Oh just because little recap, you guys give a lower score.

But still this episode is really great as expected. Op and Ed are really banger. Okay that steel armor guy or King's sword or whatever his name (i forgot that) is dangerous one.
If it took less than a minute, it's OK, but in this eps it took 5 minutes, that's annoying already

Oh yeah, another anime with 5 minutes episode recap, that's annoying.

New OP and ED as expected, cause this is the beginning of 2nd part of first season. For now I prefer the previous ones, but might changed later.

That horse part was funny, I wonder could Despa arrived with such fatty horse?

Miranjo could protect herself by changed herself to diamond? That's surprising.

That souled-chain-mail was easily punched away by Kingbo at first encounter, but that chain-mail revenged and Kingbo easily defeated to the verge of his death. Surprisingly, Kingbo managed to survive.

Now it's really clear that Miranjo is one of the main villain of this anime, but her reason to be villain sounds generic. Just hoped there will be better explanation of why she wanted to destroy the kingdom, if not she will be just another dumb protagonists of anime.

Not interested to the rest, I rate this episode 7.2

i think that if ousama manages to keep this level of world building and storytelling, and even goes beyond with this new battle/war arc, it could become a serious contender for one of the best animes of all time.


not yet. the first part was like a solid 8/10.

but I will be lying if I said it couldn't.

I mean hell if you asked me what score I will give steins gate at episode 11 I would also most likely say an 8/10. but then it turned into my favorite story I have seen in fiction.

I would also say the same about the first season of black sails, but once again it went from an 8/10 to my second favorite story in fiction.

so is it at that level? no

but it can be if it reaches it's maximum potential.

Well, a little recap isn't really hurt me. Because look at that op, man. A banger and have a vibe like a battle shounen one. Way better than first op. Sasuga, Wit-sama.

One visual that really catch my attention: oh damn, are you really that little girl from the mirror?

Interesting. Can't wait to see more of her backstory.

Ayy, look at Despa most precious steed became the big white blob like that. Poor Despa slowing them down xd.

Bosse must be hiding something with that playing along.

Criminals had their own screen time and dialogues. Even though Kingbo strength sure immeasurable, but by the hands of the sword king, he's just nothing. Kingbo unexpectedly flashing his own backstory. It means he must have been holding a key role. Remembering a few episodes before. Perhaps he will talk to Bojji and telling where his father at, while lending all his strength to help finishing off all the criminals. Because looks like Kingbo had a beef with his crazy father, and might clear it after the battle with criminals over, for once and for all. Maybe.

In short, ousama ranking keeps me intriguing, and really looking forward to see more of this....

Dude, that new OP is so good. Fantastic visuals and direction.

As for Miranjo, I don't know what to think of her plan so far. I mean, even if it's only for chaos purposes, there are still too many wild cards in that hand.

Oh... so Kingbo's father is the crazy dude Bojji met at the forest in Ep.4, huh?

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.

A quarter of this was recap but once it actually got going it was good. I like that some of the villains have complexity and the biggest threat is somewhat “weak” like Bojji.

Yeah, this definitely sums up my thoughts as well. I realized I really only care for the Kage-Bojji dynamic and Bojji's progress more than anything else in the series which is why the first two eps were really strong for me. That, and Hiling's affection for Bojji I suppose.

I feel like the whole underdog aspect of the story was starting to get lost with Bosse taking over Daida's body (so there's no real brother rivalry at the moment), and now the underworld criminals entering the picture. The new underworld criminals don't do much for me other than maybe serving as another test of Bojji's strength, which is I guess is coming up pretty soon.

Definitely still have hopes for it though, and see a lot of potential that I hope this second cour addresses.

Kingbo may have become a rotten thug but I can empathize with the guy.

But Kingbo ain't dead yet. He still has some part to play.

Right, and I hope revenge is also part of his role because I want to see him clash against his father.

Great episode. Well executed tension between the criminals and specially the segment of the psycho metal guy (Ouken?). Silence makes him more threatening and disturbing. Though using a sword to penetrate plated armor doesn't seem very realistic to me, but whatever.

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

My impression during the episode was that Bosse and Miranjo are in on a plan together, since those guys are among the strongest threats out there and they immediately began to fight or conspire against each other over the kingdom.

I really liked what they did here. Instead of making the whole a recap episode they just made the first few minutes a quick recap according to Kage's pov. Others should do this too if they really want to keep a recap.

I feel like Miranjo is doing all of this all because of jealousy.

The OP and ED are so beautiful. When the ED started playing it was somehow nostalgic cuz it reminded me of how milet started playing in Vinland Saga for the ED2.

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 OP is fire :p



excellent observation..

p.s. I wanna see that King return !
