Damn, half of the episode was the rap battle, and I loved it! Honestly not a huge fan of Japanese rap (versus Korean rap), but I think they rapped in a palatable way for me here. Loved the different beat styles they chose for the two rounds. Also really cool that it was very clear they both had their own styles. Chiba Shouya did an amazing job with Kabe's emotionally charged rapping, and Okiayu with Kongming's chill singing rap. And it all came together really well with the backstory and mad respect to the translator.

Also, I totally relate to Kabe being rather socially inept :'D I've had many moments just like the one in his flashback where someone asked a simple question, but my brain thought at the speed of light and tried to come up with a "proper" response only to answer in the most awkward way possible LOL.

In the end, so much angst and "I won't rap anymore" bs just to have Kabe stepping on stage at the slightest sign of provocation from Kongming. Well, that was easier than expected.

But man, this was such an enjoyable episode. The rap battle was simply fantastic and some of those deliveries sure were brutal. Gotta guess Kabe is more of the offensive kind of rapper.

Also seeing Eiko cheering for Kongming was just so cute.

Was an interesting episode, but I like how there was an explanation for why Kabe's stomach does not hurt anymore. Was afraid that it would be contrived.

Pretty cool episode. a whole half episode for MC battle is pretty brave... if only I enjoy Japanese rapping more.
I definitely prefer Eiko both as a character and as an acting performance, and in their in-universe content as artist.
So I really hope the focus will return to Eiko soon. Really didn't like that they don't animate Eiko's stage performance here. But ah well, I guess they just don't want to take the focus away from Kabe to Eiko.

also oh they have DJ Satori cameo as music producer for the rap battle? that's cool.




ps.: or idk. there are a few JP rappers I enjoy, but you prob can count them with the fingers in your hands. and all of them really big names. Chiba-san (the seiyuu) sounds decent, imho, but... idk, his rap lack the charm for me? idk really.

Really enjoyed this episode; the Eiko song and the battle. I like how Sekitoba just randomly showed up next to Eiko and commented on the battle as you'd typically see in shonen fights

It’s ironic that’s Todo VA from Jujutsu Kaisen lmao. The guy commenting throughout his fight w Itadori in the Kyoto exchange event lol

Heh welcome to the gang, Kabetaijin!

Though i am bit of surprise the episode spending almost the entire time depicting the battle rap between Koumei and Taijin. I expect a less of it because you know the result already written out before the rap was even began xd. I also already expect Koumei to do something to ease out his stomach problem. Even though the thought of process behind it still unreachable for me, as how its show's how Koumei used the bartender to mix Kabe drink with his medicine xd. More importantly there still some trick laid down behind Koumei in order to make a sure Kabe joining the team!

Alright, another very well done episode and i truly looking forward to see the last member of Koumei party people....

Goodness, what a fantastic episode. The rap was so well-done and loved the stand battles detail. They did a good job of fleshing out Kabe's character. Eiko was extra cute this episode.

Best episode thus far.

Dang, the rap battle was on fire! ♪☆\(^0^\) ♪(/^-^)/☆♪ They even have Stands xD

Eiko singing really pulls the character's heartstrings. Glad Kabe finally awakens to his slumber. The informant Eiko fan did a really good job getting the song which will remind of Kabe's rap passion. Kongming even involved bartender-san to cure Kabe's ulcer; old Chinese medicines really are effective. Kongming behind the scenes is terrifyingly amazing. (ᅌᴗᅌ* )

Looking forward to Eiko and Kabe performance together. I'm really eager to see them perform the ED, Kibun Joujou. I hope they do it .(~ ̄▽ ̄)~

Rap might be one music genre that I'm not a big fan of, but I absolutely loved this rap battle between Kabe and Kongming!

The whole plan in getting Kabe to join, as was shown after the rap battle, once again shows just how far Kongming will go in order to make sure he'll achieve his objective. Kudos to the superfan for being an strong informant to Kongming which helped here.

Thanks to the medicine within Kabe's drink, as well as the song Eiko sang which evoked memories from Kabe's past in what got him into rap in the first place and the stage was set. It led to two intense battles involving Jojo stands at one point, which was rather awesome. Credits to the VA's for a solid job here and also big praise to whoever is responsive for the translation, too. ^_^

Now with Kabe joining up, the plan is coming together nicely now. I look forward to seeing both Eiko and Kabe perform on stage, hopefully soon. =)

Came to this episode after kaguya’s new episode and Ouh this getting me hooked up for some jap rap !!! I could vibe up to good shit… lessgo paripi koumei !!!
If there was no one else within a 5-kilometer radius from Shimamura, and she was in a deep sleep and an all-knowing deity just happened to reassure me that she wasn’t going to wake up the next 24 hours, maybe I’d get bored after 23 hours and I might kiss her once to relieve some boredom...

KabeTaijin has join Eiko/Kongming team.
Great Rap battle, I'm amazed seeing their own seiyuu rapping. Great seiyuu indeed.

Of course, kongming planned everything well, including his ulcer pain before the rap battle begin.

It's funny when almost everyone in this anime know about the Three Kingdom. Only Eiko and the bartender that isn't familiar with the three kingdoms.

Now we're spitting bars without going out of each characters' style and sticking to the rules. Excellent episode on the music department, I'll need to dig farther into the verses later.

The fight between Zhuge Liang vs Kabe Taijin was really satisfying, both played very well. I was touched when Zhuge Liang said some Chinese poetry. Also, I laughed out loud too when Eiko listened to what Zhuge Liang had to say.

Ahahah the rap batlte was great, though in my heart Kongming won to be honest he had the best lyrics compared to Kabe, and anyway he still won his first strategy with the man he hired to manipulate him into what he wants with the stomach medicine and searching for his favorite song, damn what a mastermind
