| So begins the Yuki vs Nitta arc. Not going to lie, I find it amusing that Yuki gets closer to Hitoyoshi more than ever now. The assassin vs assassin rivalry adds more dramatic moments than ever. It looks like Nitta treated this like a game and Hitoyoshi as a toy to play with. Felt bad that Hitoyoshi is caught up in all this but the fight between Yuki and Nitta was hype. |

| Well yeah, now that we know there's more assassins out there, it'd only be natural that we'd get to know more of them, and well, I'm noticing a pattern here that uh, they're all fucking horny lol. The other was seconds away from stealing the dude's chasity last episode, and this girl this episode just wants to live with a bunch of hot guys surrounding her... just great lmao. But yeah, speaking of the said girl from last episode, poor Yuki still hasn't gotten over what happened and is determined to be with dude at all times just in case she tries to pull something. Little did she know that while someone still did do something to dude, it wasn't the girl from last episode, but the girl that wants to live with a bunch of hot guys surrounding her... poor dude can't catch a break for shit xD Got to see some of Yuki's "dark side" and yeah, she isn't playing. She had that assassin aura to her alright. But aura wasn't enough to scare her away completely, but taking Hitoyoshi alongside with her. Got some backstory onto who Yuiki really is as well, with "the fourth of the nine fangs" or whatever. And boy, did she let that side of her out in that battle with other assassin girl. And holy was that battle hype. I mean, the girl legit deflected FOUR BULLETS WITH KNIVES LOL. Was quite the battle that did teach Yuki that she can change and shouldn't let these pricks boss her and tell her she can't. After all, she has Hitoyoshi right by her side that's slowly but surely helping her become more and more "regular" :) And the cherry on top, Hitoyoshi wants to learn some self-dfense techinques so that he can help Yuki in the future.. <33333 |

| Best episode so far! Yuki been doing her best to live a chill peaceful life with Hitoyoshi, but it seems like her old life isn’t done with her yet. Nitta was just the first wave of what I presume will be a recurring theme in the story of people trying to come after Yuki and most importantly Hitoyoshi. This should make things even more interesting and create some stakes in the series! Finally got to learn a little about Yuki’s past as Xue, her seiyuu’s Chinese is really good! But damn if she’s only the 4th seat of the 9 dragons.. I shutter to imagine how powerful those above her are. I don’t necessarily fear for her combat abilities, but now that she has people she cares about it’s gonna make any potential fight that much more difficult. “I’m supposed to be a man, so I want to help you at least a little Yuki-san” ahhh they’re so freaking cute I just want Yuki to be able to enjoy this newfound peace. One of my fave tropes is characters who’ve been raised as weapons coming into their own and finding happiness. |

| Retire to Santorini? That overrun overpriced tourist trap. It ain't what it used to be decades ago. Do you research and pick a much better Aegean island retirement. Now if you object is collecting to boy toy tourists, and overnight trip to Santorini would be okay. "Like heck it does!!" Some hints that Hitoyoshi has some as yet hidden special qualities. A remarkable degree of courage has been revealed anyway. I wonder if our Catwoman Assassin will become a recurring character, and not just as an antagonist. |

| You threaten Hitoyoshi and Ms Yuki will show no mercy, the battle between Yuki and Nitta was fantastic. |

| Damn, what a hot cat-woman villainess, I believe she's the same lady that was dressed as a nurse in the previous episode as she mentioned in this episode how she's been tracking and listening to their conversations for a couple of weeks. Regardless, she lost but she did warn Yuki that there could be others after her as a high value target so it's good to see Hitoyoshi want to learn some defensive moves and also not evict Yuki. Maybe there is more to Hitoyoshi than what appears... |
| It has better animation that "superproductions" in this season |
 |
| Nitta is adding a good amount of spice. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
Probably the last thing that I expected to make an appearance in this show lol |
| When the cute maid starts speaking Chinese, you fucking run lol. Fortunately for Nitta she still survived after pulling such a stunt, but I feel like she won’t be trying it again, hopefully she’ll become an ally going forward, a sexy cat lady nurse ally lol. But yeah that was a pretty fun scuffle, this was a true display of Yuki’s skills as an assassin, I don’t think anyone is blocking bullets with knives irl but it certainly looks badass in anime, and Hitoyoshi was surprisingly very cool headed, but I also like that it kinda maintains the silly nature of the show, if he was screaming and in fear then it wouldn’t have been as fun, also Nitta’s reactions were hilarious too which eased the tension. But this wasn’t simply about Yuki protecting Hitoyoshi, this is also where we found out what Yuki’s life as Xue the assassin was truly like, and apparently she’s one of the best and youngest of a group of assassins that controls world events, so you mean to tell me this is the same girl that goes gaga for tonkatsu sauce lol. Cool stuff tho, and instead of turning Hitoyoshi away, this situation just brought he and Yuki closer than ever, I’m sure this won’t be the last time their peaceful life is threatened either, I look forward to more great moments between these two and whatever other crazy mf tries to get in their way. |
| Nitta has some grand plans for her own life. She definitely did her research, being able to trick Yuki with the katsuda sauce. Yuki is such a badass, she had an answer for everything Nitta did. I'm glad the relationship between herself and Hitoyoshi will only get better from here. |

| Ueda Reina ASMR for this episode is too good. |
| For me this anime has just become a worse version of The Fable. An master assassin can't kill anyone, but because of their reputation they are being targeted and have to find ways to win without killing. The animation is also similar in this episode, with how little the characters were moving. The Fable made the best out of it, but this is just meh. Overreliance on speed lines, reuse of boring, static cuts, poor editing... The story has technically gotten better, yet the anime has gotten worse. I'm not even a big fun of the story progression personally. To me it doesn't seem like the story has evolved, but that it has lost it's focus. It's clear now that this was always the direction the story was heading, however I doubt it was intended for it to feel like it has just changed its identity for the sole purpose of getting more popular. I believe that a story is good if it can do a single thing really well, no matter what that thing is. "Jack of all trades, master of none" rarely works for me. |

| @LordCrueltyV I wonder if our Catwoman Assassin will become a recurring character, and not just as an antagonist. Check out the key visual. |
| Nitta in her cat-woman style suit looked really hot, but she certainly was brave enough to pick a fight against Yuki, or "Xue" as she was known back in her hayday as a top-tier assassin. While it was a little too easy for her to kidnap Hitoyoshi in the first place, Yuki did make up for it when she confronted Nitta at the school grounds. Nitta's trap setups wasn't bad at all, but Yuki did make quick work of everything with relative ease. The fact that she did spare Nitta does show that she fully means when she wanted to move on from her old life and be a different person. Yuki and Hitoyoshi did have a nice scene together afterwards. It makes sense for Hitoyoshi to ask Yuki for self-defence lessons after what happened to him. I'm sure this will help further deepen the bond that these two have for each other. =) |
| It's a relief that everything worked out. I agree with Hitoyoshi: he knew Yuki would save him! Nitta didn't pose much of a threat to Yuki this time (I hope she comes back as comic relief), though she's probably not the only one who wants to kill her, and if it comes down to facing the "Nine Dragons," things could get serious. It's great that Yuki's abilities are superhuman, but she's still wonderfully human at heart, sweeter than tonkatsu sauce. She's apparently 16, though that seems like a made-up age, but it doesn't matter; with Hitoyoshi by her side, her days can only get better. What Hitoyoshi did in the end was exactly what Yuki needed to hear. He's a great guy, and Yuki is really an adorable girl. |

Are blushed hands a new form of expression? I never seen it before. |

So much action in one episode, I loved it!
To be honest, it bothers me a bit, it's clear that there will be those who will go after Yuki and try to kill her, but why didn't she fake her death from the beginning? That way she would have avoided all that, I mean, even the assassin said that she had to check very well that Yuki was Xue because she didn't look like her ._.

| @LuisSV23 why didn't she fake her death from the beginning? Because from the beginning, she had not planned to leave any of this behind. When she knocked on Hitoyoshi's door, she still hoped to keep working as an assassin, so her reputation should have been important enough to need to fake her death. In fact, she is still discovering herself and her purpose; even in the last episode, she was still unsure about whether to return. |
| Great episode... |
 |
| The episode with more action1!! Yuki save her lover after be kidnaped!!! kekeke |
| Wow Yuki speaking in Chinese... but that was interesting to learn a bit more about her backstory and her former clan which seems to be highly reputed hence why blue haired girl wanted to kill her since it's a very high achievement, anyway it ended well of course and without Yuki killing anyone, I wonder if we'll see some other members of her clan at some point |
 |
| So she's like Kenshin who repudiated her old life. Anyway, this other assassin will perhaps be Yuki's rival for his affection, even if the mc is useless. We've all seen a harem protagonist being useless, right? |
| Nitta's catastrophe has been averted. Hitoyoshi's calmness and full faith in Yuki is exceptional. Even an assassin like her had to take note of that! This is a found family story folks. So even when Yuki's past comes to bite her, she's got too much of a good thing going to ever go back to that cold hearted line of work. Now I wonder if this cat themed assassin is going to stick around and poke the friendly maid. She did seem pretty amused by it when she wasn't terrified. |
 |
| Xue the white wolf, 4th of the nine dragons. What is this battle shounen lol. Cool af though. Also "I Grace have a dream". Noway that isn't a Giorno reference lol. |
