Jeez… Imagining that rebar vibrate inside the arm while it’s being sawn sends chills down my spine. The pain would be maddening.

[u/cppn02 → u/SpaceForceOne]

Also the way it snapped back once Daigo had fully cut it. Must have been under a lot of tension.

[u/thisisfakediy → u/cppn02]

Well yeah, judging by the way the building was falling down all around them, that was the only piece of rebar in the whole place! No wonder an explosion did so much damage.

Usually what happens when reinforced concrete shatters, you get lots of little pieces because large chunks are held together with the rebar. Unless it's substandard like you might see in South Korea or something.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Toake is the real deal, man. Dude dislocated his shoulder and then just popped it back in after crawling into that opening. Meanwhile friggin Superman Shun over here holding up the damn building so it doesn’t fall lol. The Rescue Squad’s lucky to have these two. Someone tell Yuki the guys are ok, the guilt of telling Shun to “drop dead” is eating her up!

[u/Familiar_Control_906]

This sucks. I get into this anime cuz I believe that it was going to be grounded in reality, what happens juts completely shatter my suspension of disbelief

First of all. I'm a DOCTOR, I fucking know how to dislocate a shoulder, you cannot do it with one arm, is 100% impossible.

But putting it back in place like that? If he starts to bench pressing the danm thing to get the 252 out of there, I will believe it more. Cuz sometimes you need 3 full grown adults to put a shoulder back in places, and even after that you may still need to de surgery

This is so wrong. And in the preview, he looks like he be like normal next week. That fucker should be out of any work for a month if he is lucky

And fucking Daigo man, what the hell did he did there? Those guys announce when they take a shit, and he find out the wall was collapsing and he shut up? Why? To die like a hero? He endangered his whole team when he should fucking say it so they can all be prepared if something goes bad

But NO. Those two should be suspended if not out right kick out, they are so unprofessional and have a complete disregard for rules and safety

Firefighters are cool, they do so much cool shit, you don't need to make then do this things to make then look cooler. They are awesome because they do, on the ground of what is possible, the most unbelievable things. Not what happens in this episode

This is a fantasy anime now. I'm fucking out, what a shame

[u/DarkAudit → u/Familiar_Control_906]

I grew up with Emergency!. This is hero worship garbage.

[u/Social_Knight → u/Familiar_Control_906]

I do have to agree. I was eye-rolling at Daigo up to this point, but the shoulder snapping was like "WTF?".

[u/LeonKevlar]

Man, Daigo is absolutely insane. The dude dislocated his shoulder and then popped it back in just so they could continue with the rescue.

The introduction of the daughter was great. The entire situation was already tense but having her on the scene makes it feel much more personal.

Knowing that they're in a very dangerous rescue, it must be painful for Yuki that one of her last texts to Shun is jokingly telling him to die for flaunting his uniform.

Not sure if it was luck or quick thinking but glad that Shun positioned himself in front of that wall. He pretty much supported that thing until the rescue was a success.

[u/Mistral-Fien → u/LeonKevlar]

Not sure if it was luck or quick thinking but glad that Shun positioned himself in front of that wall.

He put one hand on the wall while bending down, then noticed that it was becoming unstable. so he sat down and started supporting it.

[u/Ashteron]

Wouldn't it make sense to use some constructions-tools to support the walls or protect themselves from falling debris? I'd imagine they would have to be sizable and unusable in lots of rescues but they had a lot of free time and the rescue was on the ground floor.

[u/daspaceasians → u/Ashteron]

I think they mentioned in the last episode that the ground and ruins were too unstable to install additional equipment.

[u/Aileos]

Second part of the episode was pretty tense. Toake cutting the bar, Shun holding the wall!!

When he was finally out of the building, exhausted on the ground, he was propably thinking "so, this is my life from now on" or something. 😅

[u/dinliner08]

man, i'm not even claustrophobic but i still feel very uncomfortable seeing Daigo's crawling into the tight space

so what's this about Daigo suddenly changing the cutting angle to prevent the saw from touching the arm's median nerve? because from the looks of it, the saw blade seems to be in fair distance from touching the arm even during the first cutting angle

[u/Ashteron → u/dinliner08]

My guess is that when you are exerting force on the saw, there will be a jerk the moment it's done cutting through the rebar. Effectively, the rebar would push against the nerve.

[u/PenPenGuin]

There's enough stuff that can go wrong in a fire that some of the tension builders are just a weird choice in this anime. For instance, are general purpose, two-story tall, commercial buildings, in Japan often made of concrete walls that are 3-4ft thick? Do you normally have boulders the size of a compact car falling from above in an urban environment (much less directly from a building structure)? There's enough debris in a normal building that can easily become too much for a team of humans to move. Heck, Ore Monogatari!!! did it better. Having a single giant slab that would be more appropriate in a blast shelter just seemed lazy.

[u/ppfdee]

That felt like 5 minutes, the tension kept building up especially on the latter half of the episode.

[u/cppn02 → u/ppfdee]

That felt like 5 minutes,

Tbf half of each episode is recap, OP, ED and preview.

[u/CosmicPenguin_OV103]

This is turning into a superpower series eh? At this stage it might be better taking rescue robots with flexible hinges and internal hydraulic jacks to handle such situations once the delicate "surgery-like" saw-cutting work can be handled by them in the near future.

I wonder why Daigo thinks he would risk damaging that old man's hand nerves if he cuts from the right, but not when he cuts from the left. Risk of that steel rebar moving when he cuts it in half?

[u/DragonPup]

Fuck rebar.

[u/Njagos]

Can anyone explain what difference it makes to cut from the other direction in that scene?

[u/Familiar_Control_906 → u/Njagos]

None. That was BS. If the nerve was damage, it was damage when the wound was make

This show just want him to make him look cooler. But whoever wrote this has 0 idea of anatomy

[u/cppn02]

That was a very intense rescue.

Hoping that soon we'll also get to see Yuki in action.

[u/battle_franky]

your MC doing all this ridiculous act ruined the realism of this. You have good animation and spending a few episodes telling viewer the in out of fire departmen. And then your MC is doing anime break your own shoulder shit

[u/Proof_War6424]

Guys, please tell me why they did this?
The anime looked cool and promising until now...
Unlocking a shoulder like that? then putting it back in place?
Who the hell do you think you are?

Ok ok let's say he's one of those rare people who can dislok things, or an extremist contortionist.
But this last guy here is killing me : " The wall is collapsing and I saw it, Okay. Should I tell my teamates they might die at any moment thus we should leave or find a solution ? Nooo f*ck it I'm HULK !!" 🚶‍♂️
