When Goto was lying in bed it reminded me of a certain Sket Dance episode OMG. The way Goto was facing is the same exact scene too. T________________________T

For those who wanted to see Gotou's girlfriend, here "she" is.
I definitely did not see that coming, especially because Gotou seemed like the only "normal" person in the series.

Haha, wow so all those predictions that Goto's girlfriend is dead actually were true. I had a feeling that it might come true, even though I was really hoping it wouldn't...

Man as much as I like Goto, despite his delusions, I really want Mari x Masayoshi (no matter how much everyone else hates her) so hopefully this will be where she stops focusing on Goto.

Good job to the people who speculated the thing with Goto's girlfriend, I remember reading that theory somewhere, and also good job to the staff responsible for leaving a hint in the first opening song, really job well done in my opinion. There was someone who mentioned the kid at the end too, even started a thread about it, good job. Now, let's see how this end. I feel bad for Goto in this episode.

The thing with Gotou was expected, but now Maya was supposed to have been serious about him? Not very convincing with that uniform fetish of hers going on... ~.~

Damn, so both predictions were right. Flamenco hasn't let me down yet, so let's see how this is finished.

I'm imagining viewers asking the producers: "Why do you not made Goto's girlfriend be the final villain/mastermind of all this bullshit like we predicted?"...

And the producers goes like: "What? Are you fucking serious? That's like the most craziest idea ever." and you face-earth yourselves countless of times.

Finally a normal episode.
I'm glad that MMM is back, but I still don't like Mari.
Stalking to Gotou. Lol
Hazama dating with Ishihara-san??? Hahaha not possible
Gotou's girlfriend is missing. I didn't expect that.
I watched again the first episode to make sure that boy is there. That boy is from the past??? How? What does he want?
And in the first scene of first episode, Gotou texting with his girlfriend/himself.

Damn. I had a feeling that something bad happened to Gotou's GF in the 1st opening(they made Masayoshi wear the suit that was in his dream, so I was more confident). I knew Sawada was going to be involved(and the other person who predicted it as well) when he was staring at SF(that pretty much gave it away due to so much focus on him), and later appearing in the store with the toy raffle.

Masayoshi x His Manager could be like Goku and Chi-Chi. lol

Seeing this after episode 11 of Level E made me think Goto's girlfriend was texting him from someone's subconscious.

Still haven't solved the mystery of who killed Masayoshi's parents....

Huh, one of those middle schoolers he lectured from the first episode was also visible earlier in this episode when he went for the morning jog to Goto's house. There's no way that was a coincidence.

I still hate Mari for all the crap she did earlier, but I agree with what she tried to do here.

Gotou is definitely mental and needs a huge a wake up call.

And evil never truly goes away does it?

I'm starting to realize part of the appeal of Samurai Flamenco is that it's kind of like everything in one. This episode read more like a slice of life anime, and it was a good change of pace.

Goto's backstory is pretty sad but suits his character since he's always been so devoted to others. Mari may have overreacted but it's good that she was actually one of the first people to try and snap him out of it. I wonder how Hazama will handle it.

I'm unaffected by the new antagonist at this point.

Wonderful slice of life and Goto's backstory! That kid I think he was the only kid from the gang at the start of the anime that was moved by his words, I remember the other kids had to pull him to run.

Wow, what?? So many things to unpack from this episode, the thing that got me the most was the kid from the first episode. Pretty sure it was the same location too.

Then we have Gotou's past, ngl, didn't see that coming at all, wasn't too focused on attentive details lol. But SF is one of those anime where an astute mind will bring out a lot, which makes me think about the octopus theory. It's pretty deep stuff, and I didn't expect Gotou to be suffering like that, but man needed to cope.

Anyways, want to see how this will play out, seems SF will come back to fight as well

That was fucking sad damn. Really shifts my perspective.

Looks like Hazama route is wide open now tho.

I guess this throws all those massive theories some peeps had out the window lol
