The fight scenes were excellently done! Especially the lit up ferris wheel frames took my breath away!


Its been a while since you wrote this but I just had to agree with you on how breathtaking this animation was. I literally jumped back in awe of the framing in this scene. It was really spectacular.

Cutthroat using the kid as a shield just to stab right through him. What a madman.

This stare was so intense holy fuck; gave me chills.


Fug, the fight with the executioner and Brawler was so good. That last fist fight in the rain was so badass.

Rip Brawler. You will be missed, gigachad.

This shot was incredible. Really made me sympathize with her loss.


I feel bad for Hoodlum. Him and Brawler were like bros. Seeing him find Brawler's body was sad.

Having the kids show right after a such a moody scene felt weird. Kinda ruined the somber mood it had going.

Other than that, incredible episode. Loving this anime.

Did Doctor just got slashed into two but somehow.... manages to survive by just stitching herself up?! HOLY SHIT, and she does it again with Cutthroat and his chopped legs (also his insanity should never be questioned again when he himself did that to remain in the fight)

RIP both Master and Brawler, it could go both ways honestly but the draw was a satisfying conclusion

I thought the girl executioner killed the joker look-alike and lost an eye in the process. But the preview shows he's still alive? Kind of ridiculous that the clown of the group managed to beat an executioner. People hate her, but I quite like her.

I'm also sad that Brawler and the Master Executioner died, they were both great characters and I would have liked to have seen more of them later on :( (I really loved their voices too, so I'm bummed on that as well... and the loss of two handsome, charismatic characters).

And Swindler... I wasn't expecting the slap. I was thinking she was going to thank Cutthroat for saving her twice again, and then yell at him. Like I know he's kind of crazy... but the level of dedication he had to protect her, even ditching his legs... (Also has me wondering who were the 999 people he killed?). Plus the little girl did mention they can't get hurt when they fell off of the motorcycle. But both of their reactions are understandable considering the short time frame. [The internal conflict of liking him even more when he protects her, and the morality of using a child as a shield XD ].

Doctor laughed maybe because Swindler slightly showed her true colors? And I'm glad someone mentioned she called the boy Brother, I heard it and didn't pay much mind to it, but it definitely is something to pay attention to :o

Oh yeah, and for the Pupil Executioner... before I saw the preview, I was thinking maybe Brawler would stop Hoodlum from hurting the Pupil (in his dying breath or something). Like, she was mourning, and they had fought honorably one on one with no weapons. Didn't let the imagination wonder far since they showed what happened soon afterwards.

LMAOOOO that overdramatic slap scene....... yeah a psycho murderer happens to be "despicable", what a shock huh xD
Honestly I'd even go as far as saying the bunny & shark scenes each ep are the highlight of this show

This episode really stepped everything up. There had been a few episode that felt a little jarring but the character development is getting good, the direction is gaining weight and the art is keeping up to the fantastic premise of the first episode.

Quite a lot of focus on eyes too. Swindler got similar ones as the children and the apprentice executioner. Feels like there's some genetic modification into all that imho.

Hey Swindler is she really that stupid and naive? She asked a question and gave statements like that to the Doctor and the Cutthroat...?

I had thought that this was all an act of her being an innocent girl but seriously, she clearly called him "Satsujikin-san" which obviously means he is a murderer??? It wouldn't be surprising if he used another human as a shield, right???

I really enjoy this anime but I have to turn off the sound every time she opens her mouth.

Rip Brawler, what a beast of a man he was with eyes hungry for excitement. Executioner gave up his life for what he believed was right too, respect and rip.

Best fight scene of the anime so far. If that isn't visual excellence, then I don't know what is. I'm guessing both Brawler and the Executioner guy bled out from their wounds, since I don't think trading punches alone would kill either of them.

Cutthroat getting slapped is satisfying, but he deserves a lot worse than that.
