Yikes, a case of kidnappings. But you know, since this anime has a lot of comedy, it was also hard to take it seriously at times.

Somehow, they made that orange little creature relevant in this episode lol

Poor John he wasn't even lost he just wanted to play football and buy food but ended up escaping to everyone, getting threatened by that killer and then even kidnapped by that hardcore giant spider XD at least it ended well for everyone (especially good for the kidnapped kids) quite fun to see a John focus this time

Welp, Draluc can finally turn into a real bat, but it's gonna take a while to get used to that form.

Being a bat has its benefits though...well in Draluc's case, not so much. Being picked up by Hina and brought back to the Vampire Control Division, he's barely saved by fellow vampirian Handa to the infamy of Hina and another fellow officer Sagyo. Is Draluc a crab or what lols, and their Captain deciphered that at one go to let him loose before more shenanigans arise.

A serial child kidnapping case, and John has his own adventures lols, best animal armadillo has it best while the others smell out the culprit vampire. The misunderstanding that John was kidnapped made the whole case a total blowout while he just walks home like it's a normal day while escaping from town to town.

But when he ACTUALLY got kidnapped by the vampire Nagiri whom got humiliated in an earlier episode, that's some real batshit though. The problem with another vampire spider creature, and Nagiri does save him though to give some pancakes for an exchange. For once, Nagiri did a good thing.

Definitely the best episode ever, and John the Armadillo only makes the comedy better. This episode was pretty much a LMAO situation.

I'm proud to say I cried at the end of this episode when John was finally reunited with Draluc and Ronaldo. John went through so much in this one episode, more so than a lot of characters in an entire series. John is the real MVP of this show he's such an endearing armadillo. This whole episode being John focused was the best thing they could do. It absolutely pulled at my heartstrings along with bringing back a former villain to play the reluctant hero. Nagiri after losing his immortality a few episodes ago wanting revenge by kidnapping John at first I got pretty mad about that. But later Nagiri did the right thing and saved John from that spider vampire. The little segment at the start of the episode was funny too with Draluc kinda sorta turning into an actual bat then not. Loved the John focus he's a real trooper.

John has his own fanclub, can play futsal, and can buy a train ticket. 👏 No wonder why he is the best character in this series.

Great episode! Draluc transforms into a bat (finally) and is being attacked by pigeons so Hinaichi picks up up as she thinks he's cute and doesn't realise he's actually Draluc! Handa trying to convince everyone that Draluc is a type of crab was pretty funny and stupid xD. I love how John was so relevant this episode-JOHN BEST ARMADILLO! Everyone is on the search for John as they believe he has been kidnapped. He is just about to get home when he actually gets kidnapped by a vampire we know quite famously! John crying was a pretty sad scene. John then gets kidnapped again by an inferior spider like vampire but they get killed...

Looking forward to the next episode!

Wow, Draluc finally managed to turn into a vampire. Probably trained to death to be able to do that. Seems like he's unable to open a door in that form but a window is possible. Of course, he got picked up by Hina and even got put between her chest. You lucky bastard, Hina's one adorable girl and has hiliarious reactions at the same time. Welp, one thing that he didn't know is, he was about to be taken to the Vampire Control Division to check whether it's a vampire or not. He managed to talk to Handa but you know.. he's pretty stupid LOL. All those lies he made that it's actually a crab and laid an egg got me ROLLING. The chief got Draluc out of the situation but Hina caught him lacking in the end xD.

Children are getting kidnapped by vampires and on the same day, John wants to go out. Ronald felt a little unsafe with letting him go but I'm glad that I was able to experience John's adventure. He's pretty liked by the community and even has a own fanclub. A pretty good soccer 'dildo xD The misunderstanding started the whole conflict, he just fell off and didn't even try to call back after screaming himself to death. This led to him getting chased b weird ostrichs, wrong trains and finally getting kidnapped by the Street Slasher who is not even the kidnapper of the case.

Nagiri, the sleet slasher, went through a massive character development. He turned into an anti-hero, saved John and hopefully will return later in the series. He's not that bad. He is scared of Senya, everyone is.. The ending was beautiful with them being back together. It touched my heart for real. I seriously can't believe how I much I actually love this serie.

And in the end John gave him a pancake, John really is a divine being, the last time I cried for a character was when Rem went into a coma.And the closing song is also very touching, the tears in this episode were inevitable

Aww man I had such big feels during this episode for John as well. It was geat how he was pretty much the focus point, but I especially liked the translations for the "ぬ〜” and the small bit with the trains. Even with all the comedy included in the series, it's great to see how everyone got together and looked for John. It really did feel like he was the prime minister or something.

Looking forward to what else the studio has decided to adapt in the coming episodes

Majority of the episode was centered around John so I can't complain. Didn't know that he could be so scatterbrained with the getting on the wrong train. Those ostriches sure we're something.

Darn. I thought that guy died. It was good thing he was there to reluctantly save the day.

Instead of having multiple smaller segments, we have one short segment, and then one longer segment. I think this show is suited more for the shorter segments, due to its fast paced nature. But still, this episode was really good too.

I can now not erase the image of Draluc inside Hinaichi and old man legs ostriches. Handa trying to convince Hinaichi and green man that Draluc is a crab was pretty hilarious. The John segment was like 2 segments long, I hope we get more of that. Also, did not expect slicing vampire man to appear again. It's expected that anyone will fall to John's charms though, sasuga.

I thought it was going to literally be Ronaldo until they were in the same scene later in the episode. His father would work as a gag with the false moustache too, as lots of anime/manga dads are just their sons' character designs but with a moustache (Yusaku Kudo, I am thinking specifically of you!)

The first part was way too hilarious 🤣

What was up with Handa's bizarre explanations, I died XD

It went from hilarious to really dumb in the second part. Couldn't get myself to laugh at an armadillo playing futsal...well John is supposed to be a weird creature so it's fine. But John's small adventurous journey was sure fun to watch.

one fun thing I noticed about this episode was that when john offers the macarons for Ronaldo and Draluc, Draluc is actually fine giving some of his to Ronaldo, and this made me very happy since in the manga there isn't a scene like that. I just wanted to point this out since it really shows how sweet Draluc is in the anime! I've also realized that the anime of this show is so much better than the manga.

After this, I declare myself a member of the John fan club.
And I have to point out Ronaldo acting as an overprotective father, it's adorable.
What a wholesome episode. 5/5.
