<br /><br />Wow awesome episode, I couldn't believe that little 6 year old Mui could already beat up grown men, I can't wait until the next episode it looks like a fight is going to be taking place

Nah, I doubt there will be a fight between them next episode. I'm curious as to the promise between them though. Kenichi and Odin's fight will likely take place much later, since he's the first Fist after all.

We get to see little loli Mui this episode, so it was alright lolz.

It is possible that they would fight, but it's obvious Odin would practically destroy Kenichi, and leave him defeated, that is, if they fought. Which considering the way the story is going, is highly unlikely. He will probably fight Freya first, after that Berserker, and probably Loki after those two. Aside from the immediate "true promise", I'm more curious about Loki's true plan. :D

If you meant Kenichi, i wouldn't think so, remember he doesn't fight women, I think she may be left to Miu (or the ex-8th First Valkyrie one). Also maybe Tanimoto vs Loki, and Berserker vs Shinpaku Member/ex-Ragnarök, but obvious Kenichi vs Odin (and possibly Kensei after that). This should all happen in a FINAL SHOWDOWN (the anime dones seem a bit predictable...not that I'm not enjoying)

Chances are it would be against that Valkyrie rather than Miu, you also have to take into account Freya's attitude against men, and maybe a fight with Kenichi would open her eyes to the fact that you can only really judge people based on their own merits, not the sexist view Freya seems to represent, which is really what this anime seems to be doing, trying to force all these evil-doers to recognize the error of their ways (sounds cliche yeah....but that is pretty much what is happening with the 8 Fists)

Great episode. Miu's reactions were priceless throughout the whole thing. Can't get enough of her. :)

Interesting ideas everyone is throwing out. I was thinking that maybe Kenichi would get his butt kicked next ep (and then train his ass off). But, that may not be the case after reading what has been said.

I agree with both of you, we've also seen this many places before (Digmon pops to mind first), but never grows old does it :D Wonder why Kenichi remains popular...

40 was great. I really liked chibi Miu. I felt like Kenichi was a little too forward with Odin though.

Also, Odin seemed to be acting weird after Kenichi introduced Miu. I'm probably wrong but I feel like the promise involves Miu in some manner...

I'm betting there will be a battle and Kenichi will get owned. From the preview it looks like he smashes something important too. Wonder what Miu will say.

The thing that annoys me is the way Kenichi was explaining the whole badge trading thing. He kinda blew it off after he remembered the whole story. I wonder how that makes Miu feel, she seemed so happy when he remembered she was the one who traded with him.

so kenichi knew the first fist and miu when they were kids, amazing how it all comes together like that
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

Well, we have seen those 3 playing together as kids in the OP for 15 episodes now, so it shouldn't really come as a surprise IMO. But that Miu knew about it the whole time still feels like a You Didn't Ask Ret Con.

This feels like someone wanted to make Miu more moe and thus changed her to also be an osananajimi.

Also, about the Saint on Fists (Kensei in Japanese), they know someone who is named Ma Kensei, and have never seen that Saint-guy. Why doesn't any main character misunderstand when their opponents suddenly start talking about their boss being Kensei? It's not like they would know that the kanji are totally different just by hearing it.

Now all the pieces are coming together. Oden seems to have made a strong promise with Kenichi which he can't remember but it must involve all three when they were little.

So they knew each other as kids, what a coincidence. Well it's already in the OP so...

At least only Kenichi was the one who simply didn't recognize them, I'm glad they did not go with the "protagonist lost all of his memories" trope which is way too common. Chibi Miu was hella cute though.

I didn't think Miu would be apart of the connecting flashback of kenichi and the first fist.
