| The amount of characterization Togami is getting is amazing. Not only does it explore his change and role in the show, we get to see why he's fighting. Sakura vs Togami has been more one of the better fights this season imo. Choji and Sakura also broke their usual characters by showing more of their crazy side. What an episode, they really capture key moments in ths episode imo. |
 |
| That was quite the fight, in the end Jo gave up to set things right. Hopefully Sakura will get much stronger in the future. Choji is pure trash as shown. I still don't understand why he suddenly got so hung up on his power from being a happy go lucky type but it's time for Umemiya to put some sense into him. |
 |
| Not-Gojo really ended the episode with a "Nah, I'd win" huh ... Another incredible episode -- this arc has been an absolute treat to watch |
| What Choji did to Togame after the fight was messed up and I hope Ume puts that overpowered brat in his place. |
 |
| The fight between Sakura and Togame was so damn Epic! Umemiya saying a fight was just another way of conversation held so true in the entire fight. Easily the most hyped and best fight in the series till now. Togame's story was really sad. He wasn't a bad person by any means but sadly he didn't want to lose his best friend's 'smile' and got emotionally (albeit passively) manipulated to do the dirty work and be the bad guy. I really hope he can now change for the better. Tomiyama definitely has a few screws loose. He has been Such a jerk till now that he really gets on my nerves. I can't wait to see him getting humbled by Umemiya. The moment where Umemiya confidently says he'll win completely reminded me of Gojo saying the same thing.   |

| This was the best anime episode of the season , just PEAK. |
| Chills were had. I was moved. Contender for top 5 episode of the season. It’s saying something when the best part of an episode this well animated and choreographed wasn’t even the fights. The OST during Togame’s opening monologue set the tone for the episode. Poignant and tense. When we first met Togame I assumed he’d be a shallow meathead antagonist, but in the span of two episodes they gave him more characterisation than some characters get in a season. The juxtaposition between he and Sakura and him gradually realising that he lost his way was so well done. What particularly stood out to me is how every single punch and kick acted not just as a hype moment, but as a reminder for Togame of the person he was and how he should’ve stayed on the path. Hearing Sakura spout all that idealist stuff really hurt him because he knew Sakura was right and he reminded him of a younger version of himself. It’s better to lose friends than to lose yourself and that’s such a powerful moment when we see Togame grasp that. They use the Shishitoren emblem “fading” as a nice double entendre there too. Both literally and figuratively no longer being what it used to be. The final few seconds of the fight, the slow mo, OST and Sakura ultimately winning was beautiful too. I was half hoping Choji wouldn’t do anything disrespectful to his supposed best friend.. but even Togame wasn’t safe from getting ridiculed and called weak. Don’t blame Sakura at all for wanting to punch him there. But, Ume gonna have something special for Choji next week. No way someone who treats their own gang and friends like that could ever beat him. Start of the fight was already crazy so I can’t wait to see next week’s ep ππΎ |

| So yes: I finally like the Gojo knockoff, the retarded child is still shit and all the drama in this episode is cringe. 3/5 |
| Time flies when you're having fun, no shit, those were the shortest 20 minutes so far. Now another long week until Ume-mommy scolds the bakemono-brat. Can't tell which of the last three fights I enjoyed the most but I'm all for the newly founded respectful rivalry between Sakura & Togame. Leave that cage of abuse and despair and just c'mere dear |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| Kame and Sakku friendship is one of my fave~~ |
| The difference between Ume and Gojo is that Ume ain't no fraud. |
 |
| He looks so much better with his hair down! Please keep it like that from now on. I love how they were fighting like maniacs. It was just wonderful to see lol Both Sakura and Togame were enjoying the fight! I don't know what emotions were going through Choji’s mind. He's so hard to read with those emotionless eyes. I wanted a tied, but ofc Togame let Sakura win. I hope Umemiya destroys Choji. |
 |
| I had a feeling that Choji was going to hit Togame after he lost but I wasn't expecting Sakura to stand up for him, it shows both character development and respect. On that note Choji only cares about strength and winning with no loyalty or respect to anyone else so I see him not only losing but being on his own unless he has an epiphany or something. |
| this show is kinda cool with the fights, until they open their mouths. |
 |
| wooooow this show is only getting better |
| well done episode, just as i expected from the manga |
 |
| "Bofurin is full of strong people!" *points at everyone but literally skips over Nirei* XD Ok but that animation was awesome, this ep had not just 1 but 2 epic battles :D Chobi vs Mikey — who's the more psycho gang leader?? |
| If combat is a dialogue, the clash between Sakura and Togame felt almost like a revelation. Togame even addressed Sakura by his real name instead of "Othello-kun." The vacant expression in Tomiyama's eyes as he saw Togame's duel with Sakura was equally interesting. I wonder if Umemiya truly has the ability to mend him. |
