| I really like Tensai xD But that episode was actually quite good, I really like the way they summed up the back story. Juugo is a thief? That's pretty darn cool, I was kinda confused at first but the way they put it all together was great, and his talk with his father was really good. But dat Tensai, I really like her, not actually sure if he is going with nanana or tensai but I really like tensai so I hope he picks her. |
| It seems a lot of people got lost on what just happened in this episode. As far as I understand that Juugo was been exiled by his dad because Juugo doesn't want to be the successor of his dad. But it turned to be it was in favor for him and he's finally free from is horrible home and can finally live peacefully on his own. And he doesn't really know about Nanana or the collections at all. So I really think he wasn't a part of Matsuri Phantom Thieves and it seems that it just a coincidence that those thieves was doing some activities on the same location where he was living (Was been planned by his dad all this time). But I also think that Juugo really knew what was the plans of the thieves that's why he got the "The Eye of Yuguthos" collection but he's only using the thieves to help Nanana so she can finally be in peace. So Juugo was not a thief or a bad MC,because why would he trick the thieves by giving them a fake part of collection which is the "The Eye of Yuguthos" gem/crystal. |

| Haters always gonna hate. |
| This show somehow turned a little dark. I'm not too sure if like it or not. |

| Haters always gonna hate. |
| A totally change of direction that I didn't expect, thig might even be decent. Also, dem animations hell, were plenty of good. The interactions between the characters feel weird and random though. |
 |
| Damn, the beginning part was unexpected, can't believe that Tensai noticed it was a fake. Wow the battle was also unexpected and its pretty fluid between Yukihime and Yu. Damn, Juugo was different then before, acting pretty serious and taunting Isshin about his dreams. He is 2x badass on that part. And it ends with the cane is secured. Tensai knew it all along when Juugo is planning on something, some mastery detective that she has. The conversations between him and his dad was interesting, something that is related to Matsuri. Some good conversations between Nanana and Juugo. Tensai and Juugo are pretty badass MC's in here. can't wait for more. |
| I was really confused by the plot twists of this episode. Had to go to the forum and check on stuffs that I forgot from past weeks episodes. iLostReason said: xxdeathx said: i can't make sense of all the twists and i'm losing track of all the characters. Who/what is matsuri, ikkakku, who is working for each of them, who is juugo, what is tensai doing...? Huh? Matsuri is name of thiefs organization Juugo used to work for before his Dad (chief of the organization) exiled him to island where Nanana lives, it probably happened because Juugo refused to success his father and left organization.Juugo used Yukihime and the other guy (who both work for Matsuri) to get one of Nanana's collection (cane).He tricked them by giving fake Light-up Lie Detector as reward for their help, which means Matsuri is looking for Nanana's collection too.I think Juugo's father planned everything. Ikkaku is current head of Great 7, person who Yuiga had deal with.For now we don't know more about him. Tensai...is being Tensai.She moved in next to Juugo and Nanana because she thinks of Juugo as her rival now.In her eyes he's probably still a thief who's working for Matsuri. So after reading this. Now It does make sense when I rewatch this episode for the second time. |

| The episode was confusing and random that its hard to process. Still, the characters aren't bad. Juugo ain't no ordinary high school kid, and Tensai further proves her skills. I don't know what to feel or think about this episode. |
| So Juugo teamed up with the thieves gang called "Matsuri" in order to retrieve the cane and so that Tensai doesn't find out who he really is, SACRE BLEU! Lol those girls can really fight, I didn't know they were martial artists in hiding. This show is way more violent than I thought it would be to be honest. It looks like every character is hiding their true identities and who they word for or with whom behind a mask. Juugo actually knew at what time and where that package would drop because he used Matsuri lol. So Juugo's father is actually the leader of Matsuri and he wanted his son to take over the group. It looks like things are really getting interesting. |

Dunkjoe said: Welcome Samurai Flamenco!! Exactly. lol This show is at its best when it's Indiana Jones. I'm not feeling this plot twist. |
| Dat cute hug in the beginning. Welp, not really Juugo. ._. So Juugo has a dark side huh.. Totally didn't expect it. Such a huge plot twist. |

GrimaH said: OK, guys, you can go back to your Mahouka and Damidaler now. How dare you?! Daimidaler is a masterpiece compared to Mahouka. Dunkjoe said: Welcome Samurai Flamenco!! Oh please. As far as plot twist goes this is pretty normal, shocking but nowhere as "in-your-face" as Flamenco. I also don't feel any part that was forced to be funny since it's pretty much action for the entire episode. The fact that some people couldn't follow the plot twist confuse me. I thought the episode made it pretty clear what's happening. |

| This... is an interesting twist. I was kind of expecting this to be more adventure and puzzle solving then.. Well, whatever this is. Not that I dislike it though, this interesting turn might be better in the end. |
| Hi! |
| lol Juugo just what are you? xD well i the plot twist didn't make me "wtf?!" like i did with to Samurai Flamenco, instead it made me more interested in Juugo.. Tensai awesome as always! |
| ran out of power pretty quick. so juugo was in with the matsuri ppl? hmm |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Chara backgrounds. Thx a lot, I'm finally interested. |
 |
| Woah woah wait, Jugo, please explain yourself here. What a fight scene! Well, this episode is okay tough it feels that it came out nowhere. Anyways, I was about to scream when Tensai hugged Jugo but nope, there's a bang after that. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
Dunkjoe said: Welcome Samurai Flamenco!! The plot twists seem a bit too developed for 1 episode. Last episode we see Juugo as a normal, spirited teenager. This episode? Song of some huge wig who could afford 100 m yen for a cane that they could have just snatched away. O yea, a criminal organisation's boss or smth is a businessman, he doesn't steal. Yea sure....>_> Pay attention to the episode before whining pls. Matsuri is the thief organization and Ikkaku Shunju is the great 7 who created the island. They're not related at all, at least from what was revealed this episode. Dunkjoe said: And what's with the "Rule the world" and "Magic" concepts? It just seems weird. The club president said he could do whatever he wishes with the cane... I was thinking... why not just rob the guy he wanna buy from then? Or a million other possibilities? Why do so much and attract the attention of others? He didn't want the money, he wanted to meet up with Ikkaku Shunju to possessed him to give away the island. Dunkjoe said: And finally, probably the worst part of this episode... I do not get how the producers could squeeze in comedy in serious moments. And worse, those "comedic moments" were not even funny -_-. The tone went serious then light then serious then light then serious etc. in some moments. I think that's just you. You seem too butthurted at this anime for some reason, chill down a little. As for the episode, looks like I was right thinking that Juugo is related to Matsuri and he's actually the leader's son too lol. Though I didn't expect them to reveal it this early in. I like how Tensai is basically catching up to everything that's happening, avoiding any overused needless drama which is quite refreshing. Props to the author :) Anyway, how come there's not much talk about the LN yet even now or is it fairly new? With the way the story goes so far, I'd thought that it is a popular LN or there's just no one who care to check out this LN in the first place. I hope it will get popular and have decent sales so we get to see more of it in the future ^^ |
| I personally thought it wasn't hard to follow at all tbh. And I like that the main isn't the boring 'im a normal highschooler and something unexpected happens to me boo what do i do i suck at living and i cant do anything and noones likes me :'((' like many male protagonists seem to be in anime. |
| I'm lovin' all of these plot twists! So apparently Juugo's dad is a master thief/noble? They have a bunch of master thieves working for them. Juugo decided to make off with off with one of his dad's underling's goods, whilst being exiled to Nanana's island. Apparently he trains his body on a daily basis (probably has the makings of a master thief himself). Tensai found out about his connection to his dad, strikes a deal with Juugo's dad and acts as the mediator for the buyout of the magic wand. Okay, now here's where I get confused. The Prez wants to use the staff to conquer the world, and so he decides to SELL IT???? That part made next to no sense! What would you do with a billion yen anyway? Invest in stocks and lose it? How does that constitute conquering the world???? But anyway, Juugo lectures and then takes pity on the Prez, probably because they're both evil bad asses who share a somehwat similar background (sold their dreams off for money?), which is why the Prez doesn't have to go to jail, and Juugo will go visit him in the club room later on? Top it all off, Nanana still thinks Juugo will help her find her killer (I actually think the killer may be closer than we all think XD) Man, the plot twists were interesting enough, but the fallout after the magic staff changed hands was just weird as hell. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| OMG Sekai Sefaku all over again. Juugo is or was part of Matsur. Phantom Thief group. What did he do back then????? Does it involve Nanana??? Did they kill her???? |
| Wh....whaaaaaat? O.o Didn't expect Juugo to be acting like that at all. Tensai is easily becoming one of the best characters in an Anime in a long time. She is a genius! |
| I don't know why people are so surprised at Juugo. I believe a few times it was mentioned (just who/what are you) in reference to him. Also, his "fighting skills" are shown right from the start when he gets into that first fight with Nanana he blocks her surprise attack. Later he is getting ejected from that classroom puzzle and it is also mentioned how he is "trained". |
| Our protagonist is a shady guy... this is new |
 |
| Damn, all those plot twist... It almost made me confused xD So Juugo is in fact a thief that work with the same people that stole the liar gem. Didn't saw that coming, why were they anxious that someone had find their treasure first? Juugo just didn't warned them that he knew about the plan? The talk with his father was interresting too. He kept telling that he was unable to love someone. Is he some kind of sociopath? Because he clearly doesn't seem to have trouble caring for people. Anyway, Tenshi is still as cute and clever than before :P |

| Whoa.. an anti-hero! He doesn't give the atmosphere that hint this idea prior to this. I don't know if this is a clever plot-twist or what though. Mixed feelings. Hmm.. Tensai moments. Gotta love how Tensai deducted Juugo's background. And we also got hints of big development between them. yay~ But I can't believe Juugo easily forgave the president. I honestly don't see on what direction this series is going....and I probably already dropped this if not for the romance tag. |

| I don't understand overreactions about the twist... but anyway, I love how every character is being casual to each other when the business is over. And you know, this is a noitamina product. Don't expect much (except Tensai mai waifu). |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| Pretty good episode. I was a bit confused about the plot twist (haven't really familiarized myself with all the names yet) but I think I get it now...... |
| 01:44 dat crappy OP 04:59 omaette dare? 06:14 LOOOL 12:22 who R U? 17:28 Kiritsugu!! 7/10 for this episode. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Juugo was someone important, huh... I want to know more of Ikkaku Shunjuu though... |
| I'm not sure if I understood it properly.. I'll just hope next episode will explain and clarify shit a bit more. |
 |
| If anything the only thing that's making me watch this series would be Tensai lol It was pretty stupid how juugo easily forgave the president...(where have we not seen something in anime where the MC forgives the guy that betrayed him??). Wasn't really a fan of all those plot twists, one could have been fine but damn that was too much for one episode. Overall it was a "meh" of an episode, don't really care for juugo at all but I'll still watch this for tensai and nanana |

| Woah that was a great episode and pretty dam solid animation :O! Tensai is awesome!!!! Might be one of the best female leads we've had in a while! Loving this so far! I don't get why so many people are confused and don't like this twist?? There were plenty of indications about Juugo's identity in the past episodes, I was expecting something like this from the beginning. Maybe most people are too used to the current state of anime where everything is spoon fed and explained step by step. |
| was a good ep with the fight scene being okay and I wasn't expecting a plot twist at all |
| Yo |
| So the secrets are starting to be revealed one by one. Things are starting to piece together. |

jiraiya_sensei said: That's taking it too far. The plot twists weren't bad, I understood them all but I wished that they revealed this more evenly than all in one episode. Juugo surprised me. I thought he was the sterotypical straightforward MC but he turns out to be different.Welcome Samurai Flamenco!! |

| wow a Super Twist episode :o |
 |
| A lot of that didn't make sense. Disappointing Isshin Yuiga wasn't even punished or arrested and he was given a large sum of money. |
 |
| Well I didn't expect a big fight scene. It's not like that twist is hard to follow, so I don't know what everyone on here are going on about. |
