Yamada is one of the simplest Japanese family name to write in kanji (about 8 strokes in total) so maybe that`s the reason...

Anyone noticed that Souma and Sat were smoking outside while Inami was in in the locker room (for an obvious reason)? Or when Souma was back from the dept store that Yachiyo was still continuing her story about Kyouko?

Those small things sometimes just put a smile when I'm watching this series =)

Suppose so it is. That's because it is simple family name both "Yamadas" took it independently as their cover. Thanks for explanation

To throw my two cents in about the ongoing discussion;

the name "Yamada Taro" is essentially Japan's "Jon Doe" or "John Smith", being one of the most common names in the country, as well as very simple to write. (Heck, the name "Taro" in Japanese essentially means "first-born son".)
The name's "legacy" is also probably connected to the Yamada Taro of Japanese folklore, though I don't remember enough about it to give a good account.

Also, I agree with wpf, I think the "kiri-" that Souma mentioned was her brother Kirio. I think he was testing to see her reaction to her name so he could determine her relationship with her brother and decide if it would be a good idea to let them meet sooner or later. I too thought at first he had dropped part of Yamada's real name, but I don't think even Souma knows that... maybe.


I'm pretty sure life is a tsundere...

Who knows Takanashi can actually fight? I was so impressed when Yamada-kun caught Inami's punch. Turns out Takanashi could handle that pretty well himself.

I want Yamada as my imouto!

Cute episode, Yamada Aoi finally gets some family love from Souma. I wasn't sure why Souma didn't want them to meet, but it was cute nonetheless. I forgot that the male Yamada's name is Kirio. I thought Souma was about to say Kiriko, which would be the female version of Kirio. I thought maybe Kiriko would be Yamada Aoi's real name. Oh well, whatever. We'll see (or not, since shows like these typically never have these kinds of plot solved).

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Aoi lied her ass of right to his face. Takanashi can only see her as a deceptive girl who ran away from home and is trying to manipulate everyone around her. Would you think someone is cute if you knew they'd ruin your life like she is trying to do to otoo-san?

Pretty much the only times Takanashi has been shown to be annoyed with Yamada is how utterly incompetent she is at her job and everything else, not because of the obvious lie when she first introduced herself. Also how has she been manipulative? She only has a simple and earnest request to have an ideal family which is why she wants to be pampered by everyone as she essentially sees them as "family". She clearly means no harm and she isn't "trying" to ruin Otoo's life.

While i don't think what Souma did was particularly nice, in defense for his actions i don't think he did it for his own amusement, after all if they didn't meet nothing would happen. It would been more interesting for him if that had met, his actions have done nothing except tire him out. Perhaps he though it would be best to find out what the situation was, after all Yamada did run away, her circumstances in the worst case could have been pretty horrible.

She sucks at lying and she was caught immediately by Takanashi. As hard as he pried, she tried holding him off from finding out and everyone else accepted her lies and didn't care about her situation. He wanted to get rid of her but had no way to and he still doesn't want to put up with her. She manipulated herself into the staff. She attacked the managers weakness or have you forgotten? I think you're blind as a bat so I'm not even going to continue because you're trolling you prick.

Yes it slipped passed me that Yamada has been taking continuously advantage of Otoo's goodwill, this along with her obvious lies, it's perhaps understandable why people would think of her as a nasty piece of work considering she isn't helping one bit with her being as incompetent as she is. I don't think however she has any ill will, just immature.

And can we perhaps lay off with the insults? This page alone seems particularly bad and unwarranted.

Trust built off lies is bad trust. If you only want her for her body then you're a lolicon. She abused the MANGERS (KYOKO) weakness of food to get a job. She lies every time and it's more obvious than a road sign. When she's caught, she keeps adding more lies. She ran away from a caring mother who works hard to provide for her family. Her ideal family is one where she can sit around, get fat, and buy whatever she wants with money that has absolutely nothing to do with her. She is forcefully trying to switch families against the will and DESIRE of the people around her.

What I'm trying to say is, she is not beneficial in any way. She's like a virus. There is no cure except killing yourself. >_>

I don't get where you are confused. If you understand that the Kirio part of his name is real and only the Yamada is fake why to you wonder? "Kiri" is the start of Kirio. Or are people only panicking by last names and not first?
Another strange thought that came to me is that the word "kiri" i think is like kill-cut you or something in japanese so maybe we just got it all wrong. Not the most probable but just saying.

Lol, if Inami-san continues like that she's gonna be making company with Yuno from Mirai Nikki and those girls from Schooldays.

Also the slow-mo with Takanashi and Poplar and the others just frozen there watching them was such an lol moment.
But why does Takanashi reject Yamada from being his little sister. She's a lot smaller that his real little sister and the second smaller girl after Poplar. And how can he not see her cuteness.
But am happy for the Aoi moments. She was a little neglected lately.
I guess after this many will start Souma-Aoi love scenarios.

P.S- Are the people above me for realz? O_O

I was thinking that Yamada panicked because Souma might have said her real family name. So I was confused whether Kirio is the brother's real name, or her brother is using his family name as his first name. But then I remember that Souma did talk with Kirio.
Yeah, I was thinking too deep about Working to the point where I became stupid >.<

By your admission you would fail to qualify as one, though I believe it would be the content of the posts rather then their numbers that would better indicate whether one is a "real" adult. Though funny enough your insults appear nothing more than an instigation.

Wikipedia's spoiler:

Kirio Yamada
Aoi's older brother who has been constantly searching for her. Like Aoi, his surname is an alias which coincidentally matches her. He is the captain of a karate club and is strong enough to defend himself against Mahiru, who he gains a crush on.


Pretty nice. I wonder why they are hiding their surnames? Kirio looks pretty rich, so I assume Aoi left her family because of not paying attention on her by her parents (no free time for daughter?). Otoo is a first (and only) person who showed any interest in her, so she became attached to him that badly...

Haha I love Souma, he's so interesting. I wonder why he's so keen on not letting the Yamadas meet though? Even if they met, that doesn't mean Aoi has to leave. Souma x Aoi is cute, but I like Souma x Satou XD

It was funny seeing Takanashi react so negatively towards boy!Yamada haha. And he can actually overpower him! Didn't see that coming. He could at least stop Inami's blows if he wanted, he wouldn't need to hurt her or anything, so methinks he probably is a masochist. X3

I like how some of the character don't have quirks just because they can. For example, Inami hates men because her father's crazy, and now they're obviously hinting at something with Yamada and her brother.

Another nice episode and so far all character development along with comedy have been terrific for me. Truly a better season for progress and laughter. I really liked in this episode the following,

Takanashi getting Yamada's brother while he himself can stop Inami's punch is amazing. Not to mention the GAR response Takanashi gave out to Inami as to why he would not sure self defence against her.

Also what Souma asked Yamada to get is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shambal%C3%AEleh
it's a plant used in cooking possibly as a spice.

It is further to note that Inami in the following picture,

Made MOE over9000 heart arrest possible. Inami as a loli is too much for the MOE.

Elements list,
  • Yamada in her casual clothing in the following spoiler
    was quite gorgeous and a fine girl.

  • Loved it when Satou kicked Kirio in the spoiler
    that was gold and so reminded me of Sanjo from One Piece.

  • Got to admit that Taneshima’s hair style in the spoiler
    never disappoints. Always fresh and new many times, it certainly delivered the ROFL it should.
So in thee end I cannot express how much I wanted to punch Souma for being a jack to not let Yamade meet Kirio but when you see Yamade in the spoiler
you understand that her fear needs an understanding. Now you don’t want to mind scar Yamada by not understanding her fear of Kirio. I for one cannot wait to see the next episode soon.

Takanashi subduing Yamada-kun so quickly and easily was a big surprise - and he even surpassed him as a possible partner for Inami, because he refrained from hurting her.

And apparently the Yamadas do have some tragic background. Well, it was to be expected since Yamada has been a runaway from the start, but still... wow.

Hahaha, nice episode!

Lol at Takanashi mental breakdown, maybe I would go crazy too if my little sister is that high at that age :P

Meanwhile, Inami took whatever she could get from Takanashi,, :D
"Inami-san kawaii na..!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svPimTz2u9c

Takanashi sure leave a pretty good impression for telling that he hold himself to not using his self-defense technique up until now for the sake of Inami so that he wouldn't hurt her. Haha, that's cool. Having that kind of speciality was already awesome but the reason for not using it was far much awesome!

Btw, does Souma being considerate at this episode? At first I thought he was just playing, but then lookslike he then changing the reason after saw Yamada going blue when he says "Kiri--". It seems Yamada doesn't want to come back to her home yet.
