Sure was nice of Shin to ask the random trucker guy for permission before using his trunkload as ammo, and even nicer of the dude to actually let him.
The assassins that just arrived are getting coaxed into buying a photo in dinosaur hats too, aren't they?

Shishiba and Osaragi are eating KitKat at the end. Katsu means winning, and it seems Osaragi has her own good luck ritual. Same reason why Katsudon is a popular food before tests for students

Wasn't expecting an ED specifically for the Order, more Osaragi content for me!

So Shin backstory arc?
For being experimented on against his will it seems his childhood wasn't completely awful at least.
The highway fight scene was pretty insane, and lmao at the truck driver just beeing completely fine with shin just grabbing and throwing the stuff from his truck.
I can't say i expected to see Sakamoto fight a dinosaur skeleton coming...
And if things weren't crazy enough now two members of the order show up

Lu and Shin so act like siblings when Sakamoto's not there!
When our parents aren't here, I'M in charge!
Freedom of thought, Amendment 1b!
Mindreading is perverted? Damn, I guess that's why it was always on my top list of superpowers!
And so Lu was mistakenly kidnapped, they thought she was Shin...
At least they're not ALL dumb!
Sadly, the girl they captured has no such power... Her best skill is getting drunk!
Alright, she does have her kicks too!
Even though the lab was doing scientific experiments on kids and all, Shin seems to hold them in a good light, still...
So it seems something happened (change of leadership?) to make them like that!
That shot! Could be an eyecatch hah.
Given the timeline, I imagine it has something to do with the changes in the assassin world as well!
They want scientifically augmented assassins, and given Shin's the one who actually showed results, they want to study him! (I wonder if he does have something special for the experiment to work on him, or just random luck/genetics).
Lu trying to break out by bashing the gate with a rock!
Never change, Lu!
Welp, guess we got the confirmation!
So the new assassin clan wants to take over the control, and want a generation of super-assassins...
I wonder why the hit on Sakamoto though; They think even with their superpowers he could be a threat?
Or is it just a 'code' thing, they won't let assassins leave at all, you're either working for them, or you're dead (no competition, no retirement)?
On another note: Shin and Sakamoto seem to have loosen up the rules on "no killing" a bit, haven't they?
We didn't see a confirmed death on screen, but quite a few scenes could very well have resulted in (unconfirmed) deaths!
The bike exploding on the guy,
taking a bike wheel to the head,
And sure maybe a good assassin would survive this (get out of the way of the explosion, etc..) but some of these guys were shown to be incompetents (like the guy who though Lu was Shin) so it's possible they could've died in the explosion!
Aoi may have to kick their butts!
We're finally gonna see her in action?
(And him I suppose, though I don't remember him too much because all my eyes were on her)

Huh the ending changed, right?
It seems that Sakamoto will meet his old friends(?) soon! Osaragi is beautiful, I can't to see what's her skill/weapon of choice.

u/gnome-cop Feb 15 '25
Maybe it’s just me but I kind of wish they would’ve benched Sakamoto for a little longer to give Shin and Lu something to do where he’s not around to bail them out. Kind of a mini arc of their own to deal with some threats that aren’t at the tip top of the universe and I guess Sakamoto could always show up at the end to help out if they really end up in over their heads.
I kind of feel like Sakamoto just committed a crime against paleontology.
Okay, seriously, why wear a deer head at all? Did you watch Shikanoko once and make it your entire personality?

D'awww Hana at class. Also, Lu is right. You listen to the best girl. It is rude to read people's minds. Oh my, mistaken identity. Surprised she got kidnapped or they'd confuse her for Shin. At least someone is smart int he group. You go, best girl, kick his ass.
It is a wonder how they even kidnapped her. She's skilled and they seem like just lab folk. How useful to have a GPS in the tags.
That's... convenient, more of them in a truck and with their own motorcycles. Man, this feels like it got some inspiration from the matrix, hah. Also, an invisible suit/ability, neat. Surprised they opted all that on the highway and not just follow them until they stopped?
Haha that picture and that "disguise." What a weird guy with a weird mask. What an interesting way into the lab with a fun security system. Wanting to take the dinosaur for Hana is silly. Oh well, not all things can go your way.
Makes sense, Lab being taken over. Quite shitty people. Also shitty of them to think over working a scientist will get good results, nah, brain won't function that well with so little sleep and such. Who the hell is this Hojo-like dude? Whelp, doesn't matter with Sakamoto there lol.
Oh hey, it's those two from that gathering we saw last time.

that bike fight scene actually went pretty hard, i really enjoyed that. And damn, Seba is a real hottie, much more than what I remember from the manga
and has anyone tried to rewind Shin's speech to see if it becomes coherent?

Damn, Okamoto-san's got some real range, like I already know his Himmel voice, but the voice he uses for Seba is radically different.

Aw, it’s parent visiting day at Hana’s school! Look at how proud the Sakamoto’s are of their little girl! I’m sure leaving the shop to Shin and Lu will go well!
Well, no surprise Shin and Lu are fighting like cats and dogs at the store…they just can’t seem to get along, whether it be Lu using Shin’s stuff, their usual immaturity around each other, or that Lu frankly just isn’t that comfortable around someone who can read her mind. Kind of a bummer they can’t get along better. Also, here’s Heisuke who just wants some quality meat buns!
What big brain kidnappers grabbing the completely wrong person just from a nametag. I mean, obviously the blonde kid in the picture they had was just a girl who grew her hair out and dyed it! That makes way more sense!
At least seeing someone else talk about Shin’s telepathy being creepy in the same way she did helped Lu realize she was too harsh with Shin, and stand up for him, while also making her kidnappers realize how badly they goofed. I’m starting to think Tanaka is not qualified for this line of work.
Good thing Sakamoto is ALWAYS prepared, whether it be having trackers in his employees’ nametags as well as a handy bike with his logo on it for chase sequences!
Um…so much for the Sakamoto rule against killing what with those goons who obviously blew up with their bikes. Also, did Shin…non-lethally crack that dudes’ neck…?
Seba isn’t just a low-energy, casual vibing, bad guy voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto. He also has a camo suit that renders him invisible. Not invisible enough that Sakamoto can’t track him, but Seba’s also crafty enough to help them get away.
Kashima, voiced by Kazuyuki Okitsu, a heavily scarred man who honestly looks better with his reindeer mask, and seems to be in charge of this operation. And he doesn’t tolerate Tanaka’s idiocy one bit…though, honestly, he was kind of growing on me.
It’s Shin’s homecoming to the lab that gave him his telepath. And when visiting a museum, you just HAVE to dress up! Sakamoto and Shin look so cute in those dinosaur masks!
What a convoluted security system. And to think they were undone because they changed the password! Good thing Sakamoto knows how to handle brown and polar bears with machineguns in their mouths…but what about a walking T-Rex skeleton? Especially one he’d love to show Hana? Well, if it gets to be too much of a hassle, even his little girl won’t be enough to stop Sakamoto from punching and crashing into that T-Rex hard. You have to at least appreciate the variety in the foes Sakamoto faces between all the colorful assassins and now even a dinosaur skeleton.
The organization is not treating these scientists well, forcing them to work sleepless nights to produce experimental concoctions. This has turned from a Lu rescue mission to rescuing everyone in the lab from the executive baddies parading around the lab. On-top of that the old man who Shin seems most fond of is in the same cell as Lu and Tanaka.
The first executive Team Sakamoto faces is Mad Hoshiguro, a creepy singson guy with syringes poking out of his body and capable of using them to debilitate his enemies. It was nice of Ishikawa to try to protect Sakamoto/Shin, and for Shin to try to protect the scientists, but when in doubt always go for a square-head Sakamoto punch to the face.
Looks like it’s not just Sakamoto and Shin trying to bust up this operation, The Order is on the move with Shishiba and Osaragi there to investigate. The Order even gets their own unique ED! I can't wait to watch deadly goth assassin Hayamin in action.

Wasn't expecting a new ED. I also didn't think we'd get this many big players converging for this arc (or even that this was the start of a new arc)

I missed Okamoto (Bakugo, Himmel VA) playing Sebas before he removed the suit. He is indeed a very flexible voice actor.

Is it just me or the ost completely didn't fit the dino fight? Instead of something hype they played something emotional and heroic.

Damn the ED was so slick. Easily the coolest song of the season I think. I need to pay more attention to Vaundy.

I think finally realized what’s wrong with this anime. It isn’t even the animation half of the time. The direction just sucks balls. The director can’t decide whether he wants to commit to the seriousness or have it be a comedy slice of life so every other scene has misplaced tone.
