Probably the best episode of the lot, up to yet. It was great to watch because, unlike in every other episode in the series, Kyosuke was direct - and it revealed just how easily Madoka would crumble if he acted more like a man. When push comes to shove, her toughness and caring for Hikaru can't stand up against her love for Mr. Spineless. She was extremely cute when she didn't know how to react to Kyosuke's advances; constantly blushing and running away. I WANT TO SEE MORE OF HER DEFENSELESS, WEAKER SIDE!!!

I know the series would be over in a couple of episodes if more were like this, but it'd be great, at the very least, to see more quality KyosukexMadoka scenes in the next few episodes. There have been some terrific episodes of late, and I can but hope Hikaru doesn't continue annoying the fuck out of me 24/7 with her "Darling!" bullshit.

Best Episode Ever^^

Not was it funny how direct Kyouske was, it was refreshing not being frustatet about how indecisive he was.
Also weak Madoka was cute^^

Lol this Kyousuke was hilarious. It's almost like Madoka's role and Kyousukes role have been reversed.

Best episode so far it was wonderful seeing Kasuga act assertive for once.

Hopefully this ep will mark a improvement in the quality of the show.

So, Kyosuke hypnotized himself into being assertive. While Madoka was certainly interested in seeing Kyosuke this way, I think it also scared her a bit. In the end, Madoka would seem to like Kyosuke just being normal, old indecisive Kyosuke.

Slayer Kyousuke, should be like this the entire time, maybe a bit less cocky and try-hard, tho.

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

A sudden 180 for Kasuga. Not a big fan of these changes.

A very interesting episode indeed. This reflected very well how someone with superpowers could become extremely popular if he showed off. I bet that most of us would do the same if we had those powers. This is absolutely the ultimate teenage boy dream.

This episode also suggests that Madoka too may be weakened and subdued.No matter how much she tries to make her feel tough. One of the best episode in entire series.

Crossed the halfway point of the series and didn't even realize it.
Thankfully it seems the quality is only increasing. Hopefully mid-10 episodes were a one-time thing.

That "Darling no Baka!" gave me Urusei Yatsura flashbacks.

Lol Kyosuke hypnotized himself and turned into a stud. It's very cool to see him without his usual flaws and also some new flaws. Probably one of the best episodes in the series and probably the 2nd episode where I had a stupid grin on my face the whole way through.

Looks like Kyosuke will finally turn himself into a shota in the next episode. But first I'll probably check out the OVAs with his cousin Akane.

Not really impressed with the way Kousuke being suddenly assertive with the excuse of being self hypnotized. I'm pretty sure hypnotize is not included in his set of powers just like mind reading. The show actually have a good potential for pulling out tricks by using the powers that could creating gags instead of boring sol.What's the point of introducing such powers then not showing them that much just because of their father say so. At least much better than previous episodes.

I prefer the hypnotised but decisive Kasuga. Too bad he overdid it.

What happened to Ayukawa's bite? The Ayuakawa of the first dozen episodes wouldn't have put up with Kyousuke's BS, especially after he made Hikaru cry. When he was alone in the classroom asking her to the disco old Ayukawa would've punched his lights out to knock some sense back into him. Yet this one shyly agrees then goes dressed up as a Disney princess in pink. I don't know when this change happened or what caused it but where did the cigarette smoking girl who single-handedly fights off gangs of thugs disappear to? I'm thinking back and it's like all of a sudden the character did a full 180 in personality and I blinked and missed it.

I had started to lose faith in this series, but these last two episodes were truly excellent! Having watched Maison Ikkoku recently, I can't help but compare the protagonists - and be annoyed by their constant indecisiveness and their overall passive attitude (it only took... 90 plus episodes in Maison Ikkoku for Godai to make a choice). So it was refreshing to see Kyosuke abandon his usual self, for once.
