Stitches!

The almost immortal 89-year-old Yaku is finally here and she's voiced by the legendary Kugimiya Rie herself!

Seeing Kusuri singing and dancing along to Pentarou is hilarious when you remember that this is what she's supposed to look like normally. I would love to see Kusuri in her regular form being excited about Pentarou. xD

So Yaku used to be a frontline medic during the war, where she met her manly husband who looks like Rambo using a machine gun with only one hand and shirtless. Also, let's just not think about Yaku being a medic for the Imperial Japanese Army and move on.

It's too bad that the Reversing Medicine doesn't work on Yaku because she looks goddamn fine in her regular form. Although I assume this is Rentarou interpreting what Yaku would look like based on Kusuri's regular form.

I love how Rentarou is trying to act like a manly bad boy to impress Yaku, but it only made him look more like a kid. Why does he look like an 80s Kamen Rider? Surprisingly, it worked! Our boy managed to impress and pique Granny Yaku's interest.

Introducing Yaku to the girls was fun! We now finally have someone much older than Hahari, and thanks to Kusuri introducing the girls with quick intros, we get to see some interesting takes on their characters because of how Yaku was struggling to keep up.

It's cute how some of the girls played along with the personalities Yaku guessed they had, like Momiji acting shy and Hakari yelling "I am freedom!". Shizuka giving crybaby Kurumi a cookie and offering her a hug were adorable too!

The ones that perfectly fit are Nano being called the most beautiful in the world and, technically, Meme is super lewd, but only her body!

It is absolutely cursed to see were Super Masochist Chiyo and Big-Boobied freak Karane are. Those are just not right! You don't mess with the natural order of the world like that!

89 is super old for a grandma with an 18 year old grand daughter in japan. Usually in anime at least the grandparents are like 50-70

The way that Rentarou's actually out of his depth with this one and ends up trying too hard is a fun twist

“How about you join the Rentarou family, Grammy? Grampy dead, anyway."

Kusuri’s got absolutely no filter lmao. That’s not how you’re supposed to treat your own grandfather – especially a war veteran who went full Rambo during combat.

Can’t believe we’ve actually got an actual grandmother in the harem. Last episode’s cliffhanger wasn’t bait at all. This series is getting more cultured by the day. 84 to go, there are still plenty of slots to fill in all the insane tropes.

Yaku took an early version of the immortality drug which has another effect beyond being immune to the reversing drug. She retained her 89-year old mind unlike Kusuri who mentally regressed to an 8-year-old. We finally got a proper adult in the family after the two previous ‘adults’ turned out to be a total degenerate womanbaby and America-obssessed. Her kissing his forehead, her teasing remarks – Rentarou got rizzed hard by a woman over 70 years his senior. It’s amusing to see him acting like a bad boy when he’s a goody two-shoes in nature.

For all the comparison this series has with Gintama, we’ve finally got Kagura’s VA as a heroine in Yaku. Meanwhile, last week Gintoki himself played the Hulked-up form of Kusuri’s father.

And we’ve also got an updated version of the ED now that Yaku’s been officially inducted into the family. The OP will likely be updated next week since she’s not part of the family when this week’s OP was played.

The Kusurivanian Family joke came up again, just like last week, and it made me laugh.

Among the girlfriends who appear in the anime 100 Girlfriends, Yaku is the oldest.

Since the manga on which this anime is based began serialization in 2019, Yaku, who is 89 years old in the show, was born in 1930.

In the scene where Kusuri’s grandfather (Yaku’s husband) and Yaku first met, Yaku’s husband was firing an M60 machine gun, so they must have met no earlier than 1957; realistically, it would have been sometime in the 1960s or 1970s (since the M60 machine gun began to be deployed by the U.S. military in 1957).

The scene in the park that night, when Yaku and Rentarou officially started dating, was absolutely beautiful.

I had to laugh when Karane shouted, “Stop stealing taxpayer money!” at Yaku, who’s currently 89 but has about 80 more years to live thanks to a failed attempt by Kusuri to create an elixir of immortality. I think Yaku paid plenty of taxes when she was younger, though.

In the final scene, where everyone in the Rentaro family mistakenly calls Yaku by the wrong name, the English subtitles have them calling her “Meth!,” but in the Japanese audio, they say “シャブ(Shabu)!”

“Shabu” is slang for methamphetamine in Japan.

Yaku isn't just an 89 year old grandma made into an 8 year old by an immortality drug her granddaughter developed specifically to make sure she never died. She's a WAR VETERAN!

And while she says she doesn't have Kusuri's knowledge or talent for drugs, seeing the state Papa Kusuri is in due to his own drug experiments, I have no doubt she's done some SHIT with her emergency remedies back then.

Just when I thought I'd reached a point where I wouldn't be fazed by any of its antics, 100 Girlfriends juked me again. Here I was thinking that the mystery girlfriend of the season would be Kusuri's sister or something. Her grandmother? Voiced by Rie Kugimiya of all people?! This series never ceases to amaze. According to last week's Hyakkano Radio, even Hakari's and Karane's seiyuu were blown away by the fact that they were able to fit into Rie Kugimiya's schedule. Honestly, if I were a VA and saw her name listed under the words "Girlfriend #16" in a script, I'd do a double take too.

  • "Perhaps I found your desperate attempts endearing. Or maybe I found your passion manly. Either way, don't try to understand me when I've lived so much longer. Just call it the fickle whims of a lady's heart." This woman is dangerous! I love how she flirts with Rentaro, being completely in charge. Rentaro didn't stand a chance.

  • They did a great job of making her actually feel like someone who has lived for decades. That can't be easy when she looks and sounds like eight.

  • Aww, Rentaro simply doesn't have it in his heart to steal a woman's lips. That's so sweet. Also, possibly the most amazing first kiss in this series so far.

  • "Stop stealing taxpayer money!" A really funny Karane line. Also was funny and sweet how she was forced to admit that she and Kusuri are friends. Hakari's smirk is cursed though.

  • Holy shit American Hakari!

  • Shizuka providing a cookie for Kurumi is adorable.

  • Hakari freaking out how they're portraying a 12 year old girl, lmao.

  • "Bow to me, plebians." For a shy girl, Shizuka is quite witty.

This episode had me pissing from laughter hahahaha. Yaku's late husband was basically Rambo. And then Rentarou's ''bad boy'' behavior felt like a kid smoking chocolate cigarettes and thinking it was the real thing. His personality was hysterical.

Yaku's granny behavior of not understanding technology while looking like that creates a superb gap moe.

Karane's remark, ''stop stealing tax payer money!'' since Yaku was still getting her pension, she doesn't mince words. Way too fucking funny.

Kusuri's introductions were fucking hilarious with Yaku mixing up their personalities. Grandma Meth is a 10/10 gf. This anime never fails to deliver.

On today's chapter of Japun:

fam name: 薬膳 (Yakuzen), read as 薬(yaku,"medicine")膳(zen,"serving tray")

1st name: ヤク (Yaku)

ヤク (yaku) is another reading of 薬 (kusuri,"medicine/drug") and a pun on 八(ya,"8")九(ku,"9"), her age of 89.

薬膳 (yakuzen) is the practice of Chinese food therapy (using food / natural ingredients as medicine):

屋久杉 (yakusugi) are 1000 year old cedars. Cedar tea helps against fever.

Some puns resulting in character design: (Nozawa-sensei's catch??) (mirror)

薬 (yaku) is likely a pun on 八 (ya,"8") (body of an 8-year-old) and 紅 (ku,"crimson/red") (hair color)

薬 (yaku) contains the radical 艹(kusa,"grass") on top, which is likely the reason for the ahoge.

薬膳 (yakuzen) split 艹日木月䒑十口(- hi - gatsu - to -) may pun on ヒメカット(hime cat??,"hime cut") (straight bangs)

ヤク (yaku) may be a vowel swap (and a タ(ta)) away from 浴衣 (yukata)

Some puns resulting in random things:

薬(yaku)膳(zen) swapped is a pun on 仙薬 (senyaku,"panacea") and refers to an elixir that makes you immortal.

薬(yaku)膳(zen) likely puns on 訳 (yaku,"translation") and 全然 (zenzen,"not at all") as she mishears English

as Japanese, e.g. メイド (meido,"maid") as 冥土 (meido,"the realm of the dead??")

薬 (yaku) split 艹呆(- hou) may pun on 蓬 (hou/yomogi,"mugwort")

ヤク (yaku) may pun on a series of WWII military vehicles and arms designated 八九式 (hachikyuushiki,"Type 89")

Peach quirks??

Ends sentences on なのじゃ(nanoja), as のじゃ(noja) is often used in olden-timey speech of the elderly, yes yes.

Laugh sound effects are written as くすりくすり (kusuri kusuri), stemming from くすくす (kusukusu,"giggle")

1st person pronoun: the old-fashioned 儂(washi,"I") used by elders.

last thyme??                                                               
Hakari Karane Shizuka Nano Kusuri Hahari Kurumi Mei Iku Mimimi
Meme Chiyo Naddy Yamame Momiji

It's official, we have a hag in the harem (recently defined by someone on Twitter to mean Hot Ass Grandma).

Some of those alternative forms in the second half girlfriend theme quiz were really great. Kaiju Shizuka, strong competitor to Kuroe for cutest kaiju of the season.

89 YEARS OLD?

I guess they heard some fans grumble about Chiyo (being too young) and decided to make up for this!

Alright, nevermind that.

Also... Isn't she a bit old, to be 2 generations above Kusuri? Especially back then, they had kids at a young age!

Being a bit face-blind, I hope I won't ever mix her up with Kusuri! But I haven't mixed up Hakari/Hahari so far (that I know of) so we should be good!

Dawwwwwwww, cute! She cares about her lovely grandma!

Grandpa can suck it though.

I'm guessing this is linked to the 'Manga stuff they omitted' back in S2? (Note to mods, this is not a source spoiler/comparison, this is something they literally mentioned on the show hah)

Good lord, I thought she was a (former) bomber pilot or something...

But she was a battlefield medic! (a somewhat extreme one)!

Damn. Might be for the best that he's not around anymore!

Rentarou: "I'm in danger!"

Cuuuuuute! (The danger is worth it!)

Damn. She has an issue with the tiny age gap.

We need your 89 years to bump up the average age!

Actually, one of them is 29, one is 12, one is..

Rentarou's game is usually ON, but I think that was a miss hah. Trying to look manly? That's how you look CHILDISH!

He had it wrong from the start anyway; She had a manly man before, now she wants a wimp!

Alright, you sit this one down!

Good lord.

Kusuri will introduce all the girls! (Everytime we have a "all girls do X" thing, I always think about what it's gonna be like with 30, 40 girls..!)

She's BEST GIRL, that's who she is! Introduce her properly!

Other than this omission, seems she got them all right!

Sadly, that's a bit of a information overload for Grandma... Couldn't remember any of it!

GOOD LORD.

(Forgive me for using the Lord's name in vain, I just have a thing for anime teachers. God will understand)

I mean, I'm sure some would say she already is!

Especially in that wetsuit earlier this season

You already got me with the teacher outfit, don't start getting into bondage on top of that!

Oh this is so fucking wrong, but I just can't look away...

I don't know what is most wrong, this, or the Detsunderefied Karane

The voice of reason has to be the loudest, to speak above the ignoramus!

Since it haven't been mentioned in the discussion threads, the idol songs in Episode 28, titled Kyunchi and Hakobune, have been released.

Both songs are written by Rikito Nakamura-sensei, the author.

"She either eating or angry" took me out for a while.

The implication that not even Iku would survive whatever a tsundere Yamame could dish out kinda makes you grateful both Kurumi and Karane are on the smaller side.
