| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So we got to see some of Koyori's past... I have to admit, her childhood life wasn't pretty. The restless days and way she lived her life that isn't anything like a normal child... Damn, I feel bad for her now. It already made her personality fragile and she was even more vulnerable back then. |
 |
| Got to learn about Koyori's and Makihara's past. His partner kidnapped Koyori's twin sister to defeat other Hand Shakers and eventually God. I honestly don't care about any of it at this point. One more episode until this terrible show is finished. |
 |
| So it's just for some talk of the past. Little Koyori and Mayumi as a target for child abuse. Whoa, that "Akutagawa" name instantly remind me about Ryuunosuke . They even share the psychotic habit. LOL |

| This is probably the only episode that I would consider to be great, I really enjoyed seeing this backstory |
| That was some flash level animation this episode. Can't wait fpr this garbage to be over. |
 |
| Cool, backstory....don't really care at this point. Can't wait to mark this as "Completed" next week before doing my best to erase this anime from my memory. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Really good episode, I am not even kidding. But even if they win, Koyori's twin sister will die :( BTW, Makihara and Nagaoka's Nimrod are from RWBY, just use a bit of imagination |
 shit!! he got me! that fucking Poly boomed me! he's so good! (x4) |
| Wow, this episode was actually interesting. I also liked Mayumi's costume. |

| Wow, this might be the best episode yet. That's not saying very much, but at least I was intrigued. A bunch of whys were answered. |
| I need sleep. |
| Popular opinion seems that the episode was the best out of a bad bunch, I think I can agree with that. even so, it was still just a "meh" episode. Can't wait to finish this next week and never speak of it again. |

| Koyori's papa was a bad man. |

| Koyori and Mayuri looked really sweet as kids, but they went through so much crap with countless opponents beating them up. Shame that their father lost the plot altogether. Other than that, it was a decent episode overall. It doesn't change the popular opinion of this show being bad and I do agree with them. Regardless to how the final episode will go, it won't salvage anything to make this show better. =/ That and even GoHands somehow managed to forget to lip sync Makihara's partner's words properly as well. A bit shoddy if you ask me... |
| All right, one more episode left! |
  |
| final episode next time noooo |
| I'm of the opinion that this ep was one of the better ones to come from this show. While it wasn't amazing, it was a lot more tolerable. It wasn't very graceful in its flashback story and it felt quite frequently like painfully obvious exposition, but they didn't try too hard with animation or camera movements, there were still horribly apparent tropes with poor execution, but I enjoyed this ep quite a bit more than the majority of the eps. Not saying it was great though, multiple times this ep I resigned myself and smiled at each face palm moment that appears. Mayumi's outfit was cute, I'm glad Koyori can actually speak now. Last ep, won't miss the show but will definitely remember it xD Glad to know I was correct in assuming that the observing pair of HS in the ep against Lily and Masaru was the reason the Ziggurat wouldn't dispel |

| So he's a pedo right? Making Mayumi fall in love with him to both be Hand Shakers. |
uchimaki131 said: Hinata said: So he's a pedo right? Making Mayumi fall in love with him to both be Hand Shakers. Not quite exactly. He Drugged Mayumi and in order to keep her alive, and those 2 became a pair of Hand Shakers. So he's a pedo right? |
| what a hard childhood early life of Koyori & Mayumi. so their parents trancended and became gods? and vanished huh?... 3/5. |
 |
| You know, this episode has the most potential to be good. However, given that the writing for this show is all kinds of garbage, there was only one way for this episode to turn out. Not to count the plot holes and other writing moments with bad questions (some of these breed other questions put in the same billet point): •If a Hand Shaker is born a Hand Shaker, then does that mean everyone in this competition was born one as well? That wouldn't make sense since Tazuna would've had to have someone to hold hands with since the start of his life. •What caused the twist to suddenly stop functioning? We are told that it's some kind of organ failure, but which organ and why did it stop working? •The two twins had their hands separated. Shouldn't that kill them? •Why are Tazuna and Daichi the only ines who can revive the two? Is it because they're Hand Shakers? •Why has Makihara not gotten anywhere with his research in God knows how long? •Since Makihara and Daichi quit being Hand Shaker partners, how come one of them is a current Hand Shaker? Didn't they go or if their way to prove that if you are or if the game you're out forever? •Was it really the twins getting hurt in this battle royale that caused him to go insane? Whatever it is, the transition between normal man to psycho is forced, easily telegraphed, and speedy as hell. •Why was she in the same spot that Tazuna's sister died in? Who was there first? Why do the two look alike (hair color and eye color aside)? •Why does organ failure eradicate your memories and your ability to speak? Maybe we could know if we knew what organ it was. They couldn't even get backstoy right. 1/5 |

| Well, this was the only episode of the series I've enjoyed so far. Probably the show will get a higher grade by me than the one I expected: a 2/10. |
| I'm going to assume Koyori gets a special outfit because she was born there. Next Episode: Sister Power Am I supposed to feel this is tragic because sisters must fight each other? This anime certainly failed in that area. |

| Hmm to think that Makihara and Nagaoka were once hand shakers that fought together though. Hmm even back then it looks like Makihara was still the same as he is now in stringing people along while also deflecting criticism with humor and flattery. Hmm so it seems that the lab that they were part of back then consisted of more than two handshakers eh. Even back then Makihara and Nagaoka would be arguing non stop with each other despite being good friends lol. So back then all four were doing research on the hand shakers and their background eh. It seems that their research was also focused on determining whether the powers of the hand shakers can be used to visit other worlds as well too. Hmm the lab back then sure was lively though and productive. Lol its quite funny seeing both Makihara and Nagaoka try to outdo each other though. Lol Makihara is just so clueless at times though lol. But man to think that because they were hand shakers that the Makihara and Nagaoka's mentor will be pulled into that dimension when she's giving birth. Dangerous really. Hmm so both of her children were actually born there then eh. Hmm so the two are also able to enter that world when they hold hands eh. Hmm the fact that both are handshakers at that age would mean that they will often become targets for handshakers that pick on weaker opponents like this idiot. Hmm because they were born in the ziggurat Mayumi and Koyori unlike hand shakers from this world will die if they lose in this world. I can see why their parents will be disillusioned as they see their children being targeted. After all this experiment was meant to improve humanity as a whole yet it only seeks to bring out the worst in them instead. I really feel sorry for Mayumi and Koyori though. Sure they were born with special powers but that doesn't mean that they should be targeted by others because of this. With this i guess they will never have a normal life. Man after that revelation the girls father's attitude sure changed a lot. I guess he finally broke under the stress and turned into a villain eh. Hmm taking out enemies in the real world as well as in the ziggurat. Now that is shocking news. Wow to think that the father who in the beginning was a good guy would change so much though. I really feel sorry for his wife though to be paired with this monster. I wonder what actually happened to them after they beat that last pair though since they just vanished. Hmm so one of the effects was Mayumi and Koyori falling into a coma eh. But man for them to lose not just their parents but also their memories as well Mayumi and Koyori really have it tough. So this turn of events is what ultimately caused Makihara and Nagaoka to become enemies eh and also what caused Mayumi to be separated from Koyori eh. Hmm so thats why Makihara kept Koyori asleep then which was to keep her alive because Mayumi was no longer here. Well we all know that emotions are what makes the bonds between hand shakers so strong and what makes them effective as well. But emotions doesn't necessarily need to be real and can also be implanted in this case as well. Surprising actually. Hmm to think that Nagaoka is even more powerful than Kodama though. So this guy was orchestrating events that have happened to Tazuna and Koyori eh. As someone that saw every one of their battles Nagaoka and Mayumi will be no easy foes though thats for sure. Still its nice to see neither Tazuna or Koyori back down from stopping him though. By using different methods Makihara and Tazuna have made Koyori more human while Nagaoka has made Mayumi less so. Now lets see how the final fight would look then. Hmm so in Nagaoka's ziggurat thats accessed from his Nimrod they get their own outfits eh. But man Koyori and Mayumi really had a tough childhood though and the breakdown of the friendship between Makihara and Nagaoka couldn't have been easy either. |

| Nice to see the backstory for Koyori and Makihara. Although it was sad to see Koyori and Mayumi essentially used as tools for experimentation by their parents - they were doomed from the start. Loved the music that began to play as Nagaoka was talking about spying on Tazuna and Koyori - beautiful. |

| Aw, man, Koyori parents gone crazy. More experience of the battle made them torn a part knewing the fact of the endless fights among the Handshaker. How naives, they should know that shit since the beginning. Instead of protected them all as one entity and got an alliances with their junior, they just did the shortest and massive attempt to succeeded the plan: challenge the God. Its revealed to be a failure, obviously. They, after using too much power of Nimrod on Zeggurat banished in the dark side of the world. Ironic. I guessed, they just lost the battle against the god. Such a poor human that never realised that shit, their own power. Even that doctor did not knew the fact about that. What a shit reason they had as a Handshaker. I just hope the battle itself got a better approaching, instead the same crap they had in a previous battle plan. My hope really high. Also, i completely did not understand about these Handshaker thingy. Its original still mystery as their research got blocked because of the sudden birth of Koyori and Mayumi. Still, their characterization were bland af. Unfortunately, Mayumi worse than a silence Koyori. What a shit appearance of the new character, in the edge of the series. How good with that decision! Oh, well. Whatever. Lets just finished what i started! |

| The audacity of this Nagaoka guy. He waits for his sensei to disappear/die, kidnaps one of his comatose daughters, drugs her, then bangs her. Now he comes up to Tazuna and tells him to put Koyori back to sleep so he can "take care of her" (i.e. drug and bang her too) and steal his girl. Definitely the most threatening and competent opponent yet at achieving his goals. |
