| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- well, it surely is Edamura's hardest job yet. although, it feels a bit odd how they combine the heavy-hitting child trafficking topic with a laidback attitude of the rest of the team. it felt alright in the previous cases, but this one definitely touches more on the morality also great english voiceovers for Cynthia and Abby |
 |
| Lol the kidnapping part was hilarious. Abby looked hot af in Arabian outfit. Wow for once their plan didn't go right, I feel bad for those children. |
 |
| The comedy was fun ha ha. When Cynthia said "it's a girl" - felt so funny. When the other guy just asked if the goods were art and stuff. And she just leisurely said that. (And he didn't even question how she knew that he was the correct guy to offer girls as human merchandise to.) Seems like they'll have to destroy that whole company. Kids won't flee. And rescuing Abbie and/or sending the police or taking away the kids by force ... could just happen in 1-2 more episodes. But we have 7 episodes for that arc left. And the female big boss of the company seemed interesting. |
| damn Abby is sexy hot again and yep this is the hardest job yet for Edamura and the gang for sure |
| Oh Cynthia your English is perfects as ever. Abby's looking good this episode as always, like the scheme as well they're trying to pull over on the yakuza leader. I like the parallels between the child trafficking and how heavily rooted it is for Edamura considering his past. Bet it's a lot more personal than it is about pulling one over on the yakuza. Wondering how they'll be able to take the kids too. Sadly no Laurent background but that's all right. Overall it was a solid episode, excited to see how this unfolds |
| Solid episode, and Cynthia's english was really good damn. Funny how Edamura was blocking Ishigami's camera from taking pictures of Abby lmao. Understandable thinking by the kids, I thought about that too. Even if they manage to escape where would they actually go. Looking forward to how they solve this problem. |
 |
| Okay Abby is the hottest girl in this series. Cynthia is hot af but Abby being cold and not caring about escaping because she was busy playing whatever game she was playing just won me over. Also, what that kid said really hit hard. It hurts but it's the fucking truth. Where are they gonna go? Their own parents sold them and will sell them off again if they had the chance. I was kind of disappointed in Laurent. I thought he was going to save those kids but it was Edamame who thought of helping them out first. He worked there everyday and saw how miserable they were. Edamame is a bigger man than Laurent for wanting to rescue them. |
| 臭い- |
| The hypocrisy of the child trafficking business is starting to wear on Edamura's nerves, while Laurent checks in with him and engages Cynthia to deal with the job. Now we're rolling! AND HOLY WOWSERS Cynthia's English was HOT DAMN GOOD. And Abby in disguise was just the *muack* moment to sink in the start of the plan to rope the child trafficking business to its knees. Edamura blocking Ishigami's trysts to take her naked shots LOL. Edamura pulling one off for the escape plan with Abby, but knowing his character, going to help the trafficked children also. But contrary to that, to save them means giving them a shelter, and Edamura has no means of provision, meaning that his plan is good as dead. Edamura's personal past interconnectedness with being an abandoned kid himself...the desperation is real. |
 |
| Unfortunate it failed. Let's see how he will manage to convince kids to escape with him. |
| Am I the only one surprised by Cynthia's English? It actually sounded really good. I had been expecting her to speak in Engrish like the rest of the cast! lol |
| I was quite shocked when realized Laurent & cia. didn't intend to save the children. At first I thought their goal was to get the money and dismantle the organization, but I guess not... well, fortunately Edamura will try to do something about it. I hope they find a place the kids can go. |
| Good episode. Cynthia in the sub speaks English towards Ishigami and the company there but it is interesting to note that in the dub since the others are speaking English anyway, she speaks French over there. Quite the interesting direction to go with that but I'm glad she did. Her English sounds good in the sub, and French sounds good in the dub. Abigail looks stunning too in her princess dress. It does help that she was from Iraq so she can definitely play the part well as a princess from the UAE. Was quite the scene though when she was forced to strip by Makoto by the orders of Akemi Suzaku. Makoto desperately wanted to help the kids who were forcefully confined there as victims of child trafficking when Laurent wanted Abigail to escape confinement for that part of the operation to succeed, but given how the kids felt like they had nowhere to go to and how they were abandoned by their parents, that part of the operation failed and Abigail had to go back to the room to avoid completely ruining the entire operation as a whole. Poor guy and poor kids. |
| I hope Laurent was just joking when he said he did not intend to save kids, I hope that it just his big scheme just to piss off Edamura heh. Laurent is not a bad guy, at least I hope so |
| “Life is a constant process of dying.” |
| Chyntia managed to trick the boss of a trading company It seems that Edamura really cares about the children who are arrested |
 |
| Abbie has become one of my favorite characters ever, I love her attitude. :’) This arc is dark, and this episode is the first one where the ED song felt out of place afterwards... still love that Freddie Mercury though. :-) Very interested to see how Edamura’s dad comes back in, and when we’ll finally get more from Laurent’s backstory with Dorothy I think it was? |
| Cold of Laurent for not giving a second thought to those children. Honestly and considering the heavy topic this arc is covering, it sure feels odd to see the team still acting with such laid-back attitude. |
| Well, didn't think the kids would be dead inside ROFL I mean sure you got nowhere to go but at least just go on another adventure and find da new home. Seems the kids are mentally ill from all dat abuse and abandonment. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Definitely a tough job for Edamame since it involves innocent lives, but they themselves aren't making it easy for him.. should be interesting to see how he gets through this! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Nice ass From firsthand experience I know that you can fit about 13 people in a standard car, make it 16 for that SUV, but too bad that these children didn't want to Tag along. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| They sold Abbie for a billion or something, big profit lolz. The plan failed, gotta try better next time. Harsh life for the kids.. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Praise for hiring an actual native english speaker as voice actor, its been a while since I've heard one in anime. Gotta love how Edamame stresses over how he is going to rescue the human trafficked kids while Abbie is casually playing a game |
 |
| Not a single person in this project realized that "Abigail" "Sam" and "Clark" followed by "Ibrahim" doesn't make them Arab names Also, Abigail as a Royal princess? seriously? they didn't even check or verify that It would've been better if they sticked to the "stereotypes" they know rather than this horrific ignorance |
| I know that Abigail isn't shy of anything usually but she is playing an Arab princess. She should have screamed and tried to cover herself up, not take off her clothes voluntarily. She might have done it reluctantly under threats, but not that calmly after one order. This was enough to expose she wasn't a real princess or Arab for that matter. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |

It can be Sami but he's known in the business as Sam. The way Abigail was acting wasn't convincing either. I actually wouldn't have been surprised if the boss lady figured out the game just from Abby's manners. I guess their only source is corrupt Arabs they see abroad. They never saw real, good Arabs. |

| Although, Edamura is a con man, at least he has his morals. Also, Cynthis'a english voice is actually amazing. Glad they didn't opt for engrish. |
 |
| So a princess gets kidnapped in a foreign country and they don't notice that the country isn't even bringing any news about it? Antagonists are royal stupid once again. |
