Damn, that Hajime guy is not someone to mess with. Easygoing yet deadly when fighting.

Outside of the fighting drama, glad to see Haruka and the others get some break and eating together. Hajime is so fun to watch in this anime with that personality of his though. Please give him more screen time. He also seems knowledge about some of the groups in their community.

Lmao, Umemiya's really nice, considering how tough he seems.

The Shishitorean, known for their unwavering belief in "power," sport their trademark orange Skajan jacket that marks their territory next to Bofurin. They stir up trouble to shield the town's middle schoolers from Shishitorean. Meanwhile, Sakura, receives a war declaration from Togame.

When Sakura informs Umemiya about the encounter with Touma Hiiragi, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Bofurin, instead of reprimanding him, Umemiya thanks Sakura for safeguarding his family. Amidst Sakura's confusion, an unfamiliar voice, Choji Tomiyama, greets them in the schoolyard, adding to the intrigue.

It's war between Bofurin and Shishitorean!

Kotoha had a nice little moment in the episode near the end and the visuals are good, but the actual stuff that is taking place admittedly is getting more and more dull with each passing episode, and the antagonists, Shishitoren, from here don't help one bit with being as generic and bland as possible for a delinquent series, including the seemingly tragic head himself, Choji.

So the stage is set for the clash between Bofurin and Shishitorean in a 5 on 5 fight. Can't wait to see the brawl next week.

Can we please get a fan-cut of the show where Nirei is removed completely from the show. He's constantly screaming and moaning and moaning while screaming. You are not invited anywhere stop acting as if it's your ass on the line. God damn it this show is ruined because of him. Am barely able to watch scenes with him in it and they shove him in so often. His overractions are not funny, they are annoying.

And of course he had to go with them to rival gang's territory. We don't want an episode without him screaming and overreacting. Even though he's not invited nor is fighting.

Another very good and funny episode, it's well adapted.
Umemiya is introduced. Normally he's funny and nice, but can become a serious fighter!
I'm looking forward to the 5-5 Battle against Lion's Den.

Sakura's way of coping with people treating him kindly is so cute, I hope he'll get more used to it soon though. Not sure why Nirei is tagging along but I'm very curious about the fights, especially Suo's!

Yeah that's Gojou alright lol. Carefree yet reliable and Yuuichi Nakamura, no denying it. Gonna love this guy.

They went for a five persone one on one instead of a all out brawl, cool. Hyped for it.

So Umemiya is like a brother figure after all. Who's that black hair guy Kotoha's looking at at the ED visual then? Interestingly Umemiya had a sticker on the back of his phone with three people. One was Umemiya himself, other one looked like Kotoha with glasses? And the final guy had black hair. I'm guessing he's the one in the ED visual. He dead?

Also please don't give me hope for Kotoha x Sakura only for it to not happen. I'd rather there's nothing at all than a heartbreak. Though with the age reveal that she's same age as him there's more hope I think and I just love how things are building up for them like in this episode when Sakura had a very positive reaction after hearing about Kotoha past and she looked happy about it. Btw I had a feeling she wasn't that older but definitely wasn't expecting her to be same age as Sakura lol.

A little disappointing, episode 4 is entitled "clash" but, throughout this episode, there are no fight scenes, it's even too "cute" for a delinquent school story with a fight.For now, this episode is the worst episode, the intensity that was built at the beginning due to territorial friction was actually resolved with the dialogue "5 vs 5 fight".. 😒

@animejas I do kind of agree with that. It's a delinquent anime, I'm here for the hands. I was fine with episode 2 having none to cool down, but the one in 3 wasn't as cool as I thought, being short and not as crisp looking as the episode 1 brawl, and this one while fun for characters was just more talking. But I have faith that next week and the ones following will deliver on more of what episode 1 offered.

Also I get your point about Shishitoren, they're far from unique, but I still like them, they're fun enough for me to like them, at least decently, mainly Togame

5 1v1's? damn we're getting blessed.

probably a few of bofurrin will lose since there are 5 fights, or bofurrin dominate shishitoren

either way umemiya will win for sure and sakura will either lose for character development (which's is unlikely) or win so that he can show his strenght to the rest of bofurrin.

this serie really is one of the best one this season, definitely will rememeber this one.

yeah it for sure has a delinquent themed slice of life vibe rather than a fighting anime but it is still semi enjoyable as such

So this turned into a calm before the storm-type episode with Sakura learning there's more to fighting than just to fight. Also I wonder if there's something brewing between Kotoha and Sakura since he seemed a bit concerned thinking that Umemiya was her boyfriend.

Anyway, the leader of the rival group appears to like fighting like Sakura but I'll be rooting for Umemiya since I think he's an overall better person.

The conflict with Shishitoren has been setup beautifully! We had last episode our boys interfering with some of those guys, leading to this confrontation between the top dogs. The rooftop meeting with Umemiya was very laidback in comparison. He just wants to grow his vegetables but then also has to deal with being the leader of this group. Umemiya would probably be most happy living in the countryside as a farmer. However that doesn't seem to be the lot he was dealt in life, considering he grew up in a group home which would've made him much harder than a farmer's life. Sakura being put at ease by Umemiya the same way all the other guys were during his speech was very sweet. Sakura is seeing true leadership before his eyes from Umemiya, someone he can look up to instead of just wanting to beat up. All of these good vibes distributed by none other than the leader of Shishitoren strolling up to have a one on one with Umemiya. Naturally in front of the Bofurin school this wouldn't jive but it was an interesting scene. We could see the rivalries forming before the fights even begin. Lots of individuals sending word jabs at each other through the crowd. I'm so excited to see these five one on one fights between Bofurin and Shishitoren. They've both got some cool people on each side.

Say what you will about Ume's veggies, but it's kinda symbolic how the leader of Bofurin—the guy cultivating a generation of Good Samaritans and growing a new moral code for delinquents—is an actual gardener. Also, if Sakura is already this strong without eating properly, imagine how OP he'd be if he also ate his veggies. XD

And tbf, I also thought Kotoha was in her early 20s. Turns out she's young enough to actually be able to call Ume "onii-san", not that she would. ^^

Yeah, I didn't mind him that much in the previous episodes, but he's really starting to grate. He was introduced as this goofball who's weak but still serious about helping the town, then once he arrived at school he went full Zenitsu from Demon Slayer. At the moment the biggest negative of the show for me as well.

Still a good episode for me, with good character moments. The next episode's 5-v-5 will make-or-break the show, I think. But I'm pretty optimistic after CloverWorks delivered in Episode 1.

Damn, so this is how the world looks like when teenagers are in control and not the other way around. Also, no way Kotoha is 16, she is 26 at most, that definitely threw me for a loop. Good episode.

Very good episode, I really like Umemiya... he's the typical strong, kind, inspiring, etc character and he's also the typical character they know how to eliminate haha but at the moment the anime doesn't bring these things out.

Interesting that the Shishitoren wasn't like the one we see now, everything changed with the current leader and sub-leader.

Interesting fights coming up, from a small flashback of Hiragi it seems he was training or helping in the training of the other person who challenged him
Now we know why Kotoha's restaurant is so visited haha

Is disapointing really. I was hoping she would be the older sister of Umemiya and simply act as a mentor/helper. Can't help but feel they are goin to shoehorn in some romance.

did anyone else feel yellow sunglasses is kinda manipulating a instigating all of shishitoren?? i felt like that. it's like he's pushing them to fight. also umemiya is so cute! I thought umemiya and Tachibana are a couple. so that means Sakura ajd Tachibana will be a thing, but if I'm being honest, sue looks more like an elder sister to Sakura.

The white-haired leader has a strange face, his crooked eyes are funny xD overall, he didn't impress me, the characters only talk about how great he is, but after the way he presented himself in this episode, I don't feel it. I'm disappointed that some retarded kid is the leader of the bad guys, I don't feel any threat from them at all. So we have a tournament, otherwise xD I hope it will end in the next episode and they will give some better opponents.

Buforin's famed leader Hajime Umemiya, the Gojo Satoru character is every bit just as ingrained as he is.

Getting into Shishitoren turf is a bad call for Sasaki, but Hajime knows it's for the best..and proceeds to continue joking around. And when he gets serious, he comforts Haruka like a big brother, the feeling edging from someone with authority. A pipsqueak like Choji Tomiyama as Shishitoren's leader coming straight to Bofurin's doors dragging Kaji, he's also serious for real.

The violence in Haruka wanting to get physical against Choji, but senses an even stronger spirit through Hajime, once he changes into the fighting spirit which Choji continues mimicking at him, if it's a fight against leaders, everyone else follows along with 2nd-in-command Jo Togame. And of course, being on Bofurin territory, the leaders wanting to duke it out, with everyone else wanting to go brawling on one-on-one fights, and Sako Uoya against Hiragi, it's a fight to the death.

Despite Nirei feeling like he's the weakest, everyone else is pumped, and the roundup gathering place at Kotoha's café, she's a fan favorite of Bofurin, that's for sure. But to go against a gang that feeds on pure strength for power, Tomiyama is at the heart of the matter, and to learn it, it's through the fist fights. Seriously, Haruka just can't stop being a tsundere delinquent lols.

With the gang of 6, Haruka steps into Shishitoren territory for the first time, and let the brawl begin.

Oops brawl already declare with the next-door turf gang within this episode. Really not expecting this fast clash, but welp, a thirst-of-fight people seems to like that fast approach. So yeah enough with the quick introduction of our 'Gojo' senpai, and his off like of veggies, then wait a minute, damn. What the fuck with those Kotoha age revelation. Same age? Absolutely unexpected. Ship sailed? Lol okay author, you get it right. But yeah once again, enough of that little talk, let's have some fun communicating with fist, shall we? Then Sakura debut as a bofurin as well....
