lol~ in the beginning.

Interesting meeting... like they happened in alternative time line (lights going on after they did so).

Interesting story about the legendary wolf and two Monarch members.

Monarch plans to defeat cold wolf in order to be king?

Yay @ threesome's combo!! And end of Monarch?

Endo got his ass triple teamed and kicked and the henchman as well, Sen was kicking ass even after being beaten to a pulp, my god Endo lifted the cart and used it as a weapon, it's this thinking outside of the box for fights which makes the series awesome. I loled at Ayame getting beat by You.

It got pretty intense when Endo starting using the cart but in the end, his ass got whooped big time.

the Monarch fight in general was ok but I seemed to like the others more. I did enjoy the fight music.

I guess this arc is over :/

finally I catch up with this anime. To be honest, this Anime is quite good.It really metaphor how "pride" is in the world with bento lol.

that monarch guy go on diet to become the greatest?Unfortunately......no food = no strength. He is just an idiot lol but getting diet can eat the most delicious bento is true.Since food is delicious no matter what if you are a hungry wolves.

yeah. Saito will get a second name as "HENTAI" wakakakka

Oshiroi talking about the "unity of Uke" is interesting, but that Saito guy interrupt!!!! bad Saito lol

Some things I have to share to fellow MAL users..

Funny introduction with the meeting.. Haha "Hey your not suppose to pee in the park" or something like that, made me giggle a bit. Shaga and her freakin' akimbo chopsticks. Nearly unbreakable and breaks everything she throws them at! Sato and his SAAAAAAAAAAAATO PAAAAAAAAAAWNCH at Endo ~ amazing desu fufufu.

And if you think closely! All this epic fighting for some food in a box. :D

..... and a sticker yay.

Good episode to finish the arc.

Satou,Shaha and Yarozui made a nice combo to beat Monarch.

The Wizard leaves the country but....for how long.

Lets see of what is going to be about the next Arc.

But it wasn't the Wizard who called him like that.

Good episode maybe a bit too serious. Too bad we couldn't see Satou vs Shaga but the 3v1 against Monarch was really good.

Good fight at the end, not much homour though. I like the fact that the Monarch arc ended already though, dragging stuff before this final fight would be annoying.

Guess this was fine to have a serious episode to end the Arc but it kinda takes away from that *meta shonen feel* hope they go back to the great humor we seen so far next week.

side note not sure how long it's out but i just started to read Bento-zero which seems likea prequel to this.

Same here, i found the whole 'guy wants to avenge loss and become no. 1' plot to not be serious enough for them to have eliminated the comedy aspect from this episode. I love how prideful Sen is but i really felt nothing during the scenes with the half price god and that wizard look-alike.

Still an entertaining episode and loved the Rocky III freeze frame.

My opinion on this episode is that there was too much exposition, not enough kick-ass bento fighting action. As a result, we get a disappointingly one-sided fight that should have been a lot closer what with Sato's previous humiliation and Yarizui's beat-up condition, and we didn't even get to see Yarizui vs. goons or Sato vs. Shaga.

There's still enough in this to keep me watching, but I can't help but feel that this episode could have been much better had the balance of dialogue and action been adjusted.

That was a fast way to end a war between two wolf packs from different sectors. For some reason I keep thinking that the Wizard and Yarizui are family (cousins?) from a line of wolves. Yarizui is one though girl. She looked more like she got r@ped than beat up when she arrived at the store to face the Monarch with her stretched shirt and ripped stockings. If Yarizui started wearing jeans she would probably have such a nice round bum shots when fighting.

I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

The wizard really leaving the series already? :(

I liked this episode.
I especially liked how quick the "bossfight" went. Not like in oter animes a five-episode-battle with hundreds of recaps and special moves. Just like any other Bento fight. Knock-'em-out-and-grab-the-food.

Why would Sato be called the Muscle Cop? Nothing about him would be muscle-cop-like and in the opening, the Muscle Cop is not him but Oshiroi (in some way a fitting name since she never uses muscle power).
Also, he still is faaar too weak for an official nom de guerre. He is about the same level as the Monk the others and all they have is their nicknames (well, Shaga DOES have a nom de guerre, but as the Monarch said: That's just for show).

Speaking of Hana, she made a great introduction! :D

and we didn't even get to see Yarizui vs. goons or Sato vs. Shaga
I agree - there were three major Bento fights and the ambush in this episode and we hardly saw anything.
Well, the ambush was not really that "important" to watch, I guess, and we know how every fight went, but I would have liked to see the Wolves defend the west (even if it would have been a very short scene), and of course the fight of Sato vs. Shaga.
I laughed when Hana said "We defendet it against the attackers." I mean... "we defended it"? WE? Everybody knows how she get's her Bento, I doubt she did anything to 'defend' the store... Well, maybe snatch the very last Bento box right under the nose of the Dogs.
Might have actually been quite an awesome scene. :D
Speaking of Ben-To's nonsense awesomeness: I liked the story of the Wizard fighting the Monarch Butterfly and afterwards heroically eating his Bento before he passed out. :D

In regard of the discussions last week: I didn't expect the Wizard to have been the Monarch Butterfly's opponent. But now that we know the whole story it makes even more sense.
Also this was a relief for the people who were worried Sato wouldn't get the chance for revenge because it would be Ice Witch vs. Monarch. This way it was maybe a little too easy (Shaga should have taken the Dogs and left the Monarch to the others) but at least everybody got something to do.

Wow, Monarch got pwned big time! Sato really showed him who's boss.

The Wizard leaving the show already?! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I’m just trying to be okay. Some days it’s harder than others. I hide away the most real parts of myself from everyone else. The emotions that I try to escape from. The constant pain I feel. The nightmares that keep me awake at night.

It hurts sometimes... knowing that the world is continuing happily all around me while I continue to drown in alcohol and slowly die inside myself.

Now that the Wizard is out of the city\country the Ice witch is the most powerfull bento figther around and that will atract rivals every day with Sato acting as backup(the underdog that comes to the rescue), the first rivals to show up must be the silver haired sisters bieng that they are the only characters present in the bento animeJap site that we havent seen in the anime.

And be prepared because the next episode will have a large dose of swimsuit fanservice . Now we have food,fights and girls in swimsuits that people is one hell of a mix .

I think I figured out, logically, why I love this story. They tend to have a few really kickass lines that seriously don't fit the concept, but still make the characters sound really cool. Paired with the fact that there are people beating the hell out of each other because they won't/can't/don't cook their own food just makes it really good.
