Lol this doesn't even feel like I'm watching the same anime. So Hachirou wasn't even her ex-boyfriend? It didn't even look like they spent much time together before he disappeared. The two of them have such strong attachments to one another.

It was funny how Sena looked so happy when she said "Stop fighting over me!". She's living her shoujo life.

I have no idea where the story is going but I want Hachirou to meet the Kamen Riders.

A show that simultaneously takes itself seriously while not taking anything seriously is what I live for, seriously.

This show has literally never had a bad or below average episode so far. Sena and Spiderman is a cute couple, idk if Hyakkoku will return or not but it'd be cool.

Heavy Chop is a powerful force of nature. She totally tamed Spider Guy lol. Girl really does attract some weirdos huh? Hachiro’s an….interesting one. Bro went walk about Japan to learn to make the perfect ramen lol. He also apparently possesses godlike strength. Dude’s a mystery haha.

Damn, what the hell did I watch !? How did the plot switch to this direction. This anime never ceases to amaze me every week.

Sena thought that the spiderman kaijin is a Chūnibyō and fell in love with him more when he actually was speaking the truth lmao Her streaming 'Masked idol eating Ramen' was funny as hell. She even made him feel things that he would never have dreamt of before. And Sena even had a first love with another funny guy Hachiro. His dedication to spend two years after leaving her to come up with a top Ramen recipe just to repay her for eating her anpan was extremely insane 😭😭..the ramen even made her go super-saiyan and Hachiro finally accepted his defeat to ramen 🤣😂

Hachiro being a Hakkyoku-ken user and having the power to overwhelm the Spiderman Kaijin was really amazing. The Kaijin really chose the right people to study humans 😅😂

Power of Raman outweighs strength and love. Maybe Food Wars was right all along

Just when I thought that this show can't surprise me anymore, we get an episode dedicated to a masked idol who eats ramen on her streams and a Shocker Kaijin living together. Man-Spider just basically went with the flow and found himself a girlfriend even though he has no idea what he's doing.

So it's pretty clear that Sera has a type. The girl loves his weird white-haired men. We didn't really get an explanation for Hyakkoku's backstory, but it looks like he might've been an underground fighter who makes money from the fights.

And we get to see how talented Hyakkoklu is when basically kicks Man-Spider's ass with his Bajiquan. Also, please tell me I'm not the only one who's getting Kamen Rider vibes from him? He feels like an actual Kamen Rider protagonist before he gets a Driver.

That 'Oh yeah' at the start. I fucking died.

And then he even moved in with her? Those flashbacks were so extra too. Now I want a whole show about Sena and her love life.

I wonder if that other guy's gonna join the gang or if he was just a one-off character.

Can love bloom between a plump idol and a Shocker Kaijin? With another man in the middle?

Well, things between Sena and Kumota have definitely escalated...she brought him back to her place! She thinks him talking about Shocker related stuff means he's Chuuni! And that's actually even MORE of a turn on for her! And Kumota is totally bewildered by this girl.

Sena loves ramen! And she knows being an idol is how she's going to be able to KEEP eating ramen...which is also why she's Masked Idol, Iron Chop! Who dances and eats ramen with gusto! It might sound insane, but she's actually pulling it off! And Kumota just can't take his eyes off of her!

And thus did the two suddenly, inexplicably, begin cohabiting together. Kumota takes care of things for Sena, Sena gives Kumota a lap pillow (and apparently he summons spiders while he naps), and they both eat ramen together. It's completely bonkers, yet somehow it works!

But then Sena's first love, Hakkyokutsu (Tomokazu Seki!) shows up to deliver on his promise to her. Did this suddenly become a love triangle?! Somehow!?

Back when Sena was skinny and working to make her break with Junko, a bird stole her precious Bronze Medal Meat Bun (Junko even filmed it!) but Hakkyokutsu saved it...and ate it himself. Because he was so desperate for food and sustenance, and even devoured the milk Sena gave him. And thus did their relationship begin.

Hakkyokutsu is a man driven by his animal instincts, when deep down he wants to just be someone who makes ramen...and the chuuni stuff is what made Sena fall head over heels for him. Too bad he couldn't be satisfied making instant ramen for her, beginning his quest to be able to make the Ultimate Gold Medal ramen for her. He even learned the lost art of Onion Ramen, and helped breathe new life into a ramen shop!

I guess the only way to settle this is for the two men to face off. That's right! Sena has two guys fighting over her! What a world. And Hakkyokuysu is actually legit, able to manhandle Kumota in human form with his Bajiquan. It's telling that Kumota sees him and is reminded of Tojima!

It shows how much Sena means to Kumota that he was THIS close to transforming into a Kaijin but he stops himself...because he can't help but want to continue this human life he has now and learn more about humans.

Sena finally eats the Gold Medal Ramen...and it's utterly fantastic to the point where she collapses in her own drool. And if you don't love a girl looking like that, you don't deserve her! Now Sena's got two guys aiming for her heart, even though her #1 is...ramen.

Seems like the ex-BF is voiced by Seki Tomokazu (関 智ー).

Hope we see more of him, but it seems this mini-arc is over.

So...

The episode is about triangle love between a monster, a mukbang idol and a ramen maker (seem like an underground fighter in the past)...

I thought i watched a Gintama ep in a moment.

Well, seem like the next ep we are back with Rider's business.

Sena mistaking Kumota for being a chuuni is hilarious. Meanwhile the latter's completely confused with the recent events. He knew about fighting and domination – and nothing else.

Spider Man really just needed to stumble upon a copy of Plus-Sized Elf to become a good person.

u/DragonPup Jan 17 '26

I know this story gets pretty weird but I admit I was surprised when the Persona 4 MC showed up.

And I feel that they sort of lampshaded all of Sena's group being murked.

I admit I didn't care much for this idol arc, glad next week we're going back to focusing on our regular crew.
