| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- For the moment in the beginning I thought it was Yusuke but it was his father that were show in the beginning becuase he were watching the old videos now we know a little about Yusuke and his mother & father. It was sad to hear that both his mother and father was on a different accident. But the son was success born. I guess this is Yusuka past story. Previews: Another depressing & sad moment. |

| Horriblesub still didnt release this yet. |
| Mama, just killed Bin Laden. Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead. |
| Damn, they switched simulcast day from Thursday to Friday. |
 |
| Yeah and it has problems on CR ATM. Plays 2 minutes without subtitles. So no wonder Horriblesubs hasn't released it :S |
| Wow, great episode it sucks that Bossun's real parents died. Damn I wish it was already next week |
  |
| I knew right at the beginning that Haru was Bossun's mom. For some reason lol. Poor Bossun ; _ ; Can't wait for next week. It looks fucking depressing. 5/5 |

| What anime aired in tv when Bossun and his sister was watching it? |
|
| brb being depressed I knew this was going to be sad and I was on the verge of tears. Poor Bossun his real parents died and his current mother kept it from him. I knew his Dad probably would be dead, but I had no idea about everything else. Dx |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Today I am rly susceptible to tears so ofc I was bawling T.T Why did I want to watch it so much knowing I'd cry? T^T |
   |
| Eh I saw it on Thursday without subbed but dunno. bastek66 said: Damn, they switched simulcast day from Thursday to Friday. |

| Before I were confused about what is going on but this must be before he went on high school and meet Himiko and Switch. |

| omg so sad.. |
  |
| this series does a great job with its flashback arcs imo i have to wonder how much longer this show is gonna keep airing. bossun was the only sket member they hadnt shown a flashback for and now that the show has almost gone a full year and all the members pasts will have been addressed, it kinda worries me. i really hope this series continues tho. anyone know if this series continues past this season? |
| OMFG! *________* I`ve finally seen that animated,couldnt wait...ots so sad,Finally all sd`s past are revealed in animation :D Hell Yeah,and after this with his parents I hope they are gonna also animate that about his |

That's the next episode. Next episode will be the big shock to non-manga readers! <3 By the way. Bossun in this is 14. It's all flashback. It's back to the present next episode when he meets the doctor. |
| Awesome episode, impressions from this episode make me believe this arc may be as awesome or awesome(r) than Switch's arc. Preview for next ep looks great - glad i haven't hit the manga for this one, gonna be good. |
 |
| ^ good to know this part is a flashback because Rumi looked a bit younger,but thats rough i knew his dad wasn't a bad guy but it seems something far worst is gonna happen next week if i can't wait i might just read part B just like i did with Switch's arc. |
 |
| My heart shattered to pieces the moment of I heard the sound of the cars crashing. I've already read the manga, but it was still heart-breaking. I felt really bad for Bossun and for Akane too, bearing with this all this time I can't wait for the next episode! I can't. |
| T^T omg poor bossun... |
| Started crying as soon as I heard the cars crash ;_; |
| OMG bossun. I feel so sad after hearing about his parents. |
ichigo03 said: ...It's really fucked up though, the mom should've told him long time ago....oh well, I'm looking forward to seeing how this will play out. I think that she probably still carries a lot of guilt since she was driving his mother to the hospital in one crash, and called his father telling him to hurry which might have contributed to the other crash. It must have been tough on her raising a child as a single parent, particularly when it wasn't her own. I can understand why she might have avoided confronting it before this--unfortunately it hit Bossun pretty hard. Still, you have to give credit to Akane for making a loving home for both Bossun and Rumi--in the end he really isn't alone, no matter how he feels about it right now. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| The quality of this episode was really amazing & bossun has such a sad story....His arc is done better than Himeko's arc,I mean a lot better & also a just a bit better than switch s arc... |
 |
| Dramatic SKET Dance is dramatic. (Still it doesn't catch up Gintama) |
| wow ... This part about Yusuke history was really shocking >.< all the histories about the sket dance was really sad =/ i can't wait for the next episode |
| All I know is that it's going to make me cry. |

 |
| It's what i wanted ... |
 |
| ...dude this was just about as depressing as Switch's except Switch's was more drawn out and made me cry buckets while this one was face paced and just...a real fucking shock. What the hell.... |

This next season, it will probably continue because Bleach will end on this season and in my opinion, i don't think Shueisha would accept that two of its series finished on the same time... But i hope that it continues for a good time....  |
 |
| This was such a tearjerker in the manga...the anime didn't too too bad with it, yay. |
 |
| I watched the preview at the end and just can't understand Bossun's behavior...what is wrong with him? He should be grateful, that he didn't have to grow up in an orphanage like his real parents had to. He had a loving mother his whole life...it's sad, that he never got to know about his parents, but his mother just tried to protect him even though it was pretty dumb to just hide the old tapes in a closet. |
 |
| Man those spoiler tags are tempting to watch but i must not....spoil it for myslef since I don't read the manga. can't wait for next weeks episode! |
 |
Naelok said: Great ep. Though that ed really doesn't fit very well. "I'm gonna... start to hate them..." "PARTY PARTY!" Well, the fitting ending by the Sketchbook is always for the end of the arc, but well, it still felt really out of place xD |
| 1st they squeezed 7 eps of the ogress arc in two eps. Now they're going to squeeze 5 from Happy Birthday into two eps... I really hope they leave the next arc for the next 2 eps, because the manga showed more stuff from Bossun's parents. |
| So Sket Dan is a lighthearted manga on the surface but underneath, everyone has tragic past which only goes to show that people will smile all the time and never get any psych help or talk about their probs? Anyway...can't wait till next ep. I wonder how much the SD members know about each other's pasts |
| Really great episode even though I knew what was coming since I have already read the manga it was still really sad. Hopefully they make this into 3 episodes because the anime is really cutting a lot of good stuff in all these really good arcs :/. messedup said: I watched the preview at the end and just can't understand Bossun's behavior...what is wrong with him?

Well he is young and he feels that his life has been a lie and he is just confused |
| haven't read the manga yet so i am really looking forward to the next episode... at first i thought that was him in the video and i was asking myself who are these girls he is talking to |
| during the beginning of that i was like WHO THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE THAT BOSSUN IS WITH. i was about to just jump on here and look up names but i decided to wait it out, then it maid sense. i'm glad they finally got to his background. the tone change from the usual episodes is like a complete 180 but they do a really good job. must suck being lied to that whole time. |
 |
| THE LITTLE SISTERS VOICE ANNOYS THE HELL OUT OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! X_______________X |
| Bossun's parents were awesome |
| amazing episode! on to part 2.... |
