I didn't think Yuri would suffer that much because he took his gear off, those things are dangerous.

I thought Yuri would do that, get rid of the gear to fight Joe fair and square.

I loved the montage with the rap towards the end. It was fucking perfect.

Fantastic buildup for the last episode, and with this for last episode I really do wonder what will go down next.

Yuri removing his gear was really surprising but now it's really one on one like normal boxing so that makes it even more impressive and based on skills rather than machine.

Really looking forwards to see what the last episode will offer!

So Yuuri left Yukiko for Joe. lol

No, seriously, great episode yet again. Yuuri and Yukiko shared a dream, but meeting Joe changed it because he's also the "real deal". Yuuri just wants to fight him with everything he got without any kind of advantage. He went through hell just like Rikiishi, but it was great to see Mikio so changed, he is managing and I'm glad.

I was also glad to see Aragaki coming to help Joe with his training, it's the better sparing partner he could ever find, and even though Nanbu can't see anymore, he's still doing a great job as a couch, but the next episode title "Born to Die" really leaves me worried, tomorrow might not come, but I'm really excited for the final match!

^ LOL. Yep, Yuuri left Yukiko for Joe. He chose his stud muffin boyfriend over that bitch.

Anyway, I honestly thought Mikio and Yuuri were going to kiss when they met at his cabin. Putting the yaoi jokes aside, Yuuri is obviously just being used by Shirato. Yukiko can enjoy her empire by herself. Mikio seems to have changed and he even helped out Yuuri by surgically removing his gear.

Nice to see a glimpse of how Nanbu met Joe. I'd like to see more of Joe's past life before meeting Nanbu like where he was born, who he grew up with and such.

Glad to see Aragaki make another appearance in this episode! I honestly thought it was him screaming in that dark room, turns out it was Yuuri.

Yukiko had so many opportunities to be the asshole who'll get between two people that had gone through so much to get where they are now on their own merit and I'm so proud that she had fought off the temptation to spit on their dreams every single time. She knew that if she does anything to sabotage the finale, absolutely everything she did for Megalonia would be for nothing.

I didn't realize that Yuri's Integrated Gear was literally integrated into his flesh turning him into a cyborg. No wonder he had screws in his skin. Having his Gear peeled off from his whole upper body, essentially flaying himself only to reject further anaesthesia as he writhed in hellish agony for nearly a week was ironically the most metal thing ever considering that all happened because he wanted out of metal.

It was nice to see Joe train with Ashigaki and to find out that Nanbu a great enough coach to give good advice to him even without having to rely on his eyes. Yukiko giving back his ID without any ulterior motives and finding out that Yuri removed his Gear just for him made Joe extra excited and listening to the rap hyping up the two for the biggest night of their lives made me so hyped.

The old Mikio, huh? I wonder what he was like... Well, I like him more now. And, lol, Nanbu saying that he'd kick Joe's butt. That's my favorite part from this episode.

But wow... Seeing Yuri like that is just crazy. This calm professional boxing going out of his way to fight Joe. But it gives him some depth and I like that. I loved seeing him and Joe training for their fight. That crazy excited face Joe made at the end was so awesome.

Looks like the domesticized dog finally went feral... I can't imagine the pain Yuri is going through since the gear was basically a part of his body at that point. Super hyped for the final fight, I think it's going to be great.

What a fantastic build up episode. Respect to Yuri, he went through all that pain for his desire to fight Joe fair and square. Yukiko also deserves some love, she could have been a bitch character but she didn't and I really like her for that. Let's fucking go final episode, Gearless Joe vs Gearless Yuri.

What an episode.. Yuri removes his gear, Nanbu teaches Joe with only his sound, Joe trains with Aragaki. AND ITS GOING DOWN IN THE LAST EPISODE! I love the small rap in the beginning or the end of the episode. Goated serie.

Another amazing episode. "why would they go through such lengths to fight each other?" I was wondering that too XD. And nanbu turning into mf daredevil using sound now. I also liked everyone in the Shirato group a lot more after this episode. I got really hyped at the end

Yuri is a true hero, he doesn't want any advantages. I feel bad for the owner of Shirato, she trusted him deeply.
Joe is training himself in a crazy way, his past is now discovered, it wasn't such a well keeped secret!
I'm 100% hyped for the final match of the series.
