THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Not gonna lie, I have to agree with Joe that Yoko seems fake. Went too far by choking her though >,> Also is it me or are these guards extremely lax? o.O

Yeah lol, the guards are so god damn incompetent :D

Also I'm not sure if I should be surprised that there's only one comment on most of these discussion threads. This series is great, albeit old. I thought more people would have seen this D:

It only became readily available in English within the past few months, so a lot of people who are interested simply haven't gotten to it yet.

That said, this was the best episode yet. This series is simply incredible.

Vengeance of everyone's grudge.

Joe went a bit overboard with all those comments about Yoko but he may be right in the end.
As for his behaviour, I'd be happy if Rikiishi beats him up again in the upcoming episodes.

Joe went a little bit too far on this episode by choking that bitch xD. Danpei is a pretty good fighter as well, I wonder how will Joe matchup against Rikiishi though ? It will certainly be a death match battle between both of them.

Joe sucks.
He dared to do that to Yoko.
I hope he gets a good beating from Rikiishi.

Joe is such an asshole, he can't stay 5 minutes without being disrespectful or causing trouble.

So far this show is almost unbearable, I hope the boxing starts soon.

I love Joe's personality, because then I can just see people all over the internet bitch about him. I don't see anything wrong with him, though, because I actually like characters like this. Characters who are arrogant and often rude/mean to others, are the types I usually like.

Joe is a bastard but that's what makes him interesting, he's realistic.

Joe has a point regarding Yokos good natured girl attitude, but I think he went too far when he choked her there.

Looking forward to the upcoming match against Rikiishi.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

"Let's resume the interpretation!" But Danpei left lol

I'm interested in Yoko's character since it's still pretty unclear if she's honestly kind or just faking it.

Man, I hope that tomorrow is glorious, because Danpei really looks forward for it.

Joe sure is powerful mentally, even though he's an asshole, I can relate with his personality quite a lot. An official match in the prison, that sounds very good. I still think Joe will lose, but we'll see...

Selfish pricks or just selfish? You could say that for the human race as a whole acts in their own self interest, how does that make them selfish pricks? What did Joe do to deserve PURE kindness without self-interest? Isn't it a little selfish of him to want someone else to sacrifice something out of pure kindness?

ASHITA NO... JOE, these words have finally been said. I can't wait to see the first real Joe-Rikiishi confrontation.

On the other hand, Joe is really unbearable sometimes. The guards couldn't hold him back from strangling the best girl, Yoko.

Way to take it literal. Joe is calling her disingenuous and referencing to her look of contempt as insight into what he believes is her true nature, and that's his reasoning for Yoko being unfit for the Esmeralda role. Of course he conveniently ignored the part where he conned her, provoked and insulted her countless times during the lead up to that moment so that it would fit his narrative. He's just projecting his cynicism onto her

Joe's right about Yoko's personality but choking her is going a bit too far.

Danpei is much stronger than he looks, or Joe just has the worst durability and endurance.

Joe is a real asshole but I kind of side with him Shiraki is super condescending.

She's also the reason Rikishi got distracted and Joe was in motion it's not like he can stop. It's her fault and then she accuses Joe of being cowardly. She's just leveraging her public persona against him.
