For those interested in keeping up with the manga, Episode 6 adapted all of just chapters 16 and 17. With the remaining 7 episodes of the season adapting anywhere between 17-20 chapters of manga, the pacing of those episodes will on average range from about ~2.43~2.86 chapters adapted per episode. And if anyone needs a refresher on the ages of the cast of characters: Maru is 15 years old, while Kiruko is mentally 18 and physically 20. The approximate ages of Tokio, Shiro (the white-silver haired teen who was sent the nude photo), Mimihime (the subject of said photo), Taka (the super strong/durable kid), and Anzu (the black haired girl who is good at dancing) are all 14 years old. The approximate ages of Nanaki & Iwa (the two kissing girls), Kuku (the frog-like girl) and Tarao (the sick and now dead kid) are all 10 years old. And Kona’s (the kid who draws the strange drawings) approximate age is 17 years old. And Totori, the girl who came onto Maru this episode is 13 years old (the anime cut some dialogue from the manga where she explicitly stated age). Also a another interesting bit a trivia, Totori’s asking rate in the manga was a lot cheaper. Instead demanding only 80 (presumably Japanese Yen) for her offered “services”, compared to the anime having Totori request an 800,000 fee. And if anyone didn’t realize it by the end of the episode, the guy/“Boss” who got mauled by the bear and later died from his wounds, was indeed the leader of the gang that Maru beat up in the previous episode (and was the specific individual responsible for breaking Maru’s tooth). In case it wasn’t clear, the reason why Kiruko initially didn’t try to use/aim the Kiru-Beam directly at the bear, is because at that point in the episode Kiruko still thought the bear was a Man-Eater (which as far as the characters and audience know, can’t be killed/finished off by anything except the Maru-Touch) and was prioritizing incapacitating it in order to give Maru the chance to safely use his Maru-Touch ability. Also it originally took Kiruko 3 shots to topple the concrete column in the original manga (hence why Kiruko later in the episode says they only have their unreliable 4th shot left), I don’t why the anime decided to change it to only requiring 2 shots. Also a funny detail from the manga that got cut from the anime, when Maru does his “Fatal Dive”, the manga has a visual indication that Maru came up with the name “Fatal Dive” from using a English-Japanese dictionary he found with the porno magazines from the previous episode. Presuming that the bear wasn’t a surviving escaped Zoo animal, the types of bears that are located in that region of Japan are the species known as the Asiatic Black Bear (also known as the Moon Bear). And while bears in general can climbs trees and other similar things (that can support their weight), they cannot climb completely vertical concrete or rickety unstable ladders (hence why they said “bears can’t climb”). Also if anyone was confused as to why Kiruko and Maru asked about Totori’s background, it’s because Maru was able to use the Maru-Touch on her (and thus saw/sensed a core/organ inside similar to what he crushes inside Man-Eaters). The scene isn’t trying to imply that Maru can now use the Maru-Touch on all humans now. In the post-credit scene, we see more instances of the surveillance video footage being manipulated/modified. And to be clear, this is not a case of Tokio being invisible, as the differences in what the camera footage “sees” and what is actually happening is far more different than if it was simply a case of Tokio being invisible (e.g. the camera seeing Tokio still in bed after Tokio got out of it, or the footage seeing Kona as asleep with the lights out, when in actuality the lights are on and Kona and Tokio are sitting together and about to undress. And believe it or not, currently, the manga has still not explicitly revealed the who and/or why behind the surveillance footage was being manipulated. So not even caught-up manga readers know the answer for sure presently. Also when Kona said that while he did like/love Asura in the past but it was not the same as how he likes/loves Tokio, that’s him essentially claiming he didn’t love Asura in a romantic and/or sexual sense (it presumably being platonic or familial). And if anyone was confused about the framing of final part of the after-credits scene with Tokio, it is meant to be understood as a “reveal” of Tokio’s sex/gender being female. Until this point manga, readers were intentionally (mis)lead to think that Tokio was a boy. Unfortunately, due to the change in medium (manga not having voice acting and such) and the English language not having gendered first-person pronouns and honorific suffixes like Japanese, I believe this intentional misleading wasn’t conveyed as well to (English-speaking especially) audiences, and thus many anime watchers assumed that Tokio was a girl from basically the start. And if anyone is interested in starting the manga after this season is finished (it is currently planned to adapt up to some part of tankōbon Volume 6 of the manga, likely somewhere in the range of chapters 34-37), I personally would still recommend starting the manga from the beginning regardless, as in addition to the standard cutting of extra dialogue and scenes from the anime for run-time and cinematic pacing, the chapter titles and cover pages of the manga also play a role in experiencing the foreshadowing of the story that the anime can’t quite replicate (due to the inherent difference in mediums). The mangaka of Heavenly Delusion, Masakazu Ishiguro (who is active on Twitter), their most well known previous work is “And Yet the Town Moves” (also known as Soremachi), which was serialized from 2005-2016. They have also done a number of other single volume manga and short stories collections. Ishiguro's has also stated that the major influences for the Heavenly Delusion series, include the works Akira, Armored Trooper Votoms, and an old Japanese science-fiction novel titled "Dogra Magra" that was written Kyūsaku Yumeno (who appears as a character in Bungo Stray Dogs) and published in 1935.
As a guy who has never read manga, Tokio gender reveal surprised me a lot since female VA can voice acting boy or girl, but Tokio has a short hair so I thought she was a boy
Have they just now discovered that maneaters were once human? I thought it was already known. However very heavy but moving episode. I only wonder when the Tokyo "subplot" will connect to the rest.
Well I mean I don't think there was a big reveal about Tokio's gender in this episode anyway. Most reactors just figured it out themselves from previous episodes

Nice short comment!
These kids get more action than your average anime MC
More because the MC doesn't want the action
@@kilato9649 they want the action they are just pussies
I like that we get a more humor-centric episode this time around
Best episode in my opinion
Only to be hit with a sad one 2 episodes later

He remains me of denji for chainsawman 😂
Boob agenda.
I might be wrong but I think there's a chance that Maru's mom is the girl she looks alike inside the facility.
Thanks for the video!
Im pretty sure not much people knows, but Totori, the hotel girl, is the daugher of Anzu and Taka.
this ep is gem lel
Thanks❤ Eminence Next😊
이 만화 재밌지
Thanks
so funny this anime aired in Disney channel.
Have they just now discovered that maneaters were once human? I thought it was already known.
However very heavy but moving episode. I only wonder when the Tokyo "subplot" will connect to the rest.
EP 8 ???????
Man this is the best fucking anime ever, this is second to one piece
Horniest episode, but hilarious
Can we stop stigmatizing fatal dive? i think its cool
Maybe, but Maru’s shame is too great
If I was Maru, I would go along with what Totori wanted😋😋. Age is just a number at that era, so...
Bro you got that criminal rizz 🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌
@@NeMo-vb4yp they are at the same age, I see no problem here😋
Agreed. It's just 2 year difference. And she is 13. It's time to break her seal
from their reaction it's clearly someone already spoil it to them about tokio......,no one seems surprised
Well I mean I don't think there was a big reveal about Tokio's gender in this episode anyway. Most reactors just figured it out themselves from previous episodes
Yep, manga readers in the comments kept spoiling everything including some other stuff so everyone knew she was a girl already.
@@bubbles000 yeah kinda disappointed
@@sifiz467 it is a big reveal,just look at how the camera move slowly,it was mean to be a big reveal,
