I fucking knew it..... I was hoping to never see him again, but I guess someone's craving for another beating from Fukuda-san.

I miss the epic Nizuma Eiji moments! When will he finally grace the episodes with more screen time????
Don't worry, Niizuma will get a lot of screen time in this season. After checking, this episode ended at chapter 122, Niizuma's arc starts in chapter 131 or 133, so 3 more episodes and one of the best arcs in Bakuman (imo) starts.

Nizuma has his own arc?? Awwww yeah! I missed him too!

I'm angry that Nakai's back, but it does make me want the guys to kick Nanamine's ass even harder.

I didn't like Nanamine, but really hated him after seeing that Shira's Robuta and Peace was canceled!!!!
Also, loved Yoshida running to Hiramuru's. I feel like Yoshida is an under appreciated character to fans, without him Hiramuru wouldn't be as hilarious.

Holy fucking hell! That ending made me burst out laughing! xD
Nakai really let himself go... At one point, it was obvious that he would make a come back, but I didn't expected it like this, his look totally surprised me. Aoki really dodged a bullet :P
She's much cuter with Hiramaru :3
Also that depressive obscessive psychotic is so funny :P

One thing that would be truly a mastermind plan is if someone could integrate Nanamine group and beat him on his own ground by sowing discord between them >=)

I wonder what Ashirogi Muto plan to do with their arc to beat him in the second chapter. If they can show how much better they are, by being a school manga, they can show that he really his inferior. But Nakai will obviously give him a huge boost. Even if he disgust me after what he did to Aoki, he sure have talent and respect in the mangaka world.

What upset me the most is that Hiramaru didn't pass because of that son of a bitch. Still, I like Nanamine as a ''vilain'' (even if I don't consider him as a vilain, it's just in a figurative way).

Ew, Nakai. I was glad to get rid of him last season. Ugh.

Nanamine's manga will eventually fall apart. If he can't keep consistent feedback it will get choppy.

Yeah, not excited about Nakia's return. I think it's well timed, but I'm just not a fan of the character.

I don't like this ashirogi vs antagonist thing to much. I prefer the friendly competition between them and eiji and everybody else. This is cool, but it's just not what's made this anime so great imo. It's all interesting, but I wouldn't exactly say I'm enjoying it too much.

So , Fifty heads are better than two ? No . Those two are out of their league .
The Importance of each other is very important because you work together .
As repulsive as is , we still have a shot to settle the matter . I hope for that .
Now that Nakai-san is back , I wonder if he would undergo a drastic change .
VERY GREAT EPISODE . He's still unforgivable after all .

Lmao Nakai came back, what literally nobody wanted. He's even more disgusting than before, I didn't knew that was possible.

How sad that Hatori joined this childish game of "destroying Nanamine with PCP" instead of accusing him to the head editor tbh.

Wait, Shiratori already got cancelled? That's the second time the author does this. They make such a big deal about a certain character upgrading their skills to publish their manga and when that arc is over, they cancel the manga asap. It already happened to Aoki's fanservice manga and now this. It doesn't only makes the previous arc useless but also it's annoying that literally nobody except Eiji manages to create a lasting manga on Jack. The longest one besides Crow was Hiramaru's one but it got already cancelled.

Nakai's back and oh boy did he let himself go completely. Jeez that's quite more than a dad-bod level right there. But it was an interesting move by Nanamine to hire him as an assistant to take the others down as revenge of sorts. Other than that, pretty good episode again as Ashirogi Muto looks to take down Nanamine with their authentic storyline that would kick the ass of Nanamine and his inconsistent fraudulent ones that he collects off the web to add collectively into his manga, although some people are showing signs of backing down and leaving the project behind. Also, while Hiramaru failed to get his manga serialized while Aoki did, at least he gets to be one of her assistants for the new manga while Katou went to join PCP beforehand. For a female who struggled to put her trust in men in the past (especially given what Nakai did to her before), it was nice seeing her grow mentally strong enough to let Hiramaru to her place as an assistant to help her out as her boyfriend.

this episode starts where ohba unique story starts to shine.
much like in DN it's battle of ideals, and even though the old manga creating style sure would be much preferred mashiro and takagi doesn't say it's wrong way but new, their only reason to battle is because it's against so many other authors who risk their live and jobs to create great manga in that way, and that's where the peak between them is highlighted.
but though all that, and beside the silly fact that from the 2nd episode of this arc more and more people knows nonamine's "trick", he misjudging his own way which have big weakness. so far for being genius or he just have too much confidence?

LOL hiramaru rulz. really like how they keep him in his own gag dimension though kou effection.

really missing eiji in this arc though.

Yeahhh was hoping for Nakai to come back. Really liked him before he became such a dick to Aoki and Katou and just in general. But it seems he’s still on the wrong path. Looked like he’s still full of himself. Not to mention, he’s weight seem to be even worse. Let’s just hope this is building up to his dramatic redemption.

I don’t really make predictions cos I don’t really catch on to things well but I feel like Niizuma’s declaration to end a series he doesn’t like in S1 has been a big Chekov’s gun. At first I thought he might use against Ashirogi to make our MC’s journey harder. But I can see Nanamine (or whatev his name is) winning against Ashirogi but Niizuma stepping in to cash in on his “cancel a series” condition.

Oh, I've been putting off finishing this season for a minute. It's a bit disappointing really, I was rather exciting at the start of season one, now it just feel like a chore to watch these episodes.

Hiramaru is probably the best part of this series now. His couple of scenes through this episode were a real breath of fresh air.

That being said, I wasn't expecting Nakai to return. And, if he did, I wasn't expecting him to become worse. I thought he would've learned his lesson after the fallout of his sexual harassment. Bleh, not looking forward to whatever it is he's planning to do.

I also dislike Nakai, of course, but it's also annoying how they try and correlate him being fat/getting fatter with him getting worse as a character. Kind of a cheap and outdated tactic. But I'm just nitpicking.

Also, who puts corn on pizza?

This series actually violated Nakai's character with that Aoki and that female editor thing now look at the size of him.
