| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- LOL, that Saint-Germi guy is hilarious. Easily becoming one of my favorite characters in this series now. Besides the comedy, we also get a bit of strategic battle analysis. Shimazu kicked some ass as usual. Oda and Saint-Germi had some tense and humorous exchanges while we get more buildup for the final battles. One more episode left D: Can't wait to see Shimazu, Yoichi, etc get into action. They look fired up! |
 |
| This episode was awesome, So much hype. XD The opening sequence with Germi talking about the trio's impact in the real worlds was pretty funny. The meeting scene was epic, Toyohisa just walked in beheaded soldiers and started smashing the face of that puppet man without a care in the world. Oda's analysis of that situation and Toyohisa's personality was really nice, That face he made when he made his declaration to Rasputin. XD This battle got me so hyped, I love how each of the Drifters lead their own team. The first volley of fire with Oda saying "Hold it Hold it" was so hype. Oda's little speech about the real strength of firearms in inducing fear was pretty awesome, Toyohisa's charge post that was super hype as well. This finale is gonna be epic. |
 |
| I was giggling the entire time with Rasputin's reaction, Toyohisa and Nobunaga sure know how to make a good first impression. With the three of them commanding the army, I don't think it'll be hard to take the capital. I wonder if Hijikata will go for Toyohisa. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| seems this was the second last episode...it so does not seem that way though |
 |
| This episode was pure PERFECTION. |
| Each and every episode of this series has just left me engrossed throughout the entire episode. Hopefully season 2 will come soon after the success of the first season. |
| I love Nobunaga's strategic savagery |
| Nobunaga always thinking up the others. Strategies destinated to do Toyohisa more perfect!!! i wait Annibal do in the next episode, estragically speaking!!! |
| I'm not a fan of Saint Germi but he is a whole different story with Nobunaga. Toyohisa was over the top awesome this episode. They roasted Rasputin oh this was hilarious. All the crazy laughs and funny faces were the highlight of the episode. My all favorite episode of the series. Sadly it ends next week and it looks like we don't get to see the hobbits this season. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |

| So Saint-germi knows hannibal is with the team. Just wait for the reunion of scipio and him :D Perfect strategics, perfect troop leaders. The finale will be pure hype. im sad its already over. |

| Only one episode left. It's fine show. |

| Decent episode I like I'm liking the novel strategies that were implemented in this battle by Nobunaga. The Goblins did not know what to do they were confused, I think because they are used to conventional war. I like how Rasputin see's the Drifters as crazy, but aren't the ends also crazy? Damn one more episode next and then that is a wrap we may have to wait another 3 years. |
 |
| Only one episode left.I really liked the episode.Rasputin's reaction when Toyohisa slaughtered his soldiers was priceless.Black King's army marched in Orte's Empire capital,but Toyohisa ambushed them.Hijikata looks interesting and he seems to know Toyohisa as well.I expect a great battle between the two next week. |
 |
| This episode was awesome. Toyohisa just beheaded those soldiers and smashing the face of the minion without caring. Nobunaga taunting Rasputin was great. The buildup for the volley of gunfire was really exiting. Everyone's reaction when the guns were fired was pretty much the same. They were all shocked by the sheer power of it. The finale is going to be epic. |
 |
| YEY!!! NEW EPISODE!! Hmm...Shimazu might have Crushed Tokugawas troops...but Tokugawa got the Japan and empire Seat....and They ruled Japan 400-500 Years... But damn..Shimazu are still aalive actually. Don't have any Power tough after 1947 consolation or something tough. Saint Germini character is Hilarious tough sure as hell was like this in real life...hell Nobu and Co also weren't but you get what I meant...Hilarious And Here is Rapustin!!! BK ARMY IS HERE!!!! Drifters VErsus KOKU OU GUNTAN!!! ROUND 2! Goblins did not Stand a Chance against Toyo! XD Rasputin's arrogance died right now! XD AND NOBU IS TROLLING HIM AS MUCH HE CAN! and HIJIKATA VERSUS TOYOHISA!!! DAMN THIS WILL BE AWESOME! |

| Rasputin greatly underestimated the Drifters. Sure, his plan sounded all sneaky and well executed, but he was brutally put in his place by Toyohisa, who made quick work of his puppet, and Nobunaga, who's taunting face was simply awesome. =) Saint-Germi's army have all the strength and muscles, but all of them were topless. Pretty amusing to see the other's reactions upon seeing this. ^^ Either way, the three-way formation in taking down the goblins was bloody brilliant. This is setting up to be a really good finale to Drifters and I hope it'll get a second season once there is more source material to adapt. Great episode overall. =) |
| RA RA RASPUTIN, LOVER OF THE RUSSIAN QUEEN. ... Anyway. I really like the way that Nobunaga strategizes - without him, I don't think that the Drifters would have all that much chance at winning against the Ends. Toyohisa is as straight-forward with his blade as always, though I wish that there was more screen-time for Yoichi. Out of the other two, he seems to be getting the least attention during the show? |
 Once we seize space, we'll all... |
| The way Toyohisa and Nobunaga roasted Rasputin was friggin amazing. Loved how he was all smug and arorgant at first but after they put him in his place in the most humilliant way, he wasn't that happy. Nobunaga's strategies are incredible. He managed to defeat those troops even when his men were unexperienced in the usage of fire arms, and with an astounding superiority. I agree with the user above who say the Drifters wouldn't have reach this far without him. Want to see the Hijikata vs Toyohisa next episode. |
 |
| Well infiltrating the capital sure was easy. Defending it? Not so much, but the guns sure help! XD |
| Lol topless soldiers from Count Germi |
| That was ... umm ... quite an army Count Saint-Germi had there. |
 |
| Germi couldn't get full control over the state since black king had the same plan. Rasputin btfo by toyohisa and the muskets instill fear, wonder how the black king will counter that. Gay army soldiers.  |
 |
| So the plan to take over the Orte capital by the Ends ended up being wrecked with the Drifters marching in with their elven dwarven army which now has a gay special forces team in it thanks to Count Saint Gay. Saint Germi probably spent all the state's money on his makeup instead of increasing his army to at least more than 500. And Nobunaga hands those 500 men those newly made muskets with one hell of a recoil for these newbies. That was pretty brutal how they defeated those Ends forces. Bullets from the front, arrows from above, and then to wrap things up, dwarves and a Toyoshisa charging at them. That's how you nekoing annihilate an army. These badasses are too much. |
| Idk why it feels like they'd need more than one episode to finish this up. Eh whatever, lets wait and see how the finale plays out. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Great episode Though the coup did not go as the count planned watching Toyo and co humiliate Rasputin was worth it The battle against the black kings vanguard though was well done that emphasizes the strength of each of the races and the skills of the drifters. The strategic mind of Nobu whose tactics here is the same as the one he used at Nagashino, The archery skills of Yoichi and courage and guts of Toyo. Looking forward to seeing how how Rasputin and Hijikata can salvage this disaster if theirs. Lol bad mistake for the guard in stopping that carriage using the count to sneak a force directly into the capital eh a pretty daring plan hmm a coup eh well the only logical choice of action will be that after all Toyo sure has faith in his clan but unfortunately for him history did not end that way. Lol the count sure is knowledgeable about drifters though Nobu is right about the count though He looks set to betray you as soon as he gets what he wants So the count is a drifter as well eh And just like that he announces the end of the empire in the meeting as casually as he was discussing something more simple lol lol the count doesn't Minsk his words at all taking down the guards as the meeting goes on eh just as expected of a coup hmm and there goes his plan that got derailed by the puppet master of the Black king. Hmm so the puppet master was Rasputin eh just like his real world self who was good at controlling people it seems that the count does know him Lol the black king and Rasputin had the exact same idea as Toyo and the others did Things will be messy But it seems you underestimated the powers of the drifters or their prowess in combat. After all you have so far been fighting small nations that uses conventional tactics and arms and not drifters who are all peerless warriors with years of experience in war. lol Toyo completely ignoring Rasputin as he trashes his minion how humiliating for Rasputin eh And lol Rasputin has completely played into Toyo and Nobu's plans the perfect justification to take over the country and address the problem of the black king and the ends lol. Seeing Rasputin who's usually icy calm and logical throw a tantrum though was quite funny. But the Black king is right. No matter how good a strategist you are you cannot foresee every eventuality. Man the black king sure is merciless so in total Toyo and Nobu have at max just four hundred troops to hold the capital eh. The black king is bound to have sent triple that number to take the capital this will be a tough fight. lol Nobu and the count arguing about army sizes. So thats the reason why the count has so few troops lol well thats another 500 added so thats 900 vs a lot more Still battles aren't won by numbers alone but by intel and strategy if only Hannibal was somewhat stable then they could have used his mind Good they managed to make the rifles but training the to use them effectively will be more crucial lets hope they know how to use them Lol Toyo and the dwarf really do get on but man being able to replicate a rifle is no small feat Rifleman, Elven archers and Dwarf axemen now thats an army Looking forward to see how this plays out Nobu is always good with his speeches and this time its no exception My the Tanegashima are devastating combine that with flanking archers and the enemy advance is immediately halted and finally a charge by Toyo's dwarven shock troops will seal this victory |

| Only one episode left it seems. I wonder how they will wrap it up? This was a great episode though. |
  |
| topless soldiers lol seriously man! |
 |
| Hijikata vs Toyohisa for the finale :) |
| The best part about the gay special forces is that they were a real unit somewhere in the ancient world and were famous for their effectiveness on the battlefield Although the original group was only 150 but the more sausages the better I guess |

zhaoyun99 said: Daniel_Naumov said: Just remember that Rasputin is not even an End. He is there behind the Black King for an unknown reason. He even expressed gratitude for the wrecking of French duo. Actually, the only neutral historical figure was Yoshitsune. Rasputin, Hijikata, Anatasia, Gilles and Joah are all Ends. That seems up in the air. Germain seems to know Rasputin personally, and was surprised/did not know that he had 'become' or 'joined' the Ends. As they lived in different times, their familiarity makes it likely they met or even worked together in this world prior to the Black King's coming. So perhaps the difference between an End and Drifter only comes down to their eventual allegiance. Their sender (Murasaki or Easy) presumably has a big influence on their nature though.

| can someone tell me who is saint germi is ? |
| Lots of unnecessary humour as usual, but the ending of the episode was pretty awesome and should make for an exciting conclusion, even if in the grand scheme of things very little is actually concluded. |
| I fell like it was a Mount and Blade. I did same strategy in every battle :D |
 |
| Saint's Germi conversations really are hilarious with his topless army. Quite amazing how things turned out, their coup d'etat was interfered by the ends, though it seems they failed to take over the city so they end up to destroy it instead. Oda with his badass strategies, they made a network like communication using the crystal ball, Olmine as the server. Looking forward for the last episode. |

Also could anyone explain the connection between Shimazu and Hijikata? Did they wipe out Shinsengumi? Well Shinsengumi were shogunate state police, while Satsuma domain were one of main draft-horses of "imperial" restoration. Its natural for Hijikata to hate Shimazu clan, maybe he was even executed by their soldiers. He will definitely go for Toyohisa next episode. |

| I wonder who Saint-Germi actually is... |
| Will there be an actual good action next ep? I'm tired of elementary strategies that only works when the enemies are ignorant weaklings and the heroes have the only one who know strategy. Defeating countless weaklings gets boring quick. |
