Air Canon if you would....easily break the ground and when it got upped by Virus? 100x mOre deadly It could be it....but how do you explain the explosion that the beam caused? From rewatching that scene many times I can tell that they didn't show the beam hitting anything that could explode, so that cannot really be implied...So is safer assume the beam itself is explosive or inflammable, but if it is, Can it really be Highly Pressurized Air? I think it makes more sense if we assume that was strait up a Beam charged up by the Blue Heart's (mysterious) energy. Well yeah. but I know 2 things that at least can explain partially that explosion. the Hunters that Horobi killed with that Beam/Air-Canon were carrying Steam/Air-tanks and Bullets and most likely other Gunpower things. And like Aerosol Tanks....if Highly Pressurized Air Tanks get shot...or they get Hole in them....they will Explode because sudden Pressure change. But we most likely will never know what it really was...unless it will be somehow explained |

Darklight0303 said: FragOutFire said: Why is it always social-darwinism? what's even the point of showing the blue-blood girl regained her composure at the end? is it supposed to be tragic? this show has gotten pretty dumb Remember what she told Biba before she was turned. That she was afraid because Biba was affraid. And he denied it. The fact that she made him genuinely sweat proved how true that claim had been and she seemed to be happy with that outcome since she proved she knew him better than he would care to admit. That's at least one interpretation from her expression and previous scenes. Yeah, I thought the Same...but what Is Biba afraid....Is it that he thinks his plans might fail? Afraid of Mumei and Horobi being Kabaneri? Or just "being in this World ful of Kabane" afraid... Horobi got the satisfaction to see how Biba sweated some before she died. Darklight0303 said: ALso in case anyone missed it, the kid that got bit and was killed at the very end? He was the same kid who was crying about his dead dog in episode 5. So he's been reunited with Taro. I did not...Poor mother Tough....and at least he got the Bite when he was doing his Duty....but bastard hunters came wrong time....Hell if he was that Long without turning into Kabane...he was bitten about what....10-15 minutes before Hunters came...and haven't yet turned.....Immunity? or if Ikoma was fast...new Kabaneri? We will never know now. |

HyperL said: Allow me to ask...Why are people calling this the WOST episode of the series? Is it because of the "IMA FIRAH MAH LAZER" kabane powers? Is it because Mumei is being the naive child that she is once again? Is it because Biba is confirmed evil to the core of the core? I'm not questioning peoples opinions...I just sincerely don't know the reason, since nothing really bothered me to that extent...

No that's not the issue, Kabaneri gave up realism in the very first minutes of the show. The virus is a deus ex machina though, conveniently inserted to spawn all kinds of obstacles and abilities for good old Ikoma and Mumei. Btw did anyone notice that motorcycle driver (another wacky and out-of-place introduction) managed to cut a thick steel wire with his miniature sized machete? I think I've realized the major gripe people notice about this anime, it is really awkward. From stiff animation, stuttered directing, stupid dialogue, clumsy plotline etc. it all feels like something of a mess. |

In this sense Kabaneri is more honest than Brotherhood when it openly admits that world building is not its forte and turns its focus elsewhere. Brotherhood meanwhile tries to craft a veil of plausability that ultimately rips apart towards the end when the whole thing goes bananas in a way that would make even the writer of Kabaneri scratch his head. Not that I blame them and I cannot deny that Brotherhood has both better writing and better pacing than Kabaneri, it also has a bothersome inclination towards silly humor but that's another story. |

Also the amount of blood required is debatable because since he in theory uses more energy than the average human he should ingest more energy but I doubt something like half a litre of blood for launch has enough energy unless he still eats normal food too. |

| WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS EPISODE IS i thought its just a calm episode.. but it wasnt.. that was enough to make me HYPE all over again... and that protoype and overwatch scene was silly as hell! but its very FUN to watch.. i hope they keep this up until the final episode.. i just want some action..and more MUMEI! less drama is best!   oh yeah here is the preview on ep 10 https://youtu.be/6kItmHVDEfw |

| Man, I can't believe the world is in state of apocalpyse with zombies everywhere and this guy is bitching about shogunate. Like wtf man? |
 |
| People are complaining about how Mumei's stupid as fuck. However, when I was 12, I did some pretty stupid shit. Then again, this IS set in the middle of a zombie apocalypse (and I don't think I've caused the death of a few thousand helpless people due to my mistakes) but I do sorta kinda relate with Mumei. |

ElectricRed said: HyperL said: But Baka-Hiru, In that case Mumei was a crucial piece of the operation. Why you see, the guys were not allowing men to enter, only woman or children. That's why Biba sent Mumei, a girl child, cuz who would've doubt a child at first right? Just to clarify, it wasn't safe to just sent a grown woman like Hiromi cuz they would still be suspicious of her, so only a child would do... Also, It isn't wrong to assume that Biba picked up a child for his army with that possibility in mind... I got a question for you. Do you approve Mumei for her actions, even if she is a girl and a child? (Just a little curious) Well, peoples main complaint is that she is stupid and dumb, and the thing is...maybe she really is...BUT, I have nothing against dumb or stupid or easily manipulated characters, because they're not a rare thing...not in anime and not in real life too. There is many people in real life, adult or children, that is as dumb and stupid as her, is just not so apparent cuz there's no Apocalypse happening right now... My point is, I have no problem with Mumei while she is just portraying the possible behavior of a human child in her current situation. |

| That was an amazing episode. As I suspected that blue heart had something to do with the Black smoke. Horobi in that Kabaneri form was so badass. Went full Super Saiyan mode shooting energy blasts xD Would love to get an explanation on that. Would love an explanation on a lot of things xD I knew Biba was upto something but to release a horde of Kabanes into the station. Did not expect that (I probably should have xD) This young master is just as evil as Doflamingo from One Piece. Damn. He really doesn't give a fuck about anything xD The actions scenes this episode were brilliant. Mumei finally realizes what kind of man Biba is. About time xD I'm guessing she'd try to talk it out with Biba, trying to let the others go. That probably won't go so well. Atleast Kurusu and Ayame aren't captured. Didn't see the English dude either. Excited for next week. Giving this week a 4/5 Only 3 more episodes left :( |

| Mumei you stupid bitch and he made Horobi into a Titan after that she went into Prototype mode man that game was epic |

| Don't understand the hate on Mumei. She idolized her "Brother" who saved her life Of course she was gonna think he's a nice person and follow his orders. She's a 12 year old ffs. Did you really expect her to figure out the Kabanes were gonna enter and ravage the station? Cut her some slack :/ |

| Can this series get any more ridiculous.... I mean action wise is actually pretty good, plot wise it is kind of a mess; it is almost as if this series is taking chunks of bunch other series, movies, mangas and trying to make then work somehow in just one story. Anyway, where did all the kabanes go towards the end?... (did they magically disappeared or those bad guys are just that efficient wonder how they haven't finished of all the kabanes already if they are that good) |
 |
I think this describes Mumei perfectly.  About this episode...well. It only emphasized on the problems I had with the show. But now I accepted it as the mere popcorn anime it is, so there's that. |
| Man those last three episodes were bad... Also Biba is a shit antagonist. At least the animation quality is still pretty good. |
| Ignoring all the firefights happening above me... Basically Mumei is a child, surprise surprise. I dont particularly hate her. Given the circumstances. And Biba is shaping up to be the new Hitler. Albeit Hitler was mor developed as a character. Then minigun wtf? and hyper beam also wtf? Why do the bad guys always have the cool shit? The hunter guys have those black ops level gear and prototype-like enhancements and shiz. Would be cool if ikoma and the gang manage to get gear like that. |

She deserves some appreciation considering she's the reason they're all alive in the first place. She's been such a badass since the first episode. It will be interesting to see how they're gonna get out of this. |

| Alright I just have to say, this is my favorite episode of this show. But it also might be the one of the best episodes of anything. Perfectly paced, framed and executed. They showed us so much and developed so much in just 23 minutes. The suspense, the horror the tension, all of it amazingly done. Like holy shit. 10/10 |

| I'm interested to see the kind of development Mumei will be getting after this episode. I imagine she'll probably be saving everyone in the next episode, but will probably be going a bit angsty. Overall it was really fun once again. I do hope for a season 2 as I can't imagine all this will be wrapped up in one. But even so I can't say I've ever been bored with this show. |
| I won't be satisfied until I see Ikoma piercing Biba's heart. Well that's very likely to happen, but I found Biba so despicable that I want him to die a violent and painful death. At least Mumei realized how he truly was, which was probably the point of the whole episode. |

But you know she's gonna redeem herself being the badass girl that she is ( ▀ ͜͞ʖ▀) Ayame and Kurusu aren't captured so they have hope. Interesting how they wrap this up with a lot of unanswered questions in 3 episodes. |

Tenth said: Tyrel said: Honestly, ever since Biba's appearance, the show has gone down in value for me. He's just a stupid "I want revenge" character. Nothing worse than that. Also, Mumei's a dumb bitch. Lmao. In the end, terrible 'villain'. 5/10 episode. You said it, couldn't agree more. and Human vs Humans.... geez like we haven't seen that before a million times. What you want is actually more boring. |
