More creepy violence this episode...not to mention that priest is back too. Sometimes, I wonder how Rachel even deals with all of this.

We got to find out more about Zack's past and not surprised that it's something unpleasant yet again. This series just doesn't seem to have any happy moments.
Damn right he's a monster.

The glare that Rachel gave as she exterminated the enemies though sure was an intense one. The cameo from Catherine though was interesting. Seems Grey knows quite a bit about Rachel's origins. So the theme for Eddie's floor was phantom hands huh. These tests feel like they're here to determine Rachel's morality. Zack sure established quite the body count after he broke out of his former home. But the ending sure was an unexpected one. Looks like Danny had an upgrade.

Zack backstory was pretty thrilling, a lot of violence and death only caused by one kid.
It wasn't really emotional, but pretty sad that Zack finally got bonded with someone and then that someone got killed. Taking into account that he got revenge as well, he sure cared for the old man.

4/5 So Danny is back?... and with an upgrade?

I really hope, there's an actual explanation of why Danny (and prolly all others floor masters) are not dead.

That was actually fairly terrifying what Rachel did there.

Dang, Rachel's dead eyes.

We've seen quite a few backstories for Zack but this one is the cake on top. Can't wait for the other floor's boss to have story reveals as well.

Rachel's cold eyes send chills up my spine. What a shock seeing her kill all those zombies like that ._."

It was awful and sad how that young couple treat the old man. No wonder Zack got upset about the sad news...

This anime is a real mystery. So Daniel is alive? How can this be??

Rachel might be the bigger monster here.

So I was right, the emphasis on Danny's corpse back in episode 1 wasn't for nothing.

So they adapted the extra part of zack's backstory that was only on the light novel (i guess it was a ln, if i am wrong feel free to correct me) that only existed in japanese.
I'm happy they are adding this additional content to the story but i really want to see the other masters backstories too since they were added in the manga :/
Now that we are half way through (50%) the anime and this episode on the game would probably correspond to 65% of the game or something like that, i guess they will add more stuff from the prequel manga and i just can't wait! The only problem is that idk were it would fit in the main story but yeah.

DANNY IS HERE AGAIN !! Really, i disliked him a lot after i finished the game but then the main and prequel manga came and i love him now.

I totally agree with you. I can't wait to see how they'll focus on Rachel's backstory at some point, and hopefully soon.

Also, I didn't expect Danny to still be alive.

Overall, a pretty good episode with some backstory for Zack. Not the happiest of childhoods had by the lad.

It's more and more interesting. At first I though the priest or idk was using some kind of magic or drug and made Rachel see things that doesn't match with reality (the corpse of Eddie Catherine et Danny + the hands from the ground or the zombies) but Danny is alive.

Also Rachel it's weird (yes I know she is since ep 1 but, well...), I'm starting to think that she really doesn't see things like others by the conversation she had with the priest before going to the next floor.

I really want to know more about her, I think it will explain everything.

This sh*t has become so dark and twisted, I can't help but love it; on a side note, what medication is she looking for... Pretty sure there's no medication that cures a slit abdomen, but if she looking for something that promotes blood coagulation she'd still need bandages -that idiot should've wrapped that injury up first.

Danny's being alive didn't come as a surprise to me and nor did Eddie's being alive, with the exception of Carherine, they've not had much a death to die from... I mean, Zack has had some insane blood loss and he's still around, so why wouldn't they be?

This is actually getting really good every episode.

I can't tell if the child Isaac is voiced by the same actor as the adult Isaac. They speak in the same way, but the child's voice is higher.

Is this story supposed to be supernatural? Or, is there some sort of science behind everything?

Man, I feel sorry for that poor old, blind man. Let's face it though, we hear stories like this a lot of the time and most people don't care because it didn't happen to someone they know or cared about. I remember a story of an old man being robbed and beaten to death by teens, took his money, tv, etc.

Anyways, I think they're changing the story from the game. I don't remember the old man from the game.

Rachel is going cuckoo.

Danny is back.

Yep, definitely different from the game.

Flashback was ok.

Felt simultaneously rushed and slow for some reason.

Probably because the script itself was slow, but it jumped from event to event with minimal in between moments.

Loved the flashbacks for Zach. The couple had it coming. He's my favorite character so far, love his homicidal maniac laughs.

I wonder if Zach is really disfigured. He looks okay to me, so I wonder if his "parents", if they're indeed his real parents, persuaded him he was in order to keep him locked in the house so people would not know his existence. It looks obvious they never sent him to school per example since he doesn't know how to read and write. So I think he either has nothing at all, or he has a scar that they made it bigger than it really is, and kept him in the house. And I wonder, how many people his parents killed and buried in their backward?

I love the serie and I've bought the game the serie is based on, but I want to finish the anime first before playing the game.

Maybe the floor masters regenerate every time they die so as to continue their job. They make these extreme situations so as to define the morality of each soul ..kinda like in "Death Parade" ? My guess is that Rachel is probably dead and she is being judged to going either to heaven or hell, the show is called "Angels Of Death" after all. Also, she knows that she is condemned ( but yet she isn't ready to truly realise and accept it) so she is trying to save Jack's soul ...

Danny isn't dead because he saved himself with the meds on his floor, which is why Ray wasn't able to find any. Which also explains what Gray means when he say that it's Ray's fault that she can't find any

The "Parents" you were talking about were the owner of the orphanage. Zack bandaged himself up because his entire body was burned. So no, it's not just a mark or a scar, it's burned skin all over his body. Didn't you see the odd color around his eyes? That's the color of his skin underneath all the bandages.

The old man isn't from the game but he IS canon. I forgot where I read it from, but I think it's like a side story written in a light novel format or something. But Zack's history with the old man is definitely canon.

Actually, it was not really well explained in the anime, but that "green goo" was just Zack's vomit from the beginning of episode 2. Nothing mysterious here. Except from the fact that a vomit threw itself to her after a short chase of course, but we have seen weirder things. After all, Ray was on high drugs thanks to Gray...

"They were in my way."

"Why are you making me do this?"
"So that I can ascertain what sort of person you are."

I am getting some heavy Catherine/Dante's Inferno vibes here...

Hmm...in the game, did you have the option to choose what you did to proceed to the next floor? And does that alter the game's ending? I'm pretty sure it does, right?

Oh yeah, kill a woman then use her car as your bed!

Zack grew up being surrounded by happy people who prey on the weak...KILL EM ALL!

Danny found Zack...damn it! What happens next! I actually caught up with this anime in one weekend. Keep it going!

I loved this episode cause you get to see zack`s past and normally I hate backround stories but I really loved it. Plus zack was some savage kid
"I killed a guy, I wanted to kill some one so I killed him."
Also, If some thing is in your way...kill them! according to Rachel

And if you see some one that killed someone, Don`t call the police.. KILL` EM ALL.Man this anime is great anyway...

Anyway, aside from the kind of crappy way the zombies died, Id say this was a good episode. Also nice to see Danny's creepy self coming back, makes sense that he'd be able to treat himself, and we never really saw him die either.
