THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
An external country's president visits Japan, and trouble might as well start even before the investigators start their usual high-profile guarding jobs. Predictability-wise, Daisuke comes in with his Balance:Unlimited monetary abilities as an esteemed guest.

Heck, for Haru's colleagues standing in preparation outside the embassy's doorsteps just in case trouble comes, and it's not long before things start to spiral out of control of a murderer in the House, disguised as a terrorist to assassinate the president.

As usual, AI HEUSC's abilities help out a ton in decoding the situation, and leaving no chance even if it goes off as long as the president is safe and sound. Why Suzue is there is a mystery though, and the old man cleaner is there too, it's a puzzle to decipher.

Back with the usual action.

First in-episode deaths, one killed, one suicided, it starts to get more violence, while I can forgive bad things that happened outside the anime (as I'm not a part of cancel culture), I can't forgive bad things that happened inside the anime.

Funny that they made it seem like Suzue was going to do something, and in the end they went like nope, just kidding.

We got some big plot devices this episode with the bomb being from the Kanbe family and him unable to get access to it, this is probably going to be used in the next few episodes.

Pretty solid episode. The bomb being from the kambe family adds a nice twist that’ll be fun to watch unfold in the coming eps. Nice set up episode today. Wonder why suzue was there.

Hmm, so Kambe's family was involved in the creation of the bomb and his relatives haven't given him permission to learn more about it.
That's an interesting plot point that I hope is shown in a satisfying way.
Also, I hope I'm not the only one that noticed the old man of Haru's team seem suspicious for some reason, as well as their boss.
Hope the show delivers.

One more episode and the question is..

What was Shizue doing there?... at the end it was just like "Sorry, finally not"
One more good job for our two dispair agents, with the thing of Kanbe family getting involved with the bomb.. really interesting (probbably this means more in next episodes)

Entertaining episode as always!

I don't think she doesn't still come out as mysterious
I'm pretty sure attracting a BL demography was the marketing plan of the studio?
No way they did not expect so
Still hope they'll bring them closer romantically
That would make me enjoy the show even more
Suzue is cool

did you not watch the last episode where Kambe said they are relatives? She is probably a cousin or half-sister. Also I think people keep referring to the novel improperly, or are confusing details from a live action adaption that came out some years ago. That adaptation also changed things around from the novel.

I don't think the novel has ever gotten a proper english translation. Yet I've seen many folks throw around translations from the novel, that I've seen later proven wrong by people who can speak Japanese properly enough who did read the novel.

Besides, the anime should be regarded as a very loose adaptation of the novel. Plus the marketing for the anime has made it abundantly clear they are catering to female audiences with the Haru and Kambe pairing

well it looks like we are finally getting some actual plot that will continue into the next episodes. Not that I've disliked the previous episodes with their more self-contained stories. Hopefully things don't get rushed towards the end since this is only an 11 episode cour because it's a Noitamina show.

Things got a little wild this eps. My big take away was balance guy was locked out of his own system and if it hadnt of been for MC he would of been screwed. An excellent balance (no pun intended) for the dog episode. This show gets better and better!

Oohh we starting to peek into the cracks of Daisuke's life this episode & it seems like there's some problems in the Kanbe family...

Things are starting to get so interesting at this point with the hint that there's something off about the Jii-Chan of Modern Crimes and feeling that there's a deeper plot that'll be revealed soon.

Since ep.1 it's been annoying me that the First Division treat Modern Crimes like there trash... but this episode proved it's not entirely unfounded; the only useful members of the team are Daisuke & Haru! The rest just slack off and try to get away with doing as little as possible!

The most important take-away (in my opinion) that I got from this ep was Kambe commenting that he's never going to "inherit" the company"

Which is also probably why he doesn't have security clearance for info on that bomb....which begs the question then.....
WHO is going to "inherit the company" then?

HMMMMMmmmmm.....

edit: Why are people confused about Suzue being there? Obviously she was monitoring Kambe from afar, noticed the signal jamming and out of worry (because she is overprotective of Kambe) tries to rush to his side in a panic.....of course we get trolled into thinking she's gonna save the day cuz she crashed her bike while swerving to avoid random kitty crossing the street

That sneaky old man XD what was he using the secret room for? lol But, if it wouldn't be for him and that master key, Haru and everyone wouldn't been able to save Kambe and the other two from the deadly gas. I'm very glad they made it out alive in time in the end! The whole show will be meaningless if Kambe were gone ;-;

Well, that's new... for the first time, Kambe wasn't autorized to access an information. I wonder what's going on >_>

lmao literally. i could feel it in my bones since i watched the trailers. I totally remember anitwt immediately deciding they didn't like Suzue when the first episode aired bc of how she was a love interest before and how Daisuke is bridal-carrying her in the opening. So like maybe the change was for the best honestly

With this episode, was anything explained about the food that was mysteriously delivered? I was instantly like "oh its poisoned obv" but maybe it was just meant to blend in with the food->bomb delivery

This was a pretty intense episode, i think that Daisuke felt for the first time that his balance and powers aren't unlimited, so i take a guess that he will take over the company in order to gain full control.

Again Haru was the one to save everything.
It was a great episode with a great ending.

I do hope someone will count all the costs from all episodes xD

I was surprised that Daisuke didn't have the authority to do something.

Hashino is so uncooperative. He hardly reveals any information! It must suck for him since Katou—despite having lesser information—gets the job done.

Suzue was just there. She had no relevance to the plot of this episode. lol. It felt like she was only present to increase the length of the story. That kind of reminds me of the ways I used to increase the word count for my English essays. haha.

I thought the old man was secretly an important person, but I can't believe he just made a spare key to use the room for his private fun time. lol.

Yet another great episode leaving me with even more questions, so good!

Curious to know what Kanbe's thoughts are now that he knows his current position is limited, this might change his mind of becoming the head of the family business.

My guess is that his family company is somewhat related to this “secret group” and in order to get access to the information he needs to be head of the company.

Can't wait for the next episode! o/

Great episode. So Daisuke isn't really inheriting the leadership position of the company. Old grandmother still seems to be in control. (He seemed to respect/obey her at the beginning of episode 3.)

Suzue might be a sister or cousin - and inhetiting the company. I guess it is still possible to explain that she is a "relative" (like he said in episode 4 I think). Not unusually for sisters or cousins to like someone form the family. She must really "love" him and he probably carries here (opening scene) only as a favor so she will take the leadership position in the company ... while he is free to "play detective" with the money.

Also he doesn't have access to every data - interesting in this episode when he wanted the layout of the building.

I was pretty much surprised learning the fact that Daisuke Kambe isn't going to be the family head anytime soon despite being the fact that he was sent to meet a President on behalf of his grandmother. I was under the impression that Kambe had pretty much everything under control but then he was denied access to something important that too when his life was at risk. Some interesting plot development is ahead it seems.
That old man from the Modern Crime divisions looks a bit suspicious seeing how he was being shown in some critical scenes.
Also Katou being the savior and looking so cool. Why isn't everyone talking about it?

This is getting more and more interesting! A serious episode focusing on the terrorist attack by the opposition. That president's attitude quite problematic tho.

There seems something going on inside or around the Kambe family. Daisuke don't want to be the successor of the family. HEUSC also didn't help Daisuke that much this episode, Daisuke is even not allowed to access certain info. Good thing Haru saved them.

The Metropolitan Police Department kinda seems suspicious too, especially Chosuke. Chosuke is around the crime scene, it looks like that he is who operated that signal jammer. And Daisuke appears to be thinking the same way, he is now investigating Chosuke.

But, this episode is also funny. Kamei's strength level appears to be low. And that janitor is doing private matters in that room, but good thing he's doing that because he got a spare key. lmao. Poor Suzue tho, her outfit is a bit cool yet she encountered an accident; welp, at least the cat is safe.

Anyway another great episode. Poor Suzue though. Poor thing almost died. Too bad Ricardo is dead. He seemed like an interesting character and wanted to learn more like about his background.

why do i feel like the anime used the 3 month hiatus to change suzue and daisuke's relationship...? they were love interests in the novel and it's weird how they turned her into a relative. plus the scene in this episode where suzue reached haru and co cut off way too abruptly. its like they cut off scenes that may have shown more of their romantic aspect. the anime probably did not expect to get the attention it did from bl shippers and such so maybe they changed their relationship? if thats the case its pretty upsetting, seeing how they completely strayed from the source material.

plus its sus how the producers kept trying to hide her identity and keep up her 'mysterious' image but the big reveal was an offhand comment about how shes his relative? nah. somethings not adding up.

Haru doesn't even exist in the source material lol

Yoo that janitor literally saved their asses by using the safe room and doing inappropriate "things" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ).

I think this is the episode I enjoyed the most so far. I'm really curious about the developments involving Kambe's family. And the fact that HEUSC is not following his orders is pretty alarming.

Good episode overall.

Episode worked very well with the drama and suspicious plot, but the jokes with the janitor not talking at all just did not worked out very well for me. The sense of humour of this episode was kind meh, but the darker narrative was on point.
A terrorist, suicide and some misterious stuff about Kemba family, really interesting. Kind hyped for the next issue

i am speaking strictly about the show, not about the novel. people are claiming that the anime itself is being changed from what it was originally like at the outset, that they had not originally planned for suzue to be a relative.

i was just noticing a pattern of when that theory is brought up

the anime has a specific demographic here that is definitely not the same as the novel. im not denying that the show is designed to appeal to the fans. i mean the whole last episode was scientifically formulated to appeal to bl fans

but to assert that this was not the original intention is kind of ridiculous to me
