| What does the family mean to cozmez and that to AkanYatsura? This episode is about this and however they think different about the family, AkanYatsura helped Kanata to find his twin brother. Lovely episode, I loved it, but I wonder, why the BAD BOYZ song was performed by the AkanYatsura and why not the CALL FOR FAMILIEZ? Or maybe the This is My Love from cozmez would be more suitable to this episode. So my only problem was the song, but I listen to the whole discography so many times, that the characters became totally the part of my life. |
| I've always loved the found family theme with AKYR, and the contrast with cozmez's biological family. Really glad this whole episode explored that, and one of my favorite parts about Paradox Live is the inter-group dynamics. Even though they are rivals in the stage battles, they can still get along and help each other. Glad the AKYR kids were able to talk to Kanata and to teach him that if family is the most important, then you should be do everything you can to find them, even if that means asking others for help. Although Reo and Satsuki fight all the time, but even then, they both very much consider each other family. When Satsuki said that he'd do anything to find Reo and Hokusai if they were lost, and Reo just sat in the back listening quietly. They truly are like brothers. The fight Kanata had with Nayuta was also well done, I didn't cry at this part when I listened to the drama CD, but I did in the anime ;_; It does almost feel like a miss not use CALL FOR FAMILIEZ in a family themed episode, but I suppose it lacks the punch when it comes to an introductory song for the group. I love both songs from the Family stage battle, though. There aren't that many emotional songs in the franchise, but those two are great, wish they could've somehow used them as a background insert songs in the episode. |
| 0:16 仁義 (jingi) - humanity and justice (esp. in Confucianism); virtue 18:04 雷麺亭 (raimentei) - thunder noodle restaurant The chef is also a character in this? Interesting. There is a pun in the lyrics of the song. ナンバー (nanbaa) - number, 何番 (nanban) - what number. This was quite wholesome. Reminded me of how my whole family would make a fuss and search for my grandma, then she just comes home and she's like "I was just taking a walk". |

| This episode was 1000000000/10. I love Hokusai with my entire body and soul. AKYR definitely have a very strong bond. |
| Best group is here finally! Love their whole family dynamic and how it contrasts Cosmez!! Iori as the fun yet serious father, Zen as the nagging mother, Hokusai as the responsible caring older brother, Satsuki as the rebellious middle child and Reo as the annoying little brother!!! ^_^ Also they’ve really toned down Kanata’s aggressiveness XD, but still love his character growth <3 Love the song too, even if I would have prwfered FAMILIEZ >.< Also finally we see Haruomi fully… he’s looking pretty rough and tired… (hmm… missing someone?! O.o) And small little hints to Nayuta’s secret! Next ep is Secret??? We’re on uncharted territory now! Are they going to adapt the Exhibition Shows or is it something new??? |

| It continually impresses me how simultaneously cringey yet cool each song is. It's so befitting of each group. Anyways, another episode about the importance of family/brotherhood. Every group displays their affection differently but are each others life line. Wonder if all 12 episodes will be this or will there be some more progression/highlight on the nuance of the competition |
| Well, this one was heartwarming. Just what i was needing tonight. |

| family, second favorite episode, just getting to know the painful backstories of both groups was great. Cat's Whispers seems to have the least traumatic/dramatic of the four groups though. Still wonder if something is up with Cozmez. Not sure what was up with the scene zooming in on the ramen bowl in the restaurant after they left. |

With this, every group has had their own episode. Hoping to see some more plot development going forward.
| @jekfrumstotferm Sososo, waiting for it. : ) But now I got fascinated what happened that mafia group became hiphop group. What process was behind this transformation |

I don't know if any of you guys knows Birdie Wing but Paradox Live gives me the same energy. Chaos, fun and being over the top - and I love it! Can't wait for more shenanigans to happen! (+gotta hype it up so we get the 2nd season with GokuLuck ok)
| @remember-Achmed GokuLuck is the greatest thing, which in the rap could happen!!! |
| The body proportions pisses me off. Their heads are too small for their goddamn body. (Someone pls get the reference). Crazy that the brother was just wandering around. At least both groups got closer to each other. I find it weird that we didn’t get to see cozmez perform. Have we even seen them perform once?? |

| i was excited to see akanyatsura! i like how this show takes on family. it being the people you choose, not the ones you're born within. it's refreshing, specially coming from japan. 🖤 i may still loke tcw's songs better, but akyr is so endearing as a group. they even made me like cozmez a little bit more. the only person i'm still struggling a bit to like is shiki. but i feel like we'll get to know him more still. |

| Akanyatsura such good bad boys. Every group pretty much having to help fix cozmez's problems. lol No but actually impressively done episode. I adore the dynamic between Akanyatsura and how they commit to their ideals. I understand they're familiar with Kanata and Nayuta because they come for them for shady jobs, but even so like Kanata said, it's not like they're friends, so it's really great to see how they interact with their community as well. One thing about the yakuza-- or really gangs in general that tend to get lost soemtimes even by gang members themselves is that they often formed for the sake of protecting the community. I feel like Akanyatsura has that ideal still--- not just that they have a strong sense of family within themselves but it goes beyond just them. I think that's actually really cool and is a pretty great thing to explore. As for cozmez, they ought to invest in some walkie talkies or something with their next measly shady job paycheck. |
