Pretty serious episode. In this period of time, I guess it's hard to hide something without being discovered.

Felt bad for the girl that got involved in the hostage crisis. Life is so tough in this show D:

Heizou and Zenpachi teaming up was great. Zenpachi is quite a skilled robber. He recorded everything he learned in a notebook. It was nice of them to help those two people. They were terribly mistreated.

This was such a great episode! Zenpachi was one funny and great old man XD. Heizou and him working together was such an enjoyable watch!

I kinda wish that Chugo didn't step in, I wanted that dirty official and his goons to get slaughtered by Heizou since they deserve it

Either way, this was yet again another great episode and Zenpachi was such a great and likable old man/theif.....Really happy that he had many more years to live and I was especially happy by how he helped that poor couple

Pretty much what I wanted to say. xD

That fart in the room was hilarious.

I really like Heizou's character, he doesn't just blindly preach justice because of his title, he tries to understand the person before taking action. Really evident with how he was willing to let Zenpachi go and how he asked the thief in one of the earlier episodes to become a spy for him. All in all, he's a cool guy. xD

Two light-hearted episodes in a row after nothing but heavies; they should spread these out a bit more evenly. Great dynamic with a one-off character. Heizou and Zenpachi would have made a fun duo.
Sieg Zeon!

He was actually defecating there. Lol. The sound was there so we'd get what he was doing.
He was defiling it alright. The residents would have a surprise. And they'd understand what's it about, hah.

I can't stress this enough: I love this anime so much, getting so many different feels each episode.

This was such a nice episode seeing Hasegawa being a thief for a day and helping that pair. His little stay with the old man was really entertaining to how is at the other side of his usual job, considering that he was not a bad man he kept his mouth shut decided to help him by giving him a break. Heizo is such a bad ass and enjoyable character.

It was so cool seeing the Chief delivering justice from the other side of the law.

It was a mandatory episode for this kind of series but it didn't prevent it to be good., thanks to the good chemistry or maybe the episode character alone.

The subordinate really fell down with no hope of ascent.

5/5

Ha ha ha, even better. That would be unforgettable.

Judging from next episode's preview I assume we'll finally meet Heizo's daughter's biological father, the thief he arrested years ago?

One of the best episodes of all the airing anime this season. Might increase my score from 8/10 to 9/10. Despite being episodic without a deeper overall plot this anime keeps delivering good small stories per episode.

Another solid episode. Kinda wish Zenpachi could be a recurring character. And Chugo, damn! The guy just can't quit prowling for whores xd. This is easily my favorite new show of the season.

It was a good episode, really liked it. About Zenpachi a robinhood type of a thief. Even Onihei decided to help him. Man he even farted before stealing the goods. This guy is something else. I love the relationship that the two managed to achieve and Zenpachi's reaction when he learned that he is Onihei was pretty golden.

Overall the anime is kinda underrated, not really the best anime ever, the story is episodic, but the story is pretty great. In last 2 episodes especially. Really hope more people will give it a try.

OMG! another great episode again!
Zenpachi was so shocked that it was none other than Heizo Hasegawa the Onihei that he's been cahoots all this time!
5/5.

thick episode, thanks to the pair formed during this story. Zenpachi and Heizo, together make sparks and what we have seen in terms of good deeds, make those two, the characters even more charismatic and well-liked to the viewer. Pleasant and entertaining the vision of this episode.

Beyond the bad taste, the scene is one of the most fun of the whole episode. XD

Lmao Onihei being on the other side of the law for the episode was refreshing, I thought!

This was crazy. Heizo is like the police, but one honest, he is such a good person. However, he went for a trip and during his break he tryed to be a thief with this old man. That's not right. What a hypocrite.

I don't think he was just farting. Which believe it or not, I've heard is quite common for thieves to do.

Excellent episode. Only flaw is the old man being stupid enough to reveal his robbery plans to a random traveller although his naive good nature explains this. A lot of different sides of the people and how they play off each other in a moral sense were shown here.

Usually, I'd criticize Hasegawa being a Mary Sue because he is. The guy can take down 10 guys with swords, stops bad people, and lives by his morals instead of the law all the time. But I like the guy and the show is more about the side characters and stories.

4.5/5

Great episode, looks like Hasegawa can't let the thiefes alone, and Chuugo can't leave the woman alone ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
