I was not expecting Kyouichirou to take Taiyo fishing and build a friendship together. As awkward it sounds, it becomes a reality and even more awkward when divers climb aboard their boat to shoot them.

Taiyo is still on the receiving end of jokes but I admire his fighting spirit. Scaling the bulding for instance. Easily one of the most unluckiest characters in the show but hey, that's Taiyo in a nutshell. And ends up facing off against a freak of nature this episode damn.

The search for Tanpopo continues.

One morning, Taiyo wakes up on a boat off the Pacific coast, completely baffled by his situation. He is even more confused when he sees Kyoichiro fishing nearby. With an uncharacteristic smile, Kyoichiro says to him that they should deepen their friendship, which only heightens Taiyo's suspicion. As events unfold, Taiyo reels in a diver wielding a machine gun. It turns out they are spies drawn in by Kyoichiro's plan. Taiyo fends off attackers coming at him one after another. Suddenly, a torpedo is launched at their boat.

Yeah I don't blame Taiyo at all for being suspicion of Kyoichiro and thinking he'll feed him to the sharks any minute now lol. And I mean, he didn't feed him to any fish per se, but he did feed him to this level one goons that Taiyo easily pushes back. Slowly but surely though, we can see Kyoichiro opening up to Taiyo like helping him get stronger to take down Tanpopo and protect Mutsumi. All that goes down the drain though when he throws Taiyo into the middle of the ocean lol. Didn't expect for Taiyo to confront the Tanpopo boss this quickly though. Wasn't for long though.

Weird that they only used the 2nd Cour ED and not OP, but anyways, Asobi Doumei's new ED is OK. Not as good as CHiCO's.

Shinzou's here to save the day!

It was nice seeing Kyouichirou try to bond with Taiyo in his own unique way. Taiyo looked in real trouble in the battle at the end but Shinzou has arrived to save him. The new ED is nice but I still prefer the old one.

It's times like this where I think Kyoichiro actually likes Taiyo but then he quickly remembers he's married to Mutsumi and starts making his his life hell again.

Wasn't expecting that Noumen guy to be into cooking and yoga but alrighty. The Hazakura doping kind of made him look like Toguro. I like how the Hazakura just means the cherry blossom tree that has lost its blossoms. Really drives home that they are artificially gaining these powers that the Yozakura family have.

And thank goodness Shinzou arrived. I'm looking forward to what Shinzou will do with Yae. It needs an upgrade to withstand that grip strength. Then again that's not the only thing that needs to improve. Taiyo has come a long way but he's still has much to learn. At least his fan base is growing.

Things are about to heat up now that that guy has shown up.

Unexpected way coming from Kyoichirou wanting him to build a better friendship with Taiyo. Amazing!

Kawashita researched a way to copy Yozakura’s blood, but the new product Hazakura isn’t even approaching to the real power of Yozakura. Although, Nohmen and Kawashita are tough enemies, I hope Taiyo will manage to get a higher rank is his spy career. Great anime till now, the new ED is good as well.

Maybe Shinzou got there late, but he will surely save Taiyo from Nohmen.

Taiyo's search for Tanpopo continues with Makoto Kawashita at the helm, whereas said boy...is out in the Pacific with Kyoichiro for some man-to-man bonding, or rather, train him more by having criminals be sent his way, because being a bronze-rank is just not enough, especially for a Yozakura. And the waters that they're in, it's Tanpopo territory, and the threat of danger, like getting hit by underwater torpedoes, is VERY real, giving Taiyo a test of his lessons learnt as a professional spy. Even thwarting the submarine thereafter, Kyoichiro leads all of the answers for Taiyo towards Hotel Dande Lion, where he would find said perpetrator.

And the hotel suites that Kawashita resides in, Taiyo must find his way through by hook or by crook and get past the hotel's owner of Nohmen, only to reach rather late and get stopped by Nohmen instead, who utilizes Hazakura, the someinine inferior imitation that Tanpopo has created for their aides. Thankfully, there's Shinzo to help out.

Asobi Doumei's ED is just OK, CHiCO's 1st Cour ED is the better one.

Ofc there’s nothing that comes for free with Kyo lmao. What seems like it would be a nice brother outing turned into a combat training mission. But it came at the perfect time as he gave Taiyo the whereabouts of the Dandelion group.

The cheapskate sugar daddy fight causing Taiyo to fall was hilarious.

The Hazakura doping agent is no joke. Holy shit so it’s basically compound V? Definitely have to put a stop to the production of that. Basically turned dude into the hulk. Good thing Shinzo got there in time. Can’t wait to see him in action next week

I’m intrigued to see how they will manage to end everything. If they say that Tanpopo is as large and powerful as a government, I can’t imagine how they will defeat them. Additionally, if they’re experimenting with replicating that blood, I imagine they’ll have very strong spies as well. I wonder if Taiyou will be given some of the Yozakura blood. I liked this ending more than the previous one; I suppose they’ll introduce the new opening in the next episode.

Yeah I figured the trip out to the ocean with Kyoichiro would be more than just a guys' trip to fish as he essentially tested Taiyo out to see if he is capable of taking on the Tanpopo goons in the hotel. On that note Taiyo ended up getting in big trouble so it's a relief that Shinzo came out to help and I'm curious to see what he's capable of.

Things a still so batshit crazy.
Kyochiro tried to bond with Taiyo by baiting him for assassins and torpedo lmao. Taiyo took down a torpedo and Kyochiro slicing up a sub is par for the course. Nohmen guy is juiced up very bad Shizo arrived otherwise Taiyo would have been toast. Things are getting way more intresting now.

New ED was so wholesome as well.

So Hazakura dopping is basically turned you into Hulk.

The end was really bad there.
I mean there's like no reason Taiyo would start the infiltration while Shinzo is still on the way (why didn't they even go to the hotel together? It's probably a long trip anyway).
And then Shinzo arrives "just in time" to save Taiyo, but a little too late to also snatch up Kawashita.

I like this anime, but that part was really bad storywriting imho... just a load of "plot armor" for Kawashita

Hoooooo the anime has gotten to where the plot is gonna pick up that man standing in front of the hotel near the end of the episode IS TOOOOOO MUCH TO HANDLE I CANT WAIT FOR HIS REVEAL😭😭

Shinzo’s entrance was really cool bro came in clutch while Taiyo was having trouble with the dude who can for some reason handle Someinine

New ending but no new opening? That’s actually really weird and odd tbh bc I’ve never seen anything like this before haha but nonetheless the ending is SOOOO good I love ending one so im happy they still decided to use their chibi forms🔥🔥🤩

I shouldn't be surprised by the things Kyoichiro puts Taiyo through but you have to admit waking up to assassins in the middle of the ocean is hard to predict!

This battle with Noumen has kind of gotten me hyped for the Yozakura's full potential. I mean if an imitation version of their someinine turns the average person into Younger Toguro over here, they must be built different beyond my current expectations.

Who is this mysterious man? He caught Taiyo as he was falling, and then a few moments later, Taiyo is bleeding everywhere and almost died. Shinzo did his work on Nouman, and this battle is getting even more intense.

Taiyo is out cold for obvious reasons, and this old man with white hair knows the security codes for the mansion AND has the ring of the previous head of the Yozakura family which has allowed him to activate House Hibernation, allowing Yamachan, the captain of the Hazakura Batallion to be able to infiltrate and capture Mutsumi. We know that in order to mass produce Someinine, Tanpopo needs Mutsumi’s heart.

Is this old man the father of Mutsumi and her siblings? Otherwise how else does he have the ring, know the security codes, was able to injure Taiyo without anyone noticing, and activate House Hibernation? That and the fact the battalion knew the location of the Yozakura mansion is another issue (because I assume the Yozakura family intentionally keeps that secret).

Come on Taiyo, we need you back in action quick!
