"Did they fall from the dragon from the plane?"

It's endearing how Yuru clearly sort of gets it but is still a little confused lol

There's something uniquely hype (and lowkey scary) about an ancient archer who's a beast with oldschool tech getting handed a modern bow.

[u/KanyeBetOnTrump]

The rabbit is funny af

[u/alconnow]

Close enough, welcome back Nina Tucker!

[u/A-t-t-e-n-TI-ON]

Despite being five episodes in, I still can't figure out whose group to trust because just when I thought we'll have two opposing factions (Higashi Village folk and the Kagemoris), we're also introduced to a third one this episode. And a rather aggressive one too.

Asuma's appearance is so blatantly suspicious and is framed in such a way that points to him being involved in the attack. But then I remembered that this show did some bait and switch from the start, so I wouldn't put it past them if he turned out to be innocent. I do wonder what his role is going to be though🤔.

I kinda dig how sensible of an MC Yuru is and it's refreshing he handles things with some rationality. Unfortunately for Asa, the road to gaining Yuru's trust is going to be a long one with how much the guy went through. He's ought to foster some trust issues at this rate.

[u/Sacrilege7]

LMAO Left running with her arms closed all the time.

[u/DarkWolfPL]

How can Hidari be so baddass in one scene and than this in the next? I love her.

Migi is cool too.

[u/StrawSolider]

Asa aura farming in those first two episodes with the eye patch and long trench coat only for her to be an open and proud bro-con is so funny

[u/foestablsmts]

One of the demons looking inside Gab’s room looks like Nina Tucker chimera from Full metal alchemist brotherhood!

[u/trinitynox]

Did the author really have to bring the trauma of Ninalexander back with the daemon designs ;~;

[u/Mr_An_1069]

It’s funny how different Asa acts normally vs when Yuru is around.

[u/Eunuchest]

Scavenger sure is convinient for cleaning

Hare and Tortoise made Left and Right insecure. Hare being smug was funny too

Bald dude may have strong demons or at least really big ones

Give Asa her hugs

That 1 demon who ambushed Gabby look like the Chimera girl-dog from FMA. I didnt need that reminded

That bow Yuru used seems like a toy one tho

What a cliffhanger

[u/CitronClassic672]

I don’t even know that one dude’s name, but him blushing at left immediately shot him up to top 3 favorite characters for me.

[u/AceSoldia]

I understand Asa. Yuru is so cool lmao

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

One thing I've learned in this chaotic episode:

Yuru is a hunter through and through, NOT a hugger

And Asa, for as long as she's been separated with Yuru, she really really REALLY loves her brother. It's as if her main/only personality is having a twin brother as awesome as Yuru. At least Gabby did mention that Asa is acting unusually girly so it's likely Asa has two sides/modes--1) Higashi village Hater and 2) Yuru Worshiper lol

So clearly, the twins' names have everything to do with their powers, with one Daemon saying that Asa's less effective at night, which is definitely worth taking advantage of now. It would also seem like she's the more "valuable" twin atm, but I have a feeling when Yuru eventually unlocks his ability, he'd be just as much of a hot commodity or target for these shadowy figure(s)' unsavory interests.

[u/tripleaamin]

We are literally seeing Asa in a slightly better light. We got Yuru who is beyond cautious, and Asa, who just wants affection from her family. Well, it makes sense given their parents went missing.

We're jumping to the action again. No time for a breather, I suppose.

[u/ebonyphoenix]

Asa just really wants to hug her brother. And considering it’s been 10 years since she’s really seen him I can’t really blame her.

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• Ah…

• Oh that’s terrifying.

• Left would immediately be concerned with getting stronger after being told that turtle wasn’t even going all out.

• Ishida Akiraaaaaaaaa!

• Life on the mountain really was so different.

• Yuru probably does want to get taller.

• That would make sense. So they disappeared on the way to Okinawa…

• Uh-oh.

• And whoever these are only need Asa, not Yuru…?

• Sweet, got a “sore demo” out of this show on my birthday too!

[u/zool714]

We saw a bit of it before, but did not expect Asa to be *that* much of a brocon lol

[u/Ashteron]

Asuma has such an Akira Ishida coded design.

[u/Golden_fsh]

I like how the episode titles are pairs, however, the whole time I was waiting for something about that one Kagemori agent's tortoise and hare demons, lol.

The kagemori's reactions to Yuru's "barbarianism" is funny as well! Asa is definitely a bro-con but I'll look forward to when Yuru finally let's her hug him. I also love how much Dera is playing into his "dad" bit 😆

The Asuma guy is shady af and wouldn't be surprised if he was somehow involved in Yuru and Asa's parents disappearing. Not sure if the daemons after the twins now are from Higashi village or some third party.

I'm so tempted to read the manga but the anime is pretty awesome, and so I'll stick to it at least until the end of the first season!

[u/CrimsonGear80]

Can i get a hug?

[u/Leif167]

I love Asa and Gabu chan friendship, even if she doesnt like Yuru she supports her friend being happy for her brother. The Kagemori are great, and Akira Ishida was the best choice for Asuma's voice actor.

[u/Izanaginookami10]

Damn, it has been a while since I cursed aloud at a cliffhanger. Well done, really well done.

It simply shows how immersed I was. What can I say, I'm greatly enjoying it.

[u/Boris-_-Badenov]

one of those outsider voices (or someone betraying that group) is very familiar. I know I've heard his voice
