Suzaku: "I'm not a child!"
Let your emotion lead your actions is a very definition of a child, though. And his father spoke some sense to him but, too bad, he's now too blind by a grudge to listen. Too bad. Sensible people are not needed in this show.

I was very positive that Ittoki was manipulating the information to lure Kouga into attacking and used that against them. I was too optimistic, it seems. He's still as clueless as ever. Ittoki is a very example of parents' failed education. I'm now really pitty him.

Ittoki...manipulating?

Sorry, those two concepts just don't go together, lol

He's just a dunce lol...

He's basically useless. *shrug* (Well... ok... 5% useful maybe...)

Really!!!! 5% 😲

5% would be a generous credit I give him. It's probably way less...

Yeah, that's what got me shocked seeing it XD

You are too kind. Even Sakura is more useful than him.

"That's impossible!!!"

The show is named after him but even a rock is more useful.

He's just a kid and is not even a ninja and now there's a war

I just wish he will do something useful for a chance. I was too naive LOL

I just can't watch this anymore. It's... just too dumb. Zero rationale.

Studio: Are you going to make a Naruto like anime? Or will it be dumb like Excel Saga?

Director: Yes.

During this moment Ittoki is more like Zoro when he wakes up out of the blue Lmao
XD

Don't think that he is like Zoro when he wakes up. That kid is an useless piece of shit. Sakura is more useful than him. I would rather watch Orihime healing the enemies for a week instead of this shit.

Daaaang, that's cold lol
XD

i don't think manipulating is even in ittoki's vocabulary

Harsh judgement but the truth hurts this mc 100%
Even breads both end have more use than him I guess, but the title makes it up for him to exist 🤣

Yep he is the very definition of cockheaded dude

No. Those two concepts don't, but how bout those two and the concert. Loved that scene. Perfect acting scenario by two of the most badass ninjas.

Bro, that would've been really great to watch if Ittoki actually did something like that...
The reaction of the village later on would've been priceless

But sadly, he is just a blockheaded dude...
Well, can't blame him either ig
Better to keep our expectation low, but honestly I liked this ep...

Bruh how do you expect a gymnast suddenly to use art of war category strategy without some mental development?

Bruh Ittoki being smart? That’s like Luffy winning a game of chess with Lelouch

It is rather simplistic show - bad Koga fighting vs Iga, clan of selfless Jesuses Chirsts of ninja world, who are fighting "for the people, for the good, for mankind brotherhood".

Given the straightforward build up it is easy to guess how it ends - Suzaku in the end will see errors of his ways and fall under MC magic, kill silver-haired main antagonist, succeed Koga clan leader role and proceed to together build super-equal society for ninjas,

Lmao, you the type to get f'd in the a** and say no this fine. Its fine if my mother gets executed despite being innocent. All for the village. Keep smoking that copium tho. Please sh*t on ittoki more so I can sh*t on your logic. If people thought like you all of Asia, Europe and The U.S would not be sending weapons to Ukraine because that would put them at risk. Intervening would be emotional. If you look at it on paper, it is Ukraine's problem not ours. /Whoosh

Bro, you sure YOU'RE not the one smoking that copium, my guy? Cuz um...what's Ukraine gotta do with this?

I was using it as an example dumb a**. Intervention in the Ukraine war is an emotional choice. Which is what OP is arguing is stupid of Itokki. Better use your brain Noah before trying to shift the topic.

Man imagine people complaining about a show about realism and then being bias as f*ck. Not calling bleach and naruto out but Itokki, ok bruh. Those shows have as much if not the same plot armor you and other MFs complain about. Naruto's talk no jutsu, and the recent episode of bleach's ichigo plot armor. Yall just hating on a show to be edgy. STFU.

You can absolutely watch a show without being negative and ruining everyone else's experience. SMH.

Cant watch a show without complaining sheesh. My name is Barbara Noah im from shark tank and because I dont like the show, I keep watching it and sh*tting on it. Im a clown thats why Im out. 🤡

I also heard gogo deleting your comments. I wonder fking why. Perhaps you arent so popular on the comments as you thought yourself to be. Congrats you played yourself. As much as I would love to do that myself, the amount of low quality show review comments you put out it would basically be more than half your comments. Gogo seems to be doing its job correctly filtering you.

Damnnnn, why'd you have to rip him a new asshole like that lmao!!

First off, I NEVER saw myself as popular, if anything, I saw myself as lucky to be where I'm at. I see you're not too concerned with idiots trying to silence me because they hate my opinions, NTM this means they can go after anyone else (you, included) for a lot less, which if anything, that makes YOU part of the problem if this is how you look at it. They even went after Archie in the comments section of the Tonikawa OVA, but I guess you don't care, do you?

Like I said, if you hate what I have to say, either ignore me or block me, it's not that hard. Another thing, I'M "edgy"? At least my being "edgy" is being honest on how I feel and where I stand on certain shows. I might disagree with others but I'd never resort to silencing people, let alone tell people they're edgy because they disliked something. Where were you when Rent-A-Girlfriend S2 aired last season, and before that, Marin and Shikimori?

Second, Ohms isn't wrong on his criticisms either. Our MC is SUPPOSED to be smart, but he pulls this stupid plan. And IIRC, he failed that exam a few episodes back. Also, unlike most people I never grew up watching Naruto, and I've certainly never watched Bleach so I have no comment on either anime.

Barging into a heavily secured facility to free an innocent family member is a narrative you only see on screen. In real life family can either only watch on in disgust or powerlessness or hear the news after the execution took place. That's reality.

So, you will be f'd in the a** wether you like it or not by people who's pole is so long you don't even see it coming until it's already inside.

Drawing a parallel between an individual & a country is about as similar as advising an independent business to take a similar approach as big corporations.

But you're nonetheless right. Ofcourse we would want to save her. Emotionally we're all in. And shows will always portray the idea that sacrificing an entire clan for one person is the most natural decision to make, bc it is the more gripping one. But between saving one person or risking the lives of plenty in the attempt, opinions would be split about what the course of action should be.

A last stand sounds & looks nice on screen, but not as much when you're in that position and are asked to potentially throw away your life for a person who isn't integral to your life (unless the clan head is what makes their life have meaning).

that kid just lost his dad.....BANZAII!!!

cant wait to see him when he realized it's all a scheme to steal the ninja core from iga.....he's basically the main reason for his dad's death cuz he suggested the attack on iga which is what his dad is against it.....serve him right!

It's unfortunate his dad died, that was undeserved as he was a good man. I don't agree that Sazuka deserves that as a punishment for his blinding thirst for revenge. Maybe if the punishment was limited to him being the victim of his actions and not the innocence.
I however suspect that the current leader was already planning on killing the father regardless of whether or not he'd receive the information from Sazuka. If this is revealed later on, then the kid would be absolved of his father' death and should not be blamed. The way they were cleaning house of all the voices of opposition against attacking the Iga and the fact that that one guy told Sazuka he was in danger too by the current head of the Kouga has me speculating. Sazuka was against his dad with not attacking Iga, so why would they need to kill him too when he did nothing to betray the village or show cowardice? This was all premeditated it seems. They're taking out everyone close to the assassinated previous chief.

A gigantic understatement/disappointment on the Ittoki part
XD

I have to be honest, I was really hoping that Kirei would have a change of heart while there and seeing everything koga was doing, but I guess that was too much to ask for. I'm not going to lie, at that point, if I found out, I would personally kill her myself.

There was a time when she was still able to turn back, to stop leaking information and to tell the truth, and to stop living as an "Imposter". But I guess she valued the beliefs that she had been raised with and that style of life, more than attempting to be MORE than just a fake.

I would tell her that too, as I killed her. That in the end she was nothing more than a phony, and a fake. That in her final moments, she couldn't even be her own person. Call me a bad person, because I know our mc is still going to forgive her.

But after putting everyone I care about in danger, she doesn't deserve a second chance.

Yeah, I completely agree with you, but we all know that this story is just going to try to redeem her in the span of a single episode, same with that Suzaku guy, and it annoys the hell out of me.

This is only Japanese thing that kinda annoys me. Forgive everything.
All shounen manga and anime I did watch, some antagonists and\or backstabbers is always forgiven by mc if they were somewhat close and\or bonded through story.
But to be fair, some of those characters died during "redemption", so its manageable pill to swallow.
Funny how Japanese folks, gets surprised why people in their country lacks backbone.
Should look at anime and manga's morale they produce.
I dont say that kindness and forgiving is something bad. But kindness is something that should be earned and not presented on a silver platter.

I also agree, it's one thing to really put effort into that redeeming if it's worth it but this show just take that concept to stupid levels.

Yeah, it truly is really annoying when an anime does that. Don't get me wrong, redemption arcs can be incredibly immersive and enjoyable to watch, when done the correct way. A silent voice is an AMAZING example of how a character can grow to be better then they were previously.

But for whatever reason, anime like this has a strong urge to just have the mc forgive anyone that was nice to them, because they "are a good person". Or "they don't want to see their friend die".

I can understand an mc not wanting to lose their friend, and an author having a hard time letting go of a character they have grown attached to...but *sometimes it's necessary*. Like, I think that's the thing that these authors don't realize.

By trying to redeem a character in a poor fashion, or even a villain that SHOULDN'T be redeemed, they sabotage their own creations.

Though, I can't say much for this anime, it's honestly been mid tier the entire time. Like, it's enjoyable enough to watch in your spare time, but overall it's a dumpster fire. The interactions between the characters is so poorly written, that you have a kid that still is brand new to all of this, being made to lead an entire ninja village.

This anime and the farmer one, both really let me down this season. The concepts seemed pretty entertaining in episode one of each, but quickly got bogged down with flaws that sent them straight into the sea of generic dime-a-dozen anime.

i hope she die from getting stabbed in her eye......that trash dont deserve to live

the evil guy will have change of heart... as soon as he finds his daughter is... omg this writing is just too easy.

Spoke my mind already. You're blessed

Self destruct a defensive gate... doesn't it sound like defeating the purpose? That guy didn't need to die.

Yep. And for all those defenses set up, none of those cars in the front should have survived. Really awful writing-no-jutsu.

The author should've take some time to rest his mind then find some inspiration to write a good plot for this one.

But, I guess it's too late now. Unless, they postpone the next episode for a while then hopefully coming back with better plot can do it a little better change?

I'm signing out in a cool manner even if I didn't have to ( Lights a cigarette)
XD

to be fair, those robots stabbing me would sound more painful and slower of a death than you know going with a boom which would be instant.

But im surprised they didnt design an emergency chute or exit under the chair. You are 100% correct, dude didnt need to die.

Ngl it make no sense

This show has no sense at all

They can't breach a gate that no longer exists! Ha!

You know the guy’s gonna blow himself up when he lights a cigarette just for one drag.
