Fat Loki was hilarious, and Niijima's stepping away. And the animation quality has seemed to go up, but that just may be for these few episodes.

Great episode, though it all went a bit Gurren Lagann with the flashy lights and explosions... fun to watch though, and we got backstory on Hermit and some good comedy bits.

I thought Loki was supposed to be at least a bit intelligent, and still he says "Ragnarök always wins in the end" while threatening to hurt Honoka? He should understand that if he hurts her in any way Ragnarök will be done in in a matter of minutes via a Roaring Rampage Of Revenge. Of course, since Akisame is nearby, he could always revive her if anything happened. LOL

The animation in this episode was pretty good. I hope every episode can be like this one. At least the fights. ^_^

I think Hermit is my favorite character from this show. His voice reminds me Reinhard from LotGH.

I thought the animation in this episode was a huge step up from the previous episodes. The fight between Kenichi and Hermit has to be one of the best fights I've seen in a shounen anime.

Loki has decent tactics.

Behold of my awesomeness~

Fantastic episode and Hermit's backstory was a lot more serious then I thought this anime would ever be.

Yeezus... that was a Sad AF past that Hermit had, just when he was beginning to have some hope his hope was crushed by a doctor(?) I don’t know but her step-mom/doctor in her last words, before she was taken away... it felt to me like she was not behind all of that tragedy... but maybe I’m wrong. I want to see a more detailed explanation/epilogue to get some closure to that story, that is if the woman was innocent...

Was really disappointed that Kenichi managed to win after that kind of beating through the "power of friendship". Was kind of hoping that Hermit learned something in this fight that made him quit Ragnarok.

Best fight yet and one hell of a sad backstory.

That conversation between Hermit and Kenichi was hella cringey. The antagonist drops his sad backstory out of nowhere and says retarded things like a 5 year old edgy kid. And Kenichi responds with generic good-guy stuff -_-

Tge part showing Nijima running away was hilarious. The user above me is right, that conversation was so boring and cringe.

The animation really stepped up a notch this episode. Great fight scenes.

(btw the users above me complaining about the convo being "cringe" truly doesn't understand the essence of shounen.)

Rewatching the show after along time and a few moments are rough at 19:34 you see hermits face then no damage then 5 seconds later his face is beat up and he is bleeding i guess kenichi's words dealt physical damage.
