Yeah good luck to Akira if he wants to have a peaceful life in this city. Given the nature of this show, it's almost impossible. However, it's hard to also blame him for the troubles. Seems trouble often comes to him.Seeing Akira fooling around local bars was priceless.

Also nice to see Youko getting more spotlight and her adventure around the city. Not going to lie, her personailty is how I'd imagine when wandering around.

Youko is a whole new level of unhealthy for any poor fellow who tries to take her out... In any sense of the term...

Those working underground have very strange morality, but at least it's better than nothing.

An incredibly tense showdown. It looks like this year of lying low has already done some good for Fable, as apparently taking care of Captain taught him the value of life. I wonder what's next for him now that he's moving towards Ebihara's good side. Just what kind of creature is Youko?

Dead guy got what was coming for him.

The surveilance guy is fucking oblivious but the bitch is a bit too cruel too.

The fuck kinda sadist play was this; even worse seeing it animated with voice and emotions.

Not fond of Youko's personality.

Ah the cliffhanger from last week has been answered and Akira acted excuse me Sato as he’s going by now as his alias acted and proved that he’s not someone to be messed with and shut everyone down in a matter of seconds and after that they went out to get some food and talk about life. Youko acted exactly how I think everyone expected her to act and treated the guy she was with a joke, and pretty much had fun with the fact that he was so drunk and pathetic 😂 looking forward to next weeks episode.

Youko might seem funny, but she actually has a thing for power dynamics, as seen in her relationships with a killer/boss adoptive father figure and a killer/superhuman co-worker.

And isn't it cool how Akira and Takeshi went from aiming guns at each other to sharing a fancy meal at a fancy restaurant? That's just how it goes with these yakuza guys.

the scene where they pointed and crossed their guns at each other gave me 80s old school John Woo action movie vibes that starred Chow Yun Fat. Some of yall who are old enough to remember those movie will get what I mean. Twas crispy AF.

I don't see what's so good about this show. The comedy is lame, the characters are dull, the premise is fine but I feel like it's going to get dull fast. So far it has shown zero appeal except buying the parrot.

I thought Youko was just using Takahashi... well that's not wrong, but who would have thought she had such strange preferences.... xD

But this episode was really fun hahahah

With Akira going in for the kill from Takeshi's plan of using his henchmen against him, the latter soon realizes that he's the real deal, and not even guns can faze him off. But all he wants now is a peaceful life, and Takeshi will not give him the light of day after hearing of his famed "misdemeanors". And the chat about life, ending up in one of them getting killed, and with Kuroichi now knowing the true nature of Akira as well as a pro hitman.

Meanwhile, Takahashi's date with Yoko, she's just acting like her usual while the former continues to drown her down in alcohol, as Takeshi treats Akira to a meal, the latter thanking that his group is taking care of the surveillance of Yoko. But Takahashi has his head spinning from being drunk, and Yoko treating him like a drunk clown, leaving her to take maters into her own hands and designating him like a drunk kid. For Akira trying to find common normal work, it's unusual for him. Even Takeshi has a moment for Misaki, the girl running multiple jobs and wants to open a store for her parents.

It's...weirdly heartwarming, actually. Until shit goes down...

This first date between Yoko and Takahashi is also how the first date between Togashi and his now-wife Takeuchi, went.

"He's so incredibly pathetic and cute!"
What if we watched Evangelion in the sewer...?

Youko's escapades are always hilarious, I wasn't sure about her design in the anime but she was shining in this one.

Honestly, I'm having a lot of fun watching this show. It's pretty obvious how badly drawn and animated it is, but its main characters are funny enough to keep me watching every episode until the end. Plus I'm a little biased with the MC because he has a Pet bird, and I love these feathered friends.

One enjoyable episode. The sister is the same kind of drunk I am. I like watching people f*ck up while they're drunk as well. We'd get along quite well, I can only hope.
Today, I may be a weak little bug that gets tossed in the wind,
washed away by the currents, and drowns, but tomorrow,
I may become the butterfly that spreads its colossal wings and flies the open skies!

Glad this arc is over and Fable is finally left to his own devices without the unnecessary meddling. I wonder what he'd get into after this.

My ribs hurt laughing at Yoko being a weird perverted sadist and how much struggle Takahashi went through lol

At least we know Fable isn't so cold blooded just really aloof.

Interesting dynamic between Fable and Ebihara this episode.
Youko's appearances continue to steal the show tho. Wasn't expecting her to have those kind of kinks.
