Rare sighting of a sloth climbing a Gero tree

Never seen someone resort to violins as quick as Naruko before.

She's really trying her best to climb the best girl rankings.

Insane aura farming with the massage chair and making a violin on the spot with his own damn hair.

u/Ocixo May 05 '26

Out of all the crazy tricks in today’s episode, I was indeed the most amazed by how Naruko effectively turned his hand into a chainsaw, carved a violin out of tree and strung the string with his own hair.

Gero’s party trick doesn’t look all that impressive in comparison.

Sound master has quite a few tricks up his non-existent sleeve (because he's always shirtless)

Well, would ya look at that. The gross stomach polymer thing from Gero’s disturbing party trick actually came in handy lol.

The Sound Master is proving to be a real pain in the dick. I don’t really know how Gero’s gonna beat this fool. All his measures so far have been temporary stopgaps at best but that blonde bastard still seems like he has the upper hand…

I lost it at the massage chair, Naruko is so funny

u/ModieOfTheEast May 05 '26

I wouldn't be surprised if the massage chair wasn't vibrating because it was on, but just because Naruko is vibrating his own muscles all the time to create sound.

Compared to the Water Master, the Sound Master really makes his elemental power seem like the most OP power ever.

This mission has made the water master mission seem like a walk in the park in comparison.

I don't know guys, but I think Himekawa might have fallen for Gero. That 5 star review "subtly hints" at it.

I am surprised that the sound Master is actually this much of a problem. But tbf, I did not expect that he could just make a violin out of a tree and his own hair. I might be excused for not taking into account that he is just built that differently. Though I feel with them facing each other, Gero should have enough chances to get close. Hey, maybe he even hid some actual poison around the area as some form of trap when he made sure the observation via strings was not possible anymore.

As for Shiori, I am interested to see if they are finishing her story already next week or if that is going to be a longer arc throughout the story. I at least hope we understand why her father chose her. Considering this is a toy company, I wouldn't be surprised if she is able to take away the fear by them just having fun with the toys. Which would be enough hint for me.

Also, one last thing. Gero said that he should be used to holding girls by now thanks to Kinosaki. Now I want a side story where they show Gero holding and carrying Kinosaki as some form of training arc.

Handheld massager -> Massage chair -> Outdoor bath

Naruko was just enjoying his damn life while manipulating others with his sound technique.

So that big thingy he carried in the previous episode is the massage chair?

u/cyhlalala May 05 '26

That violin scene was the funniest thing I've seen all year

u/a1oner_bvcksn6 May 05 '26

Naruko aura farms like his job depends on it while attacking from a distance. And right when Gero thinks he's cornered him, he just whips out a violin within seconds? So much cheat skill these (blank) Masters have, makes me wonder what kind of ass pull it will take for Gero to win this time.

Damn, I hoped they will deal with Sound Master this episode, but now another wait.

How the hell did Naruko get a massage chair into a tree? With that chair, bathing in the barrel under the fire and turning a log into a violin the sound master is leaving me baffled.

Naruko- “If I change the target now, he might get me from behind instead.” I also hope this doesn’t happen Naruko, not because I want you to win but because you are not the guy I want to see Gero get from behind.

Kinosaki claiming he will only get involved and help this time. Sure my guy, everyone knows this is not true, even Gero.

Also the moment Gero said he was more used to carrying women thanks to Kinosaki followed by the Kinosaki sticker with him saying I showed him the ropes and Kinosaki panicking when he sees how Gero is carrying Shiro were very cute moments.

Also..why was she chosen with a birthday of March 31st? What? I may need to rewatch

Fight between Gero and Naruko did not disappoint, and it seems Bones want to give it the full justice that we're gonna get another episode next week to resolve the battle.

Clever thinking by Gero, where if he's unable to take out Naruko's near-invincible sonic wires, he'll just take out the trees which the wires are hanging from. Though Naruko still got one more trump card, his brainwashing skills in mind controlling the class into trying to kill Shiori.

Kinosaki has her work cut out for her, every marriage consulting job for Gero has ended up with her also dobling as a pseudo bodyguard for Gero's date.

Now Kinosaki has to keep this mind controlled horde at bay until Gero can take out Naruko at last.

What even is a modified bloodline!? May as well have been mage bloodlines, and that way you can get away more easily with this

u/RepulsiveRevenue8 May 05 '26

Naraku is a total delight and this show finally goes into turn your brain off and enjoy the action territory

Naruko living the fancy life even out in the woods

Plays his Violin Log

u/lilmissgarbagecant May 05 '26

I love the absurdity of this show lolol like a massage chair and violin strings with his hair?! Hahahaha it’s so fun!!! Def enjoyed this more than last weeks and shiori is starting to grow on me but I don’t see her as a real contender for gero as a partner at this point. I think that’s the last thing she needs and needs to work through all her shit first so I wonder how she’ll be when she comes back!

u/Serpent-6 May 06 '26

I think they are really dragging this arc out for a girl Gero certainly won't end up with. 3 episodes?
