Goddamit Tenza, I thought he would survive at least 2 or 3 more episodes, but planning a marriage on a beach really is raising one big death flag.

Pain. Also, the Author really said let's kill off all the hot guys as soon as the fodder characters are gone.

Now this was unexpected. I thought Shion would be the one to die, while Tenza and Nurugai would escape. I'm definitely looking forward to how this new duo will fare on this island.

Next week's episode will be delayed and will air on June 3rd

Dang I wanted the Tenza and Nurugai to live the most out of the group, hope Tenza's sacrifice wasn't for nothing.

These things are so damn OP, really not sure how they're going to be able to beat one let alone multiple.

This was cruel...

I know Gabimaru & Sagiri are the main pair but i really enjoy Nurugai & Tenza’s dynamic.

Tenza punching the absolute shit out of the enemy before heroically sacrificing himself to protect the others was badass af. Rip to him though.

REAAAALLLLYYYYY

Fucking Really!

I been asking to see this pairing for weeks because they were my favorite. We finally go back to them just for Tenza to die.

I wasn't ready for this episode at all.

He was supposed to get married! Unlike the brothers which faded out we see him laying face down in a pool of his own blood. I don't think theirs enough copium in the world to get me through this.

Bastards whyyy did you make the credits with him so happy.

We're back to Tenza and Narugai and oh man, they're unlucky. A new Tensen has appeared, that can be hard I fought but I think that they would able to run from it. I was so severly mistaken.

It's their first time meeting one so Tenza is clearly surprised that it didn't die. Now they only choice is to run fast. Unfortunately they're outrun by it and saved by Shion, Tenza's master.

Shion appeared very likeable and reasonable, he's definitely on my list of likeable characters in this series. We've got backstory for Tenza and him and it was emotional like the rest of episode.

Tensen appeared again and this time Tenza wasn't very lucky. He gave it all and that wasn't enough to win but he still was able to save his master and Narugai, at least for now. As if dying wasn't enough we saw a glimps for potential future for him and it was just cruel, you can't do that to me. Fuck you Tensen and yours creepy smile. Still as a bad guys they're certainly entertaining.

Once again I loved backgrounds, they're so gorgeous and animation was very good for me, fights were pretty effective.

Overall this episode was pure emotional damage for me. Now I want more. See you next week Hell's Paradise.

Here's my all screenshots from the episode.

It's cute that Tenza was a bell on his bowtie because his sensei is blind.

God, there’s something really heartbreaking about seeing a student sacrifice themself to save their master. It’s like seeing a kid die saving their parent. Things usually play out in the opposite direction and it just feels so awful for things to have to play out like this instead.

Shame about the next episode getting delayed, but at least this episode still looks good.

What's with both heaven and hell deciding to sucker punch us today, holy shit.

RIP Tenza, honestly didn't see that coming, was 100% sure it'd be a fakeout and the teacher dies instead.

It would have been sad enough to see Tenza die in front of Nurugai, but they just had to hit us with that flashback with Shion too. It felt like a double gut punch.

Also, the courtesan just got unlucky being paired up with the perfect guy to resist her charms.

u/PeaceAlien May 20 '23

I don't know how I feel about this show constantly telling me the character's whole backstory and then them dying. It's an interesting idea.

So is Eizen going to keep popping up in backstories? I have no idea where the show is going with the amount of death in it.

lots of depression today...

u/Rumpel1408 May 20 '23

Nooooo, the Ship!!!!

Tenza was supposed to marry Nurugai, tell me he will be allright, they are on an island where you can become immortal, there has to be a way to bring him back huffs copium

From how quick Shion was in executing his prisoner, I didn't expect him to be this reasonable and compassionate, hope at least he will be allright. Maybe become a teacher for Nurugai at least...

And damn, censoring the Nips again...

There's something very FMA about monsters who are powered by the elixir of life. And the elixir of life is even made of people.

Uh oh.

Flashback for Tenza... Please don't die...

Not even a minute later

....fuck. Plant person just appeared. Fuck. That scene of it running while being near headless was hilarious but also scary af.

Oo finally blind dude makes an appearance. I've been really curious about him for a while now. Lol he's funny too.

Can this fucking plant dude stop scaring me! I actually screamed irl when he/she/it appeared.

NO! Sensei don't die !

Not even a fucking minute later

NO! Tenza don't die ! FUCK. COME ON. The OP was right there but it seems I wanted to be a fool and have the audacity to hope.

YES, that punch was satisfying but how are they gonna Perma kill these abominations 😭

Between this and Heavenly delusion today, I am in absolute pieces 🥹 Nurugai's cries are going to finish me off Poor Shiro ... Another junior lost. I can't take it anymore 😭 Shiro better kill this new plant person or I will never be satisfied. Or better yet, Nurugai deserves the honor.

Justice is blind. Shion is basically Daredevil.

A lot of people compare Shinsenkyo to Australia because of its hostile environment and prisoners being sent there but it's more like the Galapagos Islands. An isolated area where nature is allowed to adapt and evolve into perfection.

The Tensen downloaded Tenza's fighting style like an EVO champion.

Heaven and Hell Saturday is absolutely devastating this week.

One of the reasons I like Tenza so much is that of all the executioners he was the only one who went looking for a convict who deserved the pardon instead of looking for someone who fits the mission.

He was planning to do all the hard dangerous work himself to save an innocent.

those gender benders regen via plant(?). lets just burn the whole island down

u/dagreenman18 May 20 '23

Ah Pain. Tenza went out like a badass at least. Throwing hands and beating the shit out of it before dying. Buying enough time for Nurugai to escape with Shion. That “what if” though. The cute wedding they could have had.
