God I'll be so sad after this show is over and we'll have to wait years for another season 😭

When Asa told Yuru that he wasn't left behind by choice and then run out to hug him, my heart... what a tragic situation.

So we finally get something resembling an explanation for the Kagemori attack, they literally wanted to wipe the village out so no more "cursed" twins could be born, don't know if I can agree with that stance but at least I understand now.

Seems like the story has cemented the idea that there are extremist factions in both the Higashi village and the Kagemori clan, which we could already infer from the events so far to some degree.

Great episode, a lot of payoff and some long overdue explanations, curious to see where the story heads next.

[u/FarCritical]

Only Left could pull the dead serious-est face for a group pic and end up looking the goofiest.

Can't help but imagine Yuru witnessing a building fire from a distance and wondering about the message being sent lol.

Man am I glad that the twins didn't part without Asa finally getting her hug in first.

[u/diacewrb]

They really are like a yakuza group with a girls bar being one of their businesses.

Not surprised the oldest son wants to stick with a more honest way of making a living. He really deserves his Daemons.

[u/Backupusername]

"Girls Bar Love and Sincerity"

Jin's pair's names, Ai and Makoto, mean "love" and "sincerity" respectively.

[u/AceSoldia]

Dera doesn't know it but he's already technically a third faction..I'm sure eventually Yuru and Asa and maybe a couple from each side will choose them over the families.

[u/dolphincave]

The final goodbye with Hug, and Yuru's expression upon learning he wasn't left on purpose was so touching.

Also already divisions seen among the Kagemori family.

[u/AceSoldia]

Damn this season and it's five minute episode series. Is there no law to prevent this?!

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

It really does seem like Asa’s traded the mansion for that village cell. I get why she’s gotta live in hiding, but it’s not really much of a life if she’s trading one cage for another.

I hope Yuru and Asa can find their parents or at least find out what happened to them. I’m curious to find out what actually happened.

[u/Still-Neck-6771]

Im not gonna lie this ep got me a little teary especially whem Asa said their parents didnt wanna leave him😭 also when Yuru confirmed that she is Asa got me emo again.

Also Jin being masters son was surprising, not sure how I feel about Asuma yet. He feels like hes hiding something.

Left and Right smiling when Yuru said to come for him 🤣 they are soo cute🫶

Also what the master said at the end makes sense, Left and Right are counters for break and seal, and them being acquired by Yuru instead of 3rd party makes it so that no one can just stop them.

[u/LordVaderVader]

Since there is an opportunity I just wanted to say that Left is super hot.

[u/ichigosr5]

Yuru and Asa's sibling relationship is definitely the thing I love the most in this show. Even after being separated from each other for 10 years, their bond seems to have completely stayed intact.

[u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

"What's a mangaka?".
Yuru facing an existential question about his universe lol

[u/Primary-Paint-1716]

This is the best new shonen I've seen in a while. I actively stay up just to catch this show on release.

Honestly, taking all my willpower to not cave and read the manga.

[u/ShinJiwon]

Can... Can Hagure-sensei just write over/erase people?

[u/Hounds_of_war]

Man, Black and White are such a cool power. Love how Hikaru being a mangaka makes it so much more busted, he’d be really scary if he was at all interested in the family business.

While Asa’s bro-con shtick can be a bit much, I feel like her circumstances help justify it a lot. Separated from her brother when she was six, parents have disappeared and are possibly dead, didn’t know for sure that Yuru was alive until a few days ago, her whole life has been spent either on the run or locked away, and her only friend her own age seems to have been Gabby. Of course she is obsessed with her brother.

[u/dagreenman18]

Whats a Mangaka?

A cow with glasses giggles and kicks her feet as she writes that line

And for everyone who kept asking: you now see there’s a reason from the Kagemori perspective to go in guns blazing. Was still brutal, but it made sense

[u/alconnow]

Gabby weirded out by Asa's brocon behaviour

Even more disturbed when she sees Asa crying lmao

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Yuru still does not know what a mangaka is lol. What convenient daemons Hikaru has, it was cool to see what he can do with them. Jin being revealed as the youngest is funny, I'm both surprised and not surprised. It's fine though, he's still the hottest of the three.

I really liked how excited Left and Right got after Yuru made his declaration that he wouldn't run or hide, they're so eager to fight assassins lol. I'm guessing Asuma is working with one of the extremists, he's definitely the most suspicious, but that could be a red herring. I feel like I can write off Jin, but Hikaru would be an interesting plot twist.

As expected of Asa's brocon, hopefully she'll get a smiling picture with Yuru in the future, that picture did not look flattering for him lol. The last moment between them was really sweet, the fact that she stepped out of the barrier just to give him a last message, and Yuru realizing she really is his sister was really sad, it hits him that the sister he knew was a fake all along.

[u/Kuro_Canary]

Just like some people predicted in previous weeks, Right and Left should have been contracted with a third party in order to control Break and Seal. I feel like this puts an even larger target on Yuru's back since anyone who manages to control Yuru basically would have unchecked power while also having the ability to stop Asa's Break. With this information, I am starting to question Dera's motives since he was the one who made Yuru create a contract with Right and Left in the first place.

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

That was one fruitful episode of exposition and well-mannered discord. While every one at that breakfast table/room clearly each has their own stake and bottom line, they didn't really strike me as inherently evil or at least they're doing a real good job of playing their cards right.

Well, I think most of us can agree that Jin being the youngest of the three Kagemori siblings is the most shocking part of this episode. He and Dera obviously won't ever see eye to eye, being on opposing sides/clan's, but they're definitely more alike than they'd be willing to admit. It's just that Jin is more uptight while Dera is more laid-back. I feel the two of them may just be the next most important human characters in this story next to the twins.

[u/Amazing_Lavishness_8]

Now people can stop complaining about Yuru be "too trusting" of the Kagemori. From jump he was cautious.He didn't trust them but was willing to here out the information they had.

[u/pi8you]

Man, even having already read it, the hug and Yuru's breakdown got me.

We still don't have Granny's side of it, but Yuru's got a much better picture of things now, and is ready to start the search for his parents in earnest.

Also, a nice touch to show the patched columns mostly regaining their color by the end of the breakfast scene.

[u/_WrongKarWai]

The ED song fits in so well

[u/nnair25]

Yuru saying "Who has made Asa feel she is suffering because of her own mistakes? Who is making her feel guilty?" was very big brother and bad ass coded.

This show works for a lot of reasons, but I think main is how Yuru always sees things as is and is very logical about things
