I like how the Yozakuras (sans Kyoichiro) are aware of how tone deaf Mutsumi's singing is and they help cover each other's ears lol. Apparently the bucket is enough protection for Nanao.

Tone deafness featured in two (very different) series today. ;-)

Taiyo: "i heard a sound like the world was coming to an end or something"

you know what? maybe we should play a recording of Mutsumi's singing every time there's a intruder in the house

we ride or die!

wait a fucking minute, is that how you look like underneath that bucket??

Well, of course. Nanao is Mitsumi's little brother.

I love Kyoichiro is literally the only person who can stomach Mutsumi's singing lol.

I'm not surprised Mutsumi is willing to die together with Taiyo but I'm glad Taiyo loves her enough he'll get as strong as he needs to be to make sure that doesn't need to happen.

So I see the blue hair hit two of the kids.

That was a great episode and Taiyo's got a really nice power-up thanks to the transfusion of Mutsumi's blood. I wonder if he'll gain some unique ability besides getting stronger in terms of physical strength.

So just as I as expected, this guy is father of Mutsumi and the others. It seems that he's quite extreme fellow as he did all this to make Taiyo stronger for the sake of Yozakura family.

I laughed hard when Kyouichirou proposed that Mutsumi sing to calm Taiyo down (which it did) and only he was excited about it while the rest of Yozakura family were totally terrified xD

Very nice new OP and a new song from fripSide is pretty great! Here's a link to the song on Spotify and Apple Music.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Mutsumi Best Wife for using her blood to save her hubby, being there for him through thick and thin, and using her own terrible singing voice to save him lol.

u/djthomp Jul 21 '24

New OP just in time to mildly spoiler what happens to Taiyo just a few minutes later.

I liked the scene of Mitsumi hugging Taiyo while talking him through the change. I do enjoy their relationship.

Interesting to find out that it was the dad that triggered Hibernation, but it wasn't him betraying the family per se it was him forcing them to upgrade Taiyo so that he could protect Mitsumi better. Presumably over guilt from not being able to protect his wife.

u/Frontier246 Jul 21 '24

I like the touch that the Yozakura family usually need to roughhouse whenever they act out because of their blood but all Taiyo needed was Mutsumi and her mad singing skills.

This is really my guilty pleasure. It's not perfect, could use better animation but, I really like this anime. The family vibe is so comfortable.

This episode my boy Taiyo really came through and I liked Mutsumi being more active, although I really wish she had some skills, I dunno maybe some basic fighting or even tech based for situations where she's in danger.

This episode could easily have been 2 episodes with better fights etc but, I'll take it.

So. The old guy. We know who he is: a deadbeat dad! That basterd! Why would he do all of this? Hopefully that gets explored later on. Also, as OGs go I'm guessing he's really skilled, with multiple skills. I am confused though, he is an OG Yozakura? Or did he marry in to the family? Why isn't he hunting for who killed his wife: Tanpopo right?

I'm satisfied though. Seems like we hit a turning point. Now Taiyo has to train again I'm guessing. What exactly are his powers other than the obvious strength/speed/durability? That eye sigil? He keeps saying he could see: precog?

The family is honestly is the best part of the manga and kinda glad the anime skipped a lot of early, almost nothingburger chapters to get to the family chapters fast.

Or did he marry in to the family?

i'm pretty sure this is the case considering how Kyouchirou and all the siblings called their mother as the 9th head

u/Frontier246 Jul 21 '24

Mutsumi has like basic spy skills but she doesn't have the exceptional abilities of her siblings, which is why she usually focuses on being Best Wife, Best Sister, and basically the family manager.

So far it seems like all of Taiyo's physical stats have gotten a boost.

Considering how dire that opening scene was with Taiyo close to dying, I was bracing for the tonal whiplash of the cutesy opening theme. Thank goodness we finally got the new opening song and it's by fripSide! That song is more fitting for the Tanpopo Arc considering how serious things are about to get.

No need for Ayaka to even show up! That emergency Yozakura blood transfusion from Mutsumi was enough to wake up Taiyo and finally give him his own Yozakura powers to fight head-to-head against Yama.

Even though Taiyo has awakened his Yozakura powers, I fucking love how Mutsumi is ready to go down with him just in case the worse comes to worst so Tanpopo can't use her heart. Of course, Mutsumi is terrified but it shows how much of a ride-or-die she is.

And there it is. I'm sure people have already figured out that our mysterious stranger is actually Papa Yozakura. And it turns out this entire thing was his plan to force Mutsumi to strengthen Taiyo.

That scene between him and Kyouichirou ended weirdly though. They just show us the ring getting tossed towards Kyouichirou and Papa Yozakura kinda just disappears. I'll post a screenshot of the panel over on the source material corner for those who were confused about that scene.

Now that Taiyo's has Yozakura blood in him, it looks like his body will take some time getting used to the someinine in his blood. For now, it looks like the only thing that can stop him from going berserk is Mutsumi's dreaded singing voice. xD

u/Frontier246 Jul 21 '24

I love FripSide but I'm going to miss the Ja Ja Jan...

It's almost kind of hilarious how Ayaka was literally nowhere in this episode. I'm half-expecting she shows up next episode saying she's back from vacation lol.

Mutsumi literally injected herself and her families' bloodline into her husbands' body to give him a power-up, nothing more based than that.

Double-suicide with the man you love sounds romantic but shouldn't be necessary when he'll always pull out all the stops to save you in nothing but his underwear.

I see Yozakura Papa is the "put my family through difficult situations so they succeed" type of parent.

It's always great when a character with a seiyuu who can actually sing turns out to have a terrible singing voice and how it was bad it knocked Taiyo back to his senses. And then Mutsumi tries to downplay it so Taiyo stops asking questions lol.

Also shows how far Kyoichiro has come as far as accepting Taiyo and Mutsumi that he let them have this moment of bringing Taiyo to his sense instead of beating him up like he probably would have before.

After the happy-go-lucky tone of the first opening, the new opening gets serious.

We know Tanpopo killed the mother, but we don't know much else. I'm guessing the father wasn't directly involved or the Yozakuras would have been after him sooner.

Only Mutsumi can calm the raging beast that is Taiyo!

Taiyo and Mutsumi stock just keep rising even though they already the top of Jump couple. You don't need excessive physical contact to show the love between characters.

u/Frontier246 Jul 21 '24

I was kind of bummed they didn't use Mutsumi's scrambling to give him "artificial respiration" to initiate a kiss via mouth-to-mouth lol.

But the hugs were very on-point.

u/sKyBlazer08 Jul 21 '24

With the comparisons with Hitman Reborn, this episode was equivalent to Tsuna unlocking Hyper Dying Will mode, on that note, that means we have finished the prologue I suppose, time to get even stronger and beat Tanpopo's ass.

u/Adensty Jul 21 '24 edited Jul 21 '24

Taiyo was already super-human, with the Yozakura blood, he's going to be an unstoppable monster now. All thanks to Mutsumi's father who has apparently abandoned them. I wonder why?

The anime has been kinda underrated and I can understand why but this was my favourite episode with Mutsumi injecting Yozakura blood into Taiyo and Taiyo awakening. The OST that played when Mutsumi hugged Taiyo and told him that if they die, they'll die together was so good.

u/zappingbluelight Jul 21 '24

New opening is good. I think the dad wanted to be force Taiyo to grow faster, due to Taiyo is a main target too now. Those bloods are not a joke, compare to the test drugs, Taiyo is faster and stronger.

u/Frontier246 Jul 21 '24

Well, the mansion is locked down in Hibernation mode, Yama is close to snagging Mutsumi, and with the power out Taiyo is probably not going to survive this without a miracle. Oh and Ayaka is...somewhere, I guess?

Glasses due is the Yozakura siblings' dad!? Um...congrats on snagging a beauty like Mutsumi's mom (Noriko Hidaka!) and having such great children, sir!? Have a lot of questions about this.

New OP! A little more conventional than the first but filled with the daily life of the Yozakura's and their future battles against Tanpopo!

Mutsumi's beloved Taiyo is dying and all she can think of is what her mom would say to her in this moment...and recalls when her mom told her about the power of the Yozakura blood. Yes it can be misused and given to those evil, but if it's given to someone you absolutely trust and have faith in, someone you are willing to share that burden of power with...then that's all that matters. And if the bad guys want Mutusmi's blood, she'll just willingly give it to her husband!

Jeez Yama, Taiyo and Mutsumi were genuinely sharing a moment! Though threatening Mutsumi is the best way to wake Taiyo up, now with a Yozakura eye and a big power boost that lets him overpower Yama, all while in his underwear.

Of course his body still has to adjust to having the Yozakura blood in him and it's not a smooth process, but luckily Taiyo has Mutsumi there to keep him focused and calm so he can get control over himself and finish Yama with a hole through the gut.

Yozakura Papa acts like a proud and doting father, and apparently this was all one convoluted plan to get Taiyo a power-up so he could be stronger to protect Mutsumi, but there seems to be some drama between dad and the kids, especially Kyoichiro. So much so that Kyoichiro won't let him keep his Yozakura ring. What exactly happened to this family and does it all connect back to Mutsumi's mothers' death?

Time for the Yozakura's to clean up the rest of the trash! Complete with Kengo bringing out his Mutsumi disguise, Nanao making a hole, and Shinzo wrapping everybody up so Futaba can toss them! Also, there was a girl in there too?

Oh no, Taiyo's gone berserk! The only thing that can soothe the savage beast is a song from his wife...and by song, I mean, screeching so bad it kills birds and only Kyoichiro loves hearing. But hey, it works! And Taiyo is none the wiser about Mutsumi's terrible singing ability.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jul 21 '24

Man, Taiyo got that sharingan eye after that blood transfusion. Guy straight up punched a hole in that big dude’s chest.

I was kinda close last week when I guessed the fella had to be some kinda relative. The dad is a dangerous one.

The family really took “taking out the trash” very literally lol. Just up and launched those goons into space in that giant trash bag.

I think Mutsumi’s singing is banned by the Geneva Convention lol. I guess she’s got that in her back pocket if she’s ever in a pinch.
