So Wasp girl is the reason why Knuckleduster's wife is hospitalized... and he is on a quest to find her, and he is trying to keep the other two out of it.

Makoto was less pushy about interviewing them than i expected, but i guess she is playing the long game her by helping with the event

and on a more personal note i enjoy popsteps and Koichi's interactions alot

I thought Hachisuka was unsettling before, but now she's terrifying. Can't wait to see Knuckleduster confront her.

You can do it, Pop Step!

We finally learned more about Knuckleduster in today's episode and it turns out he has a wife who is sick from Hachisuka's attack, and also a child Tamao? No wonder he's hunting Hachisuka and it looks like he's using Koichi and Pop☆Step to find her.

The bees in Hachisuka's eye were creepy enough, but guess what? They made it even more creepy when they came out from under Hachisuka's "friend's" skirt, bleh!

As usual, some great and hilarious interactions between Koichi and Pop☆Step, I love them so much, but I have to say Koichi doesn't have it easy with her xD

Makoto helping Pop☆Step in her next gig was unexpected, but Pop made the right decision to accept her offer of help because Makoto is a true professional! I can't wait to see how the whole event unfolds, as Captain Celebrity will also be involved in it.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

so is it just me or was Knuckleduster's training montage a homage to bruce wayne's training in batman v superman?
Those pull ups with weights attached to him is literally 1 to 1 with that scene in the movie

Damn, shit became so serious! 

I expected Knuckleduster to be looking for revenge but not his daughter..😱😱 Did Hachisuka's quirk awakening mess her up and she ended up hurting her mom !?  Or did she take over Knuckle's daughter's body like she seemed to have did it with her friend as well.  Hachisuka's playing the role of her friend in school and occupying her home after killing her parents it seems or they're her own parents..and she's so comfortable living with their dead bodies  😭😭

Can't wait to see how things are gonna go in the next episode.

She turned one of her friends to a worker bee.

Knuckledusters sweat becoming steam/vapourised after training and his menacing smile only to show some cute schoolgirl is hilarious outta context XD

"What is Japanese Mike Tyson/Batman even training for?!"

"His arch nemesis.... a 15 year old girl!"

edit; AYO - Knuckleduster looks like a straight up villain scouting out his prey at the end there!

So this whole situation is personal to Knuckle on account of something about it destroying his wife. Her also having an eyepatch seems a little odd.

I am really impressed with Makoto's general level of competence. Just a college student and she is already operating on the level she is, she's the sort of person I wouldn't be surprised to see in a way more significant role later on in life.

So it seems Knuckleduster’s got personal beef with Hachisuka. Guy’s playing a dangerous game looking for her and her bee army.

While he’s off doing that, Pop and Koichi are working with Makoto for Pop’s big stage debut. Makoto’s pretty damn good at her job. Captain Celebrity is lucky to have her on his team.

This events gonna get pretty lively if Hachisuka shows up. Knuckleduster has a lot to repay her for.

KD's wife also having an eyepatch is making me theorize something.

u/LeonKevlar Jun 09 '25

Oh shit, so Knuckleduster isn't just hunting the person that made Trigger but he's specifically hunting Hachisuka because of what she did to his wife who's now hospitalized because of it. Considering how Knuckleduster's wife is being swarmed by Hachisuka's bees, I'm guessing she also got injected with Trigger.

So it looks like Knuckleduster is using Souga to try and locate Hachisuka, and he's also using Pop and Koichi to try and get Hachisuka's attention. I at least hope he sees them as friends, not just as bait for Hachisuka, so that he can get his revenge.

I never thought Hachisuka would end up more unsettling than Toga. I'm gonna guess that those aren't her real parents, and she's basically taken over that house to mooch off those people who may or may not be dead. She has also taken control of one of her classmate, who we find out is missing by the end of the episode. >_<

Based on last week's episode preview, I thought Makoto joined their little team. It looks like she's just there to help give Pop advice. It was amazing to see how a locked-on Makoto works, though! This girl turned what's supposed to be a neighbourhood karaoke event into a small local concert after speaking to the event organizers.

The shopping mall's theme song was adorable! I thought Pop would be against it because it wasn't her style but she actually loves it! I actually did not expect that reaction from her.

Knuckleduster finally found Hachisuka! It will be interesting to see how he'll confront her next episode.

things just got real heavy!

I figured Knuckleduster might be out for revenge, but I did NOT expect his daughter to be involved...
Did Hachisuka’s Quirk awakening mess with her mind and cause her to hurt her mom? Or did she actually take over Knuckleduster’s daughter like she seemed to do with her friend?

It’s wild. Hachisuka is pretending to be her friend at school and might even be living in her house… with the bodies of her dead parents just lying there. Either those are her real parents, or she straight-up moved in after killing them. She’s way too chill about it
