| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Dang, I like the music used for this episode. It made the atmosphere more thrilling in particular when the Monkey is facing off against Usagi. It didn't surprise me that she couldn't beat him. I think she lacks bloodlust when compared to someone like Usagi. The storytelling aout Uuma was tough to watch. The amount of pain and training he had to endure to become what he is now.. |

DKBetiza said: Same here :( I'm actually kinda triggered now lolDamn, I'm really sad for Monkey. She was my favorite. What makes me sadder is instead of resting in peace she will become a reanimated corpse for Rabbit. Horse's story was pretty interesting but seeing the way he went out has to suck....After all that planning and defensive building, he dies via suffocation Also, Oji-san got REKT so quickly lol....I did not expect that at all xD |
| Damn, three deaths, that was to be expected though. RIP Monkey, I dislike rabbit, he's boring as a character and just awkward as hell at the moment, I just want more dialogue with him and less of his creepy stares. Sheep's face when Tiger was like "kills in a drunken rage." That is when he knew he fucked up. |

| Monkey died first, then Sheep and then Horse. Monkey and Sheep underestimated their opponent and got killed for it. Idiots. Sheep was very surprised by Tiger's attack. Got to see a flashback for Horse. He was willing to do anything to get stronger. Dying by suffocation sucks. Rabbit is OP. |
 |
| RIP Monkey. I liked her character. The way sheep got wrecked had me laughing. He underestimated the Drunken Master. |
 |
| Boi,can't believe that Sheep was that careless,especially after he was introduced as a veteran, what a joke.... Monkeys death came also unexpected. Uumas backstory was quite cool,but what a shitty death he had to die :/ |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| TRIPLE KILL Every death this episode was due to a careless mistake: Monkey forgot about the head and underestimated her opponent, Sheep severely underestimated his opponent, and Horse didn't leave himself an escape route. Just goes to show how even the simplest error in judgement can be fatal in something like this. Hmm... so it would seem Nezumi's ability is actually some sort of infiltration ability that can get him in and out unnoticed, even into/out of a heavily secured vault with no openings large enough for the oxygen inside to replenish when the area all around it is burning. Well, my theory that he was extremely numerous seems to be out (not that it ever really had much support in the first place...). EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS! |
| "EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS!" "PLUS ULTRA!" |
| Rat or Rabbit for the win at this point. I'm really liking Rat's character design, how he thinks and how his power is still a mystery up to this point. I feel like there's foreshadowing somewhere for sure (how he wants to know about Sheep's whereabouts for example). Rabbit is just entertaining and is someone who we wouldn't think of as the winner since he had a great start. Ox is too obvious and would be disappointing if he wins (i like him as character though). Don't like Tiger though, no win pls. Snake and Dragon are definitely not gonna win IMO. |
| Not sure if Horse died, so waiting for the next ep. To see if he is actually dead. He may survive twice lol. BTW now i'm thinking that Rat is the mastermind |
| I had a feeling that multiple deaths in an episode is coming and there you have it. And the order in which the character dies may still be following the ED (reverse order of the junishi). But the twist may still come now that we're about to see the 2-part episodes about the twin brothers. So we'll finally get to see the Dragon again. If anyone noticed, they are starting to drop clues on Rat's ability. I am starting to like this boy's way of thinking. |
| Whoa Tiger killing Sheep was pretty cool, same with Rabbit killing Monkey, even though I liked her and wanted to see how her plan played out, I thought she would live a bit longer... Also the mystery around Rat and what he is capable of remains |
 |
| Yup, the death sure is following the ED, the only groundbreaking thing they had done was post-poning their death till now lel Still entertaining af tho |
 |
| God damn fuck the rabbit hoe IM DONE HE BETTER NEXT Oh also I find tigers voice really cute omggg |

sosmetal said: Its getting rather anticlimactic. The game and tactics is more intriguing than most of the characters and fights. Rat is the mastermind and Ox is the fighting genius. The end game hopefully will be more interesting than what we've seen so far. Although it seems to point to a predictable ending. Also I've yet to see Dragon, my own Zodiac. It's getting harder to stay invested but I suppose its good entertainment and I shouldn't expect much more. Everybody clap your hands! Wasn't the dragon the one who was killed off first? Or was that snake, because those two were the twins |

| Damn, Nisio Isin has no mercy. After two chapters without deaths, we got not one, not two, but three, and a couple of them were pretty surprising, like Monkey and Sheep. It looks like Rabbit might be more than just a lunatic. That head placement on the tree to act as a sentry shows that he has some brains inside that crazy head of his, and that all the bodies he controls share intel with him. Honestly, with Monkey (and possibly Ox) as his new puppets, I'd say he is the most dangerous fighter right now. Also, Tiger is quite the quick fighter, but if she stays this drunk she might not last much longer, and I'm curious to see what Rat does. Judging by his "conversation" with Ox, his power might have something to do with mind reading. The characters are nothing to write home about, since they don't have much room for development, but this series manages to keep the interest of the viewer by throwing a lot of curve balls. I'll be looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| So, deaths are indeed following the reverse Chinese Zodiac order, and this was a multideath episode after all. Oh, well. Sad for Monkey (her death was very sudden, thought I admit Rabbit is a clever bastard) and Sheep's demise was disappointing, even when it was obvious he was going to die. The one who got the short stick was however Horse, he wasn't even killed, he just died suffocated in his own barricade without being able to do nothing, all that training and those experiments went to waste. Anyway, he was voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa, and that combined with NisiOisiN's writing doesn't tends to end well. I wonder if Rat did that on purpose to get rid of another participant now that Monkey died, who wouldn't surprise me. Next episode Snake (or his corpse at least) will be destroyed (I wonder if we will have flashbacks of him being alive), and the next one, it will be Dragon the one who will die. And, speaking of him, he hasn't appeared since the episode 2 or something, wonder what he is doing at the moment. |

| if Horse listened to Rats advice immediately, he could probably survive, which makes it look like Rat is trying more to help others rather than kill them. still, it could be some mindgame, idk also I hoped from the beginning that Monkey prepared even some plans involving her dying but her character depiction didnt point in that direction:/ well I can hope |
| Monkey's death was quite predictable, this is disappointing :( whew, Sheep was killed swiftly xD Tiger looks promising but I'm sure she'll be killed off pretty quickly. also this x10000 |
Jared93 said: Dammit, after two episodes of no one dying the 3 fightes died in the right order. You just have to watch the ending or look for the chinise zodiac. Next episode we get rid of the Snakes body and the next death is the Dragon. I really hoped this series doesnt go in that order, but now its pretty much set in stone. Rats gonna win. I liked the monkey and the sheep. But now its useless to get invested in any other character than the Rat. :/ More like the focus rather than the death yet. You can't bet on Snake so I guess he is really supposed to be dead. Dotsuku also died before "Boar's corpse". Or should we consider Snake as "alive"? Still wondering if Rat is a space/time user. |
TheWannabeArtist said: RIP Monkey, I honestly hate Rabbit so much, he's boring as a character and just awkward as hell. We have yet to see his back story. On the contrary, him being the most ridiculous out of the warriors make him the most interesting and the backstory I'm most curious. Jared93 said: I really hoped this series doesnt go in that order, but now its pretty much set in stone. I think it's not set in stone yet. (the show wants you to think so though) At least I hope not :/ it'd be a bummer if the death order already been spoiled since day 1. - So, triple deaths! Welp. Double but triple? Not expecting that. - Once again I had to clap my hands *cough* for the glorious ost - Snake's head is pretty creepy - A bit anticlimatic how Monkey was dead though. I mean, the first half of the anime focused so much on her and she's just gone now - Sheep death is also pretty quick oh well - Horse's backstory was tough and his death was lame... in the end he turned out to be not that interesting - I wonder when the story would break the death order pattern... - Rat is definitely pretty suspicious. I'm still going strong with him somehow hiding something and was actually a previous winner or something - Next ep is tatsumi brothers! I find them really interesting and I really love their design! - Looks like we gonna get some flashback to how Snake was killed! - Looking forward to more rabbit next episode! - Everybody clap your hands! |

| Monkey really just up and died, making an amateur mistake of underestimating her opponent, huh? So anticlimactic. Though I have just a tiny bit of hope that she's got super regeneration or something and isn't really dead, and her plan involved dying. Ox is the obvious favorite, but a little too obvious to actually survive and win this thing regardless of his insane power. So me personal favorite is Rat who is something of a dark horse: he didn't really do anything yet, but he's successfully surviving, he looks sleepy yet possesses enough agility to dodge all the attacks coming his way, and everybody finds him sort of familiar only they can't quite remember who he is. All points to him having some broken ability and actually being the strongest when he shakes off his sleepiness and goes into serious mode. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| Well rip saru, that was bound to happen at some point; but Usagi is a bit too op. Rip old man too, that was fast lol. So the double backstory was just to prepare us for a double takeout today. I was hoping they would break the curse of backstory->death, guess not. I think rat is hiding his true colors. |
| Interesting backstory of Uuma. How he built up his body was savage. Unfortunately for him, it doesn't help against suffocating. How Nezumi appeared and disappeared in his hideout was quite creepy. I'm glad, that Sheep is finally dead. He underestimated his opponent and had no chance of winning either way. Sharyu was too careless too. |

CG said: Monkey really just up and died, making an amateur mistake of underestimating her opponent, huh?. This has happened for every death so far except horse I guess; the quick flashback of his past was just the same though. They have their extended inner monologue of how the fight will go, and then surprise you're dead. I really hope they change this up because its been way too predictable in the cues they give. |
| 3 deaths in a row (Monkey, Sheep, Horse) Monkey was caught by surprise like Boar damn Sheep does not know about Drunken Fist power of Tigerr and Horse got suffocated |
| Horse's death was such a waste. But guess it was a "weak mind in the wrong body" thing. Or is that otherwise, I dont know |
-Grapeboy- said: staranise said: What clues and what exactly do you think is his ability then?I had a feeling that multiple deaths in an episode is coming and there you have it. And the order in which the character dies may still be following the ED (reverse order of the junishi). But the twist may still come now that we're about to see the 2-part episodes about the twin brothers. So we'll finally get to see the Dragon again. If anyone noticed, they are starting to drop clues on Rat's ability. I am starting to like this boy's way of thinking. I'll go with what @Daniel_Naumov said that Rat being a telepath would be really basic so something else will be revealed until the end. Which means we will have to wait until an episode is focused on Rat bbbuuuuut that may not come in a while. About the clue, it's rather indirect. He was playing a game on his phone where his iconic image, the rat, is running around in what seems like a maze and at the end of his conversation with Horse, the rat gets caught by a snake in the game so he turns it off and leaves the temporary hiding place (and warns Horse that Snake might come to that place since he's after Rat and that Horse should leave). If you're playing a game like that and your character dies, what do you do? That's a bit of a stretch but I can't explain it any further without giving spoilers. Again, this may be an indirect or more like an abstract clue so it doesn't mean his ability has anything to do with video or phone games. |
| Well sucks to say that Monkey ended kicking the can along with the old man and horse. Was really thinking Monkey and Horse were gonna be the last ones along with Bunny but looks like I was wrong. Things are gonna get more intense now that its only Tiger, Ox and Rat and Bunny. |
 |
| Dang, I love this show. This is probably my favourite anime from the season, and it won't change. I will admit, it's predictable. Even though it is, I can't help but really hate waiting for Tuesdays to watch this, because it's 7 whole days after I finish the episode. Too bad three deaths came out, since I liked the Monkey a lot. The sheep's death was very easy to guess, because he ranked the Tiger at the bottom of the list, and had to be killed by her, similarly to how Dog died by the Chicken. |
| I feel like rage quitting. The way monkey died makes no sense to me. She may be a pacifist but I doubt she is an idiot. Only an idiot would think you can negociate with someone like rabbit. With rat, Ox or Horse maybe. Even with dog would have been possibility but you cannot reason with crazy people. This is promising to be a really bad show. |
| Triple kill. Wow. Didn't see that coming. I'm int he minority here, but I'm happy that Monkey is out. Her character felt completely out of place in a battle royale like this one. What kind of a fool negotiates with a mindless psycho like rabbit? |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Well after 2 episodes of no deaths, we get 3 in this episode alone, all of them still following the reverse Zodiac order. I'm sad that Monkey is gone, she was one of the more interesting participants (to me) so I hoped she would have lasted longer. Sheep's death was pretty pathetic tbh, as he severely underestimated his opponent. I didn't really care for Horse's death either, I knew he didn't stand a chance. Rat continues to be a mystery that is difficult to figure out, but if I had to guess, it looks like he might have some sort of mind reading power and/or telepathy, as well as some kind of ability to teleport or something. |
| 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. |
| I'm really sad the monkey died she seemed capable of winning against the rabbit at first looks like the next episode gonna be interesting since we might finally get to see the dragon, I wonder where he is hiding |
| Oh boy, a character I thought would be wrapped in plot armor actually was not. Shame her death was not particularly exciting but since she was a pretty cool character, it was not meaningless. Overall a pretty fun episode. |
Suddenly, someone slaps you with a brick wall. |
| Wow did not expect that from Sheep, should have been smarter…even though he was pretty smart. RIP Monkey did not expect it, I was curious about her peace plans |
 |
| "Killing in drunken rage", huh :p Did not see that coming. Loved that episode, my favorite so far! Rat is pretty cool and interesting. |
  I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
