Lol that boxing punch. This anime can be so random.

Oh and the Kaiji reference. Came out of nowhere but funny as heck. I hope this anime throws more references just for the laughs.

As a melonpan lover, I really want to try that legendary melonpan.
There were a lot of references from this episode. Paripi Koumei, E.T., Kaiji, and Kindaichi.

The girls finding themselves right at an unknown place after the karaoke box, and there're 1001 reason as to why this could happen. Rikka's Ashita no Joe reference aside, it's Sekine's psychic powers going out of control, and her director dropping in to have a cure on her while sending the 3 other girls on their way.

Rikka being the only person to remember Sekine, and theories such as the case of Paripi Koumei could be causes. And as said girl went through solitary confinement, the realization that life in there is much better than life outside, those 3 can live amongst each other in typical life. The alien Rikka passing to her an encouragement card with the well-wishes of both Chiyo and Tsubasa, but forget that! Sekine's director sure has a loli fetish for power on money and all, and the escape went unscathed. Rikka's secret as an alien, exposed or not, Sekine appreciates it as a whole, and the memories of her are reinstated.

The Kaiji references are too good, thanks to Brian-sensei with the highly-prized melonpan. But while both Tsubasa and Sekine look out of place with the Kaiji design, their VAs capture the basic essence. Tsubasa going on step further with the Detective Conan reference, that completes the mark.

If this show can be THIS unhinged, then it's worth the watch.

Ippo, JoJo, Kaiji etc. this episode was crazy xD Kongming made it big to be referenced alongside these legendary works.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

They also referenced Code geass and a few Hollywood movies.

Poor Sekines chef, he just wanted to stabilize his income to get married )))

Sekine is probably my favourite out of the cast, so it's been nice getting to know more about her circumstances. I spent way too much laughing at all the references – especially Paripi Koumei and JoJo caught me off-guard. Funniest episode so far!

This anime can be so random but kinda entertaining as well.

lmao that final showdown with rock paper scissors was amazing, just to win an melon bread.

it seems like they almost knew about Sekines powers but they got teleported away, until Tsubasa and Chiyo forgot who Sekine was. Rikka coming to save Sekine but the doctor calling Rikka an alien, I mean Sekine already knew that. Rikka giving back Tsubasa and Chiyo's memories, all ended on a good note.

Prison lab seems a good enough for people like Sekine. But yea, a freedom must be better so its nice having Rikka got that unexpected initiative. But bruh dat Kongming reference was just too obvious after the spring season lately xd

And Rikka ringtone too, sir yessir xd

I like how even if Rikka could'nt understand it at first, but still hold a good understanding about a true friendship. Or shall i say, a good loyalty, i guess. But, its still did good, so yeah xd.

Melon pan fight, its been a long time not seeing dat on anime. Tsuyoshi won because Sekine ability isnt effective there. Rikka once again doing weird shit and no one bats an eye to it is my great highlight over the last sequence...

Alright then, next!

Okay, references to Ippo, Kongming, Jojo's, Kaiji, ET, Director-san doing Instant Transmission and the Michael Jackson step.

Forget what I said when this show started, it is secretly great.

Bruh, of all the references, I never would've thought we'd get a Paripi Koumei reference here lmao, that's an immaculate W. This episode as a whole went ham with the references though. "Nigerundayo, Smokey!" Though I haven't watched Hajime no Ippo nor Kaiji, you can easily recognize them.

We got sweet Sekine & Chiyo and Sekine & Rikka moments now. Looks like ninja boy will be significant next episode, looking forward to it.

Of course they couldn't remove Sekine from the show, they would have to change the title otherwise.
They really went at it with the references, especially the long Kaiji's one, that surprised me

Finalmente o Doutor apareceu agora só falta e eu pensava q ele havia tinha capturado elas mas era só culpa da Rikka msm (ainda bem...), agora com isso vimos q elas são inseparaveis e no próximo episódio teremos foco na Chiyo e no caçador dela (não sabia q o nome dele era Hanzo...), mas esse episódio foi bem emotivo, o q foi bom, já q vimos um outro lado da Sekine.

Nesse episódio tbm tivemos algumas referencias interressantes... E será q o poder de Telepatia da Sekine tbm vai evoluir??? Seria interressante tbm.

Really beautiful episode, definitely lived up to potential stakes in a really surprisingly emotional, nice episode that fit the characters' friendships with each other and narrative so far. Really high grade stuff! Episode was also very funny, too, like every episode of the show, the characters' story beats were a huge bonus. So yeah, while it was the most emotional episode it was still also super funny!


Fitting art style for the card RPS scene, hahaha.

Right? These episodes are definitely the charm of checking out the random, less discussed anime. Hopefully I'll be able to recommend to some people!
