Yeah I sure loved this episode, imo Bossun's story is the best compared to Switch and Himeko.

Interesting conversation between Rumi and Switch at the festival about Bossun x Himeko. It showed that even Switch is surprised on how they are not together, and there is no progress.

5/5

Wow, really didn't expect that but akwardly it makes so much sense now...

Can't wait to see them interacting after that!

And it's true, Switch and Himeko's backstories can't compare to that (I hope we'll learn more about Switch sooner or later)

5/5 Loved it

Loved this episode. And I agree about Bossun's story being the best. SKET's character writing as a whole has been really impressive. I hope Tsubaki and Bossun begin to act like brothers at school, as I can see that having fun story repercussions.

The way how they brought upon the flow of the backstory is just simple amazing. This is why i love sket dance so much. Now that all the backstory for all 3 main characters are finished already, what are we going to have next? So i guess it'll be back to good ol fun slice of life anime next week onwards?

Well I didn't recognize Tsubaki in the last episode until the very end when he was shown as he looks now, but the moment I saw those two babies I realized who Bossuns brother was... though it still is a shock. xD

Geat episode!

Wow would have never expected that Bossun and Tsubaki were twins. Tsubaki has his mother's eyes so its not as hard to tell once you know.

Nice heart warming episode, probably the best one yet.
Loved switch and rumikos little conversation and how everyones reaction to bossun's family.

But my fav parts were when Bossun asked:..."so who's older?" the face he made when found out he was the oldest was really funny.
Also both his and tsubaki's shy faces at the end of the episode were really funny, I just love that face. And now there r two who make it :)

Yeah I loved that part too. I had a feeling Bossun was older, because when Tsubaki was being bullied by the river in the past it was Bossun that rescued and protected him like an older brother would.

I CANT BELIEVE THIS EPISODE!!

When the old man told Bossun at first I was a bit cautious being a huge Gintama and Sket Dance fan (avoidng the manga :P) ...

I thought I was gonna get trolled SO HARD at the end of the episode like..

"oh I sorry looks like we're talking to the wrong person" or something like that... haha

Overall 5/5 for his character arc,
I'm continually impressed with Sket dance with its clean humour and distinct styles.
and actually having backstory to boot

I have to say this episode was awesome. I'm glad Bossun is not alone in this world.

When the doctor told Bossun he had a twin brother...I was just like....WHT!!! And then for it to be Tsubaki was even more shocking...
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

This episode was one of the most touching ever.

Himeko and Switch backstories combined won't compare to this backstory of Bossun.

Now, things will get even more interesting!

Can't wait for the new characters.

wow this was great in so many ways deffinatly didnt see any of that coming. And are we starting to see some movement on the Himiko bossun front. And its great seeing more of bossuns family since they're so present in the opening theme but never show up in the any of the episodes his mom and imouto are so cute.

yeah they kind of left it unfinished but i think it probably will come when they show the forming of sket club since we know how himeko and bossun got together but they didnt even hint as to how he got involved with them in his story

So, once again the mangaka pulls a huge shocker from his bag of tricks...

At least with this story it was a little bit better than the utter nonsense from last week's episode....but still incredibly illogical.

Oh well, at least it was a nice ending.

next week, we'll find out that Bossun's parents came from another planet where they were royalty....now Tsubaki and Bossun must fight to death to see who will be King!!!

See...I'm a great writer just like the Sket Dance mangaka :D

Fucking loved this episode heaps!! Already read this in the manga but found the Anime adaptation to be better, or maybe I just love both the Anime and manga since I loved this arc. Himeko/Switch/Bossun back-stories are the best, but Bossun's back-story beats the other 2 by a large margin. :D Gotta love how the OP foreshadows this arc. <3

Sasuke and Yusuke, left and right, wow now that is creative. Didn't know what that meant initially. :D Seeing them argue with each other while finding out that they're twin brothers was hilarious. And the scene after the ED was just 'LMAO' material. xDD Their 'shy' faces are win.

This is why I love Sket Dance and how it is one of my favourites. Characters are unique and interact differently and awkwardly which makes it hilarious every time and majority of the episodes are random hilarity while some can be really serious that changes your perspective on the Anime. :D
Definitely a 5/5.

But I thought they dont know each others past, but it seems Switch knows, because when Rumi mentioned they are not blood related, he wasnt surprised....interesting :D

The confession of Tsubaki's dad to Bossun was delivered better in the manga. I wanted them to give an impact the "You are not alone." (the part I bawled my eyes out) in the anime but it happened so fast. Haru in the hospital was great though.

Overall, a wonderful episode. Tsubaki ♥

omg bossun has a twin brother!! :') When he started to cry at the end that was just so cute.. he's not alone anymore..! I really hope Tsubaki & Bossun start to become closer like real brothers.. not like super duper fast but maybe one day they can really be comfortable with each other (:
The similarities in their faces & actions at the end were so funny ^^

Honestly the twin thing kind of bugged me but I hope that it's not ignored in the rest of the series. If something doesn't come of it and it just get ignored I'll be even more annoyed.

Tsubaki and Bossun are so adorable, I can't even.

This was an amazing arc. I started to tear up at the part where Haru was dying and where Bossun started to cry. The end made me laugh so much. Also that Bossun x Himeko moment was much appreciated.I expected that they would show the dinner, so being a not manga reader, I wanted that scene to happen so badly.

I called that Tsubaki was his brother when Tsubaki's dad said the word siblings. I literally said "Tsubaki, right?"
