Matakara losing his chance to recruit Arajin into his Minato Kai group, and him coming into Siguma, the tides have turned...or is there still a chance?

Arajin joining Siguma for Mahoro, that's his one and only goal, while Marito does his usual.to help defend his school people off the group that chased him the first time around: the NG Boys. And as a welcome party, them playing rock-paper-scissors de-punchery style, that definitely is a blast of fists everywhere. Obviously, Arajin is the target, but the leader of its Special Attack unit Outa Tahide having a go at him, wherever Senya gives him his power blessings a.k.a his head, that's where its power will be focused at. But a misstep of Arajin lightly punching Kakeru after watching some girls, he won out of stupidity, and that leads him to Marito.

Arajin getting a stomachache, to only have Outa be hit directly from Minato Kai, normally it would be its leader Doman pulling the strings, but Marito knowing that it's not him, his attacker is still unknown. That said, Mahoro wanting Arajin to succeed Marito so that he would have time for her bro-con love, that just fires Arajin up.

The members of Minato Kai hit up by the NG Boys and their Emperor leader, the back and forth between Minato Kai and Siguma, unless they know that they're being played with another rival group, they both will be done for.

For now, how would the 2 biggest rival groups clear the misunderstanding that's hard to keep tabs?

What a fun ep to say the least, seeing Arajin play rock, paper, scissors was jokes. Cant lie the plot is acc decent so far, still don’t know where the anime is going to end up towards? Ending song slaps tho, the full song.

I originally ruled out the idea of Akutarou having the blue Majin on the basis that it felt like too obvious a plot point, but it seems to have been executed in a very satisfying way. Of course, there’s always the possibility that they really are just talking to themselves and Matakara or another character actually does have the blue Majin, but we shall see. For me, the show has reverted to the level of excitement and interest as SK8 the Infinity after the two-episode high of the last two episodes, but I'm no less committed to the series, it is really great and I'm really excited for the next episode. Honestly, when Mahoro detached her jaw to unleash a sonic screech it was incredible 10/10.

So the NG Boys are going around beating up Sigma and Minato members to instigate a war between them. Let's see how this huge misunderstanding gets resolved.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

In the title of the episode there is なぐり愛 (naguri ai) - lit. "punch love", which is a pun on 殴り合い (naguriai) - "fist fight"
4:41 酒池肉林 (shuchinikurin lit. alcohol pond meat forest) - sumptuous feast; debauch
7:32 Lol it's written よろしく (yoroshiku) with two layers of slang. よろしく is something like "Please treat me well"/"Please take care of me". You hear it really often in Japanese.
8:37 池 - pond was replaced with 血 (chi) - blood.
The welcoming ceremony was fun lol
15:37 The signs have arabic translations on them, interesting. (irl signs in Japan have English translations)
As I and everyone else keeps saying: Araji's mom best girl
Just realized that the final scene in the ED was different every episode. In episode 1 it was Arajin, in episode 2 Matakara, and this episode Kenichirou.
Interesting episode, someone is instigating a war between the 2 gangs.

what kind of love triangle is going on between Mahoro,Marito,Arajin ?bro-con
and I want to see a reason to why is a Arajin total simp and why did he gave up on his dreams which led to him avoiding Matakara.
or did he lose hope because of some childhood trauma that involves Matakara.

I love how the ED animation changes slightly with each episode, makes you stay for the entire ending, though the ending song is big enough of a banger on warrant no skip.

How Mahoro manipulates and exploits Arajin is pretty hard to watch, his desperation to get laid makes it hard for me to empathise him with. It's always played for laughs but I find it rather annoying.

I also hope this misunderstanding won't drag on much longer. Marito already stated the fact that its unlikely those sneaky attacks are coming from the the rival group.

Mahoro screaming at Matakara got me dying man 😭 bro just wanted to ask a question lmao. Her obsession with her brother is getting ridiculous at this point 💀. I was kinda worried when she came to Arajin’s mom shop that she would threaten the mom or something

Looks like a third party is trying to stir up trouble between the two main gangs.. but why? This story is so wacky in the best possible way and I just have a lot of fun with it. Definitely one of the freshest anime stories in a long time

I love this anime so much man I love the colors and how the animation has that pristine MAPPA feel to it (well it’s made by MAPPA but you know what I mean😅)

As much as yall hate the MC I’m waiting for the story to explain why he’s like that bc I still find him likeable imo, is he as likeable as his childhood best friend? No but I still like him tho nonetheless

Mahoro is fucking CRAZY bro like disgustingly next level crazy like how in love is she with her brother and when she imagined him picking her up had my jaw dropped😭😭😭

I love the ending so much I like Mahoro’s resting bitch face while she does her dance and I love the Arabian clothing as well it’s such a nice touch to this anime🔥

Arajin's only motivation is to get with Mahoro and he'll do anything, even taking over Siguma.

So far, the set up for this episode is gonna bring us some sweet fights next week between Siguma and Minato Kai, and maybe the Emperor will make a public appearance as this was his plan to get them to fight each other.

This anime combines some really good things with some unfortunate bad things too. I’m not ready to write off the main character yet because character development exists, but I hope it starts soon. The sister bugs me a lot too. But it is fun, and funny with some great animation so it’s easy to let some of the stuff slide.

Judging by this and previous eps it's not that whoever created the character of Arajin, can't make a good MC ... I think Matakara can give us a good idea of what qualities an MC should have.

Gotta echo the sentiments of others here of how garbage of a mc Arajin is.

Not because he's done bad things, but he's just so damn pathetic with his one track mind of wanting to lose his virginity with a girl who hates him. Like it's embarrassing to watch how pathetic he is. He's like Denji from CSM but 1000000x worse. Denji at least has charm and is likeable, but I can't find a single likeable thing about Arajin. What a c*nt lol. I really wanna know why he's such a dick to Matakara too. Can only hope he'll get some character development and not be so insufferable.

Buuuut not ready to drop the show yet because the secondary cast keeps things very entertaining. And I'm very curious to see what Utsumi is going to cook up. It's gonna get pretty boring if each episode is the same where Arajin manages to scathe by because of luck

Better episode this week, it kinda irritable that Arajin doesn't answer matakara question and doesn't care about other thing other than Mahoro chan. How can he forget his bestbud that easily. Serve him right when he forced to participate in debauchery. Hope Arajin can show more emotion toward other thing. it funny though everyone kinda see him as obstacles.

Senya is positive and helpful sidekick he's not deserving, it interesting that Mahoro have self defense mechanism and the interaction with Matakara is highlight, potential ship. The gang from other schools is the one behind the incident it seem

I have a feeling Kenichiro is merged with that blue honkibito from the intro. Like fully merging gives the user a powered up muscle form and he hides behind the screen so no one can see him in his normal unmerged state.

seems like the two rival gangs actually have a mutual respect for each other and a "code" of sorts. mutual respect, but also a dislike for each other (kind of two opposite things, but kind of not). i'm really not liking this white clothed gang from the other school. real bitch moves they're making. i want to see them get taken out by the two rival gangs teaming up together

and regarding white clothed gang, their leader was talking to himself...as if he were actually talking to his invisible honki... hmm

also, i don't like this girl at all. she's awful. and her brother love sucks. sticking with female characters, though, the mom is great!

Another great episode.

That jan ken pon game was really funny.

I wonder what that mark in Arajin-kun's back. And Senya-san keeps looking at it with a suspicious face.

Also this NG Boys really made Minato Kai and Siguma Squad fight each other.

Looking forward next week.

Kind of an ok episode, moving some plot forward without anything too major to the main characters. Matakara keeps trying at least, but Arajin still being resistant. At least they spoke a bit. Also good that Matakara and Mahoro don't get along, I don't want her near him either haha. Also dang Outa coming in just to be a victim for the plot too.

My gosh, I know this is probably a set-up for some good character development but I really hope Arajin stops simping over this girl by the sixth episode. He's seriously so frustrating to watch.

Anyways, a somewhat entertaining episode. Marito certainly takes the center stage for being the most entertaining and charismatic (?) character. Though I don't really like where this gang fight is going...the way the members of the two main gangs just jumped to conclusions and went at each other's throats without bothering to confirm who actually hurt their respective members is...well, probably realistic given they obviously don't have high IQ and EQ, but still pretty frustrating to watch. Even though some damage has already been done, I hope Mahito and Douman are sensible enough to talk things out first and figure out there's a third party at play.

Seems like Marito and Ken may have a mutual respect for each other? I wonder why they have a school clashing then when it seems like they may both be cool. Marito seems to view Ken as honorable and isn't looking for any fight for any reason. I guess the other gang will maybe cause them to work together?
