| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, it feels like the stake just went over the roof this episode. Hototo's rage is understandable though imo. He's a kid with that anger built inside of him since the incident and it was only a matter of time before he explodes in rage. It's too bad some characters in this show are so heartless though. The otherwise, gun vs sword duel imo was dope. |
 |
| Damn, Kosame was such a badass in today's episode. Though we'd be having Gil this week, but we only saw him at the end, but I'm already concerned. |
| Kosame finaly unlocking his ultra instinct. |
| Easily best episode of the series so far. Gained a tremendous amount of respect for kosame today. I liked how his PTSD from his mother’s death was portrayed and how he ultimately overcame it to save his friends. Really nice mini arc for him. 10/10. |
 |
| This anime took a while to get going but damn! Every week is just getting better and better! Kosame was so cool, especially when he cut the bullet! That was a nice moment between him and Hototo too. I guessed a few weeks ago that the 'timid' guy was Gil... you don't get scars on your face like that if your a good boy & no one seems to know anything about him. |
 |
| Kosame finally awakened his haki |
 |
| Mostly Gun Frontier stuff and Kosame pulled some Goemon (from Lupin III) like skills. |
| Oh already a couple of racers have been killed, I's thinking that Gil the snake could be Richard, cu'z it was kinda odd that he was left alive with a minor gash on his forehead. For all we know those cowboy bandits may have been Richard's men that they don't know Oh Kosame, if you don't have any guts to use your katana, then maybe you could have used your karate or whatever hand to hand combat that you bullshitdo's used. |
| I love this show so much. Seeing Appare developing feelings, trust and love for his friends is nice. Kosame got his awesome spotlight this episode. I look forward to each episode! |

| This show just keeps getting better, I love it so much. It's good to finally see Kosame be a badass. He's probably my favorite character and I was just waiting to see him actually use those swords of his. Though I find it weird that he carries two swords if he's an Ittoryu (one sword) master, is the second one just a backup? Richard being Gil was pretty obvious. He was intentionally kept hidden and downplayed for a while, debuted late, and he's voiced by a seiyuu known for playing villains. Also the posters and promo art on the official website spoiled this lmao. I look forward to seeing him in action after he abandons the nice guy persona. The preview for the next episode left me interested. I'm a sucker for these slower paced episodes where the characters are just free to interact and play off of each other. I'm expecting to see more of TJ and the Bad Brothers. |
Clarexaizabela said: Gil didn't dye his hair, he just styled it differently. Both Gil and "Richard" have silver hair.Although we had that reveal at the end of the episode, I may be trying to be blind when it comes to this, but I still don't get why Richard could be Gil because of: First: The hair is different (I don't think you could dye your hair and the natural color come back so fast, especially taking in mind the show is placed on 19th to 20th century, so highly doubt that) Second: Why Richard would dress/dye his hair only for that meeting? It would be pointless. I may not be paying attention to the details, but still... |
| Did that shotgun just inexplicably fire a pistol round instead of pellets so that Kosame could cleave it in half? Guess it could've been a deer slug but it didn't really look like one Well that bit of questionable logic aside, a pretty good episode otherwise |
  |
| It lacked a bit of blood to satisfy me but at least the final blow spilled some blood (I regret the previous kills didn't). Kosame faced his own past and probably crossed an important gap on his redemption/recovery. Also, someone mentioned on the previous episode's thread that Richard should be Gil : perhaps he really is ! |

You can even see the lever-action reload at 19:12 when the bad guy picks it up right before the last clash with Kosame. By no means I'm a weapons nerd, it's just that those are a staple of westerns. I'd say that it passes the historical accuracy test ;) (we have a steam hybrid wooden boat-car, better attack that first LOL) Anyway, a great episode! Kosame finally broke out of his emotional cage by facing his childhood trauma to save his friends, displaying a fantastic swordsmanship. I won't complain about the kill. It's a gritty story in the Wild West, and katanas... ARE WEAPONS, FFS! The bad guy was truly wicked and ruthless; you can't spare a man like that, otherwise he'd come back later and cause a tragedy. |

| Pretty great episode! From the very start, some competitors said that this race was dangerous and it could get you killed. Well this episode was a perfect example of that. Some competitors were killed, by Gil's henchmen. Kosame still suffering from his trauma, finally been able to tell Hototo that he's not the only one who lost a parent killed by others. Atleast Hototo looks at Kosame in a different light now. Not much racing this episode, which I am a little disappointed with. But I liked the overall development we got. |
 |
| Kosame was badass this episode. That whole fight scene was awesome. |

| Was kinda hoping the Gil subplot would be over this episode but then granny went and brought up their leader. Of course the sketchy guy who was being all nice that we met a few eps ago is actually Gil. The whole Samurai dodging bullets by predicting where they will fire is a little much for my non fantasy/sci-fi/supernatural anime... |
| What an episode! It was time for Kosame to overcome his past, what a great episode that this was, Kosame was so badass! And that scene with Hototo, so great! I do wonder if the race will end this season, or this is just a part of the race. Doesn't seem like Appare will be able to upgrade the car any time soon. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| you have my respect Kosame! so BADASS! 5/5! |
 |
| Kosame was cool and that's about it. Everything else was cliche. Also Richard is Gil after all? Or is Gil Richard's twin brother? |
 |
| This episode was beyond ridiculous. lol that fight scene. And the ending was predictable. At least they finally "revealed" it. |
| Awesome moves by Kosame and for Appare for having faith in him. |
 |
| Kosame trying to ride Appare's vehicle is just hilarious, and in the nick of time, Appare got dozed up to catch up. But the presence of cars and the competitior drivers being killed, most likely Gil's henchmen, and Hototo's time of revenge against the REAL Gil the Snake. Suddenly this isn't a race anymore, it's a massacre with Richard still alive. And for the eagle-eyed, YES HE IS, under the Richard Reeseman alias. Going to a nearby town to spread word seemed like a good idea, but it ends up being a trap from Gil's henchmen, kidanpping everyone else but the coward Kosame instead, whom like Hototo has encountered death at first sight when he was a kid. Well, no matter, time to face your past and overcome it! Kosame's redemption totally felt like the Wild Wild West face-off, he ain't a Samurai for nothing. Appare placing trust in Kosame is just a ballsy move, but it was a trust like no other. With all the action this episode, it's time for a short break next episode. |
 |
Hey i found the real ending of Kosame vs bandits fight! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Hooray~ Kosame finally showing what he's made of! “Fury Eternal Wary Moon!” I do hope Kosame killed those Bandits or at least the last one standing otherwise we are destined to meet again. >.> I wished we got a bit more info on those bandits after Kosame took them out Also, now we know what kind of car Appare made. I expected a bit more rocket science to ultimately win the race but oh well I hope this Hybrid will prove me wrong. |
 |
| Damn Kosame how can you cut a bullet lol... The power system is crazy |
 |
| This was certainly an episode focused on Kosame and coming to terms with the trauma of his past. His trauma struck at the worst timing as he became helpless in his attempt to save Appare, Hototo, Xialian and Al from the bandits. Thankfully, the bar lady took pity in him and was kind enough to listen to his story, in full, as to how his mother was killed by a rogue samurai. With some words of encouragement and some training to vent his anger, Kosame went off to save his friends and bloody hell did he deliver on that front! His strikes were accurate and impressive. Not just that, but the way she sliced that bullet in half was beautiful, which was followed by his 5-hit finisher, the "Fury Eternal Wary Moon". As a bonus, he was finally able to tell Hototo about his traumatic past, so now Hototo knows that Kosame has been through the same hell as him. You can tell that he respects Kosame a lot more now. It seems like Richard really is Gil, as his new look at the end be rather intimidating. Either way, Gil can wait, as the next episode is going to be a well-deserved break for our racers. =) |
| Kosame finally hears the words he needed to hear to get past his trauma, and boy Kosame is strong as hell. We have been waiting to see Kosame's true strength and that's probably not his full strength yet cause he rekt them. This show just consistently gets better, shame it's so underrated. |
 |
| There's no wrong or right. Only actions and consequences. I'll take that quote for life, Kosame's badass moment finally came! But I must say, although I'm enjoying this anime, I miss the racing part. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| If only it took a few words to get over childhood trauma! Kosame took a big leap. Maybe now I'll start liking Hototo. Glad they didn't drag out the reveal at the end, especially since most of us had guessed it anyway. |
| If this anime wasn't light hearted bandits would definitely violate and rape Xialan instead of trying to hang her like rest. |
 |
| Richard being Gil was so predictable, never trust the ones that appear too nice. |
| 臭い- |
| i knew it! you can never trust a white haired dude 😂 |
| THERE HE GOOOOOOO KOSAME WAS BEAUTIFUL. Oh I was waiting for that, and it was everything I wanted it to be. Everything I hoped it would be... minus the shotgun shooting what appeared to be a pistol bullet BUT HE SLICED IT IN HALF. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
Nieznajomy43 said: lol you are right, I was thinking that it looks suspiciously similar to something but the thing what was misleading me is the fact that they give this gun two barrels. xD Oh, but the lower one is not a barrel but a "magazine tube", for the bullets. You've probably seen a pump action shotgun, right? Those look like they have 2 barrels too, but the bottom tube with the pump is were the shells are kept. It's a similar design to these Winchesters I mentioned. |

| was nice to see Kosame's story finally and see his redemption, but this ep was so silly to be taken seriously lmao. I swear the aim on those guys makes those soldiers in that Fairy Gone episode look like pro marksman xdd CeddyyBearr said: Not much racing this episode, which I am a little disappointed with. But I liked the overall development we got. agreed, kinda sucks these last few eps haven't really been much racing to be completely honest |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
Ohh, they didn't close the pipe! I hadn't noticed ha! Lazy drawers, not doing their research, or perhaps is the mangaka to blame? lol |
Frank_86 said: Ohh, they didn't close the pipe! I hadn't noticed ha! Lazy drawers, not doing their research, or perhaps is the mangaka to blame? lol Probably lazy research because it is kinda hard to find pictures of winchesters from front perspective if you aren't looking specifically for that or they used cheap toy as reference. also surprisingly manga started basically in the same time as anime so I think we should consider anime as original. |

| First of all, Id just like to say that I cant fucking stand hototo. Hes trying to act all smug and grown up all the time when he's actually just a lil whiny bitch that wont shut up about his people dying, which is understandable, but why the fuck you gotta interrupt every scene to talk about it. We know dude Secondly, that ending fight scene was pretty cool. I feel like the art went up a score this episode. Sadly, for some reason this show has done a pretty bad job at making me care for all the characters. They're all just so contrived and so clearly following a character template. like... MC smart! He thinks he's better than everyone because smart Side character: hahaha he's wimpy but the only reasonable one Hototo: Kid that doesn't want to be called a kid! Hes native american and angry about the bad men. I dunno. the shows fine but obviously not my favorite |
   |
| No wonder Kosame didn't take the gun if he already has the sword and anime logic skills to slice bullets. Kinda wish the neck-tattoo guy would lose some limbs or be beaten up a bit more, but at least Hototo got his revenge sort of I knew it the Richard guy turned out to be Gil after all, never trust close-eyed characters. |
