| This was a great episode but it reminded me of an episode in cowboy bebop when there's a young man and his blind sister I don't remember it very well but it ended the same way |
 |
| So I guess we are to assume the Sunflower Samurai killed Fuu's Mom? Or at least played a part in it |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| That was one way to end an episode with sad note, I mean why they decided to kill him? Poor mom :( |

| Awww, she couldn't say she found him after she found out the reason he was doing it, bless. It was so sad he died in the end, who's going to look after his mother now? ;________________; |

gigolettes said: do ppl rly think pickpockets deserve to die lol?? it's a crime sure but a petty one. i understand the drastic measures taken here since it's set in the olden days but some of you guys rly sound like if someone who stole a few bucks was killed under the pretense of justice in today's time you wouldn't bat an eye. finally someone pointing this out - I don't understand how people can be happy with a death of a petty thief, killed by police, this is ridiculous, maybe nowadays we should be also shot for crossing on red lights or not segregating trash? |
MostCuriousThing said: This episode is such a carbon coby of Waltz for Venus, and I personally think that Cowboy Bebop did it better. Ah... That's why I was thinking that I have seen it somewhere before.. |
 |
| I get that this was supposed to be sad but meh, no feelings for me. |
 |
| The price to pay for taking the wrong road some people pay the price and others will not that's the harsh reality. |
| I really love how when Fuu meets people who seems to be bad but isn't ends up dying. |
| "The people who say money doesn't matter are the ones who have more than they need." Mm... Ain't that the truth. I think the mom's reaction to Fuu stopping by after her son died was more sad than his actual death :'( |

| 15 year old kid deserves to die for stealing some money? Hard labor to pay back his debts maybe but not death. I just can't understand some people... Anyway I can't say I felt sad since there was no proper character development and I already knew that there will be meaningless deaths in this anime based on the earlier episodes. Let's see if Mugen dies towards the end then since he kills people all the time for selfish reasons too like the other bad people in this show. |
| Meh, I didn't really care for the kid. |

MostCuriousThing said: I came on this forum to say the exact same thing too bad you beat me by about 7 years.This episode is such a carbon coby of Waltz for Venus, and I personally think that Cowboy Bebop did it better. |
| He couldn't get away :( Poor mother, what will she do now??? |
 |
| Overall, the best one up until this point. |
| So close to a similar episode in Bebop, down to the resolution. manovikaswhiz said: Pretty much this. I think that Fuu didn't do enough to dissuade him from changing his ways, even if he didn't meet his way on this day, the chance is this fate would befall him later down his life.That's exactly the kind of message you should be sending .. If you choose a life of crime even if it's for a good reason don't expect things to always work your way cause the risks are immensely high that you'll lose your life |

| had me in my feelings at the end. |
 |
| Goddamn what an episode. Definitely the best one so far. I'm starting to see now why this show has a high score. This episode was very realistic and didn't give false hope. The mother knew her son was being stupid and according to her "he paid the price" man, that shit was beautiful. That kid practically dug his own grave when he gave himself a promotion by moving on from picking pockets to dealing drugs to taking hostages. Desperation is a wild motivator. |
 |
| Such a sad episode... That kid didn’t deserve to die! |
| idk man, it's become a cliche of the story, either the girl almost gets sold as a sex slave or someone they met dies by the end of the epi. it kinda gets boring having figured this out |
 |
| well that was peak but shouldn't have been getting into illegal activities... but yeah he didn't deserve to die... but where is all the hype and badassness from the first ep, i'm honestly kinda disappointed |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| Aw man wasn't expecting Shinsuke to die:( That was a great episode |
 |
| At first I was super sad that they weren't able to eat their ramen bowls. Then I left the episode feeling actually sad. Definitely wasn't expecting that. Thought this was going to have a strictly playful tone throughout (well, despite all the slaughtering lol). But no, the guy doesn't run off into the sunset, departing with the hope of seeing the girl again one day. He doesn't even get very far before, well, getting killed. Our main characters are of course one man armies with plot armour, but death is still a very real thing even in this world. Now I don't mind our girl being the fun character that she is, I like it. But I think I'm going to like her even more now; seems like she is going to grow as a character, especially after the events of this episode. I hope that like cowboy bebop, we are going to get more hard-hitting moments like this. |

| Much better than the last two episodes. |
| what the fuck dude im cryinggg |
| That really got to me on a rewatch, what an amazing episode. The directing and screenplay is off the charts. |

| I can't process these emotions. That was heart-breaking. The stress that poor kid must have been under, no one should be faced with that :( |
