| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm this episode was more talky than I had thought with the match analysis. Good amount of action this episode in the snowy field. Osamu struggles as I had expected while Yuuma also faces his own challenge. I thought the second half of the episode was thrilling with both teams clashing again one another with their core members. Poor Osamu, it's like he's always on step behind. |

| The girl who does the guest commentary says it's not the leader who chose the snow, but the member who likes fun. First attack by the gunner who likes random shooting. lol @ the members' treatment to him. So Nakamura-san's character has his trigger. The enemy neighbor guy thinks that KajiKaji's character's team is too weak (the reason they got targetted) comparing to other two teams and will lose. When a gunner was targetting KajiKaji's character, another team and another team member of top 1 of B rank came. Thinking no one's aiming for KajiKaji's character, he got shot by the gunner (leader of the team?) through the wall. Chibi explanation with KajiKaji's character and shooter girl on the team of top 1 of B rank. Start of Neighbor guy vs. Sugita-san's character next. |

| Holy crap Osamu got REKT. Azuma is a beast, Chika and Yuma are really in a predicament now with their brains out of the match. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| I usually complain about over powered MCs but for god sake Mikumo really needs a decent power up I´m getting tired of seeing him losing all the time... |
| Unlike many other people, I like the rate of Osamu's development. He was pretty much at C rank level even after being promoted to B rank, though I think he does deserve B rank now, but I don't think he can really go head-to-head with the higher level B-Ranks. Although he definitely improved after the training, I'm glad he didn't become too Strong like many other series seem to like to do after a little bit of training. I definitely felt bad for him though and I'm sure he will have his time to shine eventually. Looking forward to next episode. |
 |
| Ughhh, I feel so bad for Osamu. I don't think Tamakoma-2 will win this Rank Battle. |
 |
| Well the 2nd half of the episode alone has made up for the last 12 episodes that's for sure, pretty epic lead-up for sure I wanna know how Osamu will react to getting shot straight up and how all his friends and trainers will treat him now, this has gotta be killing him I don't see Chika shooting anyone, she'll shoot AT someone but won't hit anyone Azuma has just possibly made the biggest mistake he'll ever make, I see him and his squad getting destroyed now, also see Ninomiya getting what's coming to him, he's far to arrogant and uptight about himself I can see Kageura and Yuma teaming up after fighting each other, Kageura taking an interest in Yuma plus Ema sees Chika as another Hatohara means everyone else will be targeted now, fun times ahead for the best B rank war to date (And it's only really been half an episode of it) |
| I felt bad for Osamu as well. This is a tough match for his team and they are being targeted by the top B-rank squads. I found it interesting that Azuma would target Osamu first. But then again, he did commentary on the First match that Osamu took part in. And was impressed by T2's plan. The difficulty of the shot, alone, says a lot. It could even be considered a sign of respect that he took out Osamu first, with such a high difficulty shot. This is the 3rd match that we have seen the lowest rank team trying to use the terrain and weather to influence the battle. T2's second battle used the terrain to focus the battle on one team and helped them win. In their 3rd battle, Nasu Squad tried to use both weather and terrain to gain the advantage over S1, limiting #4 Attacker Ko. With T2 destroying the bridge first and then the levees, flooding the battlefield. Now Azuma Squad is using the weather, Snow this time, to influence the battle. |
| Summoning Dark: "What kind of human creates his own policeman?" Watcman: "One who fears the dark." "And so he should," said the enity, with satisfaction. "Indeed. But I think you misunderstand. I am not here to keep the darkness out. I'm here to keep it in." There was a clink of metal as the shadowy watchman lifted a dark lantern and opened it's little door. Orange light cut through the blackness. "Call me . . . the Guarding Dark. Imagine how strong I must be." |
| I have a feeling before that Tamakoma-2 will lose this match. A 4 way match with tough teams is a pretty high hurdle for them. BUt so suprised that Osamu got rekt this early! Damn it. Well, Jin will probably lose this bet. AHHH damn. Can't wait for next week!!! Can anyone please post here what chapter of the manga is this? Can't wait anymore. hhhehe |

| did'nt expected osamu to be out of the spotlight so soon...anyway the creators kept his ability in mind and did'nt made him do something which many others do..that is sudden adrenaline surge and taking over everything nearby.. atleast this show is not following the common norms.. |

At least he he's a good tactician. |
| This looks like it will be an interesting battle. I was surprised that Osamu was taken out so quickly. It keeps feeling like he's not really contributing to these rank battles. |
 Episode 68: The Targeted TamakomaNew Characters: Aki Hiyami (17) B-Rank No.1, Ninomiya Squad, Operator Hikari Nire (17) B-Rank No.2, Kageura Squad, Operator Amazing episode! Unfortunate ending though. Whoever voicing Inukai did a great job. Spot on! They reused Mira's va on Nire. Hiyami's(iirc) first and final appearance... Toei should make an episode focusing on all operators. They need more screen time. Lol at Hyuse using chopstick. Next episode: Emotions will flow |

Expect that his strategies have worked out in the last 2 rank battles. Fair, he is not Ichigo,Naruto or Goku but he is a big part of the succes. Kuga is amazing but he wont be able to take them all on and Chika needs guidance. He may not be in the spotlights but the show has given us enough to see he is a valued member of the team. Anyway, he will get their eventually, he just started getting private lessons. No way he could use them against elite members. Like Hyuse said. If Osamu didnt lose BORDER just plain sucks diminishing everyone sans S-class their worth. |

| Ay Ninomiya squad is so cool compared to others *-* |
| Ninomiya team fight with the smoking is somewhat strange. When Mikumo was "saved" by Azuma Team, I thought too had to shoot them from behind. I hope in the next episode, Chika is more focused. (sorry for my bad english) episode: 5/5 |
 |
| Damn, Osamu got blown to pieces lol I honestly expected him to do more after the training but I guess he still needs more. Man these 3 squads against Tamakoma are awesome. Gotta love Ninomiya and their suits XD I hope this will give Chika her development and let her shoot humans already. She'd Annihilate them if she went all out. And besides, Jin seems to be quite confident they'll win so... PS...Lol'd at Hyuuse eating the noodle XD |
 |
| well, mikumo got sniped not because his skill/power weak, but because he don't know information about azuma team's pattern attack. when inukai and his friend met that duo attacker, they already wary about azuma's sniping. beside that, I'm surprised how the fight between kageura and yuuma are fluid. and my side fav, kitazoe :D. kageura team seem interesting. they has kageura who berserk, kitazoe who sloppish, and ema who calm and like chika.

PS...Lol'd at Hyuuse eating the noodle XD lol. yotaro, stop give information to enemy.  he's so cool T_T this scene is funny :D |

x_silversurfer said: They've set up our MC to be someone who's really smart and thinks about everything. I keep waiting for the moment when he realizes he has 3 people in his team.. Either he has no faith in his sniper or he's just an idiot and not as smart as the show props him up to be. Tactics 101: use all your team members strengths and work together efficiently. This was either bad writing or highlighting his complete failure as a leader. I'd like to think the writing is pretty good, despite obvious pacing issues, so maybe we'll see a heavy slice of humble pie being delivered in the near future. I think your forgetting 2 points here 1. They never did rendezvous, hence why their plan was screwed 2. Chika can't shoot people, she can't be used for combat only for distractions |
p-kun said: And next up Basically, this episode is a giant middle finger to shounen trope of instant power up. Just like how Tachikawa gave a middle finger to another trope of determination beats everything. Osamu is correct that he's in shounen manga, but unfortunately for him, this is not the shounen manga where his only asset, that is a lot of determination, means much and this is definitely not the shounen manga where merely training for 5 days will let him defeat top-B rankers on his own, as he had hoped. will be taking shots at shounen tropes right? :D |
 |
| ok that was intense and it suddenly got more when Osamu suddenly got bailed out |
 |
| Chika could easily score four points here (if she was capable of shooting people). |
 |
| Wow it must suck to be eliminated first lol, especially like that :( |
| Sniped without doing a thing, Osamu should be on suicide watch after that cause that was sick. Now he'll get a reality check. Azuma is one of border's best mentoring the kids, they'll need to find another sniper when Azuma leaves to mentor another team which will greatly reduce their worth. |
 |
| Ninomiya Squad is in suits?? They look so cool! <3 Wow, Osamu losing right off the bat was a big surprise. Didn't expect Azuma to snipe him thru the building! It is a bit frustrating that he isn't developing as quickly as we want him to, but at the same time I think we will see a growth spurt from him soon once he realizes his role/abilities in the team. Getting completely rekt and recovering from it to be even better fits Osamu's style. Learn from failure - the bigger the failure, the more growth Osamu gets. |
| god damn it osamu i was rooting for you so much. real talk though i do love how they made the protagonist as weak as osamu is because it really makes you genuinly root for the guy to improve based off skills rather than some bs power up, i do wish he could of lasted longer in this fight than he did though |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| These dudes wearing suits and fighting in snow. Nice. *sees Osamu get shot* Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Time for the MC to save the day. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| this is what you are supposed to do as a sniper Chika but no i cant hurt people... iff you cant hurt people stop being an agent you useless piece of shit |
 |
| Wow Ninomiya's uniforms are suits! These people have style! XD Well that was predictably boring and just so-so for Osamu. Chika can't shoot people, I mean come on, even in mock battles in Trion body? What is she gonna do hide forever, shoot their opponents weapons like Ninomiya's former sniper? Her outlook and expectations are unrealistic even in their own universe. And Kuga is being held up again. *sigh* Still an interesting battle though, let's see if they survive it. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Damn, the Brains of Tamakoma-2 is out already! Certainly wasn't expecting that. I suppose this goes to show the level in difference between him and the rest of the combatants. Ninomiya's uniforms look freakin' cool though, I must say. Curious to see how it'll play out from here. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Well the fight is pretty tense we can clearly see the difference of skill especially on how Osamu got shot by Azuma, it was impressive xD |
 |
| Osamu getting fucked this early caught me off guard. |
