Nice episode with a lot of background/history on Suitengu, with inferences as to why he is who he is now.

definitely feel bad for Suitengu-san :(

saiga is pretty lucky he was saved by the doctor and was not taken and experimented by the people who too Suitengu.

kinda amaze how Suitengu met Makabe, Tsujido, Ginji :D

and especially the name Suitengu!!! we never knew what he's actual name is or if Yui is the girl that died in the battlefield or not


great episode, love the series sooo far ^^

This is the plot twist/character development that this series desperately needed. I hope there's still more that needs to be revealed!

Damn amazingly powerful backstory that really builds up the character even more! Really interesting past of the music box as well! Let's see what's next!

Excellent episode. Now we get to see his true attempts right? Seems like he does not have long to live eitherways, having that curse of an ability. A story of revenge. Very similar to Gankutsuou indeed.

Good motivations. But a big societal change is unlikely to happen, even if he reached "the top" and is wealthier than 99% of the world population..

5/5 All those revelations should have been distilled more than a few eps ago.

Best episode of the series so far. The music box reminded me of the one that Vicious had in Bebop. I busted out laughing when he took his name off the nametag for the sword.

It explained a lot about the back story and had good character development.

Backstory time. Makes Suitengu much more relatable now, especially since he's more of a anti-hero than an out an out villain. Still a piece of shit though.

Also. the English in this show is actually pretty decent, especially since they don't seem to have hired any foriegn VA's for the role. Wonder if the casting call for the VA's required them to speak decent English.

A solid step up from the last episode, and an illuminating look into Suitengu's past. I guess he sees Yui in Kagura or something, if that was what that look was supposed to convey. And we also got to see the origin of the relationship with his henchmen.

This anime has so many overeager fetishists, rapists and molesters. I don't think I've ever seen such a high concentration of them before. I can guess that Yui's fate when she was taken away isn't looking good at all, because of that.

What an Incredible Episode! Easily the best episode of the show. Anime always manages to pull THE BEST backstories ever and this is certainly among them in the top. The direction and the writing of this thing was God Tier. Didn't expect so many twists and revelations like seeing how everyone met and also Suitengu's name. I definitely emphasize with Suitengu a lot more now. We hardly got to see any of his background before so now it's getting clearer. The way he killed that last dude was just SICK. I got some serious goosebumps.

I'm seeing this in show 2024 and it still holds up very well. You wouldn't see something like this now.
