| No JP subs again *sad* 0:09 This is stylized Japanese written from right to left! Looks cool. 4:53 Waiting for someone to translate this 8:10 Maji means "serious" (Colloquial, like "for real") 9:35 Here it says "Abaaru hot bath". Maybe "abaaru" (aval?) is something in Arabic too. EDIT: It's "aahar". Google translate says that it means "diet". Oh noooo, I'm getting a really bad feeling... Especially with this music... Aaaand yep. Everything was going too well. Ichiya posessing Matakara is an interesting development (sorta spoiled by the OP tho). Marito at the end of the ED this time. One of the best episodes so far imo. |

| Back to the past with the Asamine brothers, Matakara is finally able to see his older brother Mitsukuni released from juvie. For Mitsukuni's welcome-home party, Matakara wanting to do it at Arajin's restaurant house, it's a pass. Shindo getting beaten up by his former comrades, the common interests being Honki People, despite him wanting to reveal the secret to Matakara, he holds back for now. Things are looking good for the welcome party as Matakara awaits Mitsukuni's return, along with Minato Kai, but as the 2 p.m. deadline draws near, he gets a rude awakening from the juvie prison. Mitsukuni getting stabbed and killed in juvie, Arajin clearly does not appreciate the matter that's unrelated to him, though it hits everyone hard. And in the same way, Matakara getting aunted by the same darkness he saw in the temple when he was young, just by touching the bullet point on his forehead to reveal Senya, he's hallucinating all the more. That is until the confrontation with Arajin, and Matakara's forced to accept the truth that he isn't as strong as he seems, using Senya as his power. Shindo giving Ichiya up so that he can take over Matakara, how will he treat his new contractor? |

| I admit I've never been a fun of Bucchigiri?!; I have scored most episodes 2-3/5 and only ep 6 was a 4/5 imo. This one, though, was almost perfect! Matakara went from a generic character with a one-sided relationship with the main character, to an actually intresting one. Who knows, maybe the rest of the season can make me like the anime more than I have so far... |
| Hope nii-chan gonna be ok please ㅜㅜ |

mc is so disgusting
| @ChrErx8 yeah i feel u |
| Both Arajin and Mahoro are trash as expected, but gotta say, Arajin came to a new low punching Matakara down at the same time his brother is at the brink of death. There's no way they can redeem him, so I hope that Matakara wrecks him and Senya leaves him alone. Buuuut, it seems that Senya is as much of an asshole as Arajin. |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| Yea ok honestly I’m starting to get some of the Arajin hate at this point. Your childhood best friend brother is on the verge of death and instead of just being a halfway decent person and comforting him, you just shoot down his ideals and everything he’s looked up to? He’s just a bitch for no reason constantly and then he wonders why Mahoro don’t want anything to do with him. I thought he was coming around a little after the last few episodes and making gyoza today with Matakara, but nah, he hasn’t grown at all. If anything he’s regressed. I hope Matakara gets a blue genie and beats his ass or senya or someone. He doesn’t deserve a happy ending. |
 |
| Felt bad for Matakara about his brother but I'm glad Arajin finally told him off. Matakara's been placing him on a pedestal and pushing expectations on him all show and it was really unhealthy behavior |
| I hope that Matakara finally getting his Djinn makes this show get better. I wanna see how this ends, but I have to say I hate every single character in this show. They're all insuferable, specially the MC. I haven't hated an MC this much in a long time. I'm guessing he's suposed to get some character development and what not later, but I don't think that will be enough to save him. |
| "El Psy Congroo" |
| This was an awesome episode!! As much as it hurts to see Matakara suffer I love the dark and psychological tone of this ep so much. The whole sequence of him going to get his brother was really well presented especially. Can't wait to see what happens now that Ichiya is attached to him. Also Arajin not checking up on Matakara right away after hearing the news was a shit move, even from him. Zabu calling his ass out for being a bad friend was so deserved and satisfying. I'm glad they finally got to air some stuff out at least, the buildup was long but worth it imo. Great scene with great voice acting and just the right amount of angst. |
| Well quite a bit of interesting developments occurred in this episode - much more than any of the previous ones - but my god I hate Arajin with every fiber of my being. His childhood friend's brother is dying and he doesn't even seem the least bit sympathetic. It's been over a decade since I've last disliked an anime protagonist this much. Ngl as nice as Matakara is, I was getting annoyed with him for constantly praising and idolizing Arajin as a honki person. His delusion seemed to be on the same level as Arajin's love for Mahoro. But I'm glad he got a reality check (though horrible timing, poor Matakara) and at least Matakara seems like he'll come to terms with the truth...unlike Arajin who's still chasing after Mahoro despite her obvious disgust with him. Will we see a Matakara & blue genie versus Arajin & Senya face-off? |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| We finally get to see Arajin admit to Matakara he abandoned him after all. Looks like this show is about to pick up again in the end |

Nah I see a lot of ppl hating on Arajin for telling Matakara off and tbh I get that the timing was bad since Matakara’s brother got stabbed and won’t make it (like it was a really bad time ong) but I’m happy Arajin finally worked up the courage to finally tell this delusional ass nigga to stop putting him on a pedestal, bros on the same level of delusion as Mahoro is for her brother😭😭😭
Mahoro isn’t that bad as ppl make her out to be, it’s not like she’s fake with her feelings or anything she just loves her brother a lot and doesn’t focus on anyone that isnt her bro😅🤷🏽♂️
So Matakara got his own stand- I mean Honki and tbh the design is looking fresh as hell it’s cool seeing MAPPA doing all these Arabian aesthetic themes in this show🔥🔥

Now is not the time, Arajin, even if it was Matakara who brought up that topic. He keeps saying Matakara is not his buddy, but any normal human being would try to check in on an acquaintance and not put his own insecurities first when a guy's about to lose his big brother (and presumably the only family he's got). I could not believe how Arajin just left Matakara behind, alone at night in that run-down temple. You do NOT leave a person, any person, in that mental state all by himself, when there's no telling what he might do to himself or to others. The least he could do was to just stay with him, or drop him off at home or with Minato-kai; as long as he did that, it would've been fine by me if he wanted to never see Matakara again. I've only found Arajin mildly annoying so far, but in this episode his behavior was actually disturbing. I think he can still come back from this as a character, but wow, did he have to be this way...

It's even easier to accept Mahoro when the person she's stonewalling is a shit human being. In an earlier conversation, Mahoro actually looked interested and sympathetic when Matakara brought up his own brother. So in that sense she actually has more basic human decency than Arajin does. |

We all know that the blue oni will possess Matakara at some point but I totally didn't expect the process to be such a psychological breakdown like this.
| @phantomfandom I am just glad thaey both now have a stand. |
| Finally the part I was waiting for Ichiya merging with Matakara. I like the Arabian looking theme on him....and the nipple coverings. He kind of reminds of Princess Jasmine lol. |
 |
| Weekly reminder that Arajin is an awful main character and awful person and just an active detriment to this show with every single second of screentime he gets. At this point, I want Matakara to merge with the other oni and beat the living shit out of Arajin, but no doubt it's gonna be Arajin who comes out on top cos we're apparently meant to be rooting for him despite the show giving us zero reasons to do so. |
| Damn... a lot of plot development on this one. I hope Matakara's brother pulls through. Otherwise, it would be very sad. Matakara finally realized the truth about Arajin and Arajin finally had the courage to tell him with that. Good going boy. People can hate you all they want because you want to chase your own dreams and not be all buddy-buddy with someone. I really like you, still. Ichiya finally confronts Matakara. What's next? I'm very excited to see where this gonna go from here on out. |

| Just Stick To Comedy Man , For My Fav. Lesss Watch Couple More. |
| Why did the creators make Arajin such a prick?! He’s such a dickhead and it makes it hard for me to care about the plot |
 |
| Yeah, everything building up to the big "return" was for a return that (it became obvious because of rain starting and no dialogues) didn't happen and now things go from bad to worse. Rarely seen a more unlikable main character before. Now Matakara seems bound to receive a dark arc, coming from experience i can understand how. |
 |
| Poor Matakara has had so much to deal with in this episode! |
