Narumi is such a badass. Holy shit, this guy really doesn't forgive when it comes to defending what he believes in. I respect that.

Glad to see Shirogane back although I have to admit that clown outfit looks a bit weird on her. (maybe it's the makeup or something) Masaru's bravery doesn't surprise me one bit by this point now.

However, I think this episode was more violent than I had thought. Good God, the amount of punishment Shirogane took on her body...

Oh shit, Narumi went berserk there.

Good episode again. The events revolving around Vilma were resolved a bit too fast for my taste, but it was still ok.

I like her character and think it's cool that she joined the circus.

Exceptional episode!

Directing of this show has been superb thus far and this episode was equally epic! Nishimura Satoshi, you’re a dime and thank you so much!

On one side, Narumi, now with his upgraded version, whopping those puppets was awe-inspirating and very heartfelt. All those extreme devil-like expressions hinted that he might quite possibly be losing his humanity slowly, or so at least in my opinion. Aqua Vitae’s abilities are still mind-boggling to me but there’s no doubt that it has assisted Narumi become the warrior that he is now. Back on course, what an exhilarating fight that was! Music and the action choreography were otherworldly and just the whole execution of it all was splendid! Even the dialogue was top notch and very emotional. It’s true that his life was saved at the cost of a few children and it has now become a part of his responsibility to fight and protect the kids, but the burden of it is immense it seems!
Poor automatas though, Narumi completely obliterated them! The rectangle-faced expression in particular to Narumi’s insane anger was extreme. Phew, he literally held on to the spikes just so that the puppet wouldn’t be able to run away! And that emotionless smug on his face, ooh scary! It was sad seeing him walk back to the kids and receive that treatment though, looks like he’s aware himself of how insane he’s become now. Lucille’s response was spot-on and Narumi accepting Guy’s scout to move away from the children was really heartbreaking. Even the conversation with the doctor. Damn, just the whole course of events was like a rollercoaster of emotions! Tom running in to hug Narumi was so heartwarming to see, it really was a huge relief. Thank you Tom, you have saved the living and caring heart of Narumi!

On the other hand, Masaru and Shirogane are back! I’m glad the adaption didn’t take as long a time as the manga counterpart did to revert back here. Anyway, the Vacation for the two of them started off well with Shirogane actually making a friend! Well, the friend didn’t exactly turn out to be a friend, however. It was predictable but it was a given. Shirogane recalling back to Narumi on a couple or so occasions was saddening, though. And jeez, what a fight that was! Shirogane risking her body like that to protect Masaru was courageous and looks like she has the Aqua Vitae too. I’m guessing all the Shirogane have Aqua Vitae in their system, judging from this alone.
Masaru resembling the offender’s sibling who happened to suffer from ZONAPHA Syndrome too was emotional, I must say. 2nd time now that she’s missed, good lord. I’m glad Shirogane hasn’t finished her off just yet and that she’ll be around in the Circus. Lol, that acceptance from the old man though, he nearly got a heart there! I’m looking forward to seeing how Shirogane gets along with her, especially after all that’s happened.

All in all, a brilliant Episode! I’m very much looking forward to next week’s episode! 7 episodes now and all have been astonishing, I’m really starting to expect a lot now, gah I can’t help it!

Narumi is a boss!

Another great episode, this has jumped into my top 5 for this season, it sucks that I caught up, it's much better watching episode after episode because it goes by really quick.


Those are some great screenshots. I always try to capture a few while I'm watching anime, but you got all the important ones I missed whilst I was eating my dinner lmao.

That new girl is really hot tho. That bit when she tries to make a move on Shirogane was exciting.

Narumi is such a beast.

This episode was great and this anime is easily in my top #3 for this season, along with Jojo's and the Slime-sekai. I'm excited to see more demon Narumi, he was a badass when he destroyed all those automata.

Shirogane is still great, Masaru continues to be the youngest kid with the biggest balls ever to exist, but that new girl is really hot.

I look forward to her making more moves on Shirogane, this will fill the void of no more Shirogane x Narumi for the time being until they meet again ;w;

What a blast for this episode!

Narumi, knowing his non-human status, decides to go forth the route of being a shirogane. Along with his violent state (which unfortunately cannot be avoided), it was exceptionally good.

Now, back to Shirogane and Masaru, the manga adaptation didn't disappoint going into their POV. This new lady, Vilma, seems to have an experience with a sibling similar to Narumi's shortcomings, and both made contact as friends, along being circus-mates. Masaru unfortunately is still being pursued for same reasons, and the epic fight between Shirogane and Vilma ensues, and the damage that Shirogane, being a non-human was more scary. What was expected was the courage that Masaru had, and not even a flinch. The result was both characters flashbacks that made them reconsider and live a better life.
So, with that Vilma is one with them.

This was the best episode ever since the last few where the action stood out with emotions and feelings hung in the balance. Now, let's go on with the circus act!

Narumi taking on those automata was cool.

Looks like Shirogane has the same healing ability as Narumi.

The first half outcome was bloody intense and the second half was also cool. Have a mix bag about how Vilma's event turned quick but still overall this episode was enjoyable as well. Both side Narumi and Shirogane somewhat similar development realizing their goal and feels like their events will eventually connect.

Man that was intense from both perspectives. This show is just a blast man, I love it. Also...got a new badass babe in the house. Nice little fanservice moment there ;)

A few things I don't understand:

1) How the hell are Masaru and Shirogane able to just dip out on school for them to pursue a life in the circus?

2) If money is a problem, why can't Masaru just fund the construction of a circus with his wealth?

3) What happened to the other puppeteers he hired and why aren't they around anymore?

Don't believe the hype.

I don't wanna say i have answers but the adaptation played with the original material in the manga. Narumi's things were supposed to happen like 6-7 volumes after the episode when at the end we find out he's still alive. Dunno what to say except read za mango.

This episode was over the top again, but nothing compared to the last one. Seeing Narumi become a demon to protect the kids was a bit disturbing though, but he is pretty much fighting demons after all, so I guess that he had to become one. And I understand that the miraculous elixir makes the Shiroganes have an inhuman regenerative ability, but shouldn't blood loss still be a problem? Something tells me that a knife to your head is a bit much too, but. lol

Shirogane was finally being more sociable too, only to find out that the friend she made was there to kill Masaru. I loved to see Shirogane drinking strawberry milk instead of beer though; and well, things were solved too quickly, so it didn't have much tim for the impact to land, but I guess this is going to be like this now. And going by what Shirogane said, her blood has the same effects of the elixir, so, is she wrong, or could Narumi, and Guy, and possibly the others Shiroganes, if they exist, donate blood to those kids and save them? If so I guess that Narumi is going to be mad if he finds out, but the source of the problem still has to be destroyed so, okay.

1) Didn't they say they were on summer break?
2) Valid point. Seriously. Guess it's the whole you gotta earn the funds yourself bull.
3)Not needed currently? Also i think maybe they were just hired for that one job, who says they'll babysit him forever (especially when he's got Shirogane)

A lot of action in today's episode.
We return with the fight of the previous episode where Narumi and Guy fight against a group of automatons, Narumi transformed into a destruction machine, he destroyed all the automatons that got in his way, besides that every damage he received was cured of Immediately, having already defeated all the enemies, Narumi pays the price of his great destructive force and it is the fear that he generates in children, Narumi accepts to be a Shirogane.
While in Japan, Masaru and Shirogane join the circus, Shirogane as a clown was fun, but not all is fun, a new enemy appears, Vilma an expert killer with knives, Shirogane confronts her, but in the end they become friends, but not knowing that Vilma's goal was to kill Masaru.
Shirogane risked her life to save Masaru, the scene where Shirogane is covered with knives while her white clothes are dyed with her blood was a pretty shocking image, but it seems that Shirogane can also be cured immediately, this gives her the advantage and defeats Vilma.
In the end Masaru asks Shirogane not to kill Vilma, the woman respects the decision of the boy and Vilma decides to join the circus as the new knife thrower.

That was a great episode.

The Shirogane and Vilma fight was my highlight, but what surprised me the most was that Shirogane has the same procedure as Narumi. I guess those two were destined for each other. I'm glad Vilma joined the circus she really seems interesting and I hope she will have more impact on the show.

I also liked seeing Narumi ripping apart those puppets, but I still don't understand their existence like how are they created?

Velma’s design and her flirtatious attitude reminds of catwoman for some reason.

I noticed Shirogane thought she was hired by Masaru’s brother. What? There’s no brother that’s been mentioned.

So Masaru is gathering members to join his circus, don’t care for any of them though (except Shirogane ofc).

Shirogane has aqua vitae. Well if you had that all along, why didn’t you have Masaru take some of your blood before 🤦‍♂️
I know why, because it weren’t introduced until Narumi resurfaced.

These were explained in manga but anime skipped them.

1) They quitted school. In an anime-skipped arc the remaining killer group came to school and hurt Masuru's classmates. After the event Masaru didn't want to endanger his classmates any more and so left.

2) Masaru didn't want other people know he was rich. He was afraid that the circus members would change their altitudes after knowing.

3) Masaru paid them well (1 billion yen) and they left after Masaru fully recovered from the injury.

I knew that my OTP were connected, they both had life water/aqua vitae which made them heal their wounds faster. Could they possibly be immortal? No spoilers please.

Anyway, Narumi is such a fucking badass. He would do anything to protect those kids. Same with Shirogane, except her focus is on Masaru alone.

New character, Vilma, was introduced! She kinda reminds me of Nico Robin plus she looked kinda hot seducing Shirogane towards the end.

I was wondering if Masaru received any pocket money or he wanted to keep the fact that he's a rich kid from the circus. I think his family could easily fund their circus but perhaps he's keeping it a secret to avoid trouble. I was wondering since Shirogane is working as a white face clown to earn money to support their traveling circus.
