| So they will gonna die in order the flashback of what happened to their past Still enjoy this quite a lot Next victim, Monkey's death in proper XD 5/5 |
| Past = Character is gonna die , i hope they wont make it more predictable |
| BRAWLERS |
| That monkey is scary af. Did anyone noticed too? |
 |
| what point is there in watching this when you know whats going to happen based on the ep titles |
| People are dying real quick, something is telling me rat has an ability to reverse the time back to start. That may be why everyone felt like they seen him. That can also prove why rat is asleep all the time because boredom (seeing the same type of thing all over again). AND the fact that he knows about the sewers mean he has been to this place many times!!! |
 |
| this is an "Action" anime right? if so then why do the fights always last 3-10 seconds and always end up with one character not even trying, the deaths are too sudden with no real buildup (probably due to the pathetic fights) and the episode format is repetitive and dull, it's trying to be Magical Girl Raising project but making the mistake of being predictable as fuck. It's been 3 eps and although mildly frustrating to watch it's not shit enough to warrant dropping >.> |
| Waifu material is ded x_x So they're probably just make the death order exactly like what's shown in the ending song(?) That's interesting yet disappointing at the same time.. Also whoever will die gets some perspective / background which kinda reminds me of Danganronpa 3 future arc lol. Next episode still makes me curious tho. Who's going to kill the monkey? Nezumi? Usagi? or maybe the Goat? can't wait for it! |

| Just a thought, but is it possible that the reason why Niwatori was unable to stop herself from protecting Sharyu is because of some ability that Sharyu has, or the tea? Maybe I'm overthinking it though |
 |
| The chicken has fallen! So Niwatori is a spy huh! Poor Zombie Boar pecked and totally eaten by birds up to the very bone? What happened to the Ironclad guy? did the ox beat him already!? wow Niwatori didn't even noticed the presence of Nezumi! The One-Man Army affected her mental emotions huh... Ox is really one powerful opponent and the favourite of the people to be the winning candidate. 5/5. |
 |
| I mean, with the ED and the previews I really don't think this show is or was ever going for the "unpredictable" factor with the order of the killing game. Yeah it's more than likely going to end with rat winning and the others dying in the speculated order but I think the anime's focus has been on developing these characters. Who they are, how they got to this point in their life and the moments leading up to their deaths. It might be somewhat tiresome or even lazy to do the backstory=death thing but I can't say I haven't been enjoying these characters. If anything their backstories have been unpredictable than the battle itself. Looking forward to knowing more about Monkey and her ability. That being said 0/5 not enough best girl Usagi. |
 Anime was the catalyst of my life's downward spiral. Joining MAL was the nail in my coffin.  Every day I keep screaming into the void, but god just tells me to shut up. |
| I'm having a lot of fun with this show, but like everyone else I'm worried it will get stale due to the backstory followed by death set-up we've gotten thus far. Also, I'm of the opinion that Monkey's ability is what influenced Niwatori in the end. It would cast a shadow over Monkey's character in general, but it seems more likely than Niwatori's mental state arising from the drug or herself. Rat though... he certainly has my interest. |
 |
| Horse,one of my favourites got killed off screen? (;A;) Since Ox had bloodstains all over him and he's one of the favourites to win,I guess,yeah... Horse is dead. Mehh. I don't really care about the winner anymore,because Nezumi gives me a strong mc/winner/survivorwhatever vibe and he's shown as the last one in the ED,which would mean we have a reversed zodiac order... |
 |
| I think it is about time to drop the scheme of killing the one episode focuses on. It is the time for some change. Despite the predictability so far, it is one of the most enjoyable shows this season. Such a shame Cock died. She got a lot of fans and was in centre for one and half episode. It is really weird she refused to join Monkey. She could completely take advantage on the game, especially having the Dog's buff. I'm curious where was our necromancer when his minion was being pecked to death. I supposed he is nearby and had everything under control. Seems like I was wrong. Monkey get all the information she wanted from Cock. She was surprised on honesty she was answering them with. That has to be Monkey's way to work. Information first. Nice episode, I wait for more, 4/5. |
Scarlett_ryuken said: Holy fuck, now everything has sense now!Illyricus said: Now that you have brought that point to the table... you may be right. It's very weird that just a single person managed to convince entire countries to stop their wars that easily, it wouldn't be surprising if she has an ability able to control (or at least influence) people like she wants. The drug thing sounds convincing enough. I will take that theory then. or you know, people dont actually die when they are killed and shiro is wrong |
 |
| I guess there's no way to revive Boar anymore since Niwatori's crows ate her. Holy crap. Nothing left, I bet. Jesus. I was actually hoping that it's still possible to save her. :/ RIP, Boar aka Inounoshishi. So, Niwatori unknowingly murdered her parents for abusing her for years and she's like 'Fuck this. I'm so done with your bullshits!' then killed them then amnesia. Haha. Heck, she really killed Dotsuku just like that. Dotsuku was awesome, though. And now she's dead for she was killed by Ushii (Ox). How kind of her for not killing Shuryuu (Monkey), though. Bye, Niwatori, the walking fanservice of this show. Nezumi is by far my fave in this anime. He's like me who just loves sleeping all the time. Haha. And Ushii (Ox) killed Uuma (Horse), too. Uuma looks like a kind person, though. Such a waste of character. Poor him. :/ Holy shit. Niwatori was eaten by the birds since she told them that they can eat her. Fucking sugoi. Haha. I honestly love the dialogues in this show. As expected by Nisio-sensei. <3 |

| Loving the story but is clear Rat will win at the end by tricking Boar. Great adaptation of the original zodiac story so far. Monkey next. |
Hagorama said: Tenth said: *sigh* Wish this anime would just drop the predictable "whoever gets the focus/background this episode dies in the same episode" aspect of this show already... I think this was the last episode with that format, cause I don't see them killing monkey so soon. 12: Pig 11: Dog 10. Rooster 9. Monkey Sorry, reckon she is next mate. |
Vindicater said: 12: Pig 11: Dog 10. Rooster 9. Monkey Sorry, reckon she is next mate. Monkey seems like a major character so I don't think they would kill her this early, And there is no reason to believe that they will follow that order. We can only wait for the next episode to see what really happens. You can't say for sure that she will get killed next or she will survive. |
| From now on,I'll avoid all the places with a lot of birds btw. Damn it. |
|
| Monkey see monkey do. Shuuya's power has to be the casting version of this mimicry. In other words how she feels or what she does is invoked by the victim. That is why Tori's fighting will left her. This power gave her empathy yet at the same time made her a pacifist. That's why she didn't even fight back. That has to be the Monkey's power. It probably doesn't affect Ratpier because of his laid back lazy personality. So he is already peaceful. |

| So according to legend, the rat wins by tricking the ox. Because during the zodiac race, the runners come across a river that they can't cross. However, the ox can swim. The rat being the smallest had zero chances of winning, but he deceived the ox by pretending to drown and gain his pity and service as a result. If the story continues down this path, Ratpier is going to trick ox to lower his guard. It could also end with him faking his death and right as ox tries to cut up his stomach, he makes his move. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they take the story in another way. |

To be honest, according to the legend the strongest was the dragon, he can fly and did not need to swim and can reach first place very fast , but he have kind heart and helping others so that's why he late at race So far the dragon doesn't care about anything. Not even for his dead brother. But I feel like he thinks his brother is still alive somehow. His power could be even be that even if decaptitated he still lives. Or the she'd skin theory. |

| Im not LOVING this anime but I am liking it. Entertaining enough to keep watching at least. It's interesting because I was thinking after the second episode that each episode will be the perspective of someone dying, but I dont think they'll keep doing that forever tbh. Niwatori was definitely going to die. Her personality was too destructive and I thought at least before they revealed how cunning she was she would live, but after she killed The Dog I knew she wouldn't last. The main thing irking me right now is we DONT KNOW why they're fighting (aside from the "wish") and what the world is like. Why do civilians let these people fight. Do other civilians have powers? How did they just wipe a city out that fast? Are the people dead or just relocated? Doesn't make sense to me. Its a short anime so the twist that will inevitably happen will either happen soon or last minute. I'm hoping soon because I don't want The Monkey to die, but I'm sure The Rat has some power to reverse things. Everyone has talked about Deja Vu about him and he never seems scared or interested in the potential aspect of another Zodiac killing him. I think its nice we get to learn about a character before they die. Gives us some type of attachment instead of just killing off random characters we couldn't care less about. |

| NOOOO NOT BEST GIRL!!!! NIWATORI DESERVED BETTER!! sigh |
  |
| So Niwa was just faking at how useless she was when she was actually very capable at combat then. Buts its how each character has a vastly different side to them that makes them more unpredictable as Dog discovered. Niwa's childhood though was quite sad though. Though it seems that loyalty to others is not something that she values when she's better at being more loyal to herself. Being pecked to death man Boar really has it tough being killed twice though. It seems that Niwa's beliefs clash a lot with Monkeys though. Its odd seeing Niwa be put off by Monkey's kindness though. Hmm that poison from Dog sure is having some interesting effects on Niwa. If she was her normal self then she might have avoided death for the time being. But another one falls it seems. Interesting episode that did well to show the origin story for Niwatori and establish the type of character she was. |

 She said "Amai". It was translated as "It's sweet." But "amai" has two meanings. First, "it's sweet" as it was translated, but also "you're naive" or "that's wishful thinking" -- which would also apply here, since Monkey had just finished explaining part of her plan. I love it when they use double entendre in anime. I wish my Japanese was better so I could catch all of them -- but also I wish that the translators would actually point them the fuck out! >:-( |

Oh well. Nice catch! Yeah, something like that would be good. Occasionally, translators will add a note here and there, but not a much as I think they should. Anyway, it seems pretty obvious from this episode (and I'm sure we'll learn more next week) that Monkey's ability is to force others to be an ally. Either that or to protect her. "Killing peacefully" indeed. Niwatori went down thinking that One Man Army is what is controlling her, but she didn't realize that Sharyu's ability was also working on her. |

| Well shit. Next episode HYPE. Ox knows about monkey's hideout. Horse might be dead. (99.9% sure) Rabbit might join the fight because Zombified Boar died. |
AbhayDX said: The ox guy is the epitome of a badass... He's too op. He has 3/4 (not sure if Horse died) crystals. |
| Imo the rat has time power or something like that, that's why everyone thinks that they know him from somewhere. |
| Seems like our death pattern is becoming pretty clear. I liked Niwatori's backstory and her cunning plans, it was pretty interesting. Plus it seems as though other people's powers are becoming clearer - like Monkey probably gets people to act on her behalf, and Rat ... clearly seems "familiar" to everyone for some reason. Did Ox really kill Horse already?! Offscreen?! Maybe he ran away or something. Monkey's up next and I wouldn't mind if she died tbh, but I'm curious to see whether we'll break from the pattern or not. Also these deaths are pretty quick huh? :P Seems like Ox is crazy strong even with Niwatori having the drug :O |
| It was a great episode. I really feel that Niwatori's conduct wasn't from the One Man Army drug, but really from Monkey's kindness. I have a feel that "her way" is indeed not to kill with her own hands, but with some other ways, not sure how yet though. I'm still pretty sad the dog died so fast...but I'm really excited to see the next episode! |
| Tite Kubo feels This formula is not new, it is used in many manga and novels, I do not know why they complain It would not make sense to show everyone a flashback and then follow the current story, it would be cool if they first released a movie with everyone's story, then focus only on the battle royale, or an anime with 12 eps from everyone's story and a movie with fights |

 |
| a few bones and a skull doesn't fool me, Boar is still alive and will be back, I'm calling it This show will most likely pull a Akuma no Riddle lol |
| I'm glad that the Rabbit didn't get Chicken and her power. He would have been pretty OP if he had her with his crew.

Monkey Sorry, reckon she is next mate. It seems like this is the way it's going, but Snake was the first one to die. Unless he's faking it somehow and can regrow it, like a hydra, or can reattach his head whenever his brother gets the chance to. Plus, they're making it seem like Ox killed Horse offscreen, so that throws it off too. I really like Monkey, so I hope she lives. It looked like she did something to Niwatori, which kind of makes her scary but also a useful ally in creating peace. |
°˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° |
| Strange she thought she could win but still died so suddenly. Like she saw things in slow motion but still couldn't move. |
 |
| the Chicken backstory is messed up also the boss have a Galaxy S5 I think |
