| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I personally liked it a lot. Great animation and voicing as always. |
| Bro who tf cutting onions? That was a beautiful episode both stylistically and message wise. The fight choreography and animation during Jin v Han was absolutely amazing. Coupled with the backstory about his friend and gradually accepting Mira and Jin over the course of the fight got me tearing up. One of my fave eps of the year. If only friends like in anime existed. |
 |
| After the BIG OOF cliffhanger that is Daewi's full-on annihilation against Mira, the memories of his past life linger in red, crimson blood, of his disease-stricken friend Woo Seung-Tae. A gang lord in high school through and through, the friend-in-arms is the one who pulled him through the harshes of life, and the punishment, the damage cost from the tournament. Group B's match of Renewal Takewondo Jin Mori vs. Brazilian Jiujitsu Byun Jae-Hee...WOW what a SHORT fight, TOO SHORT...for a 10 second preview for an entire chapter. Mira is recovering OK, but clearly Daewi's advancement was pressured for his friend, a wish for a friend-in-arms. And finally, the finals between Jin and Daewi (as always when it comes to spending limited time for the highlight). Pulling no fake punches there though, mostly one-sided fights now. It's of such atrocity that the wish could not be made in time, much less Daewi's desperation to pull through to beat Jin down. As if his desperation was taking over the biggest fight of his life, Mira came over to give Daewi some inspiration from his now-deceased friend to finish this match to the very end. The calligraphy visuals was a very nice aesthetic I've gotta say, for living up to the hype of the Webtoon. A fight of idiotic friendship, haha, but the stance is true between the trio. The Judges have figured out Daewi and Jin's game: Jin Mori isn't just part of the "Tiger Cub", but Daewi is too. And we may have new characters along the way...what game-changing tactics do these people have to bring in the game? We'll find out soon enough... |
 |
| A short backstory to start the episode which was nice but the main part of this episode was Mori Jin vs Daewi Han. Surprisingly the fight was done pretty well. Both of their moves were sick but a bit exaggerated XD. Daewi fought well but it's a win for our boy Mori. That last scene with all three of them were sweet. |
 |
| Another rushed episode, but that being said, it was a decent episode nonetheless. I didn't expect the big showdown to be until the second half of the episode, but it started a quarter way in. The fight started out pretty dope, but the ending was a little anti-climactic. Neat addition though, in the middle of the fight, they utilized a weird art style which i assume was depicting more of a Manhwa art-style (I have never read one, so I may be mistaken) and it started out very abstract and then got more detailed. While there were lazier parts of the fight, it still contained an abundance of well choreographed moments. Like I said, it ended pretty abruptly and definitely could have left some of the friends backstory out to make the episode flow more smoothly and have a more intense fight, without breaking away every other minute to another flashback. Also, I really am not a fan of how cool martial arts turns into teleporting and energy beams and whatnot, but I understand that, being an anime, what else could one expect. |
 |
| Woah, the battle between Mori and Daewi is pretty good Daewi's friend is dead, I feel sorry for Daewi, but Daewi's friend left a message, and the message made Daewi better Mori's attack in the last part was really epic, he destroyed about 30% of the arena I'm glad to see the three of them laugh together again |
 |
| Holy fuck what a final match. Honestly epic. Now I'm curious where we go from here, looking like even more tough matches ahead. Cannot wait. |
| Overall, having his friend die was the correct decision for the story and characters, even though it was sad. I'm glad that they didn't pull a sudden reversal on that score. I didn't get the feel of high school delinquent from Han Daewi, but it does make sense with the random people always bothering him in the present as he works his jobs. The idea that he'd never thought of Jin or Yoo as friends makes me confused as to why he would go to the wedding and try to disrupt it (unless he had already made the deal with Mr. Shady and knew that he needed to fight Yoo and win in order to have his friend be treated.) |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| It was a good episode, nothing too crazy except for the part when they switched to first-person perspective for a few seconds. I really think it would be cool if they did that more often. |
Migi... Handle the defense. |
RIP Daewi's bro Some nice sakuga at the end. The sakuga kinda carries this show. |
 |
| it failed short of becoming too emotional there ah well still great episode the direction or execution is lacking on this show lol nice that Daewi have new friends now guess that Daewi is the loner/emo/serious type like Vegeta/Sasuke while Mori is the easygoing/simple-minded/friendly type like Goku/Naruto  |
| Jin's definitely the type of fighter who doesn't go down easily. But at the same time, the episode revealed more of Han's background story, which is kinda interesting I guess. He fits the type of badass archetype you'd find in this type of show. I wasn't sure who to cheer up for in the fight tbh but Hans seems more like an interesting character than Jin. Heh, the fight had some artistic style to it in the final few minutes. |
 |
| If only they'd keep this up for other episodes as well. This episode puts the last one to shame. Please be consistent from now on MAPPA. The calligraphy style animation when they resumed fighting was amazing. Let's keep this up so I don't have to rate this anime a 5. |
 I said keep your hands on the table |
| Jin vs Daewi was a great fight. Loved it. Now that Seoul's preliminary is over, I guess we can expect more amazing fights. |
 |
| From start to the end this episode was had me on the edge of my seat. They really did go all out with the action in this episode. I really like the changes in art in the later parts of the fight. |
 |
| Better than the last episode as it mostly focused on one fight and artistically, looked good. I like the calligraphy touches that were maintained from the webtoon and brought to life when mixed with the action-packed choreography. But the actual drama and flashbacks felt super rushed especially after the last episode, and that subplot really fell completely flat with no emotion brought out from me whatsoever. The music in the fight too was really bad and lacked any sort of flair and intensity that the visuals managed to bring out. I couldn't care at all for the friendship thing at the end since they badly rushed and wrote out the chemistry prior to this so all of this just feels plastic to me, but at least the fact that there was way more action and less bland, bullshit storytelling or a minimum of 'trying to write stuff that feels severely out of place compared to last week', makes this a small improvement. Still hate the show but minor credit I'll give where credit's due. |
| This episode was heaps better than the previous. Good action. Also that smooth Italian vanilla gelato voice by Tsuda Kenjiro at the end. I wonder what kind of character it is this time - last boss? |

| Easily the best episode so far for me, really curios to see where it goes next. |
| I had to be honest with myself before starting this episode: Why am I still watching this? The only reason I had to keep going was for the action/fights. And maaaaaaan was this delivered in this episode. Of course there are massive problems with this episode but when I'm on my meathead shit all that other stuff will be my last priority. And this moment:  just beautiful. This was the first time I can actually hear the OST and it was really good. |
 |
| well that was a nice final episode, an amazing ep long fight scene and a great end to this 5 ep OVA series wow 40/10 ....oh wait there's still more eps |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| It wasn't a completely deplorable episode, but the whole pacing of the story and just the quickfix generic "friendship" setup to begin with just makes the episode feel plastic, even though the ink-drawing animation choice was pretty cool, imo. I want to like and feel for Han, but there just isn't really enough to make me care more about his motivation then and now. Oh yea, the awful tonal shifts continue....like seriously, they're trying to make a heavy scene with emotional music in the bg, and you got fucking Jin arguing in the back with the announcers, chibi style (yet again)....like wtf. It would've been a better decision imo to extend Han's character segment to at least two or three episodes, but with how the plot has had no time to "breathe", in addition to the growing number of unanswered plot points, it just feels wasted. Oh yea, more new characters being introduced all the sudden -_- |
 |
| Amazing episode. Great action and I just love characters like Daewi. I'm glad they added some flashbacks with his dead friend to help understand their friendship. Putting them before the fight would have been better, but I didn't mind the in-between. It still had the emotional impact imo. On the other hand I wish I could enjoy the main trio's friendship more, but it's hard with how rushed this series is. Just have to deal I guess :v |
 |
| aww this was a sweet episode :) |
 |
| Holy shit best episode so far |
| Great fight scene between Daewi and Jin. |
 |
| A decent episode. The flashback was not fleshed up properly due to being rushed. Nevertheless, those fight scenes makes up the anime adaptation. |
 |
| this episode was great compared to the disappointing last week's episode |
 |
| Okay episode. Definitely not the best non sequel currently airing would have to give that one to misfit. |
| Well, at leas this flashback was much better than Mira's. Great episode. Still bothers me the fact that the other competitors are weak as fuck compared to the main's, and what the hell was that BJJ?? Was more like to kung fu or something else far way from jiu jitsu. Hope this tournament was only a warm up, cause there were only 2 good fights so far. |
| I neither agree nor disagree, on the contrary. |
| What a boring ass fight. The flashbacks between the fights was pretty dumb and I just didn't care about it. |
 |
| Very good development for Daewi, RIP his friend, but like he said at the end he realizes that he's not alone and that Jin and Mori are his friends too, sure it was emotional. |
 |
| This was probably the first episode of the show that impressed me. The fight between the two was by far their best one. So many emotions put into the fight which made it much more engaging. I loved the different art styles introduced as well. And that ending was very powerful. Very monumental improvement over the disaster of last weeks episode. Bravo |
| There's a river in my eyes, holy god, that EP was amazing, Jin is the best MC. |
 |
| this episode was fking amazing |
