This is my favorite episode so far, and it got Kanuka onto my list of favorite characters.

When Noa was at the fight scene, hoping Asuma would come soon with help and Kanuka showed up out of the mist, in a kimono, with Noa's helmet and a sword, I started clapping and burst out laughing so loud that my mom demanded to know what was so funny. :D

I love parody aspects in all media, and this episode was a great example of this, not to mention an all-around good part of the series.

Intensely parodic episode, and probably the funniest so far.

WTF LOL
I really like how the Yakuza involvement was very lighthearted instead of the usual street gang-like attitude.

And according to that next ep preview, Kanuka's going awaaaaay
NOOOOOOOOOOO
HOW WILL I GET MY REGULAR DOSAGE OF "SHARAPPU"!?

Yakusa Wars winner....Kanuka. I admit she grew on me this episode, but not enough to overthrow the great Shinobu.

As the drama follows the story of a handful of heroic and regular police officers, you can escape us every so often a comedy routine day. Given the narrative, we can dwell on the treatment of colllezionista outside the box, I saw that everything that creates man's art, it may be collecting it. Pretty funny episode.

Lol, love these kind of childish rivalries.

Had some Gintama energy to it (before Gintama existed).

Best episode! A rivalry between 2 families. Always trying to one up one another. The one guy just wanted to help the police at first but then the other guy got jealous and began to fight him. The fighting outside the house with the cherry blossoms was very nice to look at.

Great episode, i enjoy such goofy Patlabor more than a serious one, like in previous episodes. Above comments mentioned that this is a parody episode, but the only parody i think i recognized is Kanuka cosplaying Goemon, what were the other ones?

I guess it's a parody/comedy in a broad sense, I didn't see any specific references personally. And being a skilled swordfighter isn't a Goemon reference.

Incredible episode as many have said! The Yakuza bosses had me cracking up! I loved Noa putting them in their place and Kanuka going crazy.

that sword fight scene at the end though... Kanuka is quite simply badass if I dare say so.
