| It suck they can't have a fireworks festival normally. Not that I doubted him but Kirishima continues to prove himself as a capable fighter. Yoshino is again caught in the middle of this drama as usual. Kirishima also had to face off against a powerful opponent this episode so they're definitely not letting him get a walk in the park in all these fights. |
 |
| Very action-packed, fun-filled episode. Kirishima makes good on his word to Yoshino by kicking ass left and right. The emo guy gets a name and some lines, and immediately establishes himself as a threat by being the one enemy Kirishima can't one-shot. Dare I say it, Yoshino just might have finally grown on me with that amazing performance she put up against the dude. She backs up her talk! This arc is delivering. |

| So Yoshino thought he was too far away for the stun gun, but then choose to confront him with a stick behind her back? Ok. I guess she just wanted to jump him with a bicycle first before stunning him, lmao. Finally someone putting up a fight against Kirishima. Seeing him and Shouma fight an equal was cool. "You okay, Ozu-kun?" The look in Yoshino's eyes was crazy. Aura couple. |

| Kirishima with motivation from Yoshino>>>>Goku. Bro going full assassins creed and taking out all the yakuza dudes in the crowd was so dope. So much action in this episode, I love how gritty and brutal the show can be at times. Really sells the whole yakuza thing well Mad af my baby Yoshino lost a tooth, but so much respect to her for standing up of the Yakuza member and keeping her cool/baiting him with the Kirishima feint to run away just to finish him off with the bike and taser combo lmao. She’s not just a maiden in distress who needs saving and I love that Azami v Kirishima was dope. Easily the best fight in the series so far. Now I’m wondering what Azami and Miyama’s backstory is. Seems like they go way back and Miyama seemed genuinely concerned about Azami’s current life path Based on the shouma v curly fight there at the end I’m guessing my theory about Yoshino’s granddad getting betrayed is true so we’re gonna get a full blown yakuza turf war. Count me tf in. Best ep so far imo |

| First a hair dryer, now a bike. That Yoshino is one mean bitch. She's the scariest one out of the bunch. I hope they can fix her tooth though. |
| I love how tough Yoshino is. She takes a punch and manages to take out a guy using her resourcefulness. That said, what in the name of Hiroshi Kamiya is going on? Who is this Suou Azami guy and what's happening in the big picture? |

| Best episode so far, it's only going to get better. The action was great this episode. @Marinate1016 You have a very keen eye, yes a lot of it has to do with Yoshino's grandpa and the yakuza turf war. Most people these past weeks thought Kirishima brought the street thug problem to Yoshino but actually it was Suo Azami who brought the street thugs to distract Kirishima so Suo can go after Yoshino. |
| Great episode! Yoshino and Kirishima shined in their respective fights against the Yakuza. It was hilarious how Yoshino ran away after beating and tricking the Yakuza. Kirishima was a beast in combat, really the best episode so far in terms of action and intensity. I was hoping to see more of Shouma's fight against the curly-haired boy, but it turns out he was just a mercenary, not a real enemy. The real threat seems to be Azami. Who is he and what connection does he have with Yoshino? Still, there's no need to worry: Yoshino is a goddess and she'll take care of it. The one who should be worried is Ozu Kento - waking up to see Yoshino and Kirishima with those evil looks on his face is a nightmare! |

| Can we talk how Yoshino served this episode? Like, yes, go on Queen, do your thing! For real, what I'm loving the most about this anime is the fact that they don't let Yoshino fade in the background in these action scenes, and they actually make her participate in them and beeing a total queen. Like, when she picked up the fight with the guy from episode 2 was so cool. And not only that, when things went wrong, and she was renting the bike, I thought she would just run away, but no, she actually used it to attack the guy and then tased him. For real, it was so cool. We all know which clip Crunchyroll is putting on their YouTube channel xD But the 1st fight with Kirishima and those 2 guys was actually really smooth, these 2 last episodes have been getting a better animation budget it seems! Overall, the fight scenes this episode were really good. And we finally got to learn a bit more about Azami (and how dangerous he seems to be), and hear is voice! I wasn't expecting is voice to be like that, it doesn't even seem he has the same voice actor as AoT's Levi or Noragami's Yato, Hiroshi Kamiya is a box full of surprises. He seems to be really interested in Yoshino, and obviously Kirishima was ready to kill him, because he won't let Azami even see Yoshino. But it seems the business he has with her is related to her Yakuza clan. We then get to the conclusion of the fight between Shouma and the red haired perm guy, and the fight didn't really come with any conclusion, like Kirishima vs Azami, but we got the confirmation of what he suspected a few episodes back, in the fact that Yoshino's grandfather is planing some revolution inside the clan, and that Kirishima is involved in that. This also explains why did Yoshino's grandfather send her to Tokyo to marry Kirishima, she either is a trade off coin used by her grandfather to please Kirishima, or he sent her there to protect her from the chaos that is about to ensure inside her clan in Osaka, and put her in danger. I like to believe it's the latter explanation. Anyways, this anime is only getting better and better, and I'm surprised to see that the score of the anime has yet to start to raise again, but at least it has maintained the same score for a week! Also, the opening by The Oral Cigarettes has been on replay for these past 9 episodes! Can't believe we only have 3 more episodes of this anime! It's kinda sad, and this season is the only anime I'm watching that is only of 1 cour, so this sadness is all condensed for these 3 episodes ;-; The ending scene with Yoshino and Kirishima talking to the crybaby Ozu was really cool |

| i dropped it but i'm still here i change my mind. this was a great ep kirishima is really crazy |
| otakuweek (100k Followers) on insta for News /best recom etc just have a look, you won't regret it... Link below: https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh |
| siiiiiigh Only 3 episodes to go, I can't believe it's ending just when the plot thickens and our mentally unstable protagonists get unleashed. Just when Shouma gets a pair of eyes that don't resemble my dentist' rectangular led lamps. How cruel. |
| I am on my knees BEGGING for more female leads to be written like Yoshino. Absolute Queen. I have been waiting so long to see her fight and the aftermath with Ozu animated- it didn’t disappoint! Also wish more people could love these characters as much as I do, but I understand it’s not a series for everyone |

| Man the way Yoshino took that punch and still booking it out of there. Thought she'd taze him there when he was distracted but the bike crash was a good idea. Kirishima's Operation Lights Out was great, too. Seems like Kirishima is in deep crap again. Really looking forward to what's going to happen next. |
| Is it just me or are they making Yoshino prettier, and a little more badass every episode. There's no sign of that awkward bumpkin, and I love that for her |
| All of the fight scenes were bomb in this episode, but particularly the Kirishima vs this Azami guy (love the music that plays when he's on-screen, you can tell this guy is serious business). I love seeing Yoshino fight dirty and beat the shit out of that bastard again. Also, both of these crazies standing over him with their eyes glowing was so badass. |

AakBan_Pochi29 said: the mask guy and soma look alike I'm glad I'm not the only one confused by who that guy was. |
| seeing Yoshino just put her tooth back in!!!! BADDIE QUEEN FRFR 👸✨️ 💖 |
| This show is so much fun, both he MCs are entertaining characters and the fights are pretty good as well. To think, I wasn't going to watch this show at first, glad I changed my mind. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| I can see they saved most of their budget for the trailer and these last two eps lol Interesting to see another yakuza guy coming in on this Yoshino thing.. wonder what's gonna happen |
 |
| Ozu....you're a dead man. |
 |
| The romance be peaking this episode. |

| Goddamn, this anime does NOT disappoint one bit. Its most definitely the most exciting show for me as well. This is peak. Why did that guy want Yoshino? What is going on with her grandfather and Kirishima? I like curly. His request for a timeout made me lol |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| So 3rd guy also wants her? The fight part was just pawns grudge? Zero surprise Curly just backed off, he didn't seem invested. Those golden eyes from hell Q_Q |
  |
| Let's gooooo Yoshino! Love my tough MCs <3 |
| Yoshino used Joestar secret technique, running away. Author tried to make Yoshino look cool I guess but the whole thing felt very forced and somewhat childish. Shoma action got shafted and we only got to see a bit of it. Interesting that Kirishima knows Azuma. Wonder whats the beef between them. Also more teasing on the grand scale yakuza war. |
