Damn, that was a thing of beauty, a rather brutal bloody beauty.

Loved the bits of action especially in the last few episodes. "Kill"? I think it's like kill or be killed. But if you face against Nicholas, it's like a death wish. Loved the way the OSt is done as well with characterization. Gangsta continuously shows itself as one of the best series of the season.

This show has a lot of good stuff going on, but every episode just feels so lifeless, and this one was no exception. Still, the content is good enough on its own, but some energy could make this so much better.

I thought Worick was only good at fighting. Didn't quite figure him to have such an incredible memory. Wonder if that has some sort of drawbacks on him.
Nice to see bits of his recollection as a kid with Nicolas. Looks like they didn't exactly have a pleasant past.

That short Twilight guy sure is something. Well, considering he holds the same tag as Nic (A/0), the mass slaughtering was hardly a surprise. Pretty hyped for the blade-battle between them next week.

Decent episode. Alex seems to be going through some traumatic experience. Barry's sudden bloody appearance was a bit disturbing though.

Wow, I do not like that cliffhanger. I was so hyped.

Gonna be interesting to see how the battle plays out, though. I can't lie, that kid's a beast, but my money's on Nic.

I don't know what it is but something is lacking this episode. Maybe the fact half of it is a flashback and while it wasn't sloppy, it wasn't really perfect either. I'm still interested but regardless, I didn't get hit like last week's episode.

Overall, 6/10

But, this might be a build up to something greater, so next episode might be an all out thriller.

Damn! Got the chillz at the end of the ep. Friggin EPIC!!

Doug vs Nic build up was awesome! Nic's grin is so damn CRAZY BA :D

Nice to see some parts of Nic and Worrick's flashbacks. I guess Nic killed Worrick's dad because he was an asshole? Worrick's memory is insane :O

I liked how they added some explanation to the Celebre and Twilights during his classes.
Nic and Worrick's beginning of friendship was really sweet. Hit him in the face just to see him smiling like that :)

Danny is one hell of a guy XD

I feel bad for Alex still hallucinating :(

I am HYPE!!

By far the best episode, i was thrilled with this. This is really good storytelling right here with the bits of their past. Seems like Worick and Nicholas had it rough in the past.

That dreadlock guy is quite dangerous, he has the same dogtag rating than Nicholas. Also that head slice was great. D:

It was mentioned that the lifespan of Twilights are shorter. I'm worried for Nic.

This was a good episode. We all know Nic is gonna slay that kid, but I'm still excited for their fight next week. And it was nice to see a little more of Worick's past with Nic. Also, I felt bad for Alex when she was hallucinating
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

I don't know what a Twilight is, can't remember if there was any explanation. Was there any? Or it just wasn't explained yet?
Amazing OST when Nico attacked that kid. As said before, Gangsta is one of the very best animes of the season.
I want to know more about the boys' past. Seems like a good story.

That cliffhanger was so fucking evil :( I want the next episode NOW

I'm really loving the characterization that our main cast is getting, Alex having psychological trauma about her pimp and fearing for her life caught me by surprise but what really shocked me is what Worrick did

Him being able to memorize anything is pretty badass but the way his eyes like glowed makes me feel like he has some special ability or something O_O I really enjoyed the flashbacks about he and Nicholas' pasts as well as the explanation behind this whole Twilight thing

Last but not least, the uncensored action bits were too great.....10/10 for that alone....This kid A/O is pretty freaking Impressive as well as Mr Munroe and that while haired guy so I'm beyond hype to see the big showdown next week

My money is on big man Nicholas =P

Awesome episode. So psyched for next episode. And their pasts are really interesting. I liked it a lot. I want more of that along with the fight. I'm betting on Nic because plot armor and badass-ness, but it would be interesting if the short guy wins (those pills he took could do something).

And I don't think he's a kid. They said it and in one of Worick's lessons they mentioned that the Twilights tend to have mental and/ or physical disabilities. I'm assuming that gets worse the stronger you are. So Nic is deaf and the shortie is a midget, I think. Only speculation though.

Delico could be prove to be interesting. I'm curious about him. Now there's just the girl in the car from the OP that I don't think has been introduced yet.

Poor Alex. I hope she stays with them. She's not too bad.

Again, 10/10

$100 for Nic (that's all I've got on me...)

I doubt the other A/0 will die, probably just flee and they'll clash again later. That's how it usually goes with anime.

I would go and explain it for you but i'm pretty sure it will be well explained soon. The past few episodes have been slowly showing all the characters and their jobs. Just know for now, that Twilights are like over-powered soldiers.

Hopefully the six manga volumes arrives at my house before the next episode. I really wanna binge-read it. Anyway! This was a great episode.

I love that Alex has trauma from her experience with Barry - not because of what she must've gone through and the damage it has done to her, but it shows that she hasn't been able to get over it in a blink of an eye. She has PTSD and from the parts we can discern from that scene, she's been through a lot. Given her prior circumstances, this is pretty freaking believable.

Also, I'm really intrigued about Nic and Worrick's past. Just what exactly have those two been through? Also, Worrick's memory is insane. And what exactly are Twilights? Man I can't wait to find out. But I wish this anime was more than twelve episodes long.

I especially liked the voice acting of young Nicolas, Delico and Doug and talking about Doug he's so badass that was an epic first appearance, and the flash back was amazing such an interesting past.. Alex is having a hard time over there too and the battle is at its finest.. damn that's exciting af
