Oh, this episode is so much fun! While I had already liked the animation of this show, it was with Suo's fight that I fell completely in love. I mean, that was so clean and fluid. Love it. Suo truyl is one of a kind xD Something I really like about his character, and that might feed into the whole idea that he is a "gentleman" is that he uses martial arts to fight; more controlled and refined than the normal street fighting style that the rest of the characters seem to have, well-honed but more about strength than the precision of movement that martial arts tends to prefer. Of course, I don't quite follow the idea that Suo is a gentleman, either, as he seems a bit sadistic, lol, but using martial arts fits his character really well. Nirei wanting to learn how to protect, not fight for the sake of fighting, but protect is so sweet. And, of course, it triggers Sakura's tsundere side and has him blushing.

"Same" is actually the Japanese word for shark! Jury's still out if it's an intentional bilingual pun or not, though.

Loved the reaction and discussion! Another fun and full episode. Thank you for the effort to feature both Suo and Sugi in the thumbnail! 🥰 Various things I loved: Sugi just not having it with Sakura 😆, I cannot get enough of their dynamic. And his little smile when getting praised by Ume! Poor Nirei having a very Stressful Day 😆 Suo just dancing with Kanuma. Beautifully choreographed but also so funny! At one point he literally just holds his hand as Kanuma falls over and then helps him back up just to throw him. 🤣 And yes, really love Suo presenting ‘imagination’ not as an entirely childish quality but something that’s necessary for true empathy, loved the discussion around that. I would love to visit a cinema which showed shark movies exclusively, I'd buy cute shark merch. 😆 Cannot wait for next week! 🌸

Animation in this series is so good - anytime it need to deliever it delievers. Suos fight looks amazing not only because its so fluid, but because the timing and pace fully shows Suo's movements and style of fighting. Thats so cool. I love how perceptive Umemiya is, like he looks at Choji and Togame and sees Togame's tough face. He is the only one of furin's crew that seems to be interested in checking on their mood and its changes. I like how Suo actually wants Kanuma to realize some things about life and explain how empathy should work so he could learn to be a better person but also. Was a little bit sadistically insane asshole about it. And Sakura "what should I do for him to fight me seriosly hmmmmm" lmao Just like Furin's boys have plants in their names, Shishitoren boy's have animals in their names (Kame in Togame means turtle, Tomiyama means hare or rabbit, Ko in Sako means fox, Ma in Arima means horse, Kanuma means deer etc) which is quite funny when you know Ori means cage.

Ohhhh, that's so cool! Thank you for the comment and explaining that! ^^

I had so much fun with this one! The animation of Suo’s fight was soooooo fluid and gorgeous! Agreed 100%! I love that we still have some mystery with Suo, but we see the “gentleman” angle with him and I love it! And agreed on the sadistic streak with him! Also, Nirei was precious! Him wanting to be protective and Sakura being all blushy over it - what’s not to love! Thank you for the comment!

Thank you for the comment and kind words! This series is going to challenge me to include the “important” characters each week! XD But it worked out well with Sugi and Suo this week, so thank you! I love that Sugi is JUST as wanting of praise as Sakura - he’s just more…gruff about it! 😛 But yeah, Nirei is just having anxiety max-leveled today! Suo DANCING - ugh, it was GORGEOUS. It was so fluid and executed so well - one of my favorite fights so far! And that talk about the importance of imagination was very well done and the teacher in me was so happy to hear it! I honestly love sharks so that would be so fun! And shark merch? Actually, yeah, it’s so marketable! 😀I’d buy it too! Thank you for the comment and I’m excited for this coming week!

I just love the fluidity of the fights in this series so far and the animation! And yesss, the movement and energy with Suo’s moves - so well done! Suo’s lecture to Kanuma made my teacher heart happy! And YES, the whole time, what Sakura took from it was, “So…how do I fight this guy?” Bless his stray cat heart. And yessss, Umemiya is so perceptive! He definitely is keeping track of his opponents on all fronts. I love that about the Shishitoren boys having animal names! And ahhhh, the tie to the cage! Gonna have to talk about that in a future episode! Thank you so much for the information and the comment!!

annnnnd i forgot to comment lol the movie theatre is another cool setting! the sugisaku rivalry is so funny, they take turns being the ragebaiter and the ragebaited lol arima made the big mistake of not paying respect to umemiya-san 😗 choji is adorable when he's not trying to kill you /joke it's cool seeing the different fighting style sugi's one punch putting people out of their misery... suo's swishy and graceful moves as he prolongs your suffering... definitely not someone i'd want to face though sudden backstory for kanuma and arima haha but suo didn't care i'm happy you got what suo meant by imagination needed to be an adult since usually imagination as a concept is associated with children... and i agree with age and maturity not always being the same thing. there are people who are older but still have not gained either the experience or the ability to empathize/imagine themselves in others' situations and have not become "mature"

Oh no worries! I'm just getting to this comment but love the theater as the environment for this episode and for the fight in general! It's great!! Thank you for the comment!
