Man what an ep, they really upped the production values and brought the sakuga today. That final fight was amazing and the ending scene with Tohya apologising to his grandmother.

I have some issues with this episode but overall I think this was the most decent episode yet that felt like an actual Vanguard episode. Cardfight was glossed over as usual. Yes they showed it but the gameplay was very stiff with no real flow. I think this is just how the fight choreography will be at this point which is kind of frustrating but it is what it is. However. they properly showed how Vanguard is relevant to Tohya's character which was nice. His backstory shares parallels to older Vanguard characters like Kai, Ibuki and Ren. Sadly, the pacing felt very rushed as if they were trying to make up for lost time and unloaded everything about Tohya at us all at once. I think it lessens the impact a bit rather than build him over several episodes like they should have done. But for some reason they had to sideline him for 5 episodes and then remembered to bring him back. But at least they attempted to build him and his character arc is pretty clear as opposed to the rest of the cast. And is it me or did the writers completely forget that Danji made the decision to retire? Because he was ready to fight Tohya like it was just another challenge. What was that all about? And now we are officially halfway through the season and I still don't have an idea where this story is supposed to go. Lots of stuff that needs to be worked on but at the very least this is a step in the right direction.

By far the best episode so far. Tohya became the best character in the show within the span of a single episode. Still can't call the show good overall, but between how fun (even if technically "bad") last week's episode was, and how legitimately good this week's was, they might've turned a corner here. Here's hoping.
TEN COMMANDMENTS:
1) If Evangelion and Psycho-Pass are his only 10s, he probably also worships Tool and smells like cheesy puffs 2) Freudian psychosis =/= good writing 3) Moe blob art style is only ok in pure slice-of-life comedy 4) It's ok to enjoy shounen. Having fun is allowed 5) It is not ok to enjoy isekai (jk, it is, I just fucking hate it) 6) Creator breakdown =/= good writing 7) A story does not have to be wrapped up with a bow. Life is messy, why would a good story need to be tidy? 8) InuYasha is proto-Twilight 9) Ecchi CAN be good, but is almost always an abomination 10) If God is real, They allowed Super Kid to happen, so fuck Them

Tohya is hot, but his education is not. I've high respect for doctor, but everyone knows this profession has zero sexiness aura. I love men with low education like Danji. By the way, this show should change its name to "Everyone Loves Danji" LOL.

Touya is not just hot, he's also quite interesting and skilled. Plus, he's intelligent, which is my favourite quality in people.

Younger Touya looked so average. I can't believe he got so attractive without much exercise.

Why are people talking like Danji playing a card game would make him more injured? It's just a card game! lol

The ed changed for some reason.

I hope we see more of Touya.

Damn. Wasn't expecting such a deep layered episode that we got. With ow it really played into the idea of real life vs hobby/something you enjoy more. With how conflicting of interests it can be. Shit ran deep.

A sad backstory for this blond player hmm, that was quite ridiculous when you compared the card game to the death of the grandmother xD
