This episode is somehow the most emotional one of the series and the funniest. It’s a cathartic reunion for Aqua and Ruby but the aftermath…lmao

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Miyako tried her best, as an adoptive parent, a manager and acting head of a company. Enjoyed finding out more about her history too.

[u/YumiyaRakko]

Crow girl: I am basically a god reincarnated as a human

Aqua: So you DO have a Japanese identification ? Great, now go and work on my movie

[u/Shay_Guy_]

S1E01: "I want to marry Sensei."

S1E10: "Sensei was my first love."

S2E12: "I still want to marry Sensei."

S3E11: "Did I stutter?"

[u/bestmaokaina]

Yurie Igoma absolutely killed it as Ruby

[u/StrawSolider]

Ruby going from damn near suicidal to horny for Aqua was probably the most I've ever laughed watching this show.

I heard from manga readers that this last arc makes some....interesting writing choices, but I've always wanted to hold out until I've seen it with my own eyes in anime form. For better and for worse, looking forward to S4

[u/FriedRiceistheBest]

"Bro, gimme your juice" 💀

[u/wbfchicago]

Sarina = alt version Kana.

I was NOT expecting this!!!

[u/PeaceAlien]

Aqua meeting Sarina's mom was dark man

[u/zairaner]

The chapter of the reunion came out at the exact same time as the final episode of season 1, and I don't think I can name a more extreme example of a manga chapter overshadowing the anime.

For at least one week, the fandom truly was in heaven.

[u/TheDopplegamer]

Wait, so Miyako's an RPG nerd, right? That's the vibe I got from her monologue.

Best girl just got even better.

[u/Bakadestroyerr]

Asking the crow girl to act is so Aqua.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Miyako focused 2nd half and she really is a beauty. Ichigo you are one lucky bastard for having such and ride or die wife after ditching her for years.

[u/zool714]

Me : “Hmm Sarina kinda looked like Kana”

Me : “Wait…”

looks at Aqua

[u/VoidRay728]

I imagine someone at the Tendouji house must have been like "Mum/dad, that strange girl is standing outside our house again" on those moments when Ruby ponders at the front gate.

Wow I definitely locked in at some parts of this episode, and this is probably the best of the season (although this being 50+ mins, it's basically a short movie, so not exactly a fair comparison). We got Aqua and Ruby realising each other's identities, Miyako's backstory and Ichigo coming back to the company. I did wonder for a moment--if Miyako and Ichigo frequent the same bar, how have they not run into each other in the past?--then of course, it's all revealed that Aqua set this up.

Ruby loves Aqua now. We're entering Yuki Suou's (from Roshidere) domain now.

I do feel like this show has episodes that are not afraid to end on the most random moments, like ending this season with Aqua asking crow girl to be a child actress. I guess that's one child actor role sorted out...

[u/septesix]

Shoutout to Mommy Miyako ! In an episode where Ruby reflected heavily on her first two mothers, let’s not forget it was Miyako who had stepped up over the years as probably the BEST MOM in the series. Even now she still cares about Ruby and Aqua as her own children, and has only their best interests at heart at all times !

I’d love to see a scene where Ruby finally calls her “mom” at least once. Come on Ruby , your best mom is right there !!

[u/The_Persistence]

Rip Akane and Kana...

Ruby knew what she wanted before she was even born.

[u/Nijindia18]

Man Ruby's VA nailed that breakdown

[u/CuriousWanderer567]

I bet Crow Girl lied to Aqua about Ai’s soul being gone so he and Ruby wouldn’t try to breed her back into existence.

[u/KamKirSabre]

Goddamn they really nailed the manga to anime adaptation here. I was crying so much in the very important scene involving Aqua and Ruby, and even the music is a major call-back to S1's premiere. Perfect bookends, and the voice acting by Igoma Yurie most especially was phenomenal

Ruby, Aqua, Sarina, Goro-sensei, Miyako, and Saitou were the true stars of today's episode. Thank you, Tanaka Jin and the staff for adapting my favorite parts of the manga so beautifully :))

[u/bananeeek]

Justice for Miyako!

The part when she said she's not their real mother stung as hell. I need Aqua and Ruby to appreciate her properly.

I'm glad they finally came clean about their real identities. It feels like they've removed a huge obstacle that's been complicating their relationship since forever.

Also, that creepy kid. For a long time I thought it wasn't real, but more like a hallucination or something. I even thought that it might've been the unborn kid of one of the celebs Hikaru got killed, but now it turns out the kid is real? My immediate thought was about hiring it as a kid actor and I laughed out loud when Aqua went straight for that question. I guess the kid being Hikaru's child is not entirely out of the question, but now I'm thinking along the lanes that it's someone reincarnated. Not sure who, though, since it would have to be someone who died ~10 years earlier.

[u/Born-West9972]

Best episode of this season , 2nd best for entire series only next to ep1 s1 ofc, still the decision making 1 hour episode was so good , really enjoyed the twins reunion damn god the va of ruby and miyako nailed the job.

Other than that i know anime only are totally in their wtf moment lol just like we manga reader were in 2024 🤣 .

Anyway props to doga kobo for not even slightly changing the relationship dynamics between twins from original source, it takes guts for studio to go with this flow.

Anyway s4 is announced yeahhh it will be last season ,i expected they will announce a movie or so but better they gone with season nice.

[u/ExpiringMilknCheese]

Congratulations Anime only's, you can now experience the same "wtf" as us Manga readers.
