| Gagumber continues show why he is a badass :o Zackletu also shows a much more brash and vulnerable side of herself, something that is rare for her personality. Hell of an episode imo. We got drama, a lot of personality, and showing how dangerous their world can be without laws. Zackletu herself was quite entertaining to watch. |
 |
| Gagumber's opener of a mind-thought, his past must haunt him somehow. The father-daughter family stalemate continues reeling on Gagumber's ass. While the guys recoup, Zackletu spending time with Memempu and revealing her vulnerable side that's rare to see, I don't really mind some drama to slow things down a bit. Peering on Gagumber's past reveals his days of being a Marker while Memempu shares her death flag nightmarish dream to Zackletu, and for the father, his memories of unforgiveness with his former dead comrade Rufus and leaving behind his kid Zack to go on deadly Marker adventures. To hear that the same kid that grew into the beauty with a grudge, Gagumber really did a deed unsalvageable to Zackletu, using Memempu as her bait-and-switch to force the father to admit his wrongdoings kinda seems excessive. But since Gagumber is the kind of person where his cowardice is "one step forward, many steps back", Zackletu forcing a hand on him I feel is justified to resolve their grievances. This episode is one hell of a familial drama. Gagumber is more than we ever realized with his internal Gale modification, and Zackletu can be a nice character altogether. |
 |
| Honestly, if Zackletu had killed Gagumber, I wouldn't blame her at all. Someone gutless and with dubious personality, just plot armor I guess. I hope Urorop really kill him. This episode made Zackletu equalize to Memenpu to best character. And Gagumber surpass Yuri and become the worst. |
 |
| Wow nice plot twist with Zackletu being Zack. I mean when they introduced the name Zack it seemed pretty obvious - especially since another new char ... would have been too much. But before that it wasn't something I would have expected. |
| Fuck zack. All my homies hate zack. What a POS. Hate the trope of anime characters attacking people without even hearing them out. I hope Gagumba is able to bounce back. |
 |
| It was never really explained what happened to Zacks brother |
| Zackletu was willing to maim/murder a man based on a situation she never witnessed and doesn't fully understand, without making any attempt at trying to get all the information. All while drugging the man's innocent child, holding them hostage, and nearly getting them killed out of your own negligence. At some point, her actions just aren't justifiable, no matter how she justified her feelings are. |
| Greata episode! So Gagumber won't apologize because he doesn't think he is wrong. We got to see more of Gagumber's marker past. Turns out Zack is also Zackletu! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |

| Hmm, I feel like this could have been a great episode, but it was too out of the left field for me. Gagumber's former dead partner, the younger sibling who turned out to be Zackletu, Gagumber's secret power, etc. I feel like these concepts were introduced too swiftly and didn't really allow me to get emotionally attached to the episode. The end with Memenpuu, Gagumber and Zackletu continuing on with their journey kind of came abruptly too. I mean, Gagumber has half dead and in the next scene, they are already taking off lol. |

Yeah, the ending felt quite anticlimactic because of how RUSHED it was. @UltimatDespair It wasn't uncommon for girls to dress and act like boys for safety reasons - especially in danger/war-zones. (less chance to get kidnapped/raped) |

Zakku- said: UltimatDespair said: Might be a dumb question but is Zack trans or just a cross dresser? yeah, i'm curious about that too, manga readers summoned This is anime original bruh. Also probably just pretending to be a boy for safety reasons. Correction: It's apparently based on a novel. Not a light novel but a whole ass book. phantomfandom said: The biggest twist here is the revelation that Gagumber is a kind of guy that won't ever apologize if he think he's not wrong, even if the sitation will quickly resolved if he apologize. As of now he's still not apologize to Zack. This personality really turns me off (I'm not saying that he should apologize). I mean, Gagumber doesn't need to apoligze to Zackletu cause as far as we know he did nothing wrong. It looks like Rufus died in a random kaiju attack while they were adventuring |
| What in earth are Zackletu and Gagumber even doing... I was expecting Gagumber to come clean about his past in the final stretch of the episode but nada, he didn't bulge at all and the conclusion didn't feel like a conclusion at all. |
| So Zack was Zackletu and she is a girl. Nice plot twist. I thought Gagumber died XD |

| This episode had some awkward directing that completely destroyed the intensity of the finale, the start was way too crammed with a bunch of info going on and the end was just a fight with ghosts lmao The amount of revelations was interesting, they finally tied the character of Zack so the last step would be clearing the Memenpu dreams and the Ururop shit, hope the final episodes are not as rushed |

There was an interesting plot in here, but it didn't get executed in a way that's going to mesh with all the lighter moments. |
| Great episode and development. I didn’t see all that coming. |

| wow Zack and Zackletu, i should realized it sooner. so Gagumber only apologize to Memempu, so he really did nothing wrong back then. never really explained what happened with Rufus, it must be just a Random Kaiju. |
 |
| We finally get to the point! The last 4 should be equally interesting. |
| It's a relief that no one died... or maybe not yet.. I think both of them are wrong because Gagumber doesn't want to apologize or give any information/news about it (after all he's the only one who knows Rufus' situation, no one knows but Gagumber) but Zackletu is also wrong for not wanting to hear anything from Gagumber and keeps shooting him. If Zack had really killed Gagumber, then she would have made Memenpu an orphan when she already knew how bitter it was to be left alone. But the ending is a bit like.. because the moment when Gagumber tried to save Memenpu and finally apologized it seemed like Gagumber was going to die... but thankfully no one died |
 |
| It would have been nice to cover more of Gagumber's past but it seems like it will continue to be saved for later. Now the Zack - Zackletu twist feels pretty obvious, but hey, he's ventured and just like us, he's still waiting for an explanation. That colony, due to its security problems and the water in a bag, reminds me of my country. |

Crashmatt said: It was never really explained what happened to Zacks brother They showed a footprint from one of those godzilla monsters and lots of blood in the camp site that Gaggumbar walked away from him at. I assume he got attacked and killed because he was by himself. |
| Things got really hectic and intense and I'm just glad that no one was killed off in this episode. There was a lot to take in, but although Zackletu being Zack was pretty easy to guess, it was implemented pretty well here. However, she really went to extreme lengths to take Memempu hostage to get Gagumber to come to her so that she could open a bombardment of shouting and shooting, along with some explosives for good measure. Both Gagumber and Zackletu were idiots here, although it's understandable as to why either of them didn't want to let up and apologise so easily. At least Gagumber apologised to Memempu at last, which was needed. =) Anyways, I see some fanservice in the next episode, which is probably needed after the intensity we had today. =P |
| The whiplash with that preview for next episode lmao. But this was definitely the best episode so far. While communication definitely would have avoided this situation, I can't blame Zacklettu for snapping. She waited long enough for Gagumber, but she got nothing. Though Gagumber could have contacted Zacklettu at least back then, he didn't do anything really wrong either. There's definitely more to the backstory, and I am intrigued to see the whole picture, plus there's also the Memenpu stuff. Well, at least they all got it out of their systems. |
 |
| Feel like this could have been the main arc for the entire show and it would have been better (pacing included). I don't really feel the made in abyss inspired bit of finding this ultimate location (using a map by someone who I suspect is related to our main cast) in gonna pay off that well. |
| so Zackletu has a hidden grudge against Gagumber huh... Memenpu being useless as always... 4/5. |
 |
| I mean obviously what Zacklettu did was beyond stupid and utterly deplorable, I just hate Gagumber significantly more? I mean, I've never liked Gagumber, I am actually surprised anyone likes him as a character, but this episode took it to a whole new level. I think unfortunately this is a show that seems to be really emphasising the characters, leaning heavily on them and their interactions to be entertaining, but they're just shit characters. I also like how they didn't hint at the Zack thing at all beforehand, making me wonder if this plotline was just pulled out of their ass for this episode. |
| Damn, so the green one was a sedative... Rufus's life is worth more to Zackletu than all the money Gagumber owes her. I think her initial sentiment "You made me lose a brother, I'm going to make you lose a daughter", then it became more of a test to see if he would save someone close if he was able to - that is maybe Rufus' death was beyond Gagumber's control. Rufu's death did affect Gagumber, that is why he didn't want to return to being a marker with Memempu as his partner because he knew what would happen. He cares but is self-centered about it and never apologised to Zackletu. So Memempu's visions care to do with the chip, are we going to see more of Urorop since she was there previous episode? |

 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
it seems to be based on a novel, I thought it was based on a manga tho mb ^^ |
|
| wait wait wait first off whilst this was the wildest episode yet that was all over the pace at the same time why did zack change to a girl so she could get gagumber off guard? she went through all that trying to kill him and he didn't answer her about rufus and she's okay now and they're partnering up again? next episodes a beach episode am i gonna have to do the obligatory cloud 9 "you're so hot brother" to zackletu now? |
 |
| OK, Zackletu was really extreme with what she did here and using Memepu as bait after feeding her tainted tea was just cowardly for sure. However, I am hoping she realized just how awful her actions were here. I mean, when Memepu and Gagumber were reunited, she started crying and talking about "all that she did". If she had taken Gagumber's life, she would have left Memepu with no family at all. She even knew by their previous conversation that while they argue a lot, Gagumber is all Memepu really has and she still cares about him. Also, here's hoping Yuri can do something of value in the remaining four episodes. |
| The mental gymnastics this show pulls to make gagumber be the bad guy. I mean he sucks (just like everyone else in this show), but he didn't really do anything that would require such an emotional climax. Literally just disciplined his dumb brat of a child. The girls called him selfish when they are arguably way worse than him. Characters aside, this episode was a mess. The gale power and Zack storyline came outta nowhere. |

Infinite said: I think unfortunately this is a show that seems to be really emphasising the characters, leaning heavily on them and their interactions to be entertaining, but they're just shit characters. Mostly this. This makes everything phony. HanaKana is really mediocre here. |
| intense ep, and kinda messy ngl. a tear jerker but only Knowing that does nott help bc i still cried LMAO rufus was kinda cute tho u all cant lie my mans would've had modeling agents turn their necks if they existed |
| The episode was... surprising. Dropping it until further notice. |
 |
| Finally some real interesting development for Zackletu and Gagumber and how they were related back then since Gagumber and her brother Rufus were a duo but Rufus unfortunately died so not surprising she pulled that drama on him... and seems like he really had that (un)sealed power, which is actually quite interesting, I just wish it was used since the beginning |
 |
| While Zackletu taking Memempu hostage was bad, Gagumba is an even shittier person for never owning up to Rufus' death as he never apologizing and instead was a coward who fled to another colony. Definitely one of the more interesting episodes imo. |
