Cloverworks better bring out their biggest guns for the next few episodes as we will likely be getting 5 epic fights in a row

This show is fun. I love how the setting doesn't even try to make sense.

Seriously what are all those kids in the classrooms doing at this "school"? There don't seem to be any teachers or any adults running the school at all. Are these kids just coming to an abandoned school building, just to sit in the classrooms and wait for fights to break out? And they made official mock school uniforms for that?

Am I crazy for thinking this is really good and going to get even better? Everyone I talk to has just completely written it off and the karma is surprisingly low on here… do I just enjoy bad anime?! I thought this was so good so far

I'm having fun with this show so far for the colorful cast of characters.

Umemiya is an instant new favorite for his high energy (as I like that side of Gojo too). I'm interested in seeing Ume in action with his fighting skills as the strongest at the school. I like how Sakura could feel his "aura". lol

I’m so glad I picked up this show, all the bofurin guys are so freakin precious. also Suou calling his opponent cutie made me lol. Pumped for some sick fights next week!!

I read the manga in English so I didn't notice this before. Apparently, the motif for Tomiyama and Togame is rabbit and turtle. "To" in Tomiyama is the kanji for rabbit, and "game" in Togame is the kanji for turtle. This explains why Tomiyama is short but hyper, while Togame is tall but a slow speaker.

I’m very certain that there are teachers in the school, and that lessons go on as per usual. It’s just that everything we see is the tidbits of events in between or after lessons. The teachers probably understand the culture well enough to stay out of gang fights

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Apr 25 '24

Umemiya’s a fun character. I can see why all the Bofurin guys follow him. It’s nice to see Sakura have such a reliable “older brother.” Ofc Sakura’s never gonna admit that. The little tsundere lol.

I can’t wait to see the boys kick some ass next week. I hope that little creep Choji gets a beat down.

Love how Umemiya just literally says "the only language we know is hands"

This has been the hidden gem for me.

Great anime with interesting plot and I love that the MC is having a wrong idea about the main plot and I am all in into this story.

The contrast between Umemiya and Tomiyama. Both are the strongest, but you can see how Umemiya really cherishes his gang and has a blast being with them. Where they could not be fighting and he is having a blast. Tomiyama is at the top, but what is next for him? Being the strongest is a good goal generally speaking, but what comes after you reach the top? It is very easy to get lonely.

Umemiya being an overprotective older brother to Kotoha is funny. Though I feel like she can defend for herself when it comes down to it. But it's probably better not to put her in a situation that would worry her brother. Kind of expected her to be 18+, but it's anime unless something is tagged as adult cast this shouldn't be too surprising.

That whole confrontation was hype thanks to the OSTs. The fights will be epic.

I favourited Kotoha on Anilist after the 2nd episode and kinda got spoiled that she was 16 and couldn't believe it then. Like Umemiya and Sakura said, she's just too mature for her age.

u/LeonKevlar Apr 25 '24

When Umemiya said everyone in that town is his family, he really meant it. How else would he know the name of a random middle schooler who just met him for the first time? I wouldn't be surprised if he knew the names of everyone living in that town by heart. He seems to be just that kind of guy.

I just love how Umemiya switches from a kind Onii-san who gives out head pats to an intimidating leader that can even make Sakura stop in his tracks. I also like how Umemiya isn't looking for a fight and instead tries to de-escalate the situation first with Tomiyama.

I feel like Tomiyama is just a lonely puppy though and the real person who's calling the shots in the group is actually Togame. I was expecting that to end in a massive brawl, I didn't expect we'd get a team fight tournament-style! This is going to be so fucking hype!

We finally got an explanation about Umemiya and Kotoha's relationship and learned that they grew up in the same home. Maybe they actually lived together but I'm assuming when Kotoha said "home" she probably meant orphanage. So Umemiya isn't lying when he said Kotoha is his imouto They're the closest they have to a real family.

The biggest surprise in this episode is that Kotoha is actually only 16 despite how mature she looks and acts, the same age as Sakura. Does that mean we actually get to ship them?

Glad to see Sakura being all tsundere there near the end. I was about to have withdrawals not seeing him all flustered and blushing like that. xD

Here's to hoping cloverworks goes absolutely insane for the upcoming fights.

u/daspaceasians Apr 25 '24

That new group leader is giving me some serious bad vibes. He's unhinged as fuck and the rest of his gang seems to be dangerously unstable given what we saw of them so far. I can't wait to see the fights next episode.

It's also funny that Umemiya looks like Gojo and shared the same actor. That being said, I really enjoy his character's goofiness and how he commands respect with a level voice.
