He's gonna die right?

I can already see him being a "character development" tool for the MC. Poor fellow. I feel bad already.

I like Japanese Chris, hopefully he gets a chance to shrine.

There was finite number of kabane, and whilst you can't attack the heart their limbs are still vulnerable.

>>141145246
I'm a lolicon, so it was hard to get over my bias for Mumei.

But Ayame-sama stirred the boner in my heart. She's too cool.

>Ayame-sama gets her steam bow

>it's fucking nothing, probably not even folded 1000 times

I guess Ikoma didn't build the bow, but still has a chance to forge the kabane sword. Also did the guns or sword really kill any kabane, I'm still not sure they are actually effective.

>>141145349

that just means at the right angle or an particularly weak kabane it's possible for a steam gun to oneshot, but not that it's easy. most of the time it takes her at least three shots and I believe in the first episode one particularly tough one takes 8

She's only got the two of them and probably doesn't want to share.

>>141146529
To be fair, I think it was two different groups of peasants. The people freaking out about Mumei killing the pregnant lady seemed to be mostly women and children and it was a group of men who tried to kill Ikoma and Mumei before that.

has anyone how knows rune listened to what that line actually says? the sub is 'jet bullets' and from the first time i read that it feels like something that came through awkwardly translated. plus he's never used the gun as a projectile, not even from a few inches away. really the only piece of evidence that it could possibly fire a projectile is the very first time he fired it made a hole in the hanging behind the kabane, but that could easily have been a piece of the kabane's heartcage being propelled out it's back.

i wonder if the writers just think it's super obvious that absolutely is/ absolutely isn't a projectile weapon, or if they're deliberately trying to string the ambiguity along for a big reveal or something.

>>why is it that it's been 4 episoides and the nobility supposedly know that habaneros exist and we STILL have nobody just fucking puting blood in bottles instead of retardedly slashing thier wrists or implying they have to be bitten?
Mumei had a bottle of blood before. Anyone that treated her like royalty died in the beginning, so no one was going to listen to her after everyone panicked.

Maybe it's because Kurusu tried stabbing it and the Kabane slashed the shields instead?

>>141147174
>we STILL have nobody just fucking putting blood in bottles instead of retardedly slashing their wrists or implying they have to be bitten?
The people on the train only found out at the end of last episode that Kabaneri need blood, they haven't had time to do that.

>why is everyone cheering and happy and completely trusts eren after killing one guy, when he'd done far better than that before and nobody trusted him then?
Because it was obvious this time that without him they were almost certainly all going to die. They seemed to think they could solve the train switch problem on their own before.

>>141147348
Anyone know how rivet guns work, because Ikoma's piercing gun seems to use it as a base if you compare it to the one they use to fix the train.

>>141147174
>why did everyone get pissy for mumi killing the pregnant titan even though they're paranoid as fuck and can clearly see that she turned into one?
Because they know the pregnant woman while all they know of Mumei is that she's a Kabaneri. Also, the pregnant woman is dead and is of no threat to them while Mumei is still alive and still a threat
>>why did ayame-sama hand the keys over to three complete fucking nobodies who've already proven to be much stupider than she is?
Because they're right. She has zero experience leading people. She's only in charge because her daddy had died, and not because she's qualified whatsoever.

Because she willingly gave up the power. Have to respect her wishes.

Bait. If he wasn't bitten, the others might do something risky to save him instead of abandoning him and just blowing the whole area up.
>why is everyone cheering and happy and completely trusts eren after killing one guy, when he'd done far better than that before and nobody trusted him then?
Other than trying to bite hime, to which only Kurusu knows and didn't say anything about it, Ikoma has done nothing but helped them. Not to mention, hime now vouch for him by loudly stating she's forming a contract with him.
>why is it that it's been 4 episoides and the nobility supposedly know that habaneros exist and we STILL have nobody just fucking puting blood in bottles instead of retardedly slashing thier wrists or implying they have to be bitten?
No one except the dead father knew about the habneros. How can they prepare for something they didn't know had existed just a day before?

>>141147545
They get hungry after fighting, and she did say to everyone she wanted blood before they left.

Ikoma's weapon uses two propellants: steam and gunpowder. I'm willing to believe it functions like some sort of mini HEAT round, perhaps? Or maybe it's just accelerated through gunpowder explosion as well as the steam stream pushing it out.

adding realism only matters when it improves something. the sword realistically shattering when he thrust with it made for a cool moment. on the other hand, having the zombie's sword bounce of or get stuck in the steel plate wouldn't really have improved the scene significantly. in fact it would have sort of given a little hiccup in the momentum, for no real added gain than "it's more realistic" which isn't a bonus all by itself.

I don't really know what "噴流弾" is supposed to be. "Jet stream bullet" would be a literal translation.

The whole conversation however sounds odd to me, because Ikoma's weapon shouldn't use neither bullets nor explosives considering its design.

I imagine it was easier towards the beginning and has gotten more and more difficult over time as stations fall and resources dwindle. they probably in the beginning would send a train with the necessary technicians and supplies covered by an overwhelming number of bushi guards and it was fairly smooth. flash toward to where they can't afford that shit and there are way more kabane than there used to be so now they probably just go somewhere during the day, make whatever slapdash repairs they can before any kabane show up, and then flee

The problem is that if it really uses gunpowder then it should be recharged every single time he shoots.
That's how firearms worked at the time.

Even supposing they are ahead with the times and they invented bullet shells, the shells should still be expelled every time, and reloading should happen frequently.

it's got that big round central cylinder, presumably it could contain a ton of charges in there that are cycled into place and he opens it up to reload sometimes. there's a scene in ep2 where he's fiddling with the gun offscreen to kill some kabane approaching, so he could have been reloading it then (but then mumei shows up and takes them out)

>>why does the samurai titan just stab the guy and let everyone carry him away to safety?
Plot armor.
>>why is everyone cheering and happy and completely trusts eren after killing one guy, when he'd done far better than that before and nobody trusted him then?
Ayame visibly accepting him probably helped. Plus, as you said, he'd done it twice. Maybe that was enough to convince the doubters that he really was friendly. It wasn't just a fluke. In any case the real reason is that the "distrust" portion of the plot is over and they wanted to show that.
>>why is it that it's been 4 episoides and the nobility supposedly know that habaneros exist and we STILL have nobody just fucking puting blood in bottles instead of retardedly slashing thier wrists or implying they have to be bitten?
The Nobility isn't monolithic. Ayame's settlement seemed to know nothing of Kabaneri, or if they did, only her father did.

In terms of pacing and the turn it's taken? Yeah it is. Why would they need to be at all related in terms of writers, I'd expect good writers to do different stuff in different series. But in terms of setup and they way they took the direction in eps 3 & 4 vs 1&2 they give me a similar feeling. And again, I don't even mean that in a bad way to Kabaneri, I think it's on the more positive end of that spectrum. There's nothing inherently wrong with going the sillier standard shonen route if it's amusing enough. Hell even Valvrave was pretty funny to watch with people and that was even more ridiculous.

Good lord

>Kabane Nemesis-type appears
OH SHI-

>>141149090
Well the bowstring is pulled by the steam motor to fire arrows, but how does Ayame not lose any fingers firing that thing?

>>141145467
It's the new Blitzendegen

>>141149207
WHAT A THRILL

>>141149223
Oh. I thought it was shooting the arrows by spinning two wheels against it like a baseball launcher

>>141148856
Good thing everyone just died and there's just a small contingent of bushi remaining.

Then again, they're getting more refugee mooks next episode to act as fodder. Fantastic stuff.

This is not okay.

I never noticed the little faces on her sleeves. Cute!

Goddamn, she's so sexual.

it seems like alot of people are misunderstanding how the steambow operates. see how the bowstring goes from where you draw it, to the ends of the bow, then back up into the center? that cylinder spins up and when you pull the trigger, winds up the wire bowstring at high speed yanking the arrow forward and thus fires the arrow way faster than just a stretchy cord could.

overly complicated and probably better ways you could launch a projectile, but fuck it, steampunk, and it's an original idea as far as i know

Is Kurusu trying to be Batman?

>>141149061
Or Mumei powered shots/strikes. Basically if you see the blue sparks, they're permadead.

>>141148849
Mazuizo

>>141145578
I can't stop laughing. I didn't even notice that.

>>141149363
That is the only way to take down a big guy

>>141149349
She must be really strong, to be able to hold that straight with one arm.

>>141149373
I don't think Mumei's attacks killed them for good either.

>>141145710
>only 30 seconds of still pans

Much better than everything else that's airing.

>>141149392
they seem to like instant-appearances/disappearances as something is repeatedly scrolls by horizontally. mumei vanishes in the same fashion in episode 2. although I think that one was cool as fuck and this was just... whatever

>>141145578

What's up with that?

Were they seriously that lazy to not animate that part?

>>141149401
>Ayame will never hold you tight in those strong arms
Just end it all

>>141149401
well, you do see her practicing with a regular longbow in ep 1, so it's not unreasonable that she's got better upper body strength than your average lady

>>141149363
>Ayame-sama is watching
>Time to do something manly and awesome

And then she makes a contract with Ikoma.

>>141149207
We're not tools of the habaneros, or anyone else.

Why dont the kabaneri just drink period blood or some shit? Or blood from the people who were slaughtered.

No worries. This is by the same guy that did series composition for VVV and Guilty Crown.

We all know what's going to happen - Ikoma will wind up dying alone, or worse in tragic circumstances, probably after killing Mumei who also happens to be his sister. Meanwhile, Kurusu will wind up king of the remnants of humanity with Ayame as his wife.

>>141149519
Impossible to tell Kabane and human blood apart. Also, germs.

Period blood only has a little bit of blood in it. Most of it are bits of the uterine lining. Don't think about that too hard.

>>141149519
Cute anime girls can't menstruate that would be disgusting.

>>141149569
I want to fuck Mumei in bed.

>>141149560
It probably can't be infected. The infection or whatever it is would try to spread to new hosts.

It's only when i'm eating Habaneros on the battlefield. The only time I truly feel alive.
