| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That fight was fast; the aerial attack I mean. It looks like episode centers around Keiji which also means it takes a bit back to the first few episodes. Action was like a boxing match so I wasn't really surprised with the way Keiji is fighting. He has a lot of support though. |

| Kanako needs more action. |

| Did they add back all the build up material to these fight? |
| FALCON PUNCHHH! |
| . |
| Sheeees all that talk about a weevil vs a mantis shrimp, very unnecessary. |
| bit of a slow episode but i really liked keiji's backstory |
| ..........................Meh |
| Glad to see that my boy Bro Keiji the badass boxer got justice in this episode. His story was adapted beautifully just like Adolf-san's :'') Yeah the episode was slow but this series is very exposition based so this was expected if they adapted it right I guess. The fight was very enjoyable and dat KO was perfect 2 more episodes left....I really hope that they backtrack next week to show how they all got in that mess because thr Ant that Shokichi will fight is VERY important and the buildup they possibly skipped is essential to this |
| I'm pretty sure he should actually kill the roach... |
| This was a flashback-heavy episode even for the show standards. |

Hollweg said: This was a flashback-heavy episode even for the show standards. Yeah, and I liked it - somehow I don't remember it from the manga, but enjoyed watching the episode. A simple story, yet likable and easy to relate to. |
| That was a long flashback, but the boxing part was great. |
llcruz said: It could be used for research for the special cockroaches. One of the reasons they went to Mars was research after all.I'm pretty sure he should actually kill the roach... Slow episode, but cool backstory. Only 2 episodes left, but nothing major is happening. I'm rooting for a second season a little bit so it could focus on the main plot without the flashbacks. |

| Great episode, I liked the adaptation of this part of the manga, I like characters like Keiji, and his struggle was also good, now I'm waiting to see how they will finish the anime .. |
  |
| WTF I just realized there's only 2 episodes left I know this anime has gotten a lot of flak for the censoring early on but I really hope it gets a season 2. |
The best anime is the Road to El Dorado |
| With current pace and a lot of flashback, how can they manage to finish this season nicely? .___. |

| Don't mess with an Onizuka, bug. The mum really told Keiji more than he wanted to know about his dad, LOL. |

| Quite an amusing episode. The story in this episode center around Onizuka Keiji. The real boxer who won against Terra Formars. |
| peacock mantis shrimp eh? that's one mofo shrimp with mortal kombat punch |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| So plain...his driving force is so modest. This is this man. Onizuka Keiji - The Boxer. Prepare yourself. Amazing episode 10/10 |
 |
| The manga is more better , but the anime version is quite good anyway :) |

| badass. this show expresses itself so differently to other shows |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Onizuka Keiji. Love his back story. It's so plain, but after all the shit that happened with Adolf and the likes of Alex, Marco and Sheila, plain seems the better option here. Loved how the narrator was doing the introductions for Keiji and the bug like some boxing match. It was funny as heck. His battle abilities were a great sight to behold too. KO on the bug. Funny as heck. One not-quite-related question for those in the know... asking from a non-manga reader perspective 2 episodes left. After all the effort bringing us into this world, are they gonna leave us hanging??? I demand a season 2! |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| At least Keiji didn't die !!!!!!!! T___T |
| Two more episodes of this...hrm, I'm wondering how this anime will end. Wait, I think that's a little too early for me to say that... |
| Could've been a bit better but not the worst episode of this . I too would like a second season but if not I guess l will flip thru the manga |
| I was half expecting him to somehow get killed while he was showboating at the end.. |
| ---------My Profile------------ |
| I actually enjoyed this episode. A lot. I really like all these backstories. ˇ-ˇ |
 |
| Keiji's past was pretty amazing, somewhat emotional too. |
 |
| If Keiji has died, I'd have flipped the table. Him surviving makes the episode good enough for me. |
  |
| Not bad, quite liked this action! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Not bad character Onizuka, episode cute enough for the background built in such a short time, but in doing so the main story remains at stake, and we are at the end of the TV series. What a pity that there was more involvement this season, very disappointing for the wrong choices within the narrative. Oh well, we will pull due consideration to the end. |
 |
| new character.. new flashback! same old same old lol. But damn it took an entire episode... |
 |
| Hajime no Keiji LOL I was kind of hoping he'd be a fisherman just like Makunochi Ippo in Hajime no Ippo lol I'm not sure what happened with Keiji not eating dessert and rice? I think he's trying to watch his weight just in case he goes into a fight? Is that what Michelle meant by, "at least eat some dessert. You really are a boxer." Then it zooms in on uneaten food. |
| 臭い- |
| His past wasn't as tragic as I was hoping for, but I do like Keiji 3/5 |
 |
| At least he didn't die |
 |
| I won't be surprised if he dies immediately in the next episode, when he lifted his hand and started smiling, until the very last second I thought something was going to kill him |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Keiji's backstory with his mom and his sweet personality reminded me of Volg from Hajime no Ippo. |
  |
| Half the duration of this episode talking about his backstory. And then another half about him boxing with a cockroach? :| Another thing is, why every other episodes have an army of cockroaches; but this episode only has one? I don't like this episode..== |
 |
| A truly simple motive indeed~ He's a very admirable person and a very good boxer. His PR manager unknowingly struck a nerve there. When the Weevil Roach uppercutted Onizuka and surprised me with the sudden end of the match, he said the exact words that were in my mind when he got up lol. It's been pretty recent since I've read about the Shrimp Mantis in a horror manga. Thankfully, Keiji doesn't see the same stuff the guy who had the same eyes have seen. |
