| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- looks like Edamura is gonna go against the plan. the whole sentimentality with leader lady's son and the necktie probably pushed him over. i'm sure Laurent did this whole thing probably in good faith, like a loving memory for Dorothy, but revenge stories usually don't end well |
 |
| Damn the atmosphere in this entire episode was really heavy. I'm really worried, hope Edamura doesn't pull some crap. Whatever he's upto I hope he's got everyones well being in his mind. |
 |
| yep Edamura will ruin the plan for sure but this arc is called the Wizard of the Far East so i guess Edamura will replace his father as the next Wizard Con Artist that Edamura will make a better plan |
| Soooo ... both are going to pay money to each other while trying to kill each other. With the killing that might actually work ... while the con artists take all the money. (200 billion yen is a lot in dollars.) I wonder if the necktie might have had some tracking device added to it. Or some mic to listen on the conversation Edamama has. Weird that just with the translation this was possible ... if anoyne knew at least a few words of the other language they might have noticed something was off. |
| Damn, I am worried. Hopefully Edamura doesn't do some crazy shit, well he's known to do some crazy shit so let's see what happens. |
 |
| Man, they're kind of hinting that Edamame will backstab them but then again, he may and may not at the same time. I know that doesn't make sense but I think he'll carry on with the plan but in his own way? If that makes any sense. I would be pleasantly surprised if Edamame has the balls to betray all the conmen in the series. I'm guessing he misses his mom and sees yakuza mama as a surrogate mother. |
| 臭い- |
| Good episode so far. Edamura looks to be at the end of his rope same with Laurent. Edamura, Laurent please don't do anything to rash. This episode was mostly prep for the big day but like one comment said atmosphere was thick as hell. Two episodes left baby lets see how they rap it up. |
| What's a death sentence without some foreshadowing of plans for Edamura, but that's for the best to continue the big plan to topple the Japanese and Shanghai mafia gangs without his knowledge as a showman. The ONLY outlier I'm worried about now is Edamura and how his action plans will deviate from the original plan of Laurent's to seed confusion and mislead them off, to final nail to the coffin to put an end to all of this. For self or for loyalty, is the question of Edamura. |
 |
| ITS GONNA HAPPEN I DONT KNOW WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN BUT ITS GOING TO HAPPEN |
| Edamura's easily the most interesting character in this arc. Who knows what he's got planned, especially since Akemi Suzaku's treated him almost like family ever since the fake shootout of Cynthia, Abigail and his father. He's also been used a ton by Laurent and lied to constantly by everyone around him, so in the end, he just is gonna do what he wants to do. Pawn might turn to the king for this game. |
| Well I think thing's aro gonna end well for Laurent, even if Edamura feels betrayed by the team, he won't screw up the plan |
| “Life is a constant process of dying.” |
| So when Abi and Chyntia were shot and fell into the sea, Shi-won had already dived under the sea and brought them aboard Laurent. |
 |
| So all the jobs that Laurent has taken Makoto on up to this point were just leading up to this big payoff? For his own personal revenge? What a manipulative bastard. |
| Let's shit on Makoto and mess with his psyche to the point of (almost) no return - The Anime |
| Wait, is this anime so underrated there isn't an Episode 23 (end) discussion? What have I missed?! |
| Yeah I can't help but feel that Edamame's gonna deviate from the plan somehow. The guy wears his heart on his sleeve, after all! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Very good episode and great development of plan, the final 2 episodes are gonna be very interesting to watch |
| I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen. I feel a betrayal or someone is going to die for real. |
| 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. |
| Seems like everyone is stuck in the past. The final current is finally close at hand. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Abbie and Cynthia are alive! As expected xD Laurent and Edamame translating the wrong sentences was hella funny xD why cant no one from both companies learn a little bit of each others language. Abbie is really lookin out for Makito, best girl? -> after Cynthia imo. 2 episodes left.. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| So far scamming the organisations seems like cutting cake for Edamame and Laurent with the way they pitted them against each other. |
 |
| I think we're about to find out who'll be the greatest of the pretenders. And damn that sure was a lot of capsule toys. |
| I don't like Edamura new attitude. It's really pissing me off. |
| Damn, I hope Edamamura doesn't go against their plan |
 |
| What would have happened if Makoto had shot his dad on the head? Actually, what made our gang think that Akemi would "kill" Makoto's dad and would take in Makoto in the organisation, if not kill him for the betrayal? Lmao seems very convenient for the plot to me. |
