Oh shit, another member of the Class 13?? I swear, this number is unlucky. I like seeing Medaka-chan in her red hair form again although it would of been even better if she jumped in there and kicked Kei Munakata's ass.

The fight between Zenkichi and that guy was cool I guess. Grenades and weaponry are always fun to play with. Good fight.

Zenkichi how you survive with them swords on your back much less be standing after Kei's defeat, obvious plot armor heck Kei himself had more of it since he should be dead from all those swords falling on him. That earthquake he did after he stood back up was cool. Lots of defying reason and the laws of the human body with Kei's infinite weapon works and Zenkichi surviving fatal stabs that would be deadly even by anime standards. The fight was good and ended surprisingly well and pretty bloody.

Yeah in reality he pretty much would be dead already with a sword falling, this is typical just that can happend in anime and got fatal stab in the back.

Hiding all those weapons is also kind of weird haha

and the channel please

Guts, known as the Black Swordsman, seeks sanctuary from the demonic forces attracted to him and his woman because of a demonic mark on their necks, and also vengeance against the man who branded him as an unholy sacrifice. Aided only by his titanic strength gained from a harsh childhood lived with mercenaries, a gigantic sword, and an iron prosthetic left hand, Guts must struggle against his bleak destiny, all the while fighting with a rage that might strip him of his humanity.

I didn't watch the episode yet but I guess they didn't made it clear enough.

His abnormality is being a master at killing.
Being a master at knowing how to kill people also means that you are a master at knowing how not to kill your target.

Munakata is doing all he can so that he does not kill his target. He does not want to kill anyone so he pretend to be a murderer and carry weapon to scare people off.

The reason why Zenkichi survived having three sword sheated into him is because Munakata avoided his vital organs. Of course Zenkichi was seriously wounded but he was wounded in a way that he would not die. (Of course taking into account he get treated fast and do not die from blood loss)
Of course that's nothing normal. That's why Munakata is an abnormal, he can do things normal people can't.

The reason why Munakata survived the sword rain is because, applying the same reason as why Zenkichi is still alive, he dodged the sword in a way it would only hurt him and not kill him.

I was questioning the survival part as well, but the anime actually does go into Munakata's abnormality. It didn't go into detail on whether or not he could apply this to himself, but something like that can be easily assumed possible.

Usually most characters in shounen manga "don't die even if you kill them".

Kamiya Hiroshi automatically improving a series even if he's voicing a supporting character.

What's this Zenkichi is still alive after being pierce by several blades at the back?

Kei is also alive after having most of his blades falling on him?

Man, if this has a realistic action genre either Zenkichi or Kei would have died and Medaka would have gone god mode and go berserk.

But, it's nice to know that Medaka actually loves him.

Currently I'm at work, Thus I kill you.
I have no time to waste on you, thus I kill you.
I won't try to stop you, thus I kill you.
I dislike conflict, thus I kill you.
The weather is lovely today. Thus, I kill you.
Lunch was delicious. Thus, I kill you.
I had a nice dream last night. Thus, I kill you.
A movie that I've been looking forward to comes out soon. Thus, I kill you.
My telephone's battery is nearly dead. Thus, I kill you.
I have no reason. Thus, I kill you.

I understand where you are coming from but Zenkichi is 100% normal.
He's not even a special.

^Summary of this whole awesome action packed episode.

"A Normal who can rival Abnormals. Meaning that he could be an abnormal wearing a Normal's skin."

Now that's something to think about. Zenkichi may be just too normal that he is abnormal. o_0
