Damn, I didn't think he would actually die. I mean it was completely reasonable because the dude was basically on his last legs, but like it's anime. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see where they go from here.

Milo is just too kind, he want Bisco to go out with Pawoo because he knows that Bisco is a very good guy and he think his sister deserve to be with such a guy like Bisco even though it's Milo that want Bisco much much more, but he's not gonna say that out loud, not until the very end of Bisco's life, yes, I Love You is used in the most perfect spot, even if it's too cruel. I really hope this can be concluded as romantic feeling and not "a strong soulmate feeling that transcendence the relationship as we know" bullshit. Gay is just a 3-letter word but why it's so hard for people to say it.

But what'll happen in the future? Since this show has "Bisco" in its name, I predict 2 outcomes.
1. Bisco is alive (best outcome for me), maybe Kurokawa is alive too, after all, Terminator franchise doesn't end at Terminator 2 with the classic "I'll be back" ending.
2. Bisco died and Milo assume the name of Bisco, continuing Bisco legendary journey.

it's called platonic love you can love another guy like a brother and not be gay lol

Daily reminder lava can't kill you instantly only arrow can. Is he really dead? It wasn't impactful at all. Looks like the final episode but looks like it isn't over yet.

Hello, does anyone here know where can I find that somber/sad tune/song playing during nearly any sad event in this series? For example in this episode it was playing near the end during Milo’s and Bisco’s dialogue… thanks, I can’t seem to find it anywhere, been trying to find it since ep. 1

Seeing people say that "Bisco was going to die anyway might as well do it in style" makes me cringe. I felt nothing when Bisco died, his death was boring and dragged out. Bisco's death would have mattered more if he died from the rust itself. Rust the disease that he himself was trying to cure in order to save his mentor and reclaim the righteous name of the mushroom keepers. Rust the number 1 killer in this new world finally killed this brash caring hero. When Milo found Bisco at that moment where his fingers rusted off, your damm sure Milo would have poured his soul into saving Bisco. Milo doesn't give up easily, we've seen this in the episode with the giant crab. Milo's kindness and determination are core parts of his personality. Milo shouldn't have shot Bisco from a distance but have Bisco die in his arms, surrounded by a person that loves him. I don't know if Bisco could have survived; probably not but dude should have gotten to die by his friends side and not the governors.


Well technically he was dying from the rust. Though I agree that Milo's reaction did seem off. However, given the situation of Bisco sinking in lava and that Bisco already lost his arm because it was all rust(how do you even move at this point?) is probably why he didn't try jumping in to save him. The most he could have done is shoot a mushroom to try to pop him back up but who even knows if he would survive the impact and not shatter into pieces.
Also Milo is a doctor so he probably could tell that Bisco wouldn't last much longer. He also only just entered into the scene to just save Bisco in the nick of time with a bow. And as soon as he did that they where down in the lava. (also realistically lava is to hot to even get near as you would be cooked alive by the heat)

Honestly, I would also have to disagree with him being dead. At least completely. There was just to many hints of him "crawling out of hell" and stuff like that combined with the fact he is in the tittle and that the series still has 3 episodes left. Usually it's just one or two "I will live on in you" and then they die.

I don't think it's likely he is dead but I know better than to get my hopes up that a character is still alive. (Shinsekai yori, From the New World got me there). I can see a couple of ways he may be still existing. The most likely of them is unlikely to last to long, though.


Yeah I also don't think he's dead, dead. The whole tone of his "death" just feels off. If this is his fake out death, it just could have been executed a whole lot better.

The flames surrounding Bisco reminded my of those old stock fire gifs, people would use as a joke. IDK why maybe cause his "death" seemed so corny.

Didn't know which one between Bisco or Milo would die first, since episode 8 kinda teased a dying (but not so dying) Milo. Turns it was Bisco who met Death first, alongside Kurokawa who... well he died but it wasn't particularly satisfying or enjoyable to watch, as the Sea of Rust didn't really seem to make him suffer at the end.

Story itself is not too bad for a shonen that tries to look like it's a seinen. The sad thing is that last few eps were really bad in terms of animation and directing. Well, it's not like Sabikui Bisco had a great directing to begin with but at least it had it's own cool style. It's funny that a lot of people hyped for the studio with great staff behind it but in the end the only well-made episodes were the first two or three.

Gotta say though it's not like I was watching the show for a great animation. I'm actually always fine with average productions as long as the story is good, but it's really hard to tolerate poor director's job. The whole Bisco fight was of some Index3 fighting scenes level which is obviously borderline unwatchable.

As for Bisco's death, while a bit lame, it's ok. Still have to admit, that it's hard to believe that Sabikui Bisco will be any good without him. I've already lowered my rating from 8 to 7 few eps back and looking at it now, I'm interested whether it will drop lower.

How can something so simple feel so disjointed. The episode had a clear thread about Bisco final growth towards Milo and the grampa, but it felt like different parts put together with no sense of tension. The fight against Kurokawa was too anti-climatic and it just work as some kind of shock, the dramatic aspect didnt hit at all and they were clearly going for it, my only hope is that this wasnt suppose to be an important climax and that the sacrifice let something better at the future. The problem? I'm 100% sure that we are going to get motivational phrases from Milo about this, and they will be corny as fuck

lava and liquefied rust are two different things. sure it looked hot as hell and probably is but anime logic exists too

Your correct it is not technically lava given the definition of lava. I was mostly referring to the fact that people who fall into a pit off molten metal have never been known to survive. For some perspective: Molten lava's melting point is 700-1200°C whereas iron is 1535°C which is close to iron (iii) oxide(Rust) which has a melting point of 1565°C. So, molten metal is often even hotter than lava.
Even if you manage to pull someone out, they will still die.

There is definitely some anime logic going on. You would sink much faster.

This has been complete nonsense bullshit for a few episodes now. There's still value in the show being cool and crazy thanks to the wild aesthetic, so it can survive this, but there's no way for it to have an emotional impact at this point. I suppose this is at least more memorable than mini adventures in the desert, but it's not very good.

RIP Bisco I don't think he should die.
And the way he died was somehow more ridiculous than sad and emotional.
The bond between Bisco and Jabi is very strong, and so is Bisco and Milo.

That's not completely correct. for example in One Piece there's a character that say's that to a little boy that he most definitely didn't like romantically.

But the animation direction was superb in this , with incredibly strong drawings and composition work . So maybe it's worth continuing just for that .....

Seeing Bisco dying was a sad moment but it was predictable, because we had a death flag but what are they planning with Bisco's death and why did Milo confess his love to Bisco? I'm not very sure, that Bisco would be such a great influence to like Kamina to Simon in TTGL. We have 3 episodes remaining but this show goes nowhere and it's already repititive, it had its potential but turned out to be a disappointment.

It can also be used to express fondness to friends and family. I'm not against anyone, is just that it makes way more sense that Milo said that he loves him specially at that moment where Bisco was about to die. Not EVERYTHING has to be romantic.

If Milo said 'I like you' (suki desu) it wouldn't be as impactful considering the situation.

Also the person who you replied didn't said anything about being against it, they just said they don't want to believe it, maybe for a bunch of other valid reasons rather than 'they're homophobic'.. Just saying.

About "aishiteru" you can be right, it can be use for a really deep family bond, but in that context I don't think will be the case. And if the idea were just say that he likes him like a really good friend, he could say "Daisuki"

But, believe me, if Milo were a girl nobody here would doubt that the "aishiteru" was in a romantic form, just saying

You wouldn't sink at all.

You would however be vaporized.

It hardly matters though, this show has been "beyond dumb" from the first episode.

Ok but people are also ignoring the fact that when Milo went to sleep, Bisco made a monologue about how he saw him as his children and how now he understood Jabi. How weird would it be that Bisco seeing Milo as his children, this one would have a sudden confession of ROMANTIC love. No, they see each other as friends, family. They both basically GREW together since Milo NEVER experienced a life outside the walls and Bisco never experienced growing with someone outside Jabi who was his dad-mentor.

And to be honest, the problem wouldn't be if it's a real love confession, the problem would be how TERRIBLE was made if that's the case. But it isn't.

Ok, this was by far the worst episode yet. Like previous was bad too but this was just too bad. Like I didn't get why they did not kill the BBEG when they could (last ep) and now the fight was just bad. Like how the hell was he sinking into that hot iron so long, I am not even gonna talk about the headshot that somehow didn't kill him. And speaking of the death scene ... I just could not care less for him, like he is just too likely to somehow return like we had Milo dying just at the end of the last episode and I still don't know how he survived. Oh, wait that's right plot armor how could I forget.

I agree that Bisco had many chances to kill Kurokawa (especially in the last episode), but I still felt bad about his body turning into rust and just falling off :( I also shed a few tears because of the familial relationship between Bisco and Milo.

That being said, I thought it was suspicious that they showed the rust generator mech thing in the background when Bisco was shot with the arrow and fell backwards into the lava. And then that preview

When I thought that Milo was dead and the poster boy sacrifices himself ... Damn.

that was the worst performance of Bisco this time, the final fight was totally broken with his fingers rusting away and a shot in the eye *ouch*.
Milo's sister never had a problem with broken bodyparts.

"won't you say something cool like I'll be back" XD

I don't think it was necessary that Bisco stayed in the rust soup until the end,
it's really unfortunate to see him erased from the cast now.

I had high hopes for this anime but it was not so good after the first few episodes anymore.
