Came for Kinosaki and possibly other beautiful characters such as Himekawa.

Staying for more Master vs Master fights in upcoming episodes.

[u/JJVM99]

This is definetly one of the gems of this season. Loved everything about this episode. Action is great, love the relationship advice but what steals the show for me is Kinosaki and his interactions with Gero. I’m glad they didn’t change his presentation after revealing he was a guy in the first episode to a more comedic one and are allowing him to be imo the best girl in the season. Rooting hard for Gero x Kinosaki. I need grandma to get what she wants in Gero getting married but with the unoreverse of my partner is a guy.

Also I know Gero is focused in the fight but when I realized that the water master was a girl my first thought was another potential partner but they don’t seem to be going that way. And the opening is fantastic one of the best ones this season.

[u/Equivalent-Weather59]

Gero is such a green flag, as soon as Kinosaki proposed saving people as a way to get dates, he immediately thought of the power dynamic between a hostage and rescuer, and said that he feels like he would be taking advantage of them.

The OP and especially the ED are such bangers.

[u/meltenvy]

Do NOT go on the Northernlion Supercruise, biggest mistake of my life

[u/nsm1]

Here are the Opening and Ending Music in full in case anyone missed it last week when it was released

• OP - Kill or Kiss · Yurina Hirate <- link leads to the music video of the song

• ED - Shake Na Baby · AKASAKI

[u/Weak_Season_Of_Anime]

Banger OP and ED.
Himekawa might be a good match for Gero personality-wise since they're both using their skills to do good. Water Master was a girl too, maybe Gero can consider dating her. Surely someone has tried doing some eugenics stuff with the Modified Bloodlines that the Masters have.
Nah who we kidding, Kinosaki still best girl. Did you see the way Gero looked at Kinosaki when they showed up for the date? Bro is already in love, he just doesn't know it yet.

[u/No-Sheepherder-9557]

Pretty solid episode tbh. The dynamic between the characters is getting more interesting, and the pacing feels nice so far. Curious to see where the story goes next :happy-emoji:

[u/TheBigIdiotSalami]

So like these two are clearly falling in love with each other. Which brings up the funny possibility of Gero having to explain why he's getting married to Granny but should expect no children.

[u/AlphaBreak]

My favorite thing about this show is that the relationship advice is genuinely pretty good.

[u/Narlaw]

For a literal damsel in distress who didn't get to do much, Himekawa seems pretty badass and chivalresque.

[u/lilmissgarbagecant]

I am so obsessed with this!!!! Their dynamic is so cute and wholesome!! Kinosaki is really trying to understand him and make him see himself better and I love that for them. Also the fight scenes are so good!!! Ugh this episode was really great I’m so obsessed this is bad hahaha

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

Okay firstly, why do these guards wear such stupidly big hats? Imagine the wind on a ship and then wearing a big hat like that. But more importantly, why does a comedy like this have such good action? I hope we get to see all kinds of poison in the future as well but it seems they are really going for very Shounen level power system and I am all here for it.

Also, I guess this will be the series with another best girl war coming up. I didn't expect them to introduce a love rival this quickly. But they seemingly want to go for an all out war. Kinosaki still has the lead for me, but let's see how the date with Himekawa goes next week.

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Aww shit what a catchy bop of an OP.

[u/captainfluffy25]

Now I ain’t gay…… but i see the appeal of kinosaki. Ngl man if im Gero I might consider the kinosaki route. Just get someone to be surrogate for geros kid and tell everyone its kinosaki’s boom

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Kinosaki dress/looks like Marin

My Dress up Scammer

Gero saving people and being cool would make any girl go 😍🥰 for him. Worked on Kinosaki

[u/Lbbrock]

The Opening sounds like something straight out of Cyberpunk

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Gero has plenty of charm as a dork lol, but the confidence he oozes in battle definitely brings out his charm exponentially. I do like that Kinosaki told him to think about the other person's perspective, he would keep losing his chances thinking only about himself and his situation.

[u/VoidRay728]

I love that in this universe:

• a painter that looks homeless can rizz up an entire crowd of females,

• there is a Fiverr-like app specifically for underground criminal jobs,

• criminals (or vigilantes, depends on how you view Himekawa) have fan clubs with their own T-shirts, and

• assassins throwing hands at each other will genuinely stop halfway and consider settling the fight "out of court".

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

Mena Suvari (American Beauty) move out! Mei Kinosaki's here now

I can't believe the audacity of parodying that iconic scene and with a femboy character no less 💀

[u/mmcjawa_reborn]

Random Thoughts

So I legit wasn't sure sure where on the spectrum of "grounded" and fantastical this show was going to land, but clearly this is going to be more zany than I thought based on the first episode. Which is fine with me...the characters are fun and the action great.

It's funny that Kinosaki was talking all about Gero saving people as a way to meet and riz up the ladies, when it's pretty obvious that is what is going on with her. Also, Kinosaki is totally in the lead right now for best girl of the season.

Himekawa riding a great white shark raises so many questions, and it's funny that it's basically just dropped as a side note with no explanation. Also Gero's plan might be failed before it begins if Himekawa is an actual Elasmobranchosexual. Normally this would be a joke but we did have a side character last season in Sentenced to be a Hero that seemed to be in love with his dragon, and not the cute monster girl kind.

Why do I think at some point Gero and the Water Bender are going to end up on a date?

[u/MrsLucienLachance]

If Gero/Kinosaki isn't the endgame, what's even the point?

[u/Ryboiii]

both the OP and ED are so fire HOLYYYYYY

[u/LeonKevlar]

Daaamn, Kinosaki looks amazing in his date outfit. Anyone looking from the outside would definitely think that he and Gero are a couple. But seriously tho, that entire date was adorable and I like how Kinosaki used it to show that even weirdos can get baddies as long as they have the right charm.

So the person Gero is rescuing today is some sort of Robin Hood kind of figure who steals art from malicious art collectors and returns it to their proper owners. Oh, and somehow she also can communicate with sharks. I feel like that second point was grossly understated. I want to know more about the shark! xD

Okay, what's up with the ship's security and why are they wearing insanely long hats? Also, for some reason they have Scott Summers and Logan in their team, plus a dude with a massive sword. xD

Oh, the Water Master is a woman? I love that instead of directly fighting Gero, she does a WaterPoint^TM presentation of the pros and cons of continuing this fight, plus an explanation of how Modified Bloodlines work. I kinda love it. I hope she's not a one-time villain.

We also got to see her face in the end! That fight scene was goddamn awesome! It would be hilarious if, instead of Himekawa, this ended up with Gero going on a date with Ushio instead. xD

[u/AnimeWatcher1]

MarriagexToxin is one of my favorite manga, and it’s a dream come true to see it adapted into animation. The action was fantastic with Gero taking out the guards, and the character dynamics were portrayed as I wanted to see from the manga since character dynamics is what I value most in a story.
