Draluc as a kid! Lol, I know this anime has some weird gimmicks going on sometimes but this one took the cake. 

At some points, this episode felt like a meme and the reactions were priceless. Kid Draluc still reminds me of the adult version though. Mira (Draluc's mom) also has a rather interesting vampire ability.

The Hunter Guild's guildmaster Gosetsu leaving things to his daugher Koyuki, and the Yakyuken comes back to haunt the others, though he sure didn't expect Koyuki to be this strong to resist him. Be it physically or through food, he is unabatedly losing his ground on a loop of hellish food, then to help Koyuki cook something out...only to appease to her whims while finding an opening to play strip rock-paper-scissors. Winning against a bug and showing the middle finger, Yakyuken's such a ride to lose bare naked to Koyuki.

Draluc when he was a kid, it's a nostalgic dream...but he did turn into a kid. Of course, Ronaldo not sensing that he's the same adult Draluc in a child's body, he gets his chance to trick him as much as possible. Hinaichi comes in at the opportune time to praise Draluc, but it ended up being the same as Ronaldo. But just one sneeze, and he turns back to his adult self, and his mother Mira appearing to turn him back into a kid with his memories somehow gone.

With Draluc gone, his father Draus comes to explain the situation, and beats upon himself of not understanding wy his wife would take their son away. Regardless, the search is on, and both mother and son are having a night picnic in a field of sunflowers, said vampire turned back to normal only to be met with disappointment of his workaholic mother working hard as a lawyer. Despite all of the misforgivings, Draluc's family is a close-knit one, with their son having finally spread his wings to the outside world.

The funniest episode, and the most emotional one so far.

This episode started off quite funny with the strip rock paper scissors vampire but for heartfelt with Draluc mom. The beginning with just the strip rock paper scissors vampire and the guild leader's daughter at the hunters bar we've seen many times was fun. I like how this series takes what could be assumed to be one off villains and brings them back for more antics. It helps us the audience grow more attached as to not feel so bummed by a constant new vampire we have to learn about. The guild leaders daughter did a good job inadvertently subduing the strip rock paper scissors vampire. Feeding him that gross food then literally beating him at his own game. Maybe she should become a hunter too.

The rest of the episode with Draluc mom got me teary eyed. Beginning with him being randomly transformed into a kid vampire was funny since he pretended to be Draluc little brother to get praise from Ronaldo and Hinaichi. They totally bought it until his mom Mira actually showed up. Having not meet her before this episode it was interesting to see why she suddenly appeared. Wanting to make up for the lost time she spent his youth working so much. It was a heartwarming display seeing little Draluc with his mom on the picnic but of course we knew it couldn't last. Draluc isn't a little kid anymore and the past can't be redone. So all his mom can do is spend more time with her son going forward not back. I'm glad she saw how happy Draluc is now with his life and friends.

John as Gin 😂 A fucking Conan reference wasn't what I excepted to see. Neither did I expect those feels.

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

Another great episode with the feels. It was a lot like the John origin episode that closed out season 1. It's weird that Draluc's mom still looked so young tho. I know anime often doesn't age the women and prefers to keep them attractive, but she had the exact same face as when Draluc was a kid centuries ago. Maybe she has a permanent baby face like I do, but it distracted from the story.

After the hilarious second episode, I barely managed a smile in this episode. Seems about right for this show. Probably the most hit or miss comedy I've ever seen. 

And again, it's back to hilarity with todays episode. Incredible peaks and troughs.

I found myself laughing so much in this one, mainly the first two bits with Koyuki and the Yakyuken vampire guy and the young Draluc bit. Koyuki and her cooking paired with the Yakyuken vampire’s reactions were so good, the flu virus one especially got me lol, and even after he got her to play his game he ended up losing to her, this was a good pairing I’d like to see again. And Draluc using his kid form to his advantage and it backfiring was great too, also liked the game references like FNAF and Undertale lol.

And then came the more wholesome bit at the end with Draluc’s mom, Mira. She’s a great milf too lol, but I’m glad she came to realize the error of her ways at the end and we got a touching moment between her and Draluc, and really it’s not too late for them to spend time together which makes me hope we see Mira again!

Hmm, I wonder what fried whole something tastes like?


Pretty wholesome for the episode's second half ngl, though slightly undercut by cuts in the tension and the father referring to Ronaldo as Paul McCartney. Wonder if he ever got around to seeing his pole dancing abilities?

first one was pretty predictable but the 2nd part was a huge highlight, im glad the series was also willing to be sincere for just a little bit.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

seeing the second part made me think about my relationship with my parents, so it was hard not to get watery eyes throughout it; overall I really enjoyed this episode and it’s probably my favorite in the series besides the John backstory one from last season

The random english and the fried Kiss were the best part of the first segment.

I will always love a good Detective Conan reference/joke, John holding the bottle of fake tears for Draluc Dral-two was cute, the duck onesie part was hilarious, great to see Draluc's mom and such a heartwarming moment at the end.
