| OMG! a HIGH-LEVEL episode! i'm getting shivers everywhere! the whole episode was just on a different level! eagerly waiting for the continuation of this Ousama Ranking franchise! 5/5! |
 |
| Some nice spin-off stories, especially the one on Ouken's backstory and his return were great. I hope we get s2 soon as the whole the king's ranking thing is still quite the mystery. |
 |
| These side quests were a little pleasure to watch. Waiting for the return of the main series. |
| Best episode of the season. Really unfitting it was teasing us with season 2. I hope we hear about it soon. |
| This episode was the manga continuation after season 1, this has to be Season 2 's premiere |
Bandanaa said: yes, wit studio wouldn t add this much lore only for an episode. How many chapters are out?KANLen09 said: None of this episode is anime-original, actually. It starts at chapter 156 of the manga, picking up where season 1 of the anime left off, and adapts the next 10 or so chapters very faithfully. This is essentially the first episode of season 2. The anime-original story of Ouken's comeback after his immortality episode from the main series. Ouken seemingly raised from the dead, brothers of King Desha and Prince Despa going to a treasury t break his immortality. And it sure took a lot of work to get Ouken back to his human self, back to being the Captain of the Underworld. But Bojji and Kage are having fun going on their own adventure. Well, this is a fun lil' side adventure of Ousama Ranking, that still carries the allure of the main series. |

| This was nothing compared to the first season. Most of the time it was boring but I'm glad it had a bit of sequel in the end. So the one Bojji and Kage saw there was actually the real thing. I think Ouken is much more stronger now after returning to his original form. He could be stronger enough to beat King Bosse. I wonder if Ouken is going to be the next 1st ranking King. Can't wait for the new movie. Looking at how this ended I'm guessing the new movie would be full sequel. |
| It's just a collection of side stories, with this last episode being kinda lore-heavy, which, overall, I ended up enjoying more than the main series. Kinda interested in the lore now. |
 |
| really enjoyed the episode but...was Desh's second wish to be fine as hell or that's a side effect? |
 |
| Wasn't expecting one of the biggest cliffhangers from season one, the fate of Ouken, to be resolved in this last episode of a batch that was primarily supplementary material, but here we are. And it just raises further questions with Desha's fate and the Ranking of Kings system itself. With Bojji and Kage none the wiser. This is just a guess, but I suspect whatever's going on it's gonna be Bojji who succeeds in ending this cursed system...somehow. Very good episode from an overall mixed bag of a series. As I said it was mostly supplemental and largely felt like an anthology collection. So stories involving characters I liked, mainly the three brothers Desha, Despa and Ouken, as well as Bojji and Kage, I liked. Others not as much. Some were animated in different art styles which was a nice change of pace. Reminded me of Folktales From Japan a bit in that regard. 7/10, but man I hope we get more with that cliffhanger someday. |

| It's been a really cool last couple of episodes seeing the continuation of the first season's finale, and I'm looking forward to seeing what next they've in store for us in the movie format. Looks like the concept of equivalent exchange has come to haunt the trio. At least this feels less hopeless, amnesia in the face of immortality after all. They'll have to find a way besides other Ranking though, otherwise, the cycle will continue, I feel. I was expecting Bojji to take a lot more time to find and regroup with Kage, to be honest, lol. How sweet of Bojji to leave behind some kind of memento to his beloved ones back home. Awesome to hear the Vaundy Op play in the last episode as well. |

| Desha is a real one.. Ouken came back but at what cost huh.. Bojji is so pure he always trust everyone without a doubt, good thing that Kage is with him ^^. This was fun, but we need a s2! |
| this is the only episode that felt like a sequel to the first season people will need to watch it to understand what's coming next |
| Pretty much a cute slice-of-life'ish complementary material to the main anime. Some of the side stories are entertaining, some were alright and the this last episode dropped some huge important stuff that really makes you anticipate the sequel movie. Looking forward to it. 6/10 |

Amazing ending and I liked how it led back to being cannon.
Is this disabled person someone we know or a new character?

| Well at least they ended the season on a high note with an actually interesting segment of the story. Though I feel like this would've worked better as episode 1 of season 2. Overall a pretty unnecessary season, last episode aside. Very basic short stories that brought nothing new to the table. I guess the episodes revolving around Ouken were the most interesting at least. 5/10 |
| I really don't understand the low rating of this side season of Ranking of Kings. Even in the caption you can read that these are side stories that add a bit more context to season 1 and are not a season in themselves. That's why it's not quite clear to me why many people are complaining that there isn't much new content per se. Personally, I thought all the side stories were very well done. Some contributed more to the story, some less, but I still liked them all very much. A few even added more context from season 1 and I was actually able to get to know the characters better and understand their motivations. There were also so many heartwarming scenes with Boji and all the other characters. It was so sweet to see him again and I hope there will be a second season or a movie at some point where the story continues. I would give this season a 9/10 because it also really touched me a lot, just like the main story. |
| The best episode to closed the season!!! Interesting how the 3 brothers tried to sacrifice for the otherS!!! Well, Bojji is in the starts of a new adventure!!! 6/10 to the season New season? I hope kekeke |
| Once you reject the cursed treasures and spare the child you become the one true king.... Seems that the purpose of the ranking of Kings is to eliminate the greedy. Once you pass the test, they may give the choice of granting your wish but deleting your memories, or keep your memories but become part of the council... Cool AF |
| This was pretty much the first episode for S2... |
| Loved it. Another 10/10 episode. This was an amazing season. Will definitely come back to watch this episode again. I hope we get a new season soon. |
