| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I wonder how much trust can be put into certain characters in this show... Well, we got a setting that seems isolated from the main city at the Abanoned Ward 3. Feels like the episode is more aimed at showing the different side of this anime. Looks like out of main cast has bounty placed on their heads and that spells danger for them. Damn. |

| Swindler has my vote for mom of the season The lunch box from the two children would be pretty OP IRL. Also the preview for next episode seems like it's going to set up Brawler's death, and I'm prepared to see how epic the rematch is as well as preparing to cry when he actually does die. |
 |
| Slower paced episode, which is good Regardless, another exciting episode. Those last minutes were hype! Also, beautiful and creative sceneries Hacker is gone, he most likely died. What a shame |
| Liked it. Felt calming and a felt like we got to know the characters a little bit more. Sad we had to bid farewell to hacker though. Executioner is back to fight. |
 |
| Black Cat's conversion into two human kids AREN'T QUITE THE END YET...or more likely, the end is nowhere in sight, which is a good thing. But Hacker's persistence to separate from the rest of the Akudamas to spur into Kanto...what is he thinking? Even worse, the vagueness of the Akudamas to do Black Cat's dealing is starting to cause a rift of trust problems, but regardless of the nature, the job must be done. But before that, a rest for the 6 of them + 2 kids (that Swindler is taking care of) for all that action for character bonding moments, which I like for balance. Akudama vs. Executioners with a 2-0 score: Ready to go all-out big, but with high stakes as the Executioner Master and Pupil failed not once, BUT TWICE. to get suspended, wonder what's in store for them. Out of all the Akudamas, Swindler has the biggest heart to sway hearts, not because of her moniker, but of her own genuity to protect those she cherish. As for the entire Executioner organization, a warrant for all 7 of them for a search-and-kill, that IS gonna be interesting. Onto the way towards Kansai, and WELP that's fast for Executioner Master to reach them... A bounty for the Akudamas vs. the Executioners all-out cease-and-desist. Pumping adrenaline! |

| Goodbye Hacker and probably goodbye Brawler in the next episode I wonder what will do the two executors now, especially the master which seems to plan something. |
 |
| The executioners got suspended but they’re not going to give up on catching the Akudama. |
 |
| Hacker-san made it right? ;-; Nice episode, was kind of relaxing and the visuals just made the moments more wholesome, great work with the visuals! A slow-paced relaxing episode is what I wanted to know a bit more about the kids but guess there wasn't much revealed rather than there being some kind of professor feels like the kids are results of some experimentation? but overall good episode, liked it! Hyped for next week ^^ |
| Hacker parted ways with them, for now. Hope he will rejoin the group. Those kids are so precious, being transported as goods even at a young age. Must protecc. There's some moment between Swindler and Courier, I guess they're really going to this path instead of Cutthroat x Swindler. lol Swindler's "ability" doesn't work on Doctor, probably because they're both girls and kinda competing. lol Search-and-Destroy of the Akudama order for all Executioners! Master found them very easily. Brawler and Master rematch! This is getting more exciting!!!  |
| Black Cat kid is gonna grow getting kidnapped and become the MC of Danganronpa V3 lol (now that i mentioned it, the writer better not pull that garbage bullshit he pulled on DRV3’s ending for this one) its getting little bit annoying that Swindler really doesnt mind her own business, thats really why she been lumped in with a bunch of Super Criminals and Hoodlum NOT that $5 coin |

| I need that box, someone gift me one. Executioner came to die alone. |
 |
| Another solid episode yet again. Swindler's growing on me more and more with each episode. |
| Decent episode. Looks like next week brawler v executioner will result in his death(brawler) or at least him being gravely injured. This week felt like a set up mainly for what’s to come. Hopefully we’ll learn more about the kids too soon, I’m guessing they were made in that plant. |
 |
| I hope Brawler doesn't die in the next episode. He is a bad-ass idiot. Looks like Master Executioner is gonna die and Pupil Executioner will seek revenge. Or Doc will treat Brawler back to life and Pupil will save her master. The next episode will be bloody. |
| The calm before the storm indeed. I had thought that the Black Cat (or kids now) knew that Swindler was lying and were just using here anyway but after this episode and the scene of them eating, I don't think that's true anymore. Also, I just loved showing of who likes what food, it's great for characterization. We get to see that there is now a leader or leaders that the police follow, it seems to be three and I assume they are in Kanto. During the Shark and Bunny scene (still hate it) we see that Courior's bike was made at that facility, so it's a Kanto product. I don't know if we already knew that but that's solid worldbuilding, something rather obvious you can conclude from just that image but you can also miss rather easily. It's really getting spicy now, sending out all the executioners means we are in for some high end action. It does make me wonder the level of which our original two are. Are they average? Above that? It seems like Brawler had dealt with executors before upon their first meeting with the executioners. so I assume they are actually rather skilled. Love the main one's new scar, I have a feeling he will die next episode to complete the other's arc into a true executioner. Now I have two gripes with this episode. Neither is that bad but still got to me. The first is with the executioners surviving. Obviously they were going to make it. They are key characters but to put them in a situation where even Brawler seemingly was going to die in a matter of minutes, I find it a hard pill to swallow. I also feel HOW they were saved was very yada-yadaed. They also had very minimum damage. This just really bugs me. If you put your characters in a high stakes situation, someone must die when they lose or we feel cheated as viewers. The other is Hacker's exit. The reasoning itself is not bad, it fits his character and motivations but it feels like a way to get rid of a character to make the story more intense later on. For example, now they can't get passed tech things as easily. It's a lot like what happened with Fugo from Jojo's Golden Wind (must be a reference) but this one seems even more blatant. He may come back, he may not, that's not what matters, I just feel that scene was easy to see the writers writing a story rather than character goes through a journey. 8/10. |

| big sister swindler!!!!!! her interactions with the kiddos are so cuuuteeee, i'm sure there's gonna be some twist with them so i'll enjoy these wholesome moments while i can lol i hope hacker comes back at some point too! he was a really fun character! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| So I guess this is the time the fun begin where the groups tried to deliver the kids and starts to die one by one. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| I would love to have one of those lunch boxes. The Akudama's now have a bounty on them making them a clear target for all executioners. Next weeks episode is gonna be exiting. Good episode :) |
 |
| Another Amazing episode, this one has least action till now but it was rather more focused on characters so that's great too. Excited for next episodes. AOTS?? |
| 'I have no bonds tying me down. That's why I can see things as they are!!' - Yugami |
| The end of Shikansen arc. But Hacker decided to separate with them since his goal already fulfilled with their little trip. Damn you, boy, you forfeit the mission! But i still had some hope that he will be alright back there, like what happened to the duo executioners. But, maybe his next appearance kinda become another twist. Lol. Anyway, Yes, the executioners were alive without a proper explanations. I guess all of the executioners had a good facilitation to treat them well, when the whole time trapped on that shit-black-hole. Okay! Well, as already mentioned, every Akudama had their own motives that not all of them were looking for money. Brawler and Hacker did a nice example, and then the Doctor. He took a nice provocation to the little kids, until the ordinary girl disguised as a swindler took the initiative to intervened. Well, thats the girl role, prevented any unnecessary fight among the Akudama while in the matter of time, every plan still on the schedules. But, was that enough? Not much. Because after that, those brave executioner never tired to chase them down even if he fights them all alone! More action packed will be declare at the next week! |

| Anime seems to be slowing down a bit, which I'm totally fine with. Seems to be focusing on the characters a bit more. And next episode, I'm expecting something great |
| Nice change of pace. Slower episode ahead of next week where they (probably) have to deal with all the executioners. Loved it as usual. |
| Oh shit. How the hell are they going to make it through this now that EVERY SINGLE Executioner is on the look out for them?! I have a feeling this anime isn't going to have a happy ending. I'm super suspicious of those kids too... like, I don't think they bad or anything but I feel like they might not be human. I can't believe Hacker is gone... come back, we miss you already! I guess it makes sense that he carried on to Kanto though since that was what he always wanted, but I don't see how he could've made it there alive. |
 |
| Great episode. Really calm and peaceful episode, with a bit of information. Hacker decided to go his own way towards Kanto. I hope we get to see him again. There's definitely a bit of trust issues among the group after the kids appearing. The doctor especially isn't trusting the kids and not buying Swindler's act. Also courier knows. So all executioners now on the Akudama, also the previous captain has already caught up on them. So executioner captain vs Brawler next week. |
 |
| Is it possible for someone can give me a lunch box like that? I believe there is some relation between those children and Swindler, Could she actually be a real swindler? her innocent act is like a 'swindler' trick? |

| We are not even halfway done with this season and things are about to get crazy. It’s a shame Hacker is already gone, but he really doesn’t have much use anymore. I’m excited to see an unhinged Executioner go to work next episode. My bet is at least one person dies. |
| Favorite episode so far. Nice and slow paced. |
| Hacker just up and leaves the party like a badass, hope we'll get to see what became of him later on. Doctor asking all the right questions, intense moment for the kids though. Sweet moment with Swindler and the kids. Also, Idk how Cutthroat can sleep in a tub full of water. Oh well. Slower paced episode and by the looks of it we'll get to see some backstory for one of the executioners as well, if the hints mean anything, that is. "This lunchbox can reconfigure atoms in the water and air to make food."  |
| It was a great episode for us to have, the pace was slower, which was good, we got to see even if a little, some interesting personalities from the Akudama Group. Hacker left the goup, interesting what consequences that will lead to. Will we see him again once again? If some Akudamas might leave the group, I'm interested to see if someone is going to leave for real, and die in a fight or something. Next episode looks very promising. |
 |
| Swindler kind of reminds me of the MC from Mr Love That lunch box... I NEED IT! Great episode! |
 |
| I usually hate all the original anime that has been airing the past seasons but I actually have been enjoying this one, hopefully they all can survive by the end of the season but that seems extremely impossible after that order for all the executioners. |
 |
| Bro, if they breakup the bromance next week I'm dropping this show. I feel bad for Swindler, she's so out of her element, and now she's wanted dead. |
| I would pay anything just to have that lunch box, so OP. |
 |
| now this time i can safely say it was surprisingly chill and somewhat wholesome for this show lol Hacker too OP with tech but hes gone for now? he was one of the most useful assets to the team. pour one out for swindler joke is she actually is innocent but shes got the whole army after her head now with that huge bounty . |
 |
| I do wonder if we will see the Hacker again because they probably might need him. That lunch box is way to OP! I still wonder who those kids are and why are they so important. Also, the next episode will be epic! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I love how they're setting up the world here more and more. Also, a slow-paced episode was much needed, but the characters' backgrounds still need more portrayal. What really irks me is how Swindler adapted so easily to the Akudama life. I get that's the whole gist of her character, but at least on the inside she should be struggling a bit, right? Hard to comprehend how someone is an accomplice to murder without batting an eye, even if it's just for survival and not by choice. But all in all, the series is still going strong. The two (most likely result of experiments in Kanto) kids are an interesting addition to the cast, but I'll miss Hacker. I can see him surviving and coming back to save the day at a critical moment in the later part of the anime. As for Brawler, I refuse to think that he'll die soon. He'll manage somehow to live... |
 |
| Hacker decides to try his luck on Kanto, incredible that he managed to get the necklace off. Bullying is always bad but it's okay to commit crimes ¯ \ _ (ツ) _ / ¯ And a box that makes food with water and air? Take my money now. Finally, the Executors will take the Akudama seriously. |
