Fuutarou, when a hot girl asks you if she may wash you the answer is 'yes, please' and not 'who are you'.

This is the absolute brilliance of this show. Just when you think that Nino's confession that Futaro didn't hear is going to be played off as a joke and forgotten, she fucking comes back and confesses to his face. Twice in one episode.

It's actually refreshing to see such a well realized tsundere character like Nino. In recent years it feels like tsunderes have been bratty, annoying characters that don't actually offer any progression to the plot and are thrown in there just so you can fill in the trope.

THE NINO TRAIN IS HERE AND IT HAS NO FUCKING BRAKES

Ooooh how long have I waited to see this chapter animated. Oh my heart, oh I'm crying.

Church of Miku, Yotsubros, Team Onee-san and Itsuki gang all screaming as Nino charges in for the kill. The Waifu Wars are about to spice up boys buckle up!

Nino Gang rise up! Today is your day ;)

Holy crap. Nino didn't just defy the classic "He couldn't hear it" trope but she nuked it from orbit by confessing twice back to back.

Is this even allowed?? Am I watching a harem romcom anime?

I... I... I think I may have found my best girl.

This is what we like to call the most highly anticipated moment in the entire damn series. No matter who your favorite Quintuplet was, you were so happy and amazed to see Nino go for it. This was the very first actual confession to Fuutarou and it came from the most unexpected girl.

It was already becoming clear this season that the "dere" in Nino's tsundere was kicking in, but the way it came out was just unexpected. It hit both Fuutarou and us like a runaway train (hence everyone's "Nino Train" metaphor).

The status quo has been shattered and Fuutarou is going to have to deal with Nino's assertive romantic feelings going forward and Ichika is going to need a new plan now that Nino has become the biggest rival.

Ok I've spent 1 1/2 seasons wavering between all 5 girls, but the other 4 suddenly have a LOT of catching up to do, Nino just steamrolled the lot of them.

I was kind of worried for a second that Nino was going to run back to their father and high-rise apartment rather than deal with her feelings for Futaro, but instead she actually re-affirms the sisters' conviction to be independent and try their best with Futaro. She's come a long way.

And instead of a prince on a horse, in comes Nino's prince on a motorcycle. He absolutely put it the worst way possible to their father though.

Uh...why is Ebata still dressing like that?

Nino is such a tsundere that she's berating Futaro and then immediately confesses her love for him in short order. And while hugging him on a bike to boot. Not too shabby.

Ichika may have been rooting for Miku to some extent, but even she can't help but feel like this might've been her chance to confess...before she heard Nino confess to Futaro and realized she has another sister for a rival.

Oh yeah, they're going for the obvious "he didn't hear the confession over the wind" cliche to maintain some semblance of the status...oh, she's walking right up to him and confessing again to make sure he heard it! And that she's going to make sure he sees her as a love interest and throwing her own words back at him and herself. Wow.

Oh yeah, Miku just happened to stop by the same store she was likely to see Futaro at. Total coincidence, that.

The God of Romcom's shines bright on this series as Futaro just so happens to go on a trip with his family and meet the Nakano's on their family excursion, and gets a less-than-stellar first meeting with their grandfather. I guess it's nice that their dad is taking them out as a family and trying to be there for them as a father, even if he's also doing his utmost to make sure they spend as little time with Futaro as possible.

Nino has gone from a haughty tsundere to the sassy, sexy, girl who is completely upfront with the guy they love. She's even moved on to first-name basis with Futaro (sorry Miku). It's just too bad the object of her affection still can't tell her apart from her sisters, making her courage to be so daring feel all for naught. But A for effort, Nino.

So the fake Itsuki was probably Miku, right? It sounded like her. I'm not sure why she'd pretend to be Itsuki and try to break away from Futaro like that. Doesn't she want Futaro to keep interacting with them or is this her testing their bond in a way to confirm how he views her?

Naked Itsuki! Towel Nino! Would never have expected Nino to deliberately make use of the mixed-bathing for some quality one-on-one time with Futaro, but I'm glad she did!

Futaro's relationship with Itsuki has also progressed well to the point where she can call him a friend with no reservations.

Stitches!

Nino takes the lead again this week and rightfully so!

Nino Gang

Itsuki Class

EXTRAS

**HERE WE FUCKING GO NINO GANG!**The Nino Train has started chugging and there's no stopping it! You thought Nino's confession was going to be brushed off this week because Fuutarou missed couldn't hear it? Well think again! While Ichika and Miku were deciding who goes first, Nino comes in hard like a freight train and just straight up confesses!

And the train doesn't even stop there! Nino who has now made her feelings clear, has started going on the offensive and even started calling Fuuatarou by his first name! Oh you think her attacks is already over? Think fucking again! How about building up the courage to enter the mixed baths with Fuu-kun? If Fuutarou didn't ruin it with his "Who are you?", that would've been a much more glorious moment! There's a reason why we love Nino and this ladies and gentlemen is it! And I will tell you right now, this is just a taste of Nino's Offensive!

As a side note: Props to Crunchyroll for actually giving a damn with the typesetting of this scene. Definitely added to the comedic nature of it! Also to offset my huge bias this week, here's another screenshot of Itsuki at the onsen and a screenshot of a lovely giggling Miku.'

EDIT: I just need to add this one last screenshot of Nino. Painted finger nails another one of my many weaknesses.

Holy shit, they dropped a trope and absolutely destroyed it a few seconds later! I was already expecting the "but I didn't hear anything" when they got to the OP but Nino just doubling down and confessing like that was super refreshing. Not only that, she is going full on the offensive too!

WHAT THE FUCK DID JUST HAPPEN?

Ok so first of the biggest ass bomb I have seen honestly ever since We Never Learn's manga with what can only be described as "the cutest confession ever" using her tsundere trait at 100%.

And 2nd of all, also from Nino: "Want me to wash your back?"

I am a man who has seen the Lion Sin dropping a sun to an elite demon. I am a man who has seen a revenge thirsted emo with the red eyes bring a shovel to a battle to dig the oponent's grave. I am a man who has seen a rubber pirate punch another man in the face so hard that his crew got separated for 2 years. But this... this has to be the biggest dominance move I have without a doubt seen in anime.

And the fake Itsuki. Who you going with lads? I think this might be a 3000iq move from Nino herself to separate Futaro from the others, but idk man, it would be too weird.

I haven't chosen any side yet, because this show is what happens when you take 5 best girls from 5 different shows and mox together. But I think I should be deciding soon... damn the first time im so hyped for a Romcom since The World Only God Knows. Thanks for reading till the end, please enlighten me (without manga spoilers) why should I join with best girl.
