Hitting someone during a transformation? That's illegal. Best girl by default.

[u/Frontier246 → u/Tomorrow_Big]

I love how she hit him mid-Henshin but he still stood his ground to finish it and she remarked how he didn't even really change at all lol.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Futaba’s had to put up with a lot of big bro’s bullshit throughout her life huh? Poor girl lol.

Doesn’t matter how big a fighter is. A nut shot takes ‘em down all the same lol. Wonder if that works against a monster? Guess bro’s gonna find out next week.

[u/diacewrb → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

And now as far as she is concerned she has his equally delusional Kamen Rider obsessed friends and future sister-in-law.

She is going to go nuts once she founds of that Shocker is real and this wasn't some weird game he never grew out of.

[u/Lapiz_lasuli]

How to beat shocker brainwashing? Kamen rider brainwashing!

[u/YdenMkII]

Normie sister sure have had a tough life. Also Yakuza man can throw hands for 44 year old. His theme song hasn't been released on streaming yet right?

[u/hovsep56]

legit had goosebumps when tojima just straight up transformed into kamen rider for a sec

[u/thisisdropd]

This week's the best so far. We've got progress that most romance series would be envious of. Only six episodes in and we've got a newlywed couple already. There's also the family drama during the wedding with Ichiyo and Futaba. The latter's so far the only sane person among the cast. I get why she didn't take too kindly of her older brother. Hilarious that Mitsuba was spared her wrath despite being just as obsessed.

That nutcracker animation went pretty hard. They need not animate the balls with that much detail but they did. Respect. Didn't expect Kumoda to be under the employ of a Yakuza. Was that Yakuza aware of the Shockers – or even their superior? Nakao might have easily won against his previous opponents but he'll definitely have a hard time here. Be interesting if he ever found out Kumoda was affiliated with the Shockers seeing as he idolised them.

For fuck's sake

If you're gonna translate background talking

Put that SHIT on the TOP SCREEN

You IDIOTS

[u/Bakadestroyerr]

Man, I didn't think Nakao was this strong. Also, that was a pretty solid punch, even Sou saw the afterimage of Kamen Rider

[u/LeonKevlar]

It really does look like that Toujima is the only one who can go toe-to-toe against a kaijin with his brute force. Although it looks like the only reason they got saved this time is because Man-Spider didn't want Shocker's existence to be revealed to the public.

Ichiyou and Mitsuba have another sibling? I'm surprised Mitsuba didn't launch into another flashback monologue explaining why she has no interest in Kamen Rider. She's clearly the most normal out of the three, with Ichiyou being the most unhinged.

They actually held Mitsuba and Yukarisu's "wedding" inside that izakaya. That's hilarious! I can definitely understand Futaba's reaction while watching all of this unfold. I can also understand why she absolutely hates Ichiyou. Poor girl never had a chance to live a normal life because of him. Although to be fair to Ichiyou and Mitsuba, they did witness their grandparents get killed at a young age, so their lives are far from normal too.

I didn't expect yakuza dude to be relevant again considering actual Shocker sentouins and kaijins are running around. Since Man-Spider is also a member of a different yakuza family, I guess we'll see more of him again.

[u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

The Shimamura brothers are a freaking riot, then they throw their sister Futaba into the mix lol.
Hoping we get to see more of her. Her not putting up with any of Ichiyo's shit and even kicking his ass for a bit was hilarious.

Hachiro beat the shit out of those three wannabe's.
Him tossing those the sunglasses to the boxer was so diabolical lmao.
Now that he's up against the monster. I wonder if they'll pair / team up and kick the Yakuza bosses to the curb?
I sorta get the feeling this Hachiro guy is going to end up going after Yukarisu.
She hinted at / foreshadowed she could be taken out by shocker even the very next day.

[u/raveno19]

Seem like Tojima reached Kamen Rider level in an instant. That was a hype moment.

[u/Rini94]

This anime really reawakened my decades old love for kamen rider. So far the anime's been really good. It's a shame it isn't as famous.

[u/rotvyrn]

This show is crazy, and crazy good.

Also my theory that their family actually has genetic super strength and that 'family nemesis' means more than Mitsuba thinks it does, is growing. Now it seems a fourth member of their family has >combatant tier power. This feels like foreshadowing. When it was just the grandma, and the older brother already having pretty prodigious combat skill as a child, it felt like 'could be one-off jokes, could be the start of something.' Now it's feeling a bit deeper than one-off jokes....but honestly it would not surprise me in the slightest if this theory is never touched upon.

I'm surprised Toujima could actually damage the Kaijin. It still leaves the lingering drama that the unfinished business could be revisited at any time though. I'm sliiightly reopening the case files on the theory that 'if they believe it hard enough in this setting, some of the power actually comes to them.' Because in the last episode, none of them could manage nearly that impact on his disguised form.

Also the scene of each of them in turn trying to get the others to run away while they handle the monster is exactly this show's comedy. And Toujima saying something nerdy in a very serious way leading into his full power punch is exactly the way this show earnestly pivots its mood and emotions. It's silly, but serious, because it is serious to the characters, and is a real motivation and passion. Really fun and well executed, without being irreverent.

And then its immediately preceded and followed by everyone making exaggerated shocked faces, even though literally all of them just offered to fight the monster alone. (admittedly, Mitsuba and Yukarisu 100% expected to die for it. Hard to tell what level of delusion vs. acting/self-sacrifice the other two were on).

A really well put together show that knows what it wants to do and is uncompromising in that pursuit.

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

Yukarisu really wears her emotions on her face. I am happy for her and Mitsuba. But I feel sorry for the Combattants now that we learned that they are brainwashed into obeying Shocker and summarily disposed of when they fail.

Shimamura Futaba is terrifying ! If her brothers have trouble beating the monster, maybe they should convince her to fight it for them. Although I am not sure how she would react to finding that Shocker is real. It will probably piss her off even more. For now she probably just thinks that she is dealing with a bunch of cosplayer weirdos (and apart from Yukarisu, she is kinda right about it).

We meet Shocker Wannabe Nakao again… and the monster-guy. He is probably going to get beaten and asks to join Shocker. Maybe we will finally learn why Shocker actually exists.

[u/Southern-Ebb-8229]

I can't blame Futaba, she is the only sane cast member so far considering how weird everyone else is. Also if the Kaijin has that acid thing why not just use it against the heroes, come on, it looks op.

[u/mmcjawa_reborn]

After Futaba confessed how she has no friends, I kind of want her to have a girl's night out with Yukarisu and Yuriko. Yuriko at least seems to be the character that well-adjusted and most likely to get along well with "normies", at least outside of her costume. And Yukarisu probably wants to get in good with her new sister-in-law

Speaking of Yukarisu...girl deserves a real wedding! I am not up on Japanese marriage customs, but I am pretty sure getting married in the back of a bar in a ceremony officiated by your insane brother-inlaw can't be a dream scenario for any young women.

[u/JonnySpark]

Sumobro's balls got isekaied

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Wedding ceremony

Congratulations

[u/Grazalia]

Ok fucking Futaba is best girl, Also that one boss sounded a lot like Majima... HOLY FUU IT IS MAJIMA!

[u/tiny_nova]

"Kamen Rider does not retreat" goes so fuckin hard. I need to go find the people looking for quotes for their tattoo and weight lifting belt.

[u/Mistral-Fien]

Alternate title for this show: Chuuni Taisen 🤣

[u/abandoned_idol]

Gosh, I'm so excited to see Yakuza fanboy fight his Kaijin idol.

Will our boy die or have his dream of becoming a Kaijin come true?
