| For those hoping for my comeback, here I am finally, back on from IRL issues. A thousand apologies for not being the episode thread starter :( Saeki comes back to Aono's house with an important message, though it took the former courage just to drag the circumstance out. Apart from drinking too much barley tea and getting anxious to go to the toilet, Saeki peers at Aono's father's soundproof piano room, though the last competition he was at, Aono had an inkling about Saeki's knowhow of his origins. But Saeki coming back to Japan to find him after seeing him in his last competition, it's a complicated mess of familial relations. Saeki, being born in rural Germany and only with his mother, the violin was all he had to keep him occupied. In the small town he lived in, Saeki entered a chamber orchestra at a young age, after his grandfather taught him at a tender age of 4. Though the breaking point is when he's introduced to Ryuji Aono, the perfectionist of an Asian, Japanese violinist, which happened to be Aono's father. Aono, thinking that Saeki is getting back at him for the sake of getting close to his father, he scoffs in disdain. But Saeki's story isn't over, as he listens to Ryuji's playing over and over, his grandfather forbids him from listening further, though they would not tell him the reason why, and his mother, being a vocalist, they were bound to be naturally paired together, and that's when the scandal happened, dropping the bombshell that Ryuji is also his father. But why it took Saeki so long to get this story out, it would affect their relationship from the get-go, which Aono definitely wavered in shock. Aono and Saeki, half-siblings, one from a marriage and another from an affair, this could not have come at a worse time than now. This is probably the most intense of the series so far, before the 3-week hiatus this show will get until it comes back on August 27th. |

| The episode i appreciated the most: an interesting character’s backstory which we discover why the passion of the music is burst and a big revelation. So far a tiring experience not liking many of the “school” episodes but the next promises to be more interesting why the rivalry is intensified and probably will be the national music contest competition (if they made only one season). Let’s see in August when the show will restart |

| i won't lie i was not totally surprised by this news... i told you, i don't like eveything but last episodes were really good when they don't focus on music... |

How I felt watching this episode with that reveal: Anyway the reveal finally was there and kinda saw it coming. Must say that while I understand that Aono doesn't want any mention of his father still think he was harsh on Saeki, it's not like he did anything wrong, his mother must have suffered too because of that scumbag of a father. |
| Wow. This episode was dramatic to say the least. Definitely wasn't a twist I was expecting. I can see why Aono is mad at Saeki...however he should channel his anger toward his POS dad. Saeki didn't ask to be an affair child. |
 |
| Didn't see that coming at all. Didn't expect this level of drama from this show !! ........................ |
StarZone1 said: For me, it's the opposite. These two relationship is the most interesting aspect of this show for me.I get that it's important and all but I just do not care about these twos relationship, it bores me. |
| at the beginning I thought that indeed saeki was ryuuji's son. But then I was hoping that the relationship was only mentor/student since ryuuji travels a lot. in the end it was the most obvious but my suprise was that the affair was him going back with her previous partner, saeki's mother. I just wish that sakei and aono can patch things quickly. |
Joseph_r78 said: I have a several question. Why aono and saiki both are same age? Did Their father phantom or something than can teleport from japan to germany and sleep with other woman? This is joke Considering that the father is a famous violinist it is normal that he probably performs internationally. Even if that would mean he was basically cheating on Aono's mother from the very beginning. |
 |
| That wasn't unexpected imo, from the start of the episode, it was pretty clear what Saeki was going to say. That was quite dragged out if I do say so myself, and the minimal production values don't help its case. It was pretty intense, I'll give it that though. They really dropped that bombshell before the 3-week break though, that's just kind of funny to me. |
| So just like we all thought from last week, they are brothers 😭 😭 I know we all thought it but damn I was kinda hoping it wasn’t that predictable Just makes Aono dad look like even more of a scumbag. I totally understand why he’d want to kick nao out the house in that moment. He was finally starting to get over his dad and move forward living his life the way he wants to, now he’s got a permanent reminder of his dad’s behaviour and actions right next to him. And considering how much they like each other that probably makes it hurt even more |

Way2Gay4Me said: All this drama about them having the same daddy was boring, forced and unnecessary. I couldn't finish it easily because they stretched it beyond belief wth.Cringed. Had to pause it multiple times, took me like 1 hour to finish the episode. worst ep so far |

| lots of intense emotions this season. i originally thought what saeki had to say was that he knew aono's dad, like maybe he met him on tour or taught him or something, so i thought him putting off telling aono was funny. but now i understand why it was so nerve-wracking and hard for him to say it. saeki is aono's half brother, and he came about due to an affair his dad had. i will say, i assumed the affair was a more recent occurrence, but i guess it just got leaked to tabloids or something. as much as im upset aono yelled at saeki and kicked him out, i also understand its a lot of information that was dumped onto him all at once. he needs time to process and think it over alone. obviously there were better ways he could have gone about saying it, but he just needed to let out all the emotions erupting inside of him. i do hope they'll be able to make up soon though, as saeki and aono's friendship is one of my favorite relationships in the show. i think if they're able to process it on their own and talk about it together, the newfound knowledge that they're actually half brothers could possibly even bring them closer. really sad the show is going on hiatus for a few weeks though. i really don't want to wait that long to see what happens. perhaps ill pick up the manga from where this episode leaves off. would anyone happen to know where that is? |

As I thought it's was indeed cheating and swinging that led to trauma for these two..  |

The moment he turned back from the station with a concerned look on his face in the last episode, it was obvious.. I've seen way too many anime to know that from experience |

| totally the cringe one !! so basically the father both of them is bastard and jerk !! saeki and aono same age , how the fuck that bastard can married with their mother ?? |

| dude the MC is so fucking dumb for that at the end, not his fault bro like chill with ur angsty teen shit bro |
| Wow. Didn't need that sudden twist lol. Always wondered how he got a Japanese family name when it is most common for the children to take the name of the father + he had German grandfather. I first thought they had daughter that went to Japan and then married a Japanese guy. Or that the the grandparents had a son taking the name of the grandmother - marrying a female German or goign to Japan. But that thing ... pretty sudden now. I guess the family name is from the grandmother then though. No other option. I wonder if he did somehow manage to take the family name of the grandmother to conceal that he is Ryuuji's son. Or of the grandparents already agreed to use the grandmothers family name + their daughter than having had that name. (Which then got passed to Saeki as well - mother not married to Ryuuji.) This now might lead to too much unnecessary Drama and taking away the fokus from the school/club and the other chars. Hopefully they can solve this soon. The father returning and getting some dialogue qith them would be the best I guess. (Maybe visiting the mother in hospital.) |
| There better be a damn good reason for this. |
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| NAH WTF, LOL. THAT'S SO RANDOM N OUT OF POCKET MATE. DEADASS. They be pullin' these plot lines out their ass, fr |
 |
| Had a feeling this was the case. Can't blame Hajime for reacting the way he did, it's normal to react like that in the given situation. Lets see how things will go between them from here on. |
 |
| Even though i've somehow knew that this is where the plot will go, it's still giving me a bit shock to know the truth. |
