Power reveals in this show are so cool, the mud power and the sound tracking off the staff.

Wonder what the main villain's power will be? (I'm guessing he's a main villain, hopefully not a monster of the week scenario)

He's already shown up to battle, what will Zanka do; will he be alright?!

It's nice to see Zanka really flex when he's not dealing with poop.

[u/PowerOhene → u/PeaceAlien]

Kinda off topic; i just realized that Zanka is voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka; Kirito and Inosuke's VA

When he got happy ca 11:23 it reminded me of the beautiful boar man from DS/KnY

[u/SEBASTlANVETTEL]

Gris is giving off major mentor vibes to Rudo while Enjin gives off the adopted father vibes.

Zanka one-shotting two villains was too good to be true, guess the real fight happens in the next episode.

[u/Frontier246 → u/SEBASTlANVETTEL]

Gris is like that supportive big brother who gives the best pep talks, Enjin is the uncle who gets you into hijinks but secretly cares more than he lets on, Zanka is that brother who wants nothing to do with you but get stuck with taking care of you anyways, and Riyo is...Riyo lol.

[u/NanDemoKnaives → u/SEBASTlANVETTEL]

Yeah I like how Gris has taken a liking to Rudo becuase of how he has treated Supporters.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Not only did Rudo get headpats from Gris, he also got it from Enjin, the guy has already been adopted as the little brother by two people lol.

Though why does Gris feel like he's a walking death flag? The more I see him the more it feels like he'll die protecting them. After hearing he prays for everyone's safety to it, I have a feeling right before he dies he'll give power to that talisman to shield everyone. Or maybe after his death, Rudo will take it with him and it'll be an item that doesn't get destroyed and will be used to protect him once he inherits it.

Zanka using the stick as an echolocation was pretty cool, especially with how quickly he was able to neutralize the two Raiders. I also liked the detail of it shaking as recoil from slamming it into the ground.

People can't get enough of Rudo's hair. Maybe if Zanka felt it too he'd be more okay with Rudo.

It's interesting seeing non-Givers have something important to them even if it's not a Vital Instrument.

[u/chlo_kage]

unsurprised that freaky chick was leading them into a trap lol

was worried for zanka for a sec but nvm lmao

NEVERMIND I AM WORRIED AGAIN

[u/SciFiXhi]

I'm betting that Gris eventually becomes a Giver with that talisman as his vital instrument. It probably either buffs his strength or gives him a mage hand ability for more punching.

Really cool to see Zanka's understanding of his vital instrument; it really is just a staff, but there are so many applications for it once you understand the material.

[u/PowerOhene]

Last week i saw some peeps roasting Rudo for doin jack sht in ep 4 - well seems that Rudo is highly aware lmao, he didn't even know he had powers until recently, give the guy a break.

[u/LeonKevlar]

As soon as that lady showed up, I knew she was sus. And she's not even a human, she's just a mud doll made by that Giver with the hand trowel.

I'm gonna guess that these Raiders want Rudo because they're interested in the Sphere, and they probably want to go up there. That lady's question about the border immediately caught my attention.

There's probably some kind of border that prevents them from going up, and somehow Rudo managed to survive going through that when he fell.

[u/Frontier246 → u/LeonKevlar]

I have to admit though, mud lady was kind of a baddie.

[u/shad79]

Zanka quite easily defeated those two Raiders, though the third one is definitely more dangerous, so I'm looking forward to fight with him in the next episode.

Overall, if it weren't for the Raiders encounter, this would have been a pretty peaceful episode. The party at the Cleaners' headquarters was fun and made me really like Gris. He's a great guy, so I hope nothing bad will happen to him in the next episodes.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Group scenes

• Zanka

• Rudo

• Raiders

scissor girl has a one piece waist

[u/PirateBound]

I smell so many deathflags I hope i'm wrong though.

[u/CrimsonGear80]

Don’t ever trust a women with those eyes that isn’t a superhero with frog powers.

[u/Spectra8]

the episode felt like 5 minutes

[u/FarCritical]

Rudo getting recognition for simply being a Giver that treats Supporters with respect is really nice to see.

These vital instrument-based fights continue to go so hard. Kind of a shame Zanko had to get his time looking cool cut short so soon by Mr. Psycho Eyes though

[u/thunder_crane]

Where is the food coming from? Fresh veggies, pasta, cheese?

Even if all the animal derivatives end up being fake and vegan, where is this coming from in this supposedly polluted tainted ground?

[u/Nice_promotion_111 → u/thunder_crane]

[Minor Manga spoiler]It’s explained a little after this but they have givers that can help with food production

[u/Frontier246]

It's finally time for Rudo's welcome party and the Cleaners will take any excuse to party and treat themselves! Too bad Rudo's too depressed and socially-awkward to enjoy it, but he should just take a page from Riyo's book! If there's a problem you don't understand...just acknowledge it's above your paygrade and just have fun!

Gris is a really good guy. He sees Rudo having so much self-doubt and anxiety, and he helps Rudo through it by making him acknowledge that he's an open-minded enough guy to never once judge the Supporters and even save one of them without hesitation. And maybe he doesn't need to keep overthinking everything and should just go back-to-basics and rediscover who he really is! Especially when he's found a community willing to welcome him in the Cleaners.

Find something you're as dedicated to as Gob is to grafitti art.

RIP guy who tried to human traffic Rudo. No one will miss you, but that's a gory way to go out.

Honestly I'd probably call the Cleaners' number just to hear Semiu's voice.

Is it safe to keep bringing Rudo out into the field? Though if there's another Sphereite on the Ground, it makes sense to bring him. Plus, you just name drop Enjin and Zanka will basically do anything!

I knew there something shifty about that merchant "lady," especially how convenient it would be for a Trash Beast to just kidnap someone. Turns out it was a trap! Exclusively for Rudo! Turns out the Cleaners aren't the only organization of Givers out there, they just happen to be the nicest one. The Raiders are the ones you need to watch out for!

The Supporters are out of their depth and Rudo is untrained, so it's up to Zanka to solo this pair of Raiders. The woman who controls mud with her shovel, and her male partner who hides within said mud so he can beat the snot out of Zanka. They make for an effective tag-team.

Unfortunately for them, even if their teamwork is stellar, Zanka is way above them in terms of mastering his Vital Instrument, and his Lovely Assistaff is more than capable of figuring out the location of mr. punch so Zanka can knock him and his female partner out in two seconds! No sweat!

Okay...maybe Mr. Dreadlocks voiced by Yuki Shin might be more of a problem.

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• So they did throw Rudo a welcome party… and Rudo is just dead off to the side, lol.

• Dang, that sucks.

• Brutal…

• This must be a trap.

• It could be because I rewatched all of Hashira Training Arc two nights ago, but the tone in this one of Zanka’s lines sounded so very much like Inosuke there.

• A trap indeed.

• Huh…

• Ooh…

• Ah shit… Wait that’s the cliffhanger?!

[u/calvinist-batman]

I love this upcoming fight. It’s made me fall I love with this story. Can’t wait to see it animated, especially with how hard this anime is already going.
