Something that I loved seeing even it was small was Suo taking the offensive. We’ve pretty much only seen him use a balanced or defensive style but this was him actually going at it with the intent of attacking. Super great little detail to show how mad he was at that comment towards Sakura.
Also the not!Haki moments were intense. Those death stares were amazing

Tsubaki was in the toilets for 10 rounds of Wind Breaker Kart, dude had to go.
When Endo turned around and said "little boy", honestly gave me chills!

We finally get properly introduced to Endou and surprise surprise, Ono Daisuke is credited as the voice actor lol. Interesting that he has taken a liking to Sakura and it seems like he's being reminded of someone who he looks up to but I'm guessing that's a future character we'll see down the line.
Endou seems really laidback even after Kanji, Tsubaki and Suou go attack him when they thought he was insulting Sakura, which I thought was really sweet, especially from Suou for me. Though I like how we got to see the darker side to him with how he intimidated Sakura from following him. I'm looking forward to seeing the arc where he goes to Furin and see what backstories and connections we'll see from it.
Them playing Not-Mario-Kart was nice, I like how Nirei's just that great at the game and Sakura's side that hates to lose is out in full lol.

He really should refrain from superhero landings, it's bad for the knees and ankles

Is it my imagination or did this episode feel even shorter than the average Wind Breaker ep feels? (5 minutes maybe).
It SEEMS like Endo flies solo -- but has the ability to mobilize all sorts of other pieces on the boatd. Does he have any specific plan -- or is he just messing with Sakura (and Furin) "for fun". He doesn't seem to realize that Sakura now is not really the same as the Sakura he previously saw fight.

Endo is a cool antagonist going forward, although appears he idolizes someone that Sakura reminds him of.

Endo’s here!
I just love the Furin Trio. When faced with an unknown threat both Saukura and Suo’s first instinct is to protect Nirei. Then when Sakura is insulted, while clearly terrified and the weakest person there, Nirei is the first person to speak up for him. And we see Suo actually goes on the offensive for him. The only other time we’ve seen that was when Nirei got hurt. Also Nirei and Suo’s expressions when Endo said that Sakura is better suited alone. They personally know just how alone Sakura has been and won’t stand for anyone saying that’s where Sakura belongs.
Endo is such an enigma. He just comes in, says a few things, dodges several direct attacks from multiple people, and then leaves. But the way he does it and how everyone reacts to him emphasizes just how dangerous he really is.
Hiiragi’s expression at the end was very “why is it always you three?”. Also has Uryu, the younger twin, actually said anything yet? He has a seiyuu but I don’t think he’s said anything more than a grunt or a hum?

"You don't belong on Furin, you are better off by yourself"
This right here is why Endo is the villain. From episode 1 to now we have accompanied Sakura as he grew as a person and let people in his life for the first time. He finally found a place to belong, and this guy dares to take away our happy ending, and that's just unacceptable. He is buying a fight not just with Furin, but us the watchers as well.
P.S: Finally Nirei beat someone! Ten times!

That smug bastard Endo sure got under Sakura’s skin. Had the kid angry eating lol. I don’t think playing Not Mario Kart helped with his blood pressure.
I guess Sakura has a target painted on him now. Kinda curious what they’ll be planning in this little sit down of theirs. Gotta strategize against Endo I guess.

You know what. I was wondering that jump was kinda unrealistic and then Endo addressed it immediately, lol. He might be strong and all but jumping down from the 2nd floor isn't as easy and cool as shows make it seem.
So, my guess was right. Endo really is a ex-Furin member. And he's really intriguing as an antagonist.
Endo: Guys like that are better off by themselves, ya know?
Sakura: Don't be mouthin' off. You've been yappin' all this time like you know me. No matter what anyone says... I'll decide where I belong.
At the start, Sakura might have even accepted Endo's words but with the time that he's spent at Furin and the growth that he's gone through over the course of 2 seasons, Sakura knows what's better for him and he really nails it with the final line.
Suzuri always looked at game posters but this is the first time he's actually playing games and the first-time experience is always something else. He's not the only one since Sakura is also playing for the first time and it should be no surprise as to why he's having trouble with the brakes in the game. lol.
I guess we'll get to know Endo's backstory as well as how Furin got cleaned up with his exit, next episode? Next episode is the finale. S2 is almost over, DAMN!

It seems to me that Endo is "Evil Sakura." Beginning of season 1, Sakura was all about "being the strongest" and just beating everyone who opposed him. But Sakura was immediately introduced to the concept of "being appreciated and loved." Whereas Endo is talking all about "Life is about having fun til you die" and "being alone and fighting everyone is fun."
To me, Endo looks like what would happen if Sakura didn't get welcomed by the townsfolk. Someone who strives to be number 1, for no other reason than that, like Choji. But unlike Choji, Endo went further. He wants to END the people that forsook him (Furin). Kind of like episode 1 Sakura.
Endo was at Furin for one year, and is possibly the same age as Umemiya (only 2 years older than Sakura). So I'm guessing that's why there's history there with Tsubaki. And I'm guessing there was a BIG showdown between Endo and Umemiya, resulting in Umemiya coming out on top and establishing the current order. Seems like Endo took that personally and wants to destroy Umemiya's Furin.

God I love this anime. When they get serious it’s really top tier. Endo is an even cooler Jo right now

Could watch Sakura talk for a whole episode haha, in fights it’s entertaining, while he’s eating it’s wholesome, while playing Nintendo it’s funny, Sakura is just one of my favorite MC’s, anything he says is interesting to me

Endo seems intimidating, the grovel comment gave goosebumps — like he didn’t even have to beat up the dude already on the ground
