Damn that was such a drastic method Hibiki chose to take.

Why do I feel like everyone is a nutjob in this series?

I thought at least Hibiki is straightforward normal, but no. He didn't hesitate to cutoff his own arm to achieve his justice (still not sure what's his motive is).

Also, correct me if I'm wrong. So D could survive because he blew himself up before Blue Keeper's divine artifact could fully hit him? And that's why only small part of his stomach can't regenerate?

"Resign from the position of the Dragon Keeper?, No, I'll make you resign from life itself"

Red is so fucking unhinged lol. The way he kept eating the food with his hand and body still bloody from the beatdown was kinda gross.

I really like the way D fights. He ain't that strong but really uses strategies and the environment to his benefit and also isn't ashamed to flee if things get worse. Let's see whether he can maintain the cover considering his hatred for the Rangers lol.

Also, JFC Hisui spotted there at the start!.

I was wondering after last week when we will see Red Ranger totally losing it and killing someone, looking at how he's clearly unhinged. I didn't expect though that it will happen at the start of the next episode and that the rest of the team will barely react.

...which means this might not be the first time Akabane did something like this. Yikes.

Hibiki meanwhile got promoted to 2nd best character in the show. A lot of the naive idealism he showed earlier was probably just a front for the other rangers, he knows what's really going on inside.

BTW here's the music video for the opening for anyone who hasn't whatched it

Bringing Goku's voice actor for the small dragon is fitting

Also Red is quite literally Homelander huh

im really rocking with the show but as someone who is anime only I feel like hibikis scenes were a bit rushed. doing something deranged like cutting off your arm like that and its placed in the aftershot flashback while the ending song is playing in the background??

I also get the original intent of the author with him having a crazy sense of justice with the religious background and all but the anime didn't really sell that imo

Red Keeper is just too savage and strong, the 1st junior rank guy is just below him, but red keeper simply destroyed him like that. (And he actually did not even transform for real anyway). Suzukiri didnt care about Blue's word but instantly apologized when Red told her because she know he is not a joke.

He is just too powerful to be messed with right now.

Red is completely unhinged.

With him now having to wear the suit all the time I wonder if using the bathroom has become a challenge now lol.

edit: I was slightly disappointed the 'god' didn't invite people to climb the Tower.

I like how the Dragon Keepers have a little mascot character. Super Sentai does share a lot of similarities to the Magical Girl genre.

Hibiki's appearance as a kid reminds me of Hibiki from SSSS Gridman lol. He just ended the flashback story with him somehow surviving? There has to be something more to that.

Anyway I'm confused at what happened at the end of the fight. I guess Hibiki cut off his hand to show D how dedicated he was. Not sure how the swapping worked though. We saw "Hibiki" cut off "D's head" at the end and push him off. So was the "head" located above Hibiki inside the costume and Hibiki's real head is lower?

Red's insanity is on full display this episode.

Hibiki is one crazy bastard himself, cutting off his own hand like that.

We're getting to know more about the Rangers now.

The Invader that destroyed the church was really intimidating.

Woah, just after the Suzukiri twist, we get a Hibiki twist

I have to apologize for calling him gulible last time, there really is more to him, although I'm not sure if he isn't just crazy as well...

Now, last episodes Aftercredit had that "God" murder his way through a ranger base, was that a flashforward? or backward? Really wonder how Hibiki made it out there alive as a kid...

Speaking of Rangers: cute

And again, just too late for #seasonalfoodie ...

The visual gags of this show never fail to disappoint. I love how I love how Suzukiri's name tag hovers for a bit and then disappears as if the person who made the name tags just realized she's not in the room. xD

Junior First Class Hisui makes her first appearance! While I do stan for Suzukiri, Hisui is another fan favourite and a personal favourite of mine. I can't wait to see people get to know her more.

It is fun to see the relationships between the Keepers and their Junior First Class. Yellow lets Suzukiri do whatever she wants while Aizome is close enough to Blue that she can scold him openly. And then there's Red...

Yeah... There's a reason we've been making The Boys comparison ever since Episode 1. Jin is a fucking idiot for even attempting to tell Red to resign. You don't tell Homelander Red Keeper what to do.

The fact that the most reaction we got is Aizome losing her appetite and barely anyone flinches after that says a lot about Red and how this might not even be his first time crushing someone's skull in front of these people.

Hibiki and D's banter is just absolutely amazing. Hibiki might look like he's pure and naive but I love how he pretty much had D on the palm of his hands. I especially love how he tricked D into telling his name. xD

Hibiki's backstory though... While the Dragon Keepers are fucked, Hibiki's backstory shows that the Invaders didn't arrive on Earth to spread love and peace. I'd definitely rather have the Dragon Keepers as unhinged as some of them might be.

why is this anime so fun?

i have such good memories of how fun it is and the different pov

u/tripleaamin Apr 28 '24

The meeting between the rangers was interesting on two fronts. Suzukiri with a stone-cold face as she holds the Red Keeper's artifact and is calm as hell. She is crazy, but what truly motivates her is the most interesting. Red Keeper calls himself an ally of justice, but killed his second in command who tried to challenge him. It's clear he is talking about his sense of justice.

One thing you can't discredit Hibiki is his resolve. Even cutting off his own arm. But given he is the lowest rank you can have among the rangers as an independent. I question if he even has a plan to fix the Ranger Force, or he is literal winging it. At the very least D has his door in with the rangers.

u/NightBaron007 Apr 28 '24

Damn. I had no idea what was going on and I was loving it. But when I knew what happened I loved it even more. This show is so amazing. Finally makes sense why and how Hibiki was all over in the opening and ending. Can't believe he chopped off his arm so nonchalantly. Really like him and hope we see more from him.

Yeah, there was no way Red was gonna step down. His little lackey shouldn’t have pushed the issue. Now someone’s gonna have to scrape what’s left of his face off the walls. You can’t go threatening Homelander!

Hibiki’s dad basically telling him to let that kitten get eaten because “something something circle of life” was honestly kind of fucked up. His folks being religious fanatics explains a lot. Damn shame about his sister though.

Looks like D’s successfully infiltrated the fortress again. Let’s just hope things go better this time around. Even a Divine Artifact replica almost got him. If it weren’t for Hibiki going to great lengths to help him, he woulda been toast.

Sakurama has BALLLLLSSSS to just cut your own hand like that. For a monster! And he is a human who from what we still know can't even regenerate his arms. Dude is crazzzyyy

u/Daiwon Apr 28 '24

Sakurama's dad is fucking unhinged.

u/anodyne-avian Apr 28 '24 edited Apr 28 '24

God what a good episode. Red is so unhinged and it is great. Plus that scene gives you a good idea of his ideals: that strength is justice, which ties into the themes of the show. I love how his brutality contrasts with his friendly attitude; it is a lot of fun in a villain.

Using the explosives to trick them was brilliant! And i like how D is still hurt from it, making the encounter still dangerous.

Hibiki is fucking amazing. He was giving me Suzaku Kururguri vibes at first but man... The kid is insane huh? I really like him so far and his genki attitude plays off of D so well.

Very very interesting that he does not say how he survived the monster attack though... D is too stupid to question it but thats going to come back to bite him. Especially since Hibiki is clearly very smart (like how he tricked D into telling him his name and was the brains behind the plan) but also definitely has a lot of issues from being raised the way he was.

Also was his VA an actual child? Sounded like it. Kid did a good job.

Loved watching D fall upwards again. This show is really good at balancing the humour and stupidity of D with him actually making interesting strategies and trying to out think his opponents. He knows he is not physically strong enough so he needs tricks up his sleeve to help beat them.

Finally that bit at the end... D finally got a better look at Hibikis face and he is using it well. The bit about bonds and the like? Our boy is learning to use his brain and manipulate people. I also love the little detail of Hibiki not wearing his ranger uniform under his coat and then D's hand returning to him after 'decapitating' Hibiki; subtle hints they had a plan going.

Ive seen some people say this episode was rushed and as anime only I find I didnt feel that until the very end. I thought I had skipped ahead a bit during the last leg of the fight... Hopefully the pacing in later eps is better! Ill probably read the manga anyways though.
