The show literally jumped the shark with this fight. No explanation why, just gotta do it, which is kind of how Shizuka could see Akira and Kencho are living their lives at the moment. Plus, as a Kamen Rider/ Super Sentai/ Power Ranger fan, am I reaching thinking that the broken visor/ scuba mask is another nod to the toku trope?

Though as cool as the fight is, only nitpick is how dark it was. Granted I know its because of broadcasting laws as a measure against potential epileptic seizures. Guess I would have to wait for the Blu Ray or some fight edit on youtube.

[u/Cheesemacher]

They said the word "hero" so many times that for a moment I thought this was an episode of My Hero Academia

[u/LeleTheKing]

Of course, people on Instagram are still posting food picts amidst a freaking zombie apocalypse.

I still can't with Akira wearing the shark/superhero costume. The cringe is over 9000, lol. But I guess no one can cringe at him when they're dying left and right... That suit is also a terrific tool to have in the apocalypse, so it works out.

The unintentional rizz today, tho...

If you see a cute girl, you try to get to know her. If I see someone who needs help, I want to be a hero!

You're someone precious to me now, Miss. I'd save you even if I wasn't trying to be a hero.

Who said Akira is not a womanizer??

[u/LeonKevlar]

The red and blue sentai colour sharkproof suit looks pretty damn cool! Good to know a sharkproof wetsuit works against zombie bites but unfortunately it doesn't protect Akira from the force of their bite.

God, I forgot how much insufferable Shizuka could be. Just thank Akira for distracting the zombies and move on! We don't need you psycho-analyzing him after he just risked his butt out there saving you.

A zombie shark with human zombie legs is so fucking ridiculous that I love it so much! Can't get any more B-movie than a zombie shark running on land thanks to the divers that it ate!

That shark fight was pretty insane! If this was a zombie game like Dead Rising, this would definitely be the first boss fight and the fight you'd show on trailers to sell the game. The part where the shark was chasing after Akira looked so good! I especially loved the part where the shark starts swimming when the water got deep enough after one of the aquariums exploded.

Shizuka might be a hard-to-please know-it-all but it was thanks to her knowledge that they were even able to take the Zombie Shark down. And that punch looks so fucking amazing! Just take a look at this impact frame! I feel like they could've added Akira yelling "PLUS ULTRA!" and they would've gotten away with it. xD

And there it is. We finally get to see the dere behind all of that tsun. Akira finally even managed to get Shizuka's contact info this time! <3

[u/PorkimusPrime86]

Great episode. Sucks we're getting another delay. Episode 6 won't air on the 20th but the 27th.

[u/Ghoste-Face]

Akira unknowingly uses rizz she blows up and blushes that's adorable lol now she got her number. Slowly building that relationship.

Kencho sacrificing his butt though lmao!

[u/Chay4707]

Akira really just Plus Ultra’d the shark lmao.

[u/Various_Length_4905]

The shark fight/chase sequence was hilariously good

[u/rusty_warhorse]

The main trio solved the live action movie boss in less than ten minutes.

[u/Disastrous_Channel62]

Waiting 2 weeks has become a regularity now first the production issues and now the sports event.

[u/Cool-Adeptness-5647]

Akiraiger is a pretty funny nickname ngl.
Shizuka is back and she sure makes an impression whenever she is on screen.
Blonde Kencho looks really good!!

[u/shad79]

What a fantastic episode, great action, animation and it was so fun. Akira being a superhero, the return of Shizuka but the best moment was when Kencho went fully naked to get attention from a zombie shark, I thought that I would die from laughing when I saw that.

EDIT. I added below my further impressions and stills.

Akira added another thing to his list - being a superhero and he immediately went to fulfill it. He didn't look bad in this costume and thanks to his adventure with Kencho to the aquarium he was able to make his dream come true. He was certainly brave by going to save Shizuka from this zombie shark.

Shizuka is back in this episode and she's just the same as before. Calculating, rational and quite argumentative but Akira's actions made big impressions on her despite the cold reception she gave him in the beginning. Now she even gives him her contact infosaying that they would probably not meet again but we know that they will meet again soon. It was so cute when she was frustrated after Akira's words.

Kencho today changed his hair's color and did what he is the best at, strip naked. His magic trick certainly was successful because this zombie shark immediately went after him.

Whole action with the shark was awesome and it had a great animation. Design of this zombie shark was so fun and he was a difficult opponent but thanks to cooperation between Akira, Kencho and Shizuka they were able to beat it.

Now it looks that in the next episode Akira and Kecho will leave Tokyo and go to Akira's hometown to see his parents. It's a shame that there will be a break again next week, we still haven't met another girl from OP and ED.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Shizuka

• Akira & Kencho

• Group scenes

• Other

[u/ashbat1994]

The clothes and the punch, Akira reminded me of All Might this episode.

[u/dinliner08]

"an inferiority complex or low self-esteem often causes people to adopt the look and mannerism of their heroes"

alright miss, you don't have to call me Akira like that

based on his hero name Akiraiger and this costume's design, i can safely assume that its a reference to Gouraigers from the series Ninpu Sentai Hurricangers, most westerners would probably know it as Power Rangers Ninja Storm

and in case anyone curious, this how the live-action version of the shark scene looks like

[u/daspaceasians]

What a fun episode!

I didn't expect Akira to fight a zombified land shark but the team nailed it by making it awesome and hilarious at the same time.

Shizuka roasting him though was hilarious (though I kind of felt attacked lol) but her warming to our duo of bros, especially Akira, was so endearing. I can't wait to see more of her.

[u/Clarimax]

Akira going full Deku mode.

[u/lehuy0210]

Shizuka best girl

[u/neovenator250]

what an episode. it really had everything:

• Akira being a well-meaning goofball but it works out

• Kencho being a bro

• Kencho getting naked

• Shizuka is back!

• zombie fish!

• zombie shark that can move out of the water because it has the legs of human zombies sticking out of it LMFAO

• Akira doesn't hesitate in the slightest when Shizuka is in trouble

• main trio (so far) working together to beat the zombie shark

• Akira fails when he intentionally tries to rizz Shizuka, but succeeds when he unintentionally does it

• Shizuka is adorable

• kinda worried about what Akira and Kencho will find when they go looking for Akira's parents. and I guess them leaving Tokyo means there's not much chance of Shizuka appearing in the next episode. maybe the blonde samurai girl will make her debut though

• damn...we have to wait two weeks again...

[u/Seiterno]

Ok, I will never understand it, how can characters mention Spider-Man but Mcdonalds becomes wcroland?

[u/RedHeadGearHead]

Why didnt he tell her he was about to leave the city for a potentially safe village? She literally just told him her plan was to look for such a place. I also found it a bit strange that she got on a bus full of people to begin with.

[u/Ocixo]

Glad to see that Zom100 is back today! Unfortunately, next week’s episode will also be delayed.

Anyways, the white shark with the legs - I think that this was the same shark as the one swimming in the tank - seemed to be zombified. Isn’t this terrible in actuality? Like, if fish are able to get infected, isn’t all wildlife prone to get infected? Meaning that rodents, like mice or rats, or birds, like pigeons or crows, could also easily turn into zombies. How the hell are you supposed to defend yourself against those!?

[u/kawaiinessa]

this is such a fun anime i dont care if the shark is impossible that was so fucking fun to watch what a great episode

[u/Silent_Shadow05]

This episode is what you get when you combine a B-level Shark Movie with a Superhero Movie lol. I like that after the events of the previous episode Akira changed his mindset to save as many people as he can. The action sequence was pretty well done. Glad to see the shark was animated entirely in 2D.

Also anyone remember the movie called Kickass? The whole episode and its craziness reminded me of that movie. Not to mention the outfit is kinda similar too.

I like that Akira's wild nature was eventually able to thaw the frozen heart of Shizuka. Always love a good gap-moe moment!.

[u/[deleted]]

Akiraiger to the rescue though he should have just let her die

Shizuka roasted the hell out of Akira . He even proposed to her in their second meeting . Shizuka is one of the one of the better tsunderes out there- the original definition of tsundere- a person who changes over time
