| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Kill Michiko Episode. Veeery nice. I liked it. :D The old Gyle was pretty awesome. Dressed like he's in his mid 20s. I was a bit surprised that they have Highways in the middle of nowhere. |
| Haha, great episode. Very amusing. Ponytail Michiko looked awesome. |

| Hatchin wants Michiko's boobs. Poor Hatchin. So far, I didn't take seriously some of the horrible brazilian portuguese mistakes they made, and for making this "brazilian-like setting" a god-forsaken place (not that reality in brazilian slums and small cities is much better than what they show). But after this huge revelation, they're now srsfknbsn. I WANT MY RANDOM BACKGROUND TEXT SPELLED RIGHT! |
| That was a pretty damn good episode. The chase was great. |
 |
| I liked the direction...it had a 70's exploitation film kind of style to it. With that said, Satoshi has to be the biggest idiot ever. He hires someone to kill one of 3 people without making sure which one that is, and then hires someone to kill one of 2 people without knowing which one that is. Too sloppy. Nothing really happened, but it was a little entertaining in the beginning, so this was just ok for me. |
| intense ep. michiko and hatchin looked a little weird though. guess this ep got the short end of the quality stick. so she's in mato grosso...glad to have an actual area stated so i can imagine her journey. she said "plano" while they were at the shop, so my american self immediately thought, "wait, they crossed the border into TEXAS and are now heading for plano, texas...????" eh. |
| I truly try to like this series but sorry, I can't. The direction is too weak and the characters are mostly annoying/random, so I really have a hard time with this series. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |

Too sloppy. i dont think it's his fault. the old Gyle actually did pick up Shunsuke to kill but suddenly changed his heart after he met Michiko |

| Badass episode! We need more like this. Although the story as a whole isn't doing so well, as a stand-alone episode, anybody would enjoy turning the television on to stuff like this. Same with a few other episodes. At this point I am just hoping for great side-stories. I think it's safe to give up on the main plot this far into the series. |

| Great episode. Sucks for Batista that Gyle couldn't kill off Shinsuke. Now he'll have one more thing to worry about. I really enjoyed the car chase/fight between Michiko and the old man. I really wasn't expecting much from him until I saw him first point his gun at her that night before. |
 |
| This episode made me a little nervous for Michiko! I was like aaaaah and then whoaaaaa... The killer dude after her would have been hott if he wasn't emaciated and hideous.

Wow I was really wondering about that :D I was like hey look.. it's portuguese... they must have searched and whatever to make sure the language was all correct. |
   |
| aright episode. definitely not one of the better ones. |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| Is it me? or did this episode remind you of cowboy bebop? The music, the chase seen, and just the overall feel of the episode.. |
  |
| Epic episode is epic. I lurved it. |

| Amazing episode! Fighting Michiko is very cool. Besides I liked the old killer, he is a family soul to Michiko's |

Dressed like he's in his mid 20s. haha no he's dressed like a 12 year old! another good episode..kepp the action coming. i kinda like that michiko's not invisible. it took a bit of getting used to, but it's nice to have a realistic main character who thinks she's the shit, but still gets knocked around a bit. |
 |
| Action. Finnaly. |
| one of the best michiko episodes! and btw did we saw a Pulp fiction reference here? :) |

| Lol he ran over him |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| probably one of the best eps yet aside from the opening few, nice action! And one of the best action scenes out of the series upto yet, god Michiko is such a badass, I mean... wow! 2 guys trying to kill her.. hope the series can carry on like this, or at least follow on.... i don't mind it not being as intesne, just as long as the plot keeps moving! |
| when you got an old guy and a druggie after you thats when you in deep shit |
| Lol, that guy got owned by a drive by. Time to bite the dust. |
 |
| Some nice car chase... those bounty hunters sure are funny :p |
 |
| Good episode the old man is cool,Satoshi screwed up when he was getting his hired guns he should of went to the druggy first, he probably knew beforehand that the guy only killed other dudes. |
| Definitely had a Cowboy Bebop vibe to it, really liked how the chase was directed. Though why did that guy just walk over to get run over? =-= |
| So both of the hitmen he hired went after the same person . . . That's ironic. Anyways, not sure how Michiko is going to get her bike back when she comes back with no car . . . |
 |
| interesting hitman personalities lol |
| This show kinda confuses me. I can't tell if it wants to be a passive scenic tour of Brazil or a high action ride with a variety of nutjob characters. It's definitely trying to do both, but it's not really working out. I really wish it could pick just one 'cause it does both pretty well, but together they're just conflicting. |
| If the old man was serious, Michiko would be dead. Well it's his last job so he probably just wants to have fun before he retires. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Crazy amazing episode! All that action, my heart is always racing when Michiko is in trouble! |
| One of the better episodes for sure. The car chase scene was great, and yes, it reminded me of Cowboy Bebop. Gyle was a pretty cool character, but considering his performance in the fight the "I only ever need one shot" thing was probably a blatant lie. |
| "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 |
| Looks like the old guy didn't like how Satoshi hired someone else to kill Michiko. Let's see how this turns out. |
| Loved this episode old guy made everything better just because of his swag |
| Doing what one likes is the right of the powerful. |
| This was so chaotic |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| I liked that there were new threats for Michiko to overcome but it all felt a little random to me. The action managed to hold my attention but now that the episode is over, it doesn't seem to me like it all amounted to anything much. |
| Looks like Michiko was really in trouble Good thing her luck is above than normal, she could have been killed so many times I don't know what Satoshi is thinking, he let his target live :P |
"Signature removed"   |
| What a fantastic chase episode and even though is obvious Michiko is going to survive whatever the episode throws to her I was completely invested on seeing her surviving this. Gyle was fun. |
