Hmm, they really wanted us to understand more about Saki's character and her relationship with Mirai. Kinda depressing episode when you consider her request to be killed.

She also seems much more confident now as a candidate and growing trust with her allies. Not bad for a girl who came into his anime with a timid personality.

Saki confessing how she too along with the flow used to bully Mirai was definitely shocking for him to know after all these years. That sense of guilt she was always carrying with herself eventually led her to become a god candidate too. That's why it kinda make sense with all her actions and that gloomy personality she had up until now. Watching her being cheerful now and even renting out a place to use it as their new base was atleast something redeeming after all these episodes.

Also Revel with all sorts of expressions was fun to see, he will give his best too.

Of course he wouldn't throw her and kill her this way, but bullying him to follow the others is rough, I understand why she would feel like that, now her angel need to rank up so she would get the wings... really sad ending scene with Mukaido and his daughter :( next character is a stand user for sure

Im sure this episode would have been interesting if the characters still were not bland asf after 8 episodes. One episode of her changing her mind about wanting to die and her now being magically useful with knowledge does not change things, its lazy writing.

Saki's backstory of how she wanted to die was a big shock to me. Ig that's what happens when you want to follow the crowd, especially in middle school. That preview got me all creeped out

I don't understand the ending can someone explain?
Was it because he'll never see his daughter in a wedding dress because he's ill or for some other reason?

Glad to see Saki getting some development since she couldn't participate in the fight against Metropoliman. Saki feeling regret about her past treatment towards Mirai leading her to slip back into wanting to kill herself like she was when Revel found her. Good thing that Mirai can understand how Saki feels and not lash out for her joining in with the bullies. Mirai has said before that he would rather take pain than dish it out so it makes sense he would forgive Saki and understand her. Letting Saki choose herself if she wants to live or die, no pleading or begging her to live, just letting Saki pick for her own life. Happy that Saki turned herself around and wants to help Mukaido and Mirai out more. Seeing Mukaido daughter not realize her dad won't be around to see that wedding dress worn is very sad. This new villain looks like fun.

That's an unexpected kind of backstory. Feelings of guilt and turned into depression led her into the ocean, because Saki thought its her indirect bullying that cause Mirai to suicide. But her bully also because of she just following the crowd around while in fact she's supposed to helping him as his forever friend, like what they promised back on the childhood age. Well, i won't blame her, and its about time to make her forgot about that. Still, its just an unexpected kind of reason to make you suicide. Guess Saki just had the weak mental, like Mirai. So, alright, that's an understandable reason. But i truly thinking it should be more than that. Oh well, it is what it is....

Mukaido part actually better than Saki way of change. The impact looked more strong, especially when he talked with his family. I really hope he could survive, until that God selection over. But, the show must go on. Revel have a goal, to giving vibrant Saki more meaningful existence. And Mr Metropoliman won't forget to use more pawn, once again to hunt them....

How could Saki be apologetic for her bullying and not being there for Mirai, if she's then asking him to kill her?

Also, how did she manage to grab back onto his arm after letting go. Some shady directing there.

All in all, I'm glad she did pass Mirai's test and seems a lot more lively after her revelation.

Can't help but feel bad for Mukaidou either. It's sad that he has chance to be a God, but knows that he's already defeated from the start - even creating a wedding dress for his daughter's future wedding when he won't be there.

i interpreted it of how he was making the wedding dress for his daughter earlier bc he wouldn’t be alive to actually see her on her wedding day (or even be alive to see her in middle or high school bc he may die whenever)

So this whole episode was dedicated to death flags? Why not. Cancer guy is definitely gonna be a sacrifice sooner or later and Saki's death may finally make the MC nut up and act proper.

I did like the Luffy energy the MC had this episode. Threatening to kill a character to force them to say what they really feel is practically One Piece 101. And just like Luffy, no one can resist being true to their feelings when they are forced to confront them.

Big Jojo vibes in the next God candidate. Hopefully they brought over Araki's superior storytelling along with his art style. This show greatly needs it.

The wedding dress scene was pretty sad. But I can't tell if the wife thinks Mukaido is cheating or not. Maybe she does believe him and is sad for her daughter. But for that to happen, the story would actually have to be decent. And this story is not. But I probably liked this episode the best out of all the ones I watched.

All I can think of when it comes to Japanese bullying is Narutaru and Brigadoon. Maybe this one time, the MC could have not forgiven Saki. But then he wouldn't be our loser, would he?

Oh I didn't expect there to be a conversation between Saki and Mirai, it was time for these two to understand to facilitate the atmosphere between them.

They've already found out a lot of information about Metropoliman and it's just a matter of time for they try to discover Metropoliman's true identity I'm excited for that.

Mukaidou seriously deserves to be in a better show. Or have at least a better cast surrounding him.

Underwhelming episode overall. Given Saki's always gloomy demeanor, I was really expecting some serious revelations yet her backstory and reason to die left a lot to be desired and please, let's not talk about the new JoJo character that got introduced as next antagonist. I mean, as if this show's villains weren't ridiculous enough already...

it turned into and unintentional comedy for me, the imposible hand grab and that total change of personality in Saki.
I know this is supposed to be dead serious but really I couldn't help it
Mukaido o the main reason I keep watching.
And I can't stop thinking this is probably a poor adaptation. But since I didn't read the manga I can't be sure

I swear two introvert main characters never work.. they are soo boring.
But if we ignore Mirai and Saki, despite all the illogicality, I started to get used to this show a bit (Thanks to Revel and Mukaidou)

Why didn't Mirai mention the most distinctive and unique feature when describing how Metropoliman looks like ? Like dude his hair is WHITE!! He just said ''Well he was a little bit pale, he was handsome...'' Who else has white hair in anime besides angels like c'mon!

Also, is the only reason Saki is so depressed and suicidal because she bullied Mirai in the past ? Someone here on MAL said Saki's past was so sad in the manga.. I hope that's not the only reason.

That Kabedon though

Also, what is this, I have too many questions with the writing, and i'm confused.

And for some reason Mirai randomley and suddenly lets Saki decide her fate, with a different facial expression...

But the ending was sad I suppose...

Why the fuck was Mirai in such a creepy getup staring at Saki like that in school? Ik he's depressed and all but couldn't he at least try to act normal? Very out of place scene.

I'm glad Saki herself isn't a total dirtbag. Looks like she went over her fears overnight and now she's a much more cheerful person. I wasn't expecting this change but I welcome it.

Metropoliman with his big brain figured out Mirai and Mukaido's plan while at the same time a fellow classmate of his found out he's Metropoliman. I feel like he might be the key to Metropoliman's demise.

I almost forgot there were other candidates. I certainly forgot how many candidates there are in total tho. I was expecting more interesting characters but looks like this guy is an assassin? Too early to tell.

Now we're talking ! This is the first episode I enjoyed and it actually brought me some hopes back. Great focus on Saki's character and her's development. This transition ep abled the plot to move forward and didn't rely on plot conveniences to bring up tension and actually care about the characters.

I really hope it carries over this way on the upcoming episodes.

The animation quality is better in this episode. Even I, who doesn't pay too much attention to it, noticed how awful the animation looked in the last few episodes, especially in episode 6.

It's upsetting to see ppl still brushing off depression as "just being weak minded". This stigma is one of the reasons that can make depressed ppl unable to speak about their illness and don't get the treatment they need.

"They were assuming that mentally strong people couldn't have a mental illness, but the truth is, many individuals who have a mental illness are mentally strong. Those who assume otherwise don't understand mental strength. And they certainly don't understand mental illness.
Mental illness isn't treated the same as physical illness. When someone develops a physical illness, like cancer, no one ever says, "He wasn't physically strong, was he?" Instead, we look to things like genetics, the environment, and the person's immune system. While it's clear that a nutritious diet, plenty of sleep, and regular exercise can prevent some health issues, other physical conditions aren't 100 percent preventable. From the common cold to Alzheimer's, science hasn't yet given us a blueprint to prevent all illness."
(Source: psychologytoday)

And to those who don't understand Saki's reason, I suggest to read "Koe no Katachi" or watch the anime movie. Not exactly the same but it does show how guilt can drive you into depression and suicidal thoughts.

I do agree that it was ridiculous how Saki can still grab Mirai's arms when they have their arms already stretched out. That was poorly done. Saki changing her attitude 180 degree does seem too sudden and unnatural. Obviously, a very heavy load got lifted from her. I guess, this could've been done better too.

And yes, the obvious thing for Mirai to mention about Metroman's looks would be his hair. And his eye color. That's how you usually start describing ppl.

The Kabedon made me laugh.
But the ending was sad, Mukaido breaking down in his room and his wife quietly crying in the kitchen. They know he will not live to see his daughter in the wedding dress.

Peer pressure's a bitch. It's to be expected that Saki was suicidal as well, but definitely did not expect that backstory, quite frankly I was expecting something worse, but this was a bit more grounded. Would explain why she's always timid and reserved with Mirai, because she's been holding guilt all this time. Congrats Saki, you've regained your personality.

Lmao Kanade's friend figured out he's metropoliman just like that. It was kinda sad to see how dead inside Mirai and Saki is compared to their younger selves. But that last scene with Mukaido was really really sad though.

Jojo ass character at the end there.
