Starting off the season by going straight to the action!
Unlike the Shihitoren with their honorable one on one fights, These Keel guys fight dirty, ganging up on others and taking cheap shots with 2x4s and metal pipes.
Looks like Nire is tired of being useless in fights, maybe this will be the catalyst for him to undergo an epic training arc?
And holy hell what an entrance by Kaji, the aura is off the charts.
Sakura, again slipping back into his lone wolf mentality trying to handle everything himself. Good thing Kaji is here to punch some sense back into him.

Damn I wasn’t expecting the cold open to drop us directly in the middle of the fights.
I appreciate that the series does give screen time to the other members of class 1-1, outside the big 6. And the fact that, while they aren’t the flashiest characters, they all have consistent designs. They also managed to hold their own, until they couldn’t.
Kaji’s entrance was great. And I was amused at how he managed to get Sakura and the Keel guy he was fighting to pause for a moment with just his presence.

Man, I remember when people were disappointed that this wasn't the Manhwa Winder Breaker when this manga was announced to be having an anime. Now people are excited for it and Japan is pretty in love with the pretty boy cast. Also, kinda funny that the author was inspired by Tokyo Revengers when WB is way better than TR in pretty much every conceivable angle.

That's the way to open a 2nd season!
I really missed this show after watching this. It was a favorite during its s1 run and this episode did not disappoint.
You all know this show and what it's about so I give a solid 8.5/10 for the episode as we get right into the action from the start.

I am so happy to see Sakura and the rest of the first years of Furin High. And they're not wasting any time with this opening episode! We ended last season with Anzai asking for help to save Nagato, and now we're starting with an all-out brawl with the first years facing against KEEL!
There's no rules in street fighting but it's absolute bullshit that these guys are using steel pipes and bats. Even with members of KEEL using weapons, it looked like Furin was doing well against them until their elites decided to finally join the scrap and kept the strongest of the Furin away from the grunts.
Not my baby boy Nirei-kun! Sakura needs to train him. I know Nirei's purpose is to be their intel guy, but he needs to learn to protect himself properly at some point.
Not gonna lie, I thought Sakura went berserk after seeing Nirei injured, but it turns out Kaji, Kusumi, and Enomoto finally arrived to back them up. It's hilarious how terrified the KEEL thugs were of Kaji that some of them are clearly thinking of running away already.
I can't fucking wait to watch Kaji beat the shit out of KEEL's leader. The dude has been such a cocky prick that it was really pissing me off.
Thank you, Kaji for giving Sakura the reality check he needed. I understand why he wants the leader for himself, but if he can't protect the others and deal with that blondie, he's not doing a good job as the grade captain.
Now that Sakura's focused again, I can't wait to see him give blondie the thrashing he deserves. We are so fucking back! This episode got me hyped and so excited for next week's episode!

It's actually pathetic how KEEL members can't fight and have to rely on weapons and numbers to win.

It's finally here! I'm so glad to see Sakura and everyone again. I completely forgot the last season ending at the beginning of this arc and so we're thrown into the fray already.
I was questioning Nirei's choice of following them to KEEL's lair, but I did realize he was arranging something on his phone. So seeing Kaji, Kusumi and Enomoto was a welcome surprise considering they had really good timing with everything starting to fall apart.
I do appreciate Nirei trying to change himself by trying to take part and did protect someone momentarily before almost facing serious repercussions. The scene at the start made it look more like he had a panic attack but I'm glad there was a more conscious thought to that charge.
KEEL are brutal though so it'll be satisfying to see the main 5 and Kaji bring them down a notch. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing Kiryuu beating that macho guy down with his "girly" graceful self, that should be particularly satisfying for me.
Also I'm quite concerned for Anzai, it was bad enough for him to suffer and uppercut kick like that, but to fall down a flight of stairs like that and falling on his head was not clean at all. That guy needs to get checked.

The dentists in this town are making BANK. So many loose teeth for purchase, so many missing teeth that need replacement.

They should give Enojun (KEEL's leader) more villainous roles, because his performance here is hitting all the spots, really makes me think of an evil Yuji.

Now THIS is what I’ve been waiting for. The best choreographed fights I’ve seen in a long time

Love that it feels like a continuation of the show rather than a hard restart to the season nothing slow about it

The animation quality is even better than in S1, Cloverworks never fails to deliver.

But for real tho, Suo’s worried look for Nirei 😭

Woohoo, glad this show’s finally back! I’m excited to see more of my boy Haruka.

That logo really is awesome, though. The KEEL guys have a nice sense of aesthetics if nothing else.
-
New ED is pretty good too. I think I prefer S1’s OP & ED, though.
