I like what the main chara did to the samurai's sword B)
Also it seems like they managed to escape the big kabane mash thingy and Mumei finally snapped out of her paranoia! And damn the pink haired girl is ripped. xD

Mumei said she never got bitten,( and i read some theories regarding this on mal), does that mean she's an artificially created kabaneri? Possibly made by her 'brother'?
 
That's interesting. And right!? The pink-hair girl was ripped as hell. Another nod to AoT, Misaka lol?

I noticed that this was taken place in Japan. Is this Kabane event world-wide? :think:
 
And the great Anime lords commanded me to revive this thread, and REVIVED IT SHALL BE.

So Episode 9 is probably one of the most gruesome episodes of the series so far, and for multiple reasons.

1. We've learned in the past episode (or two) that Biba has been keeping... A massive horde of Kabane on his Hayajiro. We get to see why he's been keeping them this episode as he sets them loose on an unfortunate station that they came by.
2. We learn that Biba wants to "liberate" humanity from the fortresses, that is, get them all killed.
3. He injects Horobi, another Kabaneri, with some liquid that turns her into the heart of a fused hive. She wreaks havoc throughout the station before her restraint on her neck breaks and she turns into a horrendous Kabane.
4. Biba captures everyone on the Kotetsujou, and they want Ikoma for his blood.
5. Biba seemingly gives 0 shits about humanity whatsoever, as he used people to lure in the Kabane with bags of blood on motorcycles and even, as mentioned earlier, turned Horobi into a fused hive.
6. Biba's crew mercilessly slaughters everyone from the station trying to escape to safety.

Also, HOLY shit they have miniguns.

And Kurusu may or may not have sacrificed himself in an attempt to save Ayame, which failed miserably. We don't really know about what happened to him after the sent himself and minigun dude off the edge of Biba's Hayajiro. 
Also, IIRC the Kabane outbreak is worldwide. I think it says that on their website, though I'm not sure.
 
Ah, make sense. Hopefully we can see the progression of other countries, but I've my doubts.

Also, thoughts on episode 9:

- Mumei is probably the dumbest character in this entire show. Her arrogant ways and ego was practically annoying for the first few episodes, but this takes the cake.
- Ikoma probably still going to think her as a friend/whatever, but shit I thought Ikoma should atleast backhand her in the future episode. Mumei essentially got them killed at least three times at this point. But you know, anime plot about drama speeches of why we should forgive Mumei.
- Biba has motives. The moment the whole "coward talk" Mumei said, I immediately knew there was something weird -- and the fact that Mumei stated that she was made into one, rather than what Ikoma went through.
- It's a pretty gruesome episode. Damn
- Horobi looks pretty badass in that super Kabaneri mode. Too bad we barely know a thing about her.
- I think Kurusu is still alive. 
- They're probably going to turned Ikoma into a super one, or apparently his blood is a cure or some shit
- Nice to see Ayame kicking some ass. She's the bravest, kindest person in the show aside from Ikoma and the rest. I hope she makes it to the end. 
- Did I mention that Mumei was dumb?
- Kabaneri can shoot lasers out of their mouths or something? That's pretty damn stupid.
- This is feeling very AoT in here, with Naruto thrown into the mix.
- I wish Ikoma actually gets some badassery moments. The anime like to make him to be useless at certain points to show how awesome Mumei is. Problem with that is, the latter is fucking annoying.
 
Horobi looks like an angry bird. xD
Also I can't take Biba seriously because of his name hahaha
Other than that, Mumei has indeed made a lot of stupid decisions in the series, but I guess i can kinda understand her bc she's only 12 afterall. Very impressionable age that is.
 
Caught up with both episodes.

Damn, I did not expect Takumi to die. That actually caught me off guard. 

Biba had daddy issues. Not surprisingly, but kind of underwhelming. 

Ikoma went super saiyan in the last episode. Can't wait to see the battle going from there lol. Think this will get a second season? :think:
