----------------------------------------
The gladiator fight between Emden and Cestvs is stretching longer than long...better finish up soon.

Cestvs has long played the defense, it's time to change gears and play the offense strategically despite still receiving damage from Emden.

The freak history that started with Sabina entering into Pompeii, she's easily the appealing apple of the slaves' eyes, so much that wtihin the slaves spark an all-out killing fest, reaccounted from another slave whose 16-year backstory has sparred with Pompeii's strongest and lost badly with a broken nose, and in its place: the succession of education.

Truth be told, Cestvs has already aimed at where Emden's weakest, and capitalizing on that to deliver a win, with the crowd egging on Cestvs. With the current situation on losing against Emden both in strength and blood, it's kill or be killed.

Gamble your life for the very end.

I'll never forgive this anime for cutting a lot of content in manga, but this match is exciting nonetheless.

Hey... a biology lesson in the middle of an anime is never bad. LOL

But, on a serious note, the fight is really good. I mean the way it is progressing and building up hype is pretty dope. I didn't expect that at all. The fight is still on between those two. The hype is real. Right now, I don't care about the animation. LOL

the struggle of Cestvs was very well used in 3D during fights but also had a lot of 2D at the moment about the past.

The Cells At Work mini-lesson was nice, but it was a little weird to have the Broke-Nose flashback right there.

I'm enjoying the fight. It better end next episode, though.
...but then again, I unironically like Warau Salesman.

The extremely elongated subjective time reminds me of "Kyojin no Hoshi" and the explanation based on physiology is like "Terra Formars".

It's scary. When you wake up in defenseless state from concussion, you are already damaged in a battle field and you don't know what kind of attack the enemy sent out.

One more episode for this fight, I was hoping it was going to be wrapped up in this episode. Also, the flashback of the dude with the broken nose felt so out of place lol.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

This fight is taking me a bit too long. I liked the flashback with Emden and the other guy and Sabina thouigh. Hopefully next time it will be finished and maybe some dialogue/reactions of Sabina and that other guy.

I didn't expect the fight to be that tense, also that quick backstory was pretty interesting but it's tough.
Cestus' condition with his bleeding forehead injury is hard.

Didn't expect the match to last this long but its an interesting one at least. Although an unintended command to the slave kids, it also quite shows how horrible Sabina is for smiling at the violence she started.
