| Boji is awesome this episode. Using just a fencing sword to take on someone several time his size but beating him in the end. Kage was also fun to watch and they make a good team imo. Hiling was also quite amusing to watch this episode. Pretty entertaining episode. I'm just glad to see Boji doing well again. |

| Man, Dorshe REALLY had it coming for him: his devoted protection to Queen Hiling while being tormented by beasts...and the return of the Snake, which leads to Bojji and Kage reaching on time. A worthy sacrifice for the greater need, and Kage's Doraemon ability to get the potions he had stolen and kept for a long time, now being used for good. Looks like Bojji's been taught good by Prince Despa, as such with the example of a diamond having its DNA be fractured to show Bojji the way. And now with his small fencing sword, he's able to stop the green goblin hulk Gigan with just the slightest of actions. Atta boy, Bojji, how much you've grown. Truly heartwarming to see Bojji and his mother Hiling reunite, though Kage didn't take too lightly of how Hiling just dismissed him without knowing the context, and a good thing that all grievances are settled then and there between all parties. Probably the first time we see Hiling blush beet red. On the other side, the Underworld's Guard captain vs. the immortal Ouken, and it took Despa's lightning to bring him down. The once formidable and happy-go-lucky man affected by negativity, humanity isn't so much saved anymore, and for Ouken that's his case and fate. The fate hangs in the balance between King Desha and Miranjo, looks like the war starts with them attacking at the very source. It's episodes like these which are too good that feels too short, and I wish I could watch this on a binge. |

| damn 2 episodes in a row that the animation quality drop to mid levels, i guess their production time buffer is now all gone huh so production schedule is tightening moving forward Boji got a new friend and servant with Gigan and King Deshas power is calling lightning strikes eh |
| I'm no fan of Bojji's action style in this episode to be honest, seems more like the kind of thing a Shiki Tohno could use more to be honest from Tsukihime. The episode dragged for me for sure and doesn't look at its best but still looks good enough overall to do the job for these episodes before the big climactic ones for this season. It was nice seeing Hiling reunite with Bojji and be on good terms with him again, she's had a lot of introspection to do about her relationship with him and how much she cares for him and it shows. She even accepts and bonds with Kage despite their clashing personalities and worked her ass off with healing and using her powers over and over in this episode. Saving grace of the episode for sure seeing how her character's come along. Dorshe too had his good moments here as well. Bojji's characterization though doesn't really scream to me yet and the fighting style and how rushed that idea of training was makes him still feel hollow to me and me not really be excited for seeing him in battle doing the protecting for once, especially since he felt like a side character for a good chunk of these latest few episodes. I get the fighting style approach, but it feels contrived for me and not my thing with how the series executed it with his lack of screentime and progress shown in his development over time. At least he's got the spotlight back on him now with many elements to the story established now in the mean time. Better pacing would have helped with all this but that's just my opinion. Still feeling really indifferent to this series right now, this episode was okay but not as impactful as I would have hoped for barring the Hilling character arc cycle and felt a bit boring at times. |

| Liked this epiosde really. What happened to Dorshe was quite brutal; my man still tried to keep going despite missing an eye and a leg. Bosse loves both Miranjo and Hiling but feels conflicted between the two. For now tho, he chose Miranjo. I look forward to more of his characterization. Hiling and Bojji's reunion was not as heartwarming as I was expecting but good enough. Bojji's action sequences seem like a bit of a step-down compared to his previous fights; hope that improves. Overall, the fight seems to have resolved and the Gateway to the Underworld is about to be explored. Some nice setup there. Looking forward to the next one. |

Bojji and Hiling reunited so precious!!  |

| Great episode! Dorshe uses all his strength to try fight back against the monsters even though he lost a leg. The snake Hilling and Boji saved came to save them both and instructed Queen Hilling to heal Dorshe which she did. Mitsumata unfortunately sustains a lot of damage trying to protect them and before he can get 1 shotted by that horrible orc monster, thing Boji and Kage save the day and provide more potions so Queen Hilling can heal him. Boji and his fencing sword took down that monster instantly!!!!!! His training really paid off it seems. Kage crying after Hilling insulted him by accident, not knowing how many times he saved Boji's life was funny xD. She got Dorshe to apologise for her lol. The monsters were being controlled but they were healed and fine now. The big green orc was called Gigan and he has now swore his loyalty to Boji! So Ouken knew the effects of immortality and he was a nice person it seemed. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Not gonna lie. Even if I'm the biggest fan of Ousama Ranking, this episode felt pretty weak the way it was handled. Kage came in more stacked than an NPC merchandiser with MP potions. Queen Hilling managed to save everyone including MIranjo's beasts. Bojji made Giggan switch sides (although I'm expecting him to switch back anytime later on). Despa avoiding to face Ouken face to face (although I'm expecting a valid explanation down the way). Probably the only thing I liked about this episode was the information of how Bojji manages to shatter atoms and the cliffhanger of Desha finding the road to the underworld (whatever that means). Still, even if this is the lowest point of the series, in metrics is not as low at the highest peak in my books. |
| Overall a good episode and I'm enjoying the series so far despite the animation getting more sluggish in these past two episodes. My only complaint throughout the series and especially prevalent in this episode is "is anyone going to actually die?" The queen is so OP for healing and while its a cool ability, it takes away from the stakes of the show. She heals the knight lady, her bodyguard, the giant snake, and all the attack dogs, with little to know strain. She runs out of MP and then has to chug down mana potions but there's no long term affects to her health. When you think about it what are the stakes when she can literally heal anyone and afterwards be pretty much fine. |
| My heart can't take this at all... All I see is how adorable Bojji is. He even tried to help with all that fire when he didn't have any strength, that was so cute. And, then Hilling giving him that hug was so precious. Hilling is Bojji's real mom. I love her so much. Kage is the best friend only a few people can dream of. I love all these characters so much. This show is just too freaking pure. I love it. |

| @Rolls2122 @Dukino @MiniFreeza found this on reddit about sakuga said: Fairly consistent with the source material (as mentioned), but the episodes are far more reserved production wise - I think it doesn't really elevate what is happening (especially emotionally) as well as it did in the first cour, which would be the source of your concern. That being said, this is fairly consistent with most shows that continuously air for two cours straight - the middle episodes are competent but not as strong as the ones that surround them, essentially. I wouldn't worry too much, from what I've seen the production is still ahead of schedule (and certainly not melting), they are likely just prioritizing bigger episodes. This episode was outsourced (I believe Prod IG similar to episode 8?) - but some of the previous big names; such as Gosso (ep. 7) and Imai (ep. 9) for example, have hinted at working on future episodes too. So definitely lots of juicy bits to come! I still really like what is happening, just presentation is not as spectacular as before for these past couple, but that should be changing soon enough! https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/s8o89w/ousama_ranking_episode_14_discussion/hthpzke/ |
| Honestly for me this second cour has been far inferior to the first, it feels like every episode drags on and not much happens besides some rather lackluster fights. The animation and overall direction too seems to have fallen a little. I hope now things develop more because not much happened between this and the last episode. |

| YES THE 2 (or 3...?)-HEADED GIANT SNAKE DIDN'T DIE THANK FUCK For the show to really excel and to keep its identity, it'd be preferable to have the focus primarily on Bojji most of the time. Of course all these more side plots about the kingdom and the conspiracy surrounding it are by no means not interesting and are no doubt crucial to the overall story. It just feels in the past few episodes, Bojji has become Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit movies, pretty much taking a backseat in his own show. We Bojji's presence to remain prominent, with all the other story lines converging on and supporting him. It's not really an issue, more of a nitpick really, and it's been laid to rest for at least this episode with Bojji getting shit done. I just hope that whoever wrote this story did not lose sight of Bojji in the grand scheme of the overarching story. Because I think for most of us, it was this little guy that made us come to love this show. |

| This show really has gone full shounen now, hasn't it? This is where I suspect people will start to lose the hype, which I saw coming from a hundred miles away, mind you. The average fights, the ass pulls (literally, Kage saving the day with multiple potions which just so happened to be the ones that Hiling required), the just in the nick of time moments, the sympathy and changing of sides after defeat, etc. The pacing and direction of the show has gone down the drain as well. |
MiniFreeza said: I didn't have any doubts that it would get back to its original level soon, but thanks for the Info ;) I believe in WIT Studio, they're my favorite anime studio so I know they'll do it justice, and a few episodes a bit average aren't gonna make me lose faith. Bring it on, WIT Studio ! <3 good for you but i thought with the simple character design that are easy to draw for animators then they can be consistent with the sakuga fights whenever there are fight scenes at least the 1st cour totally spoiled me i guess |
| Bojji saved the day! I'm so happy, this episode is just fulfilling. I can't wait for the next ep. |

| This is the first episode I would call bad. All the healing and banter wasted the tension built in the previous episodes, and the way Bojji finally showed his growth to Hilling/Dorshe seemed more silly than cool. The dialogue was hella stiff too, especially between Kage and Hilling (what even was that?). Also, Hilling's almost tsundere behavior with Bojji felt out of place. There should've been more crying, less talking there. The last few minutes came in to save the episode, with some actually interesting stuff going on with Despa, Desha and Ouken. |
| Bojji finally arrived at the castle and showed the results of his training with Despa. Thanks to his current strength he even gained a new servant. I'm looking forward to the next episode! |

| This episode continues to confirm to me how absurd Ousama Ranking is despite the high praise I'm seeing from the majority of the masses. Kage somehow be stashing shit into his Doraemon-like pockets like some heavy duty MMO gamer. Boji out here like Luffy turning baddies into good guys to be part of his crew. Nobody notably important died here despite all the hilarious cases of false death flags. The fighting was still so dragged out. The training with Boji didn't felt like good payoff because of how convenient the results turned out to be. At least Hilling's segment was nice. She was the only character I found myself caring much about. |

| I understand it's a fairytale but healing a demonic beasts which just moment ago were devouring your friend alive? Ridiculous. |
| Ouken: immortal, invincible and possibly with an unbreakable molecular structure? I'd say he could be considered every warrior's antithesis, not just Bojji's. |
| On one side we have the kindest Bojji who's growing up strong while on the other there's Ouken who used to be kind but has now lost himself all too powerful. Hope Bojji does not turn up that way. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
