It seems i felt some "nisekoi" vibes here, even it's not precisely same. as 5-toubun has their uniqueness itself. usually i didn't really into harem ( i really like romcom tho) but somehow i find this one attractive and interesting to me. i am really curious who the "girl" is and how this'll end.

Umm... using MAL episode 5/5s?


the way they did it i think in the series they will make her one of the quints and not some other girl, i feel that they go this route here

I don't think it will be the case. Because the anime follows the manga 95%. Also, that revelation in the second season will be important.

Well the mystery childhood friend isn't Nino. 1 down, 4 to go.


Cuz she would have remenbered of him right?
That is subtle but I do hope you are wrong, since right now either Miku or Nino for me.

It is nice to see that they growned up and changed so much cuz honestly feels a bit weird to see 5 girls looking copy of one another.

This episode alone got me super excited to watch more, I wish the second season was out already. I just want to see the day when they all know it is him, I have a feeling that the girl he was in the picture with is Itsuki, it's just a hunch., but man would I love it if it was Miku.

Ah, so that picture of an evil grin looking down was actually best girl Yotsuba. Didnt expect that. That was such a smug grin though XD. Love her.

Well we can safely take Nina off the list of potiential people who is part of that photo. How coincidental that they all looked like clones then evolved into their own units XD. Its like in Azur lane where you construct a ship and cant see what it is till you open it lol.

Yotsuba was really nice this episode. She's literally Cocoa from Is the Order a Rabbit but im fine with that since she's cute AF! Its obvious as hell Yotsuba wont win but I dont particularly care. I like them all to an extent so I dont care who ends up winning since I'll be fine with the result no matter what. Yotsuba is by far my favourite character though.

This basically feels exactly the same as Nisekoi with one of them being the childhood encounter that the main character has to figure out who is. I feel its gonna be the red haired one solely cause she was the first to get introduced and every harem always follow the same pattern. Even Nisekoi did it which seems like the best comparison for this series. I hope it surprises us though.

Holy fucking balls, Tezuka productions you absolute 1000IQ big brain studio i praise you while also hating you for being so sly and clever, equally as much as the other asian kid in 6th grade that was smarter then me in everything. That photo at the end has to be one of the most smartest ways to hide which girl it is (cus they all looked like carbon copies at the time) but also hinting it is most definitely one of them. Futarou actually looked like a proper alpha chad at the time lmao, wonder what made him change.
10:18. I felt that. I fucking felt all of that after the PTSD of something similar happening to me hit harder. Yotsuba why you gotta do my man like that D: eeeeh i felt like this was also suppose to be a Yotsuba semi focused episode but damn, felt like it really didn't do it justice.

Great episode, I liked Yotsuba's "confession" scene.

Well, I guess we can cross out Nino as being the one with Fuutarou in his cool kid days since she didn't recognize him. Not gonna lie though, Fuutarou looks sick as fuck when he was a kid.

Yotsuba's face looked hella evil "confessing"... Though I wonder if it was actually a real confession, she was too quick to retreat and act like it's just a joke. So they really played the childhood friend card huh... Guess it's just Nisekoi in new clothes after all. I was actually surprised Itsuki did not join the learning group after last episode.

And of course it's one of the quintuplets. Sorry I take back the thing about photo but I'm still sure they're going to fake out the bride thing or they're going to do a five to one wedding like they did in Infinite Stratos.

I thought good characters were all this show had going for it but this episode had great direction and writing, and I loved that little twist/cliffhanger haha “good thing she only saw half of it” . I love it and excited to see more, I’m curious if it’ll go the serious dramatic route that oregairu did

Uesugi is acting like a big baby in the apartment lmao, I bet Miku can cook better than me and I mean that

Yotsuba almost took that confession like a storm but not today I guess, What's with the test of courage get up, I can't take Yotsuba seriously like this

Ichika really is forcing Uesugi to confront all of the girls, Well I have good and bad news for you Nino the guy in the pic is Fuutarou himself, They looks so damn alike when they were kids and it changed when they have different tastes and personalities as they grew up.

I can barely differentiate them from each other but I'll go with respectively ( Ichika, Miku, Itsuki, Nino, Yotsuba )

Its all started with cheerful Yotsuba, finally she got a constant screen time. Never expect her to be lied like that. But Fuutarou also got the point, her strength lied on her cheerness and honesty. Too bad, she said 'its' a lied. The opening scene, its sad. But she could also even lied when facing that critical situations with the basketball club, she choice with the obvious reason. Frankly, that girl really hard to predict, just like the other sisters, ffs.

However, the story actually got some big revelations there. The photo that started it all. Then whats the meaning of Nino words there? Imagine if she just stay true to her words, and piercing her ear when become the bride. Alright.

Then, lemme do a little prediction, those photo was either Miku, Yotsuba, or Itsuki, big possibilities goes to Itsuki, idk why. But, that little flashback of Fuutarou looks really like Miku's figure. Then, since there's some plot twist like Nisekoi, idk if Mr ex delinquent to stay true, or just say, fuck it, they are all the same, why don't choose them all? That's must be some better choice....

This episode was one of the best without doubt.

Yotsuba i love you! <3 That was a nice confession ;) , for me She is the best girl for Futaro.

She was always protecting and supporting him. And her smile is MAGIC, i want a girl like Yotsuba.

Maybe the one from the polaroid is Nino as she liked him? But, if the girl changed him to be calm and nerdy as he's now, how could it be Nino? Maybe it's Miku, but she's too quiet to show her open smile. I have no idea, but if I was a Kakegurui character I'd guess the mademoiselle in the polaroid must be the actress Ichika. She has the vibes. Miku can't be as she only got interested in study the sengoku era later due to the videogame she got as a gift. Correct? I can't remember clearly well the scene that shows her playing, if she was younger or older than the girl from the polaroid. But as someone said, maybe it's all of them he met but only one he snapped a photo. However Nino appears to not know the kid. How could she forget him if she met him as a kid? It's complicated, but I bet it's Ichika, the actress.

Not gonna buy that Yotsuba's confession was entirely a lie. Kinda glad she got the spotlight for once, though.

That girl could be anyone except Nino (unless she has bad memory or something lol), but something tells me it's either Itsuki or Yotsuba. Maybe cause her pose suits their personalities best?

On Quintessential Quintuplets, S1E8 !!!!!!!SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!!
______________
Current Rankings:

1.Miku
Miku’s desire to cook her croquettes to perfection reflects both her relatable insecurity, as usual, but also a dedication to her crafts. She is willing to make voluntary sacrifices, her time and effort, to achieve her goals. As reinforced by her increased willingness to study in episode seven, she has become a more hardworking individual than her study resistant peers. This receptiveness to improvement, as initially spurred on by Uesugi in episode two, has been a one of the constant traits that has kept her character the most attractive out of the quintuplets. Her constant kindness to Uesugi is also highlighted in this episode in how she unhesitantly gives him her email, even smiling at the idea to emphasize how passive she is. Again, however, her character has lacked involvement over the past few episodes thus I find myself struggling to defend her number one position. The other characters intrigue me a lot more.

2.Nino
Ever since episode seven, Nino has been dropping her hostility toward Uesugi and becoming a lot more lighthearted in her approaches. As Yotsuba, so obviously, highlighted, she didn’t even try to kick him out of the apartment, against her initial wishes. Her speech is also a lot less insulting, carrying a softer tone and being more considerate, such as when she asked him if he was fine with eggs being in his porridge. She even gave him permission to close the proximity with her, asking him to give her an ear piercing. She’s no longer the same plotting and scheming Nino we were initially introduced to, indicating clear character and relationship growth that I’m intrigued to see continue. Apart from this, her character falls short of attraction, only noticeably being admirable in her ability to cook well as well as her fashion sense. I believe that we have yet to see more of Nino’s character, of which has untapped potential to be much greater than expected.

3.Itsuki
I’d like to think of Itsuki as similar to Nino in expression, also quite hostile at the beginning, yet carrying a sense of empathy and understanding that allowed her to develop a healthier relationship with Uesugi earlier. I suspect she also had more self-based reasons for her rejection, stemming from a desire to meet high expectations. However, once she realized how valuable his help was in her progress, she began opening up more since episode seven. She doesn’t do much in this episode, but she doesn’t put up a strong-front anymore as she used to, allowing for further character and relational development in future episodes.

4.Ichika
Ichika doesn’t do much in this episode other than egg Uesugi on to get the quintuplet’s emails to establish contact. She does leave for a shoot, but is considerate enough to notify him of the event. Her simple kindness and resourcefulness is shown again in this episode, but apart from that she neither lowers or increases her current appearance.

5.Yotsuba
This was definitely an episode to save her character, with her even acknowledging that she didn’t appear to change. Uesugi claims that she was actually the first to change, but from what I’ve seen, I beg to differ. Her character had kept the same childish optimism and she also kept annoyingly dumb as reinforced by this episode. She comes up with the worst lies, most notably, that Uesugi is deathly sick to keep Nino and Itsuki at home to study. However, she redeems herself slightly in expressing a level of awareness of the world around her, such as noticing the change in her sisters. Behind the scenes, I appreciate how we were able to see that Uesugi has also had a silent effect on Yotsuba, sacrificing her spot in the basketball team to attend her tutoring sessions. It reveals a hidden appreciation and receptiveness from her character, developing a sense of maturity that I had not initially seen. The playful lie that she was interested in him also further intrigued me to her character as it points toward some sort of intelligence, conflicting her dumb, outside appearance. Overall, I’m led to believe that Yotsuba is only putting on a facade of smiles and happiness, but is hiding a more adult and respectable character on the inside. I’m definitely looking forward to how she will progress in further episodes.

Extra Notes:
I knew from the start they would pull a Nisekoi, and today they did. The show isn’t anything special, but after this twist revelation, in addition to the lowered tension, I’m more hooked to finding out what happens next. I also kinda wish Uesugi cared more about the fact that Nino found him attractive, but nevertheless. I also theorize that the girl he met was less likely to be her since memories weren’t triggered surrounding his appearance in the photo. Overall, good episode though.

Love everything about the show, but the childhood friend thing seems a bit contrived. I was hopeful that he would just end up with the quint that is best for him, so now it's going to feel cheap UNLESS he ends up with a different quint than the one in the photo.

it didn't seem to start that strong (this episode), but damn, it improved fast. Miku apparently learned some cooking skills by Shinpachi's sister from Gintama, at least, some, considering Futaro did keep a straight face while eating and felt not totally sick. Yotsuba's evil laughters scenes were hilarious, but he was as well while wearing that mask with no concern in the world... and has improved in manipulating people, especially Nino and Itsuki. Also, the reveal result was unexpected, seriously... he looked like a Tokyo Manji Gang brand new member.

This is a great episode.

We start with Miku losing some points: bad cooking.

Yotsuba was first to confess. She denied it, but from her behaviour later, it seems she meant it. It's funny that she is out of sight, ought of mind like a toddler.

Fūtarō was a bad boy 5 years ago, and perhaps he met one of them, perhaps Nino, being his first love.

this was great, Miku making croquettes for Futaro and Yotsuba, where Futaro finds it good while Yotsuba says it isn't good. Miku is motivated to make more and won't stop until they are perfect. Unfortunately, Futaro is down with some stomach pain after eating too much of the croquettes while Yotsuba is stuffed and fine. Yotsuba lying and exaggerating to Itsuki and Nino about Futaro's grave illness to stop them from leaving was funny, along with Futaro sneakily using some ketchup to cough fake blood. Itsuki was SO CLOSE to holding his hand but she couldn't do it, man that would have been so great. Eventually Yotsuba becomes honest and pleads Itsuki to study together with Futaro while shining brightly, and Itsuki would think about it. Yotsuba isn't that great at lying and it shows. Nino brings some porridge but trips. spilling and burning Futaro's face, and is caught faking his illness when he panicked about the burn on his face. I loved that whole segment with the exaggerated illness, smart way of tricking Itsuki and Nino.

Yotsuba with that "confession" saying she likes him only to say she was joking was a little too far, especially when Futaro expressed his gratitude over how straightfoward and honest she was. Way to make his heart a bit colder.

Yotsuba freaking out over Futaro's creepy face costume was hilarious, she doesn't know its just Futaro under that mask and gets all scared when he puts it back on LOL. Futaro throwing in Raiha's number so Itsuki would give Futaro her email/phone was funny too, she ended up giving it to him. Futaro also getting back at Nino by saying she will be left out in text chat if she doesn't give him her address book, with Nino finally giving in and writing her contact info in his handbook, only for Futaro to forget his handbook as he followed Yotsuba.

Yotsuba declining on joining the basketball club but would still fill in if necessary, and wanted to prioritize her time with abeing around Futaro and making an effort to do very good in tutoring, which is nice of her. She isn't running away from studying as much and was the first one to be supportive of Futaro after all.

Futaro tries to get his handbook back but ends up down on the ground while Nino gives him a mean look and shames him for entering a girls room without permission. Miku trying to vouch for him saying she allowed it, W Miku as usual. Nino makes an odd request for Futaro to give her an ear piercing and would return the handbook if he does so. It really would have been the perfect chance for Futaro to get back at Nino for being a cold bitch, although he did intimidate Nino through his countdown while he tried to get his handbook out of the pocket. Nino kicks him down, Futaro drops the handbook, and she sees Futaro's image of his younger self from back then with an angry face, getting all excited since she is into bad boys. Futaro lies and says it is an image of his relative, and is relieved to have his handbook back, but did not pay attention to Nino wanting to look through old photos of her sisters. That would have been a good chance to form a bond with Nino. Turns out there is more to Futaro's old picture, he was with one of the other sisters back then, things are getting interesting.
