HyperL said: Darklight0303 said: the code is img*insert pic URL here*/img with the img segments surrounded in square brackets First of all, thanks for both of you Now...@Flipside101 You pretty are pretty much saying that you believe way more in what is shown then all of our assumptions...look at this image then Now, what we see here is Biba aiming his gun at a straight direction...But what is implied from your image is that the shot was aimed in a lower region then what my image implies...Now those two images separated contradicts each other, but when I use a little logical procedure and connect the two, I can conclude that the shot was indeed aimed higher, and Takumi taked that shot, which cause him to bent (like I had assumed previously) just like it's shown in your image. Now my little assumption have some backup to it, doesn't it? Unless you have another explanation for it, but that will also end up being a assumption of you own... I agree with you, HyperL. However, that pic doesn't really help. Ikuma is smaller than Biba (if memory serves)...... Going by that image, he should have hit him in the head or throat, I think. In any case, its clear that Takumi was acting on reflex. Also, yes, he WAS hunched over. You can tell by the amount of shadows in the area. Also by how dark the shadowing is around the midsection and wound. And, while I didn't see the preview, I'm wondering if Takumi IS dead yet. Or is he barely hanging on, bleeding out, in a mostly closed up room with a hungry and drugged up kabaneri? If he's not dead yet, that has a whole other set of possibilities. |

| so now it seems that the rest is on Kurusu if he shows up with the cure for Mumei.....i hope he does....so she can eat rice again.....the last scene will be how Takumi is feeding Mumei with rice...while she is getting her mind back ....and at the end she will smile.....pls let this little dream come true :D |
| [center]If you aren't troubling the rest of the world, then there's no harm in being abnormal. |
| I honestly give up. I didn't think it could get any worse than last week, but boy was I wrong about that! Seriously, what idiot actually approved of this ridiculous bullshit? |

Darklight0303 said: Baka-Hiru said: Uh no...you look at the genre. It says shounen. Is there really an MC that "permanently dies" and be removed from the plot in shounen? Correct me if i'm wrong cuz I haven't seen much anime but still that's my conclusion from experience. I was giving an objective argument unlike your failed attempt at wit Uh no. Stating realistic facts is "objective" while stating mere speculations is "subjective". He asked a question that can be objectively answered. Why speculate? |
| This show is going downhill. |
Sapewloth said: Cejara said: why does it hurt mumei when she touches it?I honestly think that the only purpose of the stone will be to snap Mumei out of her brainwashing. I don't know where all these other people are coming up with it being magical lol. Like you said it is just a river stone. If it did have magical powers then it would be comparable to the retarded zombie mega-beam. I honestly don't know. If it does something out of the ordinary we shall find out. Again this is coming from the anime that the colony of kabane used a mega-beam, so there is a possibility that it could have some power, BUT I honestly think it will be used as a symbolic tool to snap Mumei out of her brainwashing. Who knows where this plot is going, I don't even know anymore in all honesty. I just want it to be over xDDD. |
HyperL said: Flipside101 said: Ok that was probably the most pointless death scene of a side character I have seen... Blocking a shot that was OBVIOUSLY not aimed at a vital part. Literally a plot device. F***ing Christ I was wtfing on that the whole time. Oh, and Mumei stabbed Ikoma in the abdomen, nowhere near his kabane heart. Ugh, train-wreck plot and super condensed deus-ex conclusion inc... What do you mean it was not aimed at a vital point? I don't see absolute proof of that... And Mumei is drugged, is not like she can "access" all the knowledge of her brain right now to remember that a Kabane/Kabaneri only dies with the heart pierced, i'm preety sure she can only obey and think about simple actions... Mumei's mind: "I want you to kill him"?.....Kill? How to kill? Oh I know...stabbing kills people, I'll just stab him with this knife I have." (If you rewatch the scene, you can notice that it taked about 10 seconds between Bibas order and Mumeis reaction) Drugs used on assassins are suppose to enhance your efficiency rather than dull your mind. Since you're saying her movements are dulled then that would mean Biba's using cheap drugs or he's juts really retarded. |
| that obviously won't be the end of Ikoma, Mumei finally came to her senses but oh wait ten seconds later she's gone didn't really feel sad about Tatumi dying, pretty anticlimactic and predictable |

But he's not using it to enhance her efficiency but to make her his 100% slave. It doesn't matter for him that her mind is dulled as long as she's incapable of disobeying him... |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| So, this series will end on a "revolution" failure leading to some big revelation about the "zombies". Did the creators think they were crafting a full-length TV anime (24-26) ? 3/5 @Deleth The hypothesis you quoted isn't really bullshit, there have been numerous endings (not necessarily in japanese TV animation) like that. True, it is "cliché", but no more than a lot of other elements in the series (and that's not synonym for "bad"). |

Well I guess Biba's just retarded to order a completely dulled person to give a decisive blow to the enemy which could increase chances for survival. *sigh that's why people call this show shit. |
| Good episode . Takumi's death though ... Oh well 2 episodes left and I must admit biba isn't that of an interesting character and they should have put more depth into his character than just "revenge on my father" . |
 |
| How fucking dare they kill Takumi. He was one of the most likeable characters in this show. I'm still in denial and hoping he'll be okay in the next episode, but then again, it's hard to survive when you're shot in the chest with a big-ass gun. Kurusu needs to show up soon and just straight up save everyone. I don't even know how Ikoma's gonna survive that fall with a severed arm?? He has the power of MC so obviously he's gonna live, but shit. Also, is anyone else predicting that Mumei is gonna die? A few death flags popped up this episode, in regards to medication, blood dosage etc. |

THere's more to Biba's past outside of the anime. I posted a translation of it on the previous page. |
Darklight0303 said: TheBigGuy said: He meets Kurusu/Kurusu finds injured Ikoma, Kurusu will give him this "white blood" and Ikoma's wounds will heal/arm grows back/potential powerup. Then they talk about their ideals/that they want to save everyone and become bros for life. Finally they rush to the city, just in time to save the day. Something like this will happen, I think. This episode was good, until Ikoma got trashed again. By the same guy. The same guy who also trashed Mumei. The grizzled hard boiled blond guy is no average mook I know. I just think the scene was poorly handled. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Biba is a such a bastard. Poor Ikoma & Takumi. |
  |
| I'm mostly interested in the stone. What deal is it with this one? Takumi grabbed it before he died and Mumei stands in front of him. |
| To be honest, I loved what just transpired this episode. Everything went to shit because Biba proved to be smarter and more resourceful than Ikoma. That's the difference between someone who is used to wielding power and using his brain to plan several steps ahead of his opponents, and someone who is smart but doesn't have the resources to think of every contingency. The guy who's more prepared usually wins, as proven here. Ikoma and his shounen ideals should be doing a double-take right now. Unless he becomes more ruthless, I just don't see him ever able to beat the likes of Biba. That's just how real life works. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Takumi's dead, Ikoma lost a hand, Mumei's been even more brainwashed. Well, shiiiiiit. Just about the only silver lining is that Ikoma didn't get stabbed in the heart, it looks like. Given that he's the main character, he's probably still alive. Also, that blonde guy who knocked out Ikoma previously also beat down both Mumei and Ikoma this episode pretty effortlessly, he's a tough one. It was questionable at first, a seemingly normal guy taking down a Kabaneri, but with the repeat performances something tells me there's more to this guy. At least we got some more Suzuki. Maxwell Powers unsurprisingly plays a great foreigner. |

Baka-Hiru said: Okay I forgot the best part which I just can't ignore. I really hope they can do an abridged version of this anime.  Abridgement of the Iron Fortress, yes, there's so much to play with... |
 It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.But does the heart have the right perspective? |
| I really wanted this show to be good, but with just 2 episodes left i guess this is the last straw. Biba turns out to be a pretty boy generic super villain smart enough to incite a revolt by planting fake keys. He also happens to be charismatic enough to get an army of generic followers to his insane cause with no explanation, a still-lacking backstory that justifies his means, as well as having a host of brainwashing drugs. The whole 'Sukari was a spy helping me all this time' was predictable and weak as f*** in it's delivery considering how little character development this show has gotten so far. Takumi's death flag was also set very clearly throughout this episode to the point where i wasn't shocked or fazed when he died - it was a matter of when, not if. Mumei will get injected with the blue blood next episode turning her into a fused colony, wow. ugh, tragic turn of events for the show. Episode 1 started off pretty well too. 2/5 And dropping overall to 5/10 for now, might end up in the negative depending on the last 2 episodes. |

| some people are rather salty over this episode. It was pretty brutal in places, generic in others but like the rest of the series very entertaining |
Smudy said: I'm mostly interested in the stone. What deal is it with this one? Takumi grabbed it before he died and Mumei stands in front of him. its a secret limiter that will UNLEASHED IKOMA SUPER KABANERI FORM  |
| This is the end of the series, Ikoma is dead. Joking aside, Takumi deserved respect for a friend TT^TT Will Ikoma power up after that or will he still be the same weak old him. 2 more episodes...Mumei, it's too late to realize the truth self of your onii-san. |
 |
| It was strangely predictable that things would go south once they hit the front of the train and met the main guys. I wish Oni-san and his blonde assistant were not so OP, it would make Ikoma's inevitable powerup a bit more believable. He could at least have resisted fighting that guy a bit. |

| The most surprising thing about this episode is people not seeing this coming. |
| Am I the only one who is enjoying this show less and less every week? What was this episode? There isn't too much effort put into it. I kind of want to see them killing zombies rather than each other. That whole hunters team is just so boring. It's a big blah blah blah. It's like Owari no seraph all over again. Not that I expected too much from the start but now it became really meh. (Sorry to say) |

| on the other side, i got very pissed off or more like irritated at Biba brainwashing Mumei like that and at him taking other's people's blood for his own reasons. "Weak" and "Strong" please can someone ship his fucking mouth up. some people said it was realistic. and that realisticness(LOL) what made me hate reality and gave up with reality. and always get mad easly if a character start talking bullshit,crap things like that. and it's a little bit late for me; R.I.P Takumi ;_; .. i wonder what will happen in the next episode.... moreover that cliffhanger is really killing me right now, especially with Mumei still got brainwashed like that..... well, anyway, overall, it was a really good episode imo with the fight scene even tho this episode pissed me off and irritates me. i'm looking foward for what will happen. Edit: someone said there will be another death in the next episode and moreover he said it would be the MC, i wonder who.... what ? mumei ? HAH! you know how to make me mad like a demon Wit Studio. if you really did that, i swear i'm gonna rate this fucking anime 6/10. i mean she only got played around by an asshole so basically she is innocent and you are planning to kill her ? YOU ARE VERY AMAZING IF YOU REALLY DID THAT, WIT STUDIO. (sarcasm intended) i just realize that maybe Mumei didn't stabbed him on his heart ? but that is impossible because she got brainwashed. aw yeah.....i forgot....it was because of feelings/emotions..................... guess it's my mistake for getting snap without seeing what just happened carefully ? well i'm starting to think it's A LITTLE BIT make sense. either way, if they really gonna kill mumei in the next episode, i'm gonna go mad like shit. |

| What? How is Ikoma supposed to survive that fall? Based on the preview for the next episode, it seems like he really does survive, but that's so unrealistic! Unless you're telling me that that wasn't Ikoma lol. |

Tevens said: i'm very very worried for what will wit stuido do next time with the story. because no matter how you see the ending, both Takumi and Ikoma died. it's impossible for them to be alive after all of that. so! WIT STUDIO! PLEASE DON'T YOU EVEN PUT PLOT ARMOR ON THAT ONE!!! that would be very suck and i would dislike it. if those two died, then the only who would become the main character is only Mumei and i think that would be very awsome if Wit Studio really gonna do that next time. just gonna be honest here, if they really want to kill the MC and Takumi, they kill them. don't do it half-assed. seriously. i'm freaking worried if they gonna put plot armor or not. and think about it again. Ikona fell into the ocean ? heck even if ikoma fell off the train but not to the ocean, he couldn't even catch up with the train, on top of that Mumei killed him with that sword made only to kill kabane. so there is no way, 100% no way! that ikoma could still be alive. well, it's not like i want the MC die but if they did that on the MC, please don't do it half-assed because it would ruin this fucking show which has a very high potential to be a great anime imo. on the other side, i got very pissed off or more like irritated at Biba brainwashing Mumei like that and at him taking other's people's blood for his own reasons. "Weak" and "Strong" please can someone shup his fucking mouth up. and it's a little bit late for me; R.I.P Takumi ;_; AND! Ikoma..... i wonder what will happen in the next episode.... moreover that cliffhanger is really killing me right now, especially with Mumei still got brainwashed like that..... I HOPE THAT FUCKING CRYSTAL/STONE IN TAKUMI'S HANDS AIN'T GONNA BE THE REASON AS OF WHY IKOMA COULD SURVIVE ALL OF THAT. OR MAYBE TAKUMI. I'M SERIOUSLY GONNA GET MAD IF THE STAFF GONNA MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT'S WAY WORSE THAT THOSE UNLOGICAL BEAM FROM THE PREVIOUS EPISODE. well, anyway, overall, it was a really good episode imo with the fight scene even tho this episode pissed me off and irritates me. i'm looking foward for what will happen. PLEASE GOD DAMMIT! DON'T PUT ANY PLOT ARMOR ON THIS FREAKING ANIME!!! Edit: the rating is getting lower because people think there will be some shit plot armor ? well, i still put my hope on wit studio so i hope they ain't gonna put plot armor. You forget Ikoma is more durable than your average human. That stab didn't go through his heart either. So your wall of text is invalidated from the start. There's no plot armor in Ikoma surviving |

Grimmgeta said: Sucks what happened with Takumi, I actually liked him. Mumei though, sigh..... Honestly haven't liked this series nearly as much ever since Biba stepped into the picture. No idea how they'll wrap this up in two more episodes. I'll tell you: In the next episode Ikoma will group up with Kurusu, there will be a massacre in Kongoukaku, Mumei will be turned into a hybrid colony -> cliffhanger In the finale, Mumei will be saved with the antidote brought by Kurusu, Biba will die, Ayame might become the new leader after Biba slaughtered everyone. Then the Sun will rise. |

|
| When I die, I want Mumei to lower me into my grave so she can let me down one last time. I still can't believe Takumi dies, he never got his tanabata wish fulfilled yet! |
| Wow, well that just happened. I expected to go wrong, but not THAT wrong. With two episodes left, I wonder how Ikoma is going to redeem himself. |
 |
BlazeWho said: Hmm? I understand being mad at chibi, but why Jacob? He's still enjoying the series quite a bit though the cliches (mainly the mind control drug) bothered him, which is understandable. I know they have advanced technology and stuff, but the mind controlling still felt slightly out of place. Although I'd prefer it to get explained somewhat, it won't really bother me as long as it seems like it only works on Mumei. As Mumei has spent a lot of her life with Biba, it's not too hard to believe he has a way to control her to some extent with drugs considering how much she grew to like him.Fuck chibi cough cough fuck Jacob cough cough |
| Biba. You and your fucking men should burn in hell already. You're one disgusting existence. Other than that, fine episode.... |
  |
| Disappointed. Biba is as plain as a loli chest and Ikoma as weak as a loli punch. "Let's destroy humanity because my daddy abandoned me 10 years ago". Jeez what a character, I'm so thrilled. Was expecting this show to be about humanity against all odds. You know, fun stuff. Instead we get humanity against..Biba with kabane as side antagonists and a weak ass main character. Expecting Biba to disappear into thin air after confrontation and end show with a cliffhanger and no answers. |
| great fvckin heartbeating episode, damn cliffhanger |
