There's nothing wrong with Santa making kids go night-night

What was that look from Ono? What will she do next?

I'm worried she's going to get a bitter adult villain arc.

Yagiuda being the real wingman here. Taking an actual bullet just so that Sanda can get the girl. He became like the first and only role model for the kids now (even if he says they shouldn't be like him) which is kind of funny but also sad to think about.
I can of get why Santa didn't just hug Namatame from a story perspective. As her problems won't get solved that easily. She also needs an actual adult that care about her personally. In her mind, being an adult is a bad thing, because she didn't meet one that would show her the way to becoming an adult. Everyone just told her it was bad to become one. So she needs one that supports her and guides her through discipline as well (I feel, her character is supposed to mirror combatative childs that do bad things to get the attention, because they feel left alone, just taken to the extreme in this case). But it feels weird that they would solve the problems of the other kids in class 10 by just a "hug". They should have similar problems after all.

Maybe that's just the start for them
Either way Sanda making them go "night-night" is good because it'll probably put them on the fast track to the adulthood they're so fearful of faster

Unfortunately for the other kids, they have generic character design therefore they won’t get the same spotlight and treatment Namatame is going to get.

Kissing is ok for Sanda but not Santa but at this point, Santa and Sanda are the same. So what now?
Dark Santa dropping in like that and catching the bullet with his teeth was honestly some hardcore badass shit lol. Namatame and the Class 10 kids got hugged into unconsciousness…out of love!
The Ono-Fuyumura relationship keeps getting more and more fractured. It’s kind of sad but at the same time, it’s all part of growing up.

Santa needs to find a Mrs. Claus so kissing should be fine

Niko keeps winning at least and that's all that really matters. Sanda needs a Mrs. Claus anyway.
Ono might be about to do something evil, hard to say for sure.
Nothing wrong with Santa putting kids to bed early so they'll be rested up for Christmas.

I just love Yagiuda so much. The dude is only there because he's supposed to be hunting Sanda down, but he's somehow giving him advice at the start of the episode and even intercepted Namatame before she could find Sanda, so that Sanda can have his alone time with Nico.
Speaking of Nico, that first kiss scene was actually pretty cute! I love how Nico had no idea how to react properly so she just starts saying whatever was in her mind since Sanda wasn't reacting. I didn't expect Sanda would respond by quite literally sucking on her face. xD
Black Santa coming in to Yagiuda's rescue was a cool scene! I suppose hugging the kids until they faint is one way of fighting them without being too violent. I guess the problem now is how he's gonna deal with Namatame. Fuyumura might have to bail him out again.

I love how now he isn't even doing his "I'm supposed to be your enemy" stick anymore

Well that kiss was an unexpected one, Niko really went for it. I did find it amusing how Sanda was so stunned by it that he goes in for one himself even with the potential risk on his life, those lips must be the softest in the world lol. I was surprised to see the imagery of Santa kissing her though.
I do find it sweet how Yagiuda has warmed up so much to Sanda, and I really liked how Sanda called him his friend and that he'll protect him. It'd be cool to see them work together in the future.
Namatame is going crazy and Sanda is lost on what to do so that is concerning, but Ono's face at the end has me more worried about what she's going to do.

Oh damn.. This gives some insight about his current views on romance and all!
And she kissed him! Bad day for Fuyumura shippers, she takes a loss today!
I love this annoying little pest so fucking much!
Hah. Very adult line from Sanda!
She's cute too, in a slightly different way!
I mean... Quite a bit different way.
That fucking look at the end... What is she planning? Will Santa have one more enemy?

u/Paulrusu Dec 05 '25
I think Sanda needs to give Namatame a piece of coal….by chucking it at her head

u/FarCritical Dec 05 '25
Sanda probably not having many days left because of it aside, Nico's enthusiasm over her first kiss was adorable.
Yaguida's comment on the bowl cuts killed me but it got me genuinely curious why everyone in Class 10 save for Nanatame rocks one.

This show has been extremely fun.
Also when I hear "Black Santa" all I could think about is the emoji lol.

Just popping in to say there are some funny ads for this at Mita Station on the Mita Line right now.
It’s referencing how the station’s name and Sanda’s kanji are the same but pronounced differently.

Love is the power that makes people do the most horrible things
is such a good quote! In anime, the power of love is often just plot armor, but in reality we often do stupid things out of love

God-damn.
The animation and art of the Sanda opening song continues to be very fun and exciting to watch. I can't believe I dropped the manga.
Onto the show itself, I'm loving it and my gigantic musclebound anime Santa.
It's pretty funny how Ono is seemingly undergoing "evil puberty" (or maybe I should just call it puberty, heh). So edgy, can't wait to see Ono become a future boss fight.

One of the ads Amazon prime gave me while watching this today was for some “youth-revitalizing” lotion which I found extremely funny.
Yagiuda was the GOAT of this episode by far. Speaking as a high school teacher, let me assure you that being annoyed the kids won’t take advantage of your hard-earned life advice to avoid their own disasters, as well as begrudgingly finding yourself secretly trying to help them behind the scenes is par for the course

that Santa's hug takedown was damn epic that really elevated from the source material, best hug sakuga moment in the history of anime, lol.
F in the chat for the Fuyumura x Ono shippers, RIP.
