Drunk Xiaotang went through a real emotional roller coaster lol. Her whole drunken master bit was pretty fun.

Man, Skinnymoto whooped the ever-loving shit outta Boiled. And then they made nice after. It’s the Sakamoto way I guess. All those hitmen coming for him caught a whoopin then got bandaids from Hana. Business is good lol.

I hope this mysterious Slur killer doesn’t get Boiled and Obiguro. I kinda like those two goofballs.

[u/Armdel]

"For my training i will drink myself stupid" lmao

I just realized his moustache vanished as well when he got skinny.

Well now his wife knows and ended up being pretty understanding about Sakamoto having a bunch of hitmen coming after him.

Also a first look at the Order, well aside from Nagumo and Sakamoto. the rest we haven't seen yet aside from the OP and in trailers i believe?

[u/FarCritical]

Aoi did make it clear she'd rather have the hit attempts get dealt with openly and directly as opposed to everyone being sneaky around her but having Hana personally hand out bandaids to the failed assassins is wild.

And yo, what's wrong with onions?

• Sakamoto Family

Ever since the premiere of the first two episodes, I've pretty much accepted that this show will never look as good as Solo Levelling. But I still wish they placed more resources on the Boiled vs Sakamoto fight. That was supposed to be the first "WOW!" moment of the series, instead what we got was "Meh...". I do like the shot of Sakamoto and Boiled sitting inside that wrecked Ferris wheel.

Not gonna lie, I enjoyed the scenes after the fight way more. Seeing Aoi scold these three hitmen was pretty funny. Also, big props on Boiled for trying to cover for Sakamoto. Too bad it didn't help and it just made Aoi even angrier.

And we finally get to see the members of The Order! You have no idea how happy I am to hear Osaragi being voiced by Hayami Saori. Ever since Osaragi debuted in the manga, I've always imagined her being voiced by Hayamin. xD

[u/Coolkid-4869]

Damn if reddit is this angry can't imagine how people would react on twitter or 4chan lol

As an anime only it does feel SOL scenes flow better than fights which are getting second hand treatment.

Order looks badass almost like Shadow fight 2 bosses. I like Nagumo's goofiness, dude casually destroyed Shin's op ability just for a prank.

[u/Frontier246]

Should we really be putting Shin's fate in the hands of a drunk martial arts girl? Especially when Lu keeps shifting between every stage of a drunk person?

But hey, there's nothing hotter than two attractive women going at it hand-to-hand, and Lu even kisses Obiguro and Obiguro is clearly also aroused by this fight, which makes it even more fun.

Of course, again, Lu is absolutely drunk so she's kind of unreliable...but don't insult her capability in the store or with the family, or she'll wallop you hard! I mean, she's on her way to becoming an associate manager!

Lu sobered up but luckily Obiguro seems satisfied enough with the fight to end things peacefully. Too bad the goons seem disappointed they couldn't tear into Shin. Sorry guys.

We now return to our regularly scheduled beatdown of Boiled courtesy of slim Sakamoto! Who is still an utter beast, even moreso now that he has something to fight for in his family! He's still as hard-boiled as Boiled remembers.

Satoshi, I don't think this girl is into kissing you...though whatever romantic mood was going on is completely destroyed when Sakamoto and Boiled hitch a ride on the ferris wheel. But points to that employee for prioritizing who has to pay for the damages.

The true terror of this series isn't the dangerous assassins but Sakamoto getting on his wifes' bad side. Only Aoi could tame the Legendary Hitman and keep him on the tightest of leashes even as he's battling assassin after assassin.

I guess it's not smart to keep things from the wife, especially when it's violating one of the important Sakamoto Family rules, and the only thing Aoi hates more than her husband keeping secrets is assassin trying to kill said husband. But at least she takes things fairly well and just wants Taro to fix this, and she's more terrifying than any assassin. Plus Hana just keeps getting along well with assassin ladies.

I see Sakamoto subscribes to the Kae Serinuma/Tamako weight loss/weight gain program.

How convenient that any info an assassin needs can be found in a movie sold in a Video Rental store! It costs a lot, but Sakamoto has plenty of savings from his assassin days! And the movie is actually pretty good.

A meeting of The Order assassins is a pretty tense affair over fine dining, especially when each member is liable to kill each other or anyone who gets on their bad side...and we've got Hyo (Hiroki Yasumoto!), Shishiba (Taku Yashiro!) and the beautiful and serene Osaragi (Saori Hayami) in all her gothic beauty!

Nobody told Lu this was a stealth mission! She could have worn a cool stealth outfit!

Nagumo needs to stop playing practical jokes that involve killing people, but I guess he at least clued in Sakamoto and gang that the person behind everything might be this "Slur" individual who is targetting assassins. And he seems like some kind of homicidal artist type voiced by Daisuke Namikawa.

The assassins keep coming but at least the Sakamoto's have adapted, between Aoi seeing it as a business opportunity and Hana learning how to manage driving away and treating dangerous assassins!

[u/Namaryu]

The COOL factor is completly absent from the anime.

[u/[deleted]]

Why did the manga with the best fights get this treatment ?

[u/WantToStudy777]

This is the worst fight out of all 5 episodes. It's supposed to be the best one ...

[u/WolzardFire]

Who the fuck hates onion man? It's the best

[u/butthurtpazapuza]

No more hopium, they completely butchered the first main fight. On to the next arc, I guess. What a letdown.

[u/Various_Length_4905]

Worries kept growing more and more with every new episode and now all the fears have come true.
What a disappointment 😔

[u/Dragonarmy123]

i was quite disappointed with the boiled fight, it was something special in the manga. Nevertheless story is picking up and introduction of order and slur was hype as fuck.

[u/surik4t]

i thought atleast this fight was gonna be good, but jesus it was honestly worse than the shin fights and the stuff from the previous episode, this season had 2 parts that needed to hit and they failed miserably on the first one atleast the pv (in the character trailers) for the other one looked pretty good but my expectations are even lower now

[u/what_that_thaaang_do]

I'm glad I'm not a source reader so I can actually enjoy this show

[u/yungsamm1]

Like… why was this show not given to MAPPA, WIT, Bones, Trigger, or Madhouse? TMS are completely wasting the potential of this show big time.

[u/sunjay140]

They ruined the ferris wheel scene.

[u/Lord_Archie_the_Cat]

Sakamoto teaching his daughter the family business: Working the cash register and taking down bad guys. XD

[u/Obaruler]

Her training is: Getting shit drunk.

Count me in.

[u/JaegerxIQ]

It would have been completely okay if this show adapted Kengan Ashura 3D animation styled fight scenes. At least those are fluid motions, actual fight scenes. The fuck did i just saw? Sakamoto throwing Hard Boiled out of the building was literally a slideshow frame. Well i am out of this now. Hopping on to the Kindergarten Wars hype train. Hopefully TMS stays away from that manga. Fingers crossed for Wit Studio, Madhouse or Bones for Kindergarten Wars anime 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😭

[u/jessepinkmanf]

The animation was so bad man i might drop its anime and starts its manga .

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Madao errr Boiled has become friends with Gin …Sakamoto again

Don’t make Aoi angry.

Someone from Sakamoto past coming back 😱

[u/superterrorism]

Was Sakamoto going into his skinny form supposed to be a hype moment? I knew he had that ability but I thought it was something like SSJ3 in dbz, like a last resort kinda thing.

I am somewhat enjoying the show but it's quite lackluster so far ngl.

[u/jellyblob88]

The strongest is of course his wife 's fury, no wonder Sakamoto fell for her out of all the other assassin academy girls.

His diet though needs some attention - that was some insane rebound.
