early leak of the episode is out from Funimation

new OP and ED and i like the ED more

i thought this is gonna be a recap episode but nah the criminals are in the move and gonna start trouble, Miranjo wants to destroy the country eh i wonder why and why King Bosse allows it

that FullMetal Armor criminal is a big problem too since he can freeze his opponents movements so how can Boji fight him later on

Kingbo is still alive too i thought he will die as a insignificant side character

Really great episode as usual, The new Opening is really great. The Battle for taking over the kingdom is in motion, or so we may think, this show is as unpredictable as it come.

I do have some theories regarding "Miranjo" with the new Opening having bit of hints in it, but that topic is for the other thread.

Here's a Potential great wallpaper for Ousama Ranking fans.


Thank you for the present, Santa Snowman 2

Got the well needed recap.

New OP is banger, I like this one more than the OP1.

The horse part was funny.

The steel armour dude was sure a sicko lmao, dude was ruthless, he's gonna be one hell of an opponent for Bojji.

New ED is a banger too, I especially liked its visual. Better than ED1.

Good episode overall.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Didn't feel this episode at all and was pretty bored with it tbh, especially with the Kage-Bojji recap portion at the start. It took a large chunk of time that wasn't to my liking, even if this is airing after a 1 week break in the middle. But even after that, wasn't that interested in this episode at all except for Miranjo's character here and the role involved with them for the remainder of this series more than anything else.

This is more of a transition episode so I won't be too disappointed in it, but 10 episodes have taken place since I raved about the first 2 episodes and among the 10, only a couple of them have genuinely been really good and entertaining/interesting throughout. Show needs a better record than that with this second cour and hopefully it accomplishes that for me.

The visuals for the new opening and ending are easily contenders for this year already and for a combo, could be one of the best of the year. The opening in particular stood out for me, it looks fantastic with the Jujutsu Kaisen OP director I think working on it cause the touches and similarities with some of the cuts are definitely there. The Bojji-Hiling cut looks so wholesome ngl. It took me a couple listens but I do like the opening song for it now as well, I'm still iffy about milet's ending song here and it's a shame that I never loved her ED songs in the past too for series like Vinland Saga. The yama one instantly connected with me in comparison to this new one.

Kingbo's father was the hunter Bojji encountered earlier in the series. So very likely that guy was the deranged ranking number 1 king.

A small recap in the beginning of the episode (not needed). Well, it was great to see a bit of Boji and Kage again. The new opening is just incredible. Might be one of the best openings from 2022. Just have to wait for the other great animes to be realised. It's catchy and vibey as hell, might be because of the JJK director. Well, Miranjo wants to destroy the whole country. Seems like some grand fights will start and the criminals have weird abilities. Anyway, the ending is performed by milet (one my favorite artists) and the ending is crazily good.

New OP song is awesome, I think I like it better than the previous one.

This episode felt really tense after the buildup and transition. Wonder what kind of key role Kingbo for second half of this series. And yikes, Miranjo really takes conquest to another level even for his character. Second cour looks like it will be very exciting.

DAYUM LEAKERS from Funimation, a good screwup I suppose.

I'd guess that not many people care for the Bojji and Kage recap for the 1st quarter of the episode, but lest you forget what happened thus far, this is a good time to catch up. Otherwise, this just eats up unnecessary time.

The 2nd Cour's OST is kinda mixed than the 1st Cour, but the OP was one hell of a better song, considering that they had JJK director Park Sung-Hoo in creating this vibe. milet's ED is just OK.

Otherwise, the plan to overthrow the Kingdom is underway from the criminals of the Underworld led by Ouken from Miranjo's calling, and this is just the perfect start to the 2nd Cour. Prince Despa is such a flattering character though, although his once beloved Whiteking steed got worse and more affectionate than ever. Putting on weight though, that's a time-waster in this severe crisis.

The only one that is of intrigue for now is Kingbo, and he got too proud to face off against Ouken that it feels like the challenge just begun to see how reckless the criminals of the Underworld will do as they see fit. One thing is clear: NEVER underestimate Ouken's abilities, he's a quick and sharp one. Based on the flashback, Kingbo is apparently the son of the crazed former King Bojji met out in the wilds in Episode 4, and since he got saved by Bebin at the last minute, so at least he's not a lost cause yet considering that that didn't effectively took his life.

This is a fine continuation alright.

New OP is amazing (visually at least).

Kingbo was disposed of already. Huh... It's funny how the fact he resembles the mad king (One Bojji met) missed me entirely. It seems the mad king is Kingbo's father who seemed like a good king, but something happened and he slaughtered everyone. That explains why Kingbo is "bad" now.

Masked guy is a sadist and can use OP stun ability...

Can't wait for more!

Lots of getting us caught up and setting things up for future episodes. Even comes with a mini recap at the start just in case anyone forgot some important details. Bojji and Kage riding in with the underworld guards to save the kingdom! Both happy to head that Despa is following behind them albeit on his lets say hefty stead. That horse sure let itself go after Despa returned him. Hopefully Despa can arrive at an opportune moment to help in a fight. Hiling, Dorshe and Domas all setting up positions to take the castle back. These underworld criminals are an interesting bunch. That one Ouzen seems the most dangerous with his power.

We got a lot of them in the episode, showing who they are their personalities and their relationship to each other and to Miranjo. It seems she just wants them to produce chaos by unleashing them on this kingdom with the goal of tearing it down. I wonder though why Bosse didn't try to fight them, hes shown off his strength plenty in Daida body so why did he just let the second guys prance on it and take over without even trying to fight. It seems like the words he whispered to Domas before was a warning about the kingdom being taken over so I need to know why Bosse just let it happen. There's always something more going on with this show to keep things interesting, I like that.

Fat Whiteking is such a perfect mount for Despa.

Kingbo must have some super regeneration, because with the tendons cut like that by someone that know what they are doing , move is impossible. And people need to learn to check heartbeat.

The OP was fire and the ED was cute. And I loved that ethereal track when we first cut to Miranjo and the bad guys.

Bojji keeps forgetting he's deaf.

EDIT: The opening's given us a lot of clues. If I can go a little wild, I'm guessing Miranjo was betrayed by that red/pink monster she was seen playing with as a kid. They trapped her in the mirror, and Bosse has been trying to help her escape. Killing Hiling might somehow help free her. The Sword King is strong and all, but he'll probably go down by episode 18 and the rest of the series will focus on the monster.

Sheeeeesh, this is already a strong contender for opening of the season. I dunno what could hope to be better than this. One Piece and AoT are strong contender, but this is too πŸ”₯ Ending was great again as well. Even the recap felt perfect.

After episode we had before this one, I started thinking King Bosse is not in this willingly. I am of belief he really did regret putting curse on Boji and thought after his death it will be over. But Miranjo brought him back. I think he drove his new wife out of kingdom in hope she brings back forces to bring Miranjo down. For some reason, some dark deal with devil probably, he can't go openly against Miranjo. I think it's for that reason that she has him locked up.

Very nice episode, as always with Ranking of Kings !

As for predictions..

------------------------------

KingBo is the Son of the Mad King we met at Episode 04.

As we see here, there's the Ranking dude behind him, so they probably went to pick his treasure as N°1 King, and he passed down the throne since he wasn't needing it anymore.



So this is the same person, just younger in the flashback.. and with a clear mind x)




----------------

This Cour is going to be A-MA-ZING ! I can tell you that much !

The new OP and ED are amazing. OP, especially directed by none other than Shingo Yamashita the GOAT. Also, Bojji's kingdom is in trouble and they are surely moving towards the kingdom. The criminals are surely very strong and we also got to see one of them dying very brutally. But, is he dead?

Miranjo is surely trying to achieve something but for now, her goal is to see the kingdom go down.

Looks like it, they clued something with kings going mad in an early episode, so the story could be traced with that flashback
