We got back to back episodes this week (next week is on break)
https://x.com/the_fable_anime/status/1827374132172132627

This episode just goes to prove that Youko is still awesome in this show and should never be underestimated.

Seriously, they put a huge target on Akira in this episode as The Fable. Seems this anime is reaching its big climax soon. Akira had his hands full big time.

OH YEAH THAT'S WHAT YO ASS GETS FOR UNDERESTIMATING MY QUEEN YOUKO. Six seconds. SIX FUCKING SECONDS AND DUDE WAS ON THE GROUND.... Only my queen could do something like that. I am kidna sad and happy at the same time to know that Mr. Pervert is finally gone after so long, but the death did feel kinda anticlimactic. Would've much rathered Akira or someone else kill him and not a fucking cliff of all things.

Then we got ponytail dude over here being disappointed about the fact Akira ain't kill him, and Akira over here being disappointed over the fact that Mr. Pervert died.. xD Glad that we're somewhat back to normal, with Akira watching some Jackal while being naked again. Has been a minute hasn't it lol. Detective chumps are really on the move now, and Hina's is being involved... sigh. These dudes just want to die to Akira at this point, don't they.

ICYMI: There will be no broadcast next week due to Nippon TV's "24-Hour Television / Love Saves the Earth" telethon.

ponytail bro got done in and still wants more, they might be smart,have the material and try putting pressure with Hina but frankly i doubt it will make Fable even stress one bit, they're considered legendary for a reason and trying to go against them is reaaaaaaally stupid, well i still wonder how things will turn out, maybe i'm underestimating them but i doubt it.

I know Yoko is gonna win but I totally didn't expect her to win through physical strength, I though she has traps or mental game or something. This woman totally exceeds my expectation, and Fable claim he's 100 times better than her!

Rest in piss, Hentai-kun. Your entire run on this show was: perv on Misaki, job out to Fable, get dwarfed by the other villains. With all of his stalking and his desire to rape Misaki, he was obviously this extremely depraved guy, but he ended up as a complete fodder character who did not even register next to the Kojimas and the Utsubos of this world. He was a loser to the end, and it was all society's fault, probably.

Things are heating up now that Utsubo and Dio are aware that Akira is Fable. Their plot to use Hinako also means that for once, Misaki doesn't have to be the damsel in distress. The Octopus boss is pretty cool after all, and more Jackal is always a treat.

Yoko kicked ass even more in this ep. lol Kind of unexpected since for a moment I was getting the impressiion she was going to get him drunk and taunt him like she does with her other prey xD

Kainuma just dropping off a cliff is an anticlimactic end for him. Before he tried to kill Misaki I was hoping he would have had a change of heart being on the other side of things since that would be interesting but then it became more clear he was far gone and just wound up a scapegoat character used to introduce other characters and plots.

That was good advice Akira gave Hinako. You actually can even build muscle by visualizing even, there has been some studies on it.

Yoko completely turning the situation around to threatening Suzuki, she completely annihilated him in 6 seconds flat while making sure that her hot pot isn't overcooked. Though Akira comes back on the assumption, he's still clear of the threat in his place, though Isaki's report that he died while falling off a cliff, Akira is clearly done with his business with Suzuki, no words questioned, even if the latter feels that he could come after his life again in the future.

Jackal is back after quite the while, though Akira's priority is with Hinako, and also using the comedic character as a surface unknowingly to hide the real message being heard by Utsubo. Suzuki coming back to Utsubo for his report, thinking that Yoko is also Fable as well, but the feel that he's just being used for his gain with his pride all torn down, the latter also wants revenge against Fable to avenge his brother Kawahira, making it a seamless plan just between the two alone.

Hinako's premonition of Akira being killed is only a cop in Suzuki and Utsubo's plan to kill him, alongside Misaki. They're really in for the kill now...

Still surprised how under appreciated this anime is, really hope they do another two seasons since that would be enough to adapt the rest of the manga(which is completed) from what ive heard. Regardless of if they do or dont ill be checking out the manga as well, one of the better yakuza/japanese crime series ive found. This show is an 8/10 for me so far

who woulda thought youko would have been the one to low diff suzuki? That was insane, I can't believe I thought he would have given Satou a challenge...silly me. Anyways now the jig is up, that fraud group knows the identity of fable now, and the final showdown for the arc is coming up. I believe the sato siblings anticipated this and is already prepared for whatever the frauds can throw at them. I believe they will even anticipate using hina as bait.

Whatever happens, we're in for a treat

I know that the production level is very much mediocre, but I was hoping a kind of Snyder's slow-mo action for Yoko's knock-out scene like what was in the manga

despite the low budget animation quality of this show the actual plot is too good for me not to give this show an 8, I haven't been this interested in a show in a minute; I know Hina will most likely be saved by Sato but it still sucks knowing she is going to have to go through some shit before that, I can't wait to see the next episode

yhm.. that wasn't so good.. pervert died, Sato should not let him go, also I think he was too confident.. like that bad dream Hina had would be easy to do now.. just sniper rifle and Sato is gone..
anyway Jackal finally was funny this time for the first time ;d "even with hands"

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

@SoulReaper85 Theres basically no shows like this made anymore, I just dont care about mediocre animation/art or toned down aspects if the majority of it is still good. I’ll just read the manga anyway. I was fine with the recent Berserk adaptations too, as theres just nothing else like that being produced so i take what i can get… This shows quality isnt so bad that it takes much away from it unlike with the recent berserk anime(but i have read berserk and not fable so that might be why i say that). Theres plenty of lower budget productions i enjoy more than big budget fap fests. Unfortunately we just arent going to get big budget adaptations of niche seinen manga anymore, except maybe very rare occasions … Especially with how Japan has been increasingly pushing studios to tone down violence and nudity. The only big budget seinen adaptations are actually just edgy shounen type series with more blood, or have fan service aimed at creeps.

Well, there goes another hitman who talks big but can't even reach Fable's heels in terms of skills. Seriously, Dio got humbled in such a way.

Another cool episode. My girl Youko kicked ass and surprisingly Misaki won't be playing the "damsel in distress" role for once! 💪👍👏🙌🙏

letting that brudda leave like is nothing only highlights the difference between a hitman and a pro hitman. but the only way to get sato is to get something that's close to him and cos misaki is out of the picture the only alternative is hina. well alongside yoko showed us that she isn't no pushover as well

Hitman's ego destroyed in a thousand pieces.

@Fintan Spot on word for word. So few of these kinds of shows get made anymore that we need to take what we can get. MAL as a community has an animation fetish anyway. Big budget smooth animation and they call it a masterpiece even if the story and characters suck. And the opposite is true as well.

Pro veteran hit man for over 20 years dude just got no diff'd by Yoko in under 6 seconds, then tied to a chair while she drank waiting for her brother to come back. Then after that they gave everything back to him and even asked if he wanted hot pot lol. Bro thought he was a master this whole time but really was just a noob. Still at least he's recognized as a pro by Sato since he's killed before unlike Yoko who hasn't.

@Fintan fanservice is good
Edgy shounen are not seinen Adaptations
Just because you accept slop quality doesn't mean everyone else should
Other seinens do get quality Adaptations
