THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The world of the Charyeok just got burst wide open, and more danger will follow ahead.

Without Judge T a.k.a Shim Bong-Sam to lead the announcements, Judge X takes precedence over the National Tournaments in the 3v3 style.

The Seoul team trio of Jin, Mira and Daewi vs. the Choongcheongbuk-do Team of Jin Pum-Gwang, Jang Jang-Mi and Na Gi-Dong. As unexpected as it is, Old Master Na-Bong Chim's acupuncture gave Jin the disadvantage, that was an early loss. Daewi's fight against the Hyung-nim captain Jin Pun-Gwang, showing his determination to go far despite his own shortcomings in life. With effort, it's 1-1 to Daewi's win.

The last fight for the ladies: Yoo Mira vs. Jang Jang-Mi in sword style. Mira's experience in learning through Judge T became the ultimatum winner for the team. Nice effort to the trio team from Choongcheongbuk-do, a team bonded in friendship and rivalry.

On Commissioner Q's side, THANK GOD he isn't dead just yet, and with the spirit attachment, he's still alive and still fighting against Nox. To encounter even more characters of Nox (Axley and Saturn with their weapons) seems like a death trap, Commissioner O coming to save him was a given, and ended in Nox's retreat.

The actions of Nox are becoming more obnoxious...and former rival Jegal Taek may just be a one-man show to face another town's team. The fight's only getting started in full brutality.

When you want the other team to win that’s when you know there’s some good writing. I felt really bad for Pum and his squad.

Ngl I thought Q was done for last week, should’ve never doubted him. This Nux group kinda gives off Index Church vibes, though. Can’t wait to learn more about them.

How the hell a person can get chewed up by a giant shark and survive I’ll never know, but the fights were awesome this week. Great episode as usual, don’t get why it’s falling in the ratings on MAL.

Nice episode. Like I figured, the commissioner wasn't really dead. They are great fighters, as shown in this episode, and one wouldn't die off screen.

The battles throughout the episode were short but well animated. The fact that people get torn apart but then appear barely hurt really bugs me. The attacker on the commissioner was stabbed through the chest, but then he is fine. The fighter at the end gets chomped on by a shark, but then is only mildly injured. It makes the supernatural attacks seem less powerful than they really are.

The trio that the main trio fights are okay. I forgot that it was a high school tournament, haha. Not sure what to think about the suggested romance of the 38 year old high-school fighter and his partner who was a regular high school student.

Mori is really funny in this episode, he lost without a fight lol, but luckily Daewi and Mira won,

For some reason, I enjoyed the fight between Commissioner Q and O against Nox, than the scene of Mori and others fighting against other teams in the Tournament.

It looks like Taek looks very strong, and doesn't hesitate to finish off his enemies

I also think the same thing with you, how can that person survive even though he has been bitten by a shark many times, and I thought his body was split in two, but it didn't, and he still alive.

beginning the team battles in the national tournament strong. Really enjoyed this episode. Not sure which of the two different battles I liked more, the commissioners against Nox or our trio against their tournament opponents. probably the former tbh since they wipped out the super powers with the Charyeok. The big fight between Commissioners Q and O against the two Nox priests l later looked so good. Animation shined there showing just how powerful these commissioners are. Not to be messed with. I'm glad that Q could honor the announcer who the crazy Nox dude killed. That was really sad and especially here when we learn that not only the announcer but his wife and kid were killed too. The crazy Charyeok power that Commissioner O used on the potty mouth priest looked so sick! Some crazy Dragon wrapping around the building! The priests did escape but surely we'll see them again.

Our trio facing their first team bout went well. I halfway expected a live three versus three with all six of them in the ring together with some tag team attacks but eh we just got a one v one match for best two of three which was cool. Mori hitting the wrong pressure points made me laugh. Not even more excited to see what he actual new strength is later. Daewi did good against his opponent that old man. The backstory they gave was sweet. You're never really done until you give up. That's a good sentiment I like it. Old man put up a good fight too. Mira did well in her match against a fellow swordswoman.

Things went about according to plan until we got to the next team match when they showed Jegal completely wreck the rich boy from last episode. Even his maid jumping in wasn't enough. Daewi this time the one who intervened instead of Mori. Kinda want to see him fight Jegal now. Excited to see what the next episode will show with the rest of this second team bout.

Jin Mori losing that fight was funny. Luckily, Daewi and Mira were able to win their fight.

"He will never give up" then falls to the next attack -_- that was very anticlimactic. Also, I thought the old dude was going to be a fighter without powers.

This episode felt more rushed than usual and the impact of the attacks could have been better, Since I also read the manwha, I feel sad about how rushed it is and how they didn't dive more into the borrowed power, The fights were great but lacked impact.

Well, this is pretty much true and what's left of this show.

The censorship was Saturn's figure of speech (if you read the webtoon then you'll know). Guess that was meant to be a joke but it didn't fit. F**k

One more week and one more episode of God of High School...

This time we had a really good fight between our main trio and pum´s trio (the animation is great) and surprisingly Old Master (From the Six group) doesn´t help Mori).

And also we have The Nux and the new that Commisioner Q has survived, so this is going to be really interesting.

Just waiting for next one!!

The battle outside the tournament is more interesting than in the tournament, not sure if it's a good decision or not, now the tournament has to surpass a higher expectation than before.

I see a lot of cool action scenes but i just dont care about them. I mean the moment Jin lost his fight, i already knew his friends would won the next two. I didnt understood a single thing about the commisioners fight, who are these people, why they have these kind of powers. How an anime that until 2 episodes ago was 90% about martial arts and 10% about super powers, has now become the opposite.

Seriously what the fuck!? the directing is all over the place, and we keep switching fights every minute, like, I can't even blink because we suddenly go towards another battle. Did they just cram 3 episodes worth of content into 1? Because this just felt rushed as hell. This is also proof that nowadays shounen can't just be balanced, because surprise, over powered powers are a thing. It's as if shounen must be all flashy and broken to be a thing. This is just a clusterfuck with no direction whatsoever. The action scenes and animation are all right, but everything else is just massively bad. And let's not talk about the god damn tonal shifts, seriously, what the fuck is wrong with Jin?

I am now legit worried about Shingeki no Kyojin's Final Season, I seriously hope they just don't rush the fuck out of it, otherwise Mappa is going to get hated by pretty much everyone.

The next few episodes of GOH are gonna be rushed since the anime is coming to an end, but i wouldn’t worry about Shingeki no Kyojin’s final season since the team of GOH isn’t doing the anime and it will be a different team, the pacing will be much better handled in Shingeki no Kyojin, same with jujutsu kaisen, these animes will be handled much better with sufficient time, it’s just that GOH was limited to 13 episodes and had to cram 112 chapters in 13, and that outcome is never perfect and isn’t going to receive nice feedback from its pacing, but overall, AOT and JJK are in good hands

I really hope so, I have hopes in JJK being good. Crunchyroll should just stop trying to promote awful webtoons adaptations, because it blows.

Can't see any problem with the episode, let alone the adaptation so far as it's doing a good job with being enjoyable as is in its own medium.

I get the pacing issues but to be frank the pace fits the material's adaptation in general. If we'll follow the webtoon's pace, we'll barely make it to the first arc with lots of expositions and etc. and that makes it boring when we all know that GoH is just as simple as it gets: wanton fights and nothing else.

If you can't see the bigger picture yet, remember how Tenjho Tenge and Air Gear were adapted.

The audience didn't act normal. They were shocked.
Also why would you need logic in an anime? Especially a battle shounen? You are just watching the wrong thing at this point. You have plenty of more realistic shows out there.

Hah I knew it! Jin's new special moves and skills are yet to be unveiled so we could get this comedy as an excuse! Despite the flashbacks I couldn't really empathize with the team of not-really-old-geezers and not-Karin (Jangmi's also forgettable so I named her so in my head, yes a Naruto reference, sorry).

I guess these battles with Nox and the commissioners will be the template for the future ones both inside and outside the GoH tournament? Hmmm...

Mira was holding back Jin so as not to have another fight intervention like last time but Daewi was the one who went into the ring. ROTFLMAO So crunchy mage/sorcerer/wizard anyone?

I feel the same way. Sometimes I have to look back and try to remember why it is they are fighting in the first place.

Such a waste of funding from Mappa's perspective. Why invest so much time and effort in a series that the original writer didn't even bother thinking about a plot? The manhwa was a mess and the anime managed to pretty much copy its essence entirely. Solid animation, everything else is pure garbage.

Not sure if at somepoint this will be explained but why the hell are this whole tournament a thing? Why High schoolers? (The only time I recall ever seeing a school in this anime was in this episode flashback)

Jesus Christ! This anime feels like it just went 100! The tournament fights are visibly tougher and more violent and the appearance of Nox has made things waaay more intense too!

That fight between O, Q, and Nox was so frickin' epic! I really like the way the tournament scenes and those fights scenes were cut together to show the contrast in the tournament fight and a real fight using Charyeok!

So idk if the guy who got chewed up by the shark was officially killed off or not when the screen cut to black at the end of the episode, but how was he not already dead after getting chewed up the first time. All that shit happened to him and he can still stand back up and launch an attack lol.

The other fights were entertaining as usual, especially the fights with the commissioners. We've seen the main trio in action time and time again so it was cool to see what the commissioners can do when they have to actually try. I still wish we would learn more about this charyeok ability though. I believe someone above already mentioned this, but how come it seems like everyone but the main trio can use charyeok? Some clarification and answers would be nice.

Also, that jackass who we thought killed Q at the end of the last episode really killed the previous announcer's wife and kid too? Just....wow.

The battle with the commissioners was pretty great, I for sure thought Q was a goner. Good to see he is alright.

So the announcer was not the only one killed? also his wife and kids, that would be too harsh, please don't let this be true!

Ofcourse, Mori would lose in a way like that, atleast Mira and Daewi gave us some nice fights to look at! These matches are only gonna become more difficult for our main trio as they don't possess any charyeok, or atleast.. not yet maybe?
