Kira is absolutely insane. He's a monster but when you had a dad like that...

Also Taira...something else is going on here, he's not the pacifist that he portrays to Sakamoto. Something is going to happen with him.

So when he hit his head he got himself convinced that this is a game and not reality, returning his full capacity in game during fight until he regained his consciousness when he defeated him huh? Nice one.

He's psycho as currently he is, but I can sympathize with the kid. But if I was Sakamato I'd just kill him and take his chip obviously, but let's hope keeping him alive will work in his favor in future...

Considering..
Kousukes past, abusive father who abuses him sexually, physically, berbally, emotionally...yeah id be the same as him. Lol that crotch grab was pretty interesting, didnt think he got abused that much BUT THEN the scene after that made me want to punch his dad in the face. Any parent that abuses their son, THAT THEY MADE, does not deserve nice things. Id know...my dad is a total d'ck!
And all of you haters saying kousuke shoukd die, you should get your head out of the gutter.
Put yourself in his shoes. Where you do NOT know right from wrong, and all your life your own parents have been destroying you from the inside out. Then tell me, were those things he did really wrong? Ofc they were, but in his eyes they werent,seejng how thats all he knows of how to cope with his problems.

So Ryouta can enter an offensive mode and play for real... Perfect! That's how I want to see him.
Looks like next episode Himiko will join the crew :D

It doesn't matter his past or how anime the anime physics are. I like Kira too but he should've been dead after that explosion.

That's so fucked up. With 14 kill and rape? Wtf.

The death of Kousukes father was brutal, but this kid is so crazy. The fight between him and Sakamoto was nice, also if Sakamoto was about to kill Kousuke. He was in his gaming mode for a while and didn't noticed it was real. There you could see how good he's at Btooom.

The ohter question is how Kousuke didn't die in this situation? Sawashiro Miyuki made this kid even crazier with her voice. :D

Next episode a fight between Sakamoto and Himiko? Can't wait to see this.

the new name of this anime is rapetooom. Seriously rape was just used two episodes ago. How about not using it. Im happy the father got what was coming to him to bad it was before he created this little monster of a child. Seems like ryouta just mind snapped mid episode and boy that snakers sure looks yummy lol.

Why does the MC in such animes always have to be such a pussy!

You're on an island where instructions to kill or get killed were given and you're confronted by a deranged kid who's made it clear he intends to kill you and you're too busy debating on whether it's right to kill someone?! Are you kidding me!

If this was realistic Sakamoto should have been killed a long time ago!
I don't know how anyone could possibly take soo long to come to a decision which to me seems simple enough, it's another thing when you're blackmailed into killing an innocent person, but someone who has already attempted to kill you the decision
Should be clear,i wouldn't hesitate to kill him right there an then in order to survive !

It's sad that this is the case in most animes (or maybe I've just watched the bad ones)

I do hope he grows a pair of balls in the next episode and does what needs to be done

Also if anyone knows of an anime where the MC isn't a pussy when it comes to deciding to kill bad guys please DM me :) thanks!

At least the episodes are getting better since the past ones were average imo. The action was good. The kid who killed his own father lost his mind lol.

WTF. That child did that? To dead bodies? Yaaaaa'll....
OH no. I'm horrified, I'm way too easily horrified by these kind of subjects. But I have to keep going, because if I don't, i'll leave Btoom on an unfinished note like last time... I'm glad his dad is dead. Man, if Sakamoto kills the kid... Wait, did he kill the kid?

Ok this was a good anime but did we REALLY have to see a dad grabbing his son's balls? I get its supoose to show what a basatrd he is and all, but come on we already had a backstory about a girl who left her friends to be raped, Hell even SAO II didnt have this much rape or creepy vibes in it!

Damn. I feel like that kid wouldn't be like that if his father treated him differently. Makes me wonder about the whole "nature vs. nurture" debate. If things happened differently, he could've been a great ally for MC (along with Himiko).

Another fantastic episode.

The child is clearly insane, but all of his motives are clearly defined. From the abuse of his father, to the ideologies of his father. Everything the child does is justified as far as plot goes -- there's reason to it all. Which is nice storytelling. Certainly makes for a good antagonist.

Although, at this point, it's not like he can be redeemed, right? I mean... he killed and raped innocent women -- murdered the little froggos -- tried to kill the MC out of amusement -- the only morally justified thing he did was kill his father, which I'm sure some people would still make an argument against.

Obviously, I don't like the kid, but I do have appreciation for the character. It's a nice combination too -- putting a murderous psychopath on the island AND a child ... and I guess ALSO a victim of domestic abuse.

I like how episodes 1, 2, and 4 all featured a unique antagonist -- and how each episode ended with a decisive battle, featuring the MC's making important decisions that would lead to their victories. And there's no overly convenient logic or plotholes yet either, everything is relatively believable and fresh. Ep 1, leaving a trap on the cliff, Ep 2, a double suicide attempt that scares the perpetrator, and Ep 4, radar canceling. I think the series cleverly saved this radar canceling concept for a later episode because it would be too convenient in the earlier episodes. So I think it was introduced at a good time.

Good fight scene and dynamic between characters. And decent enough animation -- no stills or long pans. Madhouse is truly an OG.

Overall, just a great anime. It's simple and easy to swallow, but has enough layers and depth to keep it constantly interesting. Great setting and premise. Every time I think it's about to do something cliche or predictable, it veers off and does something unexpected. While it's nothing culturally impactful or super grandiose -- and can't be compared to the "top dawgs" on MAL -- I find this series has done virtually nothing wrong so far. For that, they get an objective 9-10 (for the first 4 episodes).

You know how Kousuke turned out that way? Look at his father, those corrupted genes is the reason.

Also I think I discovered something, these bombs only do send you flying far away, and don't kill, because no way the kid is still alive lol.

So many rapists and attempted rapists in this anime. Looks like dying isn't the only thing people have to worry about.

Ryouta spared the kid? Not unexpected, but it may come back to bite him later if he starts viewing Ryouta as his rival, especially since they're both apparently hikikomori who are good at the game.

Quite effective thriller/action sequences for sure. The social commentary is pretty much on the nose but at least the psychotic teenager has a proper backstory instead of being a "natural-born killer" of sorts.
