| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh boy, the death game that pits once again does its characters with its style. I feel like this episode has more psychology than the previous episode though. Rooster girl Niwatori gets a lot of screen time this week. For some reason, I kinda like that Dotsuku guy. He seems calculating and seems like an intelligent character. Not sure how I feel about the the monkey girl and rat guy yet though. The woman from the previous episode isn't in a good condition as before anymore. Too bad about the dog guy though... ED theme song is kinda catchy. |

| Well it's 100% confirmed now....Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh RIP Boar, even though what you did to your sister was fucked up, I still fucked with you heavy As for the episode, we got to see more of the others characters as well as a glimpse into how some of them think which was nice to see....Also, I was kinda surprised to see that other people were thinking of getting in alliances too But man, Dog fucked up big time lol, the second I saw Chicken (My sign lol) find him, I knew that someway somehow she was going to end this man....You can't be cocky in this series dude, if you are you're screwed xDD Good episode overall though, and I'm very curious to see what Chicken is gonna do with all this amped up power as well as to see what will come from the Ox (I'm impressed with him and Monkey most of all) and Horse confrontation And I feel like Rat is gonna lowkey win this entire thing lol |
| Wow that was fucking disappointing. First Boar, now Dog, do they seriously plan on killing the characters in shitty ways like these two? |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| So far no real fighting. Disappointed about dog man. |
| lol Chicken killed Dog. I knew that was going to happen. He shouldn't have gave her that power up. I kinda liked him though. It's a shame he's dead. Maybe. I wonder what Chicken is going to do now. |
 |
| Lol,it was so obvious that Niwatori would kill off Dog. Episode was rather slow and focussing on tactics and build up. Looking forward to see Niwatoris special move. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Was allright, but as already said let's see what happens to chicken. Sounds like she'll die according to the next episodes title, but who knows. Spoiler tag contains no spoiler to the show, it's a related image to this episode. |

| Yes Niwatori, was so happy when that happened but the title of the next episode suggests |
 |
| Talking about anticlimactic death >_> FMmatron said: Lol,it was so obvious that Niwatori would kill off Dog. I know right? |
| The opening is fucking good, Again a good episode, I think the real game will begin from the next episode. This really looks promising. I think 3 more warriors will be killed in a "dissatisfied" way, Snake, horse and chicken. The remaining ones will be the main fighters. It seems like a good 9/10 SHOW IF there is no preaching like some other death game/battle Royal shows. This is the show I was looking for. CLAP YOUR HANDS!! |
| Chicken was pretty suspicious the whole time. She wouldn't be in the game in the first place if she were as stupid as she pretended to be in front of Dog. Idk how he didn't catch on to that. And I really hope Rabbit dies soon so I don't have to look at that awful design anymore. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| ok that was something you never know who is going to be killed.... there were 12 now 9 are left |
 |
| The show is honestly way too predictable at the moment, they are just killing whoever we follow during the episode. |

Rabbit will probably be in the last 4, along with ox, monkey and rat I guess. I actually like the character design of all the warriors. |
| Boar is dead :( But chicken is great :) (if chiken dies in the next ep because the order of the zodiacas I will get fucking pissed up ) This ep was great this may be my aots but it is getting kinda predictable (even tho the way they die with isn't ) I am waiting for some unpredictable twist |

| Chicken kill a dog , LOL I hope ox and horse will team up , horse seems like nice guy |
| BRAWLERS |

| It was obvious Dog was going to die. Like Boar, he was too overconfident and Chicken seemed too stupid for someone who was participating in a battle royale, it was obvious she wasn't going to be that dumb. She probably knew about his abilities and was waiting the moment he would dope her to finish him. Overall it's a pity, since Dog seemed like a badass. Also, Ox is receiving a lot of hype, I'm before someone defeats him off-screen and later that character appears telling the viewers how awesome the fight was. I think the same. The title doesn't helps either. Kinda sad, |

| That's when the Dog knew he messed up big time!!! What an idiot to get the tables turned on him.

No miracles, I guess? And Rat's definitely gonna end up a big time winner for sure. (Afterall its my sign)XD |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Lmao Dotsuku had it coming, he was looking down way too much at Niwatori. I was beginning to root for Niwatori but I think she will be down soon. I have a feeling it's going to be rabbit vs mouse at the end for some reason. Monkey seems OP as well but will probaby die third last or 4th. There's Ox as well. Others seem like fodder. I still have my hopes for Chicken but let's see. The episode titles seem faithful at hinting who dies so far, but I wonder if we really should trust them too much. |

| well that was a good episode, I liked how they were giving screen time and expanded the "world building" towards the characters in order to know how they think and how they act. Even if Dog's death was predictable, we all know eventually most of them are going to die... I believe that the gullible ones are going to die first and then we might have good battles in the end (hopefully) |

| Ox had been hyped to be a very strong warrior but if the combat power is determined by the rankings of the Chinese zodiac, then Rat might be the strongest among all. |

Absolutely agree with you about the preaching part. If they try to get cheap sympathy or pull some moral lesson out of their ass with some long winded bullshit, it's going to kill the vibe of the show. I'm loving how ruthless these fighters are. Surprisingly enough I did enjoy that backstory for Boar though, and backstories/flashbacks are usually where these shows fuck up big time. It felt like it was serving to show how powerful and badass she was rather than to get the viewer to sympathize with her. Killing her off right away was like a sick joke, but in a good way. |

| Narrator again offed in the same episode. If this is a trend, i'll be somewhat disappointed. But holy shit, that was crazy how Chicken did that. I can't tell if she did that intentionally or not. Horse is great, he seems too nice for this type of killing game and now Ox is on his shit! Still betting on Rat to win the game after two episodes. |
| this episode was make-or-break time since i couldn't decide from episode 1 if this was worth sticking with or not. but this episode was good. not great, but pretty good. i really don't want chicken to die :( so i'm hoping that the preview is trollbait and we'll actually get a twist where ox calms her down or whatever and makes her his ally |
| It's not often you find a show where the exposition isn't boring as hell. Rather enjoying this. |
| Well i was hoping Boar wasn't actually killed and turned into a mindless zombie but i guess that would defeat the purpose of a show where everyone is trying to kill each other. No room for fakeout deaths here. No action this time around but there was a lot of strategy and planning involved, particularly with Dog. He seemed really cool so it sucks to see him die so early. Chicken certainly caught him off guard, so i guess that's his own fault for arrogantly assuming everything would go according to plan. Hopefully the remaining deaths aren't as lame as Boar's and Dog's. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
Paul said: It's not often you find a show where the exposition isn't boring as hell. Rather enjoying this. Yup. This show does it really well, mixing exposition with onscreen action very well. It also helps that the characters are not talking in monotone all the time. very enjoyable watch. |

| The moment Dog started acting all cocky I knew he was going to die. Guess the rule of this show is whoever acts too confident dies. And the way Niwatori killed him off, acting all innocently had me laughing. The horse seems like a nice guy and I don't want Ox to kill him. |
 |
| Maybe Chicken was faking her cluelessness? |
| I was waiting for Chicken's betrayal but I didn't expect the dog to be so stupid xD.........Niwatori is adorable (at least for now). |

| lol the Dog died fast too from a weak Chicken, looks like each episode there will be at least 1 death its nice of them to reveal the ability of the dead Boar though and it was no-reload |
| So boar girl really did die. Next the dog. Seems like the moment u get a flashback of their past they die. If it happens like that again it really will be the tell-tale sign. But yo why did the dog really underestimate the Chicken like that? C'mon, be more on guard. That was just sad. Tiger is gonna die quick too, going for liquor? Seriously? And the dragon, cuz he's too cocky. Same with grandpa sheep. I think rat will stick around long. You'd think the monkey would too but then if they wanna go for shock factor she'll die quick too. derprume said: I am still banking on the cat coming in and killing everyone Right? Kyo's on his way xD |
| aw man, I liked Dog a lot. Rooting for him :( And I don't want Horse to die, I really hope doesnt die :( |
Rukodaime said: It was already revealed at the end of the first episode. When Boar is facing Rabit and she is visualizing the fight, she says : "Bluff, pretending I'm out of bullets. He presses in for the kill. I use the infinite fire of non-reload to finish him". ah i forgot about that then |
