Kage's backstory was very tragic

Comments

The Anime Dude

Y’all need to one day watch Kenichi: History’s Mightiest Disciple. Out of all the martial arts he learns, the first move he learns is none other than the side step.

Telos

Finally 😅

YaBoyRoshi

harley is still exporting, give me a bit to get those up!

nycdame

it’s been too long since niggas brought up roshi yams and i feel like i have to your welcome yall

GenDroid

Well shit I was going to beat the meat but ranking of kings is better!

Shawn

The way this show is reminds me somewhat of some Ghibli stuff.

Smash Bran'Discootch

I had never heard of this anime before and good gods patreon, you did good. All the people who suggested this, thank you because this is beautiful.

DoobieSam

My pick for AOTY tbh. Hope communities like this one help in some way to spread the word of this wonderful series.

LeFlaneur

Even when Ousama Ranking is “dark”… it’s kind of wholesome. It has that old school anime uplifting vibe that even when everything is shit, you just can’t help but be hopeful.

Dune

I gotta say that bojji is one of those characters I immediately felt genuinely bad for. Like yeah there are a lot of anime with tragic characters but I was like damn. This little kid is deaf, mute, is called stupid and a fool, got the shit beat out of him by his older brother and no one even slightly believes in him. Like damn.

Devin B

First time watching this show and the feels are already this strong. Can't wait for the next eps.

Kekeke 7

I legit binged watched it since y’all uploaded the 1st episode yesterday, love it so much easily one of my top favs, I shouldn’t have slept on it thanks for making me watch it !

Sanglupo

I think Boji is the older brother. That is why he had the "best" knight as a teacher and is first in line to become king.

Isaiah McClurkin

Definitely AOTY contender! Side note: y’all should watch Arakawa under the bridge literally pissed myself watching it 😂😂😂

LeFlaneur

When meal prepping you can just marinate it or slow cook it, physically tenderizing meat is not efficient. You get to watch your show and spend less time in the kitchen.

Jnutt913

Yea the reason everyone said he couldn’t defeat his brother was because the other person had to submit and Boji literally couldn’t get enough strength behind his swing to hurt his opponent. Those taps were him swinging with everything he had tho.

kingofshibainu

It's hard rewatching this knowing things that are revealed later. It's so messed up.

godUsoland

Just like Made in Abyss, it's these cute looking shows that always fuck you up.

Luffy_77

SAME LMAOOOOOOO, this is setting a HIGH bar for 2022 anime lol

Arielle

This episode made me cry and I had already watched this before so I knew what was going to happen! This show is legit good and the characters are more complex than the art style would have you believe.

TimmSchmimm

Yeah Boji is like 10 or 11 and still looks like he is 4 + he is deaf + mute etc. He isn't just weak he is awfully fragile and small.

RavinFox .

Lupa is definitely talking about the puppet pals from Dexter's Lab lol Can't remember how reoccurring the joke was within the WHOLE show... But it was definitely highlighted in the Justice Friends skits. The Infraggable Krunk-- the purple hulk guy, really enjoyed watching it. Spot on joke, Lupa o7 Also, this episode absolutely destroys everyone lol

Jay rellim

omg the lack of intro music sounds way more awkward hahah i love it

Jay rellim

also wait is that just some medieval times kinda thinking? i dont get why they think dodging and being nimble against a stronger opponent is dirty??

slipHAZARD

I think part of it is that when a King fights he's supposed to display strength. Another aspect too is that while he was more nimble and able to dodge attacks that's all he could pretty much do. They believe him to be so weak and frail that he's just not capable of even wielding a sword. Which means even if he can dodge he still can't fight, like she he could tap him with a wooden sword but that doesn't mean he can wield one made of steel. And when it came down to a test of strength the younger brother won. This society seems very fond of the "Strongest Rules" type of mindset.

Jay rellim

ahhh i see what youre saying. bc instantly I thought "it doesnt matter if he uses a sword, give him a small dagger that lets him use his speed and nimbleness to get close and win". but even that wouldnt really work with this "strongest rules" mindset here.

ROMA

Because of Chivalry during that time, Bojii was told to stop dodging and fight with honour against his brother, also, Domas was intrested in Daida because he HAS been training Bojji for quite some time already, knowing that Bojji has been training but not getting stronger at all.

James

Man why this show got me crying at 9am

Zephyrs

I binged it and I am a bucket of fucking tears, this show is great and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I ignored it since its release but watching episode 1 with you guys got me hooked! Cant wait to see how you react to the rest!

BZD

Sidestep or pocket sand?

BZD

Farquad was holding his sword with his pinky up, like a cup of tea. Lol.

BZD

I started crying at the end. Wow. My feels.

Trashthlete

To be fair, Kage needed those clothes for money, my Man's is broke.

Son Gokhan

You guys missed the point domas was saying no matter how much boji trains he not getting physically stronger he literally cant pick up a sword and that the swordmanship of a king is clashing head first with your opponent which boji cant do

Vincent S Deluca

Domas has been training Boji for a while now it wasn't just a few days and he's on Daidas side now. Also Domas was saying that even if Boji can dodge well, He physically cant hold a sword, they are too heavy for him. Even if he dodges he wouldn't be able to actually do damage he'd just be constantly evading, and if your going to be king you need to be able to defend your kingdom.

ArkhamRed

Man fuck this kingdom fuck this village fuck these people These niggas are trash

Jin Shim

Ya know, for the poll I picked more 86, then I watched more of the show myself and now I want their reaction out like Jojo part 6 😂😂😂

rickie woodson

kage is black. the parallels to colonizers and slavery is PALPABLE.

slipHAZARD

This and Odd Taxi are two of the best unique and original animes in awhile IMO

JayFazo

Fun fact Prince Daida Voice Actor is Eren's. So, get ready for the top tier Voice Acting

Jin Shim

Just realized Kage has to close his eyes to sneak lmaoooo

Nana

I was gonna comment on how stupid a certain character is but I remembered the storytelling in this is so competent and good throughout so i don’t even need to do all that.

Jasmine Uzzell

Just caught up and this show is 10/10

Damion Middleton

The Backstory of Kage is One Piece level. So much Sadness.

Sione Ealelei

If you noticed in epi 1 the snake dude was like "well its obvi who is going to win" and the when the first sidestep happened when it was showing everyones reaction the snake dude smirked alittle bit

Kreative

Finally yall on this one. I can't wait til yall catch up. Enjoy the ride yall!

Viela Guay

Not only that, but considering there's things like magical creatures in the realm, if your dagger literally cannot pierce deep enough to do any damage to say a thick skinned creature, sure you can dodge all it's attacks, and it can just ignore you and start eating/killing all your people while you can just sit there and watch. The ability to dodge is something that one can only use to protect oneself, while a martial king has the responsibility to protect others.

LUPASAN

Yall set me the fuck up watching this smh. Feel the tears coming 🙃

Eliana

Crying the whole fucking episode. His brother ain’t shit, I fight kids.👊🏾

Kwame Afriyie

If you thought 86 and Tokoyo Revengers was emotional, then prepare for the emotional damage on a whole other level. I thought I wasn't going to like this anime when I saw the preview during the Crunchyroll panel at NYCC but I am won over now. Can't wait for you guys to catch up. Another Banger now, catch up on 86!

Todd Howard

Super hyped you guys picked this up. You'll not be disappointed!

earthphoenix7068

When you can't sidestep, you gotta backstep or weave which are the second and third strongest anime moves.

Dave

I know exactly what cartoon @LUPASAN was talking about. I think it was puppet pals or something in Dexter’s Lab

LUPASAN

PUPPET PALS!!! FUCK THANK YOU!!! I’m pissed off I couldn’t remember their names lol

Karma

Am heartless or something? Causing I like the anime but it's not really pulling my heart strings ya know?

SoggySoup

No it’s not particular sad for me either as much as pitiful and sweet/bittersweet.

Smash Bran'Discootch

The DIALOGUE in Odd Taxi is freakin' phenomenal. Like they could just be talking about mundane things but it flows so well and feels so natural that it just draws you in.

Smash Bran'Discootch

Nah man I wouldn't say you're heartless. I'm sure there's some stuff that gets you in the feels. Different strokes, you know? What affects one person's emotions won't necessarily affect yours and there's nothing wrong with that, my dude.

Smash Bran'Discootch

The guy who said "It looks like he's making fun of someone who is trying hard" explained it. See Daida was trying really hard and couldn't hit boji. Boji kept tapping him with the sword because that's the hardest he could hit. So to the people watching, it looked like Boji was making fun of Daida. Because for anyone else, if they had hit Daida like that, he would have been out. Since Boji lacks physical strength and could only hit hard enough to tap, it looked like he was saying "I can win this any time i want, but I'm going to keep drawing it out to make you look stupid".

Champion Bescos

Would never have heard of this gem if it weren’t for these reactions. So thankful to the patrons and to Roshi and the crew. Need more asap.

13

I hope the princes switch sword masters. Feel like the snake guy lowkey would fit boji's style

em

the flashbacks that were going on when dude got stabbed in the chest were actually HIS flashbacks about when he had genuine moments with kage like when he woke up and kage was holding his hand. he knew he didnt deserve kage feeling sad about his death, and i bet he cried cause he realized that too late and died with regrets.

aboubacar bah

so this is what it feels to be on patreon 🤯🤯

Thamor

Funny thing Roshi talking sidestep being overpowered move, but in real life if you can do it it's as powerful as in anime. Avoiding taking a hit with a small steps to the side is very agile combat move.

magentoe

i get what roshi and them are saying about dodging and striking being the kid's style, but he still needs to be able to block/parry when dodging isnt the best move, and have the strength to actually hurt an enemy, otherwise he'll just tire himself out and lose by default.

Reckless Company

i like the mom logic she like we kill men,woman,and children when ordered so we cant get mad if we die thats insane

JsnSkg

Another show where there's no such thing as good and evil, it's just grayness. Which I like and don't like at the same time. I like the complexity of it, but at the same time it's kind of like.... stressful confusion or something lol.

TheDroppedFry

I dunno if you guys will read this, but these reactions are FANTASTIC. I hope you guys know that you are my main source of entertainment, because even with TV shows and movies I've seen, y'all just add to the experience!

Marshmallow

"He was born under a star that keeps him from growing." No matter how talented Bojji is, he will never live up to the legacy of his father. Man this anime hits on all levels.

Steven Fechter

ill be honest, this anime is a complete dud for me so far. i dont care about the motor oil spill clan. this kid who gives up his clothes and cant speak seems like he would be a bad king to me too. and they are making the humans so unlikable, that why would you even want him to lead them to glory when they are all such assholes? idk this one is too cartoony for me I think. ive watched too much vinland/game of thrones.
