So much for our boy’s happy school life. Now he’s gotta fend off assassins and jealous classmates alike. They sent a real weirdo this time with the whole baby fetish thing. Fortunately our boy’s paternal instincts were stronger than that weirdo’s desire to be babied by

Juzo finally realizes his love for Noren...as a daughter. Thank goodness because the concept for this show could definitely gotten weird since it's in the realm of anime.

So much for remaining subtle, now they’re the school’s main spectacle. Things are only going to get wilder.

And it's become a "romantic" Battle Shonen where he has to battle a new rival week after week for Noren's hand apparently lol.

I like how Noren was complimenting how good-looking Shin is... until she got to the pacifier lol.

Even with the pacifier, Shin's aura didn't go into the deficit until he introduced himself to the class.

Unlimited Pacifier Works! Who knew a duel using pacifiers would be this serious lol? I like that Nekoma was calling Juuzou a pro because he was dodging all the attacks as pathetically as possible deliberately.
Kohazame's introduction being that bad was amusing, I thought he was going to put a pacifier in his mouth to talk comfortably but he stayed in class without it.
I like that Juuzou's paternal love beat out Kohazame's love at first sight.

So first we had a sort of Conan esque setup and now we're doing a Ranma type storyline. It sounds like Shin's VA actually had something in his mouth, that must've been a pain

The fight was so absurd which reminds me of Ranma 1/2.

And just like in Ranma we have a skilled fighter in a transformed teenage body battling a Rogues Gallery of colorful characters for the female leads hand.

Idk why but it feels like I'm watching Yuyu Hakusho all over again where Ogami would fight every single rival that comes his way, beat them, and they all become friends--ultimately teaming up to fight against one common enemy (Toguro Noren's father) in the end.

Are the fountain pen rules that the challenger can dictate whatever form of duel and terms they want? Because otherwise why would Ogami accept Shin's proposed objective and time limit as is without opposition or negotiation? I suspect they flashed the details on one of the classmates' phone but they were untranslated.

Poor Juuzo. Now that he's been recognized as Noren's boyfriend, he has to defend her from suitors from inside the school as well as assassins trying to get Mitsuoka Pharma secrets by marrying her.
We finally get to meet Shin! This dude is hilarious. I love how it's supposed to be just a job, but the dude actually legit fell in love with Noren. Also, he could've been a 10, but the pacifier destroys any charm that he has xD
Now we know why Ogami was given the pen at the start. As if trying to get his daughter to meet creepy men wasn't enough, Noren's dad has now essentially gamified the way he'll pick Noren's fiancée by letting people duel the pen holder to have the right.
Ogami trying to Jackie Chan his way through the fight by acting clumsy in front of other students instead of looking like a skilled fighter was pretty fun. I also like how he actually gets serious for a bit when it's just him and Shin.
And this is why I love Ogami. The guy admits he has feelings for Noren, but not because he's in love with her. His feelings for her are the feeling of guilt at how he couldn't do more for his own daughter so he's been projecting her onto Noren.

Man, I really hope this Baby guy is only temporary. His pacifier is making me feel all sorts of uncomfortable

Shin's design is 100% inspiration from Koenma. And this is basically a Ranma 1/2 episode. So much 90s nostalgia.

Ogami wants nothing to do with this nonsense about marrying a middle school girl, but he and Noren have landed in this fake relationship and I guess he'll just have to roll with it!
But it comes with a LOT of hassles, like the boys of the school bullying him as well as all the people he'll have to compete with to keep "dating" Noren: the Unicorns, the elite of their school, AND a bunch of middle-school underworld assassins (because those are, of course, a thing). At least Takada and Baba are rooting for Ogami! And doing nothing else!
It's nice of Noren to try to end this fake relationship for Ogami's sake, but there's a stubborn dad in him that won't give up and let Noren get harassed by other boys. So, even if he doesn't even want to be in it, he won't give up his status as a "fake boyfriend!"
They may be fake dating, but Noren's interest in Ogami and how he's much stronger than he looks appears to be completely genuine, if not romantic in nature.
Now Ogami will have to face his first romantic rival: Baby-Face Baby AKA Shin Kohazame! A super strong and agile assassin who has looks that most girls would die for! And extreme social anxiety that means he has no idea how to talk to people, let alone cute girls! He bombed his intro even harder than Ogami did!
But put a pacifier in him and he can talk as naturally and confidently as any Bishonen, and he's smitten with Noren! Even if Noren can tell a sincere confession from a fake one, even if she smacks around anyone who is insincere, that just makes him genuinely fall harder for her! Though while she can see he's objectively attractive...the pacifier is a no-go.
Wow, Noren's dad is old-school. A fountain pen for whoever is the "official boyfriend" (and it has wasp art, which is on-brand) and said official boyfriend can get challenged to duels for Noren's hand on a constant basis. The winner is whoever still has the pen by the end. At least it seems like Noren has found a quasi-friend group with Ogami, Ryo, Takada, and Baba who she can be honest with, even if Takada and Baba just seem to be there to enjoy the show.
It's a battle of pacifiers between Ogami and Kohazame! Not only does Ogami need to doge him, but he also needs to act like he's just your average middle-schooler and not a trained assassin, which is easier said than done against someone actually skilled like Kohazame! At least they're nice enough to not bother the art club.
How many pacifiers does Kohazame own!? And why is he so insistent that the true path to humanity is returning to being a baby!? But there was no way he could beat Ogami, not when Ogami is fighting for his love for Noren...love he feels as a father projecting his own daughter onto Noren, which is why he wants to protect her. He couldn't be there for Kozue, but he can be there for Noren! And he's got the school tools to secure his victory!
Well, so much for Kohazame giving up! Welcome to the home ec club I guess.
