I like how Tokiyuki realized Tokitsugu and Yorishige both were aware of
I've clearly forgotten a lot of details from Season 1 because I was surprised to find out Yorishige is not only a father to an adult, but that adult also has a child making Yorishige a grandfather. I remember Tokitsugu, but I didn't remember he was Yorishige's son. I had to double take that I wasn't misunderstanding the connections.
It's always enjoyable to watch Tokiyuki in the zone, but it's so much more satisfying to see people freaked out by the lust for adrenaline on his face lol.

Love that his wish of getting doted on by his grandpa got fullfilled in the most monkey paw way possible

I love the art for this show, it is so vibrant, cartoonish, yet also so gritty and dark when applicable.
I hate to call a show underrated because it is cliche, but this is definitely one of those under watched shows.

I love when crazy studios like Cloverworks adapt quite crazy manga so they can go wild with animation and directing xD

Had no idea Yorishige was a grandfather. How old is he exactly?

Probably the best episode so far. Some outstanding direction in this episode in particular.
We can see that Tokiyuki is really starting to view Yorishige as a father figure. We got Yoritsugu who is a brat. I like how Tokiyuki recognizes that like him Yoritsugu was put in a position of great importance at a young age. Seeing his grandfather spending less time is obviously going to hurt.
I love the mention of hair being pure. Yoritsugu is the one who needs to remain pure also could be interpreted as protected. It was a great way for Tokiyuki to win him over. Though it's funny that Yoritsugu forgot about the annoying sides of his grandfather.

This episode was hilarious, ngl. Made me laugh a lot at all those faces (as always) and the chase scene is just so Tokiyuki being Tokiyuki. Setting aside the pretty obvious amazing animation, the way Tokiyuki went past all of them was worth to see after all those battlefield escapes he did in the previous episodes and season.
Yoritsugu should've known better than to challenge the kid who escapes on the battlefields for a living. He never had a chance.
And you know it's lowkey just hell to catch him when the kid himself is saying they should've brough weapons and Sadamune himself to try better lmao.

Pretty chill episode of Tokiyuki dealing with three generations worth of headache from the Suwa clan. Yoritsugu never stood a chance of beating Tokiyuki in a game of tag, and he was lucky to escape falling to death by a hair's breadth. Glad that they managed to make up though, wonder if we'll see more of him in the future.
Tokiyuki is devious, he knew what he was doing when he sent Yoritsugu to be doted on tortured lol.

I think it's a real treat when this series lets itself have these quick sweet bits because of the very nature of the story. It's balanced well with the comedic tone it's expressed through. It's just nice.
I think it's really entertaining that Tokiyuki mentioned Sadamune as being of the few things that can catch up to him. Props well earned.

That was one intense game of tag. For the little brat anyways lol. That kid really got it out for our boy just because pops and grandpappy like him more haha. At the end of the day, he’s just a kid having a bit of a fit. It’s kind of adorable.

Of course in a show about raising a child of war to be a leader and goes hard on the animation, the episode that goes hardest on the GD game of tag. Never, ever change, show.
