hope it won't disappoint. A really good series. |
| The comedy doesn't work they should stop. |
 |
| LOL!!! Love how Murasaki stole fire from EASY's Monologue!!! XD Her Cool Moment lost it's coolness!!! "Best way deal with BAD GUYS Monologue? Simply not be there!" XD ....Have to admit...Octobrist Organization....was freaking Naive in their preparations against BK and Ends...SImply going to ask Lords to give their troops to War? Was NOT Going to happen until World would be on Brink of Destruction. They should have at least Train their Own Troops and Army and then start Preparing to gathering the Drifters. Lol...Manipulator Nobunaga starts his moves. Going to defeat Ends but same time...CONQUER THE WORLD!!! XD and Toyohisa as Leader!...and Puppet Master behind the Throne? Nobunaga...Have to say tough...not going to work! XD And..he really tries make himself to be evil...even if he currently is not! XD Black King...is freaking powerful... |

Dicky1 said: why they bother to keep secret black king identity when it obviously jesus when you see the scar on his hand or maybe there will be twist on his real identity ~Last Paragraph...Yes...it might be Jesus, but until it is confirmed it is not a fact. Author might be screwing with us. Low_Ki said: Stigmata, wanted to save humanity but was betrayed, healing powers....... Black King's identity seems too obvious and has to be a red herring, right? Until it is confirmed...took it with Salt! XD Fai said: Black King's identity seems to be friggin obvious considering what he did this episode and what he said this episode(not to mention visual cues). Strawberrycake48 said: That cliffhanger ;_; I knew all the Ends hating the world would make sense- I mean I can't really blame Joan of Arc and Hijikata for that tbh. Also had my suspicions about the Black Lord dude either being Hitler or Jesus...the marks of stigmata do indeed confirm that it's Jesus. ! It also can be that Hirano-Sensei is just screwing with us...and as for Hitler....well with no Spoilers...I just say...what this series to end! XD |

TheTsunami said: There seems to be a bit of a theme to the ends: those who served their people (or masters) only to be betrayed by them:Jesus didn't handle rejection very well. Jeanne d'Arc, an ardent Catholic, was tried and convicted by a religious court supposedly following Catholic law, but almost every right she had under that law was violated because it would have been impossible to convict her otherwise. Grigori Rasputin was murdered by the royal family he was serving. Anastasia was murdered by her subjects as a result of the Russian Revolution. Akechi Mitsuhide felt betrayed by Nobunaga after the latter indirectly and unrepentantly caused the murder of a family member, which is what led to his betrayal and eventual death. Gilles de Rais is a little more complicated, but his family did set the equivalent of a restraining order against him selling property (he was a profligate spender), and there have been persistent rumors that he was set up in the child murder case, a charge lent some credence by who got his estate after he died (his lord). Jesus, obviously, follows this as well, and can be interpreted to have suffered the ultimate rejection and betrayal by those he tried to help. |
 Whoahohoooo, Oda you perverted old man. So somebody is saying that the Black kind is Jesus? If so the the Vatican ought sue the shit out of this anime /manga original creator. |
| why do i feel like i watched this in the second episode |
Whoahoho said: So somebody is saying that the Black kind is Jesus? If so the the Vatican ought sue the shit out of this anime /manga original creator. Why? Hebrew mythology is public domain. The character itself has been used countless of times in the media both japanese and western. There's literally a comic about Jesus kungfu fighting nazis. |
 |
| maaan the comdy is so unfunny. is it jesus? D: |
 |
| I strongly believe the Black King is Jesus. There are obvious signs like the hole in the hand and healing that ogre just by touching it. As for the rest of the episode, the comedy was great. There was a lot more than usual, but I still liked it. I laughed a couple times. The trio have great chemistry. Looking forward on what they plan to do to take over the state. |
 |
| I liked the transition from drifters to ends but the lacks of beard from Rasputin is the most disappointing thing ever 1/5 /s |

| Black king is Jesus omfg |
| Ohh boy this anime is so good. Very funny + cool action settING. |
 |
| i loved the comedy, less action this episode but i enjoyed it |
| This is getting really good, but i hope the build-up ends soon. Those that complain about the comedy might as well just drop it, the tones been set already. Although the comedy is Hit-or-miss, it has it good moments. Also the Black king is obviously Jesus Oda's my fav char, how can you not love this face?  |
 The peasant is bound by the king. The king is bound by the peasants and their kingdom. But the Viking is bound to nothing but themselves. |
| Ugh an episode full of awful comedies. Worst episode so far It would be great if Black King is really Jesus |

| Yoichi remains the best ! I was afraid that humour would be a little off but it kind of worked in this episode ! |
 |
| Black King Hitler or Jesus? The comedy though I liked it but Its going overboard its not being balanced between the seriousness of the story. THIS ALSO: |

| 10/10 Yoichi and his brotha are so cute. I really find Oda Nobunaga interesting especially his interaction with Shimazu. |
 |
| Oda, hands off Olmine! =_= But maaan, this series is so GAR I love it. <3 |
| my GOD those visuals were to my liking. Liking the build-up as well. Hyped for some good action. |
| FUUUUUUUCK the 3 word i hate the most just showed up!! Grrrrrr when i finally manage to catch up with this and this happens .. aaah amazing episode and thrilled for the next episode |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
BenedictusT said: So the Black King is Jesus himself. Holy Shit. Amen. the same opinion!!!!! |
| Becoming my favorite of the fall season, the comedy is hilarious and the action scenes are really cool. Can't wait for next episodes battle. |
|
| Good buildup episode, the last scene hyped me a lot. I laughed several times in these episodes, it's weird because I disliked the humor in Hellsing. May be Hellsing was too dark, idk |
| -Holes in his hands -I want to save the humans, but they refuse/reject me. The Black King is Jesus, I love it. Next episode seems pretty hype and gory, the anime is doing pretty well between the action and the calm. Also Yoichi and Olminu are waifus. |
| Yoichi's got a nice round butt. And I really love the ED. |
| Wow, the thing with this anime is that I don't like comedy too much, but is getting pretty serious. And now with the guesses that Dark King is Jesus this is gonna get fucking amazing. |
 |
| The comedy is so fucking horrible, I can't even fathom to fathom why the creators fathomed that should be included. Jesus, this is just disgusting. Nobunaga's so cringingly terrible. |
 |
| Too much meh comedy in this episode. It's going to be funny if the black king really is Jesus. His hands look like they have holes in them lmao |
 |
| It is episode 4 and I have only now found out that Yoichi is a guy. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| The dialogue drags on too much here, it's honestly a boring watch without the jackass combat. |

thebrentinator24 said: wow people keep repeating this stupid theory. I mean I would expect it from japanese s they have little to no idea of western culture. Also Rasputin was not killed unjustly. He was a maniac that tried to rule Russia by making fake miracles. Both him and Joahne D'arc where demonically possessed. If they go that way it would be a huge scandal.I wouldn't be surprised if the Black King is Jesus, all of the Ends seem to be historical figures that were wrongly and/or prematurely killed, and Jesus is definitely considered one of the prime examples of that. At this point I'm not even going to complain about the comedy anymore, I'll just sound like a broken record. It was a bit more fitting in this episode because there wasn't much going on, but I still didn't care for it. |

Jeanne d'Arc was deceived by demons pretending to be angels of light. Grigori Rasputin was a lecherous drunkard that tried to manipulate and control the royal family. Anastasia Romanov was the victim of a civil war and manipulated by Rasputin Akechi Mitsuhide was an opportunist truing a coup d'etat and failing Gilles de Rais was a maniac executat for multiple murders rapes and many others; he was a friend of Jeanne so things do link together as they are all either evil people or people that blindly follow those evil people. Neither of them served their people. Why would Jesus be grouped with these guys? Makes no sense. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| I actually thought this episode was one of the best of so far, maybe it's because the comedy wasn't completely god awful this time. |
Low_Ki said: nightcrawlercyp said: but Jesus dying was part of the plan. I mean he could not beat death and resurrect without dying. Not the first time anime/manga has taken liberties with retelling religion. While Evangelion, D-Gray Man and Fate are the most popular it's a very common thing. Though when I reflect, it's kinda funny that the most hilariously offensive version I've seen was from a western comic aka Preacher.

Though when I reflect, it's kinda funny that the most hilariously offensive version I've seen was from a western comic aka Preacher. Evangelion is considered one of the worse anime of all time although it had plenty of followers at the time. Fate is more about the Grail myth with has little to nothing to do with christianity and more with druidism. D'Gray is about exorcisms. And there is a big difference. Because it isn't retelling religion but is trying to change the core of christianity. And keeping details from the Biblical account shows it is explicitely directed at that. The core of christianity is Jesus's willing death and resurrection. If that did not happen then christianity is nothing more than madness. |
