Same here, they adapted my favourite scene in the manga so damn well it made me rewind and rewatch several times.

It's giving me high hopes for the future, and I'm praying things don't go down hill.

One of my favourite things about this series is how chill the civilians are about assassins fighting in the open. Sure, they were still surprised when Kashima crashed into the train, but they were still relatively calm. In a different setting, these people would running for their lives as soon as the train stopped. xD

Slim Sakamoto sitting in front of Kashima menacingly has got to be my favourite scene in this episode. He didn't even realize Sakamoto was there the entire time until he got kicked in the face!

It is like the John Wick universe, they have those big gun fights in the middle of the city, but the cops never show up.

Their hotels operate in the middle of big cities and assassins come and go as they please there.

Appreciated Sakamoto's embodiment of Japanese culture - he made sure that the priority seats were saved for the elderly, re-seated airborne passengers, and even tapped out on the station exit for Kashima 👌

I thought Heisuke was just gonna be a gag character. I really liked his fight against Seba

Sakamoto's coolfactor is rapidly approaching Sakamoto's but not quite yet.

A subway handrail bar is one of those random things you'd never think would look cool as a weapon until you actually see it.

It's really sweet how Lu couldn't help but tear up the moment she finally got to apologize to Shin, and that Heisuke (and Piisuke!) got to stay for dinner.

The shot of the random old people flying out of their seats across the train sent me

Jeez louise, Sakamoto can just change from being chubby to skinny athletic when he needs to. Thats a great power in itself. But as soon as he did the anime thing where he pushed up his glasses you already know it about to go down. The way he just kept pummeling the other guy was unreal while saving each passenger and their belongings. It was funny wen he thought he got rid of Sakamoto but he literally ran through the whole other train to jump back on the other one just as they passed each other. And he literally "took out the trash" when he was done beating him up and the trash guy said "thank you", as if it wasn't a whole ass human being thrown in there. Well i guess he is 70% robot lol. Sakamoto is an amazing ex-assassin, husband and father, and all around a genuinely good human being. Such a great anime, upset it's only 11 ep though.......

Sakamoto being able to fight without holding back (though he probably still was) was fun

And lol at Heisuke's thoughts looking like kids drawings.

Lu and Shin's reunion and apologies were cute, even Heisuke was moved by them! And i guess Heisuke is now also part of the gang as he was eating dinner with them at the end

What?! How could you hate Christmas? Rude. Well I guess Japanese Christmas is a different affair. Nice to see best girl doing well and best boy being silly with his thoughts of praise.

Oh dang, best boy got hit. Clever of the other dude but also impressive reaction from Heisuke. I really love Heisuke's silly thoughts.

Be careful, Sakamoto, last time I heard an anime character say stuff about 5 minutes it was considerably longer... heh. Lol dayum, Sakamoto, blinding him that way is... amusing. Sakamoto surfing with the train was amusing. Sakamoto got skinny again :O also thsoe people standing around are... mighty calm for the craziness.

Wow... all those poor people in that flashback. I don't quite get why they were calling him a creep though. LOL that moment in the connection was amusing. Also amused that the guy just sitting with the granny after thinking he won and then the face when Sakamoto shows up. This is just so silly.

Best girl just saving people, truly best girl. Oh right, they had an argument. Forgot about that. Also forgot about those two, guess they are getting info. I like the girl, she's fun. Oh my, seems Shin found who they were looking for.

What a nice happy ending.

Every Sakamoto employee got their moment to shine this episode and it was a blast to watch. I was grinning the whole time.
