| I get off work early and rush home to see what my wife ranko get up to this week and … this.. bullshit happens.. I’m so fucking angry man. Renai flops yesterday and then this bs today. Why must I go through this suffering? Ranko grew so much over the course of this show, like seeing her actually crying and talk about how much and why she loves Nagomi and the cafe.. and then you get rid of best girl??? Idc if anyone lives or dies in this show anymore. Just wipe everyone out next week man. If this wasn’t the CEO who ordered her killing.. I wonder if this will make her wake up and actually be a normal human being again. |
 |
| that ending come in a worst possible way to me... so unexpected initially I do not care whether somebody in pig house gonna die sooner or later since everybody is just dying for nonstop the whole time and generally that is what this anime about. But it come so f*king sudden right after a conflict when i thought we'd get a breeze afterwards but the twist is happening :( I wanted Ranko to get her happiness |
| Yep, I didn't think Ranko would survive to the end, but for her to meet her demise in the penultimate episode... just seems too late. How will they resolve this in just one episode? We could either have a bloodbath and Nagomi goes crazy (which I seriously doubt from what we've seen so far), or Ranko will serve as a sacrifice for peace among the maids. If they do decide on the bloodbath route, I really wished it happened sooner, because there's just not enough time now. Perhaps you all will call this a cheap plot twist, but this was probably the most meaningful moment so far in the show, so it's such a shame it didn't happen earlier, as much as I liked Ranko as a character. However, if she's not dead, then that's the biggest L this show will ever take, and that will ruin it all. |
| I was so hyped at the end of last week, but this episode felt rushed and disappointing. And they threw in Ranko dying right at the end. I guess I'll have to watch the last episode before passing judgement but this was not a good start for the finale. |
Okachimachi's suit was tied to the katakana オ of the sign for the Akihabara Rajio Kaikan (Akihabara Radio Hall), a very famous landmark in Akihabara. If the building looks familiar, it is because it was featured in Steins;Gate. |
Piromysl said: That ending was totally unexpected, tho not entirely, because we all know, that this show really likes to kill people completely out of nowhere. Stab into kidney is always fatal. Unless we'll get some serious Deus Ex Machina and plot armor, Ranko is gone. I'm pretty sure it was the same maid from the first episode. Makes sense, since Ranko literally wiped out her entire caffé.    Instantly when i saw the pink haired kill Ranko, I thought of that one girl from episode 1. She is one of the few maids to have a unique hair color. Even the haircut is the same. And as far as I remember she wasn't shown dead in the first episode. It would also totally make sense for her to kill Ranko (it is very likely that she was also ordered to do so by someone else), since Ranko massacred her entire cafe. I am pretty sure she will appear in the next episode. I am pretty curious if Nagomi will forgive her, just like Ranko forgave the panda girl. |
| Hoping that the show goes to a X years later or present day in the last episode |
| I was already expecting one final harsh scene to counterbalance the pigs getting back safe and sound to the cafe but I wasn't ready for Ranko's death; that scene was so unbelievably visceral and discomforting. Someone must pay for this! I'd say there a 50/50 that she will go bananas after this experience. |
| I did not see that coming, if anything I thought Nagi may die because she messed with Ranko. I do wonder if Nagi had this girl do the deed or if it was a rogue maid (I'm leaning towards the latter right now). Regardless, I wonder if this is Nagomi's breaking point. I feel a little depressed as Ranko was one of my favorite characters (she's even on my favorites list) and I'm stunned she got killed off in broad daylight without the opportunity to defend herself. I'll still watch the finale of course but I don't think anything near a satisfactory ending is possible (unless for some miraculous reason Ranko survives). |

I had forgotten about the pink hair maid and the hair color matches with the murderer so your theory holds a lot of water. You called it in Shinobi no Ittoki with a murder there (won't say who here). It made me think that maybe Nagi did not order the kill but we'll see in the finale. |

| I think this episode is amazing like the show. the last episode I think is gonna be about nagomi becoming ranko-like in future — jojo diamond plot twist. |
| Bro, they killed my favorite maid, whyyyyy!!!!!! I feel I no lo longer have a reason to end Akiba Maid War, but I have to know how this is gonna end. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| was defintiely expecting them to kill her in the LAST episode.. NOT the 2nd to last lol |
   |
| Damn, I didn't think they'd actually kill a main character. Points |
| If this not one of manager's silly imagination or dream then Nagomi probably will stick to her original plan and panda will be the one doing the "deed"... |
| . |
| What in the world .... surely that CANNOT have happened! NO! NO! NO! I guess I am in DENIAL, which is, coincidentally the first stage of grief. |
 |
| Damn I really thought this show would have a happy ending until that last scene...I'm a little disappointed that Ranko didn't make it to the final episode. Really curious to see how they will pull off the finale and I hope they do |

| bro why are all the best girls dying??????????????????????? i've watched 2 animes today and best girls died in both of them tf i'm positive that those dazzilions maids were behind that and nagi had nothing to do with it. if this doesn't change nagomi into a killing machine then i don't know what will. all this "forgive" and "end the revenge cycle" is boring show me nagomi killing every one of them. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I actually think killing Ranko was a good move, it's a better motivator for Nagomi to change compared to his "sister" that we don't even remember anymore. What I think this show has a problem is with the other characters, specially the other tontokoton maids. Why would you made them not go with Ranko and literally 30 seconds later have them cover her back, again? What was the point of that? A funny scene? It wasn't funny so I don't get it. There are a lot of moments like this. What was the point of the baseball game? Did the maids change? What was the point of letting tontokoton take the price if you are going to harrass them the next chapter? Idk seems kinda random, or better yet rushed. Understandable since there are only 12 episodes but still. |

| Wow, wow, WOOOOWW |
| Oh shit Ranko is dead.... FUCCCKKK |
| If the theory about the stabber girl being that surviving mob maid from the first episode is correct, then why would a former Wuv-Wuv Moonbeam maid wear the axolotl costume when she attacked Ranko? Was it a hit job meant to shift blame on the axolotls doubling as a revenge murder? But now that i think about it there's no point in pondering too much about it, 'cause I wouldn't be surprised if the series seriously concluded with something like the Akiba big-bang destroying the whole town and possibly the whole world, just like in Takashi Miike's Dead or Alive... |

Because Moonbeam cafee was defunct with only her surviving and she most likely found employment somewhere else. And she most likely did it to avenge her fallen comrades. |

That is true, but the destruction of the Wuv-Wuv Moonbeam cafe happened many months before Maidalien was forced to join Creatureland. Wouldn't that girl have joined another Creatureland cafe instead of the the newly formed axolotls? |

Most likely she was planning her attack and kept low profile, because Ranko literally had to wipe them all out to prevent exactly what happened to her from happening, or even worse, to someone else from Tontokoton. Not making sure everyone was dead was a blunder on her part and now she paid the price for it. |

| It never ends well in gangster shows, guys. Sorry. 😥 |
 My main candies:      Bonus Candies:  |
| Oh my God, Ranko NOOOOOOO! I am absolutely gutted, but that was a fantastic episode. I already got spoiled on social media that Ranko would die this episode, I was anxiously waiting for it, but they still got me speechless, they quite literally stabbed us and twisted the knife for good measure with Ranko's death and I am here for it. The question at this point is why, I honestly don't think Nagi would order Ranko's death after having convinced her. With this show being Yakuza except maids this was most likely just simply karma, since that maid that stabbed her appears to be from the first episode. Though these are just my thoughts. It honestly feels like this is supposed to parallel Michiyo's death, so Nagomi's probably gonna get another awakening. Man, I don't even know what to expect in the last episode, but whatever it's going to be, I am sure it's gonna be a banger. With all that happened, I almost forgot to mention how fucking hilarious Ranko getting hit by the elevator was. Rest in Peace Ranko T_T. |

| What a great show and what a depressing episode's ending... |
