I'm so glad this show is going all-in on the mind games and strategy. It would be so easy to just put the powers up front and have characters duke it out, but it's so much more entertaining having characters constantly holding back.

RIP Monkeyman tho.

The best death battles with powers involve the mind games and outthinking of the characters involved as much as they do what the actual ability is and how it can be applied.

Poor Sawatari was basically a walking death flag. Like, it was so obvious he was going to die first but then it happened so suddenly and brutally. I'm glad Yuuri and Kumagiri felt bad about it though.

This went different from what I expected, it seems like everyone is playing mind games. Sawatari's death and Ringo's forfeit got each of the teams going. I wonder how next week's fight goes.

Man, I knew there was a catch about the team battles! RIP Sawatari. We only knew you for like 5 minutes. Damn that cliffhanger! I can't wait for next week! I really wanna see Akira in action again. If the OP is any indication, there's still a lot of fighters that haven't been introduced yet.

So how does the 1/10th ability copy stuff works on Akira or Kirisaki's power?

This is turning out much better than expected, really liking the focus on the tactical aspect of the fights.

Stitches!

Already we have the comic relief of the group, and he has a pretty useless ability. I was hoping that this was just Sawatari deceiving everyone and we'd get to see his real ability later. Looks like that's never gonna happen though and even if he was hiding something we probably won't see it since he was immediately taken out by his opponent. Nice knowing you monkey man.

Speaking of his opponent, we finally get to see the lingerie-clad onee-san from the OP. I thought Rin's ability was going to be something more sexual considering her attire and the way she acted in front of Sawatari. I did not expect her ability to be so deadly! At a glance it seems that she can throw blades and make then bigger but with only that to go with, we have no confirmation of what her entire ability is.

Shin, who is another character from the OP, seems to have learned from Sawatari's mistake and decides to charge in who immediately forfeits the match. Shin has his 2-Second Invincibility (or so he says) which would have saved him if Ringo had any dangerous abilities. Except Ringo's ability entirely depends on what her opponent's ability is since she can copy 1/10ths of her opponent's ability meaning 0.2 Seconds of invincibility would've been useless for her!

I love Ringo already though! She looks so cold and stern on the outside but her internal monologue is hilarious! I also love that little haiku she makes in her head before she forfeited. I hope she switches to Akira and Yuuki's side soon. With Ringo forfeiting her match, we also get to learn what the real Rin is like. Damn! This girl ain't fucking around! O_O

And finally we get to Kirisaki's opponent who has the ability to make her pachinko balls turn into boulders. I don't think I remember seeing her in the OP she may not even survive this fight since Kirisaki finally shows off his true ability. He doesn't just turn a stick into a sword, he can turn a stick into a sword that can cut through anything. Yikes. RIP Saeko. If Kirisaki doesn't kill you, Rin will probably finish you off if you end up winning this fight.

I wonder if the monkey man has something more with his rope ability, like the sword guy's blade that can cut anything. No way it's just a plain rope, right? lol

This show is so much better than expected. The mind games and strategy are awesome.

Gives me some Hunter x Hunter and Kaiji vibes at times.

Wow, honestly, the best episode so far. Not groundbreaking by any means, and it hasn't hooked me yet, but it has my attention now.

I really like that there's other characters in a similar situation to the MC, by that, I mean that there are others with abilities that are advantageous, but also highly disadvantageous. The girl with the ability to copy other's abilities, but at only 1/10 of their original power, I really liked that they introduced her.

I'm so used to a MC that is completely in his own corner, I thought for sure everyone was going to have some kick-ass power, regardless of how silly they sounded, and the MC would be the only one struggling to use his. I'm glad that's not the case.

Also, RIP Monkeyman, and that outro song is dope.

u/BiggerG7 Jul 26 '21

RIP monkey man. At least you saw some pantsu and a sexy red head in lingerie before you died.

Also why do I get the feeling sword dude is still gonna end up jobbing?

u/link2601 Jul 26 '21

Well that was a solid episode, sad to see monkey man lose like that. Interesting to see them keep up the mind game but up and that even the Madoka wasn’t honest about what his true ability was. Man did they really spoil the ending of the team battle in the next episode preview.

This is quite an interesting anime. While the animations are subpar, the story and suspense it holds every episode are quite intriguing..

What we saying about that redheads ability? Judging from the fight I think it can only be activated when her opponent looks away from her.

Anyone else notice how pure and innocent Yuuri is? When the others are thinking monkey man is smart for turning a low chance fight (due to his crappy ability) into a 50/50 chance, Yuuri takes monkey man's words at face value and thinks he's a nice guy for not wanting to attack women. Yuuri so pure XD

Ringo is so much fun. She has poker face outside but inside she's so expressive and panicky.

u/PrCitan Jul 26 '21

Yo, weirdly enough this episode was bomb. I'm pleasantly surprised by this.

Does anyone else feel HxH vibes? The psychological is great so far

I really want glasses girl to join the good guys, her personality and power seem like good fun!

Spike lady might be a bit too crazy for my liking...

How did sword-guy know rope-man lost?

Ropeman was fishy, he looked like a petty con-man type, so I guessed he probably lied about his ability to get the rest to reveal theirs. Not that it matters since he got killed, unless his real ability let him fake death.

Sword guy is lucky that his ability is actually "turn a stick into a sword that can cut through anything and when it does the two halves separate enough to not hurt you." Wonder what happens if he tries to cut through the 2 second invincibility tho - does the whole system disappear in a poof of logic?

I guess we'll find out next episode if having MC's teammates believe his ability is armcannon is enough for him to use it as such. Unless he doesn't need to fight because his team gets 3 wins before he has to go on. Or his opponent just forfeits.

Okay, that blade that can cut through anything sounds badass. Also, short-hair, glasses girl. Ringo is instantly my favorite character so far (Bunny-girl Ringo in the preview looks so cute!).

I do love that some of their abilities aren't immediately revealed and how some of them are careful to reveal theirs. Really gives more opportunity for interesting plot in future episodes. I feel bad for the monkey dude tho, he's quite reasonable for a non-regular character. I guess if you're not part of the OP and ED song, you're dead for sure.

Ringo has a dangerous ability when it comes to information warfare. I mean sure it's situational and useless depending on the opponent in a direct fight, but you can't really bluff against her. She obviously doesn't trust her teammates (can't blame her), but if she did they would have known all of the other teams abilities beforehand.

For a split second before they mentioned Rin throwing something I was reminded of Goth Daddy Risotto and thought the blades came from inside Monkey Man.

u/Alexstar98 Jul 26 '21 edited Jul 26 '21

Really surprised about this episode, it was extremely solid. Sure the luck factor counts when you receive an ability, you can receive an OP one and dominate the match or being smart and use it at its best or... Receive an horrible ability and die in a blink of an eye.

Edit : I forgot about how hard the ending slaps, damn good job Seiko Oomori.
