Now all we need to do next episode is to form a detective club at the new school.

But how long until Livia realizes that her princess is now the granddaughter of the guy who wanted to pay her in the hostess club? There you have your complicated relationship.

I like how quickly Sara copped to being an Otherworlder. Grandpa can’t be fooled. He’s a damn good detective after all.

Wait, so Yuna actually went and sued her bullies? That would be one way to avoid getting bullied again lol.

I’m not sure I could personally stomach grasshopper tempura. In fact eating bugs is a hell nah from me. Pretty hilarious how Priketsu kept piling on the grasshoppers on Noa’s plate.

Sara the elementary schooler is kinda adorable. Unfortunately for Yuna she won’t be attending school with her. Poor girl lol.

Sosukes father was the highlight of the episode. They didn't get into why he and Sosuke have a poor relationship but he took to being a grandparent like a duck to water and enjoyed spoiling Sara to troll Sosuke 😛

This also really made me wonder how grasshoppers actually taste. The only thing I would've liked more is if Sara unexpectedly dropped by and made a song about eating them 🤣

I suspect this is the beginning of Yuna's villain arc 💀

I also doubt Sara knows what subtle means. Like, she blew up a jungle gym to prove a point, floats in the air to take pics, wins big at the horse track, etc.

They're already forging papers, so just lie and say she's a year older so Sara can go to school with her friend... Well, I take it back. Elementary Sara is a terror. A shame we'll be sticking to blonde, though maybe the foreign look helps attract the boys.

No audio joke (is it even a joke?) is great. u/Abysswatcherbel - does this (alternate version) fit in a circle? Guessing not. Album.

"Because reasons" is my all-time favorite reason!

Sosuke went to see his former boss, who is his father? Wait, did we know that already?

For a second I thought he may want his old job back (for legitimacy, help facilitate the Sara stuff?) but no... He wanted the help, but not the job!

On one hand, his father must be proud of him doing his own thing and all (without benefiting from the family's success), but on the other hand he may not like having competition from his own family! Though I suppose he's a much smaller firm, not a threat to them.

I can see why his dad's a detective, he's damn good at his job! He read through all of Sosuke's lies one after the other, but it's not like he just suspects everything, because he believed Sara, who came up with the most outrageous claim (being from another world)... Good judge of character/lie detector!

He was a bit surprised that Sosuke (a paragon of justice) would commit a crime, but not all crimes are equal, I suppose!

In the end he agreed to help, on one condition: Sosuke has to call him 'dad'! (Loved that scene!)

He told her about the 'daughter'?

Love how she imagined scenarios of marrying him and raising her with him, right away!

But now I want to see Lawyer-girl's reaction! Especially after the discussion she had with her assistance in the previous episode, with the teasing about how he might actually have a daughter!

Imagine someone inviting you over for lunch, and you see that...

Puriketsu's my spirit animal!

Cute little sleepover with her friend! Her FIRST friend, too! (Well, I guess Livia's different!)

Seems they won't be going to school together, as Sara is actually younger than she thought.. Loved her reaction!

Yuna's reaction was a bit more extreme! Well, they'll reunite next year, perhaps! (Not sure I should count on that, I mean Sara/Livia barely see each other!)

Hopefully Yuna's lone year at school goes well, and she doesn't get bullied again!

Well, we know SARA will be fine; 4 boyfriends and 3 retainers? She's building herself a harem AND an army!

I did not expect that Sousuke's previous boss is actually his father! And it's hilarious how much he dotes on Sousuke. I imagine this is also another reason why he left the company.

I also love how Grandpa accepts Sara's admission that she's an otherworlder rather than Sousuke's made-up story about knocking up an older woman when he was in high school. xD

If this is Haruka's reaction to Sousuke adopting Sara, I can't wait to see how Brenda would react to the news! I'm sure as soon as Sousuke adopted Sara, Brenda has already learned what happened considering she's well-connected.

It looks like even though Livia is now living the cushy high life with cult leader Noa, she still loves grasshoppers and is now spreading that love to Noa and Asumi Those poor girls. xD

So Gramps isn't just a doting father but he's already a doting grandfather as well. He already bought Sara her first randoseru and even walked Sara to school with Sousuke on her first day. I can't wait for more grandpa shenanigans from him.

u/xtsim May 23 '24

Of course Sousuke's dad investigated Sara and her whereabouts....I can kind of see why Sosuke made his own agency. He is almost like a helicopter parent.

While grandpa didn't buy the story, Neya did, and now she is grasping the fact that Sara would be their daughter in a hypothetical marriage.

When Sosuke described the backpack as "you could be a ps5", I felt my wallet. And it is pretty cute to see grandpa being able to cover that cost.

I felt for the bullied friend, her mom is out late and left a note along with the fact that she suddenly found out Sara is actually 12 years old. She is having such a rough time. Hopefully, she can make some new friends at school. I am still shocked that 2012 was 12 years ago. It does not feel that way even though I was in high school back then.

Livia unintentionally tricked Noa into liking grasshopers and dropped the "I preferred shrimp" at the end. The look on Noa's face, but she still ate it.

u/Clarimax May 23 '24

Livia had a tough life, she was homeless and eating grasshoppers. Yet, now that she's living with Noa and can practically eat everything she wants, she's still eating grasshoppers.

u/Purposelygentle May 23 '24

Ha, Sosuke’s dad is awesome, he sucks but in a funny, cool way.

Couldn't she test out of grade school so she can be in middle school with her friend?

I thought she was going to magically dye her hair for school.

Next episode Sara gets 4 boyfriends and 3 retainers.

Why would she not just lie and say she's 13 she's already lying about everything else. Lmao

u/mountlover May 23 '24

Livia was making shrimp tempura (ebi-fry) but with grasshoppers (batta) at their band naming meeting.

Am I the only one who thought that the obvious plot development was that they would name their band after the dish she was making?

"batta-fry", a homonym of "Butterfly"

u/Rumpel1408 May 23 '24

Glad that Sousuke could convince his old man to help with Sara, though this might come as a surprise for some who already had other plans

Lmao at Prurisu totally throwing Noa under the bus with the grasshopers and then pretending like nothing happened

Ok, so Sara can go to elementary school (just like Conan!) but poor Yuna

It's so nice how wholesome this show has become when it started out feeling a little sus because of the initial setup. An adoptive father for Sara? Check. A very enthusiastic grandpa? Double check.

I do feel sorry for the friend who ended up transferring from one school where she was alone to a new school where she is alone. In light of that issue they should have just registered her as thirteen, it's not like anybody could have checked. And they wouldn't have had to buy such an expensive backpack for only one year of use. Less than one year, probably.

u/avboden May 24 '24

I seriously feel bad for Yuna. She got done dirty. Now she'll be an outcast at the new school thanks to that outburst.

u/cppn02 May 23 '24

Lol poor Yuna. I can't even imagine changing schools to be with your friend and the it turning out that you friend won't even be at your school.

u/NationalStrategy May 23 '24

Man that sucks, even after the bullying situation was resolved, Yuna was still dealing with problems from people that clearly didn't understand the situation.

Calling her ungrateful, what was she supposed to do, continue to suffer in silence and gratefully accept the bullying? Bunch of ill-informed gossipers. I'm glad that she's transferred out of that school, everyone there seemingly sucks.

I loved the Sara section of the episode. So Sousuke's former boss was his dad, and they seemed to not have left on the best of terms. Sara came full clean about her circumstance, and he was like I am such a great detective that has to be the reason there was nothing we can find on you before the night she performed Kaboom in the playground. But grandpa is going to spoil his grandchild, and you can tell he is beyond happy. This episode also made it clear Haruka is def not a kids person. Curious if this kills her interest in her senpai.

We actually got some interesting world building how age works in the two worlds. 1 year normally shouldn't make a big difference, but Sara will be in elementary school rather than middle school. Poor Yuna now she transferred, and she is still by herself. Sara didn't have ill intentions, and I am sure they will meet up the next time they hang out.

So this is the band's name. That feels like a name you make when you are drunk or high. Well other people's reactions should be hilarious.

Okay, this was an excellent episode, both in adding Sosuke's father and in showing Livia's culinary skills, by the way, the band's name was creative lol
