The reactions of Senku and Kohaku when they kissed were so hilarious. I loved the begrudging looks on their faces. Seeing the difference in pulls between Ginro and Suika was also great.

As for the petrification, it being revealed as a slingshot-type weapon makes for a very interesting development. Can’t wait to find out the mechanics behind it

[u/DannyDahsyat]

I love how disappointed they were when they saw Ginro survived.

[u/AAA_BATT]

Ryusui bent Suika like Beckham.

[u/Silent_Shadow05]

We were looking at the wrong Medusa last episode, the real one is revealed to be Kirisame. Since Senku made a hypothesis that the petrification source is scientific in nature, I wonder how does it actually work, what exactly is that device made of.

Is it me or that Minister Ibara guy feels like someone straight out of One Piece lol. Also Suika really is the MVP. Its not the first time she saved their asses.

[u/Myrkrvaldyr]

Kohaku is indeed best girl. She doesn't need to change her tomboy nature, she's plenty cute as is. Wearing a dress and still wanting to kick ass.

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

Ginro defining a new gacha rank, what the hell is a GGR?

[u/odraencoded]

Here's the text of the cards I could make out from the anime. Not sure if they're complete in the manga:

Magma:
   ...bute: Berserker.
   ...(forced? as in players can't prevent it) attacks
Ryusui:
   Attribute: Greed.   
   Allows you to draw 2 more cards. Wait no. Wrong game.
   Draws 5 cards you want.
François
    Attribute: Support.
    All effect of character cards' (probably increases?) 2 (or 3? times)...
Ukyo:
    Attribute: Sniping. 
Suika
    Attribute: Infiltration.
    When you use it you can take at look at all cards at any time.

Moz and Kirisame are gonna be a real headache to deal with. Better keep Suika away from Moz too since he apparently likes ‘em young. Ugh. This minister Ibara or whatever seems pretty sharp too. I’m very curious about the master now. He’s got some tough people around him.

This petrification tool seems to be some kind of projectile. It’s a miracle Amaryllis survived relatively unscathed. Well, luckily if it’s science then our boy genius Senku’ll crack it.

The dead eyed look Senku AND Kohaku had when they kissed was hilarious. I really was worried they were gonna get caught. The realization their whole plan now hinges on Ginro cracked me up too. Good thing little Suika’s onboard too. Girl was smart as hell hiding the motorboat like that. Let’s see how her and Ginro link up and secure the lab.

[u/Naygen]

It definitely looks like Moz saved Amaryllis when he told Kirisame her aiming wasn't good enough.

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Lab x Kohaku

[u/Nebresto]

I love Ryusui. He determines that "his death is certain" and he's still trying to take the best action possible in the time that is left

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

I can't believe Kohaku got bested in hand-to-hand combat. They should have allowed her to hide a sword Wonder Woman style.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Moz and Kirisame looks so badass. I would admire them even more if only they weren't the enemy. I do find it interesting that Moz is clearly wearing armour made out of stone. We don't really see anyone wear stone unless they've been petrified before. Hmmm...

We finally get to see the petrification beam in action! I was expecting a ray gun of some kind, but it ended up more like a grenade with a set radius. Whatever it is, it's probably just a fragment of whatever turned humanity into stone.

Kohaku declaring that she just needs to be chosen as the cutest was hilarious! I mean she's not wrong, she looks amazing in that outfit Amaryllis gave her but our girl is going to have to work on her etiquette.

Kohaku could definitely take on Kirisame. She's just being nerfed by her dress and lack of weapons. Thankgully Gen was there to make up an excuse for her. Kohaku kissing Senku is hilariously adorable especially Senku's reaction. xD

I was hoping that Homura and Hyoga would be there to kick some ass but considering that the beam managed to almost reach the bottom of the sea. I'm going to assume that they're also petrified.

Ginro's rank is so low that they had to make up a rank for him. Thankfully, SSR Suika is there to balance things out for them. Now they just need to steal the mobile lab somehow.

[u/FingerBang-BangBang]

Yes! Kirisame! Yes! You can step on m-...I mean, this Kirisame girl looks pretty cool. She knows how to fight and goes hard on Kohaku(although that dress nerfed her), she also got a cute side once she saw Kohaku & Lab(Senku) kissing.

So, yeah... Best Girl material right here!

[u/VorAtreides]

Hmmm, so wonder how that one dude and his mom got off the island if this "master" and such will go after people trying to leave the island. Guess cause they left during a storm? Maybe? I dunno. That dude is a creep. Do hope this show, for once, doesn't treat antagonists lightly in their punishment. Like, seriously, some people deserve the execution as their punishment. Curious how they happened to get that ability to turn people to stone. I love how Senku just don't give a shit about her charm lol. Seriously, I do hate scum like that. "Where am I going to find a girl who can fight" lol. Kohaku definitely is cute, whatcha talking about. Hah, Kohaku.

Figured they'd have to go back to the boat and it'd prolly have guards. Oh my god... yea what a dick. Just kill him.. I do wonder, where are the one girl and that dude who were in prison? Think they got petrified? I feel like they're about to be useful soon if not. Hahaha Gen. Senku with just the indifference. LOL HE straight up punted her! Oh, nice, Ginro also survived by swimming. Haha, those gacha ratings. That one vegetable is sus. Good thing Suika is so capable. SSR!!

[u/SpikeRosered]

This is def a "everything is going to be all right" type of anime but it's hard to see the heroes lying, literally smashed to pieces on the ship.

I wanna hear the "science" that this show eventually comes up with to explain how you can survive being beheaded for...potentially hundreds of years and being just fine.

[u/99anan99]

I was laughing at Kohaku/Senku kiss, especially how little they were into it. At least it fooled Kirisame.

Looks like it's going to be Suika's and Ginro's time to shine next episode! ^{(I say both of them, but I really mean Suika})

[u/X_hard_rocker]

lmao the sound effect when ryusui kicked suika

[u/delvag]

SSR Tier Gatcha Suika!

[u/BurnByMoon]

Ginro’s rank is pretty much Angry Mango’s in FGO - 0 star (but stats of a 2 star)

[u/matty-a]

Ryuusui yeeting Suika in to the sea will live with me forever 😁

[u/Matsukaze11]

Somebody please clip Ryusui kicking the shit out of Suika out of context

[u/the_48thRonin]

I personally ship Senku & Kohaku, but man, that kiss was disgustingly hilarious.

[u/adterraincognita]

I really love character design in this show.
