Ooh a search for a boy from 8 years ago...

This kinda ties in with the overall storytelling for this series. Enokida is honestly one of the most mysterious characters in this series. Hard to know what's going on in his head most of the time. The drama with the hacking conspiracy was also rather noticable as part of the story. I notice the show still throws in baseball references here and there.

Nice episode, was looking forward to an Enokida focused episode. Always liked the guy.

I love how Banba's random thoughts often inspire the characters to take their respective course of action. Can't wait to see what Enokida does next to throw his pursuers off the trail and possibly get back at them.

Ooh...the perspective changes to the well-known hacker/informant Enokida...the lost child of a rich family.

And although the hacking incident is in the way, just hoping some action from him, the usual way he does, his way.

Now that he's become the target of cybercrime by a hacker hitmen group, can't wait to see how he's gonna shake this situation off him.

This was a good episode with some more focus on Enokida who was the lost child of a rich family. He's servant is an awesome guy. Looking forward to see how Enokida is going to deal with the hacker hitmen group.

I'm getting pulled into this anime more and more with each episode. It's style kinda resembles baccano, now that I think about it.

Wasn't expecting Enokida to have such a backround.

This is quite the interesting development.

Good episode, but that ending? Just turn the goddamn GPS off kid. Or perhaps he will use a fake location to lure the assassins into a trap.

Nice that we are getting a bit of a mini-arc to flesh out Black Leg a little bit, I hope some of the other characters get similar treatment.

Good ep as usual but this show really fails about things that involve tech and hacking. That whole "hacker without a pc is useless" bit is utter bullshit because there are a ton of ways to "hack" without one. There wasn't even any thought on ways to find against being tracked such as spoofing GPS, not having GPS in the first place, turning GPS off (cell towers can only get you so far), etc.. Another thing they failed on previously is "urajob.com" being on the dark web but having a .com domain.

MACRO HARD! Well that has two definitions based on how you see it.
1. The opposite of Microsoft.
2. If you play RTS games...well...yeah...MACRO HARD!

"They were going to make the prince a playboy and have all the princesses fight over him." That's a play I'd like to see hehehe...

SHOES!


Well they have a point. Without a PC, a hacker is nothing. And Enokida just got a huge bounty on his head, so he's going to have a lot of people chasing him. I wonder how he's going to get out of this mess. That preview didn't look pretty for him. I'm actually glad that this story isn't just in one episode. I want to see how everything comes together. The wig, the homeless beat-ups, and how they deal with the anti-hackers.

Nice to get some backstory about Mushroom-kun. This is looking to be a pretty interesting arc. I was confused about one thing. Why was Enokida looking for Marco Hard? I thought that hacker killer group (M3?) mentioned that they were the ones who were sending people the fake messages telling them to pay up etc. Maybe I misread or just missed something entirely.

If i'm understand this right...Macro Hard was sending threats for politicians, then the butler hired Enokida for this (probably the secret of that guy (Enokida's father) in the beginning of the episode was referring to Enokida's past). For a similar reason, M3 was hired by some organization to take care of Macro Hard, and because of Macro Hard's data they came to know about Enokida "Black Leg". That M3's hacker was just using Saito's computer to send threats and other things for fun.

P.S.: apparently, that organization's guy referred to M3's hacker like "psychopath with personality issues" and the guy who killed the homeless like "washed-up boxer", i mean, the first guy is the psycho? XD

well you are right but the name of the organization was M3 and they hired the hacker to get rid of macro hard and from macro hard's files that hacker found about black leg(enokida).Enokida was also in the black list(hackers to eliminate) of M3 organization.

Seems like we'll be getting more action for Enokida. I honestly thought his backstory was lacking before since we didn't get any for him at all, but with this we'll finally be able to find out more about him instead of him doing it this time.

Sidenote, we need more time spent on the other characters like the cop

Enokida gets the focus this episode. He was always unknow, nice to know a bit of his past.
I still think he’s the least trust worthy tho...

M3 is a strange group. uhhhhh that’s all
Good episode! Really like this storyline so far

It was cool to learn more about Enokida and Yagi is a pretty cool old man, again cementing the idea that there is no such thing as a non-badass old man in anime

Very nice focus shift, the whole past and backstory of black leg was quite interesting if you ask me. Looking quite forwards to see what he'll do as "bait"! Let's see what's next.

Kind of surprising that Enokida is a rich boy considering he lurks net cafes most of the time. He definitely looks better with blonde hair.

Also, poor Saitou, they found cp on his phone :( He can't catch a break.
