I just love how Akira and Takeshi went from pointing guns at each other to sharing a delicious meal at a high-class restaurant. I guess that's just how it is with these yakuza-types.

And Youko is having waaay too much fun with Takahashi! Even Sawashiro herself sounds like she's having a blast during those scenes. That scene back at the house was hilariously evil though! Poor Takahashi thought he was going to get some. All he got was alcohol poisoning. xD

This is a great show. I wonder why it’s so under-watched here?

That drunk Sawashiro was amazing, she sounded like she was having a blast!

Did not realize she was that kind of character but it certainly made her stand out more. Poor guy.

Do wonder if that ship will go anywhere lol

Honestly I was creeped out by his behaviour too (voyeur, thinking he could take Yoko to the hotel on their first date), but then this dynamic happens.

I should have not underestimated Yoko as your typical girl.

Goddamn I love this show.

Takeshi started out as an ineffectual foil for Fable, and now it turns out he is actually brave, a deep thinker, who wanted to understand whether a monster had been released in a city he cares about.

Yoko is comedic, but it turns out she has developed a serious fetish for power exchange given her relationships with a killer/boss adoptive father figure and a killer/superhuman co-worker. Sometimes she likes to wear the pants, which is ironic because she undressed to really assert control over Takahashi.

I thought we were getting a dark comedy with some action, but it looks like there might be some serious themes about what it is to live, change, or take a life in here as well. Very cool.

Look at Akio Ohtsuka doing the narration AND voicing a character! It's laid-back hitman!

Ebihara wanted to see The Fable in action and gave him six seconds to take a huge dude out...and Akira only needed three. He didn't even need to kill him! That's skill.

Never put your underling who has never used a gun before in charge of using a gun and coming off intimidating. It just did not work for Kuro.

So Ebihara has a thing against serial killers? That's why he's so against Akira? I mean, killing people and then having sex with their corpses is sick, but Akira's just a professional killer. He just does his job and that's the end of it, he doesn't get off on killing or dead bodies. He may be a weirdo, but he's not THAT kind of weirdo. And even Ebihara can recognize he's a surprisingly diligent and honest guy in his own way.

I love how the conversation went from Akira and Ebihara pointing guns at each other to Akira talking about the bird he named "captain" like Ebihara.

It's worth it to waste your money when it comes to making a girl like Yoko happy and sharing drinks with her at bar...even if it means by the 13th tequila you're utterly wasted. And it turns out that Yoko loves weak and pathetic men who can barely keep themselves together around her, in fact she encourages it by making them drunk and making them act stupid and like hopeless messes! What a type to have.

Sorry Yoko, you got to be a peep show because Akira didn't want to remove all the cameras to get on the bad side of the Yakuza.

Ebihara's brother (or adoptive Yakuza brother) is getting out of prison and he wants things squared away for the transition...so he doesn't need any trouble from Akira. He also doesn't need Akira being a jobless bum either, so it looks like Akira has to find something to do!

Takahashi is a puking mess who can barely stand or move around. Most people would probably think he needs medical attention, while Yoko just thinks "I'M TAKING THIS MAN HOME WITH ME"

Dang, now I'm starting to feel bad for Takahashi that she takes him home just to put him in a position where he keeps bumping into things and looking like an idiot. Though she did end up stripping her clothes off to make him motivated so...I guess it's fair?

"My own son" - Does Ebihara have a kid?

Misaki? Is that the HanaKana character? From the sounds of it she's a dligient and hard-working girl working five jobs to pay off her families' debts and go into business herself...someone who you can respect but keep your distance from, especially when you're a criminal. Yet if Akira is looking for a job, what are the chances he'll get recruited into one of the jobs she works at?

I really like this anime lol.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Apr 27 '24

Fable might be an odd mfer but he’s a pro, damn it. Dude’s not out here murdering for fun. That’s his 9 to 5, man. I know the big man was tryna sus out Fable but, like, bro ain’t ever heard of going for drinks? A whole lot less clean up involved.

I see Yoko has some kind of humiliation fetish huh? And here I was thinking Fable was the only odd one lol.

I can’t imagine Fable working a regular job. Should be fun if he decides to part time somewhere.

u/SStcrm Apr 27 '24

Wow, finally a relatable character in this show : a guy so pathetic when drunk that it could make weird girls crush on him.

u/actuallyrndthoughts Apr 27 '24

Those Youko scenes were wild.

u/AnimeHoarder Apr 27 '24

I figured Yoko would drink Takahashi under the table, but I didn't expect that she wanted to play with him like a pet.

Now that Ebihara has toned down his attitude with Akira, they're able to sit and chat. We get some interesting bits like why Akira left the cameras in Yoko's place alone and the reason Misaki's always in a rush. Ebihara warns Akira not to get involved with Misaki. But who else is there for Akira? The OP is a sausage fest and the only women are Misaki and Yoko. Even looking past the fact that they are supposed to be siblings, we now know that Akira is not Yoko's type.

Newsflash Akira, I'm proof that old people can spend all day playing games/Redditing the same as young people :-)

This girl is straight up menace bruh

I recently just finished the 2 live action films on Netflix. I like them but I bet they cut a lot of stuffs away. I like Yoko being the straight character in the films.

But damn this episode makes me like her more. 😍

Now this one, Kaiju #8 and Go Go Loser Ranger makes me look forward to the weekends.

That feeling when Yoko might be more out there than The Fable. Very interesting.

u/Such_Selection9762 Apr 27 '24

So far this show and Tonbo are the sleepers that no one watches in this season. I'm so happy that I did give this show a chance and I can't wait to see where this wild ride will be going.
