WTF
I had noticed some lackluster bits in the animation over the past few episodes, but it seems like they were saving their might for this fight scene.
That was pretty damn good!

Multiple fronts as the conclusion draws ever closer.

On the other hand, this fight started slow but kept building up, with a Garfiel who seemed powerless at first but, with determination and his head held high, managed to stand his ground, never give up, and ultimately defeat the legendary Kurgan.

▫What a battle! 👊🏼👏🏼

Why tf was the original thread removed entirely bruh.

Anyway I wish Capella transformed into Priscilla would give some more fanservice, appreciate what we got though. Al remains mysterious and his mannerism is somewhat similar to Subaru. I'm quite interested to know who he is. Garf vs Kurgan was sick, that animation and roar was fire. Mimi would be proud Garf.

These are the kinds of fights that shine way better in the anime as opposed to fights like that of Regulus which are experienced better in the LN. Also, observant viewers may notice that Garfiel did indeed have a power-up before his inside-the-shelter duel with Kurgan mainly due to overcoming his trauma from his first kill(he's still a minor). Honestly, one of my favourite kinds of power-ups.

wtf happened to this thread

Some LN Extra Details (Volume 19, Prologue 0.1-0.2, Chapter 1.1, 2.1, 3.1-3.2 )
- It was Subaru that taught Garfiel the sixth sense term, which exists other than his five normal senses
- Kurgan had multiple opportunity to finish off Garfiel beforehand, but he did not take it, and Garfiel feels humiliated because of it.
- Garfiel used his untransformation to escape from Kurgan's grasp when he was holding him in his tiger form.
- Garfiel sometimes sneaks some healing magic on him as a first aid kit for his injury during his duel.
- Garfield was blown into the top of the government building tower by Kurgan and found the mirror Metia. He tried to used it to communite with others, but his legs are pulled back down by Kurgan and breaks the loose floor and breaks down lower to the sewers.
- Al references Lust as a `T-1000 wannabe` from the Terminator series when he's talking about her being shape-shifting is scary.


Differences from LN
- Gaston shows more bravery even though he is scared at that moment
- The Otto fight scene was focused first in the LN. Maybe they are focusing on Garfield first to keep the hype going.
- Kurgan's details is presented as conversation in the anime, but it is just plain exposition in the LN.
- There are no demi beast when Garfiel found his half-siblings, Kurgan is straight attacking Garfiel once he found him.
- Garfield final attack is using his fang and ripping out half of Kurgan's neck after his hand's bone is shattered by his attack. it might not be noticeable at a first glance in the anime since it seems smaller and the background blends well with Kurgan's color.

Garfiel's fight was not as well done as the Regulus fight, the last scenes of his fight were so blurry and unrecognizable, I have no idea how he actually won.
Lust against helmet was better in that regard, the also have some very... unique personalities ^^

@Martin_Taylor Easy there buddy, the fight in this episode wasn't bad, it was nice and all but I personally wasn't a fan of it either since the camera angles moved a lot from one place to another and it was messy and confusing trying to keep up with it, but in no universe is the fight in this episode on the level of Saitama x Boros.

Saitama x Boros is one of the best fights you will see in any anime, it's on top of the food chain, is the fight in this episode on top of the food chain too? absolutely not, it's nice but it's not on that level either.

The respective battles continue, as Otto takes care of Lye with the water lizards, though that's clearly not enough to take care the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony. On the other end, Al taking care of Capella, and even joking about trying to make love to her, until the point that she evolves and tries to mimic Priscilla, though that will not fool the armour head enough to try slicing her into pieces, only for her to regenerate once again.

Garfiel fight against Eight-Arms Kurgan, of which his race was once the depiction of malignment, his goes all the worse than the typcal many-armed race of having just 4 or 5 arms. And this fight, which the Gorgeous Tiger struggles greatly, and thereby managing to defeat a demon giving off Elsa illusions at the shelter where his half-siblings and countless citizens reside, the shelter becomes a match to cheer on Garfiel to defeat Kurgan's Devil Cleavers, and White Fox truly delivered in giving Garfiel the biggest fight he deserved with stellar animation, enough to earn The Warrior's Commendation.

Now, it's Wilhelm's time to shine, against the evil manipulation of his dead wife Theresia.

The Garfiel fight was a cool attempt at playing with camera lenses and choreography but the pacing was way TOO fast. Quite a few people agreed that they didn't know wtf was going on and how he even won the fight at all. This is a problem I've had with the Solo Leveling Baran fight too, such a shame we don't get more fluidity but it was a nice surprise from this series anyway.

Fighting shapeshifters is always a tricky one. Al was really cool remaining undeterred in the face of Capella's tricks.

Garfiel vs Kurgan was awesome. I love it when a battle is so intense the anime goes pencil sketch.

Yo lowkey I’m seeing the attraction of Lust, considering that she can transform into the woman of any man’s dreams, but that helmet dude (I forget his name nor do I care about his name) isn’t having it. I’m assuming that Capella can see into the mind of whomever she’s fighting to some extent? Either way that battle is still going on.

Then we got Felt who’s gonna use some special Metia against the Sin Archbishop of Greed, so that will be exciting once that comes.

And then the main focus of this episode, Garfiel vs. Kurgan. The animation was pretty good, but there were parts that I couldn’t process even after seeing it a second time. Story wise, Garfiel was able to fight to protect those in the shelter and he was able to prove himself against a legend of the many-armed race by getting him to use all 8 of his Devil Cleavers.

What’s next?

Al insulting Capella was amusing. Although I'm not sure how you can defeat her.

The climax of Garfiel vs Kurgan was fantastic. It was some of the best action in this series for me.

Aldebaran’s humor is great—love the dude for that. And honestly, having Capella as a woman isn't the worst idea… I mean, with her, it’s like being with every female in existence. Still, her personality definitely needs some work for my taste.

The second half focused on Garfiel’s fight with Kurgan, where it seems he finally managed to let go of the ghosts from his past. The fight animation was peak, though some scenes were a bit hard to follow with the constant camera angle changes.

Holy. Shit.

That Garfiel fight was absolutely insane, the choreography, the animation, the soundtrack, the feeling of each impact, everything was amazing. The fact that Garf was able to get over that weird PTSD thing he had was awesome too, and seeing him accept the cheers of the people around him was phenomenal. AMAZING episode, no show does it quite like Re:Zero.
