Oh boy, some family history background storytelling. It's about time that Taiyo digs further into the truth about his family and their deaths.

One other thing this episode has shown if it wasn't obviously around is that Shion is a genius in technology and uncovering information. Such a reliable member of the family.

Taiyo's care for his defeated opponents is sweet lol.

Shion's investigation uncovers that the marble obtained from Kurogao contains a wedding reception list for the 9th generation Yozakura couple, intended for public release. Astonishingly, the names of Taiyo's late parents, Hide and Akari Asano, are on the list. This revelation means that the Yozakura and Asano families were connected even before Taiyo and his siblings were born. Determined to uncover the true cause of his family's deaths, Taiyo decides to visit the Library of the Dead—a terrifying place where if you make a sound, you die. With Shion's support, Taiyo searches for documents related to his parents.

Taiyo soon finds out that Tanpopo, an organization targeting Mutsumi who have had a number of encounters with the Yozakura Family in the past, were the cause of his family's death. Soon after finding this out someone named Me-Chan, who patrols the Library of the Dead, using her nails to impale anyone who makes noise, who also guided by Shion through his earphones, and which after finding the information on Taiyo's parents on a device, it explodes loudly, drawing Me-Chan's attack. Taiyo ducks and uses Yae to turn off the lights. Chasing him in the dark, Me-Chan is knocked out by Mutsumi's loud scream through Taiyo's earphones, allowing Taiyo to carry her away.

Really like how everything is eerily connected.

Damn actually a pretty serious episode for once. Love the wholesome and cute stuff with Taiyo and Mutsumi, but it’s nice to get some story as well heading into the second cour.

Finally after the teases for the past few weeks we learn more about Taiyo family’s death and man now I’m really curious about this Tanpopo shadow organisation. Just how deep does this conspiracy go? Even Kyo couldn’t get a proper read on them and they were able to take out Mutsumi’s mom, so they must be operating at the very highest levels of power. I love a good old fashioned conspiracy set up.

Using Yozakura blood and by extension being after Mutsumi’s literal heart is an insane villain motivation. Really excited for this second cour, feels like we’re just getting started here

Another great episode, Taiyo and Mutsumi still have a great dynamic as per usual. A great balance of comedy and seriousness once again too.

That lady with the claw hands was actually really cool ngl, I hope we see her again. But I doubt it tho.

I hope we see Kyouichirou fight more. Threads are probably my favourite weapon in anime. Idk why there just really cool. Probably why I like Rui so much from demon slayer.

By the looks of the new kv taiyo is gonna get some knew power and weapon. Which is great cause a zappy gun is pretty lame imo.

Taiyou got some clues now but dang that librarian Me-chan was something else. Even killed a guy that was smiling really hard.

Somebody should've blasted some loud noise to stop her ages ago.

They did a good job on the disguises. Mutsumi seems to have aged well but I really hope this isn't what Taiyou looks like when gets to his 70s.

With this the Tanpopo (Dandelion) Arc is starting and now we know another reason (probably the most important reason) why the head of the family is targeted.

This series has been a hit or miss for me.
I don't think I have ever rated an episode of this anime with anything other than a 3 or 5!
So far there have been more misses than not, but this new arc had a great beginning.
It seems like the hit rate will increase for the new cour.

The analysis from Kurogao of the Yozakura's 9th head wedding reception, with Taiyo's family being part of it, Mutsumi thinking that it's her fault, the truth is more complicated than that. Though this information is readily avaliable, it means that there may be more information on it, which leads to the Spy Association's Library of the Dead to avoid being captured by its librarian of Me-chan to find that illusive evidence...which resulted to nothing...if he didn't know any better that the assassination being done by an organization called Tanpopo, that's all he ever needs as much as progress is concerned.

Turns out, this organization also killed Mutsumi's mother, and eliminated Taiyo's father's medical field-related people, which Kyoichiro goads Taiyo into wanting to discover the truth, now that they're possibly targeting Mutsumi as well. And one of them is Makoto Kawashita, the director of his own medical facility, which the couple infiltrates the hospital to figure out what he's up to under the guise of an elderly couple. The truth about the Yozakura Family's someinine being one powerful mass weapon of destruction, Tanpopo were indeed seeking her out, though Taiyo has already made a backup so that he continue his investigations from there on out.

This Tanpopo organization is trouble, both for Taiyo and the Yozakura Family...

Such a sad ending for Taiyo’s family. Everyone died in that car accident, except him. It seems that Tanpopo is behind all of this plan.

It is very interesting that Yozakura and Asano families had a connection even before they were born, because Mutsumi’s mother and Taiyo’s family were all killed by Makoto Kawashita. Taiyo and his family will get rid on him and they’ll get a nice revenge upon him.

I loved the fact about someinine found in Yozakura’s head. Thanks to that protein, their abilities are so well-developed and everyone is very powerful. This anime is great till now, I love it, OP and ED are so funny =)

@IzanaSolos Me-chan has a sister, who ran the bookstore that Kyoichiro went to. I almost thought they were the same person, but it makes sense one sister would be a librarian and another a bookseller

@hai_X_is I think she doesn't kill most of them, it just seems like it without considering the superpower level of skill they can have. Though for her to stab right through someone's head and not kill them means those claws have micron level sharpness to get between all the nooks and crannies

Finally, the main plot advances, and the organization responsible for the death of Taiyou's family is the same one that killed Mutsumi's mother.

Things are getting serious, especially with the confirmation that the blood of the head of the Yozakura family (Mutsumi) is a kind of super-soldier serum, which adds a more interesting twist to what might happen to Mutsumi. But there is something I don't understand: why is Taiyou listed as deceased in the library records when he is not?

Well, in any case, I'm glad the story is moving forward.

You got a point there. Probably has similar mechanics to Kyoichiro's steel spider. impressive if she's just hitting pressure points to stop them from moving.

@hai_X_is The manga specified it somewhere in the chapter this adapts in the library, but they likely had to cut out some stuff for distillation adaptation

The story definitely picked up and got more serious as Taiyo has uncovered that his parents' and brother's death was no accident. What makes this more intriguing is that the organization behind this, Tanpopo, also killed Mutsumi's mother so this is personal for both of them and the Yozakura household.

I'm now more interested in this and looking forward to how this plays out.

@Narizor I feel like it may have been answered in the manga, but there are 2 highly likely answers: someone within the organization is a mole or 2, someone in the organization is an inept moron that doesn't actually confirm stuff. We've seen spies not exactly be that smart or have major forethought on stuff

Correct. It's from chapter 35. Been so long since I've read the beginning.

I forgot to read the description when she appeared in the anime so it was probably mentioned there.

@hai_X_is I don't recall it specifying that she had that capacity but I think they at least said she was a librarian at the Library of Death. And...silver ranked Spy, which is decent, though gold rank is such there are under 10 in the series, I think

Oh great, we're finally back to what really matters.

Library part was ludicrous. I can't even...

So it's all about Yozakura special blood. How is Asano family involved though? I don't think they were just unfortunate victims loke 14 other people. There has to be a deeper connection.

World's most restrictive library would definitely have to go to Me-chan's library of the dead! Watching all those people get skewered with ease was super shocking.

The Tanpopo organization is already quite the cruel one. I wonder why they had Taiyo as eliminated on their files... The mysteries keep stacking up!

So we got some more clues to Taiyo’s death, and the death of Mutsumi’s mother. Taiyo’s family died in an “accident” on Karizakura Pass on June 6. Hide was 39 at the time of his death. Hide worked in the medical field. He along with 15 other people in the medical field also died in these accidents and they’re all connected to one person, the head of the Kowashita Medical Clinic, Makoto Kowashita.

So Taiyo and Mutsumi go undercover as Kousei Hirukawa and his wife Mutsuko Hirukawa. Before the confrontation, Taiyo expresses his true desires and feelings for Mutsumi (probably accidentally), and it was a touching moment.

We then find out via the mark on Makoto’s neck that he’s a member of Tanpopo and likely orchestrated the death of Mutsumi’s mother and Taiyo’s family.

Luckily, Taiyo already extracted the information, so more will be revealed in time.
