Hmm, Kaname has his own little group now. Ok.

Looks like he got into a duel again but noticably, his skills improved with the short timeskip. I'd say he's probably a lot stronger than the beginning of the Treasure Hunting game. Liu Xuelan's introduction this episode was somewhat refreshing I guess. She's a very skilled fighter from Japan.

Rein with that big ass gun though.

Man, with 2 more to go, don't tell me that they're gonna be rushing things as usual.

Well, then it looks like Sudo is having a bit of a hard time with that Russian Martial artist in that Tulo Vale match.


Well then a hot Chinese Girl named Liu Xuelan just showed up

Who knew forming an alliance with other clans would be so difficult. The fight to start this episode was really good. Sucks that it for cut off but I enjoyed seeing Kaname flex his new strength after the treasure hunt. He definitely learned a lot from it now putting those lessons to work. Did not expect a crazy intruder to just come in and crash the party. Xuelan is an interesting character. Have to see by the end I kinda love her. I mean all the talk about making the next generation certainly helped, reminiscent of before when Shuka offered Kaname something similar, but she's a genuine badass.

Clashing with Shuka in that encounter battle. Really showed off how she got to be the number one player in all of D Game. The ploy of adding the person we just fought to the main characters team happened again, which seems to be this story's modus operandi with the enemies. That is expect for the good ole Eighth Clan bastards. Cutting of fingers damn man, Kaname got to rescue his buddy.

Kaname got a lot stronger and with that fierce smile of his, it looked like he is enjoying Darwin's game.

Xuelan was introduced and she ending joining their clan, Sunset Raven. An interesting name for their clan.

I guess we will be seeing more conflict with the Eighth clan, judging from the end credit. These bastards need to be taken down.

That was some decent action.
While I love Shuka, I have to admit that Xuelan seems very interesting. Hopefully she remains an ally.

I really like Xuelan, she's cute and op to boot. The catfight between Shuka and Xuelan was great.

Lol the hyped part of this episode turned out to be the car chase and not the fight between Danjo and Kaname. It was pretty normal.

DUDE THIS EPISODE WAS GAS. I haven't watched something that had me glued to the screen the whole time in a long ass minute. This was Fucking awesome. The shuka v Xuelan fight was extremely well done. Animation was great. I loved how Kaname handled the kidnapping situation. Instead of crying about it he owns it and comes up with a strategy.

I'm really looking forward to seeing more of Xuelan and what she has planned going forward. Plus she's sexy as hell. Win win situation for Kaname.

For the life of me I don't get why people on here are so sleep on this show. It's got some amazing writing, a unique premise and world, cool characters, good fights, etc. Dunno if it's battle royale anime fatigue or what, but people are missing out for sure. One of my faves of the year so far.

He knows Xuelan wants to recruit him, so what better way to protect your team then to put yourself on the line. Something that she wants alive.

This episode felt like it was 5 minutes long! That battle between the Clan & Xuelan was so cool and just really enforced how fucking awesome Shuka is! Xuelan is gonna be a really great addition to the clan but I see a hard life for Kaname ahead haha

Whew, that end of credit scene was pretty intense.... looks like next weeks episode is gonna be awesome af

A humvee, a harem, a life & death situation - really reminds of Highschool of the Dead. Well, except for the boob physics.

Anyway, a good amount of action this time around but how are they going to finish this up in a satisfying way?

Best episode in a while, interesting new character, was kind of hoping MC would become an assassin tho. The fight in the begin wasn't as good as could've been, MC seemed like an idiot, started a fight with no plan and had almost zero strategy.

That second half of the episode brought my impression of it so high up. All the best fight scenes have Shuka in it. Everything about that fight scene was mouth watering. I loved the way they animate Shuka’s chains n shit and the way she fights with it, it’s incredibly satisfying and always incredibly well directed. It gives me Trevor from castlevania vibes. Also that ost during the fight was INCREDIBLE, it was catchy as hell.

So far my favourite fight scene this episode, and now one of the top this season

Seems they put some smooth animation in this episode, really great to see the fight scene!
This is exactly what I wanted to see from this show and they finally delivered!
2 Episodes to go, curious as to where they will stop. Btw, nice OST out of nowhere...

Just when I thought this couldn't get more stupid there is pre-existing superpowers in the world and a high-school kid who did basic martial arts and strength training for a few weeks can kick the door off of an armoured car?

Damn this episode had really good action and coreography in general, same for the camera, this show has a lot of problems but i think fighting scenes are something it can do really well, before this it nailed sound design, even if the previous fights wheren't that good the sound made them good, but this one, was fucking great, i loved this, I hope to see more like this in the next 2 episodes

The battle between Kaname and Danjo though sure was interesting in showing both how much Kaname had changed both in skill and resolve since the beginning. Its nice that he managed to prove his strength though. After so long on the sidelines its nice to see Xuelan finally take to the field. So thats the strength of the no one player within the game. If anything her origin as being a member of an assassin family actually suits her nature quite well as is coming to personally recruit him. That challenge that Kaname made though sure was badass. The battle between Shuka/Rein and Xuelan though high level also showed well the clans teamwork as well. The consequences of that victory though sure was unexpected to say the least though the increase in both prestige and firepower sure will boost the sunset ravens name substantially within D Game. Overall an excellent ep that featured a perfect blend of action and story while also finally introducing the mysterious mask that had been present for some time. Shuka and Rein though look far from pleased though.

Pretty good episode to be honest!

Kaname's spar with Danjo was quite nice but not as good as the battle between Shuka and Xuelan, that was dope! She's a tough one though, but I am amazed that Shuka was able to keep up with her, eventho Xuelan never went for the kill.

Kaname keeps impressing me! Now that Wang has got a hold of his friend, let's see what will happen. It's kinda low of wang to drag non D-game players into their issues!

For the most part I liked the episode.... but the part where Rein said the finger bullets were too fast for Laplace.... how is it that she could dodge firearm bullets in previous episodes but can't react to much slower finger bullets? Makes no sense.

Maybe because they compare it with some survival game animes such Mirai Nikki and Ousama game who were disappointing

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! this was an awesome episode. It smells like 'THE FIGHT' of this anime season is being cooked. Shuka must be this season best girl by far. That Sunset Ravens looks like one hell of a team, a girl who can predict the future, one who can frooze things, one weapons expert, a deadly assasin and one who can create guns at will. Thah battle against 8 will be glorious

Kaname acting all cocky is quite cringey to see, not gonna lie. But still, it's better than having him whining and crying about not wanting to kill and stuff.

Quite lame episode if I'm honest. While it lasted, Kaname/Danjo fight was really mediocre and uninteresting to see. Not to mention, unnecessary considering that Xuelan was the one who formed an alliance with him in the end.
Shuka/Xuelan fight was quite decent tho. Truly a surprise considering how average action sequences are in this show.

And regarding Xuelan, I find her "proposal" rather shallow and unoriginal for this kind of series. Basically, a poor excuse to have another female character wanting MC's dick. I doubt it but I hope her character can give the series something more rather than just arrogant comments and possible lame comedy related to her being Shuka's new love rival.

Kinda disappointed with this episode, I thought Kaname having a training and forming his own clan would actually him make more develop but no he still the same dumb f*cker

Xuelan looks like an interesting character when I saw her, so it's a bit of a letdown when she just decided to join his clan after that boring battle (which I take it this is another bullsh*it logic where a new girl join the MC harem)...............

Well anyway whatever, Wang has finally made a comeback and we'll see how this gonna turnout

As someone that reads the manga I can guarantee you it's not the harem. Shuka is the only one that loves MC.
Xuelan isn't in love with him. For her any one will do as soon as she thinks they are genetically suitable to be sperm donor.

If he became a completely different character in just 2 months it would be strange. I didn't find it a boring battle, but that's my personal taste.

This guy just got pulled into this whole crazy game and after what he went through and from the last episode, I was under the assumption he has some development in his character. But I did not see that in this episode and that to me was somewhat disappointing

As for the battle, I'll rephrase "I think the battle was a f*cking wild goose chase"

I disagree, I would say that he is more confident and with a sense of leadership. None of the battles was a climax, but a post-climax, so I didn't expect anything very grand, but it even surprised me.

I started this episode and it was already the end in a blink of an eye : a great one, the rank 1 player looked tough as hell but seemed to have a sort of honor code. Not sure it was the best idea to let her join the clan but it would be 100 times worse to make her your enemy !
