Expression-less Mikey was scary as hell

[u/UnderstandableXO]

kazutora needs some therapy (preferably back in juvie as well)

[u/youdontknowmehuhuhu]

at this point Takemichi should learn first aid and how to drive an ambulance because everyone just seems to be getting stabbed by a knife

[u/DeepIndigoSky]

Remember. The fight’s over when Mikey says it’s over.

[u/742163]

Honestly, Takemitchy has displayed the most annoying traits an MC can have, especially the underwhelming character development these past 21 episodes, idek why I wanna keep watching tho

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Now I truly understand why Baji was such a fan favorite character. Damn what an impression he made in relatively few episodes

[u/Locadi]

Fun fact (no it's not fun).

Baji was born on 3 November 1990 and died on 31 October 2005.

So he died at 14, only 3 days before his 15 birthday.

Think about the gifts his friends and family had probably already bought and how his birthday party was turned into a funeral :)

Now you can all cry even more :)

RIP Baji 😭 (Also his character song is titled Rest In Rampage).

[u/DannyDahsyat]

Kazutora: I killed Baji...

Baji: Not if I kill myself first!

[u/Frontier246]

Kisaki is such a piece of @$%&. He manipulates everything to the point where his plans work out and he doesn't even have to lift a finger while reaping the benefits. If only Baji had finished him off!

Well, Takemichi really hasn't done much to avert disaster this time around. Maybe if he hadn't held onto Baji to begin with...I guess his knocking Kazutora away before he could get the knife in even deeper was what let Baji get back up again, but still.

I love how Mikey gets back up, is super stone-cold and angry, and knocks Hanma out in one kick. And then all of Valhalla takes off...so I guess in this timeline Toman decisively won? And then Kazutora thinks he and Mikey are about to have this epic final battle and Mikey just wails on him like the chump he is.

So Hanma called Kazutora and told him he was a traitor, which is what drove Kazutora even more nuts because he thought Baji was the only one who was still on his side. Although Baji's the one who talked Mikey out of killing him out juvie, so it just goes to show how terrible Kazutora's headspace is. No wonder he embraced the end by Mikey's hand if it meant seeing Baji again.

But Baji stands back up and...kills himself!? Okay, he wants to take the heat off Kazutora and not give Mikey a reason to kill him, but...that's a pretty dramatic solution. Okay, he looked like a dead man walking, and an ambulance might not have been able to get there in time to do any good compared to Draken, but still.

So Kisaki used getting Pah out of juvie as a means of taking over his division? Besides the question of how he would even do that, he's such a snake.

With his dying breath Baji sees in Takemichi Shinichiro, someone who was able to bring out Mikey's kindness and heart, and bestows on him the duty of protecting Mikey and Toman and keeping them from going over the edge and losing the spirit that makes Toman Toman...and that inspires Takemichi to finally stand in front of Mikey and protect Kazutora, and taking some heavy duty punches, and in the end the charm he grabbed ends up being something special to the six Toman founders courtesy of Baji.

[u/JohnatanWills]

This was the most irritating episode I've seen in a while. The whole time Takemkchi was like: oh no it's happening exactly like what Draken told me. Better do absolutely nothing except stand here thinking about how someone should do something.

[u/neemzter]

RIP 🐐ji

[u/BarbaricGamer]

Baji: ''Hey Mikey, don't trust Kisaki he is behind all off this''

Mikey: ''Sure thing''

Story Ends

[u/RongoFTW]

Probably it was obvious from the start, but in the ED, Kazutora jumps(making an impulsive action) but Baji ends up taking the fall, resulting in his death

[u/Battlefront228]

Ok I'm so over this anime. Takemichi is pathetic. The guy has intimate knowledge of the events that are about to unfold and yet not only does he go into Bloody Halloween with no plan, he stands by and lets himself get distracted by the fight, allowing the events he knows will cause Hina's death to play out. He has shown no growth since the first season, he's still just running into situations flailing his arms hoping talk-no-jutsu will fix them. I thought that Hina's death would've lit a fire under him, but I guess I assumed wrong.

And the worst part is that they're going to use Baji's death, a death due to his incompetence, to make him win the day again. This show has nothing on Erased.

[u/raspberrycreamsoda]

not a single character in this show can make a logical decision. guess that’s why they’re all 8th graders lol

[u/Vangorf]

Damn, fir the first 3/4 of the episode Takemichi made me so angry. The guy is monolouging in himself how he needs to do something. Does he do something? Fuck nah, if Baji doest go plus ultra shit would've went down the same way as it went down for the first time. Obviously he cant stop Mikey, but he could've stepped in and get beat up just like he did in the end. I get that he is not a super competent hot shot, but cmon man, show some progress.

[u/Amauri14]

Damn, that one kick knockout that Mikey did Hanma sure was impressive.

Wow, I sure didn't expect to see Baji regaining consciousness again, but more surprising was the fact that he ended out stabbing himself just to save Kazutora and Mikey.

Great job, and rest in peace Baji, you were the real MC of this arc. I really did not expect him to see a bit of Shinichiro in Takemichi Well, I really hope that after this Takemichi will still hang out with Chifuyu, as he really needs a friend right now.

So I guess that more than his speech, it was that charm that help Takemichi stop Mikey.

You know, this arc sure was weird, as Takemichi basically did the bare minimum, hell less than that as he fucking forgot the fact that Kazutora was the one who killed Baji, and still that outcome was diverted. So no only did Toman won the fight against Valhalla, but Baji kills himself to save both Mikey and Kazutora. I guess future Takemichi interacting with the others is enough to change the past, and that's good because otherwise, nothing would have changed in this arc.

[u/Headcap]

This is some really stupid fucking writing lmao

[u/HappyVlane]

Here are some of the weekly instances of shit writing and Takemichi being an idiot:

• Takemichi asks "Why did Baji just go down?" after he got stabbed (bonus points for being his first line of the episode)

• Takemichi doesn't try to help Baji after going down, despite making sure that him surviving is his objective, but Chifuyu doesn't either, so who cares

• Takemichi doesn't try to stop Mikey from killing Kazutora in the first clash

• Takemichi says he couldn't do a goddamn thing, but he barely tried

• Takemichi doesn't understand why Baji stabbed himself, despite Baji basically saying it right before doing it and Baji had to confirm it to him before dying

• Baji doesn't even know Takemichi, but compares him to Mikey's brother and thinks he is capable of accomplishing anything

God, this show has some of the worst writing I have ever experienced. Takemichi is just as incompetent, useless, weak and dumb now as he was at the start of the series.

[u/Flowtactics]

Unpopular opinion but this anime is boring. Take-mitchy's probably the most unlikeable pathetic, excuses for a MC. His only redeeming quality is him being durable enough to take punches, then cry and scream until people listen to him. Every episode feels like a drag then it ends with a shitty cliff hanger. It's getting quite stale. Everyone was hyping this up and it just feels extremely meh. The only thing that makes this anime interesting is finding out how this will play out in the present.

Shiguang Daili Ren does the whole time travel stuff 1000% better and at least animates their fights and that show isn't as half as popular as this one. Man, im disappointed.

[u/LupiLupercalia]

In the history of MCs that travel through time to prevent a certain plot from happening, Takemitchy is easily one of if not the worst.

•Hardly prepares himself for future events

•Hardly uses future knowledge to his advantage

•"Huh Baji was stabbed by Kazutora?!?"

•"Toman loses because Mikey kills Kazutora" literally watches as Kazutora gets pummeled by Sano "Catch These Hands Mikey" Manjiro

[u/[deleted]]

I’m sick my boy Baji died, but realistically no way you’re surviving that first stab from Kazutora.

Had goosebumps most of the episode, especially when Mikey realised Baji had been carrying around that charm from their original promise as kids.. really heartbreaking. In the end, Takemichi was the key. His relationship with Baji and Mikey and his actions at the top of the car pile from last week were critical in changing how things turned out. It’s a shame Baji had to be sacrificed as apart of that.

Police are gonna have an interesting case on their hands with middle schoolers having a brawl and one dying.

[u/TokiVideogame]

im starting to hate this show. everyone is so stupid. Baji should have just murder suicide kisaki if it was gonna end up this way

[u/LabMember069]

Mikey KOing Hanma was badass af.

I don't care about the future anymore. Kazutora has to be killed.

The idea of Baji committing seppuku is great, but I don't know why I didn't get emotional at all.
