I knew this about Goto-san. But I was hesitant about it, now that I've confirmed, it makes me really sad. Poor my baby.
I don't remember that kid from the first episode but I can't wait to see what's gonna happen from now on.

In a year damn.

"A security alarm set off by a kitten." That one made me laugh.

Mizuki was looking good in her outfit.

Stalking Goto with the awesome Pink Panther style music ;)

"You may be the last source of evil in this world." Ha burned!

Goto... serious case of depression :(

Sawada Haiji?

This episode confirmed that peace in real life is boring.

Ok, this is more of the Flamenco I like. But seriously, I thought Goto's girlfriend was dead from the first OP with him and the bouquet but emailing messages to himself? Wow.

And THAT KID! I knew I'd see you again. I knew it from episode 1 that he was special!

What's gonna happen now? Oh, I can't wait for the next episode!

I kind of had a feeling it would be something like this because it was just awkward how they only texted each other. Pretty damn depressing to see it actually be the case though.

Just like I thought in the beginning of this series. I mean remember the first opening scene with Goto-san wearing black suit and was standing, then walking in the cliff near the sea (and looks like he throw a bouquet of Rose). Because of that, I assume something (probably bad) happen with his girlfriend.

And this week episode's has the answer of it

I feel sorry for Goto-san..

But I completely forgot about the boy in first episode. he show himself again in this episode XD

Give me an epic ending and 9/10.
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!
Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!"

So the pairing, Mari X Goto and Hazama X his manager ?

I want this mystery to solve before the series end.

Hazama's parent, who kill them?
I don't think they died because random thug murdered them.


Where is Goto' girlfriend disappear? that incident was like spirited away.
Is some aliens kidnap her?

3 episodes left, I hope something epic.

exactly. i believe this "kid" had something to do with it. after the gorilla anything in this show is possible.
but in the end i believe they are all in some mental institution and the "vilains" were actually the nurses and doctors of the mental institution

Well, she disappeared and they didn't found her body, and we have plot twists every episode, Goto's girlfriend still can appear in an alien form, or something like that.

I feel sorry for Goto-san..
I remember the same thought came to me, too!!!
But DAMN!!! My only faith in this anime has died...along with Gotou's sanity!!! I was utterly shocked by this episode......I'm speechless right now! TT~TT I'm extremely upset and just got my heart broken! :| I thought he was the representation of rationality, common sense and what not, but his mental state is so messed up.....I don't even know if I feel sorry for him because of what he went through or because he couldn't deal with it and turned into an insane man! ;||

Well done with making Gotou look all normal and stuff and then revealing his true nature! Can't deny I didn't see this coming at all!!! ;/

Well now we see why Goto didn't get involved with the absurdity of Samurai Flamenco. He was living in his own absurd world. Though the unique spin on it is that what happened to his girlfriend made him become a police officer.

Goto - “These days all we get are people needing directions or looking for missing kids. Which is a good thing, I realize."

That comment really takes on a different meaning by the end of the episode.

This final arc looks like it'll be a doozy.

I can't believe what just happened at the end. THIS IS JUST GETTING BATSHIT CRAZY LIKE VALVRAVE DID!!

I've been overanalyzed about that mysterious kid & those thugs from the first episode but still NO one talks about it!!

2. I wonder what's gonna happen to Gotou-san at the end of the show...

I feel so sorry for Goto-san. To this point, I have always seen him as the voice of reason but he is more screwed up than anyone. He has no right to call Hazama baka ever again. Honestly, It is disturbing to me that he is even a cop with a gun lol.

Well, the series has finally gone full circle back to the speech he gave to the kids in Episode 1 - a powerful speech and most serious one I feel from Hazama. So does he have to get the kids home now?

Unfortunately, the animation looked pretty bad in certain areas but the story for me was a lot to be desired. Correct me if I am wrong but we only have 2 episodes left?

We will see what happens, however, I would have been asking a lot more questions if I saw the "will" of the universe in the last episode.

Three actually. Also, I actually really liked the animation in this episode (and show). I mean, in no way is it on par with the artist's(Kurahana Chinatsu) other works like Utapri and Evol, but still it's great.

Oh well kinda disappointed that's how it is after all :/...so the bully kids are the new villains? Also I expect them to find out what happened to that bus, maybe Gotou's gf is alive after all? And shes the final boss!!

We all called it.

Instead of feeling sad for Gotou, I just found it kind of funny. Gotou's girlfriend being nonexistent has been a running gag/theory since the very beginning. It's hilarious that it actually came true.

Thing is, you know they're going to pull off some crazy twist with his actual missing girlfriend from the past. Final boss, anyone?

That aside, gotta give props to the show for remembering about that kid from the first episode. I was wondering if he would make a return. Would you look at that! Samurai Flamenco has some structure, after all!

Honestly, though, this feels like an episode that should have come earlier on in the series. Before the Guillotine Gorilla nonsense, I mean.

I actually kinda expected this since it's foreshadowed on the 1st opening sequence.

But look at the similarities of Gotou's gf to masayoshi's manager. Lol. I wouldn't be surprised, after being surprised tens of time, if she lost her memories.

YOOOO Why do they do this to Goto? He's a really nice character and he doesn't deserve this, it's really sad to see him like that... :( I so much hope they'll find his girlfriend once they beat the final boss/kid and he gets to have his happy ending. Okay the mailing thing is a little creepy but what the heck there have been stranger things in anime, not only this one. But I do hope he'll be able to get over it or to get his happy ending in the end.

I just want the kid to go away already, he's not going to win so I just hope they'll focus on ending everything neatly instead of going for a huge flashy fight but leave everything else unanswered/open.

Damn why must Goto's girlfriend be the one thing everyone predicted :(

Woah, that was really unexpected that Gotou was texting himself the whole time. i still think that either Masayoshi's manager or Mari is his missing girlfriend. and things came full circle with that kid he gave the speech to at the beginning being a villan now.
