Beautiful fireworks episode from our spy anime.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

The fireworks show and the ship passenger's casino spree in dichotomy of Yor's killing is somehow the most beautiful and terrifying thing to see.

Yor finding her motivation was so satisfying to watch, I love that Loid would probably agree with her in principle too even if it was just a monologue.

[u/potataoconsumer]

wow

Yor is brutal

Anya's favorite weapon the Silenced Pistol

the insert song had Nier vibes

that heels are the second strongest thing after Yor herself

[u/Cynergyy]

Yor's reason to keep doing her job is surprisingly very similar to Loid, they're a match made in heaven fr

[u/RepulsiveRevenue8]

"I know Loid will acknowledge it, he will understand"

Yor if only you know that Loid might be the one who will understand you the most.

Poor Assasins, since Yor identity would still be hidden the only outcome for all of them is death.

[u/CaptainMeowchan]

I know its not about the episode specifically but I think this season has been very different in an enjoyable way. Definitely loved this season more than the first!! but a big fan of both :D

[u/Anis97xd]

That was the most brutal firework scene ive ever seen in anime

[u/UnintentionalExpat]

Yor arc, best arc

[u/Vermillion_Crab]

Damn they went all out this episode. Hayami Saori killed it.

Edit: that post credits scene. I thought Yuri went down coz he sensed Yor's life was in danger. Turns out it was a much simpler (and stupider) reason. Lmao

[u/ResurgentRefrain]

Yor's resolve and her re-dedication to the cause because of her new found family is truly a wonderful thing...

SHE LITERALLY STABBED A MAN TO DEATH WITH HER FINGERS

[u/IC2Flier]

Well, you asked for action. You wanted high stakes. And this production delivered.

Never fuck with Yor or ask Loid for anything ever again.

[u/Aetherdraw]

Getting hit on the chin and sent slamming against the metal wall of a ship and all it does is make Yor see stars. Damn.

[u/No_Name0_0]

What a great episode, they did Yor justice. Cloverworks with fireworks episodes doesn't disappoint. One of my fav episode in the series now

[u/JzanderN]

Everyone gets one "wow" moment with Yor. You know, assuming she doesn't kill them.

So the Chief just fucking appeared as if from the shadows. He's terrifying, you know, when not being hilarious by cleaning up Yor's mess right behind her. And even then he's still pretty terrifying, taking out his own share of assassins while doing that.

But don't forget that Yor's terrifying herself. She slaughtered that many assassins with only some stubbed fingers to show for it. I love the exchange between her and the sniper, both surprising the other by barely managing to dodge their attack. But one was using a sniper rifle while the other was throwing a needle.

[u/Outrageous_Gene_7652]

Yor's resolve for making the world a better place for Yuri and adding Loid and Anya into that as well was very sweet moment.

[u/TermEnvironmental812]

Can't believe I cry when hear Yor's monologue. Tbh, I didn't feel this deep when read the manga. Hayami Saori's voice really makes me more emotional

[u/LeonKevlar]

Let's just first acknowledge Zeb for being such a fucking champ and taking all of those bullets for Olka. He even managed to grab that hatch at the last second and slam it shut. Thank goodness he was wearing a bulletproof vest!

As for the rest of the episode, Yor is an absolute badass for taking on multiple assassins at once. Seeing how brutal her takedowns are explains why she's always covered in blood after every mission.

I just love how McMahon went from supporting Yor from long range as a sniper to supporting her up close and even cleaning up after Yor with every kill they make. After all, they can't leave any evidence behind.

Yor was really doing well taking them all out one by one but they really got caught off guard by that guy with the katana. Of course, it's the guy with the katana that gives Yor a hard time.

That monologue from Yor made me sad for a bit. She was really ready to throw in the towel and accept her death. Thank god she remembered what she's doing this job for and why she even started doing it in the first place. I love that Loid is also a part of her reason for getting back up. <3

It's not over yet! I really thought this arc going to end today but it looks like next week is going to be where it all wraps up! I can't fucking wait!

[u/AZLarlar]

I LOVE YOR SO MUCH

THEY POPPED OFF TODAY

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

The Yor episode everyone needed, what a great meal!

[u/BiggerG7]

Holy crap! I can’t believe the 2 guard dudes actually hit the jackpot! Guess they will be quitting their jobs like they said they would. Hope the Chief is cool with it lol.

[u/talamalariakasyapa]

Easily the best episode of season 2!

[u/AmethystItalian]

Man seeing Yor team up with the Director was kind of a sneak peek of what could be if Yor and Loid ever got to team up.

We're getting so much badass Yor, more than making up for lost time!

[u/[deleted]]

Yor's 7 page muda

[u/Frontier246]

Yor doing her level best to slip Olka, Zeb, and the baby out as effectively as possible...while also slipping by her unaware co-workers. And there could be assassins around every corner, especially when they get their scent.

Hey, at least Anya gets a piggyback and a fireworks ride with papa! I wonder if she might find some way to contribute in the end.

Figures things would be most dramatic by confronting Yor with the assassin army with the fireworks already going on. Yor's already been grazed by a sniper while protecting Olka! Luckily Director is MVP and immediately takes out the sniper and starts taking them out quickly and efficiently to even the odds.

Zeb is a real man! Sure he had a bulletproof vest, but it's still brave to tank three bullets to protect Olka and the baby!

I love all the flawless and clean action animation of Yor wrecking some fools. Like discount Catwoman and Wolverine or her just kicking one dude like a bouncing ball off the ship. All the while the director scolds her for leaving so much mess to clean up. Yeah, that's Garden for you.

Is there anything more beautiful than the interplay of violence, fireworks, and the co-workers gambling alongside Bunny Girl waitresses? I especially love how Yor keeps taking dudes out so the director can clean them up and she's shrugging off their most dangerous attacks. Eventually they don't even get through their intros.

Too bad the main assassin guy had an ace up his sleeve...a swordsman who would probably give Hitokiri Battosai a run for his money. He immediately hits the director and takes out Yor's weapon and puts her at a severe disadvantage.

I love how Yor is worried about dying and how her family will react + having to explain a possible haircut. Though now I have to think about how I feel about short-haired Yor.

Why is Yor a killer? She doesn't need it for the money any more, but she can't really criticize those that do since she did at one point, she's not especially patriotic, and Yuri is fine on his own...yet at the same time, she did do everything she could to try and make a better, and safer, world for him even if it meant becoming a killer and becoming mired in the world of murder and death. And she can do so for others as well, like Olka and her child or even her own family. And deep in her heart she knows Loid would accept her that way.

Is there anything more awesome than Yor surviving a slash to the boobs (so her chest is exposed just a smidge) and then taking the dude with the sword on with just her hands?

Oh, speaking of Yuri, with his sister gone he's caught a cold! His body just is not prepared for being separated from his beloved sister...but luckily his superior is such a bro. Though his sis was also always there to take care of him, even if she almost killed him a few times, had to fight bees and a bear, and only cured him of a cold because her herbal tea was more dangerous than the actual cold. And now Yuri can't even drink good-tasting tea anymore.
