OOO, that was an unexpected turn of event, I'm itching to call Mako and her family a hypocritical mesh, but they did realize what the were doing wrong at the end. Mako should have kept her Goku uniform maybe? As often as she's taken hostage, you'd think she would re-consider.

the portrayal of isolation when they were getting richer was really good. it was moving to see ryoko have that much trust in her friendship with mako.

fight club lol reminds me of another fight club

I liked the exploration of the wealth disparity in the episode, but perhaps that moral was a bit..... heavy-handed? To me, it was already obvious enough, but they sort of bashed it over the viewers' heads, and it's not like this show is for an audience that wouldn't pick up on the message.

That's why money can't buy happiness! Mako realize it and they return to be hilarious but happy family!! That's way more better ❤️

The gaudy statue of the dad felt like the silliest object in the whole episode.

The sheer number of clubs really ramped up, and I was sad after they moved up so far that there was only one possible outcome: to go back to the little hut they had on the ground floor. For all the work the parents did they at least deserve a slightly better house.

Gotta say, I didn't like this episode at all. I understand it's played for comedy, but the entire mankanshoku family turning into assholes just because they got money pissed me off to no end.

If you forget about family values and companionship just because you got money, I feel like you never had those virtues at all, so this kinda taints these characters for me forever.

Will just try to forget this episode existed so I can enjoy the rest of the show.


Yeah I agree, the family is tainted for the rest of the show.

I also don't like how whenever a story tries to pull this "greed is bad" moral they always make it seem like you can't be happy when you're well off, so you're better off being poor with a good family. As if being well off with a good family isn't possible and shouldn't be aimed for. It feels like something the elites want to brainwash the masses into thinking.

Yare yare daze Mako-chan.

That was a great episode, I liked that they tackled this kind of thing, over the top or not there was something to be gained from here. It's good that the Mankanshoku family has learned from their mistakes... well at least Mako did, I don't know bout the rest of them lmao.

Also honestly really like Kiryuuin, especially that smirk at the end.

This was a unique but cool one. I kind of hated everyone except ryuko this episode but I'm glad she was able to go back to the old lifestyle. It was sad seeing everyone being overpowered by money and wealth and forgetting what's truly important.

This school does have lot of sketchy clubs lol.

Was thinking this all as an illusion of Mako, but no it was all real. Atleast they got to enjoy that lifestyle for once though.

Ryuuko beating so many of these two-stars easily was kind of suspicious but it makes sense after the revelation that Satsuki's been using Ryuuko as a janitor to weed out the weak.

A pretty typical "greed ruins a wholesome family" story, although I'd argue any family that does fall apart when they don't have to depend on each other for every little thing is no family at all. Although analyzing this aspect is probably going farther than is necessary.

A bit annoyed that it seemed like Ryuuko couldn't hold her own against Mako, although she probably was holding back ( Mako wasn't 100% in the fight either but to say that Mako was on par with Ryuuko kind of cheapens the other characters who've fought Ryuuko, like Satsuki and Sanegayama).

Mako is hilarious. It's really interesting that they made an episode where her family was living in the slums and extremely happy but as soon as they became rich they all hated each other. I think they did a good job at showing how money ruins people.

Daaamn. Ep 7 was heavy. Good shi good shi. So far was just comedy but this episode was quite realistically satirically ironic portraying actual human behaviourial change with greed and luxury, class.

"Money changes everything" - it's true. I feel like this episode didn't really display the real issues with wealth, which is the exploitation of others to gain more wealth, rather it just showed that the family had more to do and spent that time noncommunally. Talking about "greed" seemed a bit weird; they certainly got fancier stuff, but it still seems weird. Mako did exploit Ryuko, so there is that. Still, I don't know. It feels weird to show a family in poverty and then show that they were better off in poverty than with their bases covered. The end of the episode went into this idea of Ryuko as a puppet to the fascist leadership, which could be okay as a plot going forward.

The best episode so far and also one of my favorites.

Ryuko decides to be part of Satsuki's system with the purpose of destroying it but she ended being absorbed by it.

I like how this episode explains how the system actually works and also the differences between social classes and also gave more info about Ryuko's past.

The family finally got money and a decent living but things aren't the same for Ryuko, she values more the affect of a family than money and luxury in contrast of the Mankanshoku family.

Ryuko's act of quitting all of that was pretty selfish because she was looking for her own happiness rather than the family's and to decide to be poor again wasn't the big deal for her while for them it was everything because she hasn't experienced all of what they did.

They should just have stopped when they reached 1 star status and problem solved but there is the dilemma of Ryuko enjoying and becoming part of the system she swear to destroy which would make her an hypocrite and would made her forgot her mission and with that fail at it. Also Satsuki was using her the entire time and I think she also realized that.

Despite her father abandoned her in a boarding school she is still trying to avenge him and complete his work, what a great daughter.

This episode portrayed all of those problems in a great way, great execution that is why it is a peak episode, the only bad thing is that it romanticize the poverty but it was justified.
