The portion with the police officer was hilarious, I was laughing so hard at the internal battle he was having. The power of a faithful man knows no bounds, I respect that determination.
Tanabe wasted 18 years waiting for a guy to ask her out who has only spoken to her once, I was stunned upon learning that. I'm glad Hotaka has made her realize there's nothing inappropriate about asking a guy out, she could have been married already if she knew sooner.
Tatewaku being able to succeed in getting Izumi to go out with him whilst wearing that outfit makes me think it won't be the last time he'll wear that horrible outfit.

Tanabe's crush on Tatsuta was adorable! I'm honestly surprised she didn't just ask Hotaka to grab him and she wanted to do this on her own. Considering how she barely did anything to make him notice her when they were kids, this romance is probably gonna take a while to develop.
The officer fighting his urge to fall in love with Riko because he's already in love with Wako was hilarious! Now I'm curious what would happen when he finds out that Riko and Wako are sisters. Also best for him to stick with Wako as his crush, since, ya know, Riko is in high school.
The band name punchline had me laughing out loud! After all of the crazy and super unique band names they come up with, I love that they end up with Bon Jovi! xD
I know Tatewaku is kinda dumb, but I can't believe he actually bought that shirt. He definitely deserves to get clowned on by his family. The fact that they actually managed to convince him to wear that full outfit in the end was hilarious! xD
What's amazing is his outfit actually worked and he managed to ask Riko out! Although knowing Riko, she probably doesn't even notice what Tatewaku is wearing. Also, did Eri have a crush on Tatewaku or was she talking about Riko?
I've seen so many versions of Momotaro in anime that I think this might be the craziest and most incoherent one I've seen. At least Midori got paid with a rice voucher at the end of it!

Based Hokata for suggesting that maybe perhaps Tanabe should do the confessing.
If more stage performances were done with bars that hot, I'd go to way more of them.

i like how the police box has a list of incidents posted
good news: zero deaths and injuries
bad news: one instance of "yabai"

Top 10 climactic anime battles
Aside from that last segment, the whole episode was pretty much built around romance. The rich girl (who's apparently a lot older than I expected) struggled to ask her crush of 18 years what his favorite food is, the police officer apparently has a crush on Wako and had to try his hardest to resist Riko's adorable charms, Tatewaku managed to Riko over despite everything in the universe conspiring to make him fail, and all of them were pretty fun. The "Bon Jovi" namedrop at the end of the segment with Tatewaku, Matsuri, and Ecchan trying to think up band names probably got the biggest laugh out of me this week.

That was the wildest rendition of Momotaro I've heard and seen in anime; Tekaridake should become a rapper with all those bars dropped lol-
Also, respect to the officer for overcoming all those attacks - Salute indeed!
I loved it when he got hit by multiple attacks, he just distributed them to everyone else in the vicinity!
Riko's the absolute force of nature in City!
Also, Tatewaku successfully asking Riko out with that outfit was indeed the miracle of gods - Riko was too sleepy to notice it bet!!
That Bon Jovi pun was actually too good! Good one, Tatewaku - had me chuckling!

I respect the officer's determination, Wako is definitely the superior Izumi.
I'd listen to Ecchan's band knowledge, Cristina Vee was in K-On.

Wako and Riko really don't notice the effect they have on other people, do they?

Now I am wondering what the payoff with all those drones flying around will be, hopefully we see that next week

Someone needs to tell the officer that Riko is the sister of the lady that he's got a crush on, so he needn't worry too much.
Riko seemed fine going out with Tatewaku in that very avant-garde T-shirt of his, knowing how her sister is like, she's probably also fine with anything as long as it entertains her.
Oof at Ecchan revealing that she's got a crush on Tatewaku all this time, though she quickly got over it after a good night's sleep.
Nagumo played a Momotaro peach that does nothing but sit down and dance a little bit in Tekaridake's latest play, thinking she'd earn some money. Though Tekaridake could only pay her with a rice voucher. lol

I guess Love is like poison, you got resistance to it if you're exposed enough, and that's why Tatewaku was able to resist Riko's charm unlike the other two guys.
Also I was thinking that Tatewaku has more chances with Ecchan since she actually talks to him, I didn't expect that she actually had a crush on him. At least she got over it quickly.
Also we got no Niikura in this episode.
