----------------------------------------
Eh it was an alright episode. Glad to see the show focus more on the main story with Yuki's spy agency on the move. For some reason, I find it funny when his spy agency is compared to the Wind Agency.

Decent action as well. Still, never underestimate their spy network. What a cliffhanger again lol. Yuki really knows how to stay one step ahead of his enemies.

I knew there's something suspicious with that Sakamoto agent.
Another D-Agency' mission accomplished and lesson learned about spy from Yuuki himself. Just how "scary" can he be to realize all about that?

So this was basically a pissing contest between the two spying agencies? Pretty pointless if you ask, but at least they made it somewhat entertaining to watch.

Lol spy fail in a nutshell. Damn Yuuki being Savage was so awesome to see.

Decent ep, with lots of wrongs point out. It seems like the Wind Agency were never on par with the D-Agency. They were miles ahead of the Joker Game.

Glad to see Yuuki taking center stage with the spy working background. And damn that Sakamoto like action!

So I suppose we'll be getting another one off next week, I hoped a bigger arc with the rest of eps but I'll take that too.

Ok that was a fun episode to watch... WInd Agency was all in full action for almost the entire episode but apparently they are actually being lolled by the D agency... Great Yuki appearance though ans I realised the stick and walking is also only for appearances.

Jitsui did his job amaizingly perfect.

Strongest episode, no question about it. 5/5

I cannot remember the last time someone got so completely owned like this. Yuuki just peckerslapped the bejeesus out of Wind Agency and made them look like a bunch of rank amateurs. The guy had no choice but to commit hara-kiri.

If I got totally shut down and humiliated like that, I'd want to kill myself too. This episode really showed just how much better and smarter the D-Agency is compared to the Wind Agency, they got destroyed.

Yuuki certainly knows how to obliterate his rival with ease. He made a complete mockery of the Wind Agency's plan as they made countless mistakes, one after the other, without realising it at all.

Jitsui also played his part well with the houseboy get-up. He maybe small, but he's extremely quick and agile, which got the better of his enemy earlier.

"Kill without hesitation. Die with honour." The now humiliated leader of the Wind Agency certainly stayed true to his motto at the end, although considering how much Yuuki verbally destroyed him, I doubt he had any honour left at all! XD

Best episode of the series so far, I say! ^_^

GOT RECK!!!!!

from watching this episode, i felt like seeing a person doing a magic trick to me and i'm like "woah....how did you do that. wtf is goin on ?" somethin like that, and after the magican revealed the trick, i'm like "are you freaking kidding me dude ? just as simple like that ?" LOL that's how i felt from watching this episode. simply one of the great episode imo. i don't know for other people but the drink trick and Yuuki's trick just blew my mind xD i didn't even give a fuck with Yuuki while he was driking in the inn nor even i knew it was him xD. well, i knew the glasses guy with the hat is on D-agency side but i didn't know how he will handle everything. i like this episode simply because of that. and the fact about the maids and the fact that the maid was the one who did all of that blew my mind too a little bit.

and did he, the cap of the Wind Agency just suicide in the end ? LOL i thought it was somethin else.

looking foward for the next episode.

I think it would have been more in his character if he totally ignored him, but Yuuki went out of his way to show up and tell him all the flaws of his plan. D-Agency dominated as expected, but I wish for a more complex plot that could last for more episodes. It would be nice if this got a second season, but stopped being episodic.

Ah, so the reason why Lt. Col. Yuuki wanted to recall Hatano way back in episode 3 was such that he could have some extra manpower to assist the D-Agency's spy-of-the-week (apparently Jitsui). Or maybe he was just conveniently in a layover between missions?

Commiting sudoku, when you got rekted so much that seppuku is not enough.

"How'd you get in?"
"I drove in through the front gate" <- troll Yuuki.
Well I was surprised last episode why Yuuki didn't try infiltrating one of his spies into the Wind Agency, but apparently he didn't consider them a treat serious enough to bother.
I was a bit dissapointed to see the Wind Agency being such a joke in the end (though I should have known with them being military and Sakuma from the first episode almost getting rekted as well for following the same blind mindset) oh well at least I got to see Yuuki being savage.

LOL. Sudoku is worse than seppuku, it makes you want to commit seppuku. XD

I was hoping that the Wind Agency would be more competent than this, I'd really like to see a parallel agency that could truly rival D-Agency. That way, these guys wouldn't seem so insurmountable, I doubt they truly are the only ones that shrewd enough to outsmart their opponents.

Jitsui was so cute with his glasses and innocent, school boy attire. I wanted to give him an apple. That little mofo is dangerous af.

"your military academy emblem is shit, shiit" --Yuuki

these last two episodes were intense
a bit of a shame D-agency is so subtle there is almost nothing to see everytime, the other agency (or just that one agent from the previous episode) even if more amateur was more entertaining to watch
(but burglary, blackmailing, and murdering were too risky and left too many traces behind)

they should change the name of the series to "random shots of men smiling".
also the fact they don't give you any clues to solve anything and then just show how things happened in an exposition flashback is so dumb.

i find that makes it harder to follow too, and the final exposition is bad storytelling (the usual "show, don't tell")

but that's cause the story is showed from the bystander or the victim's point of view, instead from the spy's point of view, unlike it usually happen in all other spy stories, (we actually saw it from the spy's point of view with the agent from wind agency in episode 8, that's why it was easier to follow )
here you just see things happening with no hints or direct witness, and at most you've to figure out by yourself where is the spy and what they are doing

this episode was a good example of that, the moment Jitsui showed up(the little spy) i knew the other agency was about to get played (still had forgot about yuuki's civilian appearance)

basically, this show is very demanding on the viewer, to figure things out by themselves
(i'm not sure if the first episodes were harder to follow since we were not used to it, or if they were just badly exposed, leaning on the latter for some of the first episodes)

Idk If it was the best episode or just because I did understood it fully and watched it in peace not like usual with all the noise ><" and once I saw that glasses kid I knew there something will happen xD
though I didn't recognize Yuuki when he was at the inn i'm glad they showed it out.
this episode was easy to fully and exciting seeing two agencies fighting the wind agency though was really bad especially the killing motto they have, I found it weird from the start.

I'm excited now to look for the novels :DD I hope I find one even if it's second hand xD
