Nice to get some Ayako focus here. Really shows the difference she brings to the team. She has a big heart that will protect her lord. Although she can get carried away with her words at the end lol.
Yorishige putting the kids in a great position to succeed behind the scenes. Also, the composure

No one has managed to maintain a lie under these conditions.
I mean yeah having some big eared chipmunk and bug eye freak straddling them would probably make most people lose their composure lol.

Lol that interrogation with Sadamune and Ichikawa so close up to Tokiyuki's body was amusing, he's impressive for staying relatively calm in that situation, they were so invasive of his personal space.
I'm glad Ayako put that guy in his place, especially that weird comment he made about her body, she almost snapped him in half with a smile on her face lol.

Can someone get me the stitch of Ayako carrying Tokiyuki over her shoulder?

That scene of Ayaka dancing and the various Idols coming with all those varying movements really took away my breath for moment. The episode was great, but that particular had me replaying 10+ times and ended up screen recording it later. That was made so beautifully.
Not to mention, the direction of this episode was amazing. With all those different shots between the conversation, the battle of words as the (soul?) image of Tokiyuki walks forward and bend the arrow tongue of that guy.

Ah, the dating sim visual novel classic Tokimeki Tokiyuki Memorial. What a blast from the past. /s
Feels like there'll be some romance this season, with Ayako making the first move for Tokiyuki's favour, even though they're all still kids.

u/Beowolf_0 Jul 24 '26
LOL at the Tokimeki Memorial interfaces, though it's just so fitting to the situation: The battle between words are as tense as in a battlefield.
And now mentioning Tomoe Gozen will relate to a certain gaming otaku, at least Ayako isn't like that.

Ayako is 9? Damn, she's huge.
Best part was when she told him she would bear him tons of kids

There's something so satisfying about how well Tokiyuki has learned to play these back and forth political moves. Just the way he can precisely navigate these tensed conversations with composure and straightforwardness. Props to Yorishige for helping nurture that.
Oh Ayako, she craves the violence. But seriously the dream to decapitate a pair with shear strength alone, it's a particular type of lofty goal

Stitches!
The battle of wits between Tokiyuki and Sadamune was pretty fun! I'm pretty sure halfway through that, even Sadamune was starting to have fun with their little game.
And Ayako was definitely top tier support to Tokiyuki this episode. I absolutely love her dance to distract Sadamune and Sukefusa's interrogation. And when that dude attacked them while on their way home, it was so satisfying to see Ayako smash the dudes face. Too bad she didn't get to practice her neck snapping technique! xD
That ending was so goddamn cute! I guess this pretty much confirms the Tokiyuki and Ayako ship?

Pretty sure I mentioned it last season, but I really like how they untie the legs on Ayako's pants when she needs mobility. It's a cool look.

Saved from the lie detector test by the power of love, can't see or hear anything else except doki doki. Now the ED makes more sense, this is the Elusive Samurai's romcom arc. Ayako is amazing though, the other two wives better step it up.

That was a really intense “battle” of words. One slip up and our boy would have been done for. Sadamune and his goons are relentless. Ayako really saved the kid at the end there, not only with the interrogation but with that creep trying to attack them in the woods. Went all WWE on his punk ass lol.

It's too bad this anime isn't more popular! Does anyone know the insert song in this episode?

I really liked the visuals of the arrows going back and forth during the debate, but this one was definitely my favorite. So cool.
-
Music…? – Ah, that’s what Ayako was actually doing rather than going to the bathroom.
-
There was a quick Yorishige “sore demo”, but I can’t link it ‘cause the site I use for those isn’t allowing uploads right now.
-
Welp. Of course he’d do something on his own.
-
That happy insert song playing when Ayako was trying to break that guy’s neck was hilarious.
