Damn, that is one nasty Minimum User this episode.

And of course, we see Art making his move again. Not surprising there. The fight was okay I guess. Checkmate? Na.

Wow Art's at it even more with his work again. People are right he is pretty much Morel 2.0 here. Well it was nice to see some flashbacks of him and Nice. That was one crazy miminum. It seems the power is really more broad then I thought. I wonder what happen to Honey also?

I'm actually liking this season quite a bit more than S1. I guess it's because Art is a way better antagonist.

Baby carrying BA? Oga! Is that u? XDXD

500 yen detectives...well at least way better than Yato's 5 yen business XD

Dat art! in briefs XD Making people go mad lol

Dat Loli Honey <3

Loved the teamwork when they owned Art.

What happened to Honey though? Did Art do that, was it a side effect of always using her powers?


Also why is everyone super happy when their minimums are taken?

That Wind Minimum guy in the beginning carrying a doll behind him was pretty pathetic.. Absolutely no comparison to Oga! XD

I like how Birthday brought up the analogy between wallet and minimum and it instantly became topic of discussion.

That loony looking guy Samura's Minimum was quite terrifying; captivating paintings overtaking people to awaken a destructive impulse.

Honey suddenly having a kid's personality was actually cute. :3 . Not sure what triggered it though..

Team Hamatora's teamwork against Art was awesome! Ratio did most of the work though.

Gasuke catches his partner having a corrupt connection. Saikyou = Art, perhaps?

Good episode. Art is quite the cunning antagonist this season!

Moral number 2 is so pissing me off right now... Seriously how come he can extract the minimum just like that? oO

And really he made or could have made quite some victims there by releasing the insanity minimum holder... His minimum wasn't even taken was it?

I don't understand why he would want to defeat Nice... it's not like he's abusing his power or anything... He seriously have such an inferiority complex, he should have left or expelled from facultas academy instead of hanging on ><

This season is definitely better than S1 so far imo

The psycho dude in this creeped me out and his Minimum was even creepier

Loved seeing Art kick ass yet again and I like how he's pretty much able to kick Nice's butt lol but Team Hamatora kicked his ass in return which was awesome :)

I wonder who the mystery person is though...

WHAT IF ART'S MINIMUM IS STEALING MINIMUNS?!?!

Nice is so funny xD

Good episode

Something demotivating about Nice's minimum was told, fuuuu, he has the speed of sound, why would his minimum only have a range of 5 meters? or inside those 5 meters he could just go and use more 5 meters, and then the same thing again and again, that makes no sense at all...

So, Art can have infinite minimums, well, thats OP. I'm guessing Honey got caught by a minimum while using Mighty. And damn, that minimum is a scary one. Insanity, huh? I'm still curious about why Art is doing all this.

Stealing of the power...

Cute young friends. So that ex-police had a younger brother.

A minimum to affect people to kill each other, by the drawing he did. Ex-police also wants his power, and that spy girl's power somehow stolen, too.

-Strange thing happening with Honey and that prisoner. Affect of minimums, unconsciously caused by Hajime (they where around her at the time), or something more?


hmm I was thinking this as well...

I'm loving this season very much till now and I have no idea where this is going. I can only hope for some more awesomeness.
that flashback was cute.
I disagree with the people saying Art is the new Moral. I mean Art doesn't really kill and I think his motives will be... less crazy?

Art is way too OP, and what's sad is Nice is doing absolutely nothing but crying over how his friend has turned to the dark side..

The story is good, a LOT to unravel from this enigmatic anime.

Whoa, if the whole series was like that I would watch it without this much rewinding. Art was the most interesting character of the first season, but now he is truly impressive.

To me it seems pretty logical: to solve the problem of inequality, you rob everyone of their supernatural powers, the opposite of what Moral was doing. But no-o, they make it cause the "side effect", and also hint on some scary person behind it.

By the way, can someone explain me, how Art manages to steal people's powers by sticking a syringe in their necks? Moral needed to hack heads off. Did I miss something? (I watch only bits of episodes, so I pretty much could miss everyting, but, please, explain, if you know.)

Ok that was some serious shit there. Insanity Minimum? Yeah.....even the guy is crazy.

What I don't get is that Art had a brother, but what the f happened to him? Is this the main motivation behind Art's drive to do what he is doing?

Now things are getting darker.

Whatever dislike I felt about the whole Art Plot Twist has been negated. Art is so much better Antagonist than Morel, not to mention that I like it when an Antagonist has put an effort in every episode rather than be an OP dude who can only be beaten in the final ep.

I don't think that he released the guy... hell, he did not even try to take his minimum but instead just dispelled the effect (thus killing the point of letting him go). In other words, Art came to save those entranced humans and try to beat Nice while he is at it.
I think that we have two major antagonists here, and that the other one is this Saikyou guy and he released the Artist with his own agenda.

It seems to be balanced by him being able to use a Minimum only once it seems.

Nope, Art is weak. He has many Minimums yes, but he can only use them once and lacks expertise in them. Yeah, he is smart but so is Nice and it is only a matter of time until Nice, the supposed genius, comes up with a better idea.

I can see your point, but this Art guy is eliminating these supposed 'experts' in their respected minimums (Paper, the wind guy), and quite easily at that. Was it only until he fought the group who worked in together were they able to inflict some damage - given that Nice wasn't doing anything.

Didn't he use all of his collected minimums against Nice + co.? The wind attack, light bending all more than once.

Following this theory, if Art can interchange through minimums without problem, then indeed he is over-powered relative to other minimum holders but not in the typical sense where like you mentioned...

It is refreshing to see the villain grow stronger as the story progresses.

I used to like Art very much, and admire his sense of justice and his friendship with Nice but now I can't help but see him as nothing more than a coward. He is really pitiful stealing all the minimun holder's abilities so he can feel better about himself because he wasn't a minimun holder, now he wants to have every ability and wants everybody to feel like he once did before all of this happened. I really dislike him now. I'm hoping something will happen to make him change or at least where he has a really good reason as to why he is doing this and why he is trying to kill his best friend.

If art is trying to save the world by getting rid of all of the minimum in the world...then it won't work since he can't commit suicide after he collects them all. Or he's going to just keep collecting minimum for eternity since more minimum holders will be born.

And i thought the minimum he injected will only last for a period of time...but no they really became his. I wonder if theres a limit to how much his body can take. Maybe after he regenerate it will be a reset.

Um... is that guy supposed to be a rip-off Oga and baby Beel lol?

Yet another guy gets his minimum taken away by Art.

So we get to see Nice and Art when they were little.

The insanity minimum sounds like big trouble if Art gets his hands on it.

I guess Art will use the crowd to get his hands on that guy hmm.

Pretty funny how Honey turned into a lil kid mentally XD.

So they had to gang up on Art in order to stop him lol.

It's pretty sad that the guy who leaked the info was Gasuke's partner.

and here we go. the children having waaaaay more interesting stories than the adults lol. leaving me so thirsty for more!
(also art must have a hard time letting go of his childhood, since he literally made his hairstyle just as when he was a kid ._o)
rather mysterious side effect for the holders having their powers taken away...hm...

holy cow, that old man is freaking disgusting. way down in creepyville,man. couldn't stand looking at him. ugh.

i thought there was the hugest plot hole ever in this one. if the man patted him "thoroughly" ( ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) then how on earth could he have ignored the signs? luckily that was pointed out :P

good grief, kid-mode honey sounds like komari-chan from little busters. i mean even if it isn't her she's such a sound alike. (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kuGkeFtTUHM) i mean even haijime didn't know what was going on so there will most likely be an explaination. maybe when they use their power too much at one tine, this is what happens (like in code breaker)?

that hand touching part kind of angered me though lol. HOW DARE YOU DEBASE MY POWER LIKE THIS D:< i was pretty scared that art would find a way to take away nice's power. thank god for murasaki.

i know this is late but they call theirselves the "detective duo", right? so what do ratio and birthday do?

i was glad the problem was solved without op characters beating up average humans again as well.

now, i know about art being a "Moral 2.0" and i don't really think that. but even taking that into account you must admit he's 100% better. even if not for that, he's not as ANNOYING as him, right?
it's episode 3. no-one's going to get much of a hint of what art truly wants. and i must say, for how smooth things are going so far, i am comfortable enough to expect a full explanation later on.

really liked the atmosphere of the episode with the characters, even the gross behind man. good episode!

Art's getting OP, uh-oh! Wait for Nice to kick his ass in the last episode again, just like Moral's. I kinda don't get how can Art now extract the essence or something with just a syringe, and not anymore a full brain. But I guess that'll be explained later on...
