This episode is great!

When listening to the IN Kong sings, I really feel that everyone in the world has a different Christmas, but it seems that only one song can summarize all the feelings.

Life is full of ups and downs. Some people seem to move forward but may gradually numb in the repeated life, some seem to regress but become better.

Finally, it is hard to define who is the winner or loser of life.

Their live must be going on, without any exceptions. No run from your reality ....

I am amazed of how they keep directed every character in such a good way from the very first start until that point on these episode. Everyone, not just our two miserable boys had their moments. We had Kaiou dragon guy, that really worked hard till his death. Even he forgot to had a fun in the holy night. Sounds depression, i guess. When the other side, the chinese dude, finally been able to adapted much with his whole new life. He had so much fun, and held some good friendship termwith his clubmate. I am smiled. That was some great development over their whole huge characterization in harmony. Yeah, the direction over there seems pretty enjoyable in many levels, eventhough it still expected as heck, with how this show want to leave the impression. I am so satisfied.

Its not just him. On the other side of a table tennis, Peco finally found out his true self. The reason of why he playing, the reason of why he should be a table tennis player, the hero of himself. At last, goddamned it, just move on! So, everything somehow back to its starter again. The bald akuma, after his sudden retirement because of the fact of his dropped out, had a good terms for Peco too. I just lol out with their new relations. Its just, yeah, too pure for such a high-schooler like them. Lmao.

So, yeah, Peco must learnt the basic again. When smile just being his usual being again. When the others supporting characters, just being their supporting role to keep my main boys progressed a lot. The real deal must be heading in the next one. Thats it for now.

This episode was really good.
Gave a nice exposure to all characters and forged their motives.

I am loving this so far!

I half-expected Peco to say to his girl, "I thought I was your present".

Hey, Kong learned some Japanese!

I think Ryu's cousin likes him a little bit. I dunno. Tbf, it is shitty of him to stand her up :(

Look. I'm not one to judge how a guy should spend his Christmas... but jerking off numerous times to a huge poster of your teammate's girl/cousin is just sad in so many levels.

This anime doesn't mess around with the story it's trying to tell. Each episode only gets more interesting. What they did with Wenge's character is incredible. He's probably everyones favorite by now. Completely blindsided, how did they manage to make him this adorable!

Wenge learning Japanese and celebrating Christmas with the TT players at Katase is so wholesome.

I'm absolutely loving Sakuma's development. He's come to accept that he didn't have the talent for TT and the fact that he saved the one who he was greatly jealous of, is commendable. Peco's finally back to TT thanks to him. I was grinning throughout that scene.

Smile's gotten even better at the game but sadly he's becoming even more emotionless.:(

This episode was seriously good 😵‍💫😵‍💫 , the story and characters are really amazing so far !!

Also, idk if someone already shared it again because the first link someone posted for the karaoke song didn't work for me, so just in case,, https://youtu.be/mTpRRqPyRcU
The song is Midnight Flight by Shogo Hamada :)))

regarding the intro; Smile is the robot , Peco is the hero

the Robot destroys all in his path ,, tho cold hearted demeanor is actually warm on the inside
the only one who can warm him is Peco .. who's curretly in his Hobo arc as a candy connossior

yoooo ... that entire Christmas montage brought tears to my eyes

crazy .. Wenge was the most distant at the beginning of the show ,, now he's the biggest team player out of everyone

This was beautiful. A fucking masterpiece. This story is about life. I can't believe they made such a well-developed and beautiful show in just 6 episodes. Masterpiece. That Karaoke scene was fucking beautiful, loved every second of it. The drowning scene was exquisitely executed. 10/10 episode.

Rotation team from episode 1, so another crazy episode. There's three main pieces in this episode and all three were beautifully connected. Absolutely incredible.

The karaoke scene was beautiful. Fantastic episode.

A robot on a rampage...only the hero can stop it. So...is Peco (hero) going to finally defeat Smile (robot) ?

It was beautiful to see him fall into despair and then wake up as a feni.

The third and final stage of which what depression leads you to eventually being, trying to commit suicide. Thankfully, Peco got his shit straight and bettered himself, which in turn pretty much influenced Peco this episode to do the same.

Really liking this coinciding parallel between Smile and Kazama, with Smile believing in heroes, seeing as he was "saved" by one. And Kazama who just flat out doesn't believe in them. They somehow outdid themselves again, with this being yet again the best episode yet.
