Kage is just moral support and i think is still a child so is acting in that way

Why is Kage's sole purpose in this show now to do a Brock and explain everything that's happening to Bojji and/or the audience? He's barely even an actual character anymore and it's becoming seriously grating. Whatever the answer may be, it's just one of many ways in which this second cour has been a serious disappointment compared to the first. The amount of "tell, don't show" is excessive and feels lazy, and Bojji's growth from being literally powerless to this godly fighter able to defeat nearly any non-immortal foe has come about way too quickly and just feels contrived; having multiple characters exposit their acknowledgement of his growth this episode just made it feel even worse.

The series is pretty good overall (the second opening is absolutely incredible, endings, animation, artstyle etc… are great) but for me it feels a bit off, now.
Some characters are boring and their scenes don’t match with the personality. Seeing everybody cry because Boji can fight, makes me cringe.
I understand it’s more than that, but in every episode somebody is crying. The show forces us to be emotional over this little man. At first it was fun but now even Boji and Kage cry.
I used to like the idea of the show but since second part has begun we don’t even know why Boji is here. He’s running everywhere not knowing what to do and that’s pretty much the same for Domas or even the King of the underground.

For me the story is missing something, the dialogues are totaly forgetable and the musics are good but poorly used. There is no antagonist in the series even if it says Miranjo is evil etc … because i don’t feel any kind of fear for the MC right now.
And i think the last episode was slow paced, as always (since 2nd part).

It makes me sad to say that but for me Ranking of king is a ~Good~ show with nice production, but with a terrible storytelling.

(I’m gonna watch until the end just because 2nd opening is a total W.)

(Sorry if my english is bad)

I was going to write a longer post about this eventually, but you said everything I wanted to say.

The series started really strong, with character introductions, misdirections and plot twists carrying it. But now that everything has more or less settled down and it's time for the story to actually go somewhere... it doesn't know where to.

And the characters, who at first were all complex and misterious, each with their own goals, are now just as confused about the plot as we are and don't know what they should be doing (what have Bojji, Hilling, Apeas, Miranjo, Desha and Bosse being doing for the last few episodes, honestly? Just running around/reacting to the events around them).

The dialogue has also been suffering in these last few episodes. Everything just seems out of character for them to say, out of place given their situation or both. And that's ignoring all the exposition from Kage and Miranjo, which doesn't even make sense for them to be saying out loud.

It seems to me that the author came up with a very good idea for the story, thought out many individual events but then had trouble weaving everything together in a cohesive manner. It's actually really common with fantasy/adventure stories: characters do 'thing A' and then have to do 'thing B', but the author doesn't know how to tie these two events together so he/she just has the characters running around for a while until they get where they should be.

Miranjo is one of the worst villain out there, her intentions, wishes, plans, personality, etc are very dull and boring, and her conviction is nowhere to be found, or she has split personality or something like that... But yeah, we need to wait for her background story..

So was Miranjo's plan to marry Bosse off to Hilling to not only ensure Bosse lived after his demon-shortened life, but to give him an immortal heir like Satun was attempting?

With Bosse in an immortal body, Miranjo & Bosse could stay together forever which seems to be what she ultimately desires.

Comical episode, Bojji's growth is one of the worst things I 've seen in anime. I'm much more interested in Miranjo's background at this point.

Man, the OP pumps you up, only for you to get let down time and time again.


It's kind of a shame that a man of your caliber going by the cringiest bio I have ever read in my entire life on any website ever is forced to sit and watch through this series and cry about it. I genuinely don't know how you can be helped. Hopefully you find the right institution to share your... whatever it is you're struggling with. Good luck.

Miranjo's goal is so fucking goofy it makes me cringe inside. Why annihilate so many innocent people, why use actual beasts from hell, and why for the love of god does she need to kill off Hiling and everyone besides Bosse? Just get tf out with him on these silly adventures, for crying out loud.

This is the stupidest motivation of the main villain I have ever heard.

There's a lot more going on with Miranjo than her wanting to go on an adventure with Bosse lol

Damn, what an episode! Finally a meeting between Bojji and Ouken! And now he realized that he's immortal, but there's gotta be always a way to end his life.

Also, i've seen quite some people complaining about Kage in this episode, and i do have to agree on one side, but on the other, he gathered info that Bojji didn't know, like that he's immortal so i guess i can give him a pass.

Man, the dialogue is so childish... it's like they're explaining whatever happens on-screen to an audience of 10-year old kids.

Take this example:
Bojji hits Ouken but misses.
Kage: "Oh no, Bojji missed."
Also Kage, now getting closer to Bojji in the middle of his *fucking* fight: "Bojji, did you miss?"

alright, I think it's the first episode I'm legit thinking "uh???????" multiple times...

Might be the weakest episode so far, which is sad because Bojji vs Ouken could be great.

Well, that was a good episode. First of all, we got to see what happened to Ouken and how he became immortal and then we also got a fight between Bojji and Ouken which got quite intense and looks like Miranjo is still here giving advice.

That was a pretty intense fight, especially knowing that ouken guy is pretty much bojjis only enemy if not caught off guard.

When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object...

But if someone is going to lose, it is probably going to be Bojji. He will get tired eventually.

So that's what Desper meant when he said Oken os Bojji's natural enemy. Dammit. Anyway, how exactly did Oken lost his fucking mind? Being immortal does not suddenly change someone's personality.
