What an odd episode but still, this one felt kinda surreal in the sense of what John has experienced. Still, a slightly interesting episode with how John and Draluc came to know each other.

All those boob jokes though...

That's how perverted they can be, even crying for boobs... impressive.
Though it was nice to see how it started between John and Draluc, that big travel, wow

I'm not mentally prepare for John story that playing it straight with no pervert twist. Just in case you miss it, it's also what ending song sequence is about.

The power of lewd talk was very interesting. lmao
John's backstory was very impressive, tbh. No wonder why Ronaldo was crying when he heard the story.

Oh welp, turning the entire city into lewd talk...Ronaldo and Draluc will have an even bad time this episode.

Using lewd talk as a power-up sounds weird, even more so for a city encased in the barrier. Draluc's dad and Ronaldo making each other stronger through lewd talk sure does the trick.

Ooh, John's backstory meeting Draluc, and it all starts from the family going on vacation into South America to find cryptid animals. John is such a cute animal being a small South American armadillo, and meeting other armadillos in danger from an inferior vampire. NGL, armadillos are cute animals given their small ball size, and John couldn't take it lying down that Draluc's family has left the villa.

John is just waiting for love to come to him, and decides to venture out to find Draluc. And this is in clear reference to the ED visuals of John going on his own adventures, going through far lands and sea to find Draluc and be reunited with him, it was emotional.

Just let John the Armadillo take over as the MC of the show already.

The lewd talk battle has to be the weirdest thing this show has done which is saying a lot. It got played super serious making it even weirder. Some of the lines that Shot and Draluc dad were throwing out there I was taken aback. Shit got odd at some points. I had to rewind and make sure they said what I thought they said a few times. Nevertheless it was funny in its own weird way with Draluc dad and Ronaldo teaming up. The john segment reaffirmed for me that I would watch a whole show with John as the protagonist. I would a hundred percent watch that show. Seeing him be left behind since Draluc thought John would be better with his own kind broke my heart. I bawled like a child as John tried to find his way to that castle with only a picture. My new favorite segment of the entire show. Anytime they put John front and center everything is better.

Great episode! Some vampires have put up a lewd talk barrier which increases their strength depending on the amount of lewd stuff they say! Ronaldo can only say oppai until Draus talks to him and he gains a lot of strength! We also got to see how Draluc and John met! John is South American xD. Ronaldo was very sad hearing that story lol.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Every time I hear "Joker" with Jun Fukuyama in another show, I can't help but smile.

JOker Ball Tamao Marusuke Orihalcon Z GuardiaN (temp)

A legendary name for a legendary 'madillo!
Right up there with "Jugem Jugem Poop-Tossing of Shin-chan’s Two-Day-Old Underwear of Shinpachi’s Life Balmung Fezalion Issac Schneider 1/3 Pure Love 2/3 Hangnail Anxiety Betrayal Knows My Name Or Does It Really Ignore Calls Squid Dogfish Halibut Trout-Cod Dogfish... This Is A Different Dogfish, I’m Talking About The Dogfish Shark Kaluga Angler Ray Yuuteimiyaoukimukou Pepepepepepepepepepepepe Runny Diarrhea"!

So technically John should be spelled "Jon". haha

We've only one episode to go but I will say the best segments feature Draluc and his family.
Especially his grandfather.
Only he would gift his son a Chupacabra (if that's what that green creature was) XD
A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more.

The craziest part is that the vampires in this show have actually stupidly strong powers via hypnosis or things like that, they're just too stupid to do something with them.

Also John is best boi (or armadiboi...), didn't expect this to get emotional, but I liked it, specially now that season 1 is coming to an end and I think that this is going to make me miss these three for a while...

This episode was in fact a rollercoaster, the first half about the lewd talk barrier was hilarious, so many fetishes shouted with the intention of causing a DBZ style energy blast sent me. Finally Shot can use his true power lmao. I think my favorite line was “roleplay where I’m a chair and a widow in her mid 30s with a big butt sits on me” (maybe because I can relate lol) but it was very funny. The 2nd half being about John’s backstory was really good, I’ve been waiting to see what the ED was about and we finally got to see it scene by scene with the ED’s visuals, baby John was very cute too.

This hilarious show ends next week, I’m sad to say that but it’s been such a good ride, it’s a shame it’s so underrated but that’s just how it is with comedy sometimes, worked very well for some, not so much for others. I can say I’ve loved this one tho, definitely one of my favorite comedy anime.

Like many, when the second segment came in, I kind forgot the lewd talk but, overall, was quite interesting (I was already expecting someone went full scat or trap jokes but they stayed in the border... since is for Tv I guess they did their best LMAO). Anyway, the thing that we all want to talk about is John and, I'm also included. It was a welcome surprise to know that John is South American... even if they didn't confirm his nationality, I'd guess his from Argentina or Brazil, since John went full soccer and both countries are known for their expertise in this sport. As a Brazilian, I'd say that it would be rly cool for him being Brazilian, cuz here comes a interesting fact: back in 2010, Brazil use to have a armadillo as it's mascot for it's national football league so, even if it's just a coincidence, it stills awesome. Btw, the armadillo mascot name was "Fuleco" which,as seemed, the name doesn't resembles nothing and it's appearance is different too (yes, John still away cute too as expected). But enough of this. Loved that they dedicated one episode to connect with the ending, after all, for me, thesedays, is rare an anime do this and it's kind dope. The ending became even more meaningful, personally speaking (probably the community second this LOL).

The first part was really funny haha. All about lewd talks. Man Ronaldo-kun is just a normal guy who loves Oppai. Others really have extreme fetishes.

I love the second part. They had a great past and bond. I cried when John reunited with Draluc-kun
It seems Ronaldo-kun is jealous because he's bond with John was just buying donuts together. Hahahaha it's cute

Just like with episode 8 it's proven that John stomps every sexual joke the series comes up with.

So he's from South America, no wonder he steals the show, though the animals they encountered felt more like something you would see on Australia.

But there's one very believable thing about John being from South America and it was how he desperately wanted to move from there and go to Europe.

A battle of lewdness. Shot was the perfect hunter for this. Or maybe the BDSM one. Would've been interesting if they Ronald ended up doing some kind of Ero(Spirit) Bomb, but teaming up with Dralc's dad isn't too bad.

Ah, the ED makes more since now. John used Rollout. It was super effective. The Pokemon reference goes even deeper since Dralc protected John and then made him his familiar.

I feel like they are just stupid cause everyone in this universe is some degree of dumb and the sole vampire that was actually a threat of some kind got wrapped up in everyone elses shennanigan so now hes only seen as that guy who keeps flashing Hinaichi

Oh man, my feels for that John backstory. Based on the ED sequence I figured it was something 'touching' but now the context is finally filled in it's like "d'awwww"

Also interesting to know that John & Draluc -officially- did the whole "familiar ritual"....in the back of my mind I always sort of wondered if John could essentially "walk out" on Draluc and if he was just calling him his familiar for totally random lolz.

First segment: one of the weakest of the entire show, didn't laugh once.

Second and third segments: Amazing, cute, and heartwarming!

Actually, I find it interesting that both this episode and episode 6 had two-parters and I consider those segments to be some of the strongest of the series thus far.

I'm not even gonna say anything about the lewd segment. Shout out to Shot, the hairy-ladies lover.

Man, this caught me off-guard. I did figure out the outro was about how John arrived to the castle, but the fact he made it to be with Draluc is just so much wholesomeness to take in. They improved it halfway through, that's impressive.

Just how many ways of making John even cuter do they have? And yes, I stole the image from the guy way above:

The Chupacabra from South America was a plus, I laughed at that.

And Ronaldo looks fatter with that T-shirt. I don't know where I heard it, but horizontal stripes seem to do that.

I loved this episode so much I'm not even gonna be down if the last one isn't as good. We needed this.

The first part of the episode was pretty funny where the power of Lewdness is the only source. How lewder, how stronger. That's pretty fun when you're Odd, who's extremely horny. He got a lot of lewd jokes stacked and could say the same about Shot. Although, his fetish for hairs are pretty weird. Ronaldo tried his best to be lewd as possible but he only dragged Shot down with his weak vocabulary. ''BOOBS!'' - Ronaldo. Until, the great vampire arrived. Draluc's father, Draus, who's probably an expert, managed to fire an ultimate attack from the sky. He even brought Ronaldo back on his toe and defeated the two masterminds behind all of this. Sadly, Draluc heard everything and that made Draus beat the hell out of the other guy.

The second part (+ third), John's backstory.
It suprised me, it made me kinda emotional and happy at the same time. Hilarious how John tried to flashback but Draluc sadly stopped him and spoke in his place. We wouldn't have understood a single thing if he started talking about his past. It started with a weird introduction from Draluc's grandfather, who's a mess for sure. You never know what is going on in his mind and whenever he things of something, he just does it. A trip to South America to catch some weird animals? Sure, why not. Well, that led to Draluc meeting and taking care of John. Smoll John was adorable as hell and his long name is hilarious. We got to know that John had no parents since his birth because he got seperated from them. Anyway, Ronaldo using him as a ball to get some apples got me laughing. Of course, he wanted to make apple pies of it and that made John dream about it and strayed from the path. He went back to his family and encountered another vampire which he defeated together with Draluc, a touching moment for real.

John became the hero of the world and Draluc released that by taking him away to his castle, he'd leave him from the only ''family'' he has left. This isn't what John wanted and that made him go on a world trip to Europe and finally to Japan in the end. A beautiful trip with a lot of amazing sceneries and buildings. This showed perfectly the bond between John and Draluc. They both have a strong relationship for each other and would do anything to stay together. Ronaldo got left out even though he went to get donuts with him.

Great episode.

It wasn't the power of friendship how you win a fight but the power of lewd talk, it was repetitive but Draluc's dad made it more enjoyable.

Power of lewdness segment was absolutely horrendous, definitely one iteration too many of all these lewd jokes and pervy vampires and definitely the worst of the entire show so far (apart from half of episode 3 being outdated gay stereotypes): why did they play it so straight, like a generic shounen? Just saying lewd things isn't funny on its own, as this show itself should know with how creative it's been on that front prior to this point.

The John flashback was fantastic, though, and that contrast in quality in a single episode perhaps summarises the show as a whole in terms of how wildly inconsistent it has been.
