Aqua is quite the womanizer with two dates in a single episode. Kana's reactions during her date with Aqua were very cute; she thought she could take control of the situation, but Aqua had already reserved everything to make sure she had a good time. As for his date with Akane, it was rather sad because Aqua was pretty harsh, inviting her on the trip just to discuss their breakup that was insensitive. I won't deny that Akane and Aqua make a good pair, even if their relationship is fake, and Akane supports him unconditionally, but since I'm team Kana, it doesn't sadden me that much.

Aqua is still blocking out the full picture of Ai’s death, believing his father is dead. But as Akane pointed out, there's a gap in the story regarding who actually killed Ai. Speaking of fathers, there he is finally back after going out to buy cigarettes. Ruby, how did you not notice he looks exactly like Aqua?!

Man I'm not tryna simp but dam Aqua's/Ruby's father is so hot havent had a villain this hot since Muzan, I know a few things about the manga and I knew this reveal was coming soon. I really hope Akane tells us what loophole she found though.

Also idk if this was intentional but I swear comparing both outings I swear Aqua put way more effort into his one with Kana. But I mean different reasons for each outing i guess and they didn't really show much of his one with Akane anyways.

If the dude at the end is their real father, that means Aqua went from hating his "father", to hating someone that had absolutely nothing to do with him, that's fucking hilarious.

Kana is so cute, she really loves him, unlike Akane, I always knew it, she was horny for him but nothing more, realizing she was telling him all those things, like being open to have sex, without really being in love with him, what a dumb bitch lmao

Ruby is so fkng cute ❤️

I believe in AKANE supremacy!!

I know Aqua's gonna break up with her, but I'm hoping he doesn't. She is a blue hair girl tho....

I'm still unsure about the loophole since Ai only had Aqua and Ruby. IDK how, but there are probably a lot of ties that have to do with the entertainment industry.

If there's anything I know about a crow followed by a Muzan walk, something bad is gonna happen...

@Nepgear2206 I think by loophole is that akane realised that the person whom aqua think is his father is not actually his father because she realised the possibility that probably himekawa's mother cheated on his husband and the results was himekawa born and the person with whom himekawa's mom cheated her husband, is the man that made Ai pregnant.
@SabreDrago
So the father that committed sucide wasn’t actually himekawa’s biological father? Also means himekawa doesn’t know his biological father?

Therefore, the guy that himekawa’s mother cheated with is aqua and himekawa’s father. And that guy mated with ai. Ok makes sense.

Well damn, that went a direction I was not expecting. And I absolutely was not expecting Akane to be the one who figures it out, holy shit that is one smart lady, I absolutely would not want to get on her radar if I had anything to hide lol.

The end scene is obviously going to get a lot of discussion since of course we are now entering the next phase of the story. I enjoyed it (it is helped by the fact that it is one of the only Ruby scenes in the episode), but of course, the big reveal was already given away by Akane's realization in just the previous scene (by the way the animation for Aqua and Akane's visualization of the Ai murder story is another example of great stylized visuals used to great effect in this series).

Anyway, great episode overall. Curious to see where the final two of the season end up going.

Wow Akane realize the loophole, i think what she meant was Himekawa mother could also cheated on her husband and that man was the one who made Ai pregnant.
Akane Giga Brain as always.

But seriously what's up with the Crow?
There has to be something deeper with these Crow, i can sense something sus.

Holy shit!!

I've thought about this loophole really hard, and there is only one situation that I could come up with. If we assume that the DNA test is correct, then the only answer is that Taiki's mother actually had a secret affair with the real father. This would give cause for the suicide-murder committed by the supposed father once he found out and would also explain how/why the father could still be alive.

Please don't reply with spoilers.

The path of revenge is not yet over for Aqua ig, he'll prob realize sooner or later.

After everything that happened, I still ship Aqua and Akane lol, even though they aren't sure about their feelings atm.

The cliffhanger at the end was so cool, like I honestly knew there's no way aqua's dad would look anything like that guy he thought was his father. I knew aqua's real father would be much creepier and good looking(which he is). Also aqua's dad looks exactly like him except his hair is longer. i don't know but the long hair makes him seem more mysterious and creepy lol. And the fact that Akane realised that aqua's dad is still very alive in this show made me remember why she is best girl (She's smart, cute, hard working, talented and is ready to kill someone for u, what else can u possibly ask for?). Also aqua being a gRIZZly bear and being really smooth with kana when they went for suitcase shopping in this ep was surprisingly unsurprisingly(Aqua got that dawg in him). And kana's reactions were cute to see(I lick akane better tho). This episode was gr8 overall. Happy to see some nice plot development after the tokyo blade arc.

This episode felt like a roller coaster. I personally don't care much for Kana, but their 'date' was nothing less than cute. Akane bringing Aqua to the bridge and hugging him back for the hug he gave her when he saved her just warms the heart. Got piercing chills during Akane's moment of realization of the loophole, and of course went "oh sh*t" at the reveal at the end. I was actually like 10% expecting for Aqua and Ruby's father to actually be dead, a bold decision by the writer to maybe perhaps shift the story entirely in a different direction. But NAH, today we see we are nowhere near done with any of that yet.

And yeah there is the whole Kana Akane waifu war... but come on. Kana is head over heels for Aqua, but Akane actually understands him. She's like his ride-or-die and would go to the pits of hell with him. Idk man, is it really even a competition? Well, not that it fully matters, because Aqua kinda seems to not really give af about either of them and is giving his entire life and millions of yen for the sake of Ai and avenging her. But still, if this war does persist, it's a no-brainer. Akane literally just offered to be his support during these hard times. That, and maybe even some spicy time on the side. >:)

Yeah, Akane already realised who Aqua and Ruby's real father is and Aqua hasn't figured out that "loophole". She really is a genius detective.


And how very fitting for the GOAT Mamo chan as the voice of Ruby and Aqua's father. As a manga reader, I was imaginging his voice when I was reading the current chapters, I wasn't expecting that he will actually be joining the cast.

That first half was everything to me. It's so nice seeing Aqua being cheerful... well for his standards, but we know it's not going to last long.

That 2nd half though holy fuck. Akane date started off cute too, until she realized Aqua just wanted an out from his revenge that he didn't even notice that the math ain't mathing. Ace Detective Akane back at it again.

Their father had no reason doing that little coat sway at the end there lmao, but Goddamn, his genes definitely won. Fuck, this Miyazaki trip is not gonna be a fun time is it.

this fking show man XD these episodes are too damn good!!! has me SO on edge

we obviously knew the father wasn’t actually dead. so maybe Himekawa got fooled (as in, he thought the wrong dude was his dad. maybe his mum had an affair or something (or worse))

and LIGHT YAGAMI voice actor is perfect

Good episode, the talk about love was disappointing though. Sometimes i think most of the writers do not know anything about love.

too much Kana screentime, I would prefer less of that specific side character
Oh, that was quite an amazing cliffhanger. I expected someone like him to look older but then again they haven't showed him in detail. Properly ominous feel and boy does he give the creeps being so close to Ruby.

@Commit_Crime Yup. Her appearances are more and more coming across as comic relief and the occasional reflection on acting/the showbusiness. She is completely oblivious to the greater overarching plot and does not have the intelligence, maturity and beauty of Akane. But Kana's kind of character is very popular with a specific demographic so I expect her to have big screentime until the very end. Her kind of childish characters sell.

Ok, this episode was interesting, although ultra weird, just like Aqua's relationship with Kane is simply childish and quite cute, Aqua's relationship with Akane is mega weird and awkward, as if Akane's lines "is it about sex? do you want sex? admit it" xD it was such a cringe, despite this I like her for this weirdness, on the one hand she is clumsy when it comes to relationships, a charming girl, and on the other a psychopath who impersonates other people and wants to help in murder without a moment's hesitation, her strange relationship with Aqua is much more nuanced, which makes it much more interesting than the relationship with Kane which does not work at all for me, Akane and Aqua are two weirdos who fit together and Kane is a normal charming girl and I do not understand what she sees in our emo MC xD

The ending of the episode... damn, we finally see the father, it seems strange. The plot is really starting to develop.

Hang on, I'm not sure if I got this right. Does that mean Aqua's half-brother is actually Ai's son from the dead father?
If so, then she got banged pretty damn early lmao.
@Zarutaku No, I think Aqua's father fucked AI and the mother of that black-haired guy xD

I always thought it was strange that Aqua never did the DNA test directly on the dead father.

Also, just because you think it's your dad, couldn't it be someone else that did it? I felt finding his dad might not have meant he found the killer.

I want to give it more credit for actually having Aqua miss something with this being intentional, but I'm fairly sure that the loophole Akane is talking about isn't the one I was thinking of (the timeline making the whole murder plot impossible)
Yeah I guess this explanation (regarding to the loophole) made sense the most. The murder-suicide should've happened long before Ai's death...

That last bit was absolutely NUUUUTS. And just what kind of omen was that crow at the graveyard serving to be only moments before? We all knew things couldn't just end at
.

A part of me actually loves Kana, but I'm also getting a little bored with tsunderes. It seems particularly that the poor-little-rich-girl tsundere has become a big archetype. Anime gonna anime, though.

That said, those first few minutes of her being frantic-lovesick over Aqua and their date were pretty damn funny, and served as a nice contrast to the spine-tingling last few minutes.

How did Akane figure out that Aqua’s father is still alive? I hope they further explain what the loophole is within the next 2 episodes. I knew the whole murder-suicide situation was a bit fishy since his supposed “father” didn’t have blonde hair. Aqua and Ruby had to get those genes from somewhere. I’m excited to find out more about the father. (9.5/10)
