| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I never really thought about it before, but Godai is going to be a teacher just like Souichiro. In fact, there were alot of parallels between Kyoko and Souichiro and the present situation of Godai and Ibuki. As for Ibuki, I actually like her and I think she is a far better character than Nanao. I thought it was awesome that Kyoko saw through her plans, because she had been through a similar situation in High School. |

| I found this episode quite entertaining. I usually hate student-teacher relationships in anime, but I really like the male character. I guess it helps that he has Kira's voice. |

| Kyoko was really sharp there at the end, she immediately understood what the photo was... usually she appears to be thick as a brick in love matters... Anyway nice episode, though the parallels went a bit too far... |
| It's amazing the cultural difference between Japan's 80s and Western societies - this would be totally inapropriate in contemporary western societies. |

Alas86 said: Anyway nice episode, though the parallels went a bit too far... I agree. There's only so far you can take it before the "coincidences" just get to be too much. At least one parallel that will be lacking, hopefully, is that of the teacher-student fling happening. I'm saying that assuming that Godai actually gets together with Kyoko eventually, though... and at the rate those two go, that'll probably happen in the last episode or something - if at all! XD Anyway, it was still an enjoyable episode, even if the parallels eventually did seem to be a little too much. |
| Rewatching this I was thinking Kyoko took this quite well, composed and confident as if the other party doesn't stand a chance. |

"A proclaimation of war" Kyoko didn't seem the least bit concerned. Godai and Ibuki, unmistakable resemblance of Kyoko and Soichiro all over again. |
| El Psy Congroo まだまだだね!!! |
| How is no one talking about the new OP? It's awesome! Yay~~ Ibuki-chan steps into the ring. A new challenger approaches! |
| season 3 totally gave a different atmosphere |
 |
| oh snap, a new love rival for Kyoko! Although the new girl Ibuki is alot more interesting and threatening than Kozue. =D LOL the High school Girl is better than a widow. Oh Japan =P |
| I like this direction. Repeat of the past, good job to win over Kyoko. And Yagami is cute, maybe a twist ending where they get married. Loved the ending too, interesting Kyoko admits her feelings indirectly. This is the 4th opening. Can anyone explain why the 2nd OP only played during the 24th episode?? I really liked the english song. Here it is |
 |
| It's Kyoko and Souichirou all over again, only difference is that it's one sided, so Godai needs to watch his back 'cause Yagami ain't backing down without a fight! I feel like Kyoko is taking this matter too lightly, it may seem innocent now, but Yagami is much braver than what Kyoko was in her highschool days. And that preview for the next ep....she better not get Godai in serious problems! |
| am currently rewatching this series once again but i do gotta say that Yagami really brings a fresh breath of air to the series even when i first watched this series i felt that the timing for her to show up was perfect then later to find out she's the best character in the series as imo i feel she was the thing that was needed to really push things forward but yeah love Yagami best girl/character in the series imo |

| Godai is a teacher (well studnet-teacher). Wild high school girl appeared. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Mirroring what happened in the past with Kyoko and Souichirou this episode with Godai and Yagami. This and the last episode were really good,might be the turning point for this series for me. |
| Setting emotions aside - young virgin highschool girl is likely to be a better material for waifu than Kyoko. |
| Lol at that misunderstanding xD 5/5 entertaining episode |
   smell of coffee songs of sleep  |
| Wow, I didn't expect things to develop this way. But I guess it's nice to have another parallel to Souichiro. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Godai became a teacher at Kyoko's old highschool, pretty interesting how things happen simiiar to what happened to Soichiro and Kyoko |
 |
| Fantastic episode. Love seeing new characters introduced and change of pace setting wise |
 |
| Holy cow,I haven't watched this show in like 2 months and when I came back it was like a totally different show. Looks like things are going to get down for real this time. lol my man became a school teacher. I hope the pay is good. this man brought high school girls home and Yotsuya was like ok Godai now we can get down to business with these cute girls. They called Akemi a slut but they haven't seen the previous Lingerie which was more transparent. This young girl declared war on Manager but Manager can just kiss Godai on his cheek and end this childish game if she wanted to. Man Godai broke up with his first "girlfriend" and she thought it was some sort of misunderstanding right? well looks like she's out of the game for good so Godai set the line straight there. interested to see how this is gonna play out haha. |
| Declaration of war begins. Things are going to get more interesting from now on. |

Edit- I assume it’s some sort of inside joke because of how Godai's suit looked just like Light Yagami's suit in this episode where he went to Kyoko/Ibuki's highschool as a teacher, not a seiyuu joke like I first thought. |

Yeah I figured it out later. I only watched the sub so I had no idea at the time of me watching. |
| New opening song is nice. And just as I was praising the art, it gets better. The misunderstanding at the library was quite plausible. Now Yagami chan sees Godai san in the same light as Godai san sees Kyoko san - someone with a troubeled past and a dead loved one. But with Yagami-Godai it's based on a misunderstanding. I don't know how high shcool girls work but Yagami chan fell wayyy to quick for Godai san, maybe it's just affection at this point idk. Kyoko san took all that very well and could see right through what those girls were up to. As stated here before, Yagami chan is a nice breeze of fresh air and really lifts up the series to a new level. When I was watching this series for the first time, I thought to myself, wha... who is this chick, get off the screen, I want to see Godai san and Kyoko san get together, and kept chugging down the episodes because I didn't like her back then xD |
| i like the similarities of kyoko highschool days and yagami's. Also like how kyoko was unfazed by the declaration of war from yagami, like kyoko knew yagami had nothing on her lol |
my candies:   |
| So instead of fixing his thing with Kozue, it's taking a detour at some boring parallel with Kyouko's first love. He doesn't fit to be a teacher lol, the girl making up some backstory about him was funny. |
| Trains EPs 44/96 In total 146 (+3) |
| i know the writers are trying to set up a parallel or should i say similarity between soichiro and godai but still my respect for godai has increased many folds. to teach at a highschool is a really tough job especially at an all girls. i couldn't do it and i'm slightly older than godai rn. its kinda reassuring to have kyouko who knows all the antics of these girls. she remains unfazed. feels like she's enjoying it. its definitely reminding her of her highschool days and how she tried to get close to soichiro. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| New OP and ED, I like them both a lot but I think the previous two were better, unfortunate that they didn’t run as long as these new ones are about to, but it’s alright, I’m sure they’ll grow on me too, I especially liked the visuals in the ED. And I think it’s over for us Kozue bros (just me probably lol) because they done went and introduced a new love interest for Godai here with Yagami (funny timing since I’m watching Death Note alongside this), I’m not with others in saying she’s a “breath of fresh air”, I don’t think we really needed a high school girl character to be into Godai, but I gotta say this arc is very entertaining so far. First off, yeah the parallels to Kyoko being Soichiro’s student are very obvious, I mean they slap it right in your face lol, it’s cute tho, I think it adds some depth to what’s happening with Godai and Yagami rn, a shame that it was over a misunderstanding that Yagami fell for Godai but it’s an interesting situation, funny how Yagami’s attempts to beat Kyoko have barely phased her lol. I’m also just proud of my boy Godai for being a student teacher, he’s come a long way since his ronin days, there really is a sense of time progression in this series, something Ranma and Urusei Yatsura lacked, yeah that’s rare shade I’m throwing at UY right there lol, but it didn’t hurt UY really since it was primarily a comedy, same with Ranma but it had other problems that I won’t go into rn. But damn this Yagami love war arc looks like it’s gonna get pretty spicy in the next one from that preview, I’m excited to see how this plays out. |
