| To be fair, Shiki has every right to be angry here in this episode. He's fighting former comrades and they're pretty much just trying to survive at this point. This thing going on at Kyoto has been nothing but a disaster in these latest episodes. Welcome to the reality of their world. This episode probably fueled Shiki's desire for revenge even more. |
 |
| Got to see a little more of what makes shiki tick today |
 |
| That's a nasty trojan horse from Tsubakiri. Who's gonna clean up that mess? I liked how Shiki didn't really hesitate despite his qualms. Gotta do what you gotta do. And I mean, it's essentially just zombies, but in other series you would see the characters contemplating for too long. But lol, this was probably the lamest excuse for not double checking if your enemy is actually dead. Some guys have it coming. Alright episode, kinda slow in the middle. Crazy that Yomogi wanted to use gas....  |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Shiki-kun, you're so kind, too sweet, please protect Mei-chan at all cost! |
| Damn man, and i thought Nagi from Ruri-Rocks was bad af... this is a toss up for anime baddie of the year lol |
     |
| Well, it did solve an issue I had with episode 1 with how in the world Shiki got all those guns. Those were model guns. |
| watching because i love the manga good episode... |

| how does this show have a low rating its pretty good imo |
Reply to Kai200X
so the mc is feeling bad killing his own, despite they are already "dead", and he barely know them... maybe they want to show his sensitive side? I dunno
| @Kai200X I think he's feeling bad about re-killing the dead, not that they're his own. It is considered distasteful to mess with the dead in most cultures, so that's what the MC was feeling. You don't have to know the dead personally to feel terrible about it. To show his sensitive side, the girl was enough. I liked that interaction, made him feel less retarded considering his character so far has been just yelling loudly like typical Shounen MC. Maybe they should've written the character to be smarter, not loud and obnoxious, it would've helped me not hate the first few episodes instantly. |

| Sadly this episode was super cliche 😭 |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| I hope Shiki has enough bullets after mowing down those Oni zombies because the mad scientist and the big lady are making their way to the Oni hideout after taking out Naito. |
 |
| That gun had lots of bullets huh I was hoping Mudano would resist the explosion and attack those two Momotaros to keep them from going to the Oni's base, but I guess he's not invencible, I just hope he can recover and go back to help |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| They spent almost the entire episode with MC crying. The animation keeps getting worse and worse. This adaptation is really poor, it’s even worse than Sakaflop Days. Just go read the manga |
| Can't help but nitpick this show. Shiki's gun apparently has has unlimited ammo. They showed Shiki shooting the mom 3 separate times this episode. Flashbacks of things literally happening in the same episode multiple times. Lol. Mudano and the group of throwaway onis literally just standing there while girl with huge momos uses her skill to entrap them. "Senpai, we should go confirm they're dead." "No thanks, I'll get dirty." This surely won't come back to bite them in ass. |
| They are in a dangerous situation... |

| Wtf is up with that bullshit one piece-like pace? they showed that scene where Shiki shot the mom in the head three fucking times! |
 |
| Another intense episode, that wasn't afraid of showing what Momotarou really do to Oni. That commander really is ruthless, and that little girl, Mei, not only had to discover her parents were dead when she saw their corpses, but also watch them be killed again. And I like the fact the anime highlighted how messed up this all is, with Shiki growing hatred against Momotarou. I wonder if the anime is always only to paint the Momotarou as the bad guys, because at the start of the anime, when Shiki's dad died, it was hinted that the Oni aren't any good either... Anyways, I'm impressed Shiki's gun had so many bullets. Didn't really understand if the blood bullets Mudano talked about were already predetermined, or if the gun just uses Shiki's blood for the bullets. In terms of action though, nothing too crazy happened this episode, but we got to know what's the abillity of the guy with the glasses and green hair, that no one treats by his name, so I don't know it either. That radar abillity seems really cool though. Also, Mudano isn't in a good condition at all, Yomogi's abillity seems quite OP, letting them just jailed like that, and then using the Ugly as a bomb. Curious that this barrier didn't contain the explosion. And also, it seems Shiki is a "special" Oni. Although this is a really common mark in Shounen anime, it's understandable, the main character needs to be special in any way, right? And it's not like this wasn't hinted before, since we saw Mudano was surprised by the amount of power he has already. I just wonder if the fact that he is "special" as anything to do with the fact that he was raised by a Momotarou. I'm still curious to get this backstory, that was only briefly shown in the 1st episode. Anyways, I enjoyed the episode, and this cour really is doing a good job to showcase what this anime can become in the future. Also, I cannot stress enough how AMAZING the opening is, it has been on repeat ever since it came out. And the ending is great too! Edit: Forgot to mention, but the whole segment of Shiki just being frustrated towards the situation and how unfair it was for Mei to experience that was really interesting, and the fact he promised Mei that he would make it so that she wouldn't have to worry was really sweet. I wonder if she's going to make another appearance in the anime later on, after this arc is over. The they dealt with his dillema of hesitating on killing those corpses was a bit different than what Shounen's usually do. Shiki growing from having heroes as his idol, and now, instead of being a hero, he decides to become a villain was also interesting. Also, this episode solved a problem some people had in the 1st episode, that was related to the fact that Shiki had guns in his room, and in this episode was revealed they were just models, and not real guns, which honestly was my guess ever since the beginning. |

Good episode, it just keeps getting better
Another thing I wanted to comment on, I didn't know that Tougen Anki was so popular, from what I read on Anime News Network, the first episode of Tougen Anki surpassed One Piece's viewership. Furthermore, it seems that it became top 1 on Netflix in Japan and is always in the top 10 worldwide on Netflix (in my country, for example, it is always in the top 6 in the first few days). I was surprised because Netflix has other anime this season that had much more marketing, like Sakamoto Days, The Summer Hikaru Died and One Piece, And only Dandadan and tougen anki managed to stay in the world top 10. From what I've seen, the most watched anime on Netflix is Naruto with 40 million views, but Naruto has at least 700 episodes, Tougen anki with only 4 episodes already has more than 2 million views. Imagine if it had had the marketing that Gachiakuta had, for example. It would have been much more successful. I just don't know if that reflects on the sales of the original material.

I didn't know the anime has been making those numbers. Here on MAL isn't blowing up that much certainly, but I did notice the company behind this adaptation is promoting this anime quite a lot, on Youtube for example they make a lot of posts and shorts promoting the anime. Now I'm curious to see if the sales from the original material are going to reflect that.

| Just a normal episode... Next episode is going to be better~~~ |
 |
| i think it's because Shiki has that violence-is-my-middle-name punk demeanor that his genuine compassion and goodness melt my heart aren't the Momotarous supposed to be the superheroes saving the world? |
| It'd be pretty sweet if Shiki straight up becomes the Red Ranger but bloodier and oni-er. Kinda surprised Mudano didn't make much of an attempt to escape the box while it was closing off. |
| oh yeah Shiki is annoying but justified here, still reminds me of those edgy insufferable characters. Gonna be a challenge to watch 2 cours, but the action and abilities are cool so it's enough to stick with it. |
 |
| wtf Tsubakiri really kill the old woman from the previous episode, nobody is safe with him around. I feel bad for Shiki, he's forced to kill innocent people and even Mai's mom. |

| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 I believe in freedom of expression. |
| Oh hell nah, Tsubakiri better keep his hands away from Shiki. |
 |
| thankfully someone has a useful skill that tells the others about momotaro on the way. i wonder why they don’t have any comms or why the comms are so delayed, probably something to do with compromised comms/methods. still pretty interesting episode |
| It's just soo bad bro! It's so bad! I can't tell if it's just the anime studio's fault or if the writing in the manga is just as trash. Holy shit, it's so bad! |
   |
| Tsubakiri's "present" by infiltrating the Oni Agency with the controllable corpses brought into the Support Unit, it's quite the low-brow unexpected attack that permeates all of the Agency's corners. That said, Shiki having no choice but to shoot Mei's mother dead to stop her strangulation on him and the others thanks to Mudano's gun that came in handy, it's the only advice worth to stop the corpses as much as possible. However, that also exposes their hiding spot, that double it with Yomogi's barrier and the manufactured Ugly as a weaponry, Mudano and the others being taken down in one fell swoop, is not a good sign at all. To Mei, her foreshadowing that a day like this would come and be fine with what happened to her parents, Shiki clearly can't take this lying down, and resolves to be the hero against the villains in their way. And someone like Juji Yusurube's Blood Eclipse Release being able to sense with his sonar radar, it pays to heed advise since the Momotaro have pinpointed the Support Unit's location for their flashy introduction. Shiki will soon get his tick down bad though... |
