| I don't think it's a surprise that Tetsuo would actually kill to protect what he loves. It's his natural instinct. That being said, this was a thrilling episode finale with a lot of emotions and Tetsuo is lucky to make it out of all this mess alive. The finale did feel a bit rushed though, and in respect, I wish they could've expanded this story a bit longer. Still quite a thrilling ride though. |

| How conspicuous that the finale episode of this show has to be on Father's Day. As memories linger in Tetsuo's mind, his struggle with Matori, for the father that was under immense stress from the moment he was born, he never felt love, not even after his wife bore Nobuto and treaded him down the path of the juvenile. Desperate, desolate, lost and out of love, Kubo was his only support in being a "father", being human in the Yakuza organization. And here he is, fighting against Tetsuo for the loss of his only son's life, ready to kill a person...of which Tetsuo would be his first. Instead, Matori stabbed himself with a knife, which coincidentally has the police banging on the residence's door, wanting to know if everything's alright. Tetsuo, not wanting to be caught red-handed, restrains Matori till he's out of commission, and he has to not let the police find out of his crime as well. Sometime later, the seach for Matori reels no fruit, because Tetsuo still has one more thing to do: as Reika reminisces of her own father being her Home Hero, he transports Matori's dead body into the woods to be buried, with his entire body aching from head to toe, and having come so far to this point. This is where the iconic panel from the manga comes from (as well as Volume 1's cover) as Tetsuo's sins are too much to account for, with his wife Kasen overly worried to the point of slapping him twice. With Reika been well, life returns to normal for the Tosu family and everything is at peace and happiness. The anime just could NOT reach the levels of the manga, even with Part 1 fully adapted. That said, the story was the only thing holding the anime at the best of times with the thrilling suspense, and at least is a decent adaptation overall. |

| Holy molly that face is going to haunt me Overall a very entertaining thriller, but i guess a second season 2 won't ever happen At this point i'll just wait for the manga to finish and read it from start to finish (if its even subbed) Solid 7.5/10 gonna be missed as one of the best animes of the season. |

| That timing of the OP was painful damn Tetsuo got his hands dirty again, even if it wasn't entirely his fault. He really needs a break man. I was very nervous during the scene with the blood leaking under the door. ...how did he carry the body outside and find a car without anyone noticing? 16:45 Volume 1 cover. I was afraid that someone from the organization will notice him. 22:02 "I'm sure it'll be fine." Man, this is creepy. I think he going a bit nuts from all the crap he experienced. Well this is an abrupt ending alright. I wonder if anything was cut/rushed this episode? This was a cool anime but it definitely would've benefitted from better production quality. This probably would've worked better as a live-action adaptation. I would very much like to see more anime like this with better production. 8/10 Also damn today is Father's Day, I didn't realize. How fitting. |

| I guess to the father Nobuto was the star that kept him going. The hamster was a pretty good excuse though a very thin one. Getting a cramp when swimming really is risky even more so when at sea as well. You know with this kill Tetsuo really has managed to carve out a new talent for killing in the name of protecting. I feel that mother nature would be playing a hand next with the typhoon. Overall as a finale it was a solid one that managed to wrap up the narrative with Tetsuo's grim victory over the father. Though it was a bit late the inclusion of him and Nobuto's past really added weight to his motivation for going so far that contrasted well with Tetsuo's desire to save his daughter. Though if the police had actually waited and saw the blood under the door things would have been really different. Tetsuo's last facial expression though was damm creepy. |

| I think it's a pretty cool coincidence that this finale aired on Father's Day. Or maybe they actually planned this from the beginning? It's hard to tell. It's finally over. The series and the suffering of the Tetsuo family. Or so it seems. Nobuto's father Matori is dead. And the yakuza don't seem to be interested in pursuing this hunt for Nobuto's killer. I felt bad about Matori. His parents failed him. And he failed his son. He had the chance to be there for Nobuto. But that chance was taken from him. Ultimately, it was his fault for failing to parent Nobuto and not being there for him when he was a child. But I still feel bad cause maybe if they had enough time, they could've turned over a new leaf. So, is it really over? Even though it seems most of the plot points were wrapped up, it still didn't feel like an ending to me. With the manga still ongoing, no way this was the end. Now, the question is whether or not there will be a season 2. I really enjoyed this anime. I think its biggest flaw was its animation. I think if it had a higher budget and a more experienced director it would've been way better. My Home Hero seems to be the directorial debut for Takashi Kamei. He did a decent job but I think the series deserved better. Because I loved the story and I think it really could've used better execution. Most people seemed to have dropped the series by episode 3. And I agree the first episodes were very rough and had pacing issues. But it kept getting better and better and soon enough I didn't care about the animation anymore. But it was distracting at times. So yeah, I really hope this gets a Season 2 because I really want to see where the story goes next. |
| I'm kinda disappointed, all this struggling and he just resorts to killing again. But with how thorough he was disposing of Nobuto's body, now he just buries the father in a random location, which is reckless! considering what we saw before. But of course, no one cares about the whiny boss, and the boss wasn't actually a big deal from the start. Feels a bit pointless. 6/10 |

| Welp, I was not expecting Matori-san to stab himself after that exposition but that and the bullshit hamster explanation is what got everyting back to "normal". Yeah, I'm not keen on how things got resolved but we at least got somewhat of an ending for a series we'll msot probably won't get a sequel. This was not a good adaptation. Lackluster animation and direction got my main attention since they could have done at least as good as the opening sequence. As a result, many thrilling scenes didn't quite deliver and the suspense wasn't there. That isn't to say the story is bad, but you need to have let some things pass by their own logic for them to make sense, and in that regard it was certainly a disappointment. I'll at least say that the show got me intrigued enough to look up the manga which I'm sure must be good. For now, this is not something I'd recommend. |

| Tetsuo's life sure wasn't easy. The man had to murder twice to protect his family. I started this show because a friend told me it could be interesting (and he dropped while I kept watching >_>) and it's not usually the genre of anime I watch, but I really liked this one. The last 3 episodes felt like they had 5 minutes and got me anxious for what would happen next. I think the opening song is the most beautiful of the season, and the ending song is good. It was a worth watch, 7/10. Hope for a sequel someday. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Tetsuo just killed Nobuto's only family and thought that he is safe. But the natural forces have other plans. The freaking cliffhanger, now I wonder if he would be caught when Nobuto's father's body would be found after being uncovered by the storm. The overall story covered in this season was great, the animation was not so good that's why it's a 6/10 for me. |
| Holy shit these mad lads, how are they going to have a cliffhanger on the final episode?? 😂😂😂 Joking aside, this was a fun watch. The mystery and suspense were enjoyable. it lead me to sympathize for the characters. No one is truly good, and no one is truly evil. But a mix between the two. With that said, I can't suggest enough to read the manga it gets better in the second act. Still, this was a good watch and another successful ad campaign to read the manga, lol. I won't hold my breath for a second season, but I'll keep my fingers crossed like Nobuto... |

ShihammeDarc said: What did the ending imply? With the mudslides and heavy rain, the ground will shift, so anything buried in the ground will move and may or may not rise from the debris. Edit' Given by what he The T man says and his facial expression. he wants to believe everything will be fine. but given his personality to give attention to detail. he is lying to himself . Is my guess on the situation. |

| Oh my, I will miss this anime and the opening. It was way more 'enjoyable' than I expected! I feel for Tetsuo, protecting your family like this is definitely not easy, especially with that kind of ending. Have the feeling that karma is still not done with him :( |

| Wow this finale made absolutely no sense. I mean for once leaving aside how Nobuto's father just stabbed himself because... he felt like? Even the things which followed through were just happening for the sake of convenience. In what world police doesn't even try to act when something TOTALLY suspicious is happening just behind the door??? Lamoooo, and wait how did Tetsuo get that mini truck lol. Also let's pretend the organization or whatever Nobuto's father was part of didn't even try to contact or search him, even though the man's been gone for that long. Anyways logic was never a part of this series to begin with, but it still kinda made watching fun from time to time. Plenty of inconsistencies, but whatever someone could do with these limited episodes anyways. Atleast it gave that thrill if nothing. |
 |
| wtf is that ending? There's a lot of unresolved shit. Is this only part of the manga? wtf |

| Animation and writing could've been better (wife being so accepting of the murder, Kyoichi finding balcony scratch marks, etc.), but still quite the unique and entertaining story |
 |
| Wow, Nobuto was already ugly as a baby! Anyway, this was a great finale! Although the disposal of Matori's body felt a bit rushed, I almost died during that police scene! Which leads to my final thoughts about this show. I actually chose to read the manga chapters after each episode. There are quite a few details in there, which were missing in the show. Nothing story-changing though. And while I believe they chose a good number of chapters to adapt, I would've prefered it to run for 13 episodes. However, even though the Manga was more detailed, the sheer tension and suspense created by this story being animated over "just" a manga easily makes up for that. And for the messy animation too. As for the story itself, I had very high expectation. I started watching a lot of seasonals since Spring '22 and out of all the shows I picked up based on trailers and synopses, this one was certainly the one I was most hyped about. And it didn't disappoint. It has a very strong premise already, and it executes this very well. The fact everything in this story could happen in real life creates an insane tension. The characters were just great. Tosu and Kasen are such cool and relatable protagonists! And even "anti-villains" like Kyoichi or neutral characters like Hibiki had a lot of depth and really got me invested in the moral conflict of the show. I really liked the OST too. Easily a 9/10. I hope there will be a second season! Although by then, I will probably be ahead in the manga. I wanna know how this continues! |
Softhenic03 said: He realized he was too weak to kill Tetsuo, so the next best thing was to frame him for his murder, then the organization would carry out his revenge and kill Tetsuo and his family. Pretty stupid plan, but it's not like he was the calm and collected type. Wow this finale made absolutely no sense. I mean for once leaving aside how Nobuto's father just stabbed himself because... he felt like? |
| the mudslide will hide his body forever |
AnimeFan500 said: I thought the opposite lol. I immediately thought that mudslide would result in the corpse being discovered by road workers or whoever comes to fix the mess after the typhoon. the mudslide will hide his body forever |
| It's sad the show had very low budget. OST is great though. Story is sometimes cringe due to conveniences and straight up asspulls, but still enjoyable overall. Gonna continue the manga, I wonder if the body gets discovered after landslide (most likely IMO) and I wonder if Tetsuo ends up killing more and more Yakuza to protect his family. Don't forget the Yakuza are still targeting his family, this time to extort money using video where Tetsuo "kills" dude in the woods. And I wonder if Kyouichi will be seen again. I hope so. Don't think they'll give us S2. |
| Had its good points but in the end it felt like an ad to get people to read the manga. Might pick it up later. |
| To nobody's surprise, pops was left a bit of a twizzler after all that. Can't blame him, really. I liked the anime. I really did; however, I wouldn't exactly describe it as "enjoyable," you know? |
 |
| So it's over... or is it? Gotta say that the suspense throughout this series was great with some good cliffhangers at the end of some episodes. Even this finale ended on somewhat of a cliffhanger with Matori's body possibly being unearthed by the typhoon. Unfortunately there are many unanswered questions such as how did Tetsuo drag the body out of the apartment and take it several stories down to the (presumably) rented truck? What is the state of the apartment? Did he get help in moving the body? Did he tell his wife afterwards? Will the Yakuza return to search for Matori's whereabouts? By the way, Tetsou is a smart guy with quick thinking skills and he again showed that in this finale when he came up with an excuse for the noise by using an escaped hamster and that also justified why he couldn't open the door to the police. Anyways, beyond the unanswered questions the animation was rather poor and the character designs were average, however, the plot and storyline were mostly good and as I previously said the suspense was great. Overall I give this a 7/10 and if a second season is ever announced I hope that it gives background on how Tetsuo moved Matori's body among other details. |
| I have a bad feeling about that landslide uncovering the body, though i doubt they could pin it on him. still, an awkward way to end, didn't feel complete and yet i couldn't bear to watch any more. Not that it was bad, it just gives me anxiety and i was hoping they'd wrap it up. you can only dodge so many bullets. |

yveltalkyogre said: fantastic anime, hope for season 2. Yes, me too! Meanwhile I read the manga. |
 |
| wtf was that bro ? WTF WAS THAT SMILE? |
| That was the most Anime Original ending ever. |
 |
| Tetsuo killed for the second time, I really didn't expect that, but he had a strong reason to do it: to protect his family. Personally I liked the ending, the characters went through a lot so now a bit of peace and quiet is not bad, but if I'm left wondering: what will the gang members do? Will they suspect Tetsuo again? Will there be a second season? There are too many questions ._. Kansen is the MVP of the anime and Reika is the stupidest, if only she hadn't messed with Nobuto nothing would have happened.  |
