We two dear men, friends forever, were here. If you want to know our names, they are Ikoma and Takumi.
I really hope Takumi survives, I like the lad.

He will probably die in the next episode now that they have made up and he's not scared of him being a habanero it's bound to happen
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.
>>141145367
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.
>>141145116
Right. ;)

You mean give him a medal right?
So what's a Rokkon Shoujo?
>Ayame-sama gets her steam bow
>"Kurusu get your katana"
>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
She's always relevent,who do you think put that blond fag into the Kabaneri van?
my god, talk about a dip in quality... episode 4 really looks shitty compared to the previous episodes.

Just Kabaneri things.
Kususru is tsundere for Ikoma.

I like how the flood of kabane just disappeared. Who were the unlucky fucks that have to toss knocked down kabane off the koutetsujou.
So until now all this has been fighting zombies on a train. Why don't they get some actual plot going?

I waited the whole ep for an explanation but nothing, feels like they just threw him in there for plot related reasons. I know anons are saying it's probably because he's an asshole but there's literally no indication he's actively disliked, he's been in one fucking scene.

You have to admit, holding off big kabane with just a pole was pretty badarse.
Hopefully he'll stop giving my Ikoma shit from now on.
>>141146314
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
>>141146240

The problem is there isn't even a hint of that. You can come up with a bunch of believable reasons he was thrown in but in the end you have to call it what it is, a glaring inconsistency.

>>141146391
He better be dere dere now that Ikoma saved him.
>>141146134
She's only got the two of them and probably doesn't want to share. Plus they seemed to be attached to something on her back, so even if she was willing to let them use them while she's unable to fight, which she might not be, it would take a while for her to take them off and then for someone else to put them on.
>>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.
So um... why should we have them on the train?
So you think those anti-Kabaneri guys will go for one more big push to get Ikoma off the train? I have a feeling they will try something only to fall off the train or get punished by the other bushi.
>>141146509
Anon,there's only one time we see her one shooting the Kabane and it was in this episode,every other time she had to shot several times
That fag probably didn't even notice it
>>141146240
I don't even get the whole "plot reasons" angle. there's no reason one of the other characters in the car couldn't have known about the tunnels
maybe they just wanted him to have some lines and that was the only place they could think to squeeze him in

Should also mention he's actually sitting right next to her at the end of the ep like no big deal, so that theory doesn't even hold up.

Hey buddy I think you got on the wrong train, the kabane train is two blocks down
>>141146821
yeah i'm just tired of fending off these silly theorists going "her guns are so much better, maybe it's because only habaneros can use them cause otherwise their super-recoil would blow your arm off" when the obvious reason that's been stated is the steam guns are just incapable of producing enough force to reliably oneshot anything, the reason ikoma didn't use steam for his weapon.
>>141146819
I fucking cheered when the ones unhooking the caboose got killed off. Then went "aww, nuts" when it turned out some stayed in the front and survived.
>>141146819

I'm sad that all this budget is being spent on such a mediocre anime, I gave it a try, but It's poorly written and not thought out at all.

>>141147091
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.

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.

>>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.

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.
>>141147416
Of course, that completely justifies what we saw.

Ikoma and Mumei should refuse to drink his filthy bushi blood on principle.
When are Mumei and Kajika going to kiss?
Why didn't Mumei just explain they needed blood before going out to fight so they were at full strength?
>>141147523
He's obviously very salty. They'd probably avoid his blood if they could.
Mumei the best.

I hope at least someone has the common sense to use a yari, a naginata, just any damn variant of a long stick. It should be the first thing to come to mind in a zombie outbreak.

Why didn't they just set the train on fire?
>>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.
>why did the samurai just go along with it too?
Because she willingly gave up the power. Have to respect her wishes.
>how the FUCK does a itty bitty suicide bag suddenly blow a 5foot hole in a 2-3inch thick iron plated train car, despite barley having the power to get through people's chests?
He did it in front of several barrels of gunpowder.
>why does the samurai titan just stab the guy and let everyone carry him away to safety?
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.
Despite Ayame's words, no one trusts them yet.

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.

What did they meld his broken katana back together with?
>>141147500
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.

How did Ayame get down so fast after giving her blood to Ikoma to scream ROCK ON SHOUJO?

>>141147545
She's 12, and judging from the fact that she was relatively isolated from everyone in her intro scene, she probably had hime's dad handle all the supply and social stuff. Can't expect a twelve year old with more power than sense to not be a massive unsociable jackass.

I am just waiting for mag/art book diagrams and charts for the weapons and trains, and if we get Mumei and Ayame's measurements that will be nice too.

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.
>>141147808
He made people feel uncomfortable. That's why he's being executed.

I can only think that he tried to tell the mob not to throw the girl in the back car and they got mad at him too.
>>141147967
Maybe it's like a modified Captive Bolt Pistol. The steam bolt is helped along by the gunpowder charge and then retracts back into the gun. It's basically a modified rivet gun with a contained drive mechanism...maybe.

That bothered me more than anything else in the episode.

>>141147971
>>141147967
>explosives
Eh, Ikoma and Takumi were talking about increasing the amount of explosives to increase the power. It could be similar to the explosive force a gun makes at point blank range when firing blanks.
>>141147962
Agreed. It's highly unlikely but since trains are the only "safe" transportation in the world maybe they have rerailers every couple miles or something...Would still do a fucking number on the tracks in the meantime though.

I wondered how they managed to maintain the tracks. It's clearly been a while since the zombie shit started, so how did they manage to keep them going for so long?

He's really good with binding things.
>>141148300
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

>>141146829
Well a logical reason is that only of those guys who were in charge wants him dead/gone for some reason. It maybe be some petty grievance we don't even know about. But it doesn't really matter, then didn't bother telling us and just lampshaded it.
>>141148153
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.
>>141148556

He has great hair.
Wasn't sure how this show was going to go after the first two eps, but yeah it's Gargantia all over again, granted at least somewhat more amusing and better done. I don't even mean that in a bad way really, it's just going to be a funny shounen ride that'll be amusing to watch with /a/. First 2 eps made it look like they might go a more serious route though.
How do they never run out of bullets?
>>141148633
I'm guessing there will be a slow boring political side to this show
>>141148565
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)
>>141147766
no they get the wazatori's sword to bite the new sword then choke it at the hilt so it becomes a kabaneri sword.
>>141147771
Fucking this.
I'm so tired of autistic faggots who can't understand this concept pointing out "flaws" and inconsistencies because they have no other criticism or comment to make. Every single thread.

Was he better than Ayame's dad?
Aside from the fact that he's already dead, but let's ignore that part.
>>141148661
Okouchi is listed as writer and has story composition credit for all the episodes so far. So it's really not anything like Gargantia.
