THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Some stuff went down this episode. Seems the little girl he tried to save in the flashback a few episodes ago was indeed Okuni. Poor Roman, apparently his dream girl is holding a bit of a grudge against him for not saving her as a child.(to say the least)

Also, if your on a stealth mission, don't bring your little sister who is a afraid of bugs along!

Next episode looks to be Roman feeling sorry for himself for the revelations this episode.

No wonder she's holding a gruge, when you see what her life is right now I don't think she's wiling to be in good terms with the one who let her go.

While I do feel sorry for Okuni for all the terrible things she likely endured as a result of not being saved by Roman when she was a child, it would be real hard to save anyone when 5-6 guys have you on the ground and are literally beating you to death.

Somehow I get the feeling Roman will end up having to kill Okuni in the end. That, or maybe even more likely, Magoichi, the guy posing as a policeman will kill her.

Hopefully I am wrong.

That was unexpected. I would have never guessed that Okuni was Otsu.

Okuni is certainly a versatile woman lol. I think I liked her as Meimei-san the most.

This is deeper than people give it credit for, and I think the coming episodes will prove that.

So the connection of Otsu and Okuni comes to light. I've already observed the similarity on appearance between the two of them on the previous episode.

I found it pretty obvious, tho.

Anyway it was a good episode, the best of the series atm, imo.

So I'd guessed right, she was really Otsu.

Finally what I was waiting for. I have a feeling it isn't going to end all that well, but I can't wait to see Manjiro come back to his senses in the metaphorical sense and shoot off to help her.

The big reveal was actually a few episodes earlier than I thought it would be, so I'm wondering where they are going to take this now. It looks like next episode will be helper-san hitting bottom until something or someone shakes him out of his funk.
Please don't feed the trolls!
In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student

Dang Otsu has died. Thought that little kid was something else. Din't know the child of Otsu was a child Roman help her.
In the preview looks like Roman will be bumbed, and a beard.
The way Roman fall into the river by the music was awesome.
Beginning was funny.
4/5

Edit: Who is that green hair girl? Her voice acting is simillar

I wonder if Roman still has the same fantasy as before now that he saw who Okuni really is?
