either way, he is a really deep character, it hought of it just being a yandere-ish plain boy.


Not trying to attack you because you're obviously entitled to your own opinion; but I'm curious. Why do you see Cutthroat as a really deep character? I don't see anything beyond him being a serial killer who gets excited by seeing the color red and wants to kill Swindler because of some vague red halo vision? Yeah, maybe it has to do with some neurological condition which would add some depth to his character, but if they never explain the red halo thing, it doesn't really merit this much credit. Also, even if he had a condition, his personality throughout the show was still extremely static and he underwent no character development whatsoever.


i could say, honestly, that we didn't saw that much about him in the show. it already have an ending and we got nothing much, yet i think of him like a pretty heavy character because of the way it's so open. we could get a backstory of him, a real reason why the red is there, why he sees that red halo, and how do you exactly make it bigger as brawlier did. i can tell he isnt that deep actually in the show, i recollected my though of him while the anime ended, but he is indeed a very open character because of all the missing things. yet, i still see him better than an usual yandere-boy-cliché mostly because of the plot-twist. i dunno, i really should think about it more though !!

I understand the complaints about Cutthroat being able to kill every executioner inside the HQ being unrealistic, but I'm not sweating the small details. This show is clearly willing to trade a bit of logic in exchange for fun, and that's something I'm completely fine with. You gotta admit, the mountain of bodies Cutthroat was standing on was quite the spectacle and the entire chase scene that resulted was great.

Seems like Swindler is starting to enjoy her new akudama life. She really did caused an impressive amount of chaos.

Cutthroat's cake for his Swindler took my by surprise. That was an insane amount of executioners he killed by himself. I guess the only decent executioners were Master and his Pupil.

I was honestly expecting Swindler to get rescued by Courier again but I'm glad I was wrong. Swindler's exasperated "go figure" before ambushing Cutthroat was beautiful.

well, sister was a bit annoying this episode. should've known, after i said she was a cute little kid last episode

don't think i'll watch these final 3 episodes. can't see the conclusion being worth it. would i like to know how it ends? of course. but do i see it making sense, or being good enough to make the prior 11 episodes worth watching? nah

4/10. dropped. i hope the rest of you enjoy it though

This is such a pretty show. I just love the style.

I agree the plot has issues and gets worse the more you think. The execution though- well worth the price of admission and so much better than the dross we usually get these days.

Quite the crazy episode now that the whole city has gone mad. Dammit Hoodlum, never stick your dick in crazy even if she appears as a eye-catching woman. Good thing Swindler took care of the other insanely crazy Akudama, Cutthroat.

I refuse to believe that Cutthroat would die like that. Oh well almost all of the best characters are gone now.

For a moment I thought they were going to reveal that Cutthroat was actually part of some experiment and this whole red halo nonsense was one of the side effect but nope, he's just I'm a psycho ;p kill kill character.
Hoping this whole riot isn't some sort of attempt from the show of doing social commentary.

The fact that they showed Cutthroat's POV on how he views Swindler, I'm just glad I didn't watch this at night o_O

And Swindler yet achieved another level of growth, managing to kill Cutthroat albeit barely

Dang, the city is in chaos :o Killing Akudama/ even minor infractors on the streets...scary to see, but not unexpected from vigilante groups.

Being on the the side of Cutthroat's killing intent was scary as heck. It was interesting to see what he sees though. I wonder what red halos mean. Cool The Shining reference. And I can't believe it was Swindler that took him out, if he is dead. (I wish we could get the Akudama's backstories...it's such a waste :/ ).

Hacker's little orb thing looked like it helped open the door. I hope Hacker is controlling it...

And they were so close to getting to Brother, agh.

Pierrot making an original uncensored gory anime with great visuals and animation? IMPOSSIBLE!
LOL The "Here's Johnny" from The Shining movie reference was expected as the title of the episode is literally the movie's name.
HOLY SHIT the blood amount in this anime is unbelievable. Never thought Studio Pierrot the one who makes censored mainstream anime and is infamous for bad adaptations making such gory original source anime. Takahiro Sakurai's performance as Cutthroat is amazing. Not sold on the plot though but the visuals are outstanding.
Pierrot just used all of its budget on Akudama Drive. Now they are doing the same with BLEACH TYBW.I mean Boruto is soo bad that it didn't even deserve good animation and thats a fact.

Dang Cuthroat speaking normally after all that, (For the first time as well?) Was pretty spooky, wonder what went on in his head. Like he said he knows he's being selfish haha. I'm glad that Swindler kind of got the drop on him, although probably could have done better idk, I sure hope she took some more of those laser swords with her! Might come in handy haha, also did she grab the hacker drone again?

Not gonna lie, the hide and seek scene between Cutthroat and Swindler scared me lol, I was startled when I heard that knock on the bathroom door where she was hiding.

The red halo that Cutthroat kept talking about will indeed make it very difficult for Swindler to escape because it moves wherever she goes and Cutthroat will follow wherever the line goes. She was so panicked that she even forgot to take Sister with her...

Even after everything they did to get to the Brother's place.. even Swindler had to stab Cutthroat (because she was totally terrified at the sight of Cutthroat, that bathroom scene was really cool and gave me goosebumps).. they still missed it.

No matter how crazy Cutthroat is, he is my favorite character here so I hope he doesn't die yet.

It was kinda funny to hear the Sister called Courier "kuso no hito!" or shit guy lol. And all four of them are quite similar, appearance-wise.

Cutthroat's psychotic breakdown was so great, I loved every second of it. The red halo concept was a nice touch, Swindler really is special.

Who always wanted to kill the girl then get killed by the girl. Ironically dead for Akudama S rank. Finally they meet the bro and flying with chopper. Time to chase him more.

Cutthroat turned into even more of a stereotypical slasher villain now. I doubt he's dead, however. He went out of his way to say that he can't be killed without at least losing his limbs, so you would've thought Swindler would decapitate him while she had the chance.

Swindler is better at fighting than over a hundred executioners combined, apparently. The executioner who fought Brawler must've been the only competent one in existence.

An excellent reference to the "Here's Johnny" scene from The Shining. Cutthroat's insanity is so fitting.
That "cake" of corpses would look delicious if he removed the male corpses. Many of those female Executioners looked pretty and I would love to devour all of them. Haha!
