| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh boy, this episode is definitely hyping/building up for the finale. The inevitable war between humans and those monsters is coming. At this pacing, it makes sense with the events coming together. I really hope Yuuta knows what he's doing and setting up for. He's barely recovered after all that and seemingly going to be part of a war that determines their future. |
 |
| Gridnight... cool. Yuuta development is showing in this episode with his connection to Gridman. Utsumi showing some personality this episode as well. Pretty exciting events have happened in this episode with Akane, I want to see what will happen with her self turning into a Kaijuu. Really excited with the last episode, I have no idea what will happen so I hope it will surprise me. Still overwhelmed by the amazing direction and layouts in this show, I can stare at some shots for days and just adore them. |
  |
| I wonder how they’ll tie it all up with the last ep, we still have two bad guys. Ep was great, hopefully Trigger doesn’t fuck it up |
 |
| another good episode, Akane becoming the final Kaiju there eh and Yuta got his memories back and he really is Gridman after all, his eyes become gold too after his amnesia is gone |
| AOTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| Final boss Akane. Legit hyped for the last episode. |

| Wow. This series is amazing honestly. Trigger also managed to be sneaky with the op with the cardboard cutter Episode 1-10  Episode 11  |
 |
| A bit boring compared to the previous episodes. Hopefully the last episode will be nice and give all the background info and a nice ending where Alexis gets beaten. |
| Absolutely loved these last two episodes. Pushed my score up. Amazing show so far. I hope it finishes strong next week. I assume they'll manage to save Akane somehow |
 |
| ooh, I wonder what Akane's kaiju looks like. Setting up to be a big finale. I was surprised by Rika's aloofness when she announced she was going to school after our boy got stabbed. Although I'm well aware about the weird priorities and worldview of MAL'ers, it still surprises me that a show like this can rank almost a point and a half lower than a stock middle of the range isekai like Slime. Shouldn't they be around the same? Just saying. |

| This was so good, and intense that I can't even; that's certainly a way to start the penultimate episode. Akane neutralized Yuuta and Gridman by stabbing him, and breaking Junk. The city wasn't resetting anymore either, and I just love the apocalyptic feeling it had. Anti stepped up to the fight too, and though I feel kind of bad for Utsumi, I found funny how he was the only one out of the loop. Well, to be fair Rikka was partially out of it too. But Anti was there to repay his debt to Rikka and Calibur, but also because he is a good boy with feelings no doubt. That's why Utsumi saying that nothing can change the fact that he is a Kaiju as if he were nothing more than it, or directing his frustration to him felt petty. It must suck to feel useless in a time like this though, and he also felt guilty for enjoying the battles up to now, so I do feel kind of bad for him (2). Calibur's laugh was precious though, I agree with Rikka's mother, and god I wish that were me, the one being carried like a princess by Calibur I mean. lol And to be honest I didn't see it coming, Yuuta not being Yuuta, but only Gridman borrowing his body. And I knew that even if Akane tried to regret her actions, or something like it, that Alexis would be there to ruin it all. I didn't expect him to turn her into a Kaiju though, but it is fitting and it must be the only one that is going to be more terrifying than the one which was her heart. The last episode has everything it needs to be crazy cool, I can't wait!REALLY PRECIOUS. ♥ |
 |
| Should've gone for the head, Akane |
| Woooh boy...now we're talking about the final stretch! Last episode's stabbing was brutal, but done for a reason. And seriously, Akane is at the point where she already lost her sense of humanity (not like she had any to begin wirth) and now...she's a kaiju being manipulated for the longest time. The connection between Yuta and Gridman was subconscious though, after all this while that they both fought together, and now have become one...so Gridman borrowing Yuta's body? Just speculation...but only after that reveal where Yuta had no memories to begin with is where everything makes sense. The largely irrelevant (IMO) Utsumi finally got his character development breakthrough, and it's nice to see him standing up for Yuta. So Yuta X Gridman + Anti (Gridknight) vs. Alexis & Akane the Kaiju, definitely pumped for the final battle. |

| Man I forgot how retarded Reddit is sometimes. Idiots there think the nakama speech at the end means that Rikka and Akane are apparently lesbians now. Fucking lmao. That aside great episode. |
| This is messed up. Akane is a best god |
 |
| lmao the beginning reminds me of the death of makoto from school days |
| Great episode, it was brilliant directing to keep up the suspense throughout the episode and there were some amazing soundtracks during the intense moments! Really enjoyed this episode! Last episode’s assault on Yuta by Akane neutralised Gridman and the whole general mysterious atmosphere it created was exceptional! Looks like the town is not resetting either because of those giant kaijus that have been taken down already, things are really heading for a gripping finale! And with that cliffhanger, I’m hyped to see what’s next! Lots of heartwarming and tense moment throughout the episode though. Alexis is continuing his relentless attack, while Anti, or GridKnight, is trying to repel all his attacks. A lot of storytelling from Gridman too, although I’m not sure exactly what they all meant, but it was nice to see the duo working together to fight back against Alexis army. Final battle is soon to come with Alexis and Akane vs Gridman and GridKnight and I’m sure it’ll be just as amazing as all the buildup! Some of the scenes featuring Rikka’s mother, in particular, were hilarious, especially the moment when Gridman transformed and the awkward silence that took place right after xD. I just love these subtle hilarious moments of this show, the animation slowing down then just makes it all the more hilarious for some odd reason. Rikka and Akane scene at the end there was nice to watch too, it looks like Akane really is struggling here. All in all, a phenomenal set up to set the climax of the show! Xenogears1989 said: Heck of a setup for the finale, don't know how they will wrap this all up in one episode although Amemiya, the staff and even the singer of the opening have hyped it as the best one and in terms of direction and sakuga I expect it to be maybe on par with episode 9. The staff for it is awesome, BahiJD (who did the opening of Atom The Beginning), Ikarashi the storyboarder of episode 9, Yoshinari, Sushio, Janda, Mutaguchi and Hiroki, strong young talents and veterans. In short they have their best guys on it, can't wait. Great news! I’m really looking forward to next week’s Sunday now, thanks for sharing this! |

| boy this episode, worried we really won't get a happy end for Akane that transformation looked neat also unexpected laughing Calibur starting to think Rikka's mom is growing the hots for him Hass is a underrated side character |
 |
| Akane : you'll die for that.!!! Ace_39 said: Should've gone for the head, Akane - so... what'll be happen next? - then, where is real yuuta right now? |
| Now Loading..... |
| So, Yuta was Gridman all the time. Akane is the final boss. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| So, does this mean that every since Episode 1, this was just Gridman dwelling inside Yuta, thinking he was Yuta, and also talking to himself on the computer, and somehow thinking that he isn't Gridman? How? I don't quite get it. If that's the case, then why didn't Gridman realize it was him when he saw himself on the computer on Episode 1? Shouldn't he have known that was him if he was Gridman inside Yuta? |
 |
| Can't wait to see how Kaiju Akane looks like and that green-haired loli kaiju better appear next episode or I will be really disappointed. |

| Don't believe the hype. |
| That ED song is fucking perfect! w/ Akane transforming |
 |
 Me during the whole series |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| damn i just realize that there is no past relationship between Rikka and Yuta at all then, damn there goes the ship falling down |

Expecting a revelation of pre-episode 1 Yuuta next episode and why he was chosen as the host.damn i just realize that there is no past relationship between Rikka and Yuta at all then, damn there goes the ship falling down GreenEmu said: Glad I keep away from those forums.Man I forgot how retarded Reddit is sometimes.

deg said: damn i just realize that there is no past relationship between Rikka and Yuta at all then, damn there goes the ship falling down Past relationships were so obligatory for their ship? I do not think so. Moreover, he developed feelings for her, initially without knowing her. |
 |
| Akane..there she goes, not even being able to kill properly Weird God So, is a Gridknight X Gridman Fusion possible? if yeah, that would be my guess for the next episode |
 |
| Kaijuu Akane is going to unleash such a huge wave of giantess porn, I'm calling it right now. |
| SSSS gridman was my most anticipated weekly anime, and this episode makes me consider dropping it before the final episode. Pretty much every character got destroyed. annoying drama, cheesy dialogue. the show was an interesting watch but it fails at raising stakes since I can't feel anything for these characters that are presumably not real humans. |
 |
| Now we hope they don't fuck up the ending. |
