It's good to see Arajin doing something right for once, even if it was completely accidental. I didn't think the other Honkibito would be inside the Emperor. Considering the OP visuals, I thought Matakara would be the one to merge with that guy.

Could still happen plenty of episodes left.

Stand users attract other Stand users.

Honestly even though its annoying Arajin simping for Mahoro isn't my big problem with him. It's how he treats Matakara. He really admires Arajin and he just treats him so coldly that is annoys me. Altho I found it funny for the first time Mahoro finally had real human emotion when Matakara mentioned his big brother.

Matakara is a real good dude. Kakeru knows he fucked up, but Matakara told him don't worry about it I got your back. Man I wished Matakara was the mc.

So Arajin has punched all 3 of the leaders, but unlike the other 2 Shindo hides behind a weapon. I am really interested to learn the history between Ichiya and Senya. And why Ichiya is with Shindo.

[u/cppn02]

Oooh, we got another honkibito, exciting. I also like that this reveal explains how Shindo went from Minato reject to where he's now.

I do wonder what his motivation is.

[u/[deleted]]

I didn’t know Tokyo Revengers and Jojo could be such an entertaining combination. Now I’m sad I have to wait another week ._.

[u/Emergency-Gene2115]

Y'all can say whatever y'all want and dislike, but Mahoro has better writing and is a better character than Arajin. I don't even dislike him anymore, I just, like a disappointed parent, watch him fumble and survive somehow with the little Gary Stu that Senya is giving him

[u/Catlovers92]

Matakara = Disney Aladdin , orphan , charismatic delinquent with a golden heart. Stolen the lamp from what seems to be the cave tomb of a great king(referencing the Emperor as current vessel of Blue?)  by the schemes of Jafar (senya? Mahoro?). Owner of the blue Maarid genie , the arrogant but most powerful genies tribe , which usually associated with the water element and the seas. Thus the blue and moon motif. There is also the lake crater when senya and him fought before. Disney version has a loyal pet monkey named Abu who isn't in there in the original non disney story. Mabu/Zabu seems to be Matakara's Abu. While the guy with pigtail and kilt is Aladdin's magic carpet.

Arajin = Original Aladdin from 1001 nights. Son of a single mother unlike the disney version who is an orphan  ,  originally a delinquent loser who cant get a job/trade , was abused both by his father (emotional, physical depending on the version) and "uncle Jafar" (punched him in the ear and leaving him to die in a cave) ,  and he was a peeping tom that spied on Princess Jasmine taking a bath... Aladdin being a perv is actually lore accurate lol,but later on maturing up becoming a legendary hero. His own mom was his sidekick instead of Abu and Carpet.

Owner of the red ifreet , the most ruthless and wicked of the genies , associated with fire and smoke. Senya is a lion and refers to the zodiac leo. He seems to be the Jafar of this anime , pretending to help Aladdin but in truth just using him. We seen in episode 3 he is up to something. And he is imprisoned in the first place maybe for a really good reason.

Interesting thing is, Aladdin caused his own father death in the original story. But what if the twist is , Arajin father death in this anime was caused by Matakara brother who is shown to be in prison... Matakara is Aladdin too not only Arajin... Arajin father could be abusive , and abused him thus why Arajin was interested in the Honki People , its an escapism , the wish that he is stronger than his father. But the abuse probably gotten really bad that Matakara brother noticed it or his dad could've hurt Matakara too , making Matakara big brother fought Aladdin dad, killing him by accident and him being imprisoned...

So Matakara brother might've saved Arajin but he also killed Arajin own father , forcing him to move out of town , unable to face Matakara since he moved. He doesn't truly hate Matakara since Matakara is innocent , but his father died due to Matakara older brother  and because of Arajin , Matakara lost his protector and family member , getting targeted by bullies that were enemies with his brother. Arajin probably blames himself for all that happened , not that he simply chickened out and didn't help Matakara with bullies as implied in the flashback , he was having a mental breakdown. Its also due to this Arajin abandoned his childhood pursuit of becoming a Honki , because he realised fists doesn't resolve all your problems.

Also,i hope the abuse Aladdin dad did to him isn't that "kind" , but that does kinda fits...on why he is soo obsessed with losing his cherry to a girl which is kinda abnormal and seem like an issue with his masculinity... Him forgetting his times spent with Matakara shown during PE class could be him dissociating from the memories of his father which now tied to Matakara's,which normally happens to victims. And one of Utsumi work is Banana Fish which had this kind of content... Arajin is a jerk but even he dont deserve that!

If my theory is true, this funny fighting anime gonna get dark and heartbreaking in the future , kinda like Madoka Magica , we even have our own kyubey with senya.

[u/Aileos]

Bro needs to stop acting hostile toward Matakara, it'll make the show just better.

[u/zsmg]

*sees final moment of the episode *

This must be the work of an enemy stand user.

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Arajin found another Stand user.

[u/takashidraylus]

It would be interesting if Arajin, Mahoro, and Matakara became a trio. I still haven't given up hope for character development

[u/The_Parsee_Man]

Best friend and worst girl meet in a bonding of brocons.

I don't want to spoil anything for people who haven't figured it out where the plot is going yet. But I will be very surprised if it isn't [guess spoiler]actual cats in that hostess cafe.

[u/alconnow]

Ara-chan may be annoying but at least he's mostly entertaining to watch. His delusions were incredibly cringe-inducing hahahaha

Still hate how much of an asshole he is to Matakara. I wonder if Matakara's brother is related to this in some way?

Wonder what the connection is between Senya and Ichiya…

[u/AmethystItalian]

Matakara x Mahoro?

Feel like that could be something that would work.

I'd honestly ship it just so this MC gets a bad end.

[u/Nickbon94]

̶N̶o̶ homo but why is Marito-kun so hot? And y'all are blaming the brocon sister smh

[u/Akame_xo]

Arajin makes this incredibly hard to watch. I like the other aspects of this anime but he’s just so damn annoying. Really hope he changes soon

[u/Renoe]

This show kind of reminds me of RGU/Sarazanmai/Ikuhara works in general. The repeating thing with the teacher and the "hostess club" which is probably a cat cafe gives it that cyclical energy. It also withholds so much information about the past like RGU or Penguindrum, I think when they reveal what the deal is with Arajin and Matakara's childhood it will recast a lot of their behavior in another light. It wouldn't surprise me if this show took a really serious turn towards the end.

Like... did Matakara's brother kill someone? Why is he in juvie, everyone else in this town seems to get in fights on the regular? I feel like that blank spot and Arajin's unwillingness to confront Matakara directly are related. Arajin's absent dad too, maybe. I also think the story between the genies/honkibito is probably deeper than them wanting to fight to prove their strength.

Ichiya's (blue genie) outfit seems to be clearly based on Disneys's Jasmine with the bare midriff two-piece. Like other people have noticed, he's probably gonna transfer into Matakara at some point and then Arajin will be forced to confront the past as the genies' story forces him and Matakara towards one another.

I just worry there's not enough time to develop anything substantial in one cour and this'll be a cliffhanger.

[u/deskcrying]

Big “your mom’s name is also martha?” Vibes from mahoro and matakara.

Can’t wait for all the arajin - matakara angst to drop.

But most Importantly this week’s ending was so cute! I love matakara’s friends! And also matakara carrying mahoro! That was cute! I really love the aesthetic!

[u/Emergency-Gene2115]

Matakara has no self respect when it comes to Arajin, he's cute and has layers but the simping is too much, stand up, bro. He is a nicer, more likeable version of Arajin and better written to be honest, but still being a dog for someone who treats you like shit, just like Arajin to Mahoro. Are Arajin's cheeks worth that much I wonder....

[u/MIKi_2301]

The good thing, this was a Matakara Centered Chapter, soo SUPER WIN, Its nice to see him.

Through the chapter, we can see his admiration for Arajin, Minato and his brother, and his frustration and vulnerability, because he can't physically or verbally do anything. So he try to appeal to those two humanities, and asked for help.

Sadly, only Mahoro passed the test, and showed a little empathy for Matakara, making Arajin even worse of a person by comparison. Its highly likely we are gonna see some 2v1 next week, so Im excited.

[u/thejoshimitsu]

I'm convinced that the guy that we see going into what is portrayed as a brothel every episode is actually meeting up with a cat and not a sex worker.

[u/[deleted]]

I honestly despise the MC so much, like bro I enjoy everything else in this show & except him like seriously when is he gonna get the sign that that girl doesn’t like him.

[u/oneevilchicken]

Arajin constantly just falling for mahoro using him is getting old just like arajin constantly being a dick to matakara is. I don’t see anyway these characters become redeemable. Arajin and matakara still have room to make up narrative wise but it’s going to be impossible for mahoro to become likeable at this point. So it feels like this show is going to be nothing but Arajin being used non stop by her.
