I agree Mario acts too much on impulse and doesn't think things through. Are they really going to beat him up and not beat Sakuragi up anyways? It's kind of a meaningless sacrifice, and worse, it made Sakuragi fight back even though he only has three weeks left. But still, I teared up when I saw Mario's smashed hand, and he cried as well :( that was really hard to watch.

On the bright side, Kumagai is a great guy, I'm glad at least someone is nice to the kids. It doesn't seem like the doctor is going to open up, or maybe he will...either way, that doctor is fucked up and I have a feeling Mario's hand it going to stay broken. Which reminds me, fuck Ishihara for punching Kumagai.

His hand 0_0 I bet that's why he wears the glove on his right hand.

There's no way Mario's hand is going to recover it looked like every bone was completely crushed...owch >.<

Dat punch at the ending! Hope this won't affect his release date - I mean it can be seen as self defence if he beats them up?

Mario's hand.. damn.. I really hope that he could recover from that, it would suck to see his dream crushed. Sakuragi's punch was amazing, I think that broke his nose, man, I hope Sakuragi would broke every bones in their body, especially their arms, that would be so amazing to see.

Sigh, I thought that Ishihara is gone for good, but now he is back. -.-

Put this anime off for a long time because it was so depressing.

Sad but good episode.

Let's hope this beating he gives them won't jeopardize his release.

Wasn't the best idea to meet those guys alone, thats what I would say. with this, i think his dream is all but dead. :/

Won't rate it until i see the subbed version, overall the episode was good and at lease 4/5.

His dream wasn't to become a boxer, he wrote on the tree that, everyonelse's dreams coming true was his dream.

I don't see why they are so fucking obssessed with Sakuragi.
When they first moved Sakuragi to 8th cell, i thought that room was full of rapists.
After seeing they were only interested in beating him, it was a bit of relief till then Mario lost his hand :'(
Such cruel episode :( Poor Mario T_T
Things just got serious :L

Did you watch the episode raw or something because he explained why he came alone.

I have a strong feeling that Sakuragi won't make it, he'll die before going out :(
I just can't think this anime will have a happy ending, hopefully I am wrong :(

Mario should be smarter, how can he believe they won't beat Sakuragi any more, it is obvious they are not trust worthy. Just what use did he actually do beside getting his hand crushed and involving Sakuragi in more troubles.

This was to expected that Ishihara had a dirty trick in his sleeves, the doctor works with him awsell and seems to rape inmates. The punch was deserved, sad to see that Mario might never become a boxer.

Fuckin doctor, I was sure that he was a freak too.
Ishihara is back and he made An-chan change his cell and have him beaten every single day and night.
He didn't fight back, well, until they broke Mario's hand, now they are going to pay!

Mario is not very smart to be honest. He should have stayed out of this.

So Ishihara was actually punished for that fire, huh. Nice! And the new guard was kind, but also a weakling, I know the demon is his 'senpai', but they seemed to be on the same position, he shouldn't have let him hit him like that, but well.

Bro was finally going to be released, but since Ishihara, and that repulsive 'doctor' don't want to see him free because their crimes might be exposed, they are trying to kill him. Mario was a fool too, that punch for Bro might have made those guys, who are cowards, hit Bro harder that day, but offering himself to be beat up instead of Bro was simply stupid. Right after Soldier told him to think before acting too, I mean, his devotion to his Bro is moving and beautiful, but there was no way they wouldn't hit him if they could hit Mario instead, they were just going to torture both of them as they offer no resistance. And now thanks to it, Bro isn't going to be released anymore, and the week he wasted enduring humiliations, and the beatings was for nothing.

The scene with them talking about their dreams, and carving the tree was really nice too, and we are going to know more about what Ishihara did for Bro to hate him like that, I mean, what he did besides the physical abuse.

It's always these dumb characters who think they're helping by "sacrificing themselves" that end up ruining the whole plan. Seeing Sakuragi finally snap and punch those annoying fucks was satisfying tho

Mario’s really stupid. He just gave them a bonus beating AND made sure Anchan won’t be released. Mario made sure he was a hostage. I really want to know Ishihara’s backstory and why he’s so fixated just because he fears Anchan.

Mario unfortunately played the "victim" card only for it to backfire. Not only has he lost his boxing hand, but Sakuragi will remain in reform. Such a shame...

On another note, this series is so dramatic and I am loving it!!
