| Haha, starting off with a Ranma 1/2 Super Famicom/SNES game reference? That's gold. The train battle, I wanna know the reference so badly though, it's very reminiscent. No wonder, it's Doctor Yellow, the Shinkansen's maintenance train. Got a laugh out of the Bob Epic Team segment, that was some rhyming shit goodness. The Megaman reference was good too, and so is the Haiku segment. NOICE. The dumbass personality facial fight was so weird though. Overall, I felt that this wasn't quite the episode of balls-off-the-wall insanity. Oh well, try again next week. |

| Okay, so Train Battle is the theme for this week's episode, and who knew that Shinkansen were outfitted with the technology for this sort of eventuality? I just love how it's so intense for no apparent reason other than it's a fight on a train with the appropriate BG music and a reference to Doctor Yellow (the Shinkansen's track maintenance vehicle) out of nowhere. What's funny to me is how they used the normal male voice that usually announces stations on the JR metro system as the announcer for this fight, with its nasal and monotone voice to boot. Anyways, the normal episode with the common Bobunemimi and B-Side segments aside from the 4-koma adaptations. I don't understand why the facial fight for the ED was necessary, but whatever, it's their nature of messing around anyways. Here's this week's seiyuus: Female VA's - Popuko - Megumi Han - Pipimi - Mariya Ise Male VA's Rebroadcast - Popuko - Hiroya Ishimaru - Pipimi - Yuu Mizushima |

| B-Side the best short!!! kekeke |
| I really didn't fit it funny at all this time |
 |
| The Train Battle part was the best parody of any series that is about fighting in general. |
 |
| Dragon Ball Z SNES games, Medabots, Mega Man 2. This one was full of classics Gon and Killua's actresses were priceless even in the closing statements |
| That train battle scene was just genuinely well done. |
| Which reference is the train battle coming from? That was epic XD |

| naahh! this ep...i wasn't able to figure-out any of the VAs... but the visuals for the train battle before it starts was a bit nice! 5/5. |
 |
| Great way to pay homage to HxH return. This episode also featured another GOAT of battle shounen. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Wasn't Train Battle just a parody of Shinkai movies in general? I wonder how well the discussion about HxH and Togashi being active on Twitter is going to age. |
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Train battle got SASORI level of trueness! |
 |
Ravarae said: Which reference is the train battle coming from? That was epic XD imo its a references to recently released hollywood movie called Bullet Train but i may be wrong |
| Like the VAs said, it was great timing to have the Gon and Killua voice actresses here on the same day that the manga restarted. The animation for the train battle was really good. |
| Loved the Portopia skit |
| Meh. Needed more Nanachi and more King Records trash-talk. |
| Anyone have an idea of who the studio for Train Battle was? It's listed as ????? |
 |
| I don't even know what to say! This show is fucking crazy! Hahaha :D |
| train battle was brilliant, ngl. comedy is often hit or miss and this one was a hit. like, for every 100 jokes you tell only a handful will be any good. people don't realize that, but a lot of work goes into good comedy. |
 |
| Train scene was amazing. Loved how they even talked about Togashi & HxH !! |
