| Finally, instead of throwing anger and fists at each other, there's now hope of friendship. Characters in this show can change after all. Good to honestly see the cast in high spirits. That previous fight had a lot of emotions but now, there's celebration. Definitely very curious about what they have planned for Haruka. His reactions were priceless and he almost got into a fight, all in lighthearted style. Funny shit. |
 |
| It's time to party. Umemiya declared to Tomiyama, who was ready to concede defeat and hand over the Shishitoren, that from that day on, they were friends. While everyone, including Bofurin and Shishitoren, was taken aback, they proceeded with the conversation and started a "party" by bringing dishes to share. Despite having been fighting just moments ago, the atmosphere was one of camaraderie that Sakura couldn't believe. It was a great confusion for him, but he realized that Togame and Tomiyama were repenting sincerely, and they were able to communicate without resorting to violence. And through this series of events, Sakura's view of "the top" began to change little by little. Idk about y'all, but to me, this shounen is really pushing the shoujo tag. That conversation was seriously wholesome, ngl. A little too wholesome. Also, I find it ironic that these guys attend school but don't study, while Tachibana, who manages a shop and doesn't go to school, still finds time to study. This episode was slower and calmer compared to the last few, but it makes sense since it's the aftermath of the tournament arc. We do see some character development for Sakura near the end. It was about time he realized what "the top" really meant and whether it was worth it. I think they handled it pretty well tbh. Sakura has overcome his first challenge to becoming the leader... that is, if he continues to pursue that dream. |

| Yeah but wait, he was bitten on his neck right? Quite brutally too, so are we sure he doesn’t need medical attention and should keep acting like an anime-ish strong airheaded guy while throwing philosophies which should rather come out of the mouth of a sixty-year old man???? Also lol, all this talk about protecting this town and townsfolk while being a leader who ain’t alone, is hilariously stupid when we just look at the real picture and realize they’re still in school. Not sure how much of this sweet and reasonable talk could get through Sakura’s thick skull, and his one-tone backstory, but at least these people won’t stop in their attempts, not any time soon. |

I couldn't put my finger on why I didn't dislike this "let's shake hands and have a meal together" ending that much. The conversations have been been repetitive and not too original or deep, but they felt really sincere and positive, between likable characters to boot. I'm kind of impressed that the show wasn't afraid to slow down this much and actually have a talk. A lot of people will probably call this episode "filler", but I think it was a decent use of the runtime and made the show more endearing to me. |
| Even though I really want to see more of Bofurin's characters, especially Sakura's classmates, I would hate to miss Umehara's voice... I'll be praying Togame and Sakura become besties in the near future |

Filler ahh episode + I’m getting more and more disappointed each episode.
They forgave shishitoren scums like they didn’t try to kill furin students for the past 7 episodes.
Also do y’all remember when Tokyo Revengers was releasing weekly, there were a loud community complaining about the lack of police and parents? Even though that show actually SHOWED police several times. Meanwhile this show doesn’t have a single adult in it let alone a police or teacher yet no one complains about it or is allowed to criticize it because according to redditors/twitter nerds this is the best delinquent(lol) anime created in the last decade.
Humans are gullible creatures they easily get deceived by flashy colors.
Therefore I take the “carried by animation” crown from demon slayer and give it to fart breaker.
Congratulations *insert evangelion gif*

I gave up on the idea that this show is a delinquent anime pretty quickly, and I could enjoy this more because of that. I'm treating this as a post-apocalyptic action drama, something like Mad Max or Heavenly Delusion. Or even a Western, like The Magnificent Seven. I'm imagining the government and the rule of law have completely collapsed, and everyone's left to fend for themselves. Honest, hard-working folk are at the mercy of roving bandits, kids are either orphans or abandoned, schools are just big buildings that anyone can use as their base. Mysterious outlaws with a heart of gold happen to pass by and decide to help out the powerless. I don't understand why the show itself didn't take this route, but it makes a lot of sense in my head. |

| Great to see Kotoha chan, was missing her. Sakura still acting like a tsundere is funny. Umemiya's a great guy. Like Gojou he's at the top but unlike Gojou who's all alone there Umemiya's there with everyone. |
 |
| Togame went from son of a bitch face to good boy in a bad moment face in 3 episodes. |
 |
| it was a good episode Sakura is or should i say was a lonely wolf... |

@perseii "This town is poor and used to have a high crime rate so the police just look the other way" is a less complicated explanation than post apocalypse
I'm not really sure what we want the police to do here. They had a five person fight tournament in an abandoned movie theater.

OrielBel said: "This town is poor and used to have a high crime rate so the police just look the other way" Is that a less complicated explanation, though? Setting the story in the post-apocalypse frees up the story from a lot of expectations and "rules." And it keeps the story focused on what it cares about, i.e. the action and the characters. As one example, I would expect actual criminals to run this town if this is a "normal" town without police presence. Like the yakuza. Grown-ups, not some kids. The story just raises too many questions like this one, as long as the writers frame this as modern-day Japan. I think it would be easier if the writers just came out and said, "most of the adults are either dead or gone; it's just us kids now who can protect the town." But that's just what works for me. If the "police looking the other way" plot point helps you get on-board with the story, that's great. |

| @perseii Yeah, I totally agree. No way the government does NOTHING at all. Anyways Sakuya is really bone headed; I get that he's a kid and didn't have the best past but there is no reason to flip out all the time at even the most marginal of kindness. |
 |
| - Umemiya is all about friends and food - Choji is still the least interesting chara along with Sugishita - Kotoha and Suo are underutilized - I wanted more moments between Hiiragi and Sako - TogaSaku is already a thing 😏 The shoujo/slice of life vibes are strong in WB since the beginning and blatant in this ep (not a filler, fyi) which is basically cute boys doing cute things. This can be refreshing to some viewers bored with other shounen and frustrating for those who want manly action and a fast pace. Bottom line: pick one side, act accordingly and stop bitching. |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| Nice wrap up to the battle. Now if this is like old delinquent anime we're gonna meet some new classmates and senpai next, followed by a new rivaling school/gang. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Ume would be such an amazing manager. He really does look out for others and wants to help mentor people, recognizing that others helped him when he wanted to rise up too. :) "Let's have an after-party!" *proceeds to exclude almost all of Shishitoren after getting take-out recs from them* *makes that middle-schooler wait even longer* oof The *real* top of Bofurin XD |
| underwhelming but not at least it wasn't as trash as the last few episodes. we'll see if the remaining episodes have anything to say about that. |
 |
| Ugh, this crap is too sappy and cheesy for me lol, had to lower my score after these two previous episodes. |
| This episode was a bit slower than the previous ones but it was still decent. Sakura realizing that he'll need others to reach the top was an eye opener for him. |
| It was a very relaxing episode after these cool fights, Sakura is on his way to change and become the best version of himself and this whole team is helping him achieve that. Love these types of episodes where you can feel these good vibes and the MC is growing. |
Undefeated  Bahamut |
| Your move Sakura, your move. |
 |
| Umemiya is such a good leader, no wonder why everyone loves and admires him even Sakura is starting to. It must have been hard for Sakura being all alone this whole time :( but I'm glad he's finally surrounded by people who care about him and hopefully he will open up to them little by little. I'm excited to see his development |
 |
communicating with the fight, not just physically but also mentally. Knowing the opponent, seeing how he struggles and being able to understand how valuable or not his fists are. |
| Umemiya is very weird, but wise to teach Sakura a lesson in teamwork. |

| @Softhenic03 He shiould absolutely be going to the hospital after being bitten on the neck by another human. |
| Lol, the post credit scene. The real Bofurin's Leader is Kotoha indeed xD |
 |
| Shivering end especially since the talk about conversing with fist kinda goes to ... well .... But at least those post credit part open my eyes. Damn no fucking way. Wish to know how and by who they've got patched up, post credit part might reveal those behind-the-scene a bit. Tho its all fine by how things end up. Idk how they wrap up the rest. Since this can be act as the final concluded episode of the season. Cloverwork, can they not messing up? |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| I guess they're all friends now which is good. Kotoha is back as well and she is cute as always. Like the title suggested, this whole episode was 'DIALOGUE'. |
 |
| Umemiya 🖤🖤🖤 |
| Sakura is so cute when he talks with Ume-chan~ |
