| Lol, Haruka, Hayato, and the gag get front row seats to a fist fight. I find it rather amusing that they really do present this like a movie, except played in real time. The character rivalries are there too to make it more impactful. Touma Hiragi is not someone to mess with when he gets serious. Well played. That punch to the stomach is payback. |

| It's Toma's time to shine! Despite the unsettling scene, Sakura and the others witness, Suou, who rarely shows emotions, surprisingly defeats Kanuma, while Bofurin steadily racks up victories. In the following third match, one between Bofurin's Four Heavenly Kings, Toma Hiragi, and Saku Mizuki, there seems to be some history between them. Initially appearing to be on the defensive against the speedy Saku, Toma, bearing the title of the chief of the Tamons, finally demonstrates the power befitting of a martial god. In the heat of the ongoing battle, Choji clarifies that Kota is one of their 'Big Five,' which explains why he's putting up such a formidable fight. Then, out of nowhere, Kota delivers a brutal blow to Toma, leaving him sprawled on the ground. Kota explains that instead of improving, he's actually gotten weaker because of his association with Bofurin, infuriating Sakura as Kota seems to look down on Toma. This revelation fuels Toma's determination to rise again and continue the fight. Toma fought fiercely; I salute him. |

| I don't know if you guys feel the same, but I feel like the choreography was kind of lacking, I was seriously hoping JJK's level of choreography and serious action sequences. I guess JJK just pushed a standard that even Wind Breaker seems to struggle with. |

| Furin needs to recruit Sako |
 |
| Really nice CQC. Aside from the jump, not something we get often that isn't full of superpowers. Was the kick Sako did a real move? Where he held it back with his actual hand as a feint and then released like a sling. |
| That was some great fist fight and great animation/directing again. The fights been so hype so far and the best one is about to come. So hyped for Sakura vs Jou. |
 |
| Loved the episode but I can't escape the feeling whole show is turning into "wait for the MC to fight" blueballing contest. Luckily content is not bad while we are waiting. |
| By far the most emotional episode since the premiere. I came into this episode expecting pure hands (and I did get plenty of hands) but the Hiragi and Sako stuff had me in tears. What an incredible little story. And honestly, the bit at the end with Umemiya telling Hiragi to not tell him about it until *he* wanted to talk almost made me cry again. Golden stuff. Really loving all these insert songs, too. |
| It's Kuro Adachi :3 Finally the fight scene getting longer, well animated, can't wait for Sakku tho kajjeeuuaaaa. And yes the insert songs always caught my attention. |
| At this point I can say even if anything but this series won't be worse than Tokyo Revengers |
| Of course the 2 fights I'm most looking forward to will be held towards the end but this fight was pretty good and for a second there I thought Hiragi was going to lose (especially because they're now 3-0 and I figure they will lose at least one fight). Speaking of Hiragi, he gave the other team a good tip in waiting for Togame's fight to conclude before removing Sako presumable since Togame himself might lose plus they'll lose power and numbers if they keep doing that. |
| Now that it's 3-0 for Bofurin, Shishitoren has to get a victory in there somewhere. Probably against Sakura. |

| @ZeroMajor12 Lol? This ain't jjk, no one gonna use Domain Expansion and throw some gang signs lmao. The "choreography" was pretty much on point with a REAL fight for the most part, you forget they're just regular high-school students. |
Fight for All That's Beautiful in The World ! |
Reply to Dan_ALves
@MeanEYE They almost dedicated an episode to every fight. The Mc seems to be up next
| @Dan_ALves that's what it felt like to me prior to last one. It always feels like he's next and then we skip. Hence my comment. |
| Last episode, I thought Furin would have a sweeping win against Shishitoren. Then in the first half of this episode, I wondered if Hiragi and Sakura would lose just for Ume to have a close 3-2 win. But nope, back to sweeping. Cool backstory tho :) |
| Wow the fighting choreography and animation is really impressive for this show. Didn't expect Furin to get yet another win, now the result of the next match is unpredictable. The backstory between Hiragi and Sako wasn't anything special, but I did feel a bit bad for Sako. It'd be cool if he's somehow able to join Furin. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| I like how eager Sakura to fight against Shishitoren second-in-command. But this episode needs to take care of Hiragi personal matter first. Ragna va value such a high standing to him, i see. But to think that he's unable to let his opinion heard out tho as those crucial moment especially since Hiragi seems to care to him too much that he's unabling himself to make Sako follow him forever into Bofurin care. Well, those two tsundere really can't be honest with themselves and that's the reason to this episode fight, eh? So deep.... Perhaps after this, Hiragi might change a certain thing after he talk with Umemiya, perhaps regarding Sako's status aftermath. But before that, ofc there might be need a two more episode at max to finish this arc story. So yeah, let's see next.... |

| fight animation and directing was cool, was corny other than that though. |
 |
| Sakura keeps acting as insufferable as the other idiot of Bucchigiri, I still can't stand him. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| I was hoping to see Sakura fight or the captains good episode overall nonetheless, the flashback of Hiiragi was kind of sad but it added more depth to his character. |
Reply to WackRogue
@Paul I think Sako's kick is based off a Brazilian kick, or a question mark kick. Obviously in real life you don't use your hands to hold your kick. It's used to feint low then attack high and although Sako doesn't feint low, the motion is in the shape of a question mark so that's probably what the inspiration was from.
| @WackRogue That looks like it. Looked up a few videos and actually stumbled on one where they show the hand holding the leg as an exercise drill to understand the motion of the kick. I guess in the case of the anime, it's just used as a rule of cool. |
| pertarungan epic banget |
My Candies :  |
| Kinda hoping for Sako to join Hiragi's team in the future. To be honest I didn't quite understand the reason why Hiragi told him not to follow him...I guess he only wanted Sako to grow on his own..? Didn't expect the emotional wave brought by the ending of their fight (with the background song playing as well); to me, theirs was a beautiful friendship broken by the mere harshness of words. Anyways, next episode will be Sakura's fight! |
| Hiragi vs Sako fight was Incredible!! Absolutely beautiful storytelling as well. CloverWorks is COOKING really well!! |
 |
| I had chills icl man, in 6 episodes they’ve already nearly matched the same emotional intensity that peak Tokyo Revengers had. That’s on top of the insane production values from Cloverworks, like whaaaat was the detail in that fight. The care that went into Hiragi’s punches and Sako’s cooks.. gorgeous. The OST during the climax of their fight and the flashback showing Sako just wanting to be told to follow Hiragi. Who knows how different things would’ve been for him.. Love how Hiragi wouldn’t allow Choji to disrespect Sako by taking off his jacket. Real friend even to the end. I feel like Sako and a few of the other people who lost are gonna end up in Bofurin by the end of this.. really looking forward to Sakura’s fight, I hope his opponent is a good fight for him after all this build up. Gotta give it to the OST in this episode as well made things even better 🙏🏾 |

| I can't wait to see that 4 eyes guy get a taste of his own medicine. |
| It's nice to see Touma Hiragi's backstory with Saku Mizuki, he's a good friend. |
    |
| I doubt Sakura will lose. 6 episodes in I already know where this going to be. in 1v1 fight Sakura will always win because he's always alone and strong at that. But his weak point is that he have friends now. |
