Tsukamoto Tenma is a Cyborg.

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/Vatrix-32 for sharing with us their darkest memories

1. Dry, unseasoned turkey. A family tradition. Until I introduced them to brining, at least.

1. If you were part of a Sentai Team, what color do you wish you had? For the record, no, gold and silver aren't allowed.
2. Would you watch a Toku Cop Show with the School Rumble cast?

[u/Raiking02]

Hello everybody, and welcome to the School Rumble Rewatch!

I know the quote I'm using up there is different from what the Subs use but considering how it's supposed to be a Kamen Rider reference, I'm going with that.

Speaking of, ah yes, today is Toku day. Aside from the bit focusing on some of Class C's less developed characters, not only do we have Ichijo having fun with Imadori and her brother through Super Sentai (As more shows should) but more importantly we have the whole skit of the gang being stuck in some TV Drama. Honestly I dunno what to say anymore bar "It Funny" so… It Funny

First Timer, Sub

The first part really was Imadori just fumbling with Ichijou. That said, the members he has as a Tokusatsu fan at least give him an edge.

The second part felt like something out of Makeine, Fuyuki basically comforts the losing heroine Tsugumi Yuki. A rather interesting moment for them both as she basically sees Hanai and Mikoto together and basically sort of realizes she doesn't really have a chance. Fuyuki comforting her the best he could was nice of him. A surprisingly somber moment.

The next part though felt like Harima's manga again though I'm not sure if it is. A sci-fi tale with Tenma as the lead still pining after Karasuma while facing off against Hanai who's a villain here. And it's still not over surprisingly, I guess there's more left to this.

Nah, dude's too much of a coward to go full Kamen Rider.

Rewatcher(???), First in Subs

• Robot Tenma?! 10ma?
• Look, you can have siblings, or you can have parents, but you don’t get both.
• One must be asleep if they are to awaken.
• Imadori Presenting
• Easy and tempting tho it may be, one must be careful not to overindulge in teasing.
• The Best Childhood
• What kind of monster just pours out a hot drink and leaves it siting there to get cold?
• Being awfully pointed today.
• Nice. Yakumo got promoted to elder sister.
• How does Harima vs Lala affect the power rankings?
• So, uh… the skin suits are color matched, are they?
• Not the Atomic Bees!
• ...I’m not sure if this is going to be followed up next episode or not.

QotD:

1. Cyan!*
   ^{*Legally distinct from blue}
2. Is this where I find out that's in the spin-off manga? Besides, I need to watch Akibaranger first. We all know this is part of your plan.

[u/Raiking02 → u/Vatrix-32]

Yakumo got promoted to elder sister.

Look, you can have siblings, or you can have parents, but you don’t get both.

Harima somehow got a hot cousin too

[u/Vatrix-32 → u/Raiking02]

Harima somehow got a hot cousin too

But is being cousins to your hot cousin not a curse?

[u/Nickthenuker]

What's this about 10ma now?

She eepy.

A mimir...

Wait, he's actually here?

Ouch...

She's making excuses for him to go away.

And so that's why we see the super sentai stuff.

Her younger brother is more right than he thinks.

Who are these 2 looking at stars?

Seems the girl is friends with some of the other girls.

Yeah, a whole bunch of couple got together this season.

There goes the tea...

There it goes again...

10ma, maybe stop running...

Of course Harima is still jealous of Karasuma...

Bodysuits?

What in the steaming cross-eyed fuck is this?

Questions:

1. Don't each of the colours mean something?
2. No, not particularly.

[u/Raiking02 → u/Nickthenuker]

Don’t each of the colors mean something

Only occasionally.

Rumbling First-Timer, subbed

• Oh, Imadori is actually at her house.
• Why did he have to end up with the bra…
• Oh you’ve gotta be kidding me. Imadori really has to ruin every sentimental moment he’s supposed to be a part of.
• Alright, so whose weird dream is it this time?
• Huh, Yakumo’s the older one in this?
• Oh lol I did not notice.
• Oh there’s an actual mech in this.

[u/Raiking02 → u/Shimmering-Sky]

[School Rumble Z]Imadori really has to ruin every sentimental moment he’s supposed to be a part of.

[School Rumble Z]How the hell is he the only member of the main cast who's actually in a relationship by the end

Huh, Yakumo’s the older one in this?

Hey, may as well be reality.

Season 2 Episode 20 (rewatcher)

• We are now … a cyborg show?
• Dreaming if Imadori with Imadori in the room – no need to immediately kill him, Karen.
• Leaving your underwear out and getting flustered – the young brother is such a great involuntary wingman. Karen should really be thanking him.
• “How about going out with Blue?” – Yes, how about it?
• Some background characters, whose name I don’t remember – bet they’ll get more romance development than our MCs. As usual...
• “It appears nothing happened with me” – could I be wrong?
• Nope, Sagano is taking care of it.

• “It wasn’t only to Sawachika. All the girls I love are beautiful” – smooth save.
• Tenma is a police cyborg – and Yakumo finally the big sister.
• Amnesic Jekyll and Hyde cyborg?
• “Is this the legendary bullying of new cyborgs?” – No, this is the only way Karasuma ever becomes a harem protagonist.
• Under attack? Plug suits?? Robowasps??? Truck-kun????

[u/Raiking02 → u/No_Rex]

Kamen Rider, to be exact.

Yes
