(L) Akudama Drive

If Hoddlum manged to get out of that fight without injuries and even managed to deal some real damage on the girl executioner (note her eye at the end, or lack thereof) then I think he's the spy, because there's no way Hoddlum should be strong enough to pull that off. Even with her being pretty messed up from her previous fight, she should still be several orders of magnitude stronger than him. Unless he's an executioner himself and have been faking his loser persona all this time.

I'm starting to lean toward this theory as well. If he is the spy he might have chosen to injure her as a way to prove his loyalty to the group. Well that or genuinely cared started to care about Brawler.

That was some fight they had really went all out and did they destroyed a whole building

Cutthroat really is a madman and the Doctor really cant die

Well, she was shocked at the time, might have been enough for him to get a hit in. But yeah, I think he's still the most likely to be the spy.

RIP Master Executioner and Brawler. I can't believe Chinpira managed to actually get the drop on the Master's disciple though. Like, he's just a normal human. Against someone who is of enough capability to fight alongside someone who is faster than bullets. And he actually blinded her. How is the disciple going to survive the next ep or two with this standard.....


And how did both of the Executioner weapons end up in the hospital......Would have thought Chinpira would just steal the one he took (that's ignoring if he's an Executioner himself and turned against his organization of course)



On another note, Swindler slapping Cutthroat. Damn....that's going to end well.

Is it just me, or did this episode gives me strong political vibes? The police state's general structure is fairly similar to the Imperial Japanese military, there's a memorial honoring soldiers that died in duty no matter how right and wrong they did, and the Executioners dress like Imperial Japanese soldiers. I did learn a few crucial things as to how and why the Kansai police state operated and the senpai-kohai system helped lessen the potential causalties. It's a fairly dramatic episode and I can sympathize the Executioners somewhat but I can certainly relate to the black-haired female Executioner very much and contrary to her cold exterior, she's quite emotionally troubled. The tone switched to being very dark and her Master and Brawler engaged in a fierce death battle. It's never explained as why Hoodlum died or not, but my guess is that the Executioner girl killed him with rage. Next episode will dedicate to the shota and his imouto, I'll be learning more about their backstory. I also can't wait to see what happened to Hacker and his whereabouts.

I think the Chinpira survived. He's in the preview for next week after all....

And about societal commentary, the Kansai propaganda has blatantly shown that every ep lol. That memorial is just a cemetery of sorts

[Decel]

This is starting to get really interesting. The train part felt dull in comparison.

Thumbs up for people actually dying/leaving. I'm assuming Hacker won't be back, but his presence in the OP nags my certainty...

I can't imagine he won't be back. He left for Kanto, we still haven't seen Kanto at all and there's a good chance things aren't what they seem. Hacker will find this out before the others (and the viewers) and that will likely become relevant at some point.

[EroKing]

Not a whole lot of action but still a pretty gruesome episode. Wasn't expecting the doctor to be the one being the imposter. Can't really blame her for it, intentions being to get herself out of the Akudama list and no more death sentence. Wonder where Swindler and the imouto will end up with that rocket. Hacker is bound to show pretty soon too, no way his character was written for that short of a role.

Megumi Ogata playing a female character was too good to be true... Doctor confirmed as the traitor.

I'm really curious about the world outside Kansai. I wonder if we'll see anything interesting wherever this rocket ends up.

[grecefar]

why didn't he got in the rocket with them? the door was already closing, he didn't needed to sacrifice himself. Anyway looking foward to the next chapter.

Traitor or not, she's still female

I was surprised it turned out to be her. I thought she might turn on them because she was interested in the kids' immortality, but I didn't think she was the spy.

Speaking of the kids... that was one crazy backstory.

I have no idea what's going to happen next, and I love it.

[Master_Yoma]

So it was the Doctor didnt really expect her after killing all those people on the train

Swindler really now getting into deep

[Nostxlgia]

Okay, okay, okay. I never say no to a twist! I like where the show is headed by doing this, also I always felt the doctor was different somehow.. didn't actually think she'd help the executioners though.

Wonder what they'll do now that they're gonna be in space.. interesting!

They're not going to space, Brother apparently changed the rocket's destination somehow, given its inclination after it launched.

True enough but Danganronpa had a bunch of gags and hints regarding its (all star) seiyuu to where it should have been obvious that something was off about Doctor in hindsight.

[Cosmic Eagle]

A destroyed Moon, human offerings to Kanto, wow, this ep.....

Also, what the hell is Kanto anyway? Alien invaders? And where did Chinpira go during the fight. That guy's either super OP or super suspicious....And yes, he's supposed to parallel the rookie Executioner girl but damn, he's overtaking her already.

[Tuor]

Just thought I'd point this out: the Doctor is a traitor to the group, but she's not an Executioner herself. It's been theorized that there is a spy-type Executioner in the group, and if there is, he or she still hasn't come out into the open.

I was surprised she wasn't an executioner for the reason you stated, but I doubt there'll be another spy/traitor. The chief wouldn't have needed to enlist an Akudama's help if they already had somebody on the inside.

That's true, but we don't really know the Chief's goals exactly, other than getting rid of the A-Rank Akudamas. If that's her only goal, then having Doctor (who may or may not have provided reliable information) will probably be enough. OTOH, the show went to the trouble of having spy-type Executioners mentioned in one of their puppet shows; that might be a red herring, or it might be foreshadowing.

Oh shit Swindler got a haircut now shit is getting serious. Really nice growth for her character overall.
