| Finn's backstory is oh-so-traumatizing, what's really egging at his past? Mr. Apple not satisfied with Chris's relationship with Finn, and the latter's trip back to Sun Fields Orphanage encountering a new kid, it'll take some time for him to get used to the new environment. While the Klondike family celebrate over their bonds, the new kid Sam is just like Finn: being taken care of by the caretaker Lindsey, and this is his new family. With Lindsey's birthday celebration, Sun Fields on the verge of shutting down and the kids transported to new homes, while Finn is the only way to keep the orphanage alive, Lindsey can't accept his generosity. To make matters worse, Bobby Ball comes back to haunt him, gatecrashing the birthday party as revenge for getting the last seat of the Klondike family. And once again, amidst his nightmares popping up, Sam is still stuck in the orphanage, and Finn can only rescue him out of trouble. Lindsey's words come biting back into Finn by thrashing the daylight out of Bobby, and this the the 1st time where 2 cards are used for the killer X-Hand combo. Bobby, having research thoroughly on Finn, attempts to recreate young Finn's suffering, and from a blast that came from nowhere, annihilated Bobby on the spot. What a traumatic episode for Finn. |
 |
| The plot armour is thick in this one. For a guy who's power is supposedly perfect accuracy, Finn sure does miss most of his shots. |
| This was a weird episode, can't say I really enjoyed this one. Finn's backstory is definitely a sad one, and I did like Finn's relationship with the orphanage and the kids. Sam reminded Finn of himself after losing everything, and seeing all the kids and how the orphanage helped him in the past, he's desperate to keep it running. Bobby Ball returning was not that great, no real motive there except to make Finn suffer, just another cackling villain. I wonder who killed him though. Overall, a bit of a weak episode, let's hope the remaining ones build upon this a bit better. |
| Finn's past is rather bothersome to him, It seems, his house got burned down and his parents got killed in the process. Finn goes back to Sun Fields where he was raised, he meets Lindsey again and there's also a new face, his name is Sam. Apparently its Lindsey's birthday that day and all the kids are out to celebrate his birthday, which is wholesome. Bobby decides to appear out of nowhere and ruin the whole party, he still wants revenge on Finn it seems like. The two battle and everything goes up in flames, Finn knowing what has happened in the past goes blank, he only looks back in the past but then he seems Sam still in the house, he goes and saves him and Sam is now safe. Finn & Bobby continue their fight and Finn lands one punch and Bobby goes flying lmao, but Bobby now has 2 cards, and he creates X-Hand, which is super powerful, Finn being closed in sees no way out but then suddenly out of nowhere one big blast comes from an window and kills Bobby in the process, Finn is now saved but the orphanage is gone, that's just sad. I'm glad at least that they're all safe. This episode was traumatic and saddening. |

| This was a really nice episode. Seeing Finn’s backstory and how he was able to relate to the orphans at sunny fields was sweet. I love how he was able to cheer up Sam after relating his experiences to him. Really feel for Finn having to relive his past trauma though, that was very rough to watch. Wonder who our mystery guy is |
 |
| Good episode on Finn's backstory. I wonder why Lindsey was keeping information from Finn from what happened to him? Maybe either to make Finn feel a little better or perhaps something more sinister (it did bother me that Lindsey didn't want to see Finn anymore). Also, it looks like someone took care of Bobby from miles away, interesting. |
| Yeah probably Finn’s backstory also in the next episode. So many elements that needed to be explained and only four episodes left. For now there aren’t worthy twists. |
 |
| Things are literally heating up in this episode as Finn's past comes back to haunt him when he encounters Bobby at the orphanage. To make matters worse Booby had two cards which allowed him to create a powerful X-hand that made him indestructible. Unfortunately for Bobby, he was killed by the hands of the Klondike family for not only going rouge, but revealing the power of X-Hand to High Card that allowed him to cause a scene involving multiple witnesses. Seems like Finn remembers everything that happened that night, but once again we are left with more questions than answers. |
 |
| I'm really disapointed with this anime. I really enjoyed the first few episodes with character introductions but then it went downhill so fast. The plot feels all over the place; there's no clear direction. I'm going to finish the anime but I'm not excited every week to watch it anymore.

| This is kinda gay, I mean, why would Finn give flowers to his former foster parent , when he could've have given him either booz or something to eat .... Whoa,who the fuck just saved Finn? |
| so i don't know if people know this but in spades, the 2 is actually a good card to play at the right time, i mean sure it's weak but it beats most of the rest of the deck on its own. anyways, sad episode. i want to know more about the book. |
 |
| was he missing on purpose? so many shots sometimes at close range an almost none hit the target |
 |
| the stakes have raised! multiple card hands are in play! it's officially a crazy game of poker! |
| bad guy: EXPLODES literally 2 seconds later: EPISODE ENDS based lindsey be like: someone hits you? don't hit back. they're kinda bad? BEAT THE SH*T OUTTA THEM and finn be like: guess I'm a stormtrooper now |

| Lucky for Finn he got his ass saved by bomb ex machina. Looks like the "all kaboom" girl from ep 1 |

| I kinda loosely read that Finn was really not in a sane space mentally during that fight, and that likely made him a lot less accurate. The flash of him seeing his opponent as the knight from his dream/memory and rapidly firing in a panic at it I think kinda hints at that. That said it was definitely a bit too contrived to make him that storm troopery, but I'm not sure what else you can really do but make every opponent he faces in this show immune in some way to his bullets like this one was, since a protagonist who can end any encounter with a perfectly accurate shot every time does not make for good action. Also notable that visibility with all the smoke is a bit rough, I'm not sure he's ever *directly* shot a person before, he's always fired grazing shots in the show. So if he's aiming for grazing shots instead of centre-mass shots in visibility this poor it's likely he was slightly off, compounded with the mental trauma and panic as well. |

| So after the comedy and drama of last episode, this week's brings back the flashy action and more on Finn's backstory. Only the part he knew himself though, as he has no memory of his life before the orphanage. And in spite of the fiery rematch between Finn and Bobby, this felt much like a build-up episode, with many new questions and mysteries in the room. It seems that there is more to both Mr. Apple and Lindsay. And there are at least three - possibly four - new characters who only got a "silent shot" of screentime - the pink-hair Klondike guy, the girl who joined him in the car, whoever was in Mr. Apple's car and the women who killed Bobby with that missile launcher ability (but that might've been the girl from before). And then, we also see double play in action. That seems really powerful and additionally goes against the "card finds it's owner" rule, as I doubt Bobby would be so lucky to have two cards alligned to him. Also, what happend to his cards as he burned down with the orphanage? Also, it is a mystery why Bobby knew about Finn's past. I doubt the Klondike Mafia told him, because they seemingly wanted him dead and had no intention to make sure he kills Finn first. Personally, I'm getting terrible Tiger & Bunny flashbacks here, with the fire, amnesia and manipulation... Next week looks like more development on Finn and Chris' relationship. I'm looking forward to it. Maybe it is as I hoped, and the forced hand holding was not just for the comedy, but rather a setup for a deeper relationship. And finally: How will they wrap this up in just four more episodes? This series does a really good job at setting up a lot of interesting characters and mysteries, so I hope it wont be rushed. And god forbid another"play the game to start the story" like Smile of Arsnotoria! I wouldn't mind a second season though! |
| Funny to see Mr. Apple as a recurring character. I think he has a thing for Finn, just a thought though. Regardless, while the animation wasn't great and Finn missed a lot of his shots, we did get more information about his past and this event triggered it nicely. I wonder though who the guy who saved him was and what happened to the bad guy's card. There's the X hand deal as well to figure so basically different things to disect. Good episode |

| amazing show, I'm already thrilled from the start |
 |
| I thought Lindsey was going to die. Fortunately, he didn't. At least not yet. And he needs to give Finn an explanation. Maybe he lied to protect Finn? I mean, to keep him away from the Klondikes, but Finn eventually ended up facing them anyway. Lindsey doesn't seem like the type of person who'd lie for a malicious reason. |
 |
| long distance shoot!!! kekeke a player can use some cards at the same time!!! |
| Damn Goblin slayer kill Finn family? Man not the orphanage as well. |
 |
| ngl that was kinda boring and the animated degraded, but anyway now they can use two card, huh. weird but ok |
 |
| Did they like forget what Finn's ability was? Isn't he supposed to not miss? How is he missing every single shot. And why does Bobby get like an infinite amount of marbles at some parts without actually turning things into marbles? He's not even throwing them in some parts. And Finn has super strength now? And now that Bobby can regenerate, Finn is hitting all his shots? What was this episode bro -_- Both Finn's life and the lives of the kids in Sunny Fields were in danger, yet Finn let that escalate way too far. Another 2/5 episode :( |
 |
ForeverTraitor said: Bro fr I hated this episode. That was actually just garbage how that played out. He missed like pretty much all of his shots until Bobby used that second card that let him regenerate because ofc. I've been enjoying this, but wow this episode and the last were terrible imo :(The plot armour is thick in this one. For a guy who's power is supposedly perfect accuracy, Finn sure does miss most of his shots. |
|
| Damn you Lindsey, WHY would you say that to poor Finn??? Like isn't it good he comes to help you out and vist all the kids too??? It's his family too,,,that's so mean- 💔 AND ISN'T HIS CARD'S ABLITY ALSO ACCURACY??? BRO was shooting like a storm trooper- |
 |
| Lol, I think Finn should join stormtroopers since he suddenly can't hit anything. This ep was total garbage. I am quite disappointed. |

| Mr Apple being sussy for Finn?? On a more serious note though, it went from wholesome happy birthday party to inferno real fast >_< Finn remembers more of his past! |
| Leave the orphanage alone like seriously. Don't mess with children and orphanages. Thank you very much. |
