| I honestly love the visuals in the OP. So dope. I was honestly so scared for Shuryuu that she might die since this episode is all about her. Shit. She's my fave in this anime so far since she's the nicest then I thought Nezumi will be the one to kill her until that freaking dead crow appeared then I knew it it's Usagi, then Shuryuu was attacked when she got out of that manhole, then Usagi is there, then I thought Nezumi will betray and kill her. Ugh. Ugh. I was so anxious throughout this episode. Waaaah. I was so happy she survived in this episode. Fuck. Nezumi and Shuryuu deserves to live, so please, Usagi, go fuck yourself! I want Shuryuu to go back to her husband and be happy again. Good to know more about her. And for a brief moment there, we saw Boar gorgeously alive and well. Waaah. Great episode and dialogues, as always. 5/5 <3 |

He simply had them "risen" and follow his orders. Himself he would struggle to get them under control since they are agile enough to avoid all his melee or throwable attacks, but since Chicken ordered a slaughter at Boar, there were hundreds of them lying around. Which, Rabbit used to my surprise. Which is smart. That still doesn't explain how he knew where Monkey and Rat are. I imagine Rabbit having dozens of birds through the city, but it struck me as weird that he can comunicate with them. Could he also sense what Boar was seeing then? Maybe that's the case, he does claim that the manipulates the people he has risen, if they can slip up, he has to remote control them. |
| Everyone is probably like 'Monkey & Rat versus Bunny, they are gonna win!' And I'm like 'Bunny kills monkey and Rat escapes please' CAUSE I NEED OX VS BUNNY I'm still betting that Rat is gonna win.... |
 |
| Monkey.. OH please don't die is how I feel.. I'm scared the show is trying to make me like her only to kill her off in the next episode or two is what I fear with all the screen time she got this episode. I honestly don't know who will win though with how this show is going because the first episode I thought boar would be the MC but it would seem that anyone can die.. also I wonder if snake is actually dead considering how real snakes are.. |

This is an obvious case of "nitpicking", but I will indulge once - while the horde of undead birds was looking through the city to find someone to attack, that one got inside the sewers, other birds followed, one got outside to lead the Rabbit to where the horde was chasing Monkey and Rat. THEY DO NOT TALK TO EACH OTHER, THEY ORDER AND SERVE. And that is even when we do not know how his ability actually works. He obviously can not see through Snake, but *possibly* he can switch between vision of creatures he enslaved. Hinted at too. The undead he brings back have his eyes. |

I just want to make sense of his ability, since I found it weird a first for him to have apparently a similar one to Chicken. I'm not really trying to make sense of the show in terms of story, characters, motivation etc, since those things didn't make any since the first episode. I find it also too unbelievable for one bird to enter the sewers in hopes for finding someone compared to the wast open area above ground, or that the flapping of wings would not be noticed by two mercenaries in an environment with a strong echo, or that Rabbit was conveniently near Monkey and Mouse's exit point in a city of 500.000 inhabitants, which translates to an area of about 250-300 km². You call it nitpicking, I call it plot hole. |
| So the house of monkeys really does have intelligent monkeys that can teach martial arts then interesting. Deciding to use her power to try and end wars and killing from such a young age is really impressive. The Rat sure is perceptive towards people's feelings though but he was right about Niwa being reformed by Sharyu's words. So Rat is fine with a peace agreement but dislikes the peace that it brings. Sharyu's method of stopping that war was pretty interesting. Sadly when peace reigns others will always try to seize control. Nezumi sure has a bleak outlook of people thats for sure. It can be said that Sharyu has seen the worst of what humanity can do to each other. Despite seeing all that its admirable that she still maintains her role of trying to stop conflicts with words though. So the flock of birds used by Niwa had now become a tool of Rabbit then. The backstory of Sharyu was interesting but i just hope she doesn't die here as the intros is more or less the death flag. |

| Maybe a bit heavy on backstory, but still a good episode. Hopefully monkey doesn't die next episode. |
 |
| That ending part sent me over the edge with hype. I'm loving this show to death. My favorite character is Rabbit (Usagi) for his psycho personality and also his insanely OP power. He obviously brought Chicken back, but where her body is atm is unknown. She might pop out and sneak attack them. I don't think Usagi will win, but I don't think he's gonna die this early on (I'd say around episode 8 or 9 he'll die). |

| The war etc in Monkey's backstory was very...unrealistic, tried to do too much, + I don't really like Hayami Average week |
| Glad that no one actually died in the episode. Still, I predict This was actually quite an interesting psychological and understanding of pacifism, whether it is right or wrong, and the adverse consequences of so-called 'peace'. |
| I hope Monkey dies next episode. Ox for the win! |
Daniel_Naumov said: Silvia_Aureline said: Oddly enough tho.Tora originally have green eyes,Uuma's black and snake's has pallete color eyes.in the OP its seems oddly enough to me that they have red eyes instead of theirs in all of sudden. We'll wait for the answer later Someone is not well versed in symbolism YET, huh... Eyes are the mirror of the soul. Their respective colours in the opening sequence *STRONGLY HINT* at the nature of those characters. Humanity has assigned (deciphered(?)) colours their respective meaning long ago. The true art uses those nigh universal symbols for many purposes, one of which is called "foreshadowing". As in, they suggest who is the "bad" and who is the "good" guy/lass. If we are speaking in the concepts of good and bad, respectivelly. Here is a very narrow excourse: Red - vim and vigor, sheer might, couterpart of Blue, viciousness, ruthlessness, villainy, malice, domineering tendencies, corruption of mind and soul. Chaos Blue - Unearthly essence, purifying powers, counterpart of Red, calmness and virtue, heroism, righteousness, mercifulness, clarity of mind and soul. Harmony. Yellow - nobility (golden mostly, rarely), cowardice, insanity. Green - That of Nature (the order and system of existence... both outside and inside the concepts of good and bad, not acting in relation to those two terms. Not the same as insanity, as insanity lacks any concept (that of a system) whatsoever), everevolving essence, being. Also, dark green is allocated to impure powers and essences that taint the user and bring ruination upon all. The most notable part about the opening sequence is, that Rat opens his eyes in the end and has no distictive colours. He is the wild card we are not supposed to be able to decipher yet. So yes, Rat is the most crucial charcter in this whole story. Does not mean we do not cheer for the known good guys. Apparently, symbolism doesn't have anything to do with the OP. Pepsi_Doggo may be onto something except... |
| Darn it was an emmy episode, no strong gore :( |

Chicken, without any indication of doing so intentionally to prevent Rabbit from using her, MADE HER STUPID BIRDS EAT HER REMAINS. THE SAME WHAT HAPPENED TO BOAR. Now, if you think Rabbit can animate bones and make them wield this long redneck fork, then yes, there is a possibility for sneak attack. BUT IN FACT THERE IS NOT! Please pay closer attention to what is going on. When did the birds eat her remains? I don't recall seeing that at all. |
|
| So from what I'm gathering, from the battle royale aspect is secondary and the main meat of the story is how the mindsets and flaws of each character screws them over. It's a fun concept but the show is feels like a hassle to keep up with weekly. I'll come back to it once its over. |
| Well this was a change of pace in that nobody died XD Sharyu's background was decently interesting even if I don't like her character much, but we can see how her views differ from Nezumi's for example (and also the Boar may have "interfered" with that negotiation she did lol). Seems like we've got them vs Usagi and co next episode, but I'm wondering how he can use Niwatori's power? I mean I assumed that she couldn't have been possessed since the birds ate away her entire body O_O Either way I expect Nezumi to survive at the least since we don't know about his power at all yet. Then I hope we get to see the Ram as well! I already like him and he hasn't even really appeared much at all yet lol :P |
| Can't take anymore of these boring back stories. |
Daniel_Naumov said: She told them to "feast on her" right after the ending sequence. Or right before it. Well there we go... episode 1 & 2 went directly to the preview, so how was I supposed to know episode 3 would have an after credits scene? I also don't like the previews in this show as it tends to spoil. Well then I guess it's just Usagi and Snake. I'm curious to see if Snake has an ability. |
|
| Good thing that so called ceasefire ended the way I expected it to otherwise it would've been too convinient. Usagi finally makes an appearance, psychotic as ever. |
| Aw yes, Monkey survived til the end of the episode. I was hoping so, since she's voiced by one of my favorite seiyuu. |
| I have a feeling the Rat's going to win, but his attitude's gonna change. |
| NOBODY DIED :o So maybe we're breaking away from the whole narrator of the week dies routine now?? Anyway, Monkey's backstory was kind of sad, but really by her own choice...so I can't really find it in my heart to pity her that much. I still don't like her any more than I did in episode 1 tbh. The ending was really great though, and I'm kind of hoping Rabbit wins. Or maybe Rat will wait for them to tire/wound each other and slip in a win? That'd be cool. I wonder if they'll even get around to the conclusion of that fight since it seems the old dude is narrating next ep. |

Hmm. That's really got me thinking that Rat is gonna win the whole thing...I mean, he's the only one without any sort of glow in his eyes. Not to mention how Rat gets first place in the original Zodiac race story. |

| RIP Monkey, you will probably die next episode. One of the better warriors, imo. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Monkey is THICC. Dem legs and thighs and those tiddies under that jacket. Her hair now is way better than the style she has at home. Glad she didn't die. An episode or two ago they made her sound as if she was secretly fucked in the head. After this episode it's clear that she isn't,but has seen a lot of horrible things in her life. I find how many wars she's prevented unrealistic and a bit over the top. Knowing Rat will probably win, given how he's different from everyone in the OP as well as his "killing of all" line, makes this pretty boring. I could see this coming down to him and Monkey though. Maybe they can break the cycle of this game? |
FMmatron said: I think there was something in that tea.Monkeys dead would have been too sudden for an interesting character like her. Her backstory was my favorite one yet,also nice to see that they confirmed that she was the reason for Niwatoris change. Pretty hyped for the fight against Usagi. |
| Nezumi is sticking with monkey because he is sure she will be amongst the last left standing. He does not bother with the fights because he wants to be in top shape for the last battles. He said he can see when people are about to die. About monkey she is easily one of the strongest and she can remove the jewels without killing or hurting he other person using transmutation. Trouble is I wonder who will agree and trust her. Except Nezumi everyone seems to be out for themselves with no intention of forming alliances. I wonder where the Ox stands in this. |
| I'm rooting for Rabbit all the way! I love the psychotic characters!! Monkey will probably die in the next episode since we got an extensive backstory on her. |
 |
| MONKEY IS ALIVE!!!!!!! THE PATTERN IS BROKEN! This is a good breather from the backstory = death. Monkey's backstory was the most interesting one Iv'e seen and i would have felt so wasted if she was killed off there and then. Since she's facing off with Rabbit, she seems the less likely one to win even if she's teamed up with Rat. |
| When the Rat was like "you're always like this" to Monkey I had a feeling he might be a time traveler or something since that line reminded me of fucking Steins;Gate. If Monkey dies gonna feel bad for her husband/or bf at home. But whew that tread of characters backstorys meaning their death in the same episode ended for now. |
| Dem monkey thighs tho. I can't believe this episode finally broke the trend. |
| Holy shit i shit myself when she got swinged at after she exited the sewers oh my lord 0_0 |
 |
| Next battle is gonna be a thing for sure! |
