| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, that Zina Void girl seems to have a rivalry of sorts with Sakura this episode. Pretty intense stuff for this anime. An arm wrestling challenge seems rather fitting. I find it interesting we also got some narrative and storytelling from Zina. Gj on Sakura winning though. Well deserved if you ask me. I want to see more of Zina in this anime as she's quickly becoming my favorite character.  |
 |
| Void is a typical Russian name... Anyway an episode where Putin appears deserves a 10 out of 10. Hibiki showing of her insane strength ones again which even the others can't explain. And now she has a new rival because of it. |
Never thought I would see the day when an anime has a swole Putin hugging a bear LOL |
 |
 HAHAHAHA, IT'S FUCKING PUTIN POUTINE! Ok time for a week of jumping push-ups, nice bulk! |
 |
| The whole arm-wrestling took a serious turn. Hibiki's expressions were funny as usual. Comrade Poutine appeared lol. |
 |
| Damn this girl is gonna be fun:D Always nice to see Putin in all of his glory..... |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| That battle manga feel was hilarious. Great episode once again. |
 |
| The whole armwrestling segment was just gold. |

FMmatron said: The whole armwrestling segment was just gold. Exactly this! Machio v Hibiki and the buildup to it was bloody amazing, lol. It’s incredible to think that he’d to go serious there, just who is Hibiki xD? Hilarious interview there with Zyd though and those Poutin references were lit. Looks like Zyd’s homestay with Hibiki has begun lmao, can’t wait to see where this goes! Finally, jumping push-ups and push-ups are something I’m quite great at and arm-wrestling too for that matter so it’s good to feel the show touching upon one of my expertise lol. |

| Okay then Comrade Poutine I guess that'll be the meme screenshot of the week on Reddit |
  |
| golden episode, that was so funny also Touyama Nao said blyat............. I never thought this day would come |

| "Blyat".. LOL Didn't expect to see Putin in here as well |
| Think a child between Machio and Hibiki :P |
| Из России с любовью, лол. I never thought that I would see an anime girl with crush on hyper muscular Putin. Is this a kind of political statement or what? :D @KlinyKlinn Это приятно слышать, товарищ. And if without jokes, then this episode has not the best timing. |

| This episode was amazing, my favorite by far ! Hibiki future One Punch Girl confirmed (she might already be it actually). This Zina russian girl really looked cool, I like her chara design & the way she acts (full davaï style, adopting the Gasai style). |
 |
| The facial expressions in this show were absolutely hilarious. Thiccbiki once more showing her superior raw power. |

| That Putin imagery was hilarious. Sad, though, Zina doesn't realize Putin is an evil bitch. It's okay though, Zina is cute so I'll let her "comrade Putin" comments slide. |
 |
| In Poutine's Russia bear trains you. |
 |
| Sakura the destroyer lol. Zina is a nice addition. (also dat Putin wow) |
| Not sure what arm wrestling is doing in a training anime but it was fun in its own right. Also I trained before watching the show, no feeling guilty this week. |

phantomfandom said: The best episode yet, they manage to sneak Kengan moment in this show. Also it's very rare to have two anime from same author air at the same season (Dumbbell/Kengan Ashura in Netflix). Though I actually like the new exercise intro in Russian style, they're so obsess with bear LOL. Exactly, that episode show me that it's in the same universe as Kengan Ashura, I mean, the fighters coming, some of them smoking, the bright-dark eyes and the best...HIBIKI on Tokita Ouma MODE! And most important, this anime plays with its own stereotypes and keep being that motivating since the OP, which is AWESOME is just so COOL! |
 |
| Oh finally white hair girl appears. |
| that was absolutely hilarious, I love this damn show |
| Machio vs Hibiki arm wrestle was DOPE! That was so brilliantly done... To think Machio had to get serious there... gotta love the facial expressions too. Hibiki beat Zina with such brute force, she ripped her shirt... she's following into Machio's footsteps at this rate, such gold XD Poutin, just wow XD I just love how the Anime doesn't take itself serious, but on the other side, it does. Quite a good combination if you ask me. Best episode so far! |
 |
| Each time I watch this show, it really makes me want to go to the gym for the first time ever, which will make me spend money. Zina the Russian is very cute, not as much as Hibiki, but still cute. I'll dissent here with the Putin reference, it really upset me, I don't like at all his meddling in Latin American affairs, especially in Venezuela. My country Chile cannot receive more Venezuelan refugees that escape from an insane criminal regime supported by Vlad. |

| The episode was hilarious. Russian girl bringing russian cliches + rival character I like it |

| They just went full Jojo with this episode, and I LOVE IT!! And also, Putin is in the anime too, HOLY SHIT!! Instant 5/5 episode.  |
| Zina is great but Sakura, Machio & those sexy poses of sensei & akemi stole the episode from her. |

| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Best episode of the show. Easy 10/10 for the whole package. |
| The JoJo and Fist of the North Star vibes were too strong. I dig it |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Welcome to Canada, Comrade Poutine Zina copying Kanuka's Patlabor 1 entrance What's the deal with Russians always having white hair? That's another manga stereotype that Zina is adhering to I guess lol Makes sense since Zina is max chuuni  |
| Zina is hilarious. you would think with Hibiki's luck in everything that she would lose especially since Zina has the debut character advantage lol and LOL Poutine |
| Gotta love Machio's training segments. Both Akemi and Tachibana-sensei were just... damn. Excellent episode. Absolutely hilarious though seeing a muscular Putin hugging a bear was a bit too much for me to handle xD |

| "Her strength! It's like... the Siberian Tundra!" *proceeds to show snowy mountains instead of tundra* I honestly love seeing misguided Japanese stereotypes for foreign phenomena, it isn't often you get to see such clear-cut examples of a foreign mindset (at least as an American), but anime is a great way to do just that. Russia is all snowy mountains? From a Japanese perspective perhaps, since most of Russia's mountains are focused in the east. For Westerners? Good luck finding so much as a hill west of the Urals. |
 |
| This is the best episode so far! Animation during the arm sumo is great. The Jojo reference is very funny. Now that the girls are complete, this anime will be a lot more interesting |
 |
| No one gonna mention the kipping? |
| Powered by yuri. Needless to say, I finish all anime I start, no matter my initial opinion, no matter how bad it gets, I WILL FINISH IT! http://www.anime-planet.com/users/zunderdog24  |
| lol the power of home theater set and we have white haired Russian girl. what could be better? absolutely 10/10 episode |
| WAD THE HELL HAHA!!! The arm-wrestling segment is EASILY by far the best part of the episode. Lots of references abound make this the funniest and most intense Too bad the women's section only had Hibiki against a new foreign girl, Russian Zona Voyd. She won, but the new girl isn't done yet. Dat Putin, no Poutine scene though...whew! Didn't know dat. Man the Russians love Putin. The kipping, or calisthenics is quite the norm though, as much as it is a gym equipment to train and exercise. The deal-breaker (or maker)? Zona staying in Hibiki's home. WHAT A TWIST! Best episode so far! Workout of the week: jumping push-ups! Nice bulk! |
 |
| That Putin look way more muscular than the real putin |
KANLen09 said: The kipping, or calisthenics is quite the norm though, as much as it is a gym equipment to train and exercise. I hope you arent implying that kipping is a form of calisthenics. Calisthenics uses your body weight to create resistance while kipping uses body weight to assist in the movement by generating momentum. Kipping is absolutely useless unless youre entering a competition, thats why its the norm. |

| Zina Void!!! This russian girl really lives up the stereotype life XD Lovin every moment of this new character. Great leader right there. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
Man, that poutine reference, LOL.  So, it's arm wrestling for today and we jaz have a new bitch from Russia and Zina Void was her name URA!!!!!!!!!!!!!.  |
