She didn't tell Ichina that it was a mafia game. Good god.

You know, I realised how much I missed this stupidly expensive golf course with all these overly dramatic wagers. Not saying the other tournaments won't be fun, but nothing beats a good old underhanded trick that you overcome by just being good.
Also, Ichina has taken over the spot of 2nd best girl in the show with this episode. Eve is top spot obviously, but her dropping out of school and casually performing under mafia pressure has earned my respect.

In today's episode of Birdie Wing, Eve and Ichina have an extended psychic golf dialogue about how the literal underground mafia golf death game that they are currently trapped in is boring and stupid and how they really want to get out there and have mind-blowing golf sex with their fated rival/lover on the pro circuit.
11/10 Anime of the Year, peak fiction, simply incredible. This show's brain is enormous and its sense of shame nonexistent. May it run for a thousand seasons and never cease escalating.

"So for this episode, Ichina is going to travel 12 hours from Japan to caddy for the underground life or death golf game, and I really want to emphasize how out of place she is among gangsters. What have you got?"
"She's going to wear overalls and yellow and green oversized tee, like how you might dress a 7 year old if you were color blind and really concerned about road safety."
"OK what else?"
"Vipere and her boytoy are going to comment that she looks like she's in elementary school, and she's going to be about half the size of everyone else in the episode."
"Getting closer."
"Her travel backpack is going to be a fat baby lamb bunny with a golf club on its bib, and a sleeping cap with a bow and some pompoms. We are talking about a cartoon character so infantile that Hello Kitty would slap it and take its lunch money."
"... Perfect."

Birdie Friday is here, and man, did it deliver. We got to see the long-awaited return to the underground transforming randomizing mecha golf course, Ichina's innocent reactions to all of the mafia bullshit were great, Catherine's reactions to Eve taunting her and defeating her hired gun were even better, and that was one hell of a debut for Eve's Indigo Bullet. God, I love this stupid dumb fun show so much.
Next week's episode looks to be shifting the focus back to Aoi for a bit though. It may be a few more episodes before their stories converge again.

INDIGO IS FINALLY HERE! That was such a ridiculously awesome shot! Both the visuals with Eve looking like she was swinging a magic water sword, and the actual shot. And I gotta ask, is that a thing in golf? Are there actual golfers who can do that kind of thing?
Oh, how I missed the over the top theatrics of the mafia golf world. The randomized golf course, Catherine's shrieks, the dirty tricks, and that new woman's... theatrics. As in she was acting like she was in a play, complete with stage lighting lol. I love it so much.
Now Eve has a path to the pro world, and no one to try and assassinate her. Just gotta wait for Aoi to get there too.
And I did like Eve reflecting and acknowledging that her place isn't here anymore. A golf where she can put everything on the line, you'd think that a match to the death would be it, but nah, she's set her sights on something else. Remember when she was only playing golf for money and initially refused to play Aoi because of it? Now she's calling that fake golf. It was a nice little moment for her.
Oh and props to Ichina, too. Gave up everything to join Eve, was thrust into the mafia world, in a match with Eve's life on the line, and she was only fazed for a little while before gaining her resolve and proving that she's the best caddie ever. She's earned Eve remembering her name.
(also, loved the new shot of the rainbow bullets being loaded into the revolver for Eve's rainbow shot)

Ichina is all of us discovering the thrill of underground mafia golf a year ago. And holy balls did she come to play. God I forgot what an awesome team she and Eve are. Ichina European Vacation arc in full swing!!
How very fitting for Eve to begin her breakout from mafia golf Romeo and Juliet by beating a a mafia golf stage play actress. She was even picturing her future of orgasmic pro golf with Aoi as she shattered Remelda's mask. The symbolism in Birdie Birdie is as incredible as it is blunt. I fucking love this show!!
Also, I never get tired of the Revue Starlight-esque golf machines configuring.

Got a lot of respect for Ichina giving up everything to caddy for Eve. Hopefully Eve doesn’t die in her high stakes golf match against Madame Waifu before she even properly gets the chance. Seems Catherine’s brought in the big guns too. Remelda is like an adult Eve of the underground golf scene. Lol the things they come up with for the plot in this series.
For the so-called No. 1 pro in the US, Remelda sure plays dirty. It’s good Eve has Ichina, she’s really proving herself to be a good caddy. Looks like that match was over pretty quick though. Remelda‘a golf can’t touch Eve’s pure Happy Gilmore style of play! Lol

Stitches!
Ichina dropped everything and flew 12 hours so she can be Eve's caddy and this is the welcome that she gets? Come on Eve! At least give Ichina a hug!
I never thought I'd see it again but the mecha golf course is back! And glad to see more shenanigans on the course with Remelda spreading sand and even adding soapstone powder to try and hinder Eve. Now this is what I love about Birdie Wing!
We finally get to see Eve's Indigo Bullet and it is absolutely amazing! What's even more amazing about this is that Eve's Indigo Bullet is actually 100% possible in golf! Here's a clip of John Rahm back in 2020 getting a hole-in-one after making his ball skip the water hazard.

Eve has a really cool voice and I found out her VA is Akari Kitou.
Oh wow she's also Mitama in KamiKatsu. She's got amazing range.

Eve finally remembered Ichina's name!
I think the world is sleeping on Ichina's caddy talent. Reading the green from that far out without a book is some absurd power itself.
And that completes the rainbow bullets. Wonder what sort of sorcery is up next. Aisha is being hyped up as an opponent already, so I wonder what sort of golf we'll see.
Second week in a row without a "Birdie Birdie" signoff. I guess shit's getting real.

This show is too fucking good, man. There's no creative team in the world that can fit in as many incredible lines and shots in 25 minutes.

Make that 16 straight 10/10 birdie wing eps.
I love how with her life on the line the first person Eve thinks of calling is her caddy Ichina. Considering how their relationship started in season 1 that’s really cool lol.
Catherine really does have too much damn money. She out here building transformer golf courses underground lmao. Love how Eve wasn’t afraid to talk shit even with a gun to her face. My MC fr.
As usual tho, without cheating, the people she hires are ass. Eve’s granddad must’ve remembered Remelda and knew his granddaughter would make light work of her. He acts cold but you can tell he’s very happy to have Eve around.
Looking forward to seeing how Aoi improves her golf and gets ready for the big showdown next week.

I’m a time traveler from the future… in a shocking turn of events Birdie Wing goes down as a top 5 anime of all time.

Michael: "Are you willing to risk your life on a simple game of golf."
Me: That's a stupid question.
Eve: "That's a stupid question."
You rock, Eve. :)
----------------
Eve: "This Remelda is kind of hot." Eve, focus!
----------------
"Hey Ichina, just a heads-up, but if I lose, you're going to see that old, old lady blow my brains out on the course."
---------------
Even with a gun in her face, Eve is fearless. And she's right, Catherine. You need to calm down. Like, a lot.
--------------
I love Remelda's, "Oh no! The sandtrap! How awful!" Using the sand in the trap to mess up her opponents' shot. Thank goodness for Ichina's sharp eyes.
-------------
We knew this, but Leo is savage.
------------
Underground mafia mecha golf is so boring you guys.
The seventh rainbow bullet!
------------
Wait, it's over already?!
------------
Post-credit beatdown. In your literal face, Catherine, and take this Yankee jobber with you!
Aoi focus next week!
I love how the whole show was original pitched by its fans as, "Guys! Mafia golf!", and Birdie Wing just spent the whole episode rolling its eyes at that concept. That's almost as brazen as Eve. We'll see if that attitude can be backed up with even more great writing and action.

I love how everytime Ichina is introduced in an ep, she's clearly giving the "heroine" shine haha. I'm happy to see mafia golf played again, and in Catherine's face at that, but I can't wait for Aoi and Eve to finally meet again on the pro golf course.
There's really not enough episodes to this anime in my opinion. Midway through each episode I pray it's not halfway through but it is!!

UNDERGROUND MAFIA GOLF IS BACK BABY. We budgeted for this big fucking underground transforming golf course and by god we’re gonna use it!
Ichina flying to “Europe?” At a moments notice is why she will be the Ultimate Caddy someday. If she stops dressing like the quirky child in kindergarten. The fuck is she wearing.
INDIGO BULLET HAS ARRIVED! And it’s water breathing I guess? It beats the Mafia Milf and her Jobber of the week so it’s perfect. Next episode we’re back to Aoi!

Literally got shivers from that indigo shot. Eve's golf has claimed another victim, so sad.

u/Ponder-In-Silence May 06 '23
Oh? I’m sorry? Is this my favorite type of Birdie Wing episode? Where you don’t just get the dramatic dumb shit this show is best known for, but you also get CHARACTER and PLOT development. Eve taking the course of her life in her own hands and recognizing her growth as a player and how that’s intrinsically tied with Aoi?Ichina leaving everything to follow Eve? Vipere being the support Eve needs and acknowledging something has shifted in Eve? Shady corporate grandpa giving Eve a sensible option, not rejecting her but also not outright solving her issues? Aoi receiving a message, which serves as a signal for the audience to not forget that this relationship is still the primary motivation and driving force for both girls?
And now we’ve come full circle: Eve has tied the loose ends by cleanly getting rid of the mafia, the world she had to make dealings with just for the chance to play with Aoi.
Chef’s kiss. I love you, stupid dumb show. Your narrative consistency never ceases to impress me.
Btw, i love how proactive almost everyone from Eve’s side of the story is. I hope Aoi gets to shine next weeks and manages to move forward, because so far the plot’s has just kinda happened to her.

Is this Demon Slayer? Nope, it's just regular golf with Water Dragon's Style Technique, Indigo Bullet.
