THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Kind of slow episode but lots of explanation.I really liked the following,

It might not be much but kyaaaaaaaa @ Yuuko putting her head on Narumi’s stomach! :D Its close up in the spoiler
Looks cute as well. Yuuko being like that was totally adorable. Although not as intense as last week, it still made my day. Yuuko had an amazing face in the spoiler
and I find her ramen having a little too much of something. For some reason Yuuko’s face was nice here.

Narumi crying in the following,

Made me emotional with him too. I consider a lot Narumi as a good friend IRL that is just goofy should one like Narumi be out. I also got quite surprised at Soichirou in the spoiler
it only looked like Narumi wanted to check something out and Soichirou grabbed him like that. And that something is none other than a scar that is hidden behind the tattoo. It’s rather interesting the story of Renji and Soichirou in the spoiler
apparently it shows that a woman was taking care of them and as such perhaps loved them both. OMG I though she was Minli. She looks so much like her. Then comes the tragedy in the spoiler
now that was T_T really sad. Think about it, the girl who cares for you in the worst times dies in front of you. Soichirou and Renji were both there. Clearly it was a katana or long knife that got her but I think it’s more a katana. Crazy.
  • One of things I found interesting is the Hiroaki situation with the girl in the spoiler
    oh my my Hiroaki, you still have nice sex there. However the story of the girl that contains a person having been sliced was freaking wacko! Totally nuts that she saw all this!
  • Although Ayaka had a small role this episode I liked her part in the spoiler
    it was funny and her happy facial made my day too in regards to this episode.

  • The original design and end result of the emblem in the spoiler
    were superb. I liked it and would wear that T-shirt.
About preview, as if the end of episode is screwed up with the ambulance the wall of blood here really gets me O_O let’s just say and next episode shit is going down with Renji. I wonder how is Narumi going to handle him. Overall good episode.

BTW stitches in the spoiler
ones of Yuuko are amazing as usual.

zomg for a sec i thought narumi's gonna get punched by both the 4th and renji o_o;
anyways we get some background info on both renji and souichirou and it turns out this is another tragic case of misunderstanding with the death of hison what kind of mental person stabs a pregnant woman IN THE ABDOMEN?
when narumi was about to touch the 4th's mark, it seemed quite extreme to suddenly hand lock him like that O_O; i know its the 4th but jeez man, slow down on the narumi-torture o_O;
next epi seems quite serious and probably the last episode in this arc D: that blood splatter on the wall in the preview was very very disturbing; i wish its not the 4th getting owned by yugi renji, but the end of the episode hinted at that so i guess its gonna happen DX

Okay, this was pretty bad. I mean thr whole misundertanding between Sou and Reiji was a fail from the very start. How stupid must Reiji be to believe that Gotouda group wanted to kill Sou but stabbed Hison, and then paid him for silence about that? Seriously, they'd just kill him too if that was the case, it should be fucking obvious.
<- This is how i felt when Reiji told Narumi that lolstory.
But oh well, i like Alice now and this ep had a bit of her wich i enjoyed.

Also funneh how Hiro had to sleep with that woman to get information about Hison's death.

Renji really is set on revenge but there was actually no point in the 4th hiding the truth , since people are sure to find out sooner or later and misunderstandings will happen but oh well mistake happens everyone does it , his just happen to pay a bigger price though he really was a good friend

it was pretty obvious but i dunno if people saw that yoshiki who owns the craft shop is probably hison the woman who got stabbed. She is probably a transgender now, it said half the money was used for surgery and half on real estate. So money for a sex change and money for the start of her craft shop. Also yoshiki has the stab wound where hison was stabbed. So basicaly this is what the 4th is hiding.

Narumi is starting to remind me of a wimpier version of Touma. He spouts endless lines of nonsense, though he doesn't deliver any punches aimed at lolis and other women.
And ever since Yoshiki stood up and gripped his stomach, I was like "Aw crap, really? Please, don't do that." Then it'd be no wonder he acts like a faggot.
I sure hope it's not actually like that though. I even can't remember the last time I ever hoped to be wrong this strongly.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

omg. not enough suspense to make this show actually good. when that guy gripped his stomach i was like "no..........guh where has the imagination in anime gone" and narumi was sooooooo suzaku in this episode. i agree with the touma comparison tho. the only way this would be bearable is if naurmi like took a bullet. in the ass. for his ideals. lots of bullshit. and i laughed when he started crying.

only good part of this ep was when hiro slept with that bitch to get the information haha. and is it just me or was everyone else wtf-face palming-budget cuts in the beginning of the episode? seriously yondaime gained like 10 lbs for this ep

Well that was easy to find out. Hison isn't really dead. She just took on a disguise to make sure that the people who stabbed her don't find her. She's Yoshiki, I think that's the name. That person had an old "ache" which is probably where she got stabbed. The money that Alice was talking about that went to a surgeon was probably for her.

I'm so glad you said this. Immediately when I saw Yoshiki grab for his stomach, I swore he was Hison. PLus it would make sense why he and the Fourth have such a good relationship shown in a previous episode.

Solved the case of Yoshiki.

Now if you look in the spoiler
notice where his hand is and the wound of Hison. Case solved! Yoshiki did go to the surgeon to have a sex change and from the looks of the wound it was near fatal if it did not still recover from him not being to stand up too long. The ex-wife paid a lot or was left off. The boss paid for all this because he knew that it was his fault within the Gotouda Group but I am still confused as to why the fuck would lead another group into raiding your own club for?

This episode was allot better then last week.
And the story became allot more interesting.
I also think Hison is still alive especially after it was mentioned that there was a down payment to a surgeon by the leader of the gang that ran the hostess club.
Which suggests plastic surgery tho a doubt it's a gender change like Yumekichi11 suggests.

That Hison was pregnant is also possible but this doesn't explain why the Fourth accepted the money from the woman.
There is more behind it the question is what.

totally agree with you, been totally fooled by this anime

seriously i thought this anime was going to be good when i watch the first episode, but ever since the first episode it has been boring me until now.

each episode is getting worse and worse.

typical boring and cheesy anime that create convenient character settings.

a student protagonist sharing sake with a mob boss and joining a gang, while hanging out with a bunch of childish neets?

doesn't make sense to me

bunch of half ass-mobs with a boss who's trying to be tsun? yakuza??!!

grown up man talking about nothing but brotherhood and friendship?

"i knew it, you didn't want that, you still regard him as a friend right?"

"shut up, this is not what you think, you'll never understand"

mob boss + yugioh + protagonist should just fuck and make this anime a yakuza BL

makes me want to vomit, fucking drop

yeah mystery given away. I think the real twist will be Yugi's real motives. Like Alice said, he's going about destroying everything Sou built up in a rather round about way, I bet he's after something else.

Best line: "I can't think of a better way to describe you as 'better than nothing'." Now my favorite Tsundere.

Well that's another mystery solved, well, partly. Tot think that Hison who got stabbed is actually Yoshiki. The moments with Yuuko were cute as hell too.

Yeah I think Hison is that Yoshiki guy too, same wound spot and have a very strange relation with Sou. They did say there was money for surgeon, maybe for a sex change :o?

Btw Hiroaki is a pro.

Next episode looks intense, can't wait to see how this ends.

Everyone already figured out that Hison is...Yoshiki? But I don't think she got a sex change. They could have just cut her hair, gave her glasses. I mean from the flashback she's already flat chested ._.

Renji wants to kill Souchirou because he thinks that Sou used the woman he loved as a shield, simple enough, whats strange is why he still speaks in kansai.

The other mystery is why they gave money to Sou, was it money for him to keep quiet about the fact that, Hison is still alive and well and going under the name Yoshiki or is it to keep him quiet that Hison is alive and had a sex change? Doesn't matter though same difference.

So...we had a Minli episode...a Souchirou arc...which character is next...Ayaka maybe?

You guys are really good. I didn't even get that clue when Yoshiki grabbed his stomach. Must be because my skill of detecting the link between logically unrelated clues so common in plots has lost its touch, after my mental snark mode automatically went into full power during each of these episodes.

Like Law & Order finest detectives, this community along with Animesuki hosts quite a large amount of people that for the many some have intellectual capabilities of applying knowledge into anime. Thus we have people to point out things like details and such. Which is why I got the Yoshiki thing and many others did.

In fact this series is best talked about the details that are presented in a mystery format to be solved. So far a excellent job was done to figure Yoshiki's secrets and as such only time and episodes will tell the details more or less. Let's hope the studio does not omit what is needed.
