Not sure if this backstory needed to be an entire episode, but it was still decent.

Tsurumi killing men left and right with looks and bullets.

I really dig the OP in this season. Digged it so much that I literally can't remember what happened this episode despite just watching it.

Was that a Freddie Mercury reference?? lmao

I'm glad we got Koito's backstory.
Tsurumi is such a genius mastermind, omg. Everything goes according to his schemes. Also... holy shit, he was so absurdly hot it's unreal!

The backstory episodes are always among the best of the series, i thought Koito's was one of the weaker ones, still pretty entertaining. Tsurumi channeling his inner gigachad with that wink LOL

Basically the episode explained, or more objectively affirmed that Koito is the best character

Koito backstory and it was pretty intense. Everything went according to Tsurumi's plan.

I'm a little surprised as to how much they changed the initial meeting between Tsurumi and Koito, the manga had him simply run over Tsurumi and apologize immediately and bond over the loss of his brother etc. but the anime decided to base Koito's awe of Tsurumi more on the fact that Tsurumi was the first adult to stand up to him etc.

It's funny how some people calls this flashback unimportant, considering

And Koito relationship with Tsurumi also important part of the story.

i don't understand why mask-face planned that whole kidnapping plot just to get that kid to join the army. and what was with that look at the very end with the "spoiled rich kid" voice over? did the kid figure out their plot?

are the various suggestive guy-on-guy scenes and poses throughout this series meant to be comedic? are they trying to target a particular audience demographic? is there a deeper purpose to it all than what i realize?

One of the kidnappers calls Koito barchonok, the same word Ogata calls Koito later on in the timeline. The implication is that Ogata was one of the kidnappers, meaning the whole thing was staged by Tsurumi. At the time of the flashback, Koito wouldn't have been able to figure it out. It's only after he hears barchonok from Ogata that he's able to make the connection in hindsight.

Great episode! I came out of it respecting Tsurumi's spy, thinking, strategy, planning and leadership capabilities.

Also that "bike" chase when he was doing all that leaning, the "stare" at those women, and the blow up that left them both shirtless, that was epic. Hats off to the animators, one of the most memorable sequences I've seen this season, would be the top if not for that bit from Akiba Maid War #1.

Tsurumi is without a doubt one of the most fascinating masterminds in animamga.

Alright at this point I wouldnt be surprised if Tsurumi was the one behind the entire gold hunting and tattoo shebang.

That was obviously world-class manliness. Nothing compares to busting your bike and proudly marching in air, true pioneers of their craft in these days.

Many diff allusions to diff characters. Good to have the old bird back. Let's see if this season can gain some momentum again.

Dope episode especially the twist, with properly foreshadowing at several points

Tsurumi was pulling the strings all along; ever the amoral mastermind

Yep I don't understand how Otonoshin was aware and yet decided to play along till the present time? Seems like his admiration of (and obsession with, ahem) Tsurumi got the better of him??

That passing wink of Tsurumi's was hilarious af

Once again it shows how Tsurumi is a great manipulator with great charisma. He planted the seed when he was a kid. Its no wonder how he has a loyal army that would die for him

Holy shit…. I never get used to how manipulative and intelligent Tsurumi is but this really was mind blowing! He ensured both Koito AND his father’s loyalty in one sitting! Evil genius!

Also can we talk about how god damn handsome young Tsurumi is?! 😍
