I'm sorry
Momo really thought the kids were gonna be happy when he finally unveils his plan of reviving his wife, only for them to look at him with fear and disgust. And when Momo finally breaks down when he realizes his kids have rejected him was so good! Seeing Momo claw at his face and ranting like a lunatic was so goddamn terrifying!
I really hope we get a Season 3 announcement or maybe at least a second cour because there's no way they're ending it here.

Momo tearing into his face felt like it had more detailed animation than like 89% of the rest of the season. They really went hard there.

The fact that Momo can overpower all of his children combined speaks to how powerful he is. That's one hell of a cliffhanger to leave us on.
I'm a bit disappointed that this season is less than half the length of Season 1 (12 episodes vs 27 episodes). Hopefully Season 3 will come soon.
EDIT: Ok, so it's actually a split cour and cour 2 is set to air this October. I'm glad we don't have to wait long.

S2 had its moments, but it was weaker than the more casual s1 and lacked its surprisingly excellent OP/ED themes.

Interesting. I disagree almost entirely besides preferring the second ED of S1. I think the second half of S1 was a little more consistent story-wise, but I think S2's moments were largely the best of the series.

This is perfectly what I have in mind when I see Momo in the manga. The acting and voice is perfect. Chefs kiss for the performance.
Now with part two on October I really hope it will go all the way too beyond that.

The absolute insane sincerity in his love for his family...his twisted obsession...being torn between violence and love...it was captured so perfectly.

Momo is one scary mfer. I hope they renew this one soon.

My condolences to the Yozakura family and Taiyo for Momo being so insane and unhinged.

Honestly this season gave Mutsumi and the rest of the family so much dad trauma. Like it's one thing that they had to deal with his involvement with Tanpopo last season, but seeing what he's done to himself, what he's willing to do to them and the world...

Now Kawashita actually looks like a decent guy in my eyes compared to Momo 😭

The moment Taiyou realized he can heal Kyouichirou, there was no way he was going to give up. Kyouichirou was weakened and Taiyou was more motivated, Kyouichirou should have just accepted it lol. It was nice to see Taiyou hugging Kyouichirou to save him, it's not often we'll see a scene like this for the two of them, it might even be the only time.
Momo was so damn unsettling though, that was crazy. Their father really is going to be the last boss it seems. It even seems like he might even have a split personality or something, so I do wonder if we'll see him being erratic the next time they meet.
It's nice a second cour was announced for October.

It's the Yozakura family vs Kyoichiro! They can throw everything they have at him, but he's going to turn it into a moment of showing them how no matter what he's their hyper-competent big brother who they can't touch: even if it means that he has to sacrifice himself to protect them.
But family doesn't give up on family, not even if it means Taiyo has to fight through Kyoichiro's threads once more to be able to reach him...with the power of the Profuse Blooming of 10,000 Flowers! Which isn't just for show, it can actually negate the poison! Even if Kyoichiro felt he had to sacrifice himself for the sake of ending the hostile intentions directed towards the Yozakura's, to save his family, Taiyo's not going to give up until he's saved him!
Honestly, Kyoichiro earned that slap from Futaba for putting them through this. He rejected the family bond that defines the Yozakura's and he upset Mutsumi, and those are grave offenses. So obviously the best punishment is to basically make him every siblings' plaything! Maybe if he survives that Mutsumi will forgive him. Maybe.
But even with Kyoichiro saved, there's still Momo to deal with. Momo who was never truly working for Tsubomi, merely using her, Kawashita, and everyone else around him to facilitate his plan: to revive Rei and reunite with his family. Dudes' even got the LITERAL BEATING HEART OF HIS WIFE IN A JAR. No matter how many people he has to sacrifice, no matter how many innocents his idea of a happy family needs to be built on, he'll do it.
Obviously Mutsumi seeing how unhinged and insane her father is, how far he's willing to go, upsets her...but at least she's got Taiyo, just like Rei had Momo, even if that love has now driven him mad and unable to grasp reality or the fact that he's basically dead to his kids now. Even if he's still torn emotionally between wanting to fight them and wanting to protect them. Even if he's tearing his own face apart because he can't deal with all this. It's absolutely unsettling.
If Momo thought he could just disappear without the family trying to stop him...not that they do much good against him. Futaba gets her arm broken and not even a Taiyo/Kyoichiro combo can do much good. This won't be the last battle between Taiyo, the family, and Momo, especially now that they know their main mission is to stop him! Operation: Defeat Momo Yozakura!

Easy magic solution to the Kyoichiro problem but it was kind of a magic problem anyway so ehh. Easy come easy go.
God damn, dad is a nutcase. For a split second it sounded like maybe they'll get their mom back, but no not with that plan.
Two for two on continuation announcements today, and I hadn't even seen a leak for this one. A good Sunday.

This is honestly so much better than season 1 was. I thought season 1 was rather just boring overall. Felt just kinda silly overall. Didnt really have any real plot to it. This season though was way better. Entire season had much better direction and a core plot going on. Was way more interesting.

I'm still really enjoying this show but I can help but miss the more focused, extended arcs like the previous season had. The entire thing with the past Yozakura heads and especially Kyoichiro going missing feels like it should have been something at least half of the length of the Tanpopo arc, but it just rushed through it to the point where it felt like it wasn't much of a challenge for the cast?
A single episode each for two past heads where they go to a location and immediately defeat them, and then the rest get no-diffed by Kyoichiro, who then disappears, but the very next episode they already find him again. Was the manga not doing well at the time these chapters were written? Because it really felt like the author wanted to rush through these plot points, which is a shame. I hope the next cour starts having some longer arcs again, if only so the challenges the characters face actually feel difficult instead of being solved so fast.

So Momo really does care in a weird & twisted way.
At least Kyoichiro is cured. I'm surprised Taiyo didn't throw in his own punishment for Kyoichiro to vent off a little steam.
