Lily didn't appear much in the episode, with a lot of focus on Karin. There were some hilarious characters, such as “Rainy with a chance of sunshine” and “The Blindfold.” However, I have to say that this was one of the weaker episodes.

Despite this anime being about a Game Centre Girl, I was not actually expecting a whole episode dedicated to a tournament. I've got to give credit to Renji's commentary.

@LiSu8279 Gojo from jujutsu kaisen. I didn't catch it 17:31, your right ! Looking foward to Jujutsu kaisen season 3 January 2026.

It's a battle of who fidgets with their glasses better."
I have seen some of those.

"Seriously, what does that even mean?"
No idea here, either.

Momoko, looking great, both obverse and reverse.

Semifinals does not equal finals, but who cares.

Karin defeated, too much hubris. Even if she had the skills, she was exhausted, mentally more than physically. from many matches, while Renji got to rest and observe her moves. She should have taken a days to chill and come back fresh. I have seen it many times at fencing tournaments. At the start the best skilled fencers dominate, near the end, the best athletes dominate.

With a high display of low quality animated arena fighting in a tournament that had Lily immediately lose and Momoko as a surprising star, Karin was able to pull through it all and win that chance to be able to fight against Renji. Too bad it seems like he's still too out of reach but the journey itself was quite entertaining. I don't know who all of those weird quirky people were but in any case, it was fun.

In fighting games your reaction speed won't do much if you don't understand game mechanics and there is also slight delay in input. So your super reaction speed won't make you a pro gamer in 1 month lol.

Loved the episode! It was the most intense one so far. I didn’t expect Momoko to be that good of a fighting game player. I related to everything they said because I’m a fighting game addict myself, so when Momoko picked Wanko, I was immediately reminded of Bryan from Tekken 8.

Since Karin said Wanko has very good stats but ain't easy to control, haha, I think Tekken players will get what I mean. That aside, I'm really glad Renji kept his promise to Karin, reminded her of her place, put her back in her lane, and made her go grind ranked at home again, haha.

Can we have Gojo?

We have Gojo at home ahh character lmao.

The fighting tournament was pretty cool, when the show does stuff like this instead of romance with a grown man and little kids it’s decent. Feel bad for Karin, but now she has a goal to work towards. I’m rooting for her to beat Renji ass one day

That was a fun episode. Got a SF Akuma reference, Gojo (JJK), and Usui (Sket Dance). The end of the final battle reminded me Yusuke vs Chu (YYH, Dark Tournament Arc).

I play Tekken but I don't get the reference. I do get the M. Bison reference w/ Wanko.

As a fighting game enthusiast I absolutely fkng LOVED this episode, it was absolute peak for me.
The characters, the references to irl fgc players, and the "videogame" itself, everything was so funny, gave me a big smile on my face all way through. I've seen other fg tournament episodes in anime but this may be my favorite one yet.

Btw I love Aoi so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️


I find it so dumb and weird how they always treat Renji as this sort of retired pro player deity, when the dude is just an average 18y/o bud at his job lmao
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

@gio_lingad Bryan is generally considered a top 1–3 character in Tekken 8, but he’s also one of the hardest to control, if not the hardest. His strongest tools often require precise timing and inputs. If you don’t know what you’re doing with him, he can feel very limited since he doesn’t have as many easy, high-reward options as other characters. His startups are quite slow, his game plan is heavily neutral-based, and almost all of his high-damage and wall-carry combos are very difficult to execute. Because of that, I don’t really see how what Karin said about Wanko is similar to Bison.

Bison’s combos are really simple. He’s very beginner-friendly, his specials are easy, and his buttons are strong. So compared to both Bryan and Wanko, Bison is much easier execution-wise, though he still requires solid fundamentals to shine. I honestly don’t see how you thought they were similar.

The mc beating the champ Karin is a major feat. I honestly thought Karin would lose to kendo girl though given her reflexes. Pretty cute episode!

Wanko is dressed & has the same moveset as Bison.

Wow, a pretty darn good episode, I think I misjudged this anime early on. It's actually proving to be a pretty entertaining adaption.
I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life.
