Yuri's match was fucking amazing, can't wait to see him go up against Joe!

Joe isn't gonna use any gear? That's pretty dangerous considering he'll be going up against the best of the best.

It must be funny to talk about a show as if still ongoing even though it has already ended.

Really impressive episode again, and well I really do wonder if Joe will actually forcefully fail there. I personally don't want that but I do am interested to see what he'll do to make his own dream come true.

Either way looking forwards to see what's next.

So the real nature of the deal that Nanbu made with Fujimaki came to light. It makes sense and I should've seen it coming, poor Joe felt so betrayed and frustrated.

Sachio's past and circumstances came to light too, it's clear that being as big as the Shirato's conglomerate is, that it can't have its hands clean, but I'm glad Yukiko wasn't directly involved and she seems willing to make justice if she can help it. That scene where Nanbu gave a knife to the poor kid putting him on that kind of situation was pretty heavy, but at least one of them is safe for now.

I also loved the heart-to-heart talk between Yuuri and Joe. Joe just wants to go as far as he can, betting on his own fists. Yuuri on the other hand is grateful to the person that held out her hand to him, and just wants to pay her somehow. It seemed that Joe wasn't satisfied with his motives, but to each their own.

I don't see Joe forfeiting his match at all, but I also don't see Fujimaki crossing his arms and doing nothing about it, these last few episodes are going to be intense.

Damn, Nanbu drove Sachio to Shirato's place and even gave him a knife. I wonder if he would've stopped Sachio if he didn't hold himself back. Who would've thought that Sachio would stop himself after seeing some kids around his age, albeit richer kids who are citizens. Sachio is smart and knows that his ticket for 'revenge' lies within Joe. He has a bright future ahead of him, he's witty and resourceful.

Damn, Yuri ain't playin he knocked out Pepe quick.

I guess Sachio will live with Yukiko for a while, a family he wants to kill in revenge for his father's death.

Also I liked the talk between Yuri and Joe towards the end and comparing Nanbu to a scorpion.

Joe urinating blood again. This cannot be any good.

Maybe Nanbu was testing Sachio by giving him the knife, or at least i hope so.

In a hispanic forum I saw a lot of people being annoyed because of José (Pepe) Iglesias' design, because he is a perfect Mexican stereotype. Since this anime has a lot of cameos and references, I did some research and found out that Tres Familias is a Mexican TV series. Still, I can't find if Spider is based in a real life person.
I like the fact that they actually hired foreigner voice actors to play those roles. I kind of got used to Engrish while trying to portray a foreign character in other series.

Nanbu agreeing with the proposition of letting Joe throw his fight when he joins Megalonia to be able to procure an ID was scummy but it was the only way he could've registered him. It really sucks that he only found out about it now though. He's on a streak and his old man just comes in and tells him to throw everything away. Driving the kid and giving him the choice to take his revenge with his own hands wasn't very nice of him to do as well but he knew that he wouldn't go through with that at least.

As much as I enjoy Engrish, it always surprises and impresses me when they actually get someone who's fluent in different languages. It's funny that it took them years to make this giant stadium only for the first of the three possible fights lasting a little over 5 minutes kek

The scorpion stopped thinking for himself and started taking precautions to keep Sachio and Joe safe from the mafia boss and not caring about what happens to him afterwards anymore and that's a tough thing to do especially for him. It's awesome that Yukiko agreed to take in the kid and actually conducted an investigation to confront those who stole his father's plans and killed him afterwards. Joe and Yuri had a cool friendly talk for once and shared their reasons for fighting. He better get ready because he's gonna make sure that he be seeing him in the squared circle.

I really liked this episode! For a while, I wasn't sure what to think of Joe; he's cool, he's persistent...and I usually just couldn't think of a way to describe him. But now, I feel like I understand Joe's character more. Also, Yuri seems a bit more interesting. I liked to convo he had with Joe.

Oh yeah, I'm glad that Sachio made the right choice. It just wouldn't be right for a kid to have blood on their hands...especially not a kid like Sachio.

Damn, that deal with Fujimaki sucks but it made sense, Nanbu didn't believe in Joe back then.

They got whole ass entrances in megalonia, that's fucking dope. I wanna see Joe get an entrance too. Bruh, Spider Pepe didn't stand a chance at all. Yuri beat his ass. That talk between Yuri and Joe was really great. I am sure Joe will not throw away the fight, how will they deal with Fujimaki though. Well, at least Sachio is safe in Shirato's hands.

Always with the lame excuses not to fight, using joe.. Just for his debt. But it won't stop Joe from fighting Yuri. He'll do it for sure, even if it means his own death.
Yuri's match was amazing. The mexican spider tried way too hard in the first minutes of the match. That's why he lost, Yuri got serious and beat the shit out of him in just 2 punches.
3 episodes left for the first season, can't wait for the second season.
This was a fun ride, binged 10 episodes.
