I liked how Danpei was taking advantage of his boredom even if he maybe didn't do it on purpose. But damn, Joe is really hard to handle and got somehow sent to the detention center. I wonder if he'll really find buddies there like he seems to think.

The fact that he wants to go to prison makes me wonder what goes on in Joe's head o.O

Bwahah Danpei knowing his boredom would force him into the training. I feel sorry for Danpei, even though in reality he's using Joe. I wish they'd just join forces already and use each other for their own goals.

Then somewhere down the line they stop using each other and become great friends/ have a great coach-athlete relationship.

Joe is hilarious, he's really rough but he's full of personality and easy to root for. Danpei is good for him b/c they're cut from the same cloth; Joe really needs a strong and tough mentor like him who can handle him. Danpei could really turn him into a great man. Watching how he develops will be fun

Joe is such a joy to watch, gr8 episode. His laugh at the end when he got sent to prison was awesome LOL. This guy doesn't give a flying fuck about what happens to himself, poor Danpei and the kids tho ;-;

Joe likes to play the tough guy, but lol taking advantage of his boredom. That's a nice quotable.

Joe's personality really suck, the kids sent him that cake and he just stepped on it.
I feel bad about Danpei too.

The dude definitely has issues with adults. Particularly ones like that woman, who he feels is just issuing the children she helps to advance her status. Which is looking to be true, imo. Even Danpei is using him too, though.

The classic "punish for the person who comitted and not for what was comitted". We know history teached us how bad this is and what it can lead to.

Joe is probably one of the most "unlikeable" MCs I've seen so far, but that's what making this show so enjoyable.

I wonder what caused him to get like that, tho.

The questions part felt so wrong, wow.

He says that now that he goes to prison he will be with people like him, I have the feel that he's really going to regret that when he faces really terrible people and not someone who acts like he's the boss like him.

I’m glad Joe is going to prison.
Danpei, the kids & rich girl go out of their way to help this prick and yet he doesn’t do himself any favours.

I hope Joe’s drop the tough guy act soon and learns boxing from Danpei’s postcards for the sake of tomorrow

Havent disliked a character this much in a long ass time. Joe is so unlikeable. If this is anything like the live action I really hope he gets his ass handed to him by Rikiishi.

Joe got some serious trust issues, he doesn't think anyone can be good without some sort of selfish intention it seems. That's why he rejects all kindness.

Joe is growing on me. I like these kinds of characters. The series is not as good as it was hyped up to be, but I still like every character, especially Joe.

Oh my god, Joe is so arrogant, his arrogance has no limit. I can't goddamn wait for boxing to finally start, I'm craving for some fighting. Prison though, that's trouble, not surprised whatsoever, Joe brought it on himself.

@Optigisa Pretty sure it will get many many times more interesting once boxing starts, I suggest continuing.

He still has not learned, even after getting beat by Danpei. And now he's sent to prison

How insanely cute it is when, after being edgy all the time with the psychologist, when he says "kindness" he immediately thinks to Dampei (although he immediately bash him, but that's just Joe)

This is a great episode. Pretty psychological. When people said Joe's an asshole. I did not expect Joe to be THE ASSHOLE. Still a weirdly likeable character.

Also nice Nocturnes, Op. 9: No. 2 in E-flat major input.

Oh man... I wanted to punch Joe myself by how cocky he was acting. He really deserved another beating.

But well. This will be some great character development right here.

Thought there was going to be a breakthrough, but no, Joe deserves jail.
What if we watched Evangelion in the sewer...?
