| With time desperately running out, at least Tetsuo does still have more allies in this show to help him. But still, this episode was a stressful one from his point of view. I'm just impressed how he's able to keep it together mentally. Looks like he had a plan too. The amount of human emotions they poured into this episode is actually quite impressive imo. |
 |
| Kyoichi's betrayal of the organization got him into even deeper shit, as Kubo comes to his aid, fixes him and tortures him. And Tetsuo is not spared from this situation whatsoever, with one more scapegoat made-up situation to ensure that he does not run away. At this point, his wife Kasen already knew how much deep shit her husband is in and prepares sacrifically towards whatever he has in store. In this case, it's recruiting Bin Tabata, which he, together with the now married couple, were in their school's previous Drama Club 21 years ago. Leaving his wife to deal with him, they prepare to fabricate Nobuto being dead through Tabata as a stand-in, though to convince him would take Kasen's ordeal towards Tetsuo, and she MUST convince him somehow in order not to lead him towards the organization. That, and with their wedding 2 years later and giving birth to Reika, this is her form of happiness, willingly faked to make sure that the process goes smoothly, cutting the bullcrap in the midst. With 3 days left to go, Hibiki aiding him, Tetsuo must act fast woth the organization eyeing him very carefully now, and leading one of Kubo's henchmen towards knowing Nobuto's pet name. But alas, it may not be a pet, but something or someone of note. Which Tetsuo finds a bar in Shinjuku, and the glasses dude Matori Yoshitatsu keeps his tabs on him, still in the dissonance of his own son Nobuto's death while he tries to shake him off. Of course, Tetsuo can sympathize with Yoshitatsu, and likewise with Tetsuo using a fake name to cover his identity. But too bad, Tetsuo realized too late, and so does Yoshitatsu's suspicion grows. The confrontation between parents, it's another area that's still connected with the overall plot. |

| Never knew that gangsters these days can be so modern with their blackmail techniques. Wow never thought the story would take us down memory lane though. Looks like their courtship wasn't an easy one either in account of Kasen's parents. Still Tetsuo really has some nerve getting the lookout to give him a ride. It was about time that he met the father though and that scene at the bar was done really well. |

AnimeSrk said: The episode was slow paced and was building up for the main reveal i.e., tetsuo got to meet Nobuto's father and now it's starting to get more interesting. They cut some important detail in this episode. Afterwards, I would be surprised if they did the second arc with the details that they forgot to mention why it revolved around his daughter. |
| I feel bad about Tabata. Imagine being friends with someone and they involve you in a crime 20 years later without you even knowing. But I can't really blame Tetsuo and Kasen cause they don't really have any other choice. That ending was insane. Nobuto's father is going through the same type of stress Tetsuo is going through I imagine. No, it's probably far worse. And his way of dealing with this stress is a lot more extreme. The show just became a lot more interesting now. After the last episode's ending, I thought it'd get more boring and formulaic but I'm happy to be wrong. |
| Thought for a second Nobuto's father was going to kill Tetsuo there. |
| The way my jaw dropped to the floor when we found out that was Nobuto dad. Damnnnn. As if it wasn’t hard enough just dealing with the mafia now we’ve gotta deal with the distraught dad. Nobuto’s dad already on to the fact that Tetsuo is lying and he was really out for blood. Can’t wait to see how this plays out Loved the flashback with how Kase and Tetsuo got together too. If tetsuo used to be in drama club and wrote, it makes sense why he’s able to fabricate so many lies on the spot. Kinda feel like Tabata had a thing for Kase too with how he tried dirtymacking in the car lol |

| You could guess it from a mile away that this was Nobuto's. When he was starting to talk about his son and what he would do if something happened to him it became way too obvious, like you just need to put 2+2 together. The show is fine yet lacks finesse to be great. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| How did the guy know Tetsuo was using a fake name? |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| The bar scene was intense, you could really feel the despair coming from Nobuto's father. Tetsuo using Tabata's name as an alias might come back to bite him (Tabata) in the ass. Nobuto's father seemed to have enough intuition to see through Tetsuo's lie, so if Tabata ends up getting caught up in this and possibly killed, well GG lol. Imagine something like that happens to you after not seeing some old friends for 2 decades 😭 FMmatron said: You could guess it from a mile away that this was Nobuto's.

| well, feels like Tabata is a dead man walking, poor guy doesn't even know what they got him tied into |
 |
| An uncomfortable episode to watch. Nobuto's father actually looks like an interesting character. It's unnerving, and we are supposed to sympathise with Tetsuo, but at the same time, Nobuto was killed, and it is a fact. Just because he was a dickhead doesn't mean there wouldn't be people in grief about him. There is a definite parallel over father/child dynamic and willingness to do everything to protect their family. |

| I feel bad for Tetsuo man. He got used for another blackmail opportunity by the mafia organization. First the nudes and now a confession of murder announcement video. It would look extremely bad if those contents get leaked to the public. Tetsuo's career and reputation would be over. In addition, he could potentially get killed by the mafia when they're done using him. But Tetsuo is quick on his feet and comes up with a plan to fabricate the evidence of Nabuto's death. Kasen being the waifu that she is, goes along with his plan and film with Tabata. The amount of stress and pressure that Tetsuo has to go through is insane. This man can think well under press and is quick decision maker. One wrong move could cost him and family's lives. That bar scene with Nobuto's father was quite intense. I love how both of them gave each other fake names when they introduce. |
 |
| Good, albeit somewhat slow, episode. I knew that was Nobuto's father right away since they had previously introduced him but too bad Tetsuo didn't realize that until the bartender told him that. Tabata may very well become a target now but hopefully not as there could be dozens if not hundreds of Tabata family names in a large city. I like how Kasen backs up her husband and continues to help him in the mess that he's in although she could still be a target even if they killed Tetsuo since Nobuto's father is out to kill the entire family once he finds out who killed his son. Looking foward to what happens next and I'm guessing it will involve both fathers. |
| a young tetsuo and kasen with tabata as well. the goat, miki shinichiro is in the house. |
 |
| I'm liking this show more and more with each episode I don't really get the outcry about the animation... Like yeah, it's not amazing at all but it's not Ex-Arm/Gibiate level either lol (plus it doesn't need to be amazing since it's not focused on action). Reika is still annoying. Like why would you answer the question about Nobuto's pet like that? She always treats her dad like crap. I'm really hoping for a development on her part. |
 |
| How does he end up getting filmed in more and more compromising situations? Also ... is he going to be responsible for getting his friend the Viceo guy killed? |
 |
| To be clear, is Nabuto Father the same guy from ep.1/2 with the multiple personality disorder? |
| Having full conversation with Nobuto father... Damn that was intense. |
 |
this legit got a giggle out of me. old man peace sign next to a dead body LMAOOOOO  The peace sign is anime-original content. In Ch. 17 of the manga, the syndicate had Tetsuo dismantle and dispose of the body with a chainsaw. Even if he didn't kill the guy, improperly disposing a corpse is still illegal. This was NOT featured in the anime. It was too scary, I guess?  |

| What a miraculous turn of events that Tetsuo had come face to face with Nobuto's father Matori Yoshitatsu. Both men seem to have a lot in common as they would do anything to protect their only child including murder. The syndicate continues to blackmail Tetsuo for murder he didn't do even though he already killed Nobuto. I also feel bad for Tabata as he might get dragged into this after helping Kasen fabricate Nobuto's death. |
 |
| honestly, this episode was really good??? I haven't read the manga but I don't see why the score isn't higher?? |

Haunt-bot said: Nobuto's dad used a fake name too. He's a pro when it comes to reading body language and saw Tetsuo was suspiciously nervous. The two exchanged a lot of personal info, an entire chapter was dedicated to it in the manga. From their talk Tetsuo realized that the description of the dude's boy was awfully similar to Nobuto. In manga Tetsuo was actually the first who asked the guy for his name (he knows the name/surname of Nobuto's dad and wanted to be certain) - Nobuto's dad lied. Tetsuo gave fake name afterwards as well. The rest of the anime was like the source. Bartender confirmed the guy was Nobuto's dad.How did the guy know Tetsuo was using a fake name? |
| Oooft getting blackmailed to be framed for a death he wasn't behind while having actually killed someone else is amusing. The instant he started talking about children i totally knew that was Nobuto's dad and surprised Tetsuo didn't figure out that was at least a possibility. Lost opportunity to talk about a family pet even if it was a long shot. Haunt-bot said: How did the guy know Tetsuo was using a fake name? At first I thought it was a fake sounding name but i checked and it's a real surname and uncommon so it actually was a decent choice but I think it was his hesitation and sort of stuttering it out. erikkamirs said: this legit got a giggle out of me. old man peace sign next to a dead body LMAOOOOO The peace sign is anime-original content.

This was NOT featured in the anime. It was too scary, I guess? Whew that would be intense to have to do ... but I think it has to do with censorship and time constraints. The original way more sense since his delivery of those lines wouldnt convince anyone he wasnt reading from a cue card under duress. |

| This show is wack. Like, turbo wack. It's like every crime thriller trope mushed into a blob of... whatever it is. |
 |
| A very uncomfortable episode to watch, not because it wasn't good but precisely because it managed to give me a lot of uneasy feelings and anxiety, I often paused while watching and even my stomach felt bad. I was only getting more worried watching this because I didn't know what would happen if Tetsuo or his wife made a single wrong move. I was uncomfortable while watching this but I kept watching it every week :'D |
