So an old criminal that Doug once caught wanted to talk to him this episode

The story revolving about the Esperanza feels rather suspenseful in terms of plot development. I wonder what they are truly after. The enemy with the make-up they fought seems to be also be able to use some mysterious powers (not Anthem?) I'd say this was the most intense case yet in the show so far.

Gonna take a little guess here and say since this is connected with the Tiger and Bunny universe perhaps B is a next

That was a solid episode. Interesting case in this one.

It had a more serious tone to it so that was cool.

Too many top villains, with just 13 episodes I'd put only one big boss and one twist-ending character. The ugliest thing from T&B is that it was very successful (top 1-2 in NHK biggest anime poll last year) yet so few continuous media.

absolutely loved this episode, really liked how it used a darker tone to set up its villains. this ep also makes it pretty obvious that this show will eventually wind up connecting to Tiger and Bunny, as B clearly came off as a NEXT. Also, based on the preview, im really hoping that the next episode is some sort of take on a cops style reality show, which sounds absolutely hillarious imo. great episode as always, kind of a shame that more people aren't watching it tho.

I'm enjoying this show a lot so far. I love that Kirill and Derick are friends now, the way the skipped over their first encounter had me laughing so hard.

Best episode so far.

BTW, was this meta-humor? She resembles a lot to feminists so...

Crazy superpowered edgelord (without using Anthem) coming in out of nowhere and completely changing the tone of the series!? Now this 100% Samurai Flamenco 2.0! Also somebody get Sacred Slayer Matoi in here to kill Creedo Killa. Even the episode was named Kroyd Killer lmao! This is top tier meme material!

Or you know, he's probably a NEXT and that's how this connects with T&B. Yeah, probably that...

That twist at the end got me, wasn't expecting that at all.

This show finally got better with this twist. I haven't watched many of T&B but sure things are looking better now.

What's with doing Still CG frames? Is this Goblin Slayer too? lmao

The show finally started the story after few introduction episodes. I liked the plot twist they pulled at the end, reminds me of the movie "The usual suspects".

ion know like I'm just very disillusioned w/ police in general so I'm very skeptical abt this show :/ like the pink girl? she's not rebellious or whatever for joining the police force and then using excessive force and jumping to conclusions. but whatever I'm gonna reserve my judgements. i like kirill he's cute and likable. and the ending song is kind of fun, and theres lesbians, so like i dont hate this show. depending on the themes later my opinion might change though. but this episode was alright

I don't have a lot to say. I knew the old man was not not really disabled and that the abusive police was an accomplice. So, I wasn't really surprised by the revelation of things.

Kirill felt kind of inconsistent this episode.

The part where Kiril got Doug's old partner met got skipped was my favourite. I love the narrator. (I hope we do get to see it one day.)

When the police guy got killed for wasting food, I chuckled a little. He'd make a good grandmother.

Damn, what an intense episode this was!

Doug and Kirill were totally hopeless against the might of B and that cliffhanger in the end further implies just how off the two are regarding this whole case. Astonishing stuff! I must say, though, B boss’s plan was masterful and the implementation of it, getting locked up in jail for years, was even more superb!
I’m curious to see how the battle between Seven-O and Anthem-users go! Next episode will probably not involve such a thrilling story but I’m looking forward to it regardless.

Don't project yourself onto me if you got triggered.

For the first time, I am looking forward to the next episode instead feeling "meh" about it. I did like this episode.

I'm trying to not be bias against this show because I really do want T&B season 2 more than anything. However, this anime does strike me as being kinda fujoshi bait since Doug and Kirill (even with Doug commenting a few episodes ago how Kirill kind of looks like a girl) are very slashable. This is even with the lesbian characters which is a nice change of pace.

Sorry, I just really miss Kotetsu and Barnaby.

As some other comments have stated this episode was more serious and a little bit darker. A few nice comedy moments early on complimented the action and suspense that followed. Overall I thinks it's settling-down as a well balanced little series. Let me be your Double Decker ;)

It seems that the main villains have been revealed.

The old man was very suspicious from the start.

I found the episode to be extremely weird probably because Kril turned out to be the voice of reason while Doug was caught up in his emotions. To me, it was obvious that the entire thing was a plot to escape and I suspected the crossword puzzle from the very beginning. However, I didn't expect that Zabel was the boss. I can't wait to see what happens next.
