| What a sad end for Sakuragi, and I don't say it because it was moving. I mean, it was, but more than that it was depressing, and frustrating. Sakuragi was biding his time to avenge Hagino, he was wronged, humiliated, and almost killed. He had the proof he needed to make those two pay, but he let go of it, hoping that they would just disappear from their lives, but he was so wrong, Ishihara, that piece of scum, pretty much killed him, and Sasaki was there, overjoyed as those clueless soldiers finished their job, it was so insufferable to see him so happy for getting rid of the one who was going to expose him. Then there was the time skip, it came sooner than what I expected, but everyone is doing well, and, thankfully I guess, they aren't able to move on, they want to make Sasaki, and Ishihara pay like Sakuragi once wanted before giving in. Ishihara is pretty much a living corpse now, and even though this is a punishment worse than death or prison, it's still really insufferable, and frustrating because he was the one who brought it upon himself, now after all that he did, is he supposed to be left alone like that, without people ever knowing it? What about Kumagai's family? He had one I suppose, what about Hagino's mother? What about Hagino? What about Sakuragi? Sakuragi should've ended it on the night he died, there's no point in pursuing Ishihara now, and he will never 'truly' pay for what he did, I don't really want to see Mario dirtying his hands like this now, it feels so purposeless. But now, that demon Sasaki is higher than ever, he is entering politics, and there is still merit in making him fall. I just hope Uncovered will be smart enough to destroy him completely by somehow exposing him, like he seems to be aiming for, after making Sasaki aware of their presence, and not by committing a crime that would make them all go to prison again. I don't know what to expect now, I just hope they won't become a Sakuragi 2.0, Ishihara is done, but I'm sure that even now Sasaki is still scarring, and abusing people, and if he isn't, he shouldn't be allowed to play the role of a decent human being like this. |

| Fucking knew it, man... fucking knew Anchan wouldn't make it through this ordeal. Fuck, man. It was pretty unnerving how the group was doing the Japanese friendship meme over killing Joker and the hentai doc together. At the same time, man, do I wanna see Joker get shanked. It also JUST NOW occurred to me he's been shooting up with heroin, not some "I'mma fuck up Anchan" steroid. We're not even half way through the series... feels like the next episode should be the end of a one cour anime. I've no idea what's going to happen after this. |

| Dude FUCK THIS ANIME. Its not that I am disliking it so far, but Sakuragi's death was fucking painful. Even if he was extremely confident and didn't drop that knife, all those things fit into his personality, because if he killed Ishihara, he would be exactly the same as him and that doctor fucker when they forced Hagino to commit suicide. He looked confused by the blood loss so he may not hear the advices that the police and those soldiers told him. I'm loving this so far. |
| This was bound to happen, but the events which lead up to Sakuragis death were way too contrived for me to fully enjoy them. Not saying that I didn't feel anything or that I dislike the series as a whole due to that, it's still quite the opposite in fact. And it's precisely why I'm not satisfied, a series that has been so good the entire time, I expected this to be an incredibly powerful moment and yet it didn't deliver when it mattered the most. R.I.P. Sakuragi you died as a fool. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Sakuragi is honestly so stupid. If he was gunna act like that he fucking deserved to get killed. Also god damn americans and their trigger happy selves. Why the fuck would they listen to some random telling them to kill Sakuragi? This was one of the dumbest deaths I've ever seen. Completely unnecessary and absolutely ridiculous. Sakuragi is a fucking moron. Top tier moron, absolute fucking moron. You wouldn't have needed to leave your fucking friends behind had you just.... NOT BEEN STUPID. Mario better finish Ishihara off next episode though, I swear to god he let him live Imma be soooo pissed. |

| Sakuragi's death was just dumb and pathetic. There was much better and more believable ways to kill him off. The writing became retarded these past few episodes. |

| Why did Sakuragi just let himself die like that? He knew the soldiers would kill him if he didn't obey and that there was no chance he could see Mario's fight if he tried so why did he do it was he just that prideful? Maybe it'll be answered in the next ep cause I see ppl in the discussion saying this is where shit starts to hit the fan. |

| lmao so many complaining on why the characters didnt do this and that, calling the show stupid but they are the same ppl who somehow dont even notice the extent of stupidity in shows like anohana. Well so far it was really good but now I cant imagine what is gonna happen on the next 12 or so eps. I hope it stays good. Also those asking why sakuragi didnt throw away the knife, ever thought about the kind of situation he was in? |

❝Kabo-chan is ran by the MAL staff team and does not respond to individual comments made on her profile.❞ I was immensely devastated. |
| I would like this anime a lot more if the characters weren't so damn stupid. Seriously Sakuragi, you're going to bet the safety of everyone in your life on the off chance that a psychotic, drug addicted, obsessive and mentally ill murderer is going to change for good and move on with his life? Are you also going to break your promise to Hagino and let Sasaki get away with all the fucked up shit he's done? This anime started off really good but this episode felt like a generic shounen, where the overly compassionate characters let a villain off the hook, only to get bitten in the ass later on. Sakuragi's death also felt lazy. |

| "Sakuragi wouldn't want you to kill him." - I figured as much, keep Mario moral just and give Ishihara "a faith worse than death" by keeping him alive. I'm certain he won't kill him. |
| Not sure what's worse, his death or the people in this forum who are too dumb to understand why he couldn't drop the knife. |
| - Justin T. Poindexter |
| Oh my god! I was not expecting Sakuragi to die. This is just so sad... and he was about to get married to that cutie Setsuko. Aww cmon... |
 |
| So I was about to drop it - thought I'd just watch this so see if Sakuragi really dies. But the time skip saved it for me. Characters are acting as stupid as ever, but I'm excited to see how their revenge will go. It's hopefully a little more satisfying than the first half. |
| I´m really liking this anime so far and Sakuragi was such a great but COME ON!!! His death was pretty much the most stupid and unnecessary thing I have seen in an anime for a really long time. JESUS! It seriously pissed me off that such a great character ends up with an extremely pathetic death. |
| The idiot survived being beaten by baton, getting lynched, starving, hypothermia, getting attacked with a gun, and getting stabbed in stomach. But he could not survive stupidity. At least think of all the people who try to make you survive, and who will feel like shit after you die. What an idiot. Thinking about it, he was the cause of everything that happened to him. If he just stayed low until he got out, or if he just handed that death will to police, everything would be resolved peacefully and lawfully. Fucking idiot. |

| Damn... Sakuragi died. Setsuko with long hair? damn she looks so damn cute |
 |
| bro wtf how can he die like this halfway? What a waste of a character. This was pretty addicting until they came out of jail/time skip now it feels like a different anime.. |

| Guess they'll come up with a master plan to avenge An-chan's death |
 |
| What the hell! I have to say, I've never watched an anime that made me so pissed over characters. Rainbow definitely deserves a recognition for that. Sasaki is a huge scum. I just want this fricking bastard whose value is worse than trash to die a horrible death. I kind of expected Anchan's early death but not in this way. He was a tough man considering the immense suffering he has been through but his ignorant decision to spare fricking Ishihara's life ended him. What a tragic way to execute a great character. I honestly felt mad about his death. I hope Mario and the rest of the gang can bring justice to Anchan's death. |
| It's weird watching it when the MC is dead halfway through |
| These two last episodes were shit. Sakuragi's IQ literally dropped to single digits. His death was so easily avoidable. |
| Wow, what a dumb death. The villains win again and the rapist is trying to become a politician…very realistic. Now I’m thinking they will all end up dead. Anchan was basically the main character / focus and now we’re left with the backups. I hope they’re interesting enough because I’m tired of Mario. Maybe Jou will get more screen time? |

| @WMR I explained it in another topic here. You need to continue to the anime if you liked it so far. In terms of serious friendship this is the best one imo. |

| @defaulticus I won’t be quitting :D But Anchan was my favourite character. I’m (mostly) loving this anime so far. I’m also reading the manga so that I can finish the story after the anime. . . . Ps. We’re about the same age! I’m 1987 lol I don’t see that much on the site. |

| @WMR :) yeah it is rare to see people who are around 30s or 40s in this website. Anime didn't cover whole manga btw. You need to continue to the manga. I am not a manga fan but i will try to read it to the end too |
| so dude is dead sakuragi wtf man they just killed him for nothing, he let go of confession, failed to kill guard with gun, he pulled knife for no reason, didnt surrender to police for his safety.. Revenge plot its just meaningless now. EDIT: Dropped |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
