| The Dokudami trio a.k.a Team Boar are a formidable bunch, the strongest and one of the nicest trio team made up of Dokudami, Aogiri and Shakuyaku. Only except, never to address them with a particular word: "stupid". And Asagao went running with her mouth for Tsubaki to shield her and issue a duel summons with Dokudami. Oh welp, their "no sense of direction" weakness (which they proclaimed that they overcame), that's a real problem. And regardless of how Sazanka tries to dissuade Tsubaki, she decides to face Dokudami head on...except that thanks to Mokuren, they never really overcame their inital weakness, they're really stupid and directionless lols. Rindou, more than getting used to her bare face, she's not being sure why Sazanka refers to Tsubaki as Nee-sama, and this is their backstory: The forming of teams, and Sazanka's clearly not the same girl as she was now, being the aloof prankster that everyone avoided her like the plague. While Tsubaki has Hinagiku's team to contend with, she however, tries to earn her sympathy and by force, carry her back to the clan from an injury and treasure her as a friend to be accepted into her team. Needless to say, through circumstances that Hana-sensei already imposed that's the custom, Team Dog is what it is today. The part of the backstory untold is also what gives the series its allure: all the Kunoichi girls that are named after flowers, and both Tsubaki and Sazanka (sasanqua) are sister camellia flowers. The more you know. |

| A new group appears with a very bad sense of direction is seems. Well hopefully the will manage the challenge with Tsubaki at some point. Learning a bit about the characters past was also nice. |
| A new group came back but they didn’t have sense of orientation after xD. Backstory from Sazanka and Tsubaki very wholesome. ED changed |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Sazanka’s backstory was so cute. Makes sense why she respects Tsubaki so much now. Not only did she carry her back to the village on a bum ankle, but also saved her from being lonely. Great friend Looking forward to getting more info about team Boar too. |
 |
| They were all somehow even cuter when they were smoller, so Sazanka was a problematic child, Tsubaki has always been an angel and Asagao a pure hearted girl, I like a lot every character from the show and the action can be pretty good but funnily enough I'm still not sold on the premise of the show about Tsubaki basically being a coomer. Boar team was great, they have the skills and attitude but lacking on navigation. |
| Great episode! Asagao just had to call team boar stupid didn't she xD. Now Tsubaki has to fight Dokudami... But they really are stupid... It was nice to see the backstory of how Tsubaki and Sazanka first became friends also... Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
 ♥ Sazanka was kind of my favourite character, but this episode confirms it. With this little backstory we see that it's not just blind admiration that she has for Tsubaki. Rather, her respect comes from Tsubaki having reached out to her and didn't give up in trying to get through her tough outer shell. Plus she doesn't call her "nee-sama" for no reason either, having it stem from their names which are somewhat related. Looks like we have the ending sung by team boar, who are the new cool but dumb kids on the block lol! |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Boar team was a good introduction and I hope we see more of them because I really enjoyed watching them and them having no sense of directions great. Sazankas backstory was cute and it was nice to see all the characters as kids (+ wearing different outfits lol) |
 |
| Great episode. We got new characters, and they're apparently the strongest team, with the weakest sense of direction. Reminds you of someone? Yeah, me neither. We also got the answer as to why Sazanka always called Tsubaki, "Nee-sama." Possible meme: Zoro: Hello, Team Boar from In The Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki Team Boar: Hello, Zoro from One Piece Didn't feel like creating the meme |
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
| Sazanka and Tsubaki alone in the forest was top art/animation. Beautiful! |
| Team Boar is the most hilarious team imo. They made me laugh so hard, hope to see more of them. Also, cute backstory of Team Dog. Little Tsubaki is so cute! Btw, CloverWork never fails to impress me with the EDs in every episode. Whoever's in charge of making them is a genius. |
| Heh, I was thinking how the second story sneakily answered why you'd make a team all of people who can't navigate then the post-credits went and said it. Still not fond of Sazanka. She seems sort of terrible past and present. Of course, she doesn't mix well with team Boar. Who does she get along with? |
| I was thinking, why would they pair three people with a bad sense of direction in one group, but the way they resolved that was actually pretty amazing. Added depth to team Dog and team Boar. |
 |
| So glad to finally get Sazanka's backstory. I have always wanted to know where that admiration for Tsubaki comes from. Turns out its more along the lines of respect. That's one concern of mine addressed. I was hyped for the Team Boar VS Tsubaki battle. I was under the impression she was the strongest around. Too bad, they have a horrible sense of direction and the solution they came up with is something even Zoro wouldn't choose. Such a shame. Next time, maybe. |
 |
| The first impact was like a scene from Evangelion. kind of astonished by the shock (in spite of the small amount of drawing). Finally, orthodox ninja-like members appeared: one is powerful, another is quick, the other is precise, and they use dowsing for orientation... The new member with mask functioned well as a device for introducing another members and telling the backstory of Sazanka. |
| Lmao the boar team really has the worst sense of direction, never call them stupid though xD The backstory part for Sazanka and how she got along with Tsubaki was good, nice idea to form teams. |
 |
| what the fuckk that sazanka bit was so cute. and i lovee team boar lmao |
| Eyy the strongest team with a weakness of having no sense of direction. Sensei should've not let them in one team lol. But i bet both sensei didn't really know and realize them gone, and their journey actually start from those beginning of the first team formed until the beginning of this episode xd. Insane, but stupidly strong. Though after they found out a secret technique and manage to return to the village, and start sharing their meals. The secret technique unfortunately start to fooled them, to the point they might be doing another journey to the west, until however future time guide them back to return xd. Alright Sazanka backstory behind her clinging behavior toward Neesama, why she used the same kind of clothes like Neesama, and why she called Neesama, a neesama. its actually comes from such a sweet little story. Then look how Asagao at first still wasn't that thicc back there. But since she joined Tsubaki, she is shaping herself more into a busty one xd. Tsubaki really changed those kids, pretty much. The same as Rindou too! Though if only Benisumomo decide to cancel her ego and instead following and helping Tsubaki... |

| This should have the slice of life tag, cause that's what this really is, and it's a joyous watch. Another fun little episode. Hope to see somebody on Team Boar vs Tsubaki soon. |
| Pretty good episode! We were introduced to Team Boar and they're hilarious lmao. I guess strength really has it's price. But hey, at least they managed to bring home some boar meat. I like how they're utilizing Rindou to show their backstories, feels more natural that way. The backstory was great, but damn, they've gotten even more loli'd lmao. Another straight up banger ED. |
 |
| That was a sweet backstory, glad to see how their team was formed. Loli Sazanka was adorable. Team boar members are sure dumb thou. |
 |
| Yap, Asagao was right. Team Boar is Dumb af lol Cute backstory for Sazanka. So that's why she called Tsubaki One-sama. |
 |
| Yeah, Team Boar sure are stupid, and that stupidity of theirs probably makes them more dangerous than they otherwise would be. A nice bit of backstory for Sazanka as well to round off probably one of the better episodes so far. |
| It's hard to believe this series somehow had some of the better action choreography for this season, especially when it's teasing that it might do another one of those scenes, and then decides to just futz off. Literally. Team Pig, the BMOCs, roll into town, get into a fight over a backhanded compliment because just the word "stupid" sets them off, then they go wandering off into a swamp because they are indeed stupid. We have enough of the idiots in this show already. If you want to add more, at least make them do something. Showing up and then wandering off again ain't it. The second half was the screamy purple one's sad backstory about how she was antisocial and a bully, but Tsubaki won her over by carrying her around. The main takeaway here is that the character designs look absolutely nightmarish as even younger. I get the struggle. You're already drawing elongated five year olds and saying that they're preteens. Now we're just de-longating them, which leaves ginormous heads and foreheads you could land a helicopter on, slapped onto matchstick bodies that cannot possibly support their own weight. These are not human children. These are the things that make chittering noises as they rush out of a cornfield to strip your flesh under a blood moon. |
| The Team Boar focused first half was great, they’re a wholesome bunch unless you call them stupid, then death awaits lol. I thought we were about to see a serious fight but they actually ended up getting lost after all lol. The Sazanka and Tsubaki backstory was very nice as well, seeing all the girls as lolis/miniature versions of themselves was cute, and having better context behind Tsubaki and Sazanka’s sister relationship is good to have finally, loved that Tsubaki smile at the end. And lol, so Team Boar ended up together by default because they couldn’t find their way up the mountain, guess it was meant to be. Also loved their ED. |
| It's ironic that the best word to describe Team Boar is the one word they hate the most! XD Still, they did provide some good entertainment when they chased after Asagao when she uttered the word "stupid" around them. There's no denying how physically strong they are but their sense of direction is their biggest weakness. Despite accepting Tsubaki's proposal for a duel, Team Boar predictably got lost in trying to find the clearing. The girls are definitely one of the most amusing teams we've seen so far. The second half of the episode was great. We got a backstory focused on Sazanka and how she became so attached to Tsubaki. First off, everyone looks adorable since this backstory was a few years ago, hence why everyone are younger looking. More importantly, Sazanka was a bit of a loner, who didn't get along with anyone and had a tough shell around her. It was when Hana-sensei decided that everyone would be placed into teams and while Tsubaki interrupted her own little race to help out some girls after falling into Sazanka's traps, Tsubaki decided to try and find Sazanka. After slipping down the mountain and crash-landed at the bottom, she ironically found Sazanka all to herself. I agree with @Sigmar-Unberogen, the production values here with Tsubaki trying to talk with Sazanka looked REALLY beautiful. Thanks to Tsubaki's persistence, she got Sazanka and carried her since she sprained her ankle, but so did Tsubaki herself. Thanks to loli Asagao, she carried the two of them to the meeting point at the top of the mountain and due to the village's customs, they became a team. The backstory also revealed the main reason why Sazanka calls Tsubaki "nee-sama", since their names stem from the same family of flowers. To top it all off, Tsubaki gave off a beautiful smile to Sazanka, who cutely smiled in return. =3 The post-credit scene was amusing, too, since Team Boar became a team by default due to their useless sense of direction. Nice ED song from the team as well. |
| We got Team Boar's introduction and their main weakness and immediately got a punchline involving this weakness in the post-ED scene, I truly lost it there |
| Zoro would fit in right with boar team lmao. The second half was cute as well. |
   |
| WOW... Team Boar sure are stup-*Smacked by Log* ___ ___ ___ So... apparently Sazanka was a loner, but was saved by Tsubaki's kindness and become more friendly. (especially when Tsubaki accidentally hurt herself while carrying Sazanka... but still continued on as if nothing happen to not make Sazanka worry, a true Nee-sama) (also, looks like they start out training as Ninja even younger than we thought... they look like age 9 or 10 in the backstory) |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| I'll never ever understand how someone could have that terrible sense of direction, and it's not only this series, have seen this exaggeration being used to death at several other places too. Though still a fun trio those three. And yes no surprises why Sazanka values Tsubaki so much. |
 |
| Another good episode. Team Boar is so stupid they didn't realize that stupid-strong is a compliment! Haha! Seeing the back story of Tsubaki and Sazanka was nice as well. Sazanka may not have many friends but once befriended she's the type to have your back, but don't decieve her. |
| They sure were freaking adorable when they were smoll. Interesting to see how the teams were formed, I like the fact that Team Boar was formed because they all lost their way. |
 |
| The boar team, an interesting team xD. And so that's how Tsubaki's group was formed, curious. Good chapter. Great this version of the ending. |
| cute backstory :3 loli lolis |
