| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Too bad the pacing of this anime is too fast, since I was been looking forward to the infiltration of Rin and Doa through the castle. I'm surprised they adapted the part where that guy wanted to whip them. RIP Isaku too. Normally I would think this arc is going to be finished in two episodes, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends by the next one considering how fast this is going. |

| WTF Isaku's name is Feniche Issac Calvario, so is that French , Italian or Portuguese??? I wonder hoe did a urchin like Toa become that good in killing???? Oh so Hyaku is pregnant , i'm guessing the father would be one of those who raped her. Oh shit oh shit Rin is taking alotta lashes, it's good that Toa was able to get back at those bad samurai guys, man she's a wild animal. well, it looks like instead of immortal warriors , what the doctor created were zombies. |
| "Barefoot" and "Badger Hole" arc this episode. Though it seems that we only got to see Rin and Doa escape from the clutches of Lord Habame after the separation from Isaku last episode, it was a much condensed (and rushed as usual) version of the women's side of the story, leaving the scientist and the Lord himself out. To be able to escape and take revenge on Lord Habame, and acknowledging his family of his wife and son, it's definitely not easy for Rin to "act first, think later". Because Doa has been separated from her only support that is Isaku, she has to survive alone, and with Rin, both can go as far to know the Lord's hideous immortal experiments on Manji to give others immortal life through his body parts. But instead, scientist Ayame Burando has created "otter heads" to depict the relentless failures of used humans from Manji's parts, seemingly rendering them useless. To see the women's endeavour to save Manji is great, but then again, having to go through capture and torture time and time again is the norm for them. |

| My prediction that they would rush particularly hard through this arc way off, it seems. Well, at least we're finally getting to my favorite parts of it now: Rin taking a level in badass, getting to kick some ass, and going to Manji's rescue in a nice role reversal for our two leads. I didn't think we'd actually get to see (some of) Doa and Isaku's backstory. And while it's cool that we did, I can't help but wonder if in the long run it wouldn't have been better to skip the stories of these more secondary characters and use that time to flesh out more important ones like Anotsu and Makie. Because to be honest it's a little irksome to me that they cut so much from the story of those two but then they dedicate like two whole episodes to Burando's arc. I guess they simply didn't want to cut any characters altogether, so they're trying to give everyone a little bit of screentime, but I wonder if it wouldn't have been better to sacrifice the more minor players so the major ones could get as much development as possible. It's a difficult decision to make though, so I can understand that they didn't go with that route. Although, now that I think about it, they may have finally cut a character that (IIRC) first appeared in this very episode... |
| If they are bothering to remake the anime and adapt the whole manga, I wish they wouldn't skip so much content. Makie's background especially was neglected |

As a portuguese myself, 100% sure that name is not portuguese. Actualy, it sounds like a mix between italian, french and portuguese, but not an entire nationality. Btw, I must admit I'm pretty lost at the anime since ep 8 or something. Since Manji and Rin got separated. Can someone please summarize me the series until this very ep? I'm really lost. The pace seems speed up since a couple eps ago and I'm lost in the plot and all this new characters. |

| Loved the episode. Just wasn't expecting this anime to get so twisted and creepy. It's horror-like right now. |
| I was moved when I saw Toa saw the crucifix, its so sad that Isaku died. I hope next episode Manji will get out of prison and get rid of those "zombie-like" |

In the manga, it is said that he is portuguese. |
| Waiting for a Gamaran anime adaptation. |
| Love this part, before Manji's capture there was always few people who were kind of a monster, but now we go in full horror with multiple terrible people and victims |

| lol it really seems as if i had read the manga id be pissed about the pacing. i will admit its pretty fast though... i have vague memories of watching the old 2008 anime which ends on the arc that ended like 8 episodes ago or something, however reading the comments i do kinda wish i could have seen some of the parts they cut out. so far definitely enjoying the show, will be between a 7 and 8 for me, leaning towards 8 after these last 2 episodes. at first i was kinda bummed by how the material they cut in the earlier arcs i knew about... but at this point all of what happens next is new to me. however on occasion ive had to look at the wiki to get some backstory i missed from pacing being too fast. jw, why did it need to be crammed into a single season? you would think this is the typeof show that could warrant a few seasons, much much much worse material gets a lot more episodes often. once again all that being said, enjoying this series and glad i will actually get to see an ending (yes ik i could read the manga) |
