Damn, this episode got really exciting. We got a huge battle involving Juzo where he fights against the olds.

Seven has also grown to me as a character in recent episodes through his personality. What a cliffhanger. Now only 2 episodes left.

Cannot wait to see Juzo kick ass next week, like holy fuck. It was interesting to see much more into his background.

Damn man wasn’t expecting the flashback/time travel set up, but this is really good for getting some valuable info on Juzo’s partner and what exactly happened in the past. Gonna be a wild end to this season

Juzo!!! Im very much wondering about the chicken and the egg hypothesis. Given that last scene I am very much expecting Juzo to be awakening to his full potential. However given the story so far is his awakening part of his sub brain being hacked with harmony as has been said is needed to activate his full potential, or is the harmony kid just in Juzos consciousness watching him awaken to his full potential while Juzo is processing all his past experience.

Shit, philosophers could argue for hundres of years on what we just experienced. Hopefully next week will bring us closer to the answer!

I didn't even know those Extend in the end, just met them for a minute or so and I felt so sorry for them when Juzou blew them up.

The teacher-student fight of Kronen and Kunugi, is sure as hell entertaining, but being superseded by Seven and Juzo's fight is of importance (at least to this episode).

Juzo's backstory of his Hands partner and him being a Gun Slave Unit, the difference between him and Seven (with Pepper) is "to be controlled or to be your own free man", something that is heavily emphasized time and time again with Juzo and his personality.

The mission to eradicate the remaining Gun Slave Units and their Hands, well that was indicative of the history of why he killed Five. Juzo was of only sound mind as a soldier and nothing more, in a time where the remaining GSUs are done and their worth well spent through their Hands, one step into the outside world and they are in danger.

And that's what Juzo did, to give them a baited direction and Funke Faust his trigger to one-shot them. THAT WAS TERRIFYING and cold to turn his back on his fellow GSUs in treachery.

What an episode. Hoping that Juzo will be able to make his decisions by himself in the end.

This episode had a deep meaning behind its conversation, at least for me. A lot of explanations, much information to be added, especially with the past memories of Juuzo. There were quite a lot of character's development, about Juuzo, Seven, Pepper, and Tetsuro. Best episode for me. Unfortunately Kronen's action somehow dissapointed me. I can't do anything, because this episode was all about Juuzo!

Yeah, finally. Juzo's memory when slaughtering all of his comrades revealed. Somehow its underwhelming, watched them all at a poor condition and being slaughterred without even have a proper fight. Damn. The composition of every Guns Slave Unit body was unbeliavable. They were all no more human. But keep the humanity seems to be a complex trouble for them. Look how the rest of them being broken, without anyone care about it.

Ah, Juuzo at the past, looked too badass to be even stand with to me. I just love his style at that time. Not to mention how badassess his Hands was too, with that cowboy style. Nice! Now, i am really curious about his current status. Was he death or something? I hope the next episode will give another information about him!

I believed, Juuzo was actually regretted for betraying his own comrades. However, the mission still a mission for him, at that time. He couldn't fight the settings that had planted on his body. So, when the time he realized, he just too late and slowly changed himself afterwards into his current state. He just needed to stop them all at one blow, to finished their misery. Regret have always comes later. That is what made Juuzo aware of his human side, and stops completely being a tool, and acted independently afterwards. Respect his decision, and respect his Hands positions on that situations. Well, what a desperate memories, Juuzo.

Seven versus Thirteen.
An unfair battle without a help of any Hands, Seven surely had an upper hand. His Devil Backbones changed was unbeliavable. That was huge. A double giant gun with a huge blast within them. But, its nothing compared with Juuzo last changed at his past memories. Lmao. I just love Juuzo's monologue that still want to taught her young comrade about the meaningful choice of his own action. He just wanted Seven to had a lesson for not becaming Juuzo's past self at all. But alas, Seven just a simple simp to Pepper. I can't argue with his decision, tho. However, it just met the situations complex, because Juuzo did not aggree with the situations, and Pepper just a complete stubborn girl. The result of a different thought might lead them to have an endless clash afterwards. Lets see the next one, step aside Tetsuro's inner thought that had its own good for him Its felt like, no need for me to exploit it in details on this commentary. Once again, this is all about Juuzo!

That's nice and all, but a flashback episode in the middle of the most important fight? That's a big turn off for me

Love this episode! JUZO in his darkest hour! I hope being triggered by Harmony will help him out. I wonder if his ex-partner/hands will appear again.

What an incredible episode. Juzo's character development was insane this week. I hope we get to see him kick ass with his special limiter. The flashbacks were perfect to see the backstory of Juzo.

Well, it seems the lock Harmony had doesn't work now that Andy is dead.

Really interesting retrospective episode. Now I know why the outcome with Five wasn't shown. In the end and as expected, Juuzou killed him... but alongside the rest of Gun Slave Units in cold blood after having given them some precious hope. Man, that was merciless.

And also damn, Juuzou is about to go berserk next episode.

I kinda felt like there was a drop midway through this season but the ending looks like it's gonna be great. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint after the last two eps. Also wonder if the main part if this fight will be full cg like in the ed song.

Yep, it was a mission Juzo must accomplish but he actually regretted for betraying his own comrades. The episode was pretty good, sadly the flashback appeared too late.

Damn. I was really looking forward to seeing a fight scene between Kronen and Kunugi, but I guess that didn't happen.

Seven is weird in how he's so possessive of Pepper. What is there to like about her, really?

Maaan that memory of Juzo's. That was rough.

man this situation after the war was so fucked up. The devices helped only to be murdered right after. Juuzo was also pretty cold back then. He let them get hope only to crush it right away. I'm guessing this is one of his biggest regrets as it made him realize what he has done with his free will.
