| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This part happened a little later in the series, but the anime decided to adapt this first. Kaizaki wants to take the pills that can make him 28 again, so he can go to his senpai's grave. Yoake decides to tag along. Yoake's bad at waking up. It's nice to know more about Kaizaki's past and how he quit his job. Intense episode overall  |
 |
| It seems that Arata have some "trauma" about the neck. And the episode, about how Arata learn to have more "endurance" in his mind. And yeah, those two new hires are also Yoake's doing to meet them with Arata. |

| Nicely done episode for the background on MC's previous job resignation. Still liking the anime better than the manga. |
 |
| I find Kiazaki and Yoake's relationship is somewhat interesting this episode. So Kizaki still has glimpses of his past and remembers his relationships at work. What I find about the flashbacks are the narratives and a glimpse at more depth of his personality. |
 |
| Great episode, most of the main issues have been resolved. No more romance? |
 |
| Glad that all of that is cleared up. Really good and reasonable backstory. That company is full of sick fucks, like seriously. |
| Alright, this one was a bit better. So as expected she killed herself. Their definition of "grown up" is extremely fucked up. |
| Great episode, Really liked it. Ryou is a really nice guy :) Really glad to see how Kanizaki and his senpai's actions inspired the current juniors in the company. Kanizaki's thoughts on how his life changed after he quit and their eventual outcomes was very interesting to hear. Glad to see he doesn't regret quitting :D That company is disgusting though,'Grown Up'? Bullshit |
 |
| Great episode. It reminded me of the ones who bully me at school. Useless trash. |
| Kizaki sure is a strong dude.. it takes guts for what he did... I mean seriously.... corporate world is bound to chew you up sooner or later |
 |
| Yes, back to what really matters. We get to learn about Kaizaki reason for quitting job and it gives us a look at a bad corporate culture. Really, when the episodes center around the MC, it's the most interesting to me. The ending from Chemistry really made me nostalgic. Made me feel old. >_> |
| Wow intense episode, the back story was great. It made me sick how the boss spinned her death into a story like that. An is so best girl in this anime, she is always really concerned about Kaizaki, I wonder if feelings there :O |
| [url=http://myanimelist.net/animelist/QcK_Dagger_HeaT&sclick=1][IMG] |
| Aw they didn't properly show the noose like in the manga, wtf. |
| A more in depth look at Kaizaki's past and I gotta say this was a very fulfilling episode compared to the last two. That company was toxic and I hope karma gets all of them hard. I felt pretty damn bad for Kaizaki as he's carrying one of the worst burdens any human being should endure; guilt over a death of someone they care about. It affected him so bad he can't even fully tie his tie up to his neck. Then those new hires came to pay their respect. It was nice moment for Kaizaki and that helped him to lift some of the grief and despair off his shoulders. Great episode. 5/5 |
 |
| This might've been the best episode so far. It was nice to see more of Kaizaki's backstory. No wonder he quit that job after his senpai committed suicide and all the other members of the company were such jerks. It really expanded on his character and showed what a good guy he was, as he was able to shoulder that "quit after 3 months" on his resume because he realized the company was corrupt. And meeting those two juniors from the company must've helped him realize that he was a very respectable person, as he had inspired them! |

Well, this scene hit me hard |
| Ah, so we finally got to see more of Kaizaki's past. So it was suicide after all... That made me really sad. Companies and people like that are truly disgusting. I can't believe they're not even ashamed. I swear, these guys pissed me off... Other than that, great episode. Me too DX.. |
  |
| so she did kill herself and he has ptsd from the incident and fuck those corpocate assholes |
 |
| Best episode ever. 5/5. As I've mentioned before, I love how this series tackles real-life societal and workplace pressure and politics. My older cousin in South Korea was forced to quit her company due to similar circumstances and she struggled to find employment after a while. She had to go through a lot and eventually she put up her own business and it wasn't easy but after years of working hard and dedication she owns several branches and even has put up two buildings where other small companies rent out the office space. She had a male coworker who committed suicide by drowning himself and people said it was because he had too much pressure at work. He left behind his wife and two kids in college and one kid in high school. I'm sure this also happens in places other than South Korea and Japan. I think the corporate world is much like this. |
| 臭い- |
| What... Kaizaki's place was full of sick idiots. Adults like that are the reason I don't like interacting with people in general, totally understand Kaizaki there. I'm really glad that Kaizaki got some good kohai, and that he's finally moving forward Ryou is such a good guy tho-- so dedicated The credit picture was as beautiful as always |
 |
| Wow that was a really good episode that just realistically portrays the types of people that are in society. Gee Kaizaki definitely had it rough |
| Probably my favourite episode. Kaizaki wanting a pill to become an adult again. The suicide of Saiki really impacted on Kaizaki a lot. Sad to see this was what made it hard for him to integrate back into society again. Saiki was such an awesome Sensei. Screw those bastard employees bullying her & wanting her to resign. Even the Boss was a massive asshole. Kaizaki did the right thing quitting that company. Nice to see that he was able to offer advice from personal experience to those new hires. That was a beautiful smile from Saiki. Sneaky Yoake providing some assistance. Another nice ED song. |

| Yoake is just amazing, but i'm repeating myself. Amazing help he provides for Kaizaki. His backstory is sad, he kind of lost his social skills after that. Great meeting between him and the two workers. |

Came here just to say that. That ED was foul play, seriously. |

I miss my senpai.. |

| Saiki killed herself :(! Kaizaki and Yoake are getting closer I guess, I like thier relationship. Kaizaki's past was tragic, hopefully he can get over it. |
 |
| I admire MC-kun I would do the same thing. Fuckin losers, corporats. I hate that kind of people the most, along with informers hypocrites and posers. Grow up? Grow up my ass. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Ah much better episode now. I looked up "black company in japan" and according to Wikipedia there was a real life case of a 26 year old woman who committed suicide because of work-related stress and the family successfully sued the company after 7 years. Maybe the manga was inspired from that incident? Anyway, Kaizaki was right to quit that evil company. The employees were all heartless corporate bastards. They are the ones who needs to grow up. |
| This was quite a nice episode, and perhaps, to people that have lost relatives to such unwanted act might hit closer to home; for me, luckily I haven't lost a relative to such case, but I know of one case who committed suicide caused by the pressure put from the higher ups, especially pressure put on the person to leave the company, constantly getting called to the superiors office, giving offers and threats and various other methods to make you quit the companycorporation with a paid leave, so this issue tackled here might even bear a greater significance in Asia. If you're wondering how I know of this one case that committed suicide, well, my parent went through the same pressure, worked in the same corporation as the other person that committed that act. Sadly, some people can't bear such pressure and are put in a position in which they wouldn't even think of committing such an act under normal circumstances, and people who are responsible for mental harassment should or must be held responsible. Edit; it was one case who did commit suicide, it is sad, nonetheless. |

| Lovely that they included an episode where they were grown up again! Loved that ending as well. And as expected that his senpai commit suicide :/ |
 |
| Best episode yet. It tied a lot of things together. And gave us the full background of the MC. It had character development and i was able to emotionally connect with him, damn was really sad to what happened to his senpai and all he had to go through, though I'm glad what he did inspired others . |
 |
| Damn, that was a really good episode. Kaizaki doesn't regret leaving the company anymore after meeting those kouhai. Man that company was full of dicks. |
| So she really killed herself, I was thinking that she was Chizuru, since both looks alike. |
 |
| a really madness episode imo. seriously, if i were him, i would shit on the president of the company even if it would probably risk my life. death ? i don't give a fuck. someone just died and that's the reaction. IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT FUCKING NORMAL. just what the fuck dude ? they only care about position > money. this is why i hate humans these days. which all of that problems in this episode, it leads to the topic which i really really hate so much; "Strong live, Weak die" if that was the situation in all company around the world, i'd rather died. i didn't mean i give up. is it even worth to live with that bunch of people assholes ? i don't even see merit in living/working around those kind of assholes. let's put that aside... i like this episode cause there is a big obvious improvement on Kaizaki's personality. you can see that before, in the first episode, he didn't want to tell people what was his job, but now he can tell people without any problem. i think that is a pretty big improvement for him. i really like that Yoake prepare all of that meeting for him :D although i still dissapointed that Kaizaki's supporter isn't Onoya ;_; i think it would be rather more emotional if the supporter is Onoya, moreover she has some feelings towards Kaizaki too. some religion people said that a person who commit suicide will go to hell after they die. but in that kind of situation, the situation where you can't hold everything in your heart and everything just blow up in your body or your heart and then unconsiously/consiously commit suicide cause she/he could not stand it anymore, even if people keep saying "you just need to hold it and never commit suicide" to a person in that kind of mental state, i doubt normal human could stand it unless if they asked for someone's help. the person who commit suicide killed themselve not because they wanted to. they did that cause they can't stand the society in this/that world anymore. not only they give up their life, they give up about the world where their live in too. and i don't think that is their fault for killing themselve. but it's a different case if people "intentionally" tried to kill themselve like those suicide bombs recently in real life for example. rasenshiruken973 said: Ah much better episode now.

WUT ?! that is a true story ?! japan looks interesting on the outside but fucked up in the inside i see. need to be more carefull if i planned to work at that weird country. |

| Wow Hishiro starting a conversation, slowly but surely improving her communication skill, just nice to see that. And we got to learn more about Arata's past job, damn that pretty fucked up though to saw her senpai suffer like that especially seeing her dead body after is just..... I can't help but felt disgusted just watching the real truth behind workplaces and stuff shown in this ep., great now I'm worried about my future workplace as it slowly approaches me. |
 |
| This definitely was a necessary episode, more or less shedding full light on why Kaizaki only spent 3 months at that messed up company.. I speak from experience when I say that most competitive workplaces are, in fact, exactly like that. It isn't easy to stay on and it also isn't easy to quit for fear of soiling that CV. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| There were several noteworthy events in this episode... Hishiro noticing something was odd when Kaizaki was talking with Yoake, Chizuru is not as dense as she acts... Arata's traumatic past fully revealed, Saiki his senpai suicide. Those bastards (co-workers) were only thinking of a promotion even though she had just died. The f*cking boss... I was fuming with rage and last but not least Ryou & Arata bonding more (learning from each other’s past and present experience with life)... a great episode for those who love character development. benkyou said: Those people doesn't deserve to be called human being.That company is full of sick fucks, like seriously.

 |
| That hit the feels ): Yoake is such a bro |
 |
| A great return to form for ReLife after a couple of not so great episodes. |
| And let the healing begin! It looks like Kaizaki is finally coming to terms with the trauma he experienced at his professional job. Let's hope he's able to move forward in his life now and find a career that will truly make him happy! |
 |
on 
| omg seriously, what's wrong with that company. I would never work in a place where people are bullied. But it's great to know people look up to Kaizaki, even they have no strenght to do anything. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Sad but good episode. Yoake sure did an amazing job a support. The image of the ending was hard to watch... feelz... We finally understand why Arata left his previous job in only three months. He was too much of a good person for such a crappy work environment. |
| I loved this episode! We knew why Arata left his first job and wow... good job Arata-kun! They were all bastards, what a bunch of shit in the same work environment. Yoake is just the god, helping him to move forward !! |
| Ah, so I was wrong with my thinking that Chizuru was his boss.. but I guess it's better this way... Well, but this manga is something, it criticizes japanese society, similiarly how Higashi no Eden did. This episode was really interesting in a way to show us his past. And I'm glad his trauma is finally over, that scene where Saiki smiled in his mind for the first time just told us everything. Well, but now I'm thinking if there will be any satisfying end to this.. as it would be nice if this series concluded well but the manga is still going and they are only on their summer break. So it will most likely conclude with open-ending which is shame a bit. Anyway, it's nice how Kaizaki is being saved by Yoake the same as Yoake is being saved by Kaizaki. Really like character interactions here. |
